During the Iowa Cub's 2016 season, I was lucky enough to get a video team internship with the team. I spent hours and hours with the team at Principal Park. Throughout the season players were getting moved up and down between Chicago and Des Moines, so I was able to meet a lot of players throughout the season.
Going into the season, I was never a big baseball fan, and by a big fan I mean I have never watched a full game. Ever. So I came into the job knowing nothing about anyone on the team. Sometime within the first couple weeks, it became very evident I didn't know any players or their history.
One day I was on the mobile camera in a photo well by the Iowa Cubs dugout, when a pitcher started talking in Spanish to me. He didn't know I knew a little bit of Spanish, so I responded in very, very bad Spanish. It had been a year or so since I had thought about Spanish, but we managed to have a simple conversation. Later on I found out I was talking to Jean Machi, who had won a World Series, apparently. After finding out he had been so successful, I decided I should probably learn a bit about the guys.
Throughout the season players would continue to move up and down, and I didn't think much about it while we were still in season, but as the Chicago Cubs were moving towards the World Series, it was getting pretty interesting. I started watching some of their games because so many of them had been playing here in Des Moines just a month or two ago.
Wilson Contras and Almora Jr. really stick out when I think back to the players from Des Moines that have moved up. It really changed watching baseball for me. I would be watching the games and see Munenori Kawasaki in the dugouts and think back to the summer when his kid was running around our cameras completely oblivious to the game that was going on. Being able to watch the World Series games and actually know the guys playing is probably the coolest thing to take away from my internship. This year was such a special year for the Cubs and I can say that in certain ways, I was actually a part of that.

Responding to the Tribune's critique of the Utah Sound Money Act, Larry Hilton, author of the bill responds:
By larry hiltonView Original Article....
First published Jan 08 2011 01:01AM
Updated Jan 8, 2011 01:01AM
It was with great interest — quickly turning to chagrin — that I launched into the editorial on the Utah Sound Money Act that appeared in Monday's Tribune ("Gold fever: Ignore Utah Sound Money Act," Opinion, Jan. 3). The newspaper's thinly veiled attempt to recast the stark reality we all experience every day into the fictional "establishment spin" too many in today's media faithfully recite, frankly fell flat.
For example, pointing to the rise in the price of gold without acknowledging the unprecedented expansion in the U.S. money supply, which more than doubled over the time period cited, came off as either disingenuous or embarrassingly ill-informed. Further, chiding bullion markets for "volatility," without conceding the smoothing effect that the true monetization of gold and silver coinage has on the precious metals demand curve, lacked honest conviction, to say the least.
Consider, for example, that dating from the passage of the Free Coinage Act of 1792 until the enactment of the Coinage Act of 1965, an ounce of silver cost exactly $1.29. That's because until 1965 a dollar was defined as 371.25 troy grains of silver and one troy ounce contains 480 such grains. The 1965 act began the process of replacing the silver coin Americans had been using for 173 years with the base-metal tokens in use today.
The result was predictable. Now, at the beginning of 2011, a troy ounce of silver costs just over $30. That represents more than a 95 percent loss in the dollar's purchasing power in less than 50 years. And yet, in the face of the undeniable slow-motion heist Americans have been subjected to, The Tribune's editorial board would blithely deny Utahns a sound money option to function alongside the debased monetary system the Federal Reserve monopoly thrusts upon Americans today?
I suppose they would likewise castigate our elected state representatives should they even consider taking action to fulfill their express constitutional duty to not "make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts" (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10).
The true irony is that the passage of the Utah Sound Money Act could actually become the best thing to happen to the U.S. dollar since 1965. If embraced by even a small, critical mass of the citizenry, it might well begin the process of putting the brakes on our national leaders' very bad, very dysfunctional habit of creating gobs of money out of thin air whenever they feel the need to further fund the pitiful welfare/warfare state they envision for America.
I wonder if The Tribune's luminaries have ever considered that perhaps the sanity that sound money brings might arrest today's global flight from the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency?
Just a thought.
Lawrence D. Hilton is a Utah attorney and insurance salesman who authored the Utah Sound Money Act, draft legislation that would allow Utah residents to mint their own gold or silver coins and require that government agencies accept gold for transactions.

Perhaps the Tribune is coming around to a more "sound" point of view on the topic. One indicator being their having opted to omit the final paragraph of the piece submitted by Citizens for Sound Money:
In any event, if Monday's offering truly represents the Tribune's best thinking on monetary policy, I would happily consent to meeting them in a panel debate on the topic in any public forum of their choosing. In the interest of fair play, here's a couple of free tips for Team Trib: First, be sure to begin your debate prep with a visit to CitizensForSoundMoney.org; Second, feel free to recruit Ben Bernanke for your side of the table.

Windows 7 Home Premium Edition
Replacing Windows 8 with 7 on OEM desktop?
I have a full retail version of Windows 7 on my old computer on its last legs and want to install it on a new computer. I don't have time to build one from scratch and would like to get a new desktop computer from HP. I don't want Windows 8, so can I just replace the hard drive on the new computer and install Windows 7 on the OEM computer? Is there anything in the HP computer to prevent this installation?

You need a Windows retail license to do that. With an OEM license it will not work. And just swapping your old disk is not possible.
The new PC would be UEFI. That makes installing Windows 7 a bit iffy - but there are tutorials on this forum that tell you how to skin this cat.

