melinda L. Young, md, DLFAPA CANDIDATE, 2019 AREA 6 (California) TRUSTEE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION
Being an effective Area 6 Trustee is like being a good cook - it takes more than following a recipe.
I know what members want and need from their membership in the APA. From long experience - with District Branches, State Associations, and the APA itself - I know how to get it done, either through existing channels or, when necessary, by effectively challenging the system.
I am a tireless advocate for members. I'm not afraid of taking a controversial stand in my advocacy for members.
What is the APA's Board of Trustees? And What Does the Board Do?
I’ve been asked by both RFMs and more seasoned members to explain the function of APA’s Board of Trustees, why it matters to the APA, and why the election of a Trustee to the Board makes a difference:
The APA is “run” by its Board of Trustees (which might be called the Board of Directors at other organizations), as are all nonprofit corporations. The Board manages the affairs of the APA, including formulating and implementing policy and the determination of fiscal policies and issues.
Work Groups of the Board address various topics of importance, e.g., the role of psychiatry in healthcare reform, recommendations for psychiatric training now and in the future, strategic planning for the APA for the next five years, etc. The Board made the decision to move forward with DSM-5, approved its development of work groups and committees, and read and approved the final product (having made substantial changes to the original work).
The Board makes the final determination on all policy and Policy Statements from the APA (both to publish and to retire), e.g., “Position Statement on Firearm Access, Acts of Violence and the Relationship to Mental Illness and Mental Health Services”, which was adopted in 2014.
The Board has the final determination on how involved APA will become in Federal legislative issues [e.g. the “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act” from Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) and Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX)] as well as state legislative issues, including providing funding and staff support for District Branches and State Associations fighting unsafe prescribing or violations of the parity law. The Board recently approved the expansion of the Department of Government Relations to include a division solely addressing state legislative issues, with the addition of 4 new staff members, each addressing state issues in one of four quadrants of the APA.
The Board determines whether APA will become involved in judicial issues, joining with District Branches and State Associations (e.g., the lawsuit in which APA has joined the Connecticut Psychiatric Society, taken against Anthem Blue Cross for parity violations).
The Board weighed in on Maintenance of Certification in March 2015, voting to support elimination of Part IV (Performance in Practice), recommending to the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) that it advocate for the elimination of Part IV of MOC to its own parent organization, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and reaffirming the APA’s commitment to lifelong learning and quality improvement as well as support for the highest scientific and ethical standards of medical practice. A joint Board-Assembly Work Group on MOC was created.
The Board of Trustees also determines all fiscal issues for the APA, including membership dues, pricing for annual meetings, and grants and other fiscal support for the District Branches and State Associations. Additionally, the Board also approves funding for various conferences and trainings, including the recent State Advocacy Conference held in October, that trained members from 44 states on the specifics of legislative work addressing scope of practice and parity.
Who Sits on the APA's Board of Trustees?
Who sits on the APA’s Board of Trustees really matters.
There are only 20 voting members on the Board, so each person’s opinion and vote makes a difference. A Board member must know the issues (Board preparation packets range from about 400 pages to in excess of 700 pages), know what is important to members, and must effectively advocate for members, either through existing channels or, when necessary, by effectively challenging the system.
The Make Up of the APA’s Board of Trustees:
Five nationally elected Board members:
Three most recent Past Presidents of the APA Seven Area Trustees (one from each of the seven Areas of the APA, including Area 6) One Trustee each from the:
Early Career Psychiatrists
Minority and Under-Represented Groups within the APA
Speaker and Speaker-Elect of the APA Assembly

A good book is a tool that operates on your mind.
It reshapes it by updating, adding, and removing concepts.
它以更新 增添 移除成见的方式重塑思想
You see the world through your concepts,
and when they change, the way you see the world changes.
So recommending a book is like recommending a tool:
it’s impossible to do without knowing the job a person is trying to accomplish.
Here are some principles that I use for selecting a book to read.
(1) Find a gripping question.
What’s the mystery that you wish you could solve?
Really dig deep, and develop this question.
Write it all out if you need to.
What keeps you up at night?
Pose a hypothesis to the question; predict an answer.
Let the question be your guide.
Find books that grapple with it or ones that explore your hypothesis.
The writer’s journey becomes your journey.
The book will give you new concepts and words
to navigate towards an answer, a better question,
or a more refined hypothesis.
