How 'The Voice' Uses Twitter to Raise Ratings
With a Web staff of 10 constantly updating 110 Web pages about the hosts and contestants, the NBC hit is closing in on "Glee" with user engagement.
The Hollywood Reporter: When The Voice held its first press conference in March, coach Christina Aguilera had yet to sign up for Twitter. Were all the participants prepped for the amount of online activity that was expected of them?
Nicolle Yaron (The Voice): In the beginning there were people who had never been on Twitter before, but once we explained the possibilities and what these working musicians could do with these tools that we were giving them, they were all more than happy to get onboard. And with the artists getting unprecedented access to their coaches, which are some of the biggest names in music, we wanted to mirror the experience for the viewer at home. That's why it's important to us that the coaches are actively involved and it's why Christina joined Twitter for this show. We wanted the viewer to have a fraction of what the artist was getting.
We also wanted the [contestants] to know what it's like to be a real artist out there and, in this day and age, part of that is to market yourself through social media online. We didn't want to sequester the artists -- they're blogging, Facebooking, tweeting every day, they're sharing pictures and videos, they're doing fake talk shows in the hotel room. They're getting out there, actively engaging and empowering their fans to give feedback on what they should perform, what they should wear, and getting them to vote, which is really important in order for them to stay in the competition, and to buy their songs on iTunes.
Sjoerd Demaret (Talpa): We asked them, "Do you want to be part of the social media?" And we've seen how it benefited the coaches. Christina went into the first show with 20,000 followers, and I think she has more than 250,000 right now. But you can't force somebody to use Twitter, so we'd say, "It would be nice if you could help us out." We don't demand that they start tweeting. Still, everybody sees it's a win-win situation. It's good for the show and it's good for the coach, who can use the fan base not only for The Voice, but also to promote their own stuff.
THR: How do you classify The Voice's relationship with Facebook and Twitter, is it a partnership?
Chloe Sladden (Twitter): We work with lots of TV programming executives, marketers and creative talent, etc., but I would definitely call The Voice one of our partners. We define partnership as any time we invest ideas or support our colleagues in the industry. Our goal is to integrate the best possible content on twitter and drive the size of the audience and engagement.
Demaret: In Holland, we didn't have a partnership because it was a brand new brand. Nobody knew about The Voice. But given the fact we were quite successful in the Netherlands and in the U.S. as well, now I'm in contact with Twitter and Facebook to see if we can team up and come up with even better applications to make the show more attractive. I always say, keep it stupid simple. And of course, Facebook and Twitter also have pretty clever ideas of how we could add an extra element to the show. So currently, we're exploring all of the possibilities to use during season two in the Netherlands, which still is more or less a pilot country from which we take the best practices to other territories.
THR: What's in The Voice digital "bible?"
Demaret: It's sort of a guideline for the show. It focuses on the program's website, social media, starting the buzz around The Voice... We describe every step in the process and the philosophy behind the show. But we're just explaining. Talpa isn't demanding anything from the other countries [who license the format].
Yaron: It basically had a lot of screen grabs of what they did on the show and it gave a kind of wire frame of how their website was set up with some suggestions on how they did things. Certain things we took with us and some things we didn't, but for the most part, we did stay pretty true to the Dutch format of the show and the same with the digital format, we just expanded it and grew it exponentially. We're also dealing with a country that's 100 times the size of the Netherlands and three different time zones.
THR: American Idol had initially resisted social media in that contestants weren't allowed to have active Myspace pages or Twitter accounts. Their reasoning involved the issue of fairness: if one contestant has significantly more followers than another, viewers might feel that he/she had it in the bag and be discouraged from voting for a lesser contestant. How does The Voice see it?
Demaret: I always compare it to elections: you know the polls, you know what's going on, which parties are preferred, but in the end, it's a personal opinion. I also think the viewers really appreciate the fact that we make them part of the format. People know we are monitoring everything that's being [said on social networks], so they are heard.
Yaron: We felt the fairness issue was covered by the fact that we are giving them all the same tools. All of the artists have a blog on NBC.com, all have a Facebook page and a Twitter page and they all have had training on how to use all these things. They have the same access. What they choose to do with it is up to them, and that's how we feel like that's fair. It mirrors the music industry. If you choose to use Twitter and be Lady Gaga and have 10 million followers, good for you, you'll sell more albums. And if you don't, then that's your choice. It depends on what kind of artist you want to be. We've really been trying to keep this show very authentic and in social media as well.
THR: According to Twitter's own data, up until the week of June 7, when The Voice first went live, some 2.6 million tweets went out about the show. During the live show on June 7, some 200,000 tweets were registered. Is this sort of rippled resonance the future of television? Should every network and showrunner be paying close attention?
Sladden: Social media integration is an absolute necessity that will only get more and more important. We are going to live in a world where there will be two ways to experience TV: on your own schedule or with real-time engagement. I think Twitter is helping return us to that shared viewing experience. It's bringing all that richness out of the platform.
Yaron: Active viewer engagement in our show is exactly what our goal was in developing the entire digital strategy. We want the viewers to be as engaged in the show as our coaches are with their artists, and our artists are with their coaches and the show. This is a show about access. It's about empowerment. It's about feedback. And all of those things are what social media is about. It's a perfect fit.

