1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a utility access, such as a valve access. More particularly the present invention relates to an angle adjustable utility access and method for aligning a cover to sit flush with a surrounding surface.
2. Related Art
A utility access provides access to various underground equipment associated with various utilities. Examples of utilities include sewer pipelines or systems, electrical cables or systems, telephone cables or systems, natural gas lines or systems, gas or oil pipelines or systems, cable television lines or systems, water or drainage pipelines or systems, etc. Examples of equipment associated with the utilities include pipelines, cables, valves, meters, switches, storage, etc. The utility access can be large enough for a worker to physically pass therethough, such as a manhole, or can be smaller providing only visual access, such as for a meter, or providing only tool access, such as for a valve.
As an example, a valve box allows access to an underground valve. Such valve boxes usually have an adjustable length or height to accommodate valves at various depths. The valve boxes have a diameter sized to allow a tool to extend from the surface, through the valve box, and to the valve. Thus, such valve boxes are typically long and narrow. The opening of the valve box can be positioned in an area carrying traffic, such as a roadway. Thus, the valve box often must be strong enough to withstand various external loadings, for example the loading of vehicles moving over the valve box.
In one situation, road surfaces are often sloped to resist the accumulation of water on the road surface. It will be appreciated that it is often difficult to match the orientation of the valve box cover with the slope of the road.
It has been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a method and an apparatus for installing an adjustable utility access or an adjustable valve box.
The invention provides a utility access device to extend access from a ground surface to a utility includes a pair of telescoping, elongated upper and lower sleeves that together have upper and lower ends. The sleeves are displacable with respect to one another so that the sleeves together have an adjustable length between the upper and lower ends. The lower sleeve can include an enlarged portion to extend over and along side a utility. The upper sleeve can include an inclined upper edge having an angle with respect to horizontal greater than 0 degrees.
An angled ring is rotatably disposed on the inclined upper edge of the upper sleeve. The angled ring has upper and lower opposite edges forming an angle therebetween greater than 0 degrees. The ring is rotatable with respect to the upper sleeve to vary the angle of a cover removably disposed on the angled ring.
A method for adjusting a utility access to a utility with respect to a ground surface includes positioning the utility access in a hole extending from the ground surface to the utility. An enlarged bottom end of the utility access can be disposed over and along side the utility. An upper sleeve of the utility access can be displaced with respect to a lower sleeve of the utility access so that the utility access extends between the utility and the ground surface. An angled ring is rotated on an inclined upper edge of the upper sleeve until a top of the ring is substantially parallel with the ground surface.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description which follows, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which together illustrate, by way of example, features of the invention.
Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein, and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
As illustrated in
The utility access 10 can include a pair of telescoping, elongated sleeves, tubes or pipes, including an upper sleeve 14 and a lower sleeve 16, forming a hollow interior. The upper and lower sleeves 14 and 16 can together have an upper end 20 and a lower end 22, and can be telescopically coupled or engaged so that the overall length of the sleeves or device can be selectively adjusted. The lower sleeve 16 or lower end 22 can be disposed adjacent or immediately above the utility 6, while the upper sleeve 14 or upper end 20 can be disposed adjacent the surface 4.
The lower sleeve 16 can have an enlarged lower end 26 that can be enlarged to fit over and along side the utility 6. Thus, the lower end 26 can have a bell shape to fit over and around, or partially around, a valve, switch, meter, etc. Openings can be formed in sides of the enlarged end to accommodate pipes, lines, wires, etc. The lower sleeve 16 can be slidably received within the upper sleeve 14 so that the upper sleeve overlaps the lower sleeve to resist dirt or fill from entering between the sleeves or into the hollow interior.
The upper sleeve 14 can include a socket 30. The socket 30 can include a flange or shoulder 34 circumscribing and extending laterally or radially outwardly from the sleeve, and a collar 36 circumscribing the shoulder 34 and extending longitudinal therefrom. In addition, the upper sleeve 14 advantageously includes an inclined upper edge 30 a or 30 b that is inclined with respect to horizontal (an angle greater than 0). In one aspect, the inclined angle can be greater than 0, and less than 10 degrees. The inclined upper edge 30 a can be at, or formed by, an upper edge of the collar 36. Thus, the collar 36 can have a longitudinal axis that traverses the longitudinal axis of the sleeve (forming an angle greater than 0, and less than 10 degrees). Alternatively, the upper edge 30 b can be at, or formed by, the shoulder 34.
