"Sausalito Chamber of Commerce president Babette McDougal says she generally favors the creation of the new Visitors Network and business district. "The Sausalito City Council very wisely left the decision on whether to participate in the recent business improvement district to the five hotel properties in town; in fact, a meeting of owners and general managers with the City Manager was convened at the Chamber's office."
-North Bay Biz Magazine
Babette McDougal's career as a professional communicator spans some 30 years and three major continents. She strives for innovative leadership and stellar team performance, and adding measurable strength to the bottomline.
McDougal's expertise includes building brand awareness via public relations, marketing communications and sponsorship development; protocol, press campaigns and special events; she's known for out-of-the-box thinking that brings fresh ideas and new approaches. Her global work experience includes a broad range of industry sectors, including hospitality and retail, consumer and B2B, education, government, NGO and nonprofit, tourism and hospitality, and high-tech.
CARE, one of the world's largest emergency relief and long-term development organizations, was a signature client for eight years, having successfully spearheaded their 50th anniversary celebration featuring the Honorable Javier Perez de Cuilliar (former UN Secretary General). Her many years with CARE-USA involved providing public relations and fund-raising campaigns for India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere. McDougal recently received an Award of Honorable Recognition for her pioneering work for the nation's most prestigious multicultural news association, New America Media (www.newamericamedia.org), her client for eight years.
McDougal initiated several new and successful marketing initiatives for the Northern California community of Sausalito focusing on hospitality and tourism, business-to-business, and business-to-consumer. She was publisher for two years of Chamber Waves, a monthly b-2-b/b-2-c newspaper joint venture with Marin Independent Journal, delivered to every doorstep in Sausalito and beyond (circulation 6,000).
McDougal's projects have included working with corporate CEOs, heads of state and important opinion leaders. Recently (May 2007) she helped coordinate the Sausalito visit by Singapore's Prime Minister, HE Lee Hsien Loong, whose visit culminated with a private dinner at Gaylord India Restaurant (one of her hospitality clients).
She was President and Interim-CEO of Sausalito Chamber of Commerce in 2004, and was appointed by the city of Sausalito to lead their Katrina Hurricane Relief Campaign in 2005/2006. She is past-president of the Association for Women in Communications (the Northern CA chapter won eight national awards during her year as president). Other affiliations include several chambers of commerce, Women in Business, American Women in Radio & Television; she is a past director of Women in International Trade, and recently completed a term on the board of the California Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, where she served as media liaison handling national and international press on such high profile issues as the investigation of Pop Singer Michael Jackson.
Prior to launching her independent career in 1989, she enjoyed several years with the presitgious Asia Foundation, where she was responsible for events, publications, press relations and fund-raising. Before joining The Asia Foundation, she enjoyed overseas teaching experiences at Beijing's Qinghua University and at the American College of Switzerland. Currently, she spends weekends assisting at Cavallo Point's new Mercantile, an upscale gift shop that is part of the National Park Service's new Lodge at the Golden Gate in partnership with Passport Resorts.
McDougal holds both a Bachelor's Degree with High Honors in Political Science and M.A. in Asian Studies from the University of California, Berkeley. Having lived and traveled in over 85 countries, McDougal is conversant in French, German and Mandarin Chinese; her mother tongue is English.
McDougal promotes tourism and hospitality for Sausalito by personally escorting editors and other major media representatives from around the nation and around the world to introduce them to the charms and unique attributes of Sausalito.
She convenes Executive Media Briefings in Sausalito spotlighting the town's proximity to San Francisco, the wine country and Pacific coast. In addition to on-going media promotions, McDougal organizes an array of high profile professional development seminars showcasing Sausalito's finest talent in key industry sectors — fitness, health and beauty; hospitality and visitor promotion. Some of the world's biggest names in these industries participate. InStyle Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, Via, Sunset and NewsWeek, The Times of London, the Los Angeles Times, and of course the San Francisco Chronicle are examples of the media outlets most often represented and part of the programs organized by McDougal.

text: Hi there guys. I've completed my EMT-1 and I am now considering Paramedic school after gaining some experience. Could some of you share what typical Paramedic salaries are within the Bay Area? I am really interested in what base salaries are out there from Fire medics and private ambulance companies. It sounds like a lot of medics are pulling close to 100k but it seems like a lot of it is made on overtime?

Flat to full in an hour and a half.
One of the most common concerns with the Shimano Di2 electronic shifting system is, of course, what happens when the batteries lose charge. Fortunately, Shimano has the answer. It's called the Shimano Di2 Internal Battery Charger. With a charge time of just an hour and a half, you won't ever miss a ride because of charging.
The charger is made to accommodate both internal or external battery systems by connecting to the SM-EW90 junction box. The charger also has two indicator lights—one that tells you when it's charged or charging, and one that tells you if there is a problem with the battery or system.
The Shimano Di2 Internal Battery Charger comes in one size and in the color Black.
