Double Xpression: Debbie Berebichez, PhD Physicist
DXS: First, can you give me a quick overview of what your scientific background is and your current connection to science?
Because I loved biophysics, I did a search on who was doing this line of research. I came across Steven Chu, who is currently the secretary of energy. At the time I was applying, he was at Stanford and was one of the first to manipulate a single strand of DNA with his 'optical tweezers.' To me, his story was fascinating! Without really knowing who he was other than what I found on the web, I wrote him an email asking him if I could work in his lab. Had I known who he was – that he had just won the Nobel prize in 1997 – I would have been too intimidated.
|Debbie talking to the TEDYouth audience about waves.
|Deborah the Physicist model
So, when I got to NY, I had an explosion. I wanted to know what it was like to express myself as a woman and my friend suggested that I do some modeling. So I did. It was a brief, lasting about a year. But during that time, my friend, who was a designer from Mexico, asked me to work with her and I wrote and did some videos about the physics of fashion, which also included the physics of high heels video.
I've met a lot of physicists, and yes, some of them do tend to be that way, often as a reaction to how others treat them. Or, people would say to me that, because I am Latin, my cultural identity comes across as being warm and the last thing they'd expect me to be into was something as cold as physics. So yeah, I have definitely been judged so many times!
It even happens in my current job on Wall Street, especially with my male peers. When there are off site client meetings, I'm often accompanied by my male sales colleague. Sales people are generally required to know less about the complexities behind our risk models compared to someone on a more research-oriented role, like me and he will bring me along to these sales meetings in case the potential client has more sophisticated questions that go beyond what he can comfortably answer. Many times upon meeting the clients for the first time they think that I am the sales person, there to be the smiling face to sell them something, and that he is the risk modeler. They always direct their mathematical questions to him.
So, literally, the smartest students in physics were people who didn't really communicate that well, or didn't really speak English that well, or just didn't really make an effort. Their slides were on those overhead projector things with those rolls of plastic sheets, and most of their talks were so confusing and couldn't be interpreted! But they were respected! It was just assumed that if the formula looked complex, they were probably right.
And I said to myself that I shouldn't care what they think. I pretty much expected to not gain a lot of respect from the physics department, but it had the opposite effect! I actually had one of the professors from that department come up to me and tell me that he had never really understood what a liquid crystal looked like or what it really was! He said that "finally I understand [liquid crystals] because of your drawing. Thank you!" It was incredible!
To see the effect on people and from then on, I bounced up in down, I made jokes, I put in creativity. It doesn't always have a great effect on very serious audiences, but the younger generation is definitely appreciative. When it keeps going well, you gain confidence. And, for me, I even started wearing high heels to the next talk. When someone commented about my attire, I would counter, hey I have a PhD!

'Twilight' creator Meyer makes Sundance debut
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Stephenie Meyer knows all about obsessive fans. So it makes sense that the "Twilight" author should produce a movie about a woman who takes another writer's work a little too much to heart.
Meyer is a producer on the Sundance Film Festival premiere "Austenland," adapted from her friend Shannon Hale's novel that follows the romantic misadventures of a Jane Austen devotee.
"Austenland" stars Keri Russell as a woman named Jane who is so fanatical about the "Pride and Prejudice" author's fiction that she blows her life savings to visit an Austen-themed British resort.
Meyer has seen such zeal firsthand in her own readers and says that like Jane in "Austenland," ''Twilight" disciples can take fandom too far.
She says she has seen "Twilight" tattoos "that scare me to death."

Who Picks the Winners?
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Alibi Inaugural Photo Contest, April 1-7]: I read your weekly paper all the time, though I have not ever replied to anything in regards to its contents 'til now. Of all the publishable entries that could be put to print in your paper, who in their straight mind thought your cover picture was a winner? I certainly didn't. That's all I got.
Thomas Williams
Music for the Rest of Us
Dear Alibi,
I would like to express the displeasure with which I read your description of one of my favorite bands, Jyemo, in "Lucky 7" (March 18-24). The way you portrayed them was not only condescending and insulting, but inaccurate as well. To label this extraordinary band of musicians "Trustafari" (presumably because they hail from Boulder, with the implication that they are somehow rich Rasta types), is to assume too much. Yes, this band is white and from Boulder. They do play a fantastic, exuberant mix of music that includes reggae, as well as African, world beat, trance, rock and more. These hard-working musicians drove 500 miles to play at Stella Blue for a few hundred dollars—they do not deserve to be mockingly called "trustafari." They love what they do and are clear of their mission, which is more than can be said of many trust-fund types.
Finally, you also insulted their audience, with the exhortation to "dance your patchouli-scented asses off." Jyemo draws a fun, mature, sophisticated audience, and while there was lots of dancing there was not even a whiff of patchouli, sorry. It's one thing to be pithy, but when you make incorrect, insulting stereotypes, it ceases to be either newsworthy or funny.