You’ll find the book interesting and rewarding
because you’re the one that posed the question.
(2) A good book should teeter on the edge of
what you do and don’t know.
Science shows us that
we learn most effectively when we build on top of what we already know.
A book on calculus will be meaningless
if you’ve never studied the lower levels of math.
A book is a tool:
it needs something to work on.
By building new knowledge onto old,
a good book allows you to expand beyond what you once were.
It serves as a bridge between two versions of yourself.
(3) A good book should subject you to evolution.
A good book is like a hammer or a screwdriver:
it has the capacity to destroy and dismantle,
but it also has the capacity to build, reconstruct, and augment.
It will destroy the weakest parts of you,
retain the truest parts,
and build stronger parts on top of that.
How do you find a book that can destroy you and rebuild you in this way?
The easiest method is
to find books that have survived the process of evolution themselves.
Books that have been around and praised by culture for a long time
are often worth paying attention to.
Culture has repeatedly decided that
these concepts were worth preserving,
so they must be very adaptive or useful.
Another method is to find writers
who subject their own ideas to evolution before putting them into books.
They let time and experience kill off parts of the idea
and allow for new parts to grow.
They make the idea adaptive and
mold it into the shape of truth.
Isn’t truth that which survives in any space and at any time?
Scientists are really good at this.
They take their theories and run them through empirical tests
that allow them to be reshaped by reality.
their theories die and are reborn stronger and stronger every-time.
The works of a good scientist, philosopher, or artist
are worth reading for this reason:
they’ve already been refined and subjected to evolution.
The final method would be
to find books that can give you new experiences.
Experience a point of view that you never have before.
Step into someone else’s shoes and
subject yourself to their environment.
Examine the parts of you that hold up and the parts which crumble.
You may be surprised to find
that ideas you believed to be true
fall apart in a different environment.
I think that following these principles
will help you find books that will change your life:
(1) Find a question that grips you.
(2) Find a book that explores the question
and teeters on the edge of what you do and don’t know.
(3) Find a book that has undergone a rigorous evolutionary process,
so you can familiarize yourself with ideas and concepts that won’t die.
You guys have asked me for some book recommendations,
but that’s hard to do without knowing your goals.
Instead, I’ll put forward some questions
that have been interesting to me and the corresponding books
that have helped me progress towards a clearer answer.
(1) What would happen if we had no emotions?
— Descartes’ Error by Antonio Damasio
(2) How do emotions work?
— How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett
(3) What are the limits of the scientific method?
— Black Swan by Nassim Taleb
(4) Why is behaviour so hard to change?
— Behave by Robert Sapolsky
(5) Why are politics and religion so divisive?
— The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt
(6) Is there more to life than pleasure or happiness?
— Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
(7) What might a world in which pleasure is the highest good look like?
— Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
(8) What is man?
— Homo Prospectus by Martin Seligman et al.
(9) What is personality?
How can I think about the self?
— Who Are You, Really? by Brian R. Little
(10) What is the nature of the culture that I am surrounded in?
— Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder
(11) What truly matters at the end of life?
— When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Now, I’m not saying any of
these books contain the answers to these questions,
but if you’re interested in these questions,
you might like these books.
I believe it’s better to chart your own path
than to follow my own anyways.
I like to hear what you guys think as well,
Recommend some books to me in the comments and questions
that you think the answer.

I love Mulan. What Chinese girl doesn't? But what exactly happened to Mulan, after she relinquished her position in the army and went home?
How exactly was she supposed to settle back into domestic life, after spending 12 years as a soldier? Could she actually find peace in her heart after going through a decade of endless battles?
This painting is what I imagine how she felt. Even in a peaceful garden she was still at war inside. You can take soldier out of the battlefield, you can't take the battle out of the soldier.

These are the powerful and entirely valid feelings that public-health guidance will run up against when Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas arrive. Many people will, unlike Segura, act on those feelings, and it could be dangerous when they do so during the same roughly monthlong stretch of time.