Confused about how to build your Di2 Kit? Read our Learn Article.
- Charge your Shimano 9070 and 6870 Di2 battery with this charger
- Simply connects to your SM-EW90 junction box for easy charging
- Charges in 90 minutes to cut couch time to a minimum
- Indicator lights show you how much the battery is charged

have to have it
The group is battery based... you have to have one of these.
Buy 2
Di2 shifting is GREAT ... until you run out of batteries -- then you have a long, hopefully downhill grind home. So don't repeat my mistakes, buy a spare and keep your shifters charged and ready!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Easy to use and keeps the di2 batteries charged up.
The chart show two part numbers for chargers. Is this part SM-BCR1 or SM-BCR2? Am I right that there are two different parts depending an on external or internal battery?
must have
if you have di2 you have to have it. simple to use.
love it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Like that it's not too bulky. easy to charge.
Quick and reliable
Admittedly, having to charge your bike is kind of a bummer, but at least Shimano made it easy with the USB compatible charging cable that let's you use any DC adapter you have for other devices (like an iPhone) and use those for your bike as well.
Works great, but use the right adapter
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Works great, but you must use the correct A/C USB adapter. According to Shimano, it must be rated 5V, and equal to or greater than 1 amp. My wall plug was 500 milliamps (1/2 amp) and it would not fully charge before shutting off. I used an Apple phone charger USB plug which is rated at 1 amp, and it fully charged. Seems like it shouldn't matter, but it does.
I bought a shimano ultegra 6870 Di2. When I started charging the battery, the charger battery indicated a yellow lignt. After 2 hours the light was off. I thought it was fully charged but when i checked the E-tube Di2, it was still red. Normally, after 1.5 hours, the battery should be fully charged. Please help
I had a similar problem with partial charging. The box would indicate charge complete, but the indicator light flashed green indicating 50% charge, and it would last only a couple of weeks. After researching the Shimano docs, I found that the A/C adapter you plug this into must be rated 5V, and equal to or greater than 1 Amp. My wall plug was 500 milliamps (1/2 amp). I used an Apple phone charger USB plug which is rated at 1 amp, and it fully charged.
plug and play
pretty simple.. plug it in and walk away.
Great unit.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
All you need to charge your di2 E-tube Cockpit junction box. It also works great to keep your di2 system up to date with the lastest firmware. Just plug it to you bike and your pc, download the lasted Shimano software and follow instructions.
Does the battery charger come with the USB connecting cable and/or wall outlet connecting cable? If not, is the connecting cable from the power source to the battery charger a standard/universal plug type or is it proprietary?
Jeff, it doesn't include the mini USB needed to attach it to the computer or wall. Surprisingly, Shimano doesn't actually make one BUT it is the same charger I use for my GoPro, Camera, and various cellphones.
good cost, service
backcountry, thanks~
Does this come with the usb charger...
Does this come with the usb charger cable?
Yes it does.

Despite being the smallest state in the U.S., Rhode Island has a lot of great camping opportunities for any visitor. Hop in the car with your tent and head to any of the state parks with campgrounds that provide ample access to hiking, swimming and biking.
Fishermen's State Park and Campground
Just 15 minutes away from Newport, Rhode Island, Fishermen's State Park and Campground offers plenty to do at the park and nearby. According to the Rhode Island State Parks website, Fishermen's State Park is like a seaside village. You can go swimming, play horseshoes, basketball or tennis. The park is also close to several other beaches. When you are ready to pitch your tent, you can choose between areas with RV hook-ups or without. Restrooms and coin-operated hot showers are available.
Burlingame State Campground
Burlingame State Campground has thousands of acres of woodlands to explore. If you'd like to reserve a campsite, visit ReserveAmerica online (see Resources) or call the park for more information. From Memorial Day until Labor Day, there is a four-night minimum stay at the campgrounds. Other times of the year, the reservation requirements are dropped to one night.
George Washington Memorial Camping Area
The George Washington Memorial Camping Area is located within the larger George Washington Management area, which covers about 4,000 acres. The campsites at George Washington are all primitive, giving you an opportunity to be closer to nature. Enjoy going hiking and biking around the park and exploring forests. You can also go swimming. There are also cabins available. The park has bathrooms and pit toilets available. Make a reservation prior to your visit.
East Beach
East Beach does not have much to offer in the way of amenities, but that is part of what makes it a great place to visit and camp. The beach area has three miles of beach lining the waters, little of which has been developed. You can go swimming, boating or windsurfing. You may not stay longer than four consecutive days, and you then must wait at least three days before returning. Portable restrooms are available.

Pancakes are flat cakes, usually cooked on a frying pan and served with maple syrup. The best thing about pancakes is that they taste good with or without toppings--in this case we're making it really unique and even sweeter! Just imagine a sweet birthday cake taste inside a pancake. In this article you will learn how to make a tasty batch of cake batter pancakes.