Warning First, Punishment Second
Dear Alibi,
[RE: "Ortiz y Pino," March 4-10]: Finally, an unbiased report on the biggest gang in Albuquerque with the right to assemble at will and camp out, without any punishment. I'm sure that if it was a homeless person who did the same he would be sitting in another place, i.e. Metropolitan Detention Center praying that they won't be another victim by another gang (the jail guards ) who lash out and assault handcuffed inmates. I wonder what really goes on off camera. Any family member can make a mistake and go to jail, but let's not forget the man who was released from the jail only to wind up being killed by a tragic but preventable accident. It was our city that decided to put the jail out next to the Cerro Colorodo Landfill. I guess they think all inmates are trash so let's put them next to the dump. Hey people, let's not forget our local media coverage of the assault at the jail. The media is quick to place a mug shot of other citizens arrested, so why not show the pictures of the fired guards, or even release the video, that the law enforcement will surely edit before producing it to the public. Hey, I'm not done here. I still have to comment on more questions of accountability. Yes the fire dept fired the employees that "frauded" the tax payers out of thousands of dollars. If Martha Stewart can get charged, so can these thieves. How safe do you feel about the evidence in our city? Are the police going to use that missing evidence to hypothetically place it at crime scenes? With the mayor's property being torn down this week, it makes me wonder if the company he hired to demolish his sub standard property has any city contracts that the mayor or his administration signed off on. Let's not forget the traffic ticket the mayor's wife received, which a city employee changed to a warning. The officer got a reprimand, the mayor's wife still got her warning. I challenge the city to make all parking tickets on the day the mayor's wife got hers, warnings. That will surely show no favoritism, don't you agree?
David, AKA Snoop-Outlaws Ride
Harrassing Hum?
Dear Alibi,
[RE: "Newscity," April 1-7]: To: Bridger-Teton National Forest, USDA Forest Service: I am writing to you today in order to ask a question that you might be able to answer. Let me preface my question by stating that I have 30 years of backcountry experience in various mountain environments including the Sierra, Rockies and Cascades. I am a scientist by profession and a nature lover by passion. I have just returned from my fourth visit to the Wind River Range.
On this latest adventure, my cohorts and I (three of us all together) entered the western side of the Winds at the Scab Creek Trailhead on Saturday, Aug. 16. We spent six nights in the backcountry, with a three-night high camp established just west of the outlet of Middle Fork Lake. Beginning on a quiet morning of day three at Crescent Lake and continuously onward for the rest of our trip, we all could hear a fairly dim and very low level drone or hum that sounded a lot like a plane, but at a much lower frequency and without any obvious directionality. Whenever it was quiet enough (no rushing water or wind noise), I and my cohorts could hear this droning sound. It was always present, 24 hours a day! The intensity of the sound never really changed, and it was clearly audible from Divide Lake up to and including the summit of Odyssey Peak. The fact that it was always present, seemingly nondirectional, and not obviously due to wind or water or wildlife, led us to believe that it was very likely caused by human activity far, far away. But considering how far we were distanced from civilization left me with a very puzzled feeling. I have never heard anything like this in all my years of backpacking in various alpine regions of the United States. Could you possibly help to inform me of the source of this low level noise? I would be most appreciative.

Homeless on the Westside
Dear Alibi,
The Albuquerque Police Department's Westside Area Command, led by Capt. Conrad Candelaria, is to be applauded. He has recently begun to deal with business concerns of homeless people on the Westside of the city not by the typical round 'em up and haul 'em to jail technique, but by trying to link homeless people with services, in an effort to help them move off the street and into more permanent and safer living situations. Citation, arrest and incarceration are to be utilized sparingly, and only as a last resort. In my experience, this is the first time that this approach has been attempted in Albuquerque, and it seems that it is addressing many of the concerns of the parties involved.
I hope that others at APD, the city, business owners and the wider community will take note of Capt. Candelaria's approach as a new model of how to help both business owners and homeless people meet their needs. The basis of this type of approach is a realization that homelessness is a societal problem and that the existing model for interacting with homeless people isn't working. That model centers around passing new laws which make illegal harmless activities that homeless people undertake in public, arresting and incarcerating homeless people for petty crimes or for merely being in public spaces to which they invariably soon return, and "moving them along" to other areas of the city where they become somebody else's problem, all do nothing to ameliorate the situation.
Not only do these tactics not work in the short term, but in the long term, the criminal justice-based solutions make it much more difficult for homeless people to get themselves off the streets. This is so because as homeless people get caught in the revolving door of the criminal justice system, the criminal records they are saddled with act as a barrier to housing, employment and family reunification, among other things.
Unfortunately, Capt. Candelaria, his officers and the business owners at the shopping centers who are engaged in this enlightened approach are now facing one of the main difficulties many of us who work in the homeless community have always faced: The services available to people experiencing homelessness in Albuquerque are minimal and do not come close to meeting their needs. At the same time as services are so lacking, homeless people are being unfairly targeted by laws such as the city's new anti-panhandling ordinance. I would like to encourage the Westside team to continue their efforts, and at the same time call on them and the greater Albuquerque community to join with homeless advocates as we press the city to provide the resources necessary to finally solve the homeless problem for all homeless people.

Denial of Ballot Access
Dear Alibi,
Dear Ms. Giron and Ms. Madrid: As a candidate for United States representative in New Mexico's first district, I have fulfilled every legal requirement for ballot access as a member of the New Mexico Green Party for the June 1 primary. Further, I participated in the New Mexico state Green Party convention and received more than half of the delegate votes to support my candidacy and placement on the primary ballot. Now I am informed, through the media and NMGP state officers (not by the secretary of state), that I have been denied ballot access due to a clerical oversight. Apparently our NMGP state officers neglected to report the results of our convention in a timely manner so the New Mexico secretary of state has decided to use this excuse to deny me and the other NMGP congressional candidate, Abraham Gutmann, access to the primary ballot.
A review of the relevant state election law reveals that there is no legal basis for this punitive action. Further, as a candidate, I am being denied legal access to the ballot for actions or inactions over which I had no control. Further, the political rights of registered Green voters who signed my petitions and delegates to the NMGP state convention who have supported my candidacy are being effectively ignored.
It is a simple fact that when the reporting date had come and passed for the reporting of the results of the NMGP state convention, the New Mexico secretary of state did not immediately communicate with NMGP officers (as required by law) to correct a simple clerical oversight, but initially remained silent. It is a simple fact that the New Mexico secretary of state did not communicate at all with NMGP officers, but rather communicated directly with democratic congressional candidates and then went to the media to announce the decision to deny New Mexico Green Party candidates ballot access.
It is a simple fact that the New Mexico secretary of state has declared that the two NMGP candidates will not be allowed to deliver additional petition signatures by April 2, to remain on the primary ballot, an option provided for in New Mexico election law, since both did receive over 20 percent of their delegate votes at the NMGP convention. Quite simply, the New Mexico secretary of state is playing "both sides of the fence" on the issue of party convention designation, declaring that for the purposes of legal designation, the NMGP candidates are not designated candidates, since NMGP officers missed a reporting date, but at the same time declaring that since both candidates actually did receive over 20 percent of the vote in the NMGP convention, that both candidates are designated candidates, and therefore may not file more petitions and signatures to remain on the primary ballot.
Well madam secretary, are we or are we not designated candidates? If we are, then allow our names to remain on the June 1 primary ballot. If we are not, then allow us to file our additional petitions and signatures, an option provided for in New Mexico election law for any candidate not legally designated by his or her state party convention. The attempt of the New Mexico secretary of state to "have it both ways" is possible evidence of prejudice, interference with legal ballot access and possibly the basis for a federal civil law suit. We can and will pursue this option if the New Mexico secretary of state and the New Mexico attorney general make it necessary.