5/13/15 Tiger Cheating Scandal
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, May 13, 2015
It's shocking that this rumor took more than a week to get going, but here it is: TIGER WOODS and LINDSEY VONN may have broken up over Tiger's CHEATING. So far, the only "proof" we have is a source talking to the British tabloids. This source says Tiger had a one-night stand after he was eliminated from the Farmers Insurance Open in February. He actually CONFESSED to Lindsey, but obviously that didn't win him any points. The source says, quote, "It wasn't with anyone special. He really wanted Lindsey to be the one. But he blew it again. He can't help himself. He's got an addiction. He relapsed."
For a guy who spent most of a half-century avoiding being tied down, GEORGE CLOONEY is, well, pretty tied down now. In a new interview, he says he and his wife AMAL make sure they never spend more than a week apart. He also says that so far, quote, "we don't disagree on many things." But he adds, quote, "She's smarter than me, [so] the only way we resolve anything is by arm wrestling. That is my only chance of winning anything with her because if it's an intellectual battle, I would lose. She's the smart one in the family."
Hey, JUSTIN BIEBER is single . . . and he's supposedly not a jerk anymore. So if you'd like to hook up with him, you need to know exactly what he's looking for. That information is in the new issue of "Seventeen" magazine. He says, quote, "I want someone who's confident in herself and honest. I have to find her very attractive and as someone I can see myself with for the rest of my life." As for not being a jerk anymore, he says, quote, "I was rebelling a little bit. I was getting cockier and cockier. I didn't have people to check me. I looked back and I was disappointed in myself."
5/12/15 LiLo Working with Children
Find me on facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, May 12, 2015
TOM BRADY has been suspended FOUR GAMES over "Deflategate". The Patriots were also punished. They lose a first-round draft pick next year, a fourth-round pick the year after that, and they were fined $1 million. The Patriots are in the first game of the upcoming season, against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, September 10th.
I can't think of anything that could possibly go wrong here: LINDSAY LOHAN is going to spend the next two weeks working with CHILDREN. Lindsay is 115 hours short on her community service, and she has until May 28th to finish. So today, she'll begin working at the Duffield Children's Center in Brooklyn. Unfortunately for her, Lindsay will basically have to work a full day, EVERY DAY from now until the 28th, in order to get the required hours. And prosecutors say if she falls short, they'll recommend jail time.
Page 6 reports that Courtney Love owes a New York doctor $48,250 for allegedly unpaid therapy sessions. Dr. Edward Ratush, an "addiction psychiatrist" who specializes in "opiate dependence and depression," filed legal papers last week seeking payment from Love, who has made no comment on the suit.

In a post to his mom on Mother's Day, JUSTIN BIEBER thanked her for preventing him from being more of a dirt bag than he is. He said, quote, "If it wasn't for this woman let's just say I would have had a way LONGER stupid phase. I love u and thank u for not giving up on me!"
MORGAN FREEMAN loves marijuana. He says, quote, "My first wife got me into it many years ago. How do I take it? However it comes! I'll eat it, drink it, smoke it, snort it! [Legalization] is really a long time coming, and it's getting legs . . . longer legs." He also says it's the only thing that helps with the pain he still feels in his arm and hand from a 1997 car accident.
Despite the insane drought conditions in California, some celebrities aren't skimping on lawn maintenance. The "New York Post" printed aerial photographs of the very lush and green estates of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Lopez, Hugh Hefner, Jennifer Aniston, and other celebrities.
Demi Moore found out this week that she was a target of a major heist after thieves hit her storage unit in Hollywood and stole $200,000 worth of clothing. Police say one of Demi's assistants stopped by the storage facility on Monday and noticed a lot of items missing -- specifically her high-end clothing items. No one in Demi's camp had been by the storage unit in at least six months and there were no signs of forced entry, leading them to believe it may have been an inside job carried out by someone who works at the facility.
5/8/15 Jennifer & Ben Having Problems?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 8, 2015
BEN AFFLECK was spotted without his wedding ring last month, and the "National Enquirer" says he and JENNIFER GARNER are having problems. In fact, Ben went to a Buddhist monastery in Canada to, quote, "figure out what he wants out of life, and find a path back to being a good husband." He even left Jennifer to celebrate her April 17th birthday alone. And she can't trust him because he alternates between good behavior and bad . . . whatever that means.
CHRIS BROWN returned home to L.A. from a few days in Vegas, to find a naked woman in his bed. She had broken in a few days earlier and made herself at home. She also spray painted his kitchen counter and some of his cars. She was arrested for burglary and vandalism, and Chris said, quote, 'I pray she will get help."
Make a note: KRISTEN STEWART says she will NEVER get plastic surgery. She says, quote, "I am so freaked out by the idea of doing anything. And maybe that's completely arrogant but I don't want to change anything about myself. I think the women who do are losing their minds. It's vandalism." She adds, quote, "I either like being really sexy or insanely androgynous. I'm not great at applying makeup myself."
Lindsay Lohan has a new excuse why she still hasn't completed her community service hours. So far LiLo has completed less than 10 of the 125 required hours and her excuse is the community services center in England has changed locations-- and now it takes her an hour-and-a-half to get there. Her lawyer Shawn Holley said she'd like Lindsay to do the remaining community service in Brooklyn, so it sounds like she's moving back to the US. The judge in the case warned, "If Lindsay does not get this done by May 28th there will be consequences."
5/7/15 LiLo Will Get Arrest Warrant