- Makes: 20 small pancakes
For the Pancakes
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 cups milk + 3 more tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles
- Rainbow sprinkles
- White icing
- Powdered sugar
Part 1 of 2:
Making the Batter
1Preheat your griddle to medium heat. This will you get ready when it's time to flip those pancakes. Not preheating the griddle ahead of time will the pancakes cook slower.
2Mix the pancake mix and cake mix. Pour the cake mix and pancake mix into a large bowl. Using a whisk, stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.
3Add the wet ingredients. Crack the four eggs in the bowl and slowly pour the vanilla extract and milk. Starting beating hard with the whisk so you can break the egg yolks and combine all the ingredients together in the pancake mix.
4Fold in the sprinkles. Pour the sprinkles in the bowl and slowly stir and fold them so you can get a colorful pancake batter. Set batter aside and be prepared to start cooking.
- If you would like really colorful pancakes or more of a crunch try doubling the amount of sprinkles.
Part 2 of 2:
Cooking and Serving
1Prepare a frying pan. Place a frying pan on the hot griddle and use a pastry brush to spread oil or butter over it to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
2Cook the pancakes. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop pancake batter into the scoop and slowly pour it on your frying pan. Have it cook until the edges are brown and the top starts to bubble. When ready, use a spatula to flip the pancake so it can cook on the other side. It will usually be ready in two minutes. Once the pancake is fully cooked, place it on a large plate to cool. Continue until there is no more pancake batter.
3Serve and enjoy! Place a pancake on a serving plate and add additional toppings such as more sprinkles, icing, and powdered sugar. Enjoy eating your yummy pancakes!Advertisement

- It's recommended to spread olive oil over the frying pan since vegetable oil gives the pancakes an unpleasant taste. If you don't have olive oil, try melted butter that's salted.
- Slowly flip the pancakes to avoid breaking them if they are not ready. If you flip really fast you could mess up the pancake if it wasn't fully cooked yet.
- Try adding different extracts for different flavors such as mint extract, almond extract, lemon extract, and peppermint extract
- Don't over-mix the pancake batter -- it causes the pancakes to be tough and dry once cooked.

I'm getting really frustrated with parts of my life, mostly because I can't control them. It's hard when you want something, but it becomes abundantly clear that that will not happen for a long time, mostly due to circumstances that I can't control. And that's the fucking worst. When you can't even control your own life, the direction that it's going in. I feel like a marionette of OHSU, doing whatever the fuck they want so they can "fix" me. *shakes head* I've been avoiding actually doing what I need to do to have my second transplant because I don't want to do it. Even though it's not one of those things that if I ignore, it'll go away.
Being powerless is the second worst feeling in the world. The first is not being special to anyone.[Edit: which totally doesn't mean anything relavant to my life right now. I have a WONDERFUL boy and I had written once that "the worst feeling in the world is not being wanted." That is all.]
Last night, Friday the 13th caught up with us. We were going to go to victoriouslimp's comedy show, but apparently it wasn't going to happen (was I reading your post wrong?) then, we were going to go to a movie, but there were none starting at the time we wanted. So we were going to rent a season from Big City Gamin', but they were closed by eight (new hours?!) then we finally went to Freddie's and bought SatC. Fuckin' A, the world finally gave us a big shitty dose of full moonism.
I really don't mean for my posts to turn into big shitballs, this just happens when I'm going through chemo week. I'll be done soon, I promise.

If you want to see the origins of collage and assemblage, and you live in the DC area, head to the Hirshhorn to see Under, Over, Next. Something I had to keep in mind is context–the collages and assemblages in this show are from as early as 1913 (Braque's Aria de Bach).
This piece by Jess, A Western Prospect of Egg and Dart, 1988, made me consider the physical process involved in cutting and pasting, now more commonly accomplished with Photoshop and similar software and applications.
There was something about the presence of the 'real' puzzle pieces and other objects-the trompe l'oeil, that was exciting.
So many things were hiding in the image. Today was the second time I studied this picture and I saw entierly new things.
I also was drawn to these images by Jiří Kolář, organized in a visual way, for example in diagonals:

How a $2million donation set a precedent for the enforcement of animal protection legislation.
Last week Operation Lion Ark touched down in Denver, CO a single DC10 aircraft carrying 25 rescued circus lions from Bolivia, in the biggest rescue operation of its kind in history. Animal Defenders International (ADI) organized the huge mission with the financial backing of TV personality Bob Barker.
Six years ago, ADI launched a series of undercover investigations, exposing circus suffering across South America. The ADI field officers worked inside circuses in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The campaign that followed led to Bolivia banning all animals in circuses and similar legislation is being discussed in Brazil and Peru.
With the campaign desperately short of funds, Bob Barker stepped in to give the ADI team a massive boost with a donation of $2million. The contribution meant that ADI could set about a mission to ensure that the Bolivian law was actually implemented, and pave the way for ending animal suffering in circuses across South America.