An angled ring 40 is rotatably disposed on the inclined upper edge 30 a or b of the upper sleeve 14. The 5angled ring 40 has opposite upper and lower edges 44 and 46 a or b that are inclined with respect to one another, or which form an angle greater than 0 with respect to one another. In one aspect, the upper and lower edges 44 and 46 a or b can form an angle greater than 0 and less than 10 degrees. The angled ring 40 can include a flange 50 that circumscribes the ring and extending laterally or radially outwardly therefrom, and that is disposed on the angled upper edge 30 a of the upper sleeve 14. Thus, the flange 50 can form the lower edge 46 a. In addition, the angled ring 40 can include a protrusion 52 that extends longitudinally from the ring and into the socket 30 on the upper sleeve 14. The protrusion 52 can maintain the ring 40 on the sleeve 14. The protrusion 50 can be disposed on the angled upper edge 30 b of the shoulder 34. Thus, the protrusion 50 can form the lower edge 46 b.
It will be appreciated that the angled ring 40 can be selectively rotated on the angled upper edge 30 a or b of the upper sleeve 14 to selectively adjust the angle of the ring 40, and thus the cover 12. The ring 40 and edge 30 a or b can have a horizontal or level orientation in which the cover 12 is substantially horizontally, as shown in FIG. 2. The ring 40 can be rotated to an angled orientation in which the cover 12 forms an angle or incline, as shown in FIG. 1. It will be appreciated that further rotation further increases the incline of the cover 12 to match the surface 4. In one aspect, the ring can be rotated to form an angle or incline up to 20 degrees.
As described above, the upper and lower sleeves 14 and 16 can be adjusted relative to one another to adjust the overall length or height of the device 10. In one aspect, the upper and lower sleeves 14 and 16 can be longitudinally slidable with respect to one another, such as with the lower sleeve 16 slidably received in the upper sleeve 14. A flange 60 can substantially circumscribe a lower end of the upper sleeve 14, and can extend laterally or radially outwardly to engage the fill 8 surrounding the sleeves to resist movement of the upper sleeve.
A method for using the device 10 described above includes positioning the utility access device in a hole extending from the surface 4 to the utility 6. The enlarged portion 26 or lower end 22 of the lower sleeve 16 can be disposed over the utility 6. The upper sleeve 14 can be displaced, by sliding or turning as described above, with respect to the lower sleeve 16 to adjust the height of the device 10, and so that the device 10 extends near the surface 4. It will be appreciated that the height of the device 10 can be adjusted prior to placement in the hole. The angled ring 40 can be rotated on the angled upper edge 30 a or b of the upper sleeve 14 until the top of the ring or cover 12 is substantially parallel with or matches the angle of the surface 4. It will be appreciated that the device 10, or upper sleeve 14, can be rotated to properly orient the cover 12 with the surface 4.
Referring to
In another aspect, screw threads 66 can be formed on an inner surface of the upper sleeve 14 b, and screw threads 68 can be formed on an outer surface of the lower sleeve 16. The screw threads 66 and 68 can operatively intermesh or engage so that relative rotation between the sleeves 14 b and 16 adjusts the height of the device 10. It is of course understood that either of the screw threads 66 or 68 can include only partial screw threads, as is known in the art.
The device 10 or 10 b can include a coupling for holding the lid 12 onto the angled ring 40 or sleeve 14, such as a bolt that extends through the cover to a nut on the ring or sleeve, a rotatable lever pivotally disposed on the lid to engage the ring or sleeve, etc.
The device also can include means for resisting rotation between the ring 40 and the sleeve 14, including for example, a setscrew, etc.
The device 10 or 10 b, or sleeves 14 and 16, rings 40 and 80, and cover 12 can be formed from cast iron.
Various aspects of adjustable utility access devices are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,457,901, issued Oct. 1, 2002, and filed Sep. 1, 2002; U.S. Pat. No. 6,520,713, issued Feb. 18, 2003, and filed Mar. 22, 2001; U.S. Pat. No. 6,524,026, issued Feb. 25, 2003, and filed Mar. 22, 2001; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/262,560, filed Sep. 30, 2002; which are herein incorporated by reference.
It is to be understood that the above-referenced arrangements are illustrative of the application for the principles of the present invention. Numerous modifications and alternative arrangements can be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention while the present invention has been shown in the drawings and described above in connection with the exemplary embodiments(s) of the invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications can be made without departing from the principles and concepts of the invention as set forth in the claims.

