He may be young, but the new rector at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church is ready to immerge himself into the Los Alamos community — from young to old.
At age 30, the Rev. Chris Adams is looking forward to spreading the love of God through all age groups.
Adams started at TOTH just a mere five days ago and is already getting recognized by community members. His first day of his ministry was July 13.
"People already know who I am," he said. "The community has been very welcoming to me and my wife." After his family's arrival, neighbors welcomed them and even helped with their move. He said he likens the area to "southern hospitality."
"The community has been incredibly hospitable to my wife," he said, which helps with the motivation of putting himself out there to build relationships with members of the community.
He will be preaching for the first time Sunday at TOTH, and the church is having a potluck welcome luncheon for him at noon.
Sunday also happens to be Adams' birthday. The public is welcome to join in on the celebration to welcome Adams.

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — An unknown blast shook the desolate New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945, unsettling the historic Hispanic village of Tularosa.
Most residents lacked phones and radios, so they relaxed when Army officials said it was just an ammunition explosion — despite the raining ash.
They didn't learn scientists from the then-secret city of Los Alamos successfully detonated the first atomic bomb at the nearby Trinity Site until after the U.S. announced it had dropped the weapon on Japan a month later, helping end World War II.
"It was a source of pride," Tina Cordova, a former Tularosa resident whose father was 3 years old during the Trinity Test.
It became a source of anger after many residents developed cancer and blamed it for their health problems.
Thursday marks the 70th anniversary of the test that took place as part of the Manhattan Project, the secretive World War II program that provided enriched uranium for the atomic bomb. While the state holds commemorative events, Tularosa residents press for acknowledgement and compensation from the U.S. government.
OAK RIDGE, Tennessee – Groundbreaking work at two Department of Energy national laboratories has confirmed plutonium's magnetism, which scientists have long theorized but have never been able to experimentally observe.
The advances that enabled the discovery hold great promise for materials, energy and computing applications.
Plutonium was first produced in 1940 and its unstable nucleus allows it to undergo fission, making it useful for nuclear fuels as well as for nuclear weapons.
Much less known, however, is that the electronic cloud surrounding the plutonium nucleus is equally unstable and makes plutonium the most electronically complex element in the periodic table, with intriguingly intricate properties for a simple elemental metal.
While conventional theories have successfully explained plutonium's complex structural properties, they also predict that plutonium should order magnetically. This is in stark contrast with experiments, which had found no evidence for magnetic order in plutonium.
On Wednesday, the Los Alamos County Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Vice Chair Stephen McLin took an adversarial stance toward one resident in particular who was attempting to comment on the San Juan Generating Station (SJGS) restructuring agreement.
Chair Andrew Fraser joined the meeting by phone, and McLin chaired the meeting in his stead.
McLin's confrontation with Karen Paramanandam was the culmination of a series contentious moments during the public comment period.
McLin first tried to skip public discussion and go straight from board questions to action on the item. A resident challenged that.
After confirming with Assistant County Attorney Katie Thwaits that he should allow the public to speak, McLin opened the floor. He stated that those wishing to speak would be allowed four minutes, which is standard procedure.
McLin allowed the first citizen — who did not identify himself — a 15 minute exchange with staff before invoking the four-minute rule.
That speaker questioned the costs sited for decommissioning the plant and for reclamation of an open pit mine, based on a comparison to decommissioning and reclamation costs at the Four Corners Generating Station.
Science on Tap: From Trinity Test to Artificial Joints: How Computational Mathematics Has Transformed Our World (1945-2015). Speaker will be Nathaniel Morgan. 5:30 p.m. at UnQuarked Wine Room.
Los Alamos Lions Club meets the first and third Thursday. 6 p.m. at 84 Barcelona Ave. in White Rock. For further information contact Mary Swickard at 672-3300 or Dennis Wulff at 672-9563.