Jan Creamer, ADI President: Too much animal protection legislation is passed but not effectively implemented. We were determined that with Bob Barkers support we would enable the Bolivian authorities to actually enforce this legislation. To set an example to countries all over the world that strong animal protection legislation can be vigorously enforced.
Animal circuses in Bolivia were given a year to dispose of their animals. Within months, the first circus went animal free and handed all their animals, lions and a baboon to ADI. Mr. Barkers support allowed the lions and baboon to be airlifted to sanctuaries in the US and UK, and showed the Bolivian authorities the way forward.
The next Bolivian circuses were not willing to give up their animals. In November 2010, with the backing of the authorities, ADI began a search and seizure operation all over Bolivia. All of Bolivias remaining circuses were closed down and every animal was seized including lions, monkeys and other animals. All of the animals rescued except the lions were relocated in Bolivia, with several animals returned to the wild.
Finally, the lions needed to be airlifted to a new life and so Operation Lion Ark carried 25 lions to freedom at a sanctuary in Colorado last week.
Jan Creamer, President of ADI: In one fell swoop the suffering of circus animals has been ended in Bolivia. Importantly, this operation has set a global precedent on effective implementation of animal protection legislation; it shows how NGOs like ADI can work on enforcement. Bob Barkers support has allowed us to seize these animals, evacuate the animals to safety, and make substantial investment in the facilities at the sanctuaries. Many more animals could benefit from this important operation.
The backing of the former Price is Right star has also enabled ADI to step up the pressure for bans elsewhere in South America with further exposés of shocking animal suffering in the name of entertainment.
Bob Barker said, I am delighted to have helped ADI give these animals a wonderful new life after they have endured so much misery. Circuses are no place for animals, and lions and tigers should not be forced to live in small cages on the backs of trucks, or elephants forced to live in chains in the name of entertainment.
Circuses with animals are cruel and archaic. I commend the Bolivian Government for taking this progressive step and hope that other South American countries, and indeed the USA, will follow suit. These animals have had a chance to start new lives in the US and a new era without circus suffering has started in Bolivia.

Though spending time in the garden is a rewarding pastime, not everyone has as much time as they'd like to tend to picky or difficult flowers. Luckily, there are many flowering plants that are easy to maintain and will produce vibrant flowers even with minimal care and attention.
Easy to grow and largely pest-free, marigolds (Tagetes spp.) are flowering members of the daisy family native to Mexico and Central America. Marigolds are prized for their fluffy blooms, which are available in colors ranging from yellow to deep orange red. The plant is adaptable to most soil types, so long as the soil is well-drained. Marigolds grow best in full sunlight, and they should be watered during droughts or hot summers.
Pink Evening Primrose
A native of the American Midwest, pink evening primrose (Oenothera speciosa) is no stranger to sunshine. The plant is notable for its floppy, pinkish blooms and its bushy mid-green foliage. Tolerant of high humidity and drought, pink evening primrose thrives in full sunlight. Planted in well-drained soil, this trailing plant requires almost no maintenance. The plant is best utilized when allowed to spread out, creating a naturalized appearance. Pink evening primrose is a great way to bring wildlife to a garden, attracting birds, bees and butterflies.
Rat Tail Cactus
A native of Mexico, rat tail cactus (Aporocactus flagelliformis) is a flowering cactus that is often used in hanging baskets or containers. The plant has long stems and tubular, bright pink blooms. The low-maintenance plant should be placed in sunlight coming from the east or west. Plant rat tail cactus in either a general purpose cactus potting soil mix, or in rocky, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist, and apply a water-soluble fertilizer once a year during the growing season.
Princess Flower
A native of Brazil, princess flower (Tibouchina urvilleana) is a flowering evergreen shrub that produces silky purple blooms atop long, gray green leaves. The summer blooming plant rarely has pest or disease problems, and can mostly be left alone once established. Plant princess flower in rich, fertile soils in full sunlight, or partial sun if growing in a hot climate. Water the plant enough to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. A dose of fertilizer after each flush of flowers will help keep the princess flower in bloom. The flowers of the plant can be cut and used as accents in a wildflower bouquet.

JERUSALEM — With Hebrew phrases, testaments to Israel's ancient roots, expressions of deep admiration and displays of empathy, President Obama has captured the hearts of many here over the past two days, appearing to erase years of skepticism and wariness overnight.
But a much more complicated sell was the tough message he delivered in a bold speech on Thursday afternoon, saying that Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state was threatened by settlement building and other activities in the Palestinian territories, and calling young people to pressure politicians to advance the peace process. As the words began to sink in, some Israelis wondered if they would be followed by more pressure from Washington.
Individual Israelis and analysts alike said Mr. Obama had hit all the right notes in his internationally televised address and throughout his first visit as president. He cracked jokes, quoted the Talmud and revered Israeli figures, pledged America's unwavering emotional and financial support while asserting Israel's right to defend itself, and, perhaps most important, echoed the Israeli narrative of the conflict with the Palestinians.