However if it gives you any trouble I wouldn't waste time with the added layer of crapware but instead Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7

"I'm praying for you." Or how to deal with my mother...(44 Posts)
So after spending the past 3 months of my pregnancy without any family support, I got a text from my mother.
"Hello redwine, as we haven't heard from you, we presume you're still angry. The most important thing to remember is that we love you. Don't know why you felt you had to storm off like that when a cup of tea and a hug would've made all the difference.Why can you never bring yourself to. say sorry? We are praying for you daily
Think I'd be tempted to just text back 'I'm fine thanks, apology accepted'.
^Then just take it one step at a time.
Whatever you do don't reply.
She won't hear you, and all it will do is provoke a reaction from you, and then she knows how to get you.
It's emotional manipulative nightmare parent 101.
Ignore. Detach some more.
Check out stately homes thread on here, you'll be right at home! there are loads of lovely MNers who'll know exactly what you're going through.
I would text back,
Thank you for praying for me. I am sorry you and sis were upset on our last visit but we just don't know why everything went so wrong. We have not being in contact because we didn't really know what to do about all this and it is awful for everyone when there are arguments.
Anyway I hope you are all well and sis has settled into uni.
Wine and family.
You know what, RedWine, if it would make you feel better, then forwarding the website and saying 'think these people are in more need of your prayers. I'm fine.' would be, well, if not advisable, then OK. Well, it might make you feel better anyway.
But really, the advise is 'ignore, ignore, ignore...' There's no greater revenge on a narcissistic parent than proving you can live your life happily and well without them.
Beattie that is what DH has done in effect. It's the only way he can deal with it and I can see that it makes him feel very sad, but it is better than the upset she can cause when we are in contact.
In fact following on from my thread about my own mother earlier this week I was saying to DH why can't we just have families where you can say 'oh my mum and dad are lovely' and I think the answer is that both of our parents were basically very unhappily married and they can't contain their bitterness at life, especially when DH and I seem to be so happy/successful.
well, it sounds like there is a lot of history. If anyone smacked my son, never mind repeatedly, I'd be exceptionally angry and they might well be out of my life anyway. However.
Assuming you want some sort of relationship, then maybe the best thing is to plan how much you are willing to put up with. At what point do you draw the line and walk away? you cant foresee every circumstance but you can have a rough idea, such as "we can handle upsets if they speak to us calmly but if they explode without explanation that's our limit" or "we want only contact every 6 months' or 'they can visit us, but we won't go there"
Then text her back calmly. Explain that actually you had no idea why your sister and then mother were upset and what was difficult for your family was that there was no calm explanation and chance to sort things out. If they are willing to speak in a level headed way about why they were upset then perhaps it can be sorted out, but you do need to know what the heck was going on and why they were unhappy. You left - not stormed out, but left - because you felt that whatever was happening could not be sorted out then and it was all pretty miserable. It was the best option in the circumstances.
If they respond with games such as 'you should have known' then you can only say that you didn't. They can choose either to explain in a calm way. If they don't, then keep your distance. If they do and it was a reasonable explanation then you can talk further.
If it was unreasonable then time to keep distance. From what you wrote this is not the first time it's happened and you feel that they do both twist things and broadcast them all over. If that's the case, then I'm afraid you're in for a rough ride and again, you'll have to decide just how much contact you do or don't want.
I think in all this you have to consider the impression your children are left with. Shouting and tantrums are a very poor example. For this reason alone it might be an idea to keep a bit of distance. If the good outweighs the bad, then at the least point out to the children that this is how not to handle disagreements and upsets!
I think that the keys here are calmness, speaking clearly and without too much passion and keeping a clear idea of what you want out of your mother and sister and how much you're prepared to put up with.
good luck.
she sounds very similar to my mother. I think you should ignore the text. and cut contact.
like you I feel sad that I don't have a good relationship with my parent or any support from my mum like my friends do, but I don't think it is possible with the parent I have. It's sad but you need to focus on your little family and make the most of them. At the end of the day it's your mum that will lose out.
"Mum, we left because there was a problem with us that a) nobody would explain to us and b) it mean you ignoring us for X hours. The time to talk about it was then. If you want to explain then do, but I have no problem with my decision."
And ignore the crap about the praying.
Just text back "All fine here, thanks. Will let you know when the baby arrives".
So you don't get drawn in to any debate about who was wrong or right, but you can't be accused of sulking or game playing by not responding. It might help to calm things down if you respond to her as if you have a normal but rather distant relationship- completely ignoring any histrionics may mean that she doesn't have the fuel to feed the fire.
I would also point you to the website entitled Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers and go from there as well.
I would ignore such a message because of the passive aggressive nature of it. This message neither conveys any real apology or even responsibility for her own actions, its actually also quite blaming of you. Such toxic people thrive off such drama and any response from you will give her an "in".
Emotionally healthy balanced people would not act in such a manner. I would also think your Dad's role in this overall dysfunctional birth family unit from whence you came is that of bystander. Such weak men often act out of self preservation and want of a quiet life, he has failed to protect you here from her malign influences. Such women like your mother as well always but always need a willing enabler to help them.
I would suggest you read "Toxic Parents" written by Susan Forward as a starting point.
I would also state that if she is too difficult to deal with she is too difficult for your children to have to deal with as well. I would not visit them at all.
I agree its a passive aggressive attempt at an olive branch .,... but some people are only able to communicate that way.