P7700 waterfall with ND filter - anyway to fix?
Jan 31, 2014
This was my first try with the ND filter.
I like the way it came out but the top part of the waterfall is obviously blown.
My understanding is that when something is blown out like this, that there is no way to get details back.
Can anything be done at all to salvage the image?

Any increase in funding will lead to more spending, and schools will go back to
being broke, and wanting more. No matter how much you have,--you always need
With a management overhaul:
* class sizes would decrease
* teacher pay will increase
* students will be better educated
The road block is with politics.

Time to stop rewarding those who are not paying their fair share. No more decuctions for families with more than 2 kids. If you want large families that's your choice but don't expect society to pay for it.

Utahans have believed in families and that education is the way for the
children's future. Utah has had and still has a family friendly
environment and public school and higher education has been a desire and will of
the people who live here. Brigham Young, the political and religious leader for
years espoused the need for skills, mentally and physically, as he moved to help
develop the west from Mexico to Canada throughout the western states. The State
of Utah has a tough balance to make every legislative session.
Hopefully, by Thursday night, they will continue that move toward funding for education in light of the budgetary process and fiduciary responsibilities they have. Education was an emphasis for our grandparents as they moved to locations to make that possible, if needed. Working long hours to get money for tuition and books was in their minds, hearts, and souls. Going to Universities in other states to get a PhD and a degree beyond their local Utah Universities was almost a need for some fields of study. That meant sacrifices for the families. Sacrifice is still a part of many people, today. Subverting public education is not what we need.

Hmm? Is it funding, or mis-management?

"Worf", I see that you are from Mcallen, TX, so why are your concerned about Utah schools. Texas spends $1500 or more per student than Utah so it seems the waste in educational spending is in Texas. Utah already spends the least amount per student in the nation meaning it's the most efficient in its use of funds. Utah teachers are thankful for the investment, small as it is, because it allows them to at least keep up with inflation. I know teachers here care about their students and the money will be invested to improved education in Utah. I'm thankful the legislature did what they did. They know they have to invest in public education to improve Utah Schools to be world class.

If you look at historical graphs that compare the amount of spending on
education and the testing results by year... there is absolutely NO
Spending has never been greater, yet our test scores either stay the same or go down. I'm getting frustrated just thinking about it.
Why is money or a new government program that will cost money the only solutions ever proposed or offered?
Why? Because it shows that the politicians at least did "something."
Don't even get me started on teachers unions... don't do it!

Catholic Replies
Q. I understand that plenary indulgences are available during this Jubilee Year of Mercy if one passes through the "Holy Door of Mercy" in a Catholic cathedral and meets all the other conditions for an indulgence. But what if one has no opportunity to visit a cathedral? Can the plenary indulgence still be obtained? — P.D., via e-mail. A. Yes. First of all, indulgences are always available to Catholics regardless of whether it's a year of mercy or not. In the Manual of Indulgences issued in 2006, there are listed dozens of prayers, devotions, and good works that can obtain indulgences. These include adoration of the cross on Good Friday, teaching or studying Christian doctrine, attending a spiritual retreat of…Continue Reading

Blog: Craft distillers of the world unite...
James Wilmore | 16 April 2013
Craft distillers are getting evermore serious and getting together.
Trade groups exclusively representing craft producers' interests exist both sides of the Atlantic, with a new body having just popped up.
The American Craft Distillers Association has been formed this month to "promote and protect craft distilling in the United States", Modern Distillery Age reported in its latest issue. This is in addition to the American Distilling Institute, which has already existed for ten years, and claims to be the voice of "artisan distilling".
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Craft Distillers' Alliance has just appointed a chairman - Stephen Davies, MD of Welsh whisky distillery Penderyn. The group was set-up last year by whisk(e)y writer Dominic Roskrow and already numbers around 30 members.
We'll just have to see if any finger-pointing crops up over what constitutes a "craft" product, as is the case in the brewing world right now.