"Obama finally learned to speak Israeli," said Yossi Klein Halevi, a writer and fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute. He called the speech "a love song to Israel."
"What he realized is that Israelis respond to an embrace far more than to pressure," Mr. Halevi said. "We were able to hear it in a way that we weren't able to hear before because he said all the right things to us."
Limor Shiffman, who listened to the speech on her smartphone in a Jerusalem cafe, said afterward, "It's a pity he cannot be the leader of this country." Richard Thunder, who was among more than 100 who watched on a large screen in Tel Aviv's Yitzhak Rabin Square, was buoyed by Mr. Obama's "trying to connect to people as individuals."
At the convention center where Mr. Obama spoke, the audience was made up largely of university students and left-wing peace activists who rewarded even some of his most challenging lines with ovations and whoops, but the reaction outside the hall was more muted.
Yes, he had charmed them, even earned their respect. And yet a weary and fearful nation has already heard the arguments that peace is necessary and just — and perhaps most vexing to them — possible. Many are convinced instead that their battle with the Palestinians is insoluble, and they worry that the president's impassioned calls for a new generation to revive a moribund peace process may soon be followed with a specific diplomatic initiative that could include harsh measures.
"He puts on the best show in the world," said Jacob Tal, 67, a businessman who watched the speech at a falafel stand, "but something here smells not good."
"In another half year or so he'll come and dictate terms," Mr. Tal said.
After an election campaign in Israel and lengthy coalition negotiations that focused mostly on domestic issues, Mr. Obama's visit returned the country's attention to its external challenges, and it energized politicians and activists who are eager to push peace.
But the new government, sworn in just this week, is divided on the Palestinian question. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been politically weakened, will quickly risk testing that government's stability.
"If the president thinks that giving a couple of good speeches in Jerusalem is going to make Israelis rebel against Prime Minister Netanyahu or make Netanyahu more pliant, he's mistaken," said David M. Weinberg, who helps run the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies.
Mr. Netanyahu issued a two-line statement after the speech — in which Mr. Obama effectively sought to bypass the prime minister in a direct appeal to the public — that ignored its main points. He agreed with Mr. Obama's "view regarding the need to advance a peace that ensures the security of Israel's citizens."
Tzipi Livni, the new justice minister with a special portfolio to promote peace, embraced Mr. Obama's speech with a statement saying that "it is our duty to implement our Zionist vision as it was voiced so eloquently in his words today." But Naftali Bennett, a senior minister whose Jewish Home Party opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, rejected one of the president's main tenets, asserting that "there is no occupation in our own land."
Perhaps that is why Mr. Obama pointedly chose to not address his message to politicians, declining to speak in Parliament. The text of his remarks distributed by the White House was titled "To the People of Israel." Mr. Obama took a similar tack in the speech he gave at Cairo University in 2009, with language tailored to win the confidence of — and to challenge — his Arab audience. That speech, also heralded as a success, served to elevate expectations that were not realized.
David Horovitz, editor of The Times of Israel, said that "the middle ground that needs to swing will need more" than what he described as "an extraordinary presidential speech," noting that the young people that Mr. Obama hoped to move had been shaped by the violent second Palestinian intifada and threats of destruction from Iran's leaders.
"Those are the harsh realities that intervene in Israelis' willingness to build trust and take risks," Mr. Horovitz said. "Israelis are emotional, but they're also very battered."
Lulu Monsone, a skullcap-wearing Jerusalem taxi driver, said he was initially annoyed that the visit would cost him work because of road closings. But Mr. Monsone was won over on Thursday when President Obama suggested at a news conference with President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority — whose nickname is Abu Mazen — that while he opposes settlement expansion, it need not be resolved before resuming negotiations.
"Before, all the time he said you need to stop, no building," Mr. Monsone noted. "Now you see him, he tells Abu Mazen, 'You want to eat the dessert before you eat the soup — just come to the table and talk.' "
Mr. Halevi, the analyst, said he doubted President Obama had convinced Israelis that Mr. Abbas was a ready partner or that the revolutionized Arab world would soon "embrace a Jewish state." But he said the message about the problems caused by Israel's activities in the West Bank would resonate widely.
"Next time there's an announcement of settlement expansion, large parts of the public will react with anger rather than indifference," Mr. Halevi predicted. "If he thought he was going to get Israelis to believe in the possibility of an imminent agreement, that was mission impossible. But to get Israelis to understand that in the absence of peace we still have a responsibility not to change the status quo on the ground — there, I think he succeeded."
Many people interviewed after the speech said the crucial question is: What next? Mr. Obama had promised not to bring a new peace plan with him on what he described as a listening mission, and he made only the vaguest of references to "incremental steps" that could advance the process. Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to return to Jerusalem on Saturday night to begin to talk tangibles.
Rachel Cohen, a teacher, said that Mr. Obama had clearly "started something new" and was "trying harder," but that she hoped the president would not force Israel to make risky concessions.