Personally, I think I would stay totally at arms length, The short bits of history you have posted seem to show that you are actually in conflict whenever she is part of your lives. TBH I would have drawn the line when she smacked my children!
I am someone who usually believes that talking can solve most things, but when it comes to narc parents there simply is never a genuine communication going on.
I would reply, but in quite clipped fashion to say that as they do not understand why there has been no contact it is obvious that nothing has changed, and you would therefore prefer no further contact.
Dear God, why would she think she would have a leg to stand on? Total narcissism. I feel your pain.
I would reply, simply saying that you have nothing to apologise for, and are tired of feeling as though you need to for nothing at all.
Then stop all contact after that. Others are right; you don't need them in your lives.
lookingthrough i was thinking of something like "how sweet that you'd spend so much time praying for me. and when i already have so much to be thankful for. Have you seen either of these websites?" & then do a link Oxfam &/or Amnesty International.
What do you think?
Well, it's always been rocky. & i should say that 3 days & was the absolute maximum dh & i estimated we could cope with. seems tgat was on the generous side...
i just don't like all the packing, planning & travelling when the dcs never know what to expect emotionally when we go & see them.
Of course, being something of an angry, impulsive thing myself, I'd probably text back 'Praying for your soul too, Mum.'
But I would wish that I could just go ahead and ignore her.
oh and the we are praying for you thing is hideously passive agressive
I would be inclined to ignore tbh. She sounds just like my MIL ie a bit bonkers and if you engage you'll just give her more ammunition. Stress like this is the last thing you need with another baby on the way. What does your DH think?
My DH had to basically ignore his mother and while he hasn't fallen out with her their relationship is quite fragile as she uses any excuse to be nasty and it really upsets him, so ignoring is the best way for him to cope with her.
I don't think you should ignore the text, if you were visiting a couple of months ago for several days then you obviously usually have a decent relationship with her. You have as much right as your sister to voice your feelings, your sister sounds like spoilt brat btw!
Just tell her calmly why you left, the ball is in her court then.
lookingthrough yes, i had that thought in the back of my mind too. i do have another sister & a brother too, but they're pretty unapologetoc about going off & living their own lis. they're not manipulable, or needy, i suppose.
snowqueen yes, dd1 was only 3 at the time. M wasn't part of my life for at least 6 months after that, but she wormed her way back in, and look where that got me.
it's hard because i look around at friends who have parents & inlaws who genuinely help out a lot, & i feel sad my dcs will never experience that kind of love & care which comes without strings attached. my dad's parents were always there in a non-judgemental way when i was growing up & i just wish my family were like that. times have changed i suppose. or maybe i'm just crap at dealing with them.
Oh, and I'm now suspicious about the timing.
She's on her own with non-engaging Dad. Precious daughter is away in halls. Where will her focus go next...
I completely agree with Mummytime's response. That is; no response. You already know she'll twist what you say, and/or share it about. No response is the only real way forward.
wait, she repeatedly smacked dd1??!
Ignore the email, make separate contact with your father if you can and you want to, otherwise leave them to it.

The subject application claims the benefit of commonly owned, co-pending U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/237,755, filed Sep. 29, 2000, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
This application is a DIV of Ser. No. 09/968,128 filed Oct. 1, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,802,743.
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to devices for interfacing with high frequency data transfer media and, more particularly, to modular jack housing inserts, such as those that are used as interface connectors for Unshielded Twisted Pair ("UTP") media, that advantageously compensate for and reduce electrical noise.
2. Background Art
In data transmission, the signal originally transmitted through the data transfer media is not necessarily the signal received. The received signal will consist of the original signal after being modified by various distortions and additional unwanted signals that affect the original signal between transmission and reception. These distortions and unwanted signals are commonly collectively referred to as "electrical noise," or simply "noise." Noise is a primary limiting factor in the performance of a communication system. Many problems may arise from the existence of noise in connection with data transmissions, such as data errors, system malfunctions and/or loss of the intended signals.
The transmission of data, by itself, generally causes unwanted noise. Such internally generated noise arises from electromagnetic energy that is induced by the electrical energy in the individual signal-carrying lines within the data transfer media and/or data transfer connecting devices, such electromagnetic energy radiating onto or toward adjacent lines in the same media or device. This cross coupling of electromagnetic energy (i.e., electromagnetic interference or EMI) from a "source" line to a "victim" line is generally referred to as "crosstalk."
Most data transfer media consist of multiple pairs of lines bundled together. Communication systems typically incorporate many such media and connectors for data transfer. Thus, there inherently exists an opportunity for significant crosstalk interference.
Crosstalk can be categorized in one of two forms. Near end crosstalk, commonly referred to as NEXT, arises from the effects of near field capacitive (electrostatic) and inductive (magnetic) coupling between source and victim electrical transmissions. NEXT increases the additive noise at the receiver and therefore degrades the signal to noise ratio (SNR). NEXT is generally the most significant form of crosstalk because the high-energy signal from an adjacent line can induce relatively significant crosstalk into the primary signal. The other form of crosstalk is far end crosstalk, or FEXT, which arises due to capacitive and inductive coupling between the source and victim electrical devices at the far end (or opposite end) of the transmission path. FEXT is typically less of an issue because the far end interfering signal is attenuated as it traverses the loop.