How many people will leave home is an important question. In a typical year, about 50 million Americans travel at least 50 miles from home for Thanksgiving, according to AAA. In this atypical year, it’s not yet clear how large that number will be. On one hand, a survey from Morning Consult in early September found that just under half of Americans are scrapping their usual plans for holiday gatherings. And Gary Leff, a blogger who follows the airline industry closely, told me that based on airport foot traffic this year, he expects the number of flyers during Thanksgiving and Christmas to be
It begins to look a lot like Christmas when twinkling lights brighten up homes inside and out. Few things liven up the season more than holiday decorations, particularly clear and colored lights. Prior to taking out the lights, ladder and thermos of coffee to get you through the job, it’s important to note that there are right and wrong ways to hang holiday lights.
• Sketch out your plan. Start by taking a few photos of your home from various vantage points. Print out the photos on regular paper so that you can draw your lighting arrangement and decoration placement right on the photos to see how things will look.
• Measure the area. Use a measuring tape to roughly measure the width and height of eaves or other areas of the home where you plan to hang light strands. Calculate how much overall footage you will need
People have spent more time at home in 2020 than they likely have in years past. This has provided homeowners with plenty of time to ponder potential upgrades to their homes. After taking inventory of their lifestyles, surroundings and furnishings, people have embarked on construction projects or home interior design renovations in record numbers. Holiday gifts that cater to projects around the house are likely to be highly valued this holiday season. Here are some ideas for home improvement-related gifts.
• Home improvement retailer gift card: Home improvement centers are one-stop shopping for do-it-yourselfers. To help offset the cost of supplies, gift-givers can give a gift card to a neighborhood hardware store.
• Magazine subscription: There are plenty of ideas on the internet, but a subscription to a home remodeling or interior design magazine puts inspiration right in homeowners’ hands. Pages can be marked or cut out and
‘Staycation’ has been the word of the year, thanks to coronavirus restrictions throwing international travel plans into disarray. From UK campsites to brilliant breaches in Wales; many of us have taken the opportunity to explore holiday destinations and travel opportunities a little closer to home.
And yet closer to hope doesn’t always mean more affordable – you only have to look at some of the luxury accommodation in Devon and Cornwall to know staying near home can cost a fortune. Which is where these cheap holidays in the UK come in. Planning starts here!

(RTTNews) – Home improvement retailer Home Depot (HD), is taking a different approach this holiday season as it will offer Black Friday discounts for two months, beginning in early November through December.
Usually, the retailer offers the deep discounts annually on the Friday after Thanksgiving. However, instead of a single day, Home Depot will offer its discounts for two months this year.
The retailer in statement said customers can enjoy stress-free shopping this holiday season, as the company is reinventing Black Friday shopping keeping in mind the safety and wellbeing of customers during the COVID-19 period.
The deals will be available both in its stores and online, however, mobile app users will get exclusive early access to some discounts in November.
Home Depot will keep its stores closed on Thanksgiving day. Other retailers, including Walmart (WMT), have also announced they will not open this year on the holiday.

Home Depot on Wednesday previewed its 2020 holiday shopping season — adapted to pandemic times, when crowds are taboo but customers still want deals.
Among the changes, the home improvement retailer said in a post on its website that Black Friday specials will stretch on for nearly two months, rather than take place on a single day. It will collaborate with Pinterest to inspire a different kind of DIY project: Making meaningful, homemade gifts. And it will nudge customers toward its mobile app by putting promotions there first.
The company emphasized an option that could gain greater popularity this year, though it was available in years past: Getting a fresh Christmas tree delivered to a customer’s doorstep.

US 4666237 A
An optical fibre termination is machined to provide a locating surface having improved concentricity with a therein-mounted optical fibre by more accurately locating the optical fibre at the rotational center of a machining tool. Light transmitted through the optical fibre is monitored while the termination is adjusted, in response to such monitoring, to accurately coincide with the rotational machining axis.
1. A method of making an optical fibre termination having a locating surface which is concentric with an optical fibre mounted therein, said method comprising the steps of:
inserting an end of said optical fibre into a sleeve member having an axial through bore,
securing the optical fibre end within the bore of the sleeve member, thereby to provide a fibre termination,
mounting the fibre termination in a rotatable clamping device of a machining tool,
transmitting light through the fibre so as to produce a light beam emerging from said fibre end,
adjusting the rotatable clamping member until rotation thereof produces a stationary light beam defining an axis, and
machining the locating surface about the axis defined by the stationary light beam.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the locating surface is machined to be cylindrical.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which light is tramsmitted through the fibre core.
4. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the fibre is a monomode fibre.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the sleeve member comprises an optical fibre connector ferrule.