Up-and-Coming Television
Dear Alibi,
Our local UPN and WB television stations have cut a deal with the new USDTV service. USDTV will be providing digital programming, including our local and other network programs, to the Albuquerque area. It will originate from TV transmission towers from the Sandia Crest and will require a user to buy a special box to receive these transmissions to decode them for their TV, and a monthly fee. However, one nasty thing has occurred to make this happen.
ACME corporation who owns both our local UPN and WB stations have leased a major portion of their digital frequency bandwidth to USDTV so they can transmit their own programming to the Albuquerque area. Because UPN and WB are then left with a small portion of their digital bandwidth, they will never be able to transmit their own network high definition programs in high definition to us here in Albuquerque. In a time when most of the national networks are ramping up their high-definition content, our local UPN and WB stations are robbing us of the means to enjoy it at all. The UPN and WB stations are currently only forwarding their standard definition channel over their digital channel (requiring only a small bandwidth), and they have no intention of changing that.
I understand that the FCC has caught wind of this and are not very happy. The FCC feels they are leasing these digital frequencies in good faith to the TV stations. The FCC requests that if the TV station is an affiliate of a network then they will forward any prime-time evening programming in high definition to its viewers if the network provides them with the programming in high definition.
People may feel that this is not a world crisis type situation, but this is setting a bad precedent that should be stopped now before it spreads over the country. We deserve better in Albuquerque. Don't sell us out ACME corporation for a few extra bucks of profit!

Wintertime in Natuashish brings deep, hard-packed snow to the woods trails and barrens, opening up unlimited access to the isolated town for people on snowmobiles who want to run alcohol into a community that has banned it for the past six years.
And there's no shortage of customers for smuggled booze.
The Innu community of more than 700 people was divided on imposing a ban in the first place. Fed up with social problems exacerbated by alcohol, the band council asked residents to vote on a ban in 2008 — it passed by just two votes.
In 2010, another referendum was held on whether to maintain the ban. At that time, 188 people voted to keep the ban, while 125 voted against it.
Still, the numbers suggest a client base for smugglers who see the opportunity to turn a profit in the town nestled on the cold north coast of Labrador.
One 40-ounce bottle of liquor, for instance, can fetch hundreds of dollars.
And smugglers have been apprehended by police for trying to bring in dozens of bottles.
For the RCMP, the winter brings new challenges. Snowmobiles are the main mode of transportation for the town's population, a high percentage of whom are under 18 years of age.
Still, the detachment's enforcement efforts have met with success.
From September 2013 to February this year, RCMP in Natuashish have laid 51 charges under Section 85 of the Indian Act, related to breaches of the liquor bylaw in the community.
The charges cover illegal alcohol possession, consumption and intoxication on the Natuashish Innu Reserve.
The RCMP points out that multiple people in the community have been charged — it's not always the same individuals.
Sgt. Cal Barter said winter is exceptionally difficult for controlling the smuggling of alcohol since snowmobiles provide easy transportation for those bringing in liquor from other areas.
"The difficulty we have here is that it's more access to get in and out of the community by snowmobile — two hours for Hopedale and three hours to Nain," Barter said.
"All year long we do spot checks of aircraft coming into the community. We check the bags of people coming in by plane and on the coastal boats. So, people know we are doing these checks and that is a deterrence," Barter said.
"It's more difficult in winter. We can't police every inch of the reserve."
From September to February, the RCMP seized approximately 100 bottles of liquor and five dozen beer — either within the community or destined for Natuashish.
Hard liquor can't be purchased on the coast of Labrador, so purchases are made in Happy Valley-Goose Bay or Nain, and beer can be purchased in Hopedale.
While the overall number of calls for service to the RCMP has dropped noticeably since the alcohol ban was put in place, there's a spike in calls whenever a shipment of alcohol has made it in and been distributed.
The increase in alcohol availability and related intoxication contributes to increased calls on other criminal matters throughout the community.
"We'll go and find someone intoxicated in public," Barter said. "And social issues arise from alcohol use. Our calls for service go up regarding domestic issues, being intoxicated in public, disturbances, mischief, etc."
Sometimes the offences are of a more serious nature, such as dangerous driving while under the influence, assault, or weapons-related crimes.
Once someone is convicted of bringing booze into the community, a first-time offender can receive anything from a suspended sentence to probation, with repeat offenders receiving anything from fines to jail time.
In addition to enforcement, RCMP officers visit schools to talk to students, and take part in breakfast programs and other initiatives to help educate young people on the problems with alcohol and substance abuse.
The people of Natuashish have had their share of social problems over the years.
It's a relatively new community — the Innu have been moved there from the island community of Davis Inlet in December 2002 and early 2003.
That move was basically set in motion in 1993, after a videotape went nationwide of Innu children in Davis Inlet sniffing gas and getting high on the fumes, and saying they wanted to die.
The Innu of Davis Inlet — once the nomadic Mushuau Innu tribe — pleaded to be moved to a new community away from the rundown houses and squalor that had developed in town.
By 2001, Davis Inlet's troubles were making national headlines again when 35 children from Davis Inlet and nearby Sheshatshiu were sent to the old Grace Hospital site in St. John's for substance-abuse treatment.
By Christmas 2002, dozens of Innu families in Davis Inlet had packed their belongings and begun travelling across the ice and snow to Natuashish — a community built by the federal government at a cost of more than $150 million.
Within a year, there were indications that gas sniffing by some youth had resumed. Parents continued to drink and a few years later, the band council called for a vote on the alcohol ban to help deal with the problems.
Alcohol abuse by adults and gas-sniffing among children and youth remain problems to this day.