Characteristics and parameters associated with electromagnetic energy waves can be derived by Maxwell's wave equations. In unbounded free space, a sinusoidal disturbance propagates as a transverse electromagnetic wave. This means that the electric field vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field vectors lying in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave. As a result, crosstalk generally gives rise to a waveform shaped differently than the individual waveform(s) originally transmitted.
Unshielded Twisted Pair cable or UTP is a popular and widely used type of data transfer media. UTP is a very flexible, low cost media, and can be used for either voice or data communications. In fact, UTP is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for Local Area Networks ("LANs") and other in-building voice and data communications applications. In a UTP, a pair of copper wires generally form the twisted pair. For example, a pair of copper wires with diameters of 0.4-0.8 mm may be twisted together and wrapped with a plastic coating to form a UTP. The twisting of the wires increases the noise immunity and reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the data transmission to some degree. Also, using two wires, rather than one, to carry each signal permits differential signaling to be used. Differential signaling is generally more immune to the effects of external electrical noise.
The non-use of cable shielding (e.g., a foil or braided metallic covering) in fabricating UTP generally increases the effects of outside interference, but also results in reduced cost, size, and installation time of the cable and associated connectors. Additionally, non-use of cable shielding in UTP fabrication generally eliminates the possibility of ground loops (i.e., current flowing in the shield because of the ground voltage at each end of the cable not being exactly the same). Ground loops may give rise to a current that induces interference within the cable, interference against which the shield was intended to protect.
The wide acceptance and use of UTP for data and voice transmission is primarily due to the large installed base, low cost and ease of new installation. Another important feature of UTP is that it can be used for varied applications, such as for Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, ATM, EIA-232, ISDN, analog telephone (POTS), and other types of communication. This flexibility allows the same type of cable/system components (such as data jacks, plugs, cross-patch panels, and patch cables) to be used for an entire building, unlike shielded twisted pair media ("STP").
At present, UTP is being used for systems having increasingly higher data rates. Since demands on networks using UTP systems (e.g., 100 Mbit/s and 1200 Mbit/s transmission rates) have increased, it has become necessary to develop industry standards for higher system bandwidth performance. Systems and installations that began as simple analog telephone service and low speed network systems have now become high speed data systems. As the speeds have increased, so too has the noise.
The ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A standard defines electrical performance for systems that utilize the 1 to 100 MHz frequency bandwidth range. Exemplary data systems that utilize the 1-100 MHz frequency bandwidth range include IEEE Token Ring, Ethernet10Base-T and 100Base-T. EIA/TIA-568 and the subsequent TSB-36 standards define five categories, as shown in the following Table, for quantifying the quality of the cable (for example, only Categories 3, 4, and 5 are considered "datagrade UTP").

Underwriter's Laboratory defines a level-based system, which has minor differences relative to the EIA/TIA-568's category system. For example, UL requires the characteristics to be measured at various temperatures. However, generally (for example), UL Level V (Roman numerals are used) is the same as EIA's Category 5, and cables are usually marked with both EIA and UL rating designations.
UTP cable standards are also specified in the EIA/TIA-568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard, including the electrical and physical requirements for UTP, STP, coaxial cables, and optical fiber cables. For UTP, the requirements currently include:
Additionally, the EIA/TIA-568 standard specifies the color coding, cable diameter, and other electrical characteristics, such as the maximum cross-talk (i.e., how much a signal in one pair interferes with the signal in another pair—through capacitive, inductive, and other types of coupling). Since this functional property is measured as how many decibels (dB) quieter the induced signal is than the original interfering signal, larger numbers reflect better performance.
Category 5 cabling systems generally provide adequate NEXT margins to allow for the high NEXT associated with use of present UTP system components. Demands for higher frequencies, more bandwidth and improved systems (e.g., Ethernet 1000Base-T) on UTP cabling, render existing systems and methods unacceptable. The TIA/EIA category 6 draft addendum related to new category 6 cabling standards illustrates heightened performance demands. For frequency bandwidths of 1 to 250 MHz, the draft addendum requires the minimum NEXT values at 100 MHz to be −39.9 dB and −33.1 dB at 250 MHz for a channel link, and −54 dB at 100 MHz and −46 dB at 250 MHz for connecting hardware. Increasing the bandwidth for new category 6 (i.e., from 1 to 100 MHz in category 5 to 1 to 250 MHz in category 6) increases the need to review opportunities for further reducing system noise.
The standard modular jack housing is configured and dimensioned so as to provide maximum compatibility and matability between various manufacturers, e.g., based on the FCC part 68.500 mechanical dimension. Two types of offsets have been produced from the FCC part 68.500 modular jack housing dimensions.
Type one is the standard FCC part 68.500 style for modular jack housing and such standard housing does not add or include any compensation methods to reduce crosstalk noises. The standard modular jack housing utilizes a straightforward design approach and, by alignment of lead frames in a relatively uniform, parallel pattern, high NEXT and FEXT are produced for certain adjacent wire pairs.
This type one or standard FCC part 68.500 style of modular jack housing connector is defined by two lead frame section areas. The first section is the matable area for electrical plug contact and section two is the output area of the modular jack housing. Section one aligns the lead frames in a relatively uniform, parallel pattern from lead frame tip to the bend location that enters section two, thus producing high NEXT and FEXT noises. Section two also aligns the lead frames in a relatively uniform, parallel pattern from lead frame bend location to lead frame output, thus producing and allowing additional high NEXT and FEXT noises.