6. A method as claimed in any claim 1 in which the light beam is observed by electronic imaging means.
7. A fibre termination made according to the method of any one of the claims 1 to 6.
8. A monomode fiber termination mode according to the method of any one of the claims 1 to 6.
9. A fibre termination as claimed in claim 7 comprising a cylindrical locating surface.
10. An optical fibre connector comprising at least one optical fibre termination having a locating surface provided in accordance with the method of any one of claims 1 to 6.
11. A method for accurately machining a cylindrical locating surface on an optical fibre termination which is concentric with an optical fibre having one end mounted therewithin, said method comprising the steps of:
mounting said optical fibre termination within a lathe having a rotational center;
passing light through said optical fibre and out the end thereof which is mounted within said termination;
adjusting the relative location of said termination within said lathe until the light exiting from said optical fibre is coincident with said rotational center of the lathe; and
machining, with said lathe, said cylindrical locating surface.
12. A method as in claim 11 wherein said adjusting step comprises:
rotating said termination while mounted in said lathe;
monitoring the locus of light exiting from said optical fibre during said rotating step; and
adjusting the relative location of the termination within the lathe until said locus is substantially stationary.
13. An optical fibre termination manufactured in accordance with the method of claim 11 or 12 having an outer cylindrical locating surface which is concentric with the therein-mounted end of an optical fibre.
This invention relates to optical fibre terminations. The invention relates in particular to optical fibre terminations, and methods of and apparatus for making such terminations, in which an optical fibre end is located concentrically with a locating surface of a sleeve member.
Terminations of optical fibres in which the end of an optical fibre is mounted in a sleeve member are frequently used, for example, in optical fibre connectors. Optical fibre connectors are understood herein to include connectors for connecting the ends of a pair of optical fibres, as well as connectors which serve to connect an end of an optical fibre to another optical component, e.g. a laser light source or a detector. In optical fibre connectors correct optical alignment of the two fibre cores, or of the fibre core and the beam axis of the optical component, is an essential requirement if undue attenuation and degradation of optical transmission in the connector is to be avoided. Both the alignment of the optical fibre core with another fibre core and the alignment of an optical fibre core with other optical components will be referred to hereinafter for the sake of brevity as fibre alignments and related terms are to be understood accordingly.
In principle, the most convenient way of ensuring correct fibre alignment could be provided by securing the fibre end in a cylindrical sleeve, whose outer cylinder surface is concentric with the core of the fibre, and transferring the alignment function to the outer cylinder surface. In practice, however, serious difficulties present themselves, and these difficulties are especially acute in the case of monomode fibres in which the core is only a few micrometers in diameter and where, consequently misalignment of only a micrometer or two can cause serious transmission losses. A variety of methods have been proposed in the past for aligning the fibre core with the axis of the cylindrical sleeve.
One approach is to machine a sleeve to its final external dimensions and subsequently insert the fibre into an axially extending through-bore of the sleeve. Thereafter the fibre is aligned with the cylinder axis and is secure in the aligned position by means of a hard setting, preferably adhesive, compound such as epoxy-resin or the like.
Another approach is intended to overcome one of the major problems with the method just referred to, which is decentering of the fibre due to non-uniform shrinkage of the compound during setting. It involves inserting and setting the fibre end approximately at the centre of the ferrule and machining the outside of the ferrule, after the compound has set, to be concentric with the fibre by the method disclosed in an article entitled "New Coupling Techniques for Single Mode-Optical Fibre Transmission System" by G. Khoe, published by Optical Communications Conferences, 5th European Conference on Optical Communications, 2nd International Conference on Integrated Optics and Optical Fibre Communications, Amsterdam Sept. 17-19, 1979 pp 6.1-1 to 6.1-4.
The present invention is based on the appreciation that the axis about which to machine a locating surface of a sleeve member for an optical fibre termination, can be defined very conveniently by a beam of light emerging from the core at the fibre end.
Accordingly, a method of providing an optical fibre termination having a locating surface of a sleeve member concentric with the fibre core at an optical fibre end, comprises the steps of inserting the optical fibre end into the sleeve, securing the optical fibre end within the sleeve, mounting the resulting fibre termination in a rotatable clamping device of a machining tool, transmitting light through the fibre core so as to produce a light beam emerging therefrom at said fibre end, observing the light beam, adjusting the clamping device until rotation thereof produces a stationary light beam, and machining a locating surface concentric with the axis defined by the stationary light beam.