PARIS (AFP) - Fabio Capello has insisted that his bid to revive England remains on track, despite seeing his new charges comprehensively outclassed by a far from full strength France side. Franck Ribery's first-half penalty ensured David Beckham's 100th appearance for England ended in a 1-0 defeat at the Stade de France, but the narrow margin of victory disguised France's comfortable superiority and the fact that better finishing could have delivered a far more convincing win. Capello however found grounds for optimism after his second game in charge, which followed a 2-1 win over Switzerland last month. "As I told the players after the match, I'm happy with what they did. We made progress compared to the Switzerland game, even though we won that game. "Against a top level team, the players showed what they are worth. They showed me that they didn't want to lose and kept fighting right to the end. That was the most positive thing about the night, especially considering the quality of the opposition." Capello also claimed that, having switched from a 3-2-3-1 formation to a more conventional 4-4-2 at half-time, he was "a lot clearer" about how England's future direction. Beckham appears to have a role to play in that after Capello declared himself satisfied with the midfielder's contribution, which ended with a generous ovation from the entire stadium as he departed just after the hour mark. "He played like I know he can play," was the Italian's verdict. "I only subbed him because I wanted to see other players and I know well what David can do." Beckham believes he has proved his critics wrong once more, although a booking for pulling the shirt of Florent Malouda did provide ammunition for those who have suggested he no longer has the legs for international football. "Just to get the cap in the end was what I wanted, to start was a bonus," said Beckham. "I am very stubborn and things can change but I want to carry on playing for my country for many years. I proved my fitness and we (LA Galaxy) are not into our season yet. I felt a lot better tonight, I felt sharp and fresh." A couple of 50-yard crossfield passes in particular demonstrated that, as he nears his 33rd birthday, the delivery from Beckham's right boot remains as reliable as ever. But from the moment Nicolas Anelka sent a tenth-minute header from a Ribery freekick skidding past the post, France displayed a vastly superior cutting edge, and their coach, Raymond Domenech, declared himself satisfied with what he described as an important test for his players in the build-up to Euro 2008. "It was a match that was more intelligent than spectacular, but that is what we needed," Domenech said. "We could have done better in attacking terms but the Euro is two months away and we have a solid base to work with. "In the second half we had moments when we lost the ball too quickly or passes went astray which meant we did not make the most of the chances we had to launch counter attacks. "But it is always better to win than to lose and we had the chances to have scored more goals." The decisive penalty came just after half an hour thanks to right-back Francois Clerc's clever pass into the space between England's centrebacks and goalkeeper David James. Anelka's reactions were quicker than any of the England defenders and his pace over the ground was too great for James, whose late dive swept the striker's legs from under him. German referee Florian Meyer spared James the red card that would have been automatic in a competitive fixture but there was no mercy from Ribery, who sent James the wrong way from the spot. Malouda, Ribery and substitute Djibril Cisse might all have added to France's score but, with England having generated only a couple of half-chances in the entire match, they never looked like needing an additional cushion.