There have been approaches that are intended to reduce the crosstalk noises associated with these type one or standard modular jack housings. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,674,093 to Vaden et al. discloses an electrical connector having an irregular bend in one lead frame of each pair. The irregular bend reduces the parallelism of the lead frames to contribute to reductions in potential coupling effects. Although crosstalk noise may be reduced, forming lead frames as disclosed in the Vaden '093 patent is a complex process and the return loss and differential impedance in the circuit is disadvantageously increased for all four pairs.
The second type of modular jack housing is the standard FCC part 68.500 style for modular jack housings that incorporate compensation methods to reduce crosstalk noises. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,639,266 to Stewart discloses a compensation approach for modular jack housings that involves aligning the lead frames of the opposite pairs in an uniformed parallel pattern to removed crosstalk noises. The Stewart connector is defined by two lead frame section areas, section one being the matable area for electrical plug contact and section two being the output area of the modular jack housing. Stewart's section one aligns two lead frames, namely, positions 3 and 5 out of 8, in an uniformed and reversed signal parallel pattern from lead frame tip to the bend location that enters section two, thus reducing crosstalk noises by signal compensation. Section two also aligns the lead frames in an uniformed parallel pattern from lead frame bend location to lead frame stagger array output, which minimizes NEXT, but due to the imbalances of the center wire pairs 1 and 3, FEXT noises are disadvantageously increased according to the Stewart '266 design.
Another example of crosstalk compensation methodology is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,770 to Berg and U.S. Pat. No. 5,779,503 to Nordx/CDT. These two patents disclose compensation approaches for modular jack housings that involve aligning and re-bending the lead frames of the opposite pairs in an uniformed parallel pattern to contribute to crosstalk noise reduction. The Berg and Nordx/CDT devices utilize de facto standard rear entry pin positions of 0.1 inch separation for all pair arrays after the deformation of the wire pairs. The re-bending of lead frames as disclosed by the Berg '770 and Nordx/CDT '503 patents is an expensive process and the crosstalk reductions addressed by these disclosures occur mainly within the second section of their respective designs. Another method for crosstalk noise reduction and control in connecting hardware is addressed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,618,185 to Aekins, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
In view of the increasing performance demands being placed on UTP systems, e.g., the implementation of category 6 standards, it would be beneficial to provide a device and/or methodology that reduces NEXT and FEXT noises associated with standard FCC part 68.500 modular jack housings in a simple and cost effective manner. These and other objectives are achieved through the advantageous insert devices and systems disclosed herein.
The present disclosure provides a modular plug dielectric insert device for a data/voice communication system modular jack housing that advantageously reduces NEXT and FEXT.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, a modular plug dielectric insert device is disclosed that is particularly adapted for being seated in a data/voice communication system modular jack housing that will reduce signal delay from the plugs input to the IDC terminal outputs to better control NEXT and FEXT of a connecting hardware.
In addition, a modular jack dielectric insert device for data/voice systems is provided that will not deform the wire pairs in a standard EIA T568B style wire configuration and is simple, low cost and easy to implement into a modular housing. Preferred lead frame wires according to the present disclosure are simple in form, but are precisely bent in proper direction(s) to reduce noise and re-balance the signal pairs in a simple and low cost manner, without reducing the impedance characteristics of the wire pairs.
Devices and/or systems according to the present disclosure include an insert in the data signal transmission media plug receiving space of a modular housing. The insert is preferably composed of a dielectric support member having a plurality of pairs of electrically conductive elongated members. Each elongated member generally includes a contact portion which is exposed in the receiving space of the modular housing for making electrical contact with the media plug contacts and a rear portion with an arcuate portion between. The contact and rear portions are in a positional relationship with respect to each other that substantially reduces and/or removes electrical noise. Thus, a capacitance is formed by the adjacency and/or degree of separation of the members which advantageously compensates for electrical noise during transmission of a signal.
In one aspect in accordance with the present disclosure, the plurality of pairs of elongated members have substantially multilaterally symmetrical portions and substantially multilaterally asymmetrical portions.
In another aspect in accordance with the present disclosure, the contact portions of the elongated conductive members are substantially multilaterally symmetrical and the rear portions are substantially multilaterally asymmetrical.
In another aspect in accordance with the present disclosure, the contact portions are substantially parallel.
In another aspect in accordance with the present disclosure, each pair of the plurality of pairs of elongated members includes a ring member and a tip member. The ring and tip members may be separated so that the ring members are on the same plane, that is, in one row, and the tip members are in another row. Preferably, these rows of conductors are spaced apart.
In another aspect in accordance with the present disclosure, the curved portions of the elongated members are substantially U-shaped, that is, they divide the elongated member into a contact portion and rear portion which extend substantially in the same direction.
Preferably, the disclosed insert is used in a modular jack for receiving and compensating a signal transmitted through the eight leads from a standard RJ45 wire plug. The EIA T568B has eight positions numbered 1-8 which are paired as follows: 1-2 (pair 2), 3-6 (pair 3), 4-5 (pair 1), 7-8 (pair 4). For the EIA T568B or T568configurations of category 5 and 6 UTP cabling (and most others), there are also eight positions. Thus, there are eight elongated conductive elements disposed on the dielectric support member. Again, each element has a contact portion for establishing electrical contact with one of the eight leads. Each rear portion extends beyond the insert for connecting to another component or device for further transmission of the signal. These conductive elements are advantageously arranged in a positional relationship with respect to each other for forming a capacitance to compensate electrical noise during transmission of the signal. This advantageous positional relationship may involve positioning the contact portions of the eight conductive elements in a substantially parallel alignment along a longitudinal axis, and having the rear portions include parallel portions as well as portions transverse to the longitudinal axis.