It will be readily appreciated that, as long as the fibre does not lie exactly on the axis of rotation of the clamping member, the emerging light beam with itself trace out a circle centred about the axis of rotation.
It should be noted that the pressure exerted by the cutting or grinding tool on the rotating ferrule during machining may result in a deflection of the beam which, however, is reversible and ceases on cessation of the pressure.
The locating surface is preferably cylindrical.
The optical fibre end is conveniently mounted in the sleeve by a hard-setting, usually organic, compound.
The invention will now be described further by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a schematic longitudinal section through a machine tool arrangement for carrying out the present invention.
Referring now also to the drawing, an optical fibre cable 1 terminates and is secured in an axial bore of ferrule 2. The optical fibre cable consists of an outer sheath 1b which terminates in a rear portion of the ferrule 2, and an optical fibre 1a. The optical fibre 1a extends forwardly from the rear portion 2a of the ferrule and terminates in the plane of the end face 4 of the ferrule 2. The optical fibre is rigidly located in the bore of the ferrule 2 by means of a hard setting compound 3, for example epoxy-resin or light curable dental adhesive. The forward portion 2b of the ferrule 2 ending in the end plane 4 is bounded by a surface 6 which, when machined, provides the cylindrical locating surface of the ferrule.
To machine the outer cylindrical surface 6 the ferrule 2 is mounted on a precision lathe, schematically illustrated as having a chuck 8, four jaws (of which only two, 7a and 7b, are shown) and a hollow head spindle 9. The head spindle 9 is chosen to have an internal diameter large enough to permit the ferrule to be passed through the spindle for mounting in the chuck 8. With the ferrule 2 mounted in the chuck 8, the optical fibre cable 1 passes through the hollow head spindle 9 to a former, or reel, 10 onto which the remaining length of the optical fibre is wound. The former 10 is mounted so as to rotate in synchronism with the spindle 9. A light source 13 is provided adjacent to end 11 of the optical fibre, the end 11 being the end of the fibre 1a remote from the ferrule 2.
The axis about which to machine the surface 6 for it to be concentric with the end 5 of the fibre 1a, is found by shining light into the end 11 of the fibre. The light is transmitted by the fibre, more particularly by the core of the fibre, and emerges as a beam of light at the end 5 of the fibre 1a. The chuck 8, and hence the ferrule 2, are then rotated. Any offset of the fibre end 5 from the axis of rotation of the chuck 8 is detected, conveniently by means of a microscope (not shown) by viewing in the direction of the arrow 14. With offset, the light emerging from the fibre end of 5 traces out a circle whose centre lies on the axis of rotation. By suitably adjusting the jaws the ferrule 2 is moved across the chuck 8 until rotation of the chuck 8 results in a stationary point of light emerging from the fibre end 5. It will be readily appreciated that in this position ferrule 2 now rotates about an axis which coincides with the fibre end 5. A grinding or cutting tool 12, when brought into contact with the surface 6 of the ferrule will, on rotation of the chuck 8, effect machining of the surface 6 concentrically with the optical fibre end 5.
In order to facilitate observation, electronic imaging techniques may be employed for observation of the light beam emerging from the fibre.
It should be noted here that in practice a jaw arrangement as illustrated in the drawing will frequently prove insufficiently precise to permit exact positioning of the ferrule 2 and recourse to clamping arrangements such as, for example, collets, may be necessary. However, including in the drawing the details of a practical precision lathe arrangement, employing for example, collets rather than moveable jaws, is considered to detract from the principles of the present invention which the drawing is intended to illustrate.
The ferrule 2 itself, illustrated in the drawing as a straight sided cylinder, will, in practice, often include flanges, stops and the like, for example, to limit insertion of the ferrule into a socket (not shown).
Connector ferrules made in accordance with the invention have been found to provide sufficiently accurate concentricity for use with monomode fibres, and have been successfully employed in optical fibre connectors of the kind described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 555,077, "Connectors", filed Nov. 25th, 1983.

In the 1980s, Providence was a textbook case of urban decay. What a century earlier had been a thriving seafaring and manufacturing town, was rotting at its core. Things began to change with an urban renewal project that restored a paved-over river system and buried railroad tracks. Public funds built a Westin Hotel and a convention center. But what really made the area a destination was Providence Place, a three-level, 1.4 million-square-foot mall that opened four years ago.