The "Star" says KRIS JENNER was CAUGHT IN BED with KHLOE KARDASHIAN's ex-husband LAMAR ODOM. She went to have a heart-to-heart with him and one thing led to another . . . and they were caught in bed by one of Lamar's other girlfriends.
Okay, kids, you can stop tearing your faces apart doing the KYLIE JENNER Challenge. If you want to look like Kylie, all you have to do is use TEMPORARY LIP FILLERS. Kylie admits to using them on the upcoming episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". She says, quote, "It's just an insecurity of mine, and it's what I wanted to do."
The "National Enquirer" says DAVID LETTERMAN isn't just leaving "The Late Show" . . . he's leaving his wife, too. But Dave's rep says it's not true.
Lindsay Lohan has fallen short of completing her community service hours, and the prosecutor now tells TMZ he will most likely ask the judge to issue a warrant for her arrest. LiLo is due back in court today to prove to the judge in her reckless driving case that she has finally done her community service. During the last hearing the judge did not approve of the hours Lindsay says she completed in London, including those in which she claimed credit for performing her play in the theater. The judge ordered her to complete 125 additional hours by the end of the month. According to TMZ, the community service organization in London has told prosecutors Lindsay has completed fewer than 20 hours.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 31, 2011 – Alpine Slicing and Cheese Conversion Company is voluntarily recalling "Edelweiss Creamery Premium Fondue Blend" because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
No illnesses have been reported.
Approximately 492 lbs of the recalled Edelweiss Creamery Premium Fondue Blend was distributed to:
between November 1, 2011 and December 30, 2011. The Fondue Blend packages were packed in 16oz packages with the red and blue label "Edelweiss Creamery Premium Fondue Blend". The packaging lists the UPC code 758590116914 and the identifier code 290A11, both of which are located on the back of the package.
Alpine Slicing & Cheese Conversion Company discovered the issue during testing of its products by an independent laboratory. Laboratory testing has confirmed that certain products processed on the shred line contained Listeria monocytogenes. Therefore, other products produced on the same line, even if they have been tested and found to be negative, have the potential to be contaminated.
Alpine Slicing and Cheese Conversion Company has contacted the FDA and issued the recall to retail grocery stores and distributors in all of the affected states. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation into matter. All remaining inventory has been quarantined.
Consumers are urged to stop consuming the recalled product and return all recalled products to the store of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact Alpine Slicing and Cheese Conversion Company at 608-934-5707, from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM CST, Monday through Friday, or by email at email@example.com .

Warren Buffett is leaving the Washington Post Co. (NYSE: WPO) board when his current term expires in May. He first served on the board from 1974 to 1986 and returned in 1996, but his connection with the company goes back even further to his days delivering the paper. The Berkshire Hathaway chairman was one of Katharine Graham's top advisers and has played the same role for her son Don, the current chairman and CEO.
The news instantly sent the stock down sharply although it has been climbing back. Not only has Buffett, 80, been considered a linchpin of the board, Berkshire Hathaway is the company's largest institutional shareholder with 1.7 million shares, nearly 24 percent of the shares as of Sept. 30, 2010 and his departure could signal a change. Buffett doesn't own any shares directly.
Buffett has been a staunch supporter of newspapers — Berkshire Hathaway also owns the Buffalo News — and a firm realist at the same time. At the 2009 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, he said he would not give up newspapers personally but "we would not buy them at any price. They have the possibility of going to unending losses." He encouraged the Grahams' diversification.
The other members of the 11-director board include Graham, his niece Katharine Weymouth, publisher of the Washington Post; Barry Diller, chairmen of IAC; (NSDQ: IACI) and Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia. The board met today.
In today's announcement, which dovetailed with an increase in the WaPo dividend, Graham and Buffett each stressed that the flow of advice doesn't have to stop because he's retiring from the board. That's undoubtedly true. (I've confirmed that Buffett will act as an informal adviser, not a paid consultant.)
But the news unleashed an instant flood of speculation, including a suggestion that Buiffett is trying to distance himself from regulatory investigations of the company's Kaplan division over its student loans. But Buffett isn't leaving until May — and there's no real way for even a former director to distance himself from decisions made during his tenure, particularly when he has been on hand for the last 15 years.

Hello hoping someone can help me! My eight week old is extremely gassy- has hiccups and gas constantly. She had problems with breastfeeding so she has been on formula since about 2 1/2 weeks. We have switched multiple times due to the gas and is now on Similiac Alimentum and we are seeing no difference, its been about 2 days. She has been crying for almost three hours now on and off- its affecting her sleeping during the day every day. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!
Extremely gassy baby
Try baby probiotics, you can find them at your local health food store, and they will help your babies digestive system balance out. If you had antibiotics and are breastfeeding, then you both need to be on probiotics. The antibiotics strip your body of all bacteria, good and bad, the probiotics put the good bacteria back in. This as been a lifesaver for me and my little guy, wish I knew about this with my first one.
I have a gassy baby and use the gas drops before she eats and then I did switch bottles which has really made a difference. I use the Dr. Brown bottles and they have eliminated a lot of the gas. I also rub her tummy and bring her legs up to her stomach. We use the similac sensitive formulas as well. I also found that part way through her feeding I stop her, burp her and work with her legs. All this has really helped, she is still a little gassy but overall is doing very well.

However, the hostel itself is not one of the best as there aren't many facilities or places where guests can meet up. The chill-out was dark, no windows, smelly, not inviting at all.