Now it's coming from the Dept of Labor...another handout to Obama's favorite constituancy...the unions. This regime can always count on the gullible tax payer, especially since so few of his voters pay any of those taxes.
Shocker: Department Of Labor Gives Twinkie-Killing Union Workers A Bailout
Written By:
Rob Port
When the ponderously-named Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on strike they made national headlines for potentially killing off Twinkies. Of course, the unions hotly denied that it was their unreasonable demands and strike when those demands werent met that killed Twinkies.
Now, by way of granting the union workers a big, fat bailout (this is the same union, by the way, that just won unemployment benefits from the North Dakota Supreme Court) the Department of Labor is claiming that it was foreign competitors which did the company in.
Officials at the U.S. Department of Labor claim it wasnt the decision of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union to go on strike that finally brought about the Twinkies demise, but rather the increased import and sale of products from Hostess foreign competitors.
Wait, what?
As a result of the DOLs unique interpretation, more than 18,000 former Hostess employees are eligible for thousands of dollars in extra assistance above and beyond standard unemployment insurance, funded through the departments Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program and your tax dollars.
Do you think maybe Hostess couldnt compete with its foreign counterparts because they were saddled with an unreasonable union they couldnt get rid of?
Thats the obvious conclusion. But then, the Obama administration was no doubt looking for an excuse to funnel a little more money to their union allies.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the information Guys. I'm going to be keeping this to a low-cost adventure as I'm hoping to go out with a guide on Montauk near the end of October and have only so much in the way of funds (tragic, but true). Out of curiosity, is there anything north of the city that's good? BTW, suggestions on fishing Castle Island are duly noted. I'll have to look at a tide chart for the area.
Hawkeye - I'll have evenings and early mornings open; between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. I'm at the trade show.
|I would recommend Tom Koerber of ROCCUS charters. A bit further south, Reel Dream in Scituate. Not too far further are Capt.Charlie Lemieux and Baymen Outfitters in Plymouth and Duxbury.
Try Castle Island. Its easy, accessible and only a $10 - 20 cab ride from where you are. It's a man made structure that has two inflow/outflow channels. The fish stack up outside the channels on the outgoing waiting to crash bait. You'll need to get down deep, the water really moves through there (I fish a 460 grain). I would have been more then happy to show you around but I'm going to be away that whole weekend. Let me know if you need anymore information, directions etc. Good luck.
I have not read it nor have I fished Boston Harbor but if I were in your shoes and didn't want to spend the money on a guide I would pick up Jack Gartside's "The Fly Fisherman's Guide to Boston Harbor". From what I have heard this book gives a very detailed account of the when, where and how for the wading angler.
No license needed.
Lots of fishing options at that time. My brother and I will likely be focused on the SBFT if they are around. Good bass and blue fishing around Boston and on the cape you can add Bonito, Albies and Spanish Macs to the list.
Am I reading that right - you will be available only in the evenings on those days? If so then the best fishing list narrows to Bass. I'll let others handle the where's as I do not know the Boston area well at all.
|You will not need a SW license to fish in Mass...I will probabaly be on the Cape that weekend...keep in mind that it's about 55 miles from Boston to the Cape bridge.... and alteast 1/2 hour more to ...say...Chatham...which is 30 miles from the bridge... and and another 30 miles up to P-Town from there. I know Boston harbor will probably be hot and it might be worth your while to get a guide for the evenings... since they do go out in the eves in the harbor to cater to the intown working crowd. The guide can take you out in a boat since the beach fish is hard... and you would need a boat to get to the Islands... Castle Island is accessable but again you are on limited time and really don't know where to go. Check the sponsor list for Boston harbor guides...if we have none, I can recommend some for you to contact..... but if you want to go to the Cape... that should be no problem except for the fact that you are limited to nights.
Going to be in Bean Town next month
Hey Guys,
I'm going to be in Boston the dates of 9/9 - 9/12 for an industry trade show, staying at the Harborside Hyatt. Of course, I intend to bring my fishing tackle. I'll have a car and will be free Thursday through Saturday nights after 6 p.m., have to be in the hotel room by 7 each morning.
Questions are:
Do I need a saltwater license to fish in Mass.?
Will anyone be fishing on the cape or anywhere near the city on any of those dates that wouldn't mind a tag-along?
One other option, if anyone is interested, is to fish on Monday. This would require me using a free hotel night but if the fish are there and it's possible to hook up with any of you locals I'd be willing to do it.

WASHINGTON - The tale of how Mitt Romney's dog was once strapped to the roof of the family station wagon is being immortalized in a new song and smartphone app. Devo, the New Wave-punk rock group, has recorded a single that satirizes the story of Seamus, Romney's Irish setter, who got sick during the 12-hour drive to a family vacation in Canada.
The single, Don't RoofRack Me, Bro (Seamus Unleashed), will be released on Aug. 26, the day before the Republican National Convention begins in Tampa. It also happens to be National Dog Day.
The story of Seamus and the Romney road trip initially came to light during the Republican's first presidential campaign. But it has taken a life of its own this time around. President Obama even made a reference to the dog story earlier this week as he criticized Romney on energy issues.
"As an animal lover, I felt I had to get involved," said Gerald Casale, founder of the music group best known for its 1980 hit, Whip It.
Casale has joined forces with an organization called Dogs Against Romney. The single will come out in conjunction with a mobile game, The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed, which will be available for iPhone and iPad.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of International Business Machines (IBM) are down $3, or 1.5%, at $192.50, after Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha this morning cut his rating on the shares to Underperform from Neutral, with a $175 price target, citing a list of concerns, such as IBM's software business losing market share, and a lack of organic revenue growth. However, is main concern is that the focus on reported earnings is "distorting." Rather, he thinks, Investors should focus on the free cash flow conversion rate of 59%, which, he says, is "the lowest of any large cap tech stock, ex-Intel (INTC)," and has "deteriorated for four straight years."
Shares of Dell (DELL) are down a penny at $13.67 after Carl Icahn last night disclosed buying another 4 million shares of the stock last Thursday, at an average price of $12.94, bringing his total to 156,478,650. The company is moving toward a September 12th vote on the leveraged buyout proposed by Michael Dell that Carl Icahn is opposing.
Shares of Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) are up $2.90, or almost 4%, at $76.31 after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue of $2.16 billion and earnings per share of $1.07, topping consensus for $2.13 billion and $1.05 per share. For the current quarter, the company projected $2.25 billion, slightly better than the consensus $2.22 billion, and a higher profit view of $1.09 versus the $1.03 analysts have been modeling.
For the full year, the company raised its revenue expectation to "at least" $8.74 billion from $8.6 billion, which is better than the current average estimate of $8.65 billion.
Shares of Dish Network (DISH) are down $1.06, or 2.4%, at $43.65, after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue of $3.61 billion, up 1%, but below the consensus $3.65 billion. The company turned a net profit of 2 cents a share, with average revenue per share of $80.90, shy of consensus of $81.34, according to a report this morning by Craig Moffett of Moffett Research.
Moffett, who rates the stock a Buy only because he believes some day it will merge with DirecTV (DTV), writes this morning that at first glance, the results "weren't terrible." But things such as the loss of 78,000 subscribers in the quarter were worse than the 47,000 expected, causing "growth-adjusted Ebitda," his home grown metric, to decline 15.9% — "a truly awful showing, " writes Moffett.
CNBC's Julia Boorstin this morning reports that CBS (CBS) CEO Les Moonves today sent a two-and-a-half page letter to Time Warner Cable's (TWC) outgoing CEO Glenn Britt and incoming CEO Robert Marcus, attacking the company for failing to negotiate to resolve the two companies' dispute over fees. Yesterday, Marcus had gone on CNBC to discuss Time Waner's proposal to sell CBS content "a la carte." But Moonves says Time Warner hasn't actually been willing to sit down and resolve things.
CBS shares are unchanged this morning at $53.86, and TIme Warner shares are unchanged at $116.42.
The folks at BlueFin Research Partners today reflect on the state of equipment orders at Intel, writing that Intel's efforts to make parts with 14-nanometer line widths are bearing "decent yields" without the need for exotic techniques such as "double patterning" and without "extreme ultra-violet" light sources. That, they write, means that for equipment supplier ASML (ASML), "Fewer scanners required and more re-use of existing systems from previous technology nodes."
Bernstein Research's Mark Li, reiterating a Market Perform rating on shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), and a $19 price target, writes that he expects the company to get 30% of Apple's (AAPL) business next year. However, in attempting to reconcile his thinking with TSM's forecast to spend only as much on equipment next year as it will this year year, Li hypothesizes that "demand from 20nm, from the shipment perspective, is weaker than that from 28nm, even with AAPL's contribution."
TSM's shares are down 15 cents, or 0.9%, at $16.67.
And speaking of Apple, In case you missed it, The New York Times's Dealbook's Bill Bishop late yesterday explores the phenomenon of local Chinese brands that had a big impact on smartphone sales last quarter, including Xiaomi, and how they're hurting Apple.
Apple shares are up 14 cents at $469.59.