[/quote] But isn't the mother responsible for the welfare of her own small children? [/quote] You know most societies families neighbors help each other out. No one can do everything completely on their own. What is wrong with you? How dare you judge someone you don't even know. Did you raise yourself and never need assistance or did you have a community helping you along, even invisibley it happens every day and it gives delight to all concerned. [/quote] Chill out with your histrionics there . . . If you actually took time to read my first post, you would see that I acknowledge that the gov SHOULD be evacuating everyone with a certain radius of the sinkhole. But this girl is the mother of two very small children and it is HER responsibility to insure their safety. She and her mother acknowledge that there were problems 9 years ago . . . and yet she brings two babies into that environment. Now if she or someone who knows her wants to contradict that legitimately, they can do so. Otherwise, my interpretation of this is valid. Hell yeah I can judge . . . because every irresponsible, reckless person in this country is part of the whole of this society and when they screw up, a little bit of society is screwed up. And I don't know where people like you get the idea that it's perfectly acceptable for people to AUTOMATICALLY depend on their family and neighbors . . . perhaps if people were stronger and more determined to be self-sufficient, this society wouldn't be comprised of so many apathetic jackasses just wanting a handout and EXPECTING others to do their work and get them out of messes when THEY are perfectly capable of doing so or could have not been in the mess in the first place if they'd used better judgment. There ARE those who work hard, act responsibly and are decent, genuinely good people who may need a helping hand in one way or another and THEY are the ones we should be willing to help. And may I add this - WHERE is the father (or fathers) in this story? Uh-huh. [/quote]
Original Message
I understand that not everyone can just pick up and move from their homes, even when there are concerning conditions in or near their area.
Hell, every person in America is being exposed to something from one source or another.
But this story about this particular mother and her two children makes you wonder.
It says a methane leak caused a fire in their yard in 2003, nine years ago . . . so they knew the area was unsafe to some degree.
Yet, she has a 2 and 6 year old . . . children she knowingly brought into that same environment she knew was contaminated and dangerous BEFORE she even got pregnant.
And now they're experiencing very serious symptoms and smelling several different odors but she says they cannot evacuate . . . and she wants gov assistance to be able to leave.
If you have small children and they are definitely sick and experiencing such constant and bad symptoms and you know that there is methane and whatever else being emitted into the air, beyond any doubt, shouldn't you find a way to get out - and then try to get compensation afterward?
I don't understand why the gov has not ordered mandatory evacuation for a wide radius of that entire area in LA, but I also don't understand how ANY mother could allow her small children to continue to be so obviously sick, knowing full well what's causing it, and not get them out of there.

Planting cover crops in fall could feed, weed plot for next year
For all practical purposes, we are coming to the end of the gardening season. The plants will go on until there is a killing frost, but we are losing so much heat and daylight now that the chances of getting much riper are waning. It's time for fall cleanup.
Pulling out the spent plants is going to leave a lot of bare soil exposed to erosion, nutrient loss and invasions from enterprising weeds over the winter. An easy way to reduce all three of these issues is to plant cover crops in any of your bare vegetable beds.
Cover crops are a seed or seeds planted after the main crop is harvested and intentionally plowed under or cut down before the next crop is planted in the spring. Another name for this is green manure cropping.
Farmers use cover crops as a way to add organic matter and nutrients back into the soil and to shade out any weeds that pop up. An added benefit to covering the soil is the reduction of soil erosion by wind and water. We've all seen how hard it can rain and blow here, and a lot of that moving soil ends up in our streams and lakes.
Now is a good time to plant cover crops in your gardens. We've had some good rains to replenish the soil moisture and the soil will be warm enough to germinate seed for another month to six weeks.
To prepare your beds, remove spent plants and rake or till the soil smooth. Using a hand-crank fertilizer spreader set for the proper seed size, go over your plot twice at 90-degree angles. This spreads the seed evenly. Lightly rake the seed in and then tamp it with a rake or lawn roller and water lightly. Water lightly for a few weeks if we don't get any rain. The crop should emerge within a couple of weeks.
Crops typically used for cover crops include cereal rye and other grains, clovers, vetch, mustards, Austrian field peas and blends of these. Grains are used to add organic material to the soil, while clovers, vetch and field peas, all legumes, will also fix nitrogen in the soil. By some measures they add enough nitrogen to the soil to replace one application later. Mustards add organic matter and, with several years of use, possibly inhibit weeds.
One challenge in our area is that a lot of cover crops will be killed in an average winter here. The killed residue, however, will continue to provide soil protection through the winter and the dead material will add organic material and nutrients when it's turned under in the spring.
One of the best cover crop mixes for our area is a combination of cereal rye and Austrian field peas. In a mild winter with some snow cover, they are likely to survive and will continue growing in the spring until they are turned under. If they are killed, they still leave the ground covered.