True, the renaissance isn't complete. Fancy apartments are rising down the street from buildings where faded signs advertise “exotic dancers.” Grand old cast iron buildings beg for renovation. “But it's changing every day,” says my niece, Jenna, a Providence resident.
Jenna is 22 and a member of Gen-Y. Providence is teeming with her cohorts, thanks to an abundance of universities, including Brown, Rhode Island School of Design, Johnson & Wales and a campus of the University of Rhode Island. In fact, some 245,000 of metropolitan Providence's 973,700 residents are under 20.
A few years ago, most of the Gen-Y gang would never have ventured downtown on a spring afternoon. Now they're here in abundance, thanks to Providence Place, which attracts shoppers from as far away as Boston, 45 miles to the north. Nordstrom, Filene's and Lord & Taylor anchor the light and airy center.
It took more than 15 years and a series of developers to get the mall built. The idea for an in-town mall for Providence was first conceived in 1985 by Conroy Development Co. and Melvin Simon & Associates. Simon dropped out and Pyramid Management bought in. Finally, in 1996, Commonwealth Development, finished the project. Today, the center is bustling with 170 shops.
So, I asked Jenna to give me a tour. En route to the new H&M, she felt that the swankest stores — Coach and JasmineSola — are on the first floor, with the prices generally decreasing as you go up the escalator. Victoria's Secret, Forever 21 and Restoration Hardware are on two; Hot Topic, Steve Madden and Foxy Nails are on the top floor.
First we hit JasmineSola, where Jenna eyed a $120 pair of jeans. That's a lot of money for a recent grad, but she told me she has been considering buying them. “Sometimes, it seems more expensive clothes really are different,” she said. “The material, style and fit can be much better than cheaper clothes.”
Still unready to plunk down $120, Jenna took me upstairs to Forever 21, where she had recently purchased a cotton-spandex “clubbing shirt,” a new term for me. It has “style and personality,” she told me — great for a night out. H&M, which seems to be sprouting up everywhere, was also a fave, though my well-traveled niece told me she prefers the bigger outlet in New York's Soho.
Jenna moved to Providence to take a job with a labor union after spending a year studying in China. She thinks developers could learn some lessons from the Chinese. She liked that similar wares were in the same places. “There would be, say, flower row and it would go on forever,” she says. “Or home furnishings. Or fish.” Some of those ideas, I told her, are already coming to the U.S. (see cover story, p. 64).

Suspect nabbed, another wanted for allegedly stealing $10K worth of fragrances at Mall Del Norte
A man has been arrested and another is wanted for stealing about $10,000 in perfumes and colognes from a store at Mall Del Norte, according to Laredo police.
On Friday, Jorge Andres Bernal, 24, was served with an arrest warrant that charged him with theft.
The wanted suspect was identified as Ray Anthony Garza, 20.
To report his whereabouts, call police at 795-2800 or Laredo Crime Stoppers at 727-TIPS (8477). Information provided through Crime Stoppers may be eligible for a cash reward.
Three thefts recently took place at La Perfumeria at Mall Del Norte, LPD said. Two men allegedly entered the kiosk after closing hours and removed perfumes and colognes.
LPD's crimes against property detectives took over the case. Surveillance video showed the suspects committing the thefts, police said. On Jan. 20, mall security contacted LPD saying they had detained the suspects, who were identified as Bernal and Garza.
At LPD headquarters, they confessed to stealing the perfumes and colognes and selling them out on the street, according to police. Investigators later obtained warrants for their arrest.

Driver: David G. aka "Mitsu-Dave"
Car: 2003 Lancer OZ-Rally #114 NSTFMy first impressions...
So fifty some cars later, most of which being Mitsubishi's someone just randomly pointed me to VMSC as an alternative to the whole drag strip thing. My first event was this past weekend at the 28-29 July 2012 School and Autocross Race and i didn't know what to expect but i must say I'm impressed.
The whole weekend event was well done, well informed, well organized and tons of fun. There was a lot of reading material on the website that i was able to read and get up to speed on everything so i wouldn't show up completely lost. The pre-event emails were reassuring, and when i arrived that morning for the school i wasnt made to feel out of place or lost and confused.