An arrangement for compensating cross-talk noise in an electrical signal is also disclosed herein, such arrangement including a dielectric modular jack housing having a signal transmission media receiving space for signal transmission media having a plurality of conductive members, such as a UTP cable and plugs. The plurality of pairs of elongated conductors are disposed in the signal transmission media receiving space. Each elongated conductor has a contact portion for mating with the signal transmission media and a back end portion that includes an extension for connecting with a terminal on a printed circuit board ("PCB"). The PCB may have multiple terminals for connecting with other electrically conductive media, such as a UTP cable. In accordance with the present disclosure, the plurality of pairs of elongated conductors are in a positional relationship with respect to each other to form a capacitance for compensating electrical noise in a signal transmission. The positional relationship may involve the contact portions being substantially parallel with respect to each other along a longitudinal axis and/or the back end portions being partially parallel and partially transverse with respect to the axis.
The electrical noise may be reduced by the positional relationship which advantageously results in a combination of dual and separate signal feedback reactances. The reactances in the insert device compensate for pair to pair NEXT, FEXT and impedance in a simple and cost effective unit solution.

These and other features of the method of the subject disclosure will become more readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art from the following detailed description of preferred and exemplary embodiments.
The following detailed description of preferred and/or exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is intended to be read in the light of, or in context with, the preceding summary and background descriptions. Unless otherwise apparent, or stated, directional references, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front" and "rear", are intended to be relative to the orientation of a particular embodiment of the disclosure as shown in the first numbered view of that embodiment. Also, a given reference numeral should be understood to indicate the same or a similar structure when it appears in different figures.
A significant portion and, in many instances, a majority of the coupled noise associated with the standard EIA RJ45 T568B plug arises from the adjacency of the paired arrangements. On a relative basis, the worst case NEXT noise in a RJ45 plug is a balance coupled negative noise, meaning the noise is coupled equally upon the adjacent pairs. Thus, with reference to
Referring now to
Lead frames 18-25 have contact portions 26 which each touch one of the eight RJ45 plug contacts when mated together. Frames 18, 20, 22 and 24 correspond with plug contacts 1, 3, 5 and 7, and are used for tip (i.e., positive voltage) signal transmission. Lead frames 19, 21, 23 and 25 correspond with plug contacts 2, 4, 6 and 8 on the RJ45 plug and are used for ring (i.e., negative voltage) signal transmission. Accordingly, the mating between pairs in the RJ45 plug and insert 10 is as shown below:
RJ45 plug pair
Insert 10 lead frames
21 and 22
18 and 19
20 and 23
24 and 25
For upper row lead frames 18, 20, 22 and 24, contact portions 26 are extended above the upper surface 28 of body 12 at an angle 30 with respect to the plane of upper surface 28. Preferably, angle 30 ranges from about 15 to about 60 degrees, and is more preferably about 30 degrees when insert 10 is mated with the RJ45 plug. Contact portions 26 connect to a curved portion 32 which enters body 12 at receiving ports 34 located between upper surface 28 and the lower surface 36 of body 12. Curved portions 32 in the upper row lead frames 18, 20, 22 and 24 are generally supported by support notches 38 disposed on body 12 adjacent to the interior of curved portions 32. A rear portion 40 connects with curved portions 32. Rear portions 40 extend through body 12 from the front end 42 to the rear end 44, and include a connecting portion 46 which extends a short distance from rear end 44.
For lower row lead frames 19, 21, 23 and 25, contact portions 26 are extended above the upper surface of body 12. Contact portions 26 for lead frames 19, 21 and 23 are at an angle 48 with respect to the plane of upper surface 28. Preferably, angle 48 ranges from about 30 degrees to about 75 degrees, and more preferably, is about 40 degrees when insert 10 is mated with the RJ45 plug. Lead frame 25 is preferably at an angle substantially the same as angle 30. Lower row lead frames have extended and generally curved portions 50 which substantially direct the lead frames around the entire front end 42 at receiving ports 52. Curved portions 50 direct the lead frames back into body 12 and have rear portions 54 that extend through body 12 and have a connecting portion 56 which extends a short distance from rear end 44.
Curved portions 32 in upper row lead frames 18, 20, 22 and 24 enter into receiving ports 34 which are closer to front end 42 than curved portions 50 in lower row lead frames 19, 21 and 23 enter receiving ports 52, as may be observed with greater clarity in
Referring now to
Frame 24 is at an angle 60 with respect to the longitudinal axis of contact portion 26, but in the negative direction when compared to angle 58, so that frame 24 exits rear end 44 further away from frame 22. Preferably, angle 60 ranges from about 5 to about 10 degrees, and is more preferably about 7 degrees. The distance d3 between lead frame 24 and frame 22 at rear end 44 ranges from about 0.06 to about 0.3 inches, and more preferably is about 0.2 inches. The effect of angle 60 decreases the positive signal capacitance coupling by approximately 0.5 pF, and reduces the positive signal inductance coupling by approximately 1 nH. The separation of frames 22 and 24 aids in the re-balancing of the RJ45 plug effective reactance for noise reduction. Thus, noise is re-balanced by frames 18, 20, 22 and 24 inside insert 10 without the implementation of special wire contact forming bends.