"He knew very well how to make friends with the Israelis," Ms. Cohen said, "but now we want to see something serious."

The Strikers of the Various Presiden- tial Candidates Getting in Their Work at Chicagp. What Is Believed to Be a Fair Statement of the Oondition of Affairs at the Present. Rumored Defection in the Ranks of the Arkansas Delegation—Senator Har- rison a Candidate. The National Committee Votes to Reconi" mend the Seating of the Mabone Del- egation from Virgin)^. Other Convention Notes. a fair view of the situation. Chicago, Jupe a.—To-morrow the lie- publican Convention of 1884 will meet, but there is as much uncertainty as to "the nomi - nations it will make as there was a month ago. It is conceded by all but the Arthur men that Blaine will lead on first ballot with about 340 votes, falling seventy short of the nomination. Arthur's strength Will be about 300, Edmunds' 85 to 90, Logan's about 60, and Sherman's about 30. If Logan's strength could be cast for Blaine it would nominate the latter. If Edmunds' following could be transferred to Arthur it would be apt to result in the President's success. Sherman also hol4s a position of great strategic importance, as it is believed he virtually stands in the way of Blaine's nomina- tion. Logan] occupies a similar position. We therefore have two leading candi- dates, with about 340 and 300 votes respect- ively, and three aspiring Senators holding tiie balance of power, and all pursuing the same policy of antagonizing no one, holding together and waiting for luck to bring up at their door. A majority of the supporters of these two Senators—Sherman and Logan —would go to Blaine if their own candi- dates were dropped. The most of the oth- ers would go to Arthur. The exact status of but a few State dele- gations Is known. All the others are in dispute. In some cases the difference be- tween the claims of the rival candidates amounts to but a few votes, and in others to whole delegations from important States. Under such circumstances any estimate of tiie result of the first ballot must be faulty in both detail and total. KA sensation was created Saturday by the reported flop of the Arkansas delegation. This State had been claimed by certain Blaine men for several weeks, but kept in the Arthur column by nearly all calculators. At the Arthur headquarters it was declared that Powell Clayton had been promised a Cabinet position under Blaine if he would throw the delegation.' The further state- ment was made by the Arthur men that Clayton was too eager in his treachery, and could not carry the whole delegation with him, four men declining his proposition. This is confirmed by the Sherman managers, who have hopes of getting the remaining four." Another rumor in regard to the Arkansas case was that tiie Arthur men would will- ingly and designedly turn the votes to Blaine for one ballot, to be taken back at tiie beginning of the second roll-call. The merit of this scheme would consist of stam- peding the convention to Arthur by unex- pected gains from this and other States at the.beginning of the second ballot A number of prominent business men of Chicago have issued an address to the con- vention, urging the nomination of Chester A Arthur. The signers of the address pro- test that they do not want to reflect upon any of the distinguished men before the convention, yet they think it right to invito attention to the reasons that warrant them in recommending the nomination of Arthur. They refer to the circumstances under which Arthur came to the Presidency; say that he has regarded the voice of the people in the demand for civil-service re- form; that he appointed to high offices men best qualified by experience for them; that he has,kept in view the best interests of the country, and advocated no policy cal- culated to disturb commercial affairs; that he has favored a reduction of taxation, and has given the country a wise, pure and con- servative Administration. Then follow extracts from resolutions favorable to Ar- thur adopted at the State conventions held in Boston, Mass.; Bangor, Me.; Harrisburg, Pa.; Cleveland, O.; Peoria, 111.; Des Moines, la., and Montpelier, Vt Among the names of the signers are C. B. Fanveli, N. K. Fairbank, J. V. Farwell, S. A. Kent, J. W. Butler, P. Q. Dodge and Charles Fargo. The Republican National Committee held its first meeting at noon Saturday in its quarters at the Grand Pacific Hotel. The session, the result of which was looked for- ward to with considerable interest by the contesting delegates, lasted for two hours, and was attended by all the members of tiie committee in person or by proxy except by C. W. Bennett, of Utah, and Alexander H. Beattie, of Montana. The action of the sub-committee in regard to the arrange- ments for the convention and the distribu- tion of tickets was indorsed. It was decided to give six tickets to each delegate and one to each alternate. Where there is a contest the delegate whose name is on the list will receive only five tickets and the ap- plicant for his seat one. This is regarded as equivalent to a decision admitting all the delegates from all the contested districts, and leaving it to the convention to decide the question between the contestants. The committee then adjourned until seven o'clock. A large crowd gathered around parlor 44, where the committee met in the evening, eager to learn, the decision that might be arrived at in the contested dis- tricts. Only members of the commit- tee were admitted to the room. Even the representatives of contesting del- egates were excluded. The first case con- sidered was that of Virginia. The argu- ments for the claimants and also for the de- fendants were printed in pamphlet form, and were read by the Secretary. After a long and spirited debate, it was decided by a vote of 29 to 13 that the