A gamer from the heroic goalie, autographed by the full team1980 Jim Craig Olympics Game Used Hockey Stick Signed by "The Miracle on Ice" Team. The image of goalie Jim Craig wrapped in the American flag after the Miracle was completed with a victory over Finland remains one of the most enduring images of the Lake Placid Olympics, a symbol of the enormous pride felt throughout the nation for this young band of underdogs. Today most hockey experts point to Craig's heroic performance against the Soviets, deflecting thirty-six of thirty-nine shots from an attacking unit led by the great Boris Mikhailov, as the linchpin in the American team's realization of their impossible dream.
United Press International reporter Mike Shalin was in Lake Placid covering the Games in 1980 and approached Craig for a souvenir, receiving this remarkable artifact in satisfaction of the request. The "Northland" goalie stick was utilized by Craig during one or more of the eight games contested by the American team at the Field House, though the precise details of which game have been lost to history. A study of game photographs from the tournament find this specimen to be an exact match in every detail, from the factory markings and striping to the unique method of grip tape application at handle and blade. Solid game use is clearly evident, with a constellation of black puck marks speckling the surface, and the occasional lost fiberglass chip from a particularly powerful strike.
But far more than a simple game used artifact, this important relic serves secondary duty as documentation of the full team roster, bearing period felt tip autographs from all of your favorites: head coach Herb Brooks, Jim Craig, Mike Eruzione, coach Mark Johnson, Rob McClanahan, Bill Baker, Steve Christoff, Phil Verchota, Dave Silk, Mark Wells, Buzz Schneider, Mark Pavelich, Eric Strobel, Jack O'Callahan, John Harrington, Ken Morrow, Steve Janaszak, Dave Christian, Bob Suter, Neal Broten and more. Signature quality averages 8/10.
Ironclad documentation comes in the form of a signed letter from Craig himself, attesting to the gift at the Lake Placid Games. Letter of provenance from Jim Craig. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (autographs on stick and Craig letter). Full LOA from James Spence Authentication (autographs on stick and Craig letter)

Kia Sorento review
The Kia Sorento is a 7-seater SUV with bold styling and great practicality on its side
Sponsored Links
The Kia Sorento first appeared back in 2002 as the brand's first full-size SUV. Now in its third generation, the 4x4 is bigger and better than ever before, and comes loaded with standard kit. There's only one engine to choose from, and all cars come with standard four-wheel drive – though manual and automatic gearboxes are available.
Both the inside and outside have been given a bold and stylish makeover – but it's more than just the aesthetics that have been improved on the latest model. The high quality interior is the best we've seen on any Kia to date, and even comes close to rivalling the likes of VW, BMW, and Land Rover.
Plus, the substance backs up the style. Practicality has been boosted over the previous car, with a bigger boot and greater head and legroom, thanks in part to the extended length and width of this latest model.
In foreign markets, Sorento buyers can opt for a five-seat version, but in the UK it's only available with seven seats. The 197bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine comes fitted with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox, as well as standard four-wheel drive. Refinement is improved noticeably over its predecessor and the handling is sure-footed, but go for the 19-inch wheels on top-spec KX-4 models and the ride comfort suffers on poor surfaces.
The third row of seats fold flush into the boot floor, while the second row also folds flat by pulling a handle in the boot and can slide back and forth to accommodate larger passengers in the third row.
Basic KX-1 and KX-2 models represent decent value, but top-spec cars are expensive – with the range-topping KX-4 costing more than £40,000.
Our choice: Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi auto
Penned at Kia's new studio in Namyang, Korea, the Sorento is designed to appeal to customers in Europe, Asia and America so the play-it-safe but attractive styling is understandable.
However, with its smooth, uncluttered surfaces and simple shapes for the grille, front intakes, headlights and taillights, the Sorento has an aura of sophistication that's new for the Kia brand. We particularly like the 3D honeycomb effect on the grille, first seen on the 2013 Kia Cross GT concept. Top-spec cars come with stylish 19-inch wheels and flashes of chrome.
It's on the inside, though, where Kia has taken the greatest strides; The large central screen, surrounded by brushed aluminium-effect plastic, looks suitably upmarket, while the buttons are arranged in two neat rows and make the Hyundai Santa Fe seem cluttered by comparison.
There are still a few questionable materials here and there, including around the gearknob, which looks particularly prone to showing up scratches.
The Sorento is the first Kia to be passed for production by Kia's new dedicated quality control centre in Korea, and it shows. The soft-touch dash, matt black and gloss plastic finishes are a marked improvement over its predecessor.
Choosing a Sorento couldn't be easier. Only one engine is available to UK customers – a development of the previous model's 2.2-litre CRDi diesel, but now with 197bhp and 441Nm of torque, that's 6bhp and 19Nm more than before.
Go for a lower trim and you'll get a six-speed manual gearbox, with a six-speed auto as a £1,750 option. On higher spec levels the auto is standard, but in all honesty, the manual feels slick and well-sorted so we'd save the cash and opt for the cheaper models.
Thanks to extra insulation in the engine bay and wheel arches – plus larger doors that now stretch over the sills – engine and road noise is much better insulated.
Wind noise does become a little intrusive at higher speeds, but this is down to the sizeable wing mirrors. Unless you rev the engine to the redline, at which point it starts to sound coarse, it buzzes away in the background and deliver a good slug of torque in the mid-range. As a result, the automatic Sorento feels faster than its 0-62mph time of 9.6 seconds suggests. The manual manages to cut this to nine seconds flat, though.
The electromechanical steering is quite light and offers little feedback, while using the Drive Mode Select button does little to increase feel. There's nothing wrong with the way the Sorento grips in the corners and body control is good for such a large car. The slight trade-off is that on the larger wheels fitted to top-spec cars the ride is too firm over broken road surfaces.
Kia has a growing reputation for reliability and with no major recalls affecting the previous-generation Sorento, it's safe to assume the new model will offer a hassle-free ownership experience.
The engine and gearbox, although modified for the new car, is proven technology, too. When it comes to safety, the Sorento scored the full five stars when tested by Euro NCAP, scoring highly in all four areas (90 per cent for Adult Occupant Protection, 83 per cent in Child Occupant Protection, 67 per cent Pedestrian Protection and a 71 per cent Safety Assist). This is partly down to a bodyshell that's 14 per cent more rigid than its predecessor. That's thanks to the use of twice as much ultra high tensile steel in the construction, which has been used to reinforce the wheel arches, tailgate surround and rear wheel surround.
A host of new safety systems are available, too, including a road sign detection camera – that displays the speed limit and other important signs in the instrument cluster. There's also a lane departure warning system, a self-parking function, and adaptive cruise control.
A new 360-degree Around View function is also available on higher spec cars. This uses four cameras to show the driver the view around the car, something that is imperative considering the size of the Sorento.
Offering all the functionality of a seven-seater MPV but in a more attractive SUV body shape, family cars don't get much more practical than the Sorento. The seven seats, arranged in a 2+3+2 configuration, can be configured in a variety of ways. With the third row in place there's 142 litres of boot space, but when not needed they fold flush into the boot floor at the tug of a cord.
That frees up a more useful 605 litres of space behind the second row, which can slide back and forth with a 60:40 split. Fold the second row down via two levers in the side of the boot, and that opens up a massive 1,662 litres of space – 18 litres less than the Hyundai Santa Fe, but easily big enough for carrying most large objects.
The cabin is dotted with useful features, such as two deep storage bins and two cupholders in the front, plus a USB charging point for passengers in the second row. The Sorento measures 95mm longer, 5mm wider and 15mm lower (with a 80mm longer wheelbase) than its predecessor – but lower mounted seats means there's more headroom as well as more legroom than before.
An optional panoramic roof is well worth considering as it floods the cabin with light and adds to the sense of spaciousness. It doesn't particularly affect headroom either, with plenty of room in the back for taller passnegers.
The Sorento is sure to be a tempting choice for people with caravans and horseboxes. The manual model is able to tow 2,500kg load, while the automatic is a little less at 2,000kg.
Running Costs
Kia's ethos is all about keeping running costs as low as possible, so the Sorento should be friendly on the wallet once you drive away from the showroom.
Full fuel economy and CO2 emissions are decent for such a large car. Entry-level manual cars on 17-inch wheels will be capable of 49.6mpg and 149g/km of CO2, while those with bigger wheels return a still-respectable 46.3mpg. The automatic models are slightly thirstier, and cost around £1,750 more. As a result, unless you really need a self-shifter, we'd stick with the manual and change gears ourselves.
Kia's industry-leading seven-year, 100,000–mile warranty offers peace of mind, while a range of 'Kia Care' packages offer fixed-price servicing for three or five years, and you can even spread the cost of servicing with a monthly payment plan.
As the flagship of the Kia range however, the Sorento is the most expensive model in the line-up with top-spec KX-4 models coming in at close to £41,000 before adding any options.