Referring now to
Frame 21 is at an angle 64 with respect to the longitudinal axis of contact portion 26, but in the negative direction when compared to angle 62, so that frame 21 exits rear end 44 further away from frame 19. Preferably, angle 64 ranges from about 5 to about 10 degrees, and is more preferably about 7 degrees. The effect of angle 64 decreases the positive signal capacitance coupling by approximately 0.3 pF, and reduces the positive signal inductance coupling by approximately 0.7 nH. By offsetting frame 19 away from frame 21, the RJ45 plug effective reactance is re-balanced which reduces noise, among other things. Preferably, the distance d4 between frame 19 and frame 21 at rear end 44 ranges from about 0.06 to about 0.3 inches, and more preferably is about 0.2 inches. Preferably, the distance d5 between frames 21 and 23 ranges from about 0.06 inches to less than 0.04 inches. Thus, noise is also re-balanced by frames 19, 21, 23 and 25 inside body 12 of insert 10 without the implementation of special wire contact forming bends.
Typical "worst case" NEXT data for the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure is greater than −45 dB and FEXT is typically greater than −44.dB. The prior art, shown in
By reducing the parallelism of the lead frames at their contact portions and rear portions, lower capacitive and inductive coupling will occur as the frequency increases up to 250 MHz. The advantageous end result is an insert device that has lower NEXT, FEXT and impedance in certain wire pairs. The reduction of a majority of crosstalk noise occurs by combining indirect and direct signal coupling in the lead frames associated with central pairs 1 and 3, as well as the other pairs 2 and 4 in the RJ45 plug. Negative noise that was introduced is counter coupled with positive noise, thereby reducing the total noise effects and re-balancing the wire pairs output.
The additive positive noise and reduction of the unwanted negative noise coupling of the lead frame wires work at precisely the same moment in time, which allows optimal reduction for lower capacitive and inductive coupling. The combination of the split signals provides an enhanced low noise dielectric modular housing for high speed telecommunication connecting hardware systems, among other things. The advantageous end result is a modular insert device that has lower NEXT, FEXT and impedance within its wire pairs.
Thus, the present disclosure provides a system, device and method for reducing crosstalk noise without requiring new equipment or expensive re-wiring. The victim crosstalk noise is substantially eliminated by a combination of the appropriately placed positive feedback signal reactance circuitry and by utilizing a noise balancing dual reactance dielectric insert. This operation is accomplished by forming the appropriate contacts within the dual reactance dielectric insert for noise reduction. By using the dual reactance dielectric insert, the amount of unwanted signals can be induced to cancel that which was injected by the plug input, thus increasing the system's signal to noise ratio and reducing the network's bit error rate.
This method and system approach provides a more laboratory controlled product than other crosstalk reduction designs, which greatly improves design time, efficiency and cost. This method and system approach also provides a way to effectively remove crosstalk in a very small amount of printed circuit board space as compared to conventional crosstalk reduction designs.
Signal noise is re-balanced by the offsetting change in lead frame design, i.e., from a parallel to asymmetrical or almost perpendicular relationship between respective lead frames in the dielectric insert before the signal enters into the PCB. Exemplary devices in accordance with the present disclosure have a typical NEXT value of no greater than −46 dB and a FEXT value that is typically no greater than −50 dB. A standard modular insert typically exhibits a NEXT value of −37 dB and the FEXT is typically −40 dB. An insert device according to the present disclosure thus reduces the differential noise input voltage ratio signal by greater than fifty percent.
Although the disclosed systems, devices and methods have been described with respect to preferred embodiments, it is apparent that modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Oscar Romero is a Martyr: What's it to you?