Mahene dele- gates were entitled to have their names placed on the roll as representing Virginia in the convention. The other contested districts were referred to sub-committes as follows: First Georgia District to Messrs. Davis, Enos and Lee; First and Fifth Kern tucky Districts to Messrs. Magee, Conger and Mason; Fourth Maryland District to Messrs. Ronett, Halsey and Hastings; Fourth Texas District, to Messrs. McCoy, McKee and Yost; Twenty-first'and Twenty- second Pennsylvania Districts to Messrs. Piatt of Connecticut, Bradley and Cooper; Sixth and Nineteenth New York Districts to Runnells, Clayton and Stone; Second Illinois District, Aldrich, Boutelle and Hooker. The sub-committees' will report to the National Committee, which will hold a meeting at twelve o'clock to-day. Secre- tary Martin protested that the committee ' did not take op the question of the appoint- : ment of a temporary chnirman, and would i not consider it until to-day. James A. Sexton was chosen sereeant-at- arms of the convention. L M. Blair, of Wisconsin, and James IL-Stone, Michigan, were named as reading clerks. Sunday brought no rest to the busy Pres- ident-makers in Chicago. There was hard, earnest work all day. The only real sensa- tion was caused by the formal appearance of Senator Ben Harrison, of Indiana, as a candidate. When he came here he declared he was not in the race, but when a quiet canvass was made early yesterday morning to see how the delegation stood, it became quite plain that Mr. Harrison was a real aspirant ior the Presidency. . The announcement created consider- able alarm, even among the Indiana dele- gates. In some quarters he was denounced for acting in bad faith with Gresham and Porter, with whom he is said to have made an agreement not to become an avowed candidate until it was decided by the other States that- Indiana should name the man. How far Ills course will affect the other candidates was the uncertain element that made the new candidate's position interesting. The im- pr ^bion prevails that Harrison will take all the Indiana votes that would have been east for Blaine, Logan, Sherman and Edmunds, and perhaps ;one or two from Arthur, but the seven votes against hi in, will be cast for the President Harry .New gave It out Sunday that Har- rison had received overtures' from a solid New Jersey delegation, from twenty of the Western Pennsylvania delegates, from a scattering New England element, and from the Curtis-Allerton-Roosevelt combination o of New York City. It was reported that ' Senator Harrison had been offered the aid of these people on the condition that he could get the solid Indiana vote. The Ohio delegates held sevetal meetings Sunday, the avowed object being to arrange a trade between the followers of Sherman and Blaine from the Buckeye State. At last the Sherman followers are reported to have agreed to cast their votes for Blaine if it should be made plain to them, by an actual count of noses, that Blaine would receive the nomination on the first or second ballot The Ohio delegation is supposed to stand 32 for Sherman, 22 for Blaine and 2 for Arthur. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is at the Grand Pacific, having come to the con- vention not as a delegate or to work for any candidate, but as a representative of the Prohibitionists of the country. He has prepareu a resolution, which he hopes to bring before the convention, fa- voring the submission of a joiut resolution by Congress to the Legislatures of the States proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing for *tlie regula- tion and control of the traffic in alcoholic beverages. The Senator says" that the New Hampshire delegates will give Arthur four votos, Blaine two and Edmunds two. He thinks tliat ;neitlier Blaine nor Arthur can be nominated. Messrs. Harry Cole, P. J. Scanlan and George Murray, representing the New York Typographical Union, Were present at the meeting of the Trades' Assembly yesterday. They are in the city to advocate a labor plank in the Republican platform, and to ask the co-operationr of the ° Chicago labor organizations in boycotting the Tribune. J. W. Rowau, J. P. McGinley and President Rodgers were appointed a committee to act with the New York men. in getting such a plank inserted, and Rich- ard Powers and P. H. McLogan, who were appointed by the confederation of trades in August, 1883, to secure the same recogni- tion, will act with the committee The prin- ciples to be asked for is a statement of their position on the enforcement of the eight- hour law, the Incorporation of national trade organizations, and the establishment of a National Bureau of Labor Statistics. An address has been issued by the Execu- tive Committee of the American Free School Alliance to the delegates to the National Republican Convention advocating the nom- ination of John A. Logan for President The following clergymen have been selected by the local committee to open the sessions of the Republican National Cou- vention with prayer: Rev. Dr. Clintou Locke, Rev. Bishop Fallows, Rev. Frank M. Bristol, Rev. H. M. Sciidder, Rev. J. H. BaiTows, Rev. F. A. Noble. Jerome B. Chaffee, of Colorado, is here. He was originally a Logan man, as were Grant Conkling and Blaine. But seeing that Blaine is far ahead in the Northern Republican Stales, he is for Blaine, and in- formed his friends here that GraDt and Conkling both tavor th6 man from Maine. The Connecticut delegation, who have headquarters in room 149 at the Grand Pa- cific, arrived yesterday forenoon. They are unanimous for their own State's favorite son, General Joseph R-rHawley. No special effort is being made for him, as his friends do not consider that his chances begin un- til after certain others' end. Arrangements were perfected by "the po- lice last evening for the protection of the convention