Recent Manhattan reviews
"I can't say enough good things about our visit to this property. From start to finish, it was a flawless experience. Every question I had was QUICKLY answered by Marea. By the time I arrived at the apartment, I felt like I already knew her! She had so many great tips for getting around and where to eat. She saved us literally hundreds of dollars by turning us on to Uber! The location was really wonderful! For the first two days, we just walked to places that were close. So much to see and such a great part of the city! One night we actually walked home from Times Square. When you're walking in the city, there's so much to take in, the walks just don't seem so long! The apartment was just like being at home. So nice to be able to go grocery shopping (Marea told us about a GREAT market that we went to several times) and make breakfasts at 'home'. Everything we needed was there. And there were many things we didn't expect at all! You literally only need to bring your clothes with you to stay here! I've been to NYC several times, always staying at a hotel... but I won't be staying in a hotel anymore. When I return, I will definitely stay here if it's available! This is the first time I've used VRBO and I have a feeling that I'll be disappointed the next time because I can't imagine all of the property owners being as wonderful as Marea! I look forward to meeting her again!"Guest: A guest from Beverly Hills, FL Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 17, 2015View listing

"Great little condo had everything you could ask for. Very comfortable and bright but a little on the noisy side if you're staying in one of the units at the front of the building. A restaurant and pub downstairs. Walking distance to more restaurants, pubs, shopping, groceries, liquor store and points of interest. The M15 Bus stops right outside the door to the business district and waterfront or walk to 1st to catch the bus all the way up to Harlem or everything in between. I'm glad we chose this neighborhood, we felt like locals and wouldn't stay anywhere else!"Guest: Bridget P. Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: November 16, 2014View listing

Recipe: Mixed Melon & Limoncello Sangria
Farmers Market Sangrias
If you've ever tasted an ice-cold glass of limoncello on a hot summer day, you know how amazing this Italian liqueur can be. Mixed into a sangria with fresh fruit, it's quite possibly even better. This sangria is all of summer captured in one delicious pitcher.
Why You Should Give White Zinfandel Another Chance
Wine for All
Yep, I said it. No other words in the world of domestic wine seem to generate the same intensity of reaction as white zinfandel. Virtually everyone has a strong opinion on this pink wine and, although still one of the most popular wine styles in the U.S., it has become an object of finger-pointing to many wine enthusiasts.
Thankfully, a new generation of winemakers is taking a twist on this American classic. So whether you enjoy the traditional, sweeter style, or you're into dry rosés, the world of white zin is alive and well and absolutely worth a revisit.
The 5 Best Red Wines for Sangria
Wine Wisdom
So, you've taken notes from Emma on how to make the perfect red wine sangria, and you're ready to make your first pitcher. But which red wine should you use? Most recipes simply call for the broad category of "dry red wine." Let's take away the guesswork and narrow down some specific styles of wine that deliciously complement the fresh, fruity essence of summer sangria.
Recipe: Non-Alcoholic Sangria
Drink Recipes from The Kitchn
My favorite thing about sangria, the Spanish punch, isn't actually the wine or spirits; it's the luscious assortment of fruit that gets ladled into each glass. I love how refreshing it is to sip, and munch, on a warm day, and I've often felt bad that my teetotaling partner hasn't been able to enjoy it. I developed this non-alcoholic version with him in mind, and discovered that I like it just as much as the real thing.
Now You Can Have Your Sangria and Eat It Too
Delicious Links
Sangria is a summertime staple, and rightly so — it's cold, refreshing, and makes good use of in-season fruit. The next time you're craving a pitcher of sangria (which, let's be honest, will most likely be this weekend), try the Spanish classic in cupcake form instead.

Ask These 4 Questions to Help You Buy Better Coffee Beans
Smart Coffee for Regular Joes
How do you know which coffee beans to buy? If you're standing at a coffee shop looking at all of the options, it might seem hard to choose, but the best way to know what to buy is to simply ask. That's the beauty of going directly to the place that roasted your beans, or to a place that specializes in stocking beans from a few different roasters; they know their product and they know it well.
Here are four questions to ask to help you get what you want to drink each and every time.
PBR Now Making Alcoholic Root Beer
Food News

Cocktail Recipe: Peach Plum Sangria
Farmers Market Sangrias
Every summer since I can remember, we drive the back roads to the beach. While the highways are much faster, we'd miss out on one of the best parts of the trip if we took them: pit stops at farm stands. Sampling from the trays to pick the best plums and juiciest peaches is as much a part of our family tradition as our yearly week at the beach together. And now, so is this stone fruit sangria.
Break the Rules: 10 Wines to Drink with Ice Cream
Wine for All
Who says you can't drink wine with your ice cream? Ask most wine professionals, and they'll tell you, "Pairing wine with ice cream is one of those 'impossible pairings.' Go with beer or have a sip of whiskey, instead." But what if you are presented with a situation where wine is your only option, or what if you simply love wine and ice cream together?
Adaptability is a positive quality, so let's break some rules.