people have identified Monseñor Romero as a martyr as a saint as a companion of Jesus Christ who gave his life for his friends In a theology class in college I was told the Church is a slow moving body Romero s case for sainthood is no doubt a slow moving process The Vatican announcement is another step toward recognizing the faith and witness that Oscar Romero bore and shared with the world especially the Salvadoran people Recalling my conversations with many Salvadorans over pupusas in the houses of university students and the humble homes of families in the campo it was unmistakably clear that Romero has been and continues to be someone from whom people draw their faith in the midst of a changing more secular world experience hope amid places ridden with oppression and violence and are capable of love even when hate seems to overwhelm the world Hearing the news of the Vatican announcement of Romero as a martyr of the Church reminded me of Ellacuría s words That God passed through El Salvador with Monseñor Romero My own faith journey which has led me to the Jesuits is in part due to my encounter of Monseñor Romero his life story and how his witness to a faith that does justice remains alive in so many people who have been touched by his example and his life SOURCE Embracing El Salvador Francisco Mena is the executive director of Christians for Peace in El Salvador CRISPAZ and has been connected to the Jesuits for over twenty five years For Salvadorans for many Salvadorans I truly believe this brings a tremendous sense of justice In a country that has had so much impunity over the decades this feels a lot like justice A justice that tastes nothing like vengeance or any type of feeling of that nature This is also taking into account that in these types of matters we have never known what justice feels like But I honestly think this is what justice should feel like His being declared a Saint has huge ramifications it is more than just about Monseñor Romero H e represents the thousands of lives taken before and during the armed conflict this represents justice for so many families Monseñor Romero accompanied It echoes all he denounced and makes it even more real if that makes any sense I can also tell you that there is a tremendous sense of jubilee that accompanies this sense of justice It truly is a sense where one feels at peace and is filled with so many emotions that make it difficult to put into words Katie Hart right with Amy Chapman at the Romero Center on the UCA campus during ISN s 25th anniversary delegation to El Salvador in July 2014 Katie Hart is a graduate of Creighton University and is currently in graduate studies at Saint Louis University Katie participated in ISN s 25th anniversary delegation to El Salvador in July 2014 As a young

Spanish Court Upholds Right to Investigate Jesuit Murders

Additionally on any given day over 70 000 juveniles are held in custody The United States is also the only country in the world to sentence youth to die in prison through life without parole sentences The Reality The incarceration rate in the United States has increased by over 500 in the past three decades The oft repeated statistic that the U S is home to 5 of the world s population and 25 of the world s prisoners gives us a sense of the magnitude of our country s incarceration problem Studies have shown that African Americans and whites use drugs at about the same rate yet African Americans are almost four times more likely to be arrested for possession or use People of color account for 30 of the total U S population yet make up nearly 60 of the prison population These stunning statistics reveal a deeply entrenched and racist orientation in the makeup of our justice system Policing in the United States relies disproportionately on the use of force often deadly force While no single official government database of individuals yet exists according to the Guardian s The Counted project this year alone nearly 760 people have been killed by police Unfortunately people of color are more likely to be killed by police than Whites A recent report by the Vera Institute of Justice shows that nearly seventy five percent of people held in America s jails are being held for non violent property drug or public order offenses The same report also reveals that women and men in jail are affected by mental illness at rates four to six times higher than the general population This year alone an estimated 630 000 men women and juveniles will re enter society after they serve their sentences in federal and state prisons An additional 9 million individuals will be released from local jails and detention centers Upon their release these men women and children will face additional difficulties often called collateral consequences Many employers refuse to hire individuals with criminal records A number of states strip formerly incarnated individuals of their right to vote These individuals are also barred from public assistance programs like SNAP TANF and public housing Our faith also teaches that all people are redeemable and possess inherent human dignity In their letter Responsibility Rehabilitation and Restoration A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice the U S Catholic Bishops wrote We are all sinners and our response to sin and failure should not be abandonment and despair but rather justice contrition reparation and return or re integration of all into the community Join The Response 1 Schedule In District Visits With Your Members of Congress Establishing and continuing relationships with your Senators and Representatives is crucial to advocating for justice As both representatives and members of your communities every Senator and Representative has an office often multiple offices in their home states Visits to these offices are an impactful way to speak neighbor

movement whose mission is to empower schools communities and universities to buy from companies whose products are created fairly and safely There are several fair trade organizations that offer verification of fair trade companies To achieve this distinction Loyola had to create a student committee conduct awareness campaigns to educate the school on how fair trade is involved in their everyday lives and offer products in the cafeteria and the bookstore that have been certified fair trade by organizations such as Fair Trade USA and Fairtrade International Products that conform to fair trade criteria give workers protections against exploitation as well as opportunities to break free from poverty Loyola s Fair Trade Committee began their mission to become fair trade certified last year by publicizing the issue during a week of displays and discussion in theology classes promoting fair trade awareness as well as an educational booth at the Earth Day Fair The committee encouraged students and teachers to buy products that are fair trade certified and to recognize that many popular companies are not The committee went beyond simple promotion and took action by offering fair trade products at the bookstore and cafeteria Not everything in the bookstore is fair trade but thanks to the support of the Loyola Store staff and the presence of signage indicating the option to choose fair trade apparel fair trade products such as the shirts from Alta Gracia have been flying off the shelves The committee hopes that in the future students will choose to only purchase fair trade products in the bookstore The certification further advances the school s Jesuit motto of being women and men for others By choosing fair trade products we help protect the environment and create opportunities for marginalized producers Facebook 22 Google 1 Linkedin 5 Twitter 28 Tags Alta Gracia Fair Trade Loyola Academy http ignatiansolidarity net wp content uploads 2015 12 fttcircle png 300 300 Guest Blogger http ignatiansolidarity net wp content uploads 2013 04 ISN Color Transparent Large png Guest Blogger 2015 12 14 10 12 47 2015 12 28 13 51 03 Loyola Academy Becomes First Jesuit Fair Trade High School You might also like Fair Trade Awareness Week at John Carroll University Saint Louis University High School Students Making Statement for Labor Rights Each Time They Hit The Hardwood Be A Part of Movement Bring Living Wage Apparel to the Ignatian Family Fair Trade USA Partners Release Report on Fair Trade Certified Apparel DC AREA Learn about Labor Rights Justice Number of Fair Trade Catholic Universities Growing Over 90 Jesuit High School Student Leaders Connect at Arrupe Leaders Summit Gonzaga Student Brings Living Wage Apparel to Campus 1 reply Trackbacks Pingbacks Saint Ignatius High School Becomes Fair Trade School Ignatian Solidarity Network says April 16 2016 at 8 39 am Trade School status from Fair Trade Campaigns earlier this week Saint Ignatius joined Loyola Academy in Wilmette Illinois which earned the status in December of 2015 Fair Trade Campaigns Reply Leave a Reply