Latency vs Throughput - A Primer of Two Critical Concepts
When discussing the performance of a computer system, there are two concepts that are absolutely critical to understand, yet often get overlooked. These are latency – or, how long it takes for some operation to occur, and throughput – or, the amount achieved in a given time. Understanding these two concepts will help you diagnose and troubleshoot performance issues, and build a foundation of knowledge needed for more advanced concepts.
Should open source leaders go native?
Anthropologists who traveled to the jungle to study various tribes would debate (half jokingly) whether to "go native"—that is, whether to adopt the lifestyle of the people they were trying to understand, or to keep their distance (and scientific objectivity).

How I Discovered Linux & Changed the World
In relation to the real accomplishments in the Linuxsphere, I was late to the party. In 2005, my three city network of business offices had been hacked and defaced. I had no idea of what to do.

I called him out of panic…I didn't know what else to do.

One Port to Rule Them All!
I was chatting with Fred Richards on IRC the other day (flrichar on freenode) about sneaking around hotel firewalls. Occasionally, hotels will block things like the SSH port, hoping people don't abuse their network.

Alarmed that measles cases in Washington state have climbed to 27 so far this year - more than the past five years combined - public health officials are reminding people that vaccination is their best defense against the disease.
Whatcom County accounted for six of those cases, which were connected to a measles outbreak involving more than 300 people that was declared March 8 in Canada's Fraser Valley.
In late June, eight cases were confirmed in south King County.
Statewide, there were five confirmed cases last year, according to the Washington state Department of Health.
Measles also has surged nationally, where 17 outbreaks have accounted for 554 cases in 20 states this year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Lack of vaccination is one reason for the resurgence, leading to the highest number of cases in Washington since 1996, according to the state Department of Health.
Meanwhile, measles remains common in many parts of the world including parts of Europe, Asia, the Pacific and Africa.
And travelers with the disease continue to bring it to the U.S., where it spreads when reaching communities with groups of unvaccinated people.
For example, many of the cases in the U.S. this year have been linked to people traveling to the Philippines, which is in the midst of a large and ongoing outbreak, according to the CDC.
So travelers are among the people who should make sure they're vaccinated, according to Dr. Greg Stern, Whatcom County health officer.
"If you're going to be traveling overseas, especially to places that are known to have large numbers of measles cases and you're not vaccinated," Stern said, "there's a real high risk of, if you get sick, of bringing it back."
The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is recommended for children 12 months and older, health care workers, college students and adults born after 1956.
Pregnant women shouldn't get the vaccine until after they give birth.
Symptoms of measles include fever, runny nose, cough and watery, bloodshot eyes, as well as a rash, which usually starts on the face and spreads down to most of the body.
More information is online at doh.wa.gov and cdc.gov. Type "measles" into the search window.

"Do I hear 20 ... 25?'' barked Davis, one of the more playful Bears. "Give me your best bid.''