Fair Trade Gold & Silver? It's Complicated
Posted by Admin in Fair Trade News & Views, Global Exchange Store Updates on 9th August, 2011 | No Comments
Fair Trade jewelry has become a popular item sold here in the US that has provided benefits to artisans throughout many impoverished nations of the world, allowing them to continue traditional methods of handcrafting jewelry with dignity. Yet while the impact on these artisan's lives is undoubtedly significant, certain ethical questions have been raised about Fair Trade jewelry as well as other items crafted from metals.

New Admission video online
Posted September 16, 2002; 11:59 a.m.
The Office of Admission has released a new 17-minute admission video, "Beginnings," that focuses on students as they embark on the Princeton experience. Drawing on conversations with students, faculty members, and President Shirley M. Tilghman as she began her first year in office, the video attempts to describe to potential applicants the nature and uniqueness of Princeton, and the kinds of experiences students have as they begin their college careers.
The video was produced by Andy Greenspan, who also produced the University's previous admission video in 1992 and a video on "defining moments" in Princeton's history in connection with the University's 250th anniversary. The production was coordinated by Vice President for Public Affairs Bob Durkee and Dean of Admission Fred Hargadon.
The video was shot on campus last fall. It exists in VHS and DVD format, and will be used by admission staff and alumni schools committee volunteers as they meet with potential applicants. It will also be made available to regional alumni associations, and viewings will be scheduled on campus.
The video can be viewed in various formats on the Undergraduate Admission Web page. Click here to view "Beginnings" online.