Yes, $$C([0,1]) = \bigcup_{n = 1}^\infty \underbrace{\{ f \in C([0,1]) : \lVert f\rVert_\infty \leqslant n\}}_{A_n},$$ and $A_n$ is closed for each $n$ - if $\lVert g\rVert_\infty > n$, then there is a $\delta > 0$ and a non-degenerate interval $[a,b] \subset [0,1]$ such that $\lvert g(x)\rvert \geqslant n+\delta$ for all $x\in [a,b]$, and hence ...
Let $Af = \int_{0}^{x}f(t)dt$ in $L^{2}[0,1]$. Then $A : L^{2}\rightarrow L^{2}$ is bounded. Let $W$ consist of all continuously differentiable $g \in L^{2}[0,1]$ for which $g(0)=g(1)=0$. $W$ is dense in $L^{2}[0,1]$ because $\{ \sin(n\pi x) \}_{n=1}^{\infty}\subset W$ is an orthogonal basis of $L^{2}[0,1]$. However, $A^{-1}W$ is not dense because $f \in ...
Other than $0$? No. Try $A = -I$.
For any $(a,a')\in Y$, we have that $(0,-a')\in Z$. So $(a,0)\in Z$. In other words, $Y+Z$ contains the subspace $W=\{(a,0):\ a\in C^1[0,1]\}$. So now we need a Cauchy sequence in $W$ that is not convergent in $W$. For instance $\{(a_n,0)\}$, where $a_n(t)=(t+1/n)^{1/2}$.
The symbols $\langle x^*,v_n\rangle$ just express $x^*(v_n)$, the functional $x^*$ evaluated at $v_n$. It is a common notation, inspired in the Hilbert space case, where the dual is the same original space.
Maybe it will be useful to consider an example of two norms $F$ and $G$ of a vector space $X$ not being equivalent to each other. What it means is that at least one of the quantities $\sup\limits_{x \in X}\frac{F(x)}{G(x)}$ or $\sup\limits_{x \in X}\frac{G(x)}{F(x)}$ is unbounded, i.e. there is a sequence $(x_n)_{n \geq 0}$ of vectors in the space such that ...
Suppose you have a sequence which converges in $G $. The lower bound implies it converges in $F $ to the same limit. Suppose you have a sequence which ddoes not converge in $G $. The upper bound implies it does not converge in $F $. That's all you need, since metric spaces are sequential spaces.
You can start with "the norms induce the same topology". Then use the fact that a linear transformation is continuous if and only if it is bounded. And this is one of your inequalities. For the other direction, use the inverse of that linear transformation.

Lani Telian, Department of Public Health
People are quick to give advice to expectant mothers – cut down on caffeine, avoid alcohol, take prenatal vitamins – yet there's one topic that is often missing from the conversation. Gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that occurs only during pregnancy, can cause high blood sugar levels that can threaten the health of your unborn baby. According to the American Diabetes Association, this condition affects about 135,000 pregnant women in the U.S. each year.
Gestational diabetes is more likely to occur in women who:
- are older than 25 years
- are overweight
- had gestational diabetes before
- had a very large baby (over 9 pounds)
- have a family history of diabetes
- are Native American, Asian, Hispanic, African American, or Pacific Islander
- have polycystic ovary syndrome
But there's good news. You can manage gestational diabetes by eating healthy foods, exercising regularly and, if necessary, taking medication. Taking good care of yourself can help ensure a healthy pregnancy for you and a healthy start for your baby.
Women with a history of gestational diabetes have a much higher risk of developing diabetes during the 5 to 10 years after they deliver. If you had gestational diabetes, it is important to be tested 6 to 12 weeks after the baby is born, and at least every 3 years after that. Women may be able to prevent getting gestational or type 2 diabetes in the future by reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, eating healthy foods, and getting regular physical activity.
Mothers aren't the only ones affected by this condition. Children of women with a history of gestational diabetes are at greater risk for obesity, which puts them at risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Women with a history of gestational diabetes can help their entire family stay at a healthy weight by providing healthy meals and snacks, and encouraging their families to be physically active.
Remember, if you had gestational diabetes when you were pregnant, you have a lifelong risk for getting diabetes. Be sure to talk to your doctor about preventing diabetes, getting tested, and how you and your child can have a healthy lifestyle.