Everybody knew that on Thursdays, when the Bears "open'' locker room tends to be an ideal place for a nap, chances are there was not much on that tape recorder worth bidding on to save. Thursdays are when Brian Urlacher meets the media, generally not saying much that would be quoted if he weren't Brian Urlacher. Thursdays are good for the kind of background conversations that you really don't want to record.
Wednesdays are a different story. Especially this past Wednesday, when the Bears provided plenty of tape for the audio archives.
There was Lovie Smith from the podium criticizing newspaper columns, including , that portrayed Cedric Benson as pouting after last Sunday's game against the Vikings.
There was Benson himself casting himself as misunderstood, again, and receivers coach Darryl Drake echoing that idea as he walked behind him off the practice field.
And there was Ricky Manning Jr., professing his innocence despite pleading no-contest to a felony assault charge that included the accusation that Manning made ethnic and homophobic slurs toward the victim.
Now that was a day a reporter didn't want to misplace his tape recorder.
E-mail is so much easier not to lose. So here is some of yours from the past week that I'll try to answer.
Come on, David, Benson is a pouter? After not seeing one play in a close divisional game in which Thomas Jones again proved he is a 3-yard-a-carry back, Benson was screaming, jumping and pumping his fist on national television when Grossman reached the sideline after the game-winning TD pass. He wasn't pouting, he wasn't hanging back, he was screaming and hugging his starting quarterback. Do you think it would be a good sign if he wasn't noticeably bothered by not playing? He's a high first-round pick. If he didn't react that way, then I'd be nervous. Stop fishing for the non-story. --Tim, Glen Ellyn, Ill.
It's hardly a non-story. I was on the field after the game, 20 feet away, watching Cedric Benson walk off with an expression and pace that I considered indicative of a player sulking. Probably a half-dozen media members mentioned Benson's mood to me before I returned to the press box. I formed an opinion based on that observation and Benson's history. I simply made the point in Tuesday's column that I would have expected a member of a team that had won such a big game to be more visibly enthused, and that's not such a ridiculous expectation as some people have suggested. Perception can be reality for players as scrutinized the way first-round draft picks are scrutinized.
We read body language regularly in this business. Dangerous? Perhaps. But it's necessary for anyone who relies upon observation as part of their job. I've been told by Bears players, coaches and front-office personnel that the way Benson reacted was just in line with his laid-back personality. That Benson is easily misunderstood and often misinterpreted because of his unique makeup. They are around him regularly and I certainly respect them for springing to the defense of a player as important to the franchise's future as he is. They know him better than I do. But no matter how much they protest, sorry, I still have a hard time believing that nothing was bothering the guy as he walked off the field after not playing in that game. And my basic premise was that a player with Benson's pattern of behavior risks becoming a distraction if he allows a bad attitude to get in the way of his progress or a playoff season. I have been assured it's a faulty premise, and now Benson can prove it.
Are the Bears being too cautious and conservative in their use of Brian Urlacher? Facing tough bookend tackles like Walter Jones and Sean Locklear, do you expect Ron Rivera to blitz Brian more often? I don't expect Alex Brown to get enough pressure this week, why not bring back the Urlacher blitz? It may also keep him interested in a scheme that he complains about on occasion. --Bob, Highland Park, Ill.
I've never heard Urlacher complain about this scheme, but if you have, let me know what he said because that would be a story. What's not to like? It's the single-gap scheme that allows him to play downhill and helped him earn NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors last season.
The Bears might be wise to blitz Urlacher or Lance Briggs a little more against the Seahawks, you're right, particularly when Seattle goes to that four-receiver set. Pressure will be the best way to cover Seattle's four top-quality receivers but Matt Hasselbeck is likely to take quick drops that require quick releases. I don't think the Bears are being cautious at all in their use of Urlacher; they have 10 sacks in three games. They have created pressure within the realm of the Cover 2 defense largely because of how hard Tommie Harris and the Bears' ends are to block. Delayed blitzes with Urlacher, as with many linebackers, often make sense. But a player as naturally disruptive as Urlacher excels when he lets the flow of the game dictate his big plays.
All the Halas Hall propaganda about blitz pick-up aside, Thomas Jones has been largely unimpressive as a runner this year. It's not a matter of yardage, but he's dancing way too much in the backfield and appears indecisive--in short, everything he was in Tampa Bay. Is there any chance of seeing Benson or Adrian Peterson getting some carries, or is Lovie too afraid of another backlash to benching/platooning Jones? --Phil Mayo, Chicago
I disagree with your assessment of Thomas Jones' running. The numbers haven't been there yet, and on a handful of plays he has danced more than Bears fans got used to seeing him dance last season. But he still runs hard, hits the hole and protects the football the way an NFL running back needs to do all three of those things. And the Bears' running game has served its purpose even if the yards-per-carry average isn't anywhere near where they want it. Understand that teams have come into games against the Bears geared to stop Thomas Jones, a sign of respect due to his 1,300-yard season. He may not have as many yards this season, but it would be a mistake to stop handing him the football. He has value as a runner that's only enhanced by his skills as a blocker and receiver - all-around ability that makes him the Bears' best running back.
With Shaun Alexander out, Mike Holmgren will probably go to the air, using three-, four- and possibly five-receiver packages regularly. How do you feel the Bears secondary will match up to the Seattle receiving corps? --Sam, Los Angeles