The original story and screenplay was conceived and written by John Burke; however when Reeves and Tom Baker re-wrote sections of it at Karloff's behest, Burke's credit as screenwriter was relegated to 'Based on an idea by.' This 'error' was eventually corrected in Benjamin Halligan's 2003 biography of Reeves. It is also the raison d'être for a new book by Johnny Mains, an award winning editor, biographer, horror historian and renowned authority on the vintage horror anthology series, The Pan Book of Horror Stories.
The Sorcerers by John Burke details the background of the film, presents – for the first time - its original screenplay, and the mistreatment of its writer John Burke. It contains letters written and received by Mr Burke, a complete reprint of his original story treatment and script - prior to Reeves' and Baker's alterations - and the chapter on The Sorcerers from Halligan's Reeves biography. There is also a disarmingly personal introduction by Johnny (for whom this project was clearly a labour of love), notes on The Sorcerers by film critic Kim Newman, and a foreword from Burke's widow Jean, as well as exclusive stills from the film. In other words, for admirers of British horror cinema, this is a must read.
Johnny is currently editing the forthcoming anthology Best British Horror, and he took some time out to chat with me about his latest book and his mission to see that John Burke's work on The Sorcerers is rightly acknowledged.
I first got in contact with John through Sam Youd (John Christopher, The Tripods) as they were both authors who once wrote for a series called The Pan Book of Horror Stories, which I am an authority on, whatever that means. We started writing letters to each other, once a week, and I would always finish the letter off with 'Question of the Week' – and it would be in regards to his career, which was active and vibrant right up until his death. From there a firm friendship was cemented. Sadly John knew nothing about this project as it was undertaken after he died.
Can you tell me about the genesis of this project? You had been at John Burke's house when he showed you his original screenplay Terror for Kicks…
It was January 2011 and my wife and I went back up to Scotland for a week or so, and part of the holiday was to finally meet up with John Burke, who I had been in letter and phone contact for three or four years by that time. My wife and I took a room in the bed and breakfast on the same street as he and his wife Jean lived and went round one afternoon. Stayed for around seven hours and drunk a lot of whisky. My headache the next day was something else, I can tell you. But in between lunch and a wee drinky, we went up to John's office to see where he worked and it was whilst going through his archive that he first brought out the original screenplay to The Sorcerers, which was originally called, you are right, Terror For Kicks. I was blown away by what he had managed to keep a hold of – contracts, letters to Michael Reeves and his original screenplay and also a copy of the shooting screenplay. I did say to John at the time that this stuff should be out there, that people should know the truth. John thought that too much time had passed and that no-one would really be bothered.
What made you decide to embark on this project and bring to light John's original screenplay?
John sadly passed away in September 2011 and it was a really sad time, although he had been poorly for a while. After he passed, his son asked me what materials I would like sent to me. I had asked if I could get access to his autobiography that he had started writing it in the months before his death - there was about ten short chapters in a Word file and I am going to try and fill in the gaps as much as I am able and do a scrapbook of sorts, of John's life. I asked straight away for the file with The Sorcerers material in it, because I just had a gut feeling that this was the book that needed to come out first. Once it arrived (January 2012) and I began to pour over it, another project was begun, but wouldn't be completed until the book went to print a few months ago.
|Boris Karloff as Dr Monserrat
Very easy, everything came with the original screenplay. Tony Earnshaw was very helpful in supplying some stills from the film – but everything else came from John's family.
What do you hope the outcome of the book will be?
I hope that people start to realise that Michael Reeves played dirty when it came to dealing with John Burke. John came up with the original idea, wrote the screenplay – and after Boris Karloff came on board and said he wanted the ending to be changed to make his character have a noble death - which John didn't think would work - John said that he was working on something else (Late Night Horror) and couldn't come back to the project. Michael Reeves brought Tom Baker on board to help re-write the ending - whilst promising John that he would still keep main screenwriting credit – and not only changed the ending but other parts as well. When John finally watched the film he discovered to his shock that he had been bumped down to 'an idea by' – when a very large proportion of his original screenplay remains in the finished film.
How did John feel about his final credit on the film?
He wasn't happy.
The original screenplay is much darker than the finished film and you'll see that when you read it. But the film's still a good watch. I watched it recently on the big screen for the first time – and it's a much funnier film than you realise.
Where do you see The Sorcerers – and indeed John Burke – fitting in with British horror/genre cinema?
The Sorcerers is now a very outdated film – perhaps not so much in concept, but in style and looks – it's old and tired. Much like Karloff was whilst filming it. But its place is assured and I prefer it to Michael Reeves' last film Witchfinder General – that's a film that's riddled with problems. But we mustn't forget that Reeves was a blossoming director and would have gone on to film great films etc, etc, etc… Bollocks – that's tripe. If you look at directors that were doing the same thing as Reeves back then, they went to America, did one or two films over there then faded into obscurity. Had he lived, the same thing would have happened to Reeves. As to John's legacy – don't forget that he wrote many film tie-ins to such works as The Beatles' Hard Day's Night, The Hammer Horror Omnibus, Dr Terrors House of Horrors, The Man Who Finally Died, Privilege, Jason King, UFO, The Bliss of Miss Blossom, The Smashing Bird I Used To Know and other novels. His place in film history is secure – in fact some of the books he wrote ended up being better than the films they were based on!
Before he wrote The Sorcerers, John had penned a screenplay – to be directed by Michael Reeves – called The Devil's Discord. After problems during pre-production, the film was shelved. Whatever happened to this script?
It was never made by Michael Reeves and the option ran out and it's now owned by the Burke family. I'm hoping to bring that screenplay out as a book next.
He'd languish in obscurity for years, maybe making lots of B movies – then probably pull an Oscar winner out of the bag. Who knows. As to Terror For Kicks, the truth would have come out, but nobody would have been bothered, I don't think. It's only because Reeves died and the 'Cult of Reeves' is so strong and so many people are interested in him and his life, that this book becomes all the more relevant.
John was really rather prolific, to say the least – do you have any favourites amongst his works of fiction? What do you think he will be remembered for?
He'll be remembered mainly for his tie-ins, but he was a prolific science-fiction writer and wrote many works of non-fiction. My favourite book is his last, published after his death, called The Nightmare Whisperers. It was first started in the 50s, forgotten about until I found out about it in 2010 and at my insistence, urged him to finish it. The book is dedicated to me and says: 'For Johnny Mains, a staunch friend who still works tirelessly in the cause of we fantasists of the old tradition.' Needless to say I cried when my copy came through the post.

Although it's really not appropriate for this forum, I just so proud of my wife I had to share it with my RTF "family!" My wife's first novel is being released tomorrow afternoon (9/12/13). It'll be available on Amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble and other booksellers starting Friday (although both Amazon and B&N have confusing info on their websites), but I think you can pre-order on Amazon.com starting today. Amazon won't be able to ship until probably at least next Monday, but I think it's worth the wait! "There's No Such Thing As Ordinary Women" by Teresa Raley (or "Teri" Raley on B&N). If ordering from a B&N bookstore, they can search it with the ISBN number 978-0-9560795-9-6.
Once again, I know this ain't about dogs and training and testing and hunting, but Teri is, after all, Sadie's "mommy" and we're both as proud as we can be of her!