The mikans used in this brew are fresh, succulent, and local -- harvested on the Heda land and by the hand of our carpenter friend, Nagakura-san. The Baird brewers hand-process the harvested mikans, shaving off the outer skin of the peel and pressing the juice. Both peel shavings and juice are added to the brew at different stages of production. The mikans serve to add depth and complexity to an already sumptious ale; their role is to complement, not dominate. In addition to mikans, the 2009 Carpenters Mikan Ale incorporates a grain bill including Maris Otter pale ale malt, wheat malt, unmalted wheat and two types of Japanese sugar (sudakito and akato). The hopping schedule features cirtrusy Centennial and Cascade varieties including dry-hop additions to the conditioning tank. The combination of mikans and citrus hops provide an exquisitely complex yet balanced fruit character. The wonderful aromatics of this character waft gorgeously from the billowy white head that forms in the glass. Final transport to beer Nirvana comes courtesy of the tight and spritzy natural carbonation that works to keep you tastebuds fresh and alert.

Care gets around.
Some "Angel Donors" in Hood River put that feeling on four wheels with the donation of new mobility equipment for Hood River County School District special needs students.
Power Pumpers, nifty black-and-red four-wheel vehicles, are now under control of students at schools in the district. The donors in this case are Rotary Club and Foundation, and Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, which put up the $2,000 for the person-powered Pumpers. Please see Features: 'Power in Pumpers' for details.
The gift of the Power Pumpers is a prime example of community partnerships in action. Kudos to the two groups for seeing the need and responding.
To date, the Oregon City-based Mobility Foundation, which manufactures the pumpers, has delivered 60 of the vehicles to various clinics or specific special needs kids, utilizing the volunteer Angel Donor program. In the words of founder Mike Jones, "It is such a simple thing: Being able to move from one point to another, without having to have someone carry you or push you. Our goal is to help these special children help themselves to do exactly that."
The pumpers will serve the schools in practical ways; special needs children are like any other youngster in that their needs and challenges change over time, and new tools and experiences help them develop.
Kelly Beard said it all. "We're always looking for new and innovative ways to keep students interested in progression of their mobility and gross motor skills," said Beard, district special education coordinator.
"It keeps the kids interested and motivated in doing it. It's just fantastic we have equipment of our own. It's always fantastic to see community agencies and partners come together to provide a donation like this for our kids."

As an experienced director of photography, John Dunn has used practically every film and video format available to shoot everything from TV commercials to high-end corporate productions. Recently, however, Dunn had the opportunity to use Canon's new XL H1 HDV camcorder while shooting "The Watchmaker".
For Dunn, who works for ADM Productions, a full-service corporate communications facility in Port Washington, NY, the XL H1 is nothing less than the camera of the future.
Hired to produce a marketing video for Canon, Dunn shot the piece with the XL H1 to show off its capabilities. For the project, an imaginary behind-the scenes documentary was shot in 24-frame HD. Dunn relied on two XL H1 cameras: one shot watchmaker, the other documented the film crew shooting him.
Filmed on location in rural Narrowsburg, NY, and at ADM's sound stages near New York City, "The Watchmaker" serves as a visual showcase for the camera's image-making capabilities. Beginning with early-morning scenes of the watchmaker bicycling to work along country roads, the piece progressed to show detailed macro photography of disassembled timepieces being repaired.
Dunn shot handheld from the back of camera trucks and hung out of car sunroofs to capture outdoor beauty shots of the watchmaker riding his bike.
Dunn found the XL H1 to be flexible and has used it since shooting "The Watchmaker" at an SD corporate assignment in Detroit and an HD project in California. According to Dunn, skipping back and forth between formats is seamless and has proven to be a great advantage.