In Premiere Elements 9 Essential Training, author Jeff Sengstack breaks down the editing workflow into bite–sized pieces, covering topics from setting up a project to exporting the final video to any format. The course also covers the basics of editing and advanced features like picture-in-picture overlays and audio and visual effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Whether you're using files provided for this tutorial or your own files, occasionally when you open up a Premiere Elements project, Premiere Elements won't be able to track down files associated with that project. That typically happens when you move files to a new folder, move the folder to a new location, or change the file names. In those cases Premiere Elements will display a message asking you if you want to link to some or all of those files. Let me show you how that works. Now you can open up an existing project either from within Premiere Elements or from the Welcome screen, and we haven't talked about projects yet, but projects basically are your video as you are making it with all your assets and the things that you are editing on the timeline or the sceneline.
So I have already created a project for this particular example and I've purposely changed the names of the folders where the video files are stored to make sure it won't link properly. So I go to File, open a project, and there is the one that I want to open called link. Double click on that and the first thing it's going to say, "I can't find your clips, where are they?" So look to the first clip on your timeline that says where is agility1? So I know where it is, I need to tell it where it is. So I go to the folder where I placed it, where I changed the folder name with assets. I changed the agility to new agility just for this example.
That's why it couldn't find it, because I changed the folder name. So I go inside that folder, and there is agility1, so I want to say there is agility1, select it or I can double- click on it, and what it will do, it'll find all the rest of the agility files inside that folder, but now it's saying, where is zip-line1? It can't find that one, because I changed the folder name for that one too, but this time I'm going to skip all the rest of them so I can show you how you can link to media inside Premiere Elements. So I say Skip All down here at the bottom.
And that opens up Premiere Elements and inside the so-called Media View, you can see that these little swirly arrows that are basically saying, "Where is this video? I can't find it." And there is also a view called the Project View. It has the same thing there. It says, "Where are these assets? We can't find them." Well, I can tell them to find them by selecting this one and saying let's go to Edit, > Locate Media. So now we are going to try to track down that one clip. So I need to find the zip-line. Go back one notch to Assets. Here is where I changed zip-line folder to new zip-line. Double click that and select zip-line1.
That's the one we are looking for, and say Select. Now we will come back and there will be an icon or thumbnails saying, "Yup, we found it." But what about this other three guys? Well, we can simplify the process by selecting all three. So I'll click the first one and I will Shift+Click on the last one to select three things in a row. I will go back to Edit > Locate Media. Now I need to back to that folder again, the zip-line folder. I need to pick the first one that it asks for, number two. I say Select, and what it's going to do it it's going to find the other two as well, and we will link to them.
Now you can see that all three thumbnails are now illuminated, meaning that Premiere Elements is now linked properly to those files even though you changed the folder name where you stored it. So this is not an uncommon occurrence in Premiere Elements, but as you can see, it's easily solved.
There are currently no FAQs about Premiere Elements 9 Essential Training.

King Herod started persecuting certain members of the Church. He beheaded James the brother of John, and when he saw that this pleased the Jews he decided to arrest Peter as well. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread, and he put Peter in prison, assigning four squads of four soldiers each to guard him in turns. Herod meant to try Peter in public after the end of Passover week. All the time Peter was under guard the Church prayed to God for him unremittingly.
On the night before Herod was to try him, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with double chains, while guards kept watch at the main entrance to the prison. Then suddenly the angel of the Lord stood there, and the cell was filled with light. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him. 'Get up!' he said 'Hurry!' – and the chains fell from his hands. The angel then said, 'Put on your belt and sandals.' After he had done this, the angel next said, 'Wrap your cloak round you and follow me.' Peter followed him, but had no idea that what the angel did was all happening in reality; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed through two guard posts one after the other, and reached the iron gate leading to the city. This opened of its own accord; they went through it and had walked the whole length of one street when suddenly the angel left him. It was only then that Peter came to himself. 'Now I know it is all true' he said. 'The Lord really did send his angel and has saved me from Herod and from all that the Jewish people were so certain would happen to me.'
I will bless the Lord at all times,
his praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.
Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me;
from all my terrors he set me free.
Look towards him and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
This poor man called, the Lord heard him
and rescued him from all his distress.
The angel of the Lord is encamped
around those who revere him, to rescue them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
He is happy who seeks refuge in him.
My life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to be gone. I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come now is the crown of righteousness reserved for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his Appearing.
The Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the whole message might be proclaimed for all the pagans to hear; and so I was rescued from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' And they said, 'Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'But you,' he said 'who do you say I am?' Then Simon Peter spoke up, 'You are the Christ,' he said 'the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.'

The angels urged Lot, 'Come, take your wife and these two daughters of yours, or you will be overwhelmed in the punishment of the town.' And as he hesitated, the men took him by the hand, and his wife and his two daughters, because of the pity the Lord felt for him. They led him out and left him outside the town.
As they were leading him out he said, 'Run for your life. Neither look behind you nor stop anywhere on the plain. Make for the hills if you would not be overwhelmed.' 'No, I beg you, my lord,' Lot said to them 'your servant has won your favour and you have shown great kindness to me in saving my life. But I could not reach the hills before this calamity overtook me, and death with it. The town over there is near enough to flee to, and is a little one. Let me make for that – is it not little? – and my life will be saved.' He answered, 'I grant you this favour too, and will not destroy the town you speak of. Hurry, escape to it, for I can do nothing until you reach it.' That is why the town is named Zoar.
As the sun rose over the land and Lot entered Zoar, the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord. He overthrew these towns and the whole plain, with all the inhabitants of the towns, and everything that grew there. But the wife of Lot looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt.
Rising early in the morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the Lord, and looking towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and across all the plain, he saw the smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
Thus it was that when God destroyed the towns of the plain, he kept Abraham in mind and rescued Lot out of disaster when he overwhelmed the towns where Lot lived.
Examine me, Lord, and try me;
O test my heart and my mind,
for your love is before my eyes
and I walk according to your truth.
Do not sweep me away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men
in whose hands are evil plots,
whose right hands are filled with gold.
As for me, I walk the path of perfection.
Redeem me and show me your mercy.
My foot stands on level ground:
I will bless the Lord in the assembly.
Jesus got into the boat followed by his disciples. Without warning a storm broke over the lake, so violent that the waves were breaking right over the boat. But he was asleep. So they went to him and woke him saying, 'Save us, Lord, we are going down!' And he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened, you men of little faith?' And with that he stood up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and all was calm again. The men were astounded and said, 'Whatever kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.'

Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. The child grew and was weaned, and Abraham gave a great banquet on the day Isaac was weaned. Now Sarah watched the son that Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac. 'Drive away that slave-girl and her son,' she said to Abraham; 'this slave-girl's son is not to share the inheritance with my son Isaac.' This greatly distressed Abraham because of his son, but God said to him, 'Do not distress yourself on account of the boy and your slave-girl. Grant Sarah all she asks of you, for it is through Isaac that your name will be carried on. But the slave-girl's son I will also make into a nation, for he is your child too.' Rising early next morning Abraham took some bread and a skin of water and, giving them to Hagar, he put the child on her shoulder and sent her away.
She wandered off into the wilderness of Beersheba. When the skin of water was finished she abandoned the child under a bush. Then she went and sat down at a distance, about a bowshot away, saying to herself, 'I cannot see the child die.' So she sat at a distance; and the child wailed and wept.
But God heard the boy wailing, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven. 'What is wrong, Hagar?' he asked. 'Do not be afraid, for God has heard the boy's cry where he lies. Come, pick up the boy and hold him safe, for I will make him into a great nation.' Then God opened Hagar's eyes and she saw a well, so she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
God was with the boy. He grew up and made his home in the wilderness, and he became a bowman.
This poor man called, the Lord heard him
and rescued him from all his distress.
The angel of the Lord is encamped
around those who revere him, to rescue them.
Revere the Lord, you his saints.
They lack nothing, those who revere him.
Strong lions suffer want and go hungry
but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.
Come, children, and hear me
that I may teach you the fear of the Lord.
Who is he who longs for life
and many days, to enjoy his prosperity?
When Jesus reached the country of the Gadarenes on the other side, two demoniacs came towards him out of the tombs – creatures so fierce that no one could pass that way. They stood there shouting, 'What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before the time?' Now some distance away there was a large herd of pigs feeding, and the devils pleaded with Jesus, 'If you cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.' And he said to them, 'Go then', and they came out and made for the pigs; and at that the whole herd charged down the cliff into the lake and perished in the water. The swineherds ran off and made for the town, where they told the whole story, including what had happened to the demoniacs. At this the whole town set out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw him they implored him to leave the neighbourhood.

The Audit Bureau of Circulations has modified its guidelines for counting sales of bundled and "hybrid" print and digital newspaper sales in the U.S. and Canada. In some ways, the changes reflect the the increasing adoption of e-paper editions on PCs and on mobile phones. But some observers feel that the numbers may skew results to make it look like a publication has multiple readers were it only has a single individual.
The new policies, which go into effect on Oct. 1, (listed here) regard a hybrid subscription in the case of a subscriber who receives at least three days of the newspaper in a print format and four days in a digital format. The newspaper only counts one copy per day.

TEMECULA: Milestone in water rights negotiations
Pechanga, agency put together framework for a lasting agreement
TEMECULA -- Leaders of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians and the Rancho California Water District say they have put together the framework for lasting water rights peace in the Temecula Valley.
Whether this framework turns into actual legislation that is approved by the U.S. Congress remains to be seen. Matt Stone, Rancho Water's general manager, said recently that he is cautiously optimistic.
But he added, "there is still more work to do."
Congress is part of the equation because any money given to the Pechanga tribe as part of the Indian Water Rights Settlement must be approved in a piece of legislation.
Under the 1908 settlement, the federal government pledged to provide sufficient water resources to tribes forced to live on reservations.
The work Stone referenced is complicated because a sovereign tribal nation, the federal government, the Santa Margarita River Basin and the always politically sensitive resource of water are involved.
Both the tribe and the district draw water from aquifers in the basin -- 750 square miles stretching from Southwest County to northern San Diego County.
In the last few years, the tribe and the district have been trying to cordially hash out competing claims to the water in those aquifers without going to court, an expensive and time-consuming process that both parties said they are hoping to avoid.
This month, the tribe and the district sent out a press release announcing the completion of a framework that could lead to a settlement of the claims.
Normally, a framework wouldn't rate a press release, but Stone said the negotiations that produced the it were noteworthy due to the participation of the Metropolitan Water District and a team appointed by the U.S. Department of Interior.
The huge district, which supplies water to much of Southern California, has agreed to supplement the Santa Margarita River Basin's supply if the federal government pays for it, he said.
One of the details left to be ironed out is the price the federal government is willing to pay for that water.
If an agreement is reached on that item, an expenditure of federal funds ultimately will need to be approved by Congress.
Stone said the negotiations with the Pechanga are complicated by the sovereign status of its neighbor.
A matter of competing claims would be settled in California courts if the district was negotiating with just another community or water district, he said.
When a tribe is involved, all of the laws governing a tribe's water supply and federal law are added to the mix.
Pechanga officials said Metropolitan and the Interior team worked cooperatively with the tribe and Rancho during the negotiations to address the tribe's claims and the need to manage effectively the scarce water resources in the basin.
Under the framework, Pechanga -- which means "place where the water drips" -- will secure physical access to water supplies equal to the amount they were awarded in a federal court order called the "Fallbrook Decree," about 5,000 acre-feet of water a year.