Bar Stool Dimension: 15.1"W 15.1"D 25.2"HFinish: Black Material: Metal Leg Set of 2 Modern Black Bar Stools.
Adjustable Barstool 3/28/2015
Looked like a quality product so far.
Exactly what I was looking for 12/8/2014
I was waiting for quite some time to buy the stools for my kitchen and this was the right product. My kids love it and swivel in the stool, and it makes them happy. Packaging was perfect and had enough stuffing inside. Love it. Soft cushion helps with staying in the chair for longer period of time.
Great product. Very good quality. 12/3/2014
The product was easy to put together. And it is very sturdy and of very good quality.
Excellent item 11/21/2014
Very easy to use and very comfortable
You get what you pay for 7/15/2014
Misleading product description lead me to believe these would be tall enough for my needs. Sadly, no.
But they look good and were cheap. Not as sturdy as the four-legged type of stool. Hope they last, but I'm not counting on it.
Excellent Product for less price 11/28/2013
This is an excellent product that fits prefectly into my bar table for less price.
Good Value Item 11/7/2013J-Zoe from Seattle, WA
Nice price, easy to put together, looks good and works fine. Note that there is a cap to be removed from the piston before putting the seat and base together--I didn't see the small notation in the parts list and put it together without removing it. Quick fix to remove the seat section and it easily popped out. I would buy these again.
Cheap made product 9/25/2013Joe from Tampa FL
It looked good in the picture, but not in real life. Very uncomfortable and cheaply made . I will not recommend to anyone.
Nice Chairs - Great Price! 9/24/2013mgg from Montgomery, Texas
They were very easy to assemble and very nice for the price. I'm a big person and they hold me fine and comfortable. They can completely swivel 360 degrees and can adjust in height to be used as a regular chair. I'm quite pleased. Thanks.
very good deal 9/24/2013bob from cupertino,CA.
look very nice,cheap price but good quality
Good buy 9/5/2013
Very ez to assemble, light and sturdy.
Good Value 8/31/2013Roy from Danbury TX
The bar stools are a good value. They seem a little top heavy.
THESE DAY THE PRICE IS LOWER ON LINE 8/28/2013MINHAO WANG from ORADELL ,NJ
Great stools at a great price! 8/23/2013
This was a great buy. Very easily assembled and good quality, especially for the price.
Barstools 8/22/2013
Item as stated; well packed; delivered on schedule;
Great look, easy assembly 8/22/2013
We received this item very quickly and it only took a few minutes to assemble the two chairs, each comprised of just three parts using a total of four screws with supplied Allen wrench. And they look great at the kitchen bar. Very stable with the broad base.
Good value 8/21/2013
Nice product for that money. Can't beat it. Only complaint is screws for seat cushion being a little too long
Bar stools 8/21/2013
Item was as advertised & well worth the price.
Bar stools for work 8/21/2013Pete from Glenville, NY
I work at a stand up desk on computers all day and these bar stools allow me to periodically sit down at an excellent height for continuing my work.
Fast Shipping to say the least! 8/20/2013
Great product and fast shipping!
Versatile, but mediocre quality 8/20/2013Rick from Destin, FL
I purchased these stools because they appeared to be versatile (in terms of height) so that I could use them as extra stools at the bar or around a standard table. They will work but not sure how long they will last. Be sure to remove the cap from the stand before lowering the seat on to the rod.
Excellent Vendor & Product 8/20/2013
Ordered on Monday, delivered on Wednesday. Well packed and easy to assemble.
Best for the money 6/12/2013Cliff Gibbs from Rock Hill SC
I like the stools, light, strong, slides easily on vinyl floors. seat swivels easily. and the best is the seat turns 360 degrees.
Great item for small space 5/17/2013Cheryl from Mooresville, NC
The item streamlines the space I needed it for and I do like it very much.
Excellant 5/9/2013William from Madison, Alabama
Great bargain, easy to assemble, and works great.
buy them if you are even slightly interested! 4/27/2013
these stools are great! they work like butter and are comfortable as well as looking good. when people come over they think i have spent hundreds on them, but haha! they were sooo cheap! not cheapo in quality, but cheap in price. i ordered more. i recommend them!
The screw is too long. 4/15/2013Joe from Riverside CA
After I assembled it, I find that the screw is too long. You can feel four spot from the surface. I feel the surface will be broken by screws very soon. The washer may be required.
Great stools 4/8/2013
Well worth the money. Good looking and sturdy.
Contemporary look for this price, unbelievable 4/7/2013Ram from Hillsboro, OR
Great look, prompt shipping, easily can be fixed and the price unbeatable for what you get.
Good product and fast shipment 4/7/2013
Good product as advertised and fast shipment
Value Buy 4/3/2013Kelvin from Needham, MA
Look contemporary and easy to assembly. Thanks to the seller for a terrific product!
Happy Customer 4/3/2013
I bought 4 bar stools. Each has black seat and chrome stand and base with movable side handle to easily change the height. They are sleek, nice looking and practical. I bought them for my six foot counter in my kitchen and it works for me! Now they are new and I certainly hope they remain in good condition for a long while.
Awesome build, comfy and fully featured. 4/1/2013MrGrave from Albuquerque, NM
Great value at less than 50 bucks, GO for it.
these are very lightweight semi-cheap feeling chai 4/1/2013
These chairs look as nice in person as they do in the photo, but they are very light weight cheap feeling chairs. They'll do, but i wouldn't pay more than $50 a set.
Great Deal! Cant pass it up! 4/1/2013Steve S. from Costa Mesa, CA
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these bar stools. You could easily expect to pay double for each stool much less the great deal you get when you order the 2. Delivery was fast. Assembly was super simple. Stools are working out great!
Comfy and low profile 4/1/2013
The chairs went together within minutes and are quite comfy despite not having a back. The fit in nicely with my kitchen as well.
Bar Stools 4/1/2013Tom from Mishawaka
great deal.
barstools work great! 3/31/2013
product was as described.
great bar chair 3/31/2013
functional and nice looking
Super deal 3/31/2013
Chairs are good looking and performs well above their value.
Visiondecor Furniture 3/27/2013Sanjay from Cypress
One of the chair lever was broken and both the chair levers are not working. I am not at all happy about the product as the levers are not working and the chair seat comes out when I try to life the bar stool. Aslo it cannot be used as a bar stool as whenever a person sits on it, it slides down to the height of a regular stool.
Great Chairs 1/2/2013
Very easy to assemble and work great!!!
great buy 12/26/2012
For the price you pay, you can't go wrong with these bar stools. And even free shipping included. Fast shipping, also easy to assemble
Unblievable price with free shipping 12/25/2012
I saw the same item sold in local stores costs as high as double. So I ordered it right away. If you have successfully assembled furniture from IKEA, it's a piece of cake putting this together without instructions. Though the assembly can't be more simpler, it could have made it more clearer by adding written notes instead of confusing statements about return policy and ebay ranking. The stool itself has no problem.
Great bar stool for the price 12/21/2012J from Cary, IL
Great set of barstools. Look great and very easy to assemble. Worth every penny.
Great Buy!! 12/21/2012Yash from Fairview heights, IL
For $50 it's an absolute steal.
Don't delay buy these today 12/14/2012Carol from NB CT
Great stools, fantastic price, easy to assemble, love, love ,love these!
Very nice looking stools 12/6/2012Santa from NJ
Awesome with the performance and look and feeling of these stools... the push up and down is quite strong and looks nicely built... Very happy for what I paid.
excellent chairs 12/4/2012Suki from Brooklyn, NY
Very comfortable bar stool, Take less than 2 minutes from box to be ready to use . Make sure to take the black cap out before attaching the pole together. My son is 200+ lb and still very comfortable on it. Don't know will it last only time will tell. BTW got 2 and love it so much, got an other 2 to make a set.

I do not get paid extra for this, but the time it saves allows us to to do our jobs in less time. I would encourage folks in the SMB market to let the smart guys (that have been there a while) take a few hours to automate some things that will save people time. If a long drawn out procedure can be automated and require less attention it is going to profit the company.