I had the pleasure of getting Audie Chenery as my instructor for the day and although she was multi-tasking to keep everything on schedule, she was a great teacher and was able to show me a good couple of things that probably would have taken me a years worth of events to learn on my own. The highlight of what i learned was simply watching her attack the slalom. She kept telling me to do it faster and faster but i truly didn't understand what she meant till she got in the car and started whipping the rear of the car around the cones in a finesses i hadn't yet experienced in any fwd platform. That alone showed me what the car was capable of and what i needed to strive for.
The morning was a lot of fun and for any of the folks that attended, my lunch break wasn't at all what i expected. On my last run before the break i thought i felt something in the steering as i passed over the finish line but wasn't sure what exactly it was. So i took a slow ride down to the rest room after the run and on the way back i wanted to do a quick systems check. I swung the wheel left and then right only to have the car come to a screaming halt in the middle of the street. The bolt holding my hub onto the ball joint had come loose, the cross member fell out and my wheel took a sharp 90degree turn ripping my axle in two and simply making a mess of everything. But thanks to a bunch of the VMSC folks who lended me some tools, offered me some help, and even gave me a ride down to the auto parts store for a quick nut and bolt, i was able to not only get my what only looked like a totaled car fixed, but was able to finish up the day racing on the track as if nothing had ever happened. Jeff Chenery even took the car for a couple of laps around the track at the end of the day and gave me what i felt was a complement or two about the car and a couple of pointers which only added to my over all excitement.
Day two was the Sunday event and the turn out was bigger then i expected. Everything was well done and very professional. Heat twos announcer did a great job but was shadowed to the comical and extremely entertaining announcing of Heat 1 and 3. As for the event i can't think of anything i would have liked to seen done better other then maybe my own personal performance. I don't feel that i pushed the car as hard as i could have but for my first event i don't think i did too bad and at least i had some smooth runs other then an "Off Course Call" that put a puzzled look on my face for the rest of the day.
Over all VMSC did an out standing job on the entire weekend and in a single event just hooked me to the sport. It was worth every penny and you can definitively expect to see me at every future event i can get my hands on. Needless to say when Audrie asked if i wanted to join VMSC after the event i didn't hesitate.Special Thanks...
Special thanks to Jeff & Audie Chenery for all there hard work and personal advice and help, to the guys who lended me a hand when I broke my car, to the gentleman who gave me a ride to the store, to the hotdog vendor who gave me a free Gatorade when he saw how hard i was working to get my car fixed, to all the instructors who made it possible, to Elizabeth M. who was my course work partner Saturday and was great talking too, to David Ogburn who posted up some really nice event pics that included my car, and everyone who showed up and made it the best weekend of auto sports I've had in a long time.
Thanks again for everything and I'm already signed up and looking forward to the next event.

What is the mirror stage theory?
The mirror stage is based on the belief that infants recognize themselves in a mirror (literal) or other symbolic contraption which induces apperception (the turning of oneself into an object that can be viewed by the child from outside themselves) from the age of about six months.
What is a mirror illusion?
Mirror illusions is an illusion where an artist incorporates a mirror to provide a unique effect. Whether it’s turning an object upside-down, making someone look taller or shorter, or immersing yourself into infinity.
What is mirror stage and how does Lacan view its significance in the life of an individual?
The mirror phase occurs roughly between the ages of six and 18 months and corresponds to Freud’s stage of primary narcissism. That is the stage of human development when the subject is in love with the image of themselves and their own bodies and which precedes the love of others.
How do mirrors create illusions?
Placing identical large mirrors side by side can create the illusion of a wall of windows where there’s otherwise a plain wall. Placing a mirror of the same size between two windows can help light bounce around the room while also looking like another window.
What according to Mulvey’s essay is the mirror stage?
JAQUES LACAN AND THE MIRROR STAGE; In essence, the Mirror Stage, according to Lacan, refers to the moment in early childhood when the child perceives itself as an independent being. At some stage, generally between six and eighteen months, the child looks in the mirror and recognises itself.
Is mirror image an illusion?
This is termed the mirror illusion. This illusion encompasses a perceptual shift in body-part position from proprioceptive to visual feedback (that is, the image of the hand in the mirror) called proprioceptive drift.
What is the mirror effect called?
Often the front mirror of an infinity mirror is half-silvered (a so-called one way mirror), but this is not required to produce the effect. A similar appearance in artworks has been called the Droste effect.