J.J, Abrams and J.H. Wyman are going from Fringe to … the buddy-cop genre?
With the final season of Fringe headed our way, it looks like Abrams and Wyman aren't sick of each other yet. Deadline has learned the duo has developed an "action-packed" drama for Fox that will hopefully fill the sci-fi void left by Fringe.
The project is currently untitled, but it sounds like Abrams and Wyman are going to twist the "buddy cop" premise on its head. The series is set in the near future, where "all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Wyman, who is acting as showrunner for the final season of Fringe, will write the series, and he and Abrams will executive produce it.
This is Abrams' fourth active TV project, in addition to Fringe, Person of Interest and the forthcoming Revolution. Although Abrams is executive producing Revolution, our understanding is that he's not that involved in its day-to-day. That will likely be the case with this new buddy-cop show as well, but we can see it being more his cup of tea.

Unlicensed California contractors now face jail time and stiff fines under new laws that took effect Jan. 1. Assembly Bill 370 increases the penalties for unlicensed contracting that are identified in Business & Professions (B&P) Code Section 7028.
Currently, a first conviction for contracting without a license is a misdemeanor with no set jail time or penalties.
As of Jan. 1, a first offense is punishable by up to a $5,000 fine and/or six months in county jail. A second offense is punishable by 20 percent of the contract price, or aggregate payments to the unlicensed contractor, or $5,000, whichever is greater, and not less than 90 days in county jail.
A third offense would be subject to a fine not less than $5,000 nor greater than $10,000 or 20 percent of the contract price, and a county jail sentence between 90 days and one year.
B&P Code requires that all home improvement jobs valued at $500 or more for labor and materials must be done by a licensed contractor. The bill also amends the Code to include that anybody who uses an unlicensed contractor is a victim entitled to restitution, regardless of whether they knew the contractor was unlicensed. A related new law requires that home-improvement contractors notify consumers of any pending liens on their property. If they are not notified, the lien becomes unenforceable. This law takes effect on Jan.1, 2011.
Other laws have changed as well, including:
• Deleting a provision that prohibited a person from obtaining a contractor license for one year after a violation for acting as an owner-builder without a license or exemption.
• New definitions and requirements regarding advertising.
CSLB licenses about 315,000 contractors. For more information, visit cslb.ca.gov.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."

easy jumpsuit - sleeve ring???
I am making a jumpsuit (pattern 9782) and the instructions say "join ends of sleeveband to a ring."
What is this ring you speak of? I cannot find mention of it anyway else, not sure what to do and if I need buy some kind of additional sleeve device and if so, is there a substitute I can make for this my experimental attempt at sewing?
1 Post Sign in to add a post
Apr 13, 2014, 11.31 AMby Sabrina Wharton-Brown
I think they mean fold the sleeve band in half as if it's a very wide book being closed, and stitch the ends together so that you have something that ends up looking like a sort of headband, or as they say, a ring. That's the trouble with abbreviated instructions — they're ambiguous without words like "the" and "a". : )