It's interesting that Microsoft has long been strong-arming hardware vendors into REQUIRING that they sell their machines with an OS(oh, any OS is fine *wink* *wink*). Now apparently they want to make sure you can't take Windows off of the device. This isn't so different from encrypted bootloaders on android devices.
Now that these mobile devices have advanced to being full blown computers in every sense of the word, they are still not referred to as such. They are not even referred to and single-purpose/special-purpose computers. They are referred to as consumer electronic devices or mobile phones. People are used to consumer electronics and mobile phones being proprietary devices, this is normal and accepted. There is still the pervasive idea that with desktop computer or a notebook computer that the machine is the PROPERTY of the OWNER of the machine. "This is my machine and you can't tell me what I can or can't put on it."
They idea of buying a laptop computer that you cannot, WILL NOT, run anything but the operating system shipped with it is just weird. If people aren't thinking of the device as a computer, but merely a telephone or a gadget, this idea doesn't seem weird at all.

Boost flavors of fish and chicken with a marinade that goes together in minutes.
As a general rule, marinate fish fillets, seafood and vegetables about 30 minutes, pork chops and chicken at least 1 hour and larger meat cuts up to 24 hours. Turn the food once or twice during marinating time, so the marinade can reach all surfaces.
To use the leftover marinade as a sauce, boil it 1 minute to destroy any bacteria that may have been transferred back and forth when the marinade was brushed on the uncooked meat.

Occupy Oakland Shuts Down the PortPhotos from the Occupy Oakland general strike march.
Thousands of people gathered in downtown, answering Occupy Oakland's call for a general strike. Protesters marched to the Port of Oakland with the goal of shutting down the Port—not letting any cargo enter or leave. After gathering at one of the Port's main entrances, protesters marched throughout the Port, leaving small groups behind, blocking each terminal entrance. Aside from a late incident of an irritated driver hitting two protesters, it was a peaceful march, with the police, for the most part, staying out of sight.

November jobs report: 146,000 jobs added, jobless rate drops to 7.7%, workforce declines again
posted at 8:36 am on December 7, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
The US got a better November than some had expected in the job markets — but only in the top line numbers. The economy added 146,000 jobs, better than expected if still a status quo result, and the jobless rate declined to 7.7%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Hurricane Sandy ended up having little impact on employment over the month. However, the work force declined again and drifted back to generational-low numbers:
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 146,000 in November, and the unemployment rate edged down to 7.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in retail trade, professional and business services, and health care.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the Northeast coast on October 29th, causing severe damage in some states. Nevertheless, our survey response rates in the affected |states were within normal ranges. Our analysis suggests that Hurricane Sandy did not substantively impact the national employment and unemployment estimates for November.
The unemployment rate edged down to 7.7 percent in November. The number of unemployed persons, at 12.0 million, changed little. (See table A-1.)
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.2 percent), adult women (7.0 percent), teenagers (23.5 percent), whites (6.8 percent), and Hispanics (10.0 percent) showed little or no change in November. The unemployment rate for blacks (13.2 percent) declined over the month. The jobless rate for Asians was 6.4 percent (not seasonally adjusted), little changed from a year earlier. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
The U-6 figure also dropped by two-tenths of a point to 14.4%, its lowest level all year. However, the seasonally-adjusted labor force dropped by 350,000, and the civilian labor force participation rate also dropped two-tenths of a point to 63.6%, almost at the 31-year low hit in August. The employment-population ratio dropped by one-tenth of a percent to 58.7%.
In other words, America isn't going back to work. Americans are still dropping out of the work force.
Update: The topline number comes from the Establishment Survey, but the Population Survey shows a loss of 122,000 jobs, seasonally adjusted, from October (143,384K to 143,262K).
Update: CNBC's Jeff Cox is pretty excited by these results:
The U.S. economy created 146,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate slid to 7.7 percent, in a report much better than economists had expected.
Despite the effects from Superstorm Sandy, the jobs engine continued to run, albeit slowly.
But Cox notes the "puzzling contradictions":
The report had some puzzling contradictions, particularly in its assertion that Sandy "did not substantively impact" the jobs count for November.
Also, the drop in the unemployment rate appeared to reflect a continued exodus of workers from the labor force.
The labor force participation rate, already around 30-year lows, fell further in the month to 63.6 percent.
I'd say that the problems between the two surveys continue to be reflected in the topline numbers. The bottom line is that a smaller percentage of working-age Americans have jobs and are participating in the workforce, and that's a big, big problem as we head into the Christmas retail season and the fiscal cliff that will come afterward.

Results 1 to 4 of 4
I am thinking of starting a trophous tank
I have a 45 gallon bow front tank that I want to change from a Malawi community tank to a Tangayika tank. Do I really have to put sand in it or can I just use the gravel that I already have? The gravel is black. I want to get about 6 trophous moori muzzles and a small school of Lupies. Is this a good pairing. I am getting some mixed opinions from some local aquarist. I have a 90 gallon Malawi setup in the basement. Also is having a power head really worth it?
The tropheus' will probably need to be kept in a larger group size than just 6 and in that regard may require an aquarium larger than a 45gal. I've never kept lupies before so I'm not sure what their requirements are.
You can keep the existing substrate (I personally prefer sand and when used in conjuction with a powerhead I find that it's easier to keep clean).
The added circulation that a powerhead provides can help prevent waste from accumulating on (or in the case with gravel, under) the substrate, and enhance the waste removal efficiency of the filters (by keeping waste suspended in the water column for removal). Powerheads are optional though.African cichlid and saltwater aquariums
I wouldn't personally recommend that mix. The lupies may end up bullying in the trophs as they are highly aggressive in my experience.
More importantly, their dietary needs are rather different. Trophs suffer badly from bloat if they get too much protein so they need a high veg diet with hopefully some algae for them to graze on.
Im afraid that wont work. Mainly for food reasons. Trophs are specialty fish that need a special tank setup. They need a species only tank where you can have a large school, 75g+. Plus they need a high light setup so they can graze on the algae that grows on the rocks. They are strictly vegetarians and will die if fed "normal" food.
In your situation I would keep and handful of leluepi, maybe a couple Julidochromis, and then a couple Calvus/Comps. Much more compatible and just as cool.
Power-heads are nice but not necessary for tangs if you have a good filter. And while they can technically live on gravel in no way do I recommend it. Never have I seen fish that use sand more than my tangs. All of my tanks have sand but in most of them its just an aesthetic thing, not for them. They have rebuilt the thing from the ground up, mounds, ditches, caves, tunnels, the whole nine yards. All been redone to their specifications Allot of fun to watch