Not familiar with Spark Camp? It's a series of weekend gatherings involving the future of media, featuring intimate conversations, idea development, and problem-solving, and focused on a specific theme. (We at the Nieman Foundation hosted a Spark Camp on the subject of money this summer.) Here's how they describe themselves:
About 60 invitees attend Camp. Once confirmed, Campers soon realize that they're each uniquely connected to everyone assembled, whether it's through a shared hobby, or favorite book or even a past workplace. By deeply connecting our Campers not just professionally but on a number of different levels, long-lasting relationships are catalyzed. Spark Camps have focused on "data," "money," and "real-time information," and are highly creative gatherings that further innovation and spark practical solutions to the challenges the media and technology industries face.
Spark Camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2011 by Amy Webb, Amanda Michel, Jenny 8. Lee, Matt Thompson, and Andrew Pergam, who believe that journalists can find ideas and inspiration from outside their industry. They argue that ideas are meant to be challenged, and that a diversity of approaches and people makes for the best kind of conversation.
Over the rest of this week, we'll be bringing you the thoughts of Spark Camp alumni on the most important ideas in journalism this year. First up are:
— Matt Thompson, Spark Camp co-founder and manager of digital initiatives at NPR. Matt is also an adjunct faculty member at the Poynter Institute and a board member at the Center for Public Integrity.
— Greg Linch, special projects producer at The Washington Post. Prior to the Post, he was news innovation manager at Publish2.
— Glynnis MacNicol, co-founder of TheLi.st and the former media editor at Business insider. Prior to that, she was a founding editor of Mediaite.com.
So, according to the script Robin Sloan and I wrote for EPIC 2014, it was right between 2010 and 2011 that the digital behemoth Googlezon started mining facts from various data sources and algorithmically recombining them into news stories. As if on cue, Narrative Science was founded in 2010. According to Wired, the company's fact-mining robotic algo-writers produced 400,000 accounts of Little League games last year and was on track to produce another 1.5 million or so this year. The company's blog for Forbes is just about as compelling as any collection of company earnings previews I've ever read (i.e. not at all).
As everyone who's covered the company has noted, Little League game briefs and earnings previews are just an appetizers for the feast of personal/local/sensor-driven/etc. data that's starting to stuff our lives. After I give Narrative Science or its ilk access to my Nest thermostat or my Withings scale (I don't have either of those things; just riffing here), I imagine I'll find its competent but unimaginative monthly reports pretty interesting. Have them hire one of the politi-quants (Nate Silver, Sam Wang, Drew Linzer, etc.), and you've got yourself a competent-but-unimaginative FiveThirtyEight for every local congressional election. ("There aren't enough polls in the field to be too confident this far out, but both the history of this district and other local polling trends suggest that Byron McGillicuddy is the candidate to beat in HR 7.")
Again, it's not like we didn't see this coming, but now it's officially here. I'm really curious how much this phenomenon is going to touch the life of your average media consumer. If we can get this company to robo-write Tom Friedman columns (Narrative Science, now with patented MetaphorMix™ technology!), it will already have changed the world.
One big idea: George Dyson's thesis about a universe of self-replicating code, as described in his book Turing's Cathedral. Reading this book roughly a year after James Gleick's The Information helped connect and expand some key concepts in my mind. Specifically, in thinking about the shared fundamentals of memes, genes and code — along with the concept self-replicating automata. One key idea, as Dyson says in his Edge interview: "What's, in a way, missing in today's world is more biology of the Internet."
The book also reframed in my mind the technology behind search engines and social networks as distinctly analog. As Dyson writes: "These computational structures use digital components, but the analog computing being performed by the system as a whole exceeds the complexity of the digital code on which it runs."
One concept from something that came up at Spark Camp Data in Austin in the context of statistics: the idea of measuring uncertainty is utterly fascinating. How much better would our measures of journalism be with quantified uncertainty in the mix?
An over-hyped idea from 2012 was "digital" — namely, the idea of "digital first." Despite how correct it is on its face, we really need to first think of who/what our journalism is for, why we're doing it, and then where and how we'll publish, engage, etc. At the risk of proposing a motto in the cliché "X first" name/slogan vein, we should really be "people first."
Included in this is mobile. Yes, mobile is already huge and growing enormously. This is exciting and an area news needs to pursue aggressively and be up to speed or — ideally — ahead of the pack on. There are myriad possibilities. But, instead of getting locked into another platform focus, we need to consider broader uses and the roles journalism fills, as Clay Christensen, David Skok, and James Allworth wrote in "Breaking News" and — months before that — [Spark Camp alumnus] Stijn Debrouwere articulated so well in his "Fungible" post. We also need to think about what comes after mobile. What's next? We must always first think about the purposes and roles we want to fulfill, then think about the products and presentation. Whether that's a tablet, phone, Google Glass, retinal implant, or neuronal transmitter, we should take the long view.
In 2012, the idea of individual privacy, and how we define that in the Facebook age — a subject we discussed at Spark Camp Money — has really stuck with me. The conclusion, and I think it will prove out, is that instead of attempting to erase one's digital footprint online (an increasingly impossible task) we will begin to create two distinct, but equally important identities: the IRL person and the online person. In this future, the latter would not attempt to suppress information so much as promote the sort of info we'd prefer to have out there about ourselves.
In 2013, I'll wonder:
|Spain's Eldiario.es has 18,000 paying members, and its eye on the next several million
"We have a potential of six million readers. You may not convince all six million people to be your socios, but if you learn more about their interests, you can get closer."
|The Washington Post is testing out a few new hurdles for non-paying online readers
The Post is now asking readers to submit their email in order to read stories without paying.
|This new collaboration hopes to aid the endless debates about media with some actual hard data
"For a long time, I've wanted to try to put more data and quantitative analysis behind some of the claims and questions we ask around underrepresented and misrepresented stories in online spaces."

Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by Muskoka2: Whoops
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Easy embarkment and disembarkation.
Excellent staff overall.
Lots of fun things to do day and evening.
Food was fine. The French restaurant was excellent. Enjoyed the shows.
Did not like the adult only area. Space was taken up by a stadium type layout barely leaving room for sunbathing and I think I saw a pool but nearly too small to notice. Spent time in the general swim area. Again very small pools but it was still fine. The children were well behaved and nice to see them have fun.
No place to walk outside and had to sit on the cabin's balcony to see the ocean unless in some restaurants. Followed Disney Magic and she was so colourful at night.
We are all aware of the hard sell in the jewellery stores. The lucky draw of a yellow emerald was sad. Guess the weight of the stone. I did guess correctly however all who guessed within a certain range had a chance to win. Not just the people who were right on.We never did find out the More winners weight guess of the stone.
A drink was spilled in Bliss and we were charged for the spilled drink and the replacement. Maybe that is the routine. Bliss was an excellent way to spend a few hours though.
The ports I understand were good. Nice beach at St. Thomas and St. Martins. I will go into this more later.
It was interesting to note as each evening came the people dressed up more until it was almost formal. Not sure how that happened. Overall people wore what they were comfortable in.
Now the negative part and it is negative. The cabins...whoops. Who in the marketing, design, owners and shareholders offices ever thought this up.
Enter: itty bitty toilet enclosure on one side and the itty bitty shower on the opposite. A curtain can be drawn across this area cutting off the sink but magically leaving the person after the shower standing in an itty bitty area between the toilet and the shower... are you ready? The main door at their back...I could just imagine the second person coming to the cabin and could not enter as the person was standing right there trying to dry off and dress.
Why would a designer think a couch with a bend in the middle served any useful function? The cabins should be named the Flintstones Caves. Beds were rocks. Separation between the two beds was about 4-5 inches. That is far too cozy even for people who know each other well. They had no foam pads to soften the beds only dead no give duvets. Hard pillows and the covers were too hot. I missed the St. Thomas beach as I was too sore from the bed to go. No drinking water in the cabin. We could barely hear the announcements. Need card in slot to turn the lights on. Tip: Leave card in slot at night to keep bathroom light on.
I did hear the people in the solo cabins seemed to be content but the cabins were very small. They could only view the ocean from restaurants and from the swimming area.
I hope the Norwegian cruise line people never design another ship with these cabins.
Overall the ship was easy to get around....but oh those cabins...no no..so bad I will never go on the Epic again.
I know the staff works long periods of time. One waiter told us he works 8 months with little if any time off and then goes home for several months...8 months, shift after shift and they can still smile....
They deserve good beds. Less