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Movies, Entertainment News
The new Pixar feature "WALL-E" is an environmental cautionary tale, as well as a story of budding love between two robots. And for its first half-hour or so, it's possibly the most melancholy cartoon ever made: Even the color palette of that early section, a mosaic of brownish grays brushed with dusty sunlight, speaks of loneliness, and of desperate cheerfulness in the face of a blank future. In the second half, "WALL-E" becomes less lyrical and more satirical, although even then, its bite is surprisingly sharp. But by the end, "WALL-E" has turned into something else again, a picture that's so adamant about ending on a feel-good note (or at least a feel-OK note) that it betrays the sad, subtle beauty of those early scenes. It must be that director Andrew Stanton — the man behind the enormously successful "Finding Nemo" — didn't want to make too much of a downer: Can't be sending all those tots home with the blues, can we? But the picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product.
WALL-E is a sort of mobile trash compactor — his name is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class — and he's the last robot left on a desolate, crumbling Earth, 800 years in the future. WALL-E has a squat yellow metal body and sturdy pincers for hands. He doesn't say much (the noises he does eventually make are provided by Ben Burtt). But his eyes, two lenses perched atop a virtually nonexistent head like a set of binoculars, suggest the all-too-human anxiety he suffers: He has the perpetually worried look of the young Woody Allen.
Although there are no humans left to avail themselves of his services (we'll find out where they've gone later), WALL-E still dutifully goes about the business he was built to do, scooping up scraps of trash and metal, forming them into solid, compact cubes, and stacking them high: He's surrounded by faux skyscrapers made of these blocks, reminders, maybe, of the great things men were capable of doing before they were undone by greed and hubris. Or maybe they're just comforting artifacts for this lonely little robot, mementos from a time when he was surrounded by life.
As WALL-E roams this forlorn landscape, doing his job simply because he has no idea what else to do, he picks up small treasures, bits and bobs that he thinks (if robots can think) might one day come in handy, and brings them back to his lair: The mishmash includes a Rubik's cube, strings of Christmas lights. WALL-E has one friend — an elegant-looking art-deco-style cockroach who communicates mostly by clicking and cocking his antennae — but we can see he longs for something more. Is it possible he's been so well-programmed by humans that he's more human than human? Stashed in his cave is a talisman that WALL-E values more than anything else in his possession, an object that he goes back to obsessively, hoping to unlock his secrets. It's a scratchy videotape of "Hello, Dolly," although only small portions of the tape appear to be functional. And so WALL-E spends his evenings trying to parse the secrets of human connection through musical numbers like "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" and "It Only Takes a Moment." He's bewitched by these fragments of pop art: For him, they're mysterious primers on what it means to dance, or to hold someone's hand. When the music kicks in, it's shaky and faint like a cue beamed in from a far-away galaxy, a place where people used to understand the pleasure of one another's company, or even just the joy that could be found in a throwaway musical number.
There's very little dialogue in the early part of WALL-E, and that section's near-silence only enhances its aura of mournful obsessiveness: Scraps of pop culture that are expendable to us (who ever even thinks about "Hello, Dolly" anymore?) are precious to WALL-E, and they begin to have even greater potential meaning when a lovely girl robot named Eve — shaped like a sleek white bullet, she resembles a cocktail shaker from a '70s bachelor pad — comes to Earth on a mission of her own.
There's more to "WALL-E" than just a love story. There would have to be, because as Pixar has gone about building a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship in animation, its pictures have become more ambitious in their narrative and thematic scope as well. Sometimes the company has gone beyond fulfilling those ambitions, as in the case of Brad Bird's marvelous Pixar features "The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille." Other times its movies have seemed to be about nothing but ambition (as in the flashy but lifeless "Cars").
"WALL-E" falls somewhere between those two poles. It's not as beautifully crafted a piece of work, either visually or narratively, as "Ratatouille" is. But it does have a soul, and for a portion of the movie, at least, Stanton (who co-wrote the script, with Jim Reardon; he and Pete Docter conceived the idea for the story) does take a surprisingly firm stance on the uselessness and unlikability of humankind. "WALL-E" shows us a future world in which humans — fed largely on junk food — have become so fat they look like old-fashioned rubber dollies bloated to obscene proportions. They're obese partly because they're lazy: Instead of walking, they've gotten used to coasting along on floating chaise lounges, and robots cater to their every whim. Instead of talking to each other face-to-face, they chat with their friends on computer screens that appear to be permanently affixed just a few inches from their faces — even when their friends are sailing along right next to them.
"WALL-E" also takes on corporate greed and political corruption: The president of the multinational megacorporation that's largely responsible for the demise of humankind is also the president of the whole world, and he's played by Fred Willard, who appears as a hologram spreading false optimism and lies. But "WALL-E" ultimately backs away from both its romanticism and its bitterness; its ending feels like a tacked-on remnant of manufactured hope and goodwill. There's plenty of antic action in the middle of "WALL-E," including a chase sequence involving a bunch of "rogue robots." But the action doesn't feel integral to the plot — it's more like a forced effort to make sure the kiddies don't get bored.
Toward the end of "WALL-E," Stanton tries to circle back and recapture some of the wistful magic of the movie's early scenes, but the spell doesn't take. "WALL-E" gives us a hero who, by culling through the masses of junk that we so casually throw away, becomes a repository for human memories, a living (though not breathing) creature who has more feeling than actual humans do. Then it shows us actual humans — lazy, fat, brainless ones who have squandered and abused their free will — and asks us to forgive their foibles. The gloss of preachiness that washes over "WALL-E" overwhelms the haunting, delicate spirit of its first 30 minutes. This clearly isn't a movie made by a robot; the drag is that it ends up feeling so programmed.