What happens when a mirror reflects a mirror?
A reflection appears to be the same distance from the “other side” of the mirror as the viewer’s eyes are from the mirror. Also, when light is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite direction from which it hit.
How do you use the mirror effect?
Use the mirroring technique to control people. When you mirror opponents’ actions, doing as they do, they can’t figure out your strategy. Seduce people by mirroring their emotions and interests; create the illusion that you share their values. Few can resist when you reflect their deepest needs and desires.
What is the mirror stage Lacan?
Definition: Mirror Stage. MIRROR STAGE (Lacan) : The young child’s identification with his own image (what Lacan terms the “Ideal-I” or “ideal ego”), a stage that occurs anywhere from 6-18 months of age.

The domain adjustment problem in the context of product brands: does user-imagery allow a human-to-human comparison?
AbstractExtant literature on self-image congruence has not yet come up with an answer to the question of whether the structure of traits describing individual personality differences is identical with the structure of attributes in terms of which consumers compare themselves to typical brand users. Providing a conceptual and methodological review of the literature, this paper applies a peer-rating, psycholexical approach to test the congruence between the structure of personality-trait lexicon of a brand user with the structure of personality lexicon of the natural language. Results of analyses of the personality lexicon structure reveal that typical brand users are described using fewer dimensions than human personality. The study concludes that personality scales developed on the basis of lexical material including the consumer context, and complying with the psycholexical methodology derived from human personality study, can be applied to self-image congruence research.

On a daily basis, the body is exposed to toxins. Toxins are harmful to the body in many ways, but fortunately, there is a quick and easy way to reduce the amount of harmful elements in the body. ClearVite is a cheap and extremely effective cleansing and detoxifying product; it offers the body the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients it needs to operate efficiently.
The CR line of these delicious products has an incredibly tasty chocolate and raspberry flavored multivitamin that is completely enzyme based. It comes in the form of an herbal supplement and a mineral powder. The company also offers sample versions of this tasty vitamin for you to try at no charge.
When you make the commitment to take this nutritional supplement as a meal substitute, you will be making a choice that will allow your body to essentially restart itself and remove any toxins in the process. Because we are physically unable to develop enough antibodies to combat all the toxins we encounter every day, our bodies develop health issues and will degrade slowly. If you don’t take care of your body, these toxins will build up and can cause many health issues, such as cancer, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, neurological conditions and immune system disorders.
By taking care of your body through proper amounts of nutrition, exercise and detoxification, you can help your body get itself back on track. While it is true that you can’t always control what you are exposed to, you can take steps to handle toxins that you are exposed to.
If you are experiencing issues with your skin, depression, no appetite, obesity, headaches, constipation, bad breath, bloating, pain in the joints or chronic fatigue, you might want to consider investigating a detoxification program.
Before starting any detoxification program, it is important to make sure that the supplements you are taking are high quality. Because the majority of health products are unregulated by the federal government, many vitamins are poor in quality, as companies rely on fillers and second grade products to keep costs low. You need to make sure that the company manufacturing your health supplements is committed to the highest quality possible before you start your detoxification program. If you are pregnant, taking prescription drugs or are under 18, always remember to consult with a health care professional before starting a healthcare program.

The Department of Health (DoH) is set to appoint a procurement supremo to head a major shake-up in NHS spending.
The holder of the newly created post of commercial director, to be named in the next few weeks, will be paid up to £95,325 - more for an "exceptional" candidate - and report directly to the DoH's finance director.
The creation of a new commercial division follows health minister Lord Hunt's attack on procurement standards in the NHS as "unacceptable".
In April's budget, chancellor Gordon Brown announced a 43 per cent increase in NHS spending over five years, coupled with measures to make sure the extra money was well spent.
The incoming commercial director will be in charge of a 50-strong team, including 30 transferred from the DoH's private finance initiative (PFI) section and 20 newly created jobs.
The commercial division will be changed with giving procurement more focus and bringing together activities currently managed separately, include PFI schemes, hospital building, private-sector relationships and IT procurement.
The division is planned to also oversee the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (Pasa) and NHS Estates.
A DoH spokesman said: "Although both Pasa and NHS Estates will retain their own chief executives, the new commercial director will have overall responsibility for the performance management of both organisations."