Lithium Technologies today announced that it has acquired Klout, a pioneer in using big data to measure online expertise. Lithium is the recognized leader in engaging on social networks and building online customer communities for the world's best brands. Together, the companies reach more than 500 million consumers across 10,000 specific interest areas, and 300+ branded communities. The combination of Lithium and Klout establishes one of the biggest data footprints of consumer attitudes, preferences, and activities on digital channels.
Joe Fernandez, Lithium SVP & GM of Klout (Photo: Business Wire)
The social web is dramatically changing the way consumers and brands interact. While transparent information is readily available online, it is increasingly difficult to know which content and people to trust. It is confusing for consumers to know who has the right expertise to deliver credible, relevant recommendations. It is equally challenging for brands, who are unsure how and with whom to prioritize engagement, to improve their reputations and grow revenue.
"With Klout, Lithium fully delivers on its vision of building a trusted online connection between consumers and the brands they care about," said Rob Tarkoff, Lithium President and CEO. "Trust is the currency online. For consumers, a trusted expert provides greater confidence in making purchases and getting advice. For brands, building a trusted reputation allows them to better find and keep customers."
Lithium's platform now solves these challenges for both consumers and brands. Like the most compelling models on the web—such as LinkedIn, Yelp, and eBay—the company brings together both trusted people and trusted content. Lithium now has created an exchange of shared value and a more complete measure of reputation.
For brands, this means they can:
- Build a more complete profile of their customers and their needs.
- Establish clear feedback on how consumers value brands, products and services.
- Engage consumers more effectively and enlist their participation in growing the brand and the business.
- Leverage experts for opinions and trusted content.
For consumers, this means they can:
- Discover which people and brands to trust.
- Enjoy a better, differentiated experience from brands they value.
- Receive rewards and recognition from brands for their loyalty and engagement.
"Joining Lithium is a proud moment for Klout," said Joe Fernandez, Klout CEO. "Lithium shares our passion for empowering every person to measure and maximize their impact online. Together, we can provide a comprehensive measure of trust and expertise for both consumers and brands in our digital age. Lithium is ultimately bringing greater transparency to every aspect of the online relationship."
Fernandez will join Lithium's executive team, reporting directly to Tarkoff, and will continue to run the Klout operation as its General Manager and a Senior Vice President at Lithium.
Chi-Hua Chien from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers will join the Lithium board of directors. Chi-Hua serves on the board of directors or co-led the firm's investments at Klout, Path, Level, Chegg (CHGG), Spotify, and Twitter (TWTR), among others.
"I am thrilled to welcome Chi-Hua to our board. His experience in consumer technology is an ideal complement to our current team and a perfect fit for our new mission around building better customer relationships through online reputation and trust," Tarkoff concluded.
No other board changes are part of this acquisition. Lithium did not disclose deal terms or any financial details. Catapult Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to Lithium on the transaction.
Customer & Analyst Quotes
- "With 100,000 customers and experts already using Crowdsupport, we have an active and passionate customer community," said Gerd Schenkel, Executive Director of Telstra Digital. "Lithium's new online reputation system will help us grow our community, allow more of our customers to help each other, and offer differentiated service for customers as they engage with us and help establish our digital presence."
- "Customer profiles are the next big battleground in delivering a continuum of customer experiences in a digital world," said Ray Wang, Principal Analyst & Founder of Constellation Research. "It's about knowing who is valuable, trusted, and credible. The combination of profiles with an engagement platform will provide a powerful combination for customers."
Product Details
Klout will maintain its consumer offering and continue to deliver Klout Perks to the market. In addition, Lithium will deliver an expanded product portfolio built around advocacy, loyalty, and enhanced profiles. The company will share this future product roadmap and go to market details at LiNC 2014.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

food prepared and presented well; various eating area options available, but you won't be told of the choices; not all seats in waiting area are obvious; expect higher than average cost; wait staff were very good; not a place for children
Oyster Rooster shots, great steak and fish! The shots are hot but you must try one. The atmosphere was friendly, busy but in a good way, service was great and the staff very helpful and very accommodating. The bar can sure mix a drink and we left satisfied both by the cuisine and the bill. Can't wait to swing back...
Wife and I went there in 2010 it was by far the worst food we have ever had before or since. The wait staff were terrible inattentive, lazy, unsupervised. The food was way overcooked, oversalted, a lot of msg. Do Not go here!!!!!!!
Food was ok not worth the travel and time. The cost was high for what we order. People were waiting in line for food that you could get at Joe's Crab Shack. Outdated
Really enjoyed the meal at this restaurant. We started with 1/2 dozen raw oysters which were exceptionality delicious. Fresh salads were very nice. Grilled and fried Shrimp as the main courses. The service was great!
It's a unique place on the inside. You feel like you are at the beach. Servers are friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. I think it's priced fair for seafood. It's a fun place to eat.