crowds. The details of patrol- men on duty at the Central Station in citi- zen's dress, are to be distributed equally among the principal hotels and the various depots, while a special file will be on duty at the Exposition building while the con- vention is in session. Officers will meet each train coming Into the city at some suburban station and overhaul the cars for pickpockets and other' crooks. The better to facilitate this work, the Chicago police will be reinforced by detectives and special officers from other cities. A delegation of police arrived from Pittsburgh last evening. Detective Desmond arrived on the early train yesterday morning from St Louis. The noted Sergeant Max Heidelberg, of the Mulberry street station. New York, with his partner, Sergeant Lamphier, reached Chicago yesterday noon. One of the celebrities who attract atten- tian in Chicago is Judge Norton, of Texas, who has kept a pledge made in 1884 not to shave or cut his hair until Henry Clay Is placed In the Presidential chair. John F. Dezendorf and his straight-out Republicans from Virginia are on the ground, and announce that they will fight hard for seats in the convention. It has;been pretty well decided who the principal nominations" are to be made by. President Arthur will be nominated by Mar- tin L Townsend, of New York, and the nomination will be seconded by ex-Senator Henderson, • of Missouri. Blaine will be placed In nomination by John Stewart, of Pennsylvania, seconded by Judge W. H. West of Ohio. 'General Logan isHo be nom- inated byjSenator Cullofh. Edmunds will be nominated by George WilMam Curtis, or Governor. Long, of Massachusetts. John Sherman is to be nominated by Judge Foraker., The latter will make only a brief speech. Messrs. A. H. Andrews & Co., the well- known manufacturers of office, bank and school furniture in this city, have made a gavel for the use of the Chairmau of the approaching Republican National Conven- tion which will have something more than a mere historic interest The gold-plate band is inscribed "Presented to the Chair- man of the Republican National Convention of 1884 by A. Andrews & Co." This gavel is made of wood from each State and Territory in the Union.

Treatments available
This page aims to give an overview of the range of currently available treatments for dementia.
The information here does not replace the advice that doctors, pharmacists or nurses may provide, but gives you information which we hope you will find helpful.
Drug treatments for dementia
If you have been diagnosed with a form of dementia, there are several drugs that could help. These may differ depending on the type of dementia you have.
You can talk with your doctor about the treatments available and together you can decide which ones might be best for you. You might also like a carer or member of your family to be involved in these decisions.
If you are prescribed a drug for dementia, treatment is usually started by a specialist doctor. Specialist doctors who see people with dementia include psychiatrists, geriatricians and neurologists. Once treatment has been started, it may be continued and monitored either by a specialist or by your GP.
The NHS 111 service can give you advice if you cannot reach your doctor: Telephone: 111 – 24 hours a day.
Alzheimer's disease
Cholinesterase inhibitors
People with Alzheimer's disease could benefit from taking a cholinesterase inhibitor. Cholinesterase inhibitors are not a cure, but can treat some symptoms in some people.
There are three cholinesterase inhibitors available to treat Alzheimer's:
- donepezil (Aricept)
- rivastigmine (Exelon)
- galantamine (Reminyl)
All these drugs work in a similar way. So far, no difference in the effectiveness of the three drugs has been shown, but some people may respond better to one drug than another or have fewer side-effects.
These drugs are licensed and recommended specifically for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. Doctors may continue to prescribe one of these drugs for longer if they believe it is still having a beneficial effect.
These treatments are normally given as tablets or capsules. Donepezil is also available as a tablet that dissolves on the tongue and galantamine can be given in liquid form. Rivastigmine is available in liquid form or in patches, where the drug is absorbed through the skin. Your doctor will discuss the most suitable form for you.
People with Alzheimer's may find that their condition improves by taking a cholinesterase inhibitor. This could be improvement in thinking, memory, communication or day-to-day activities. Others may find that their condition stays the same, when they would have expected to become less able as the condition develops. Some people may not notice any effect at all.
As these drugs don't stop the disease from progressing in the brain, symptoms can continue to get worse over time. However, they can help some people to function at a slightly higher level than they would do without the drug.
The most common side-effects of cholinesterase inhibitors are feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, having trouble sleeping, muscle cramps and tiredness. These effects are often mild and usually only temporary. Not everyone will experience side-effects.
In Alzheimer's disease, nerve cells become damaged and lose their ability to communicate. Cholinesterase inhibitors work by increasing the amount of a chemical called acetylcholine, that helps messages to travel around the brain. These messages are vital to the way we move, think and remember. Cholinesterase inhibitors can reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's for a time.
Memantine (Ebixa or Axura) is recommended as an option for people with severe Alzheimer's disease, and for people with moderate Alzheimer's if cholinesterase inhibitors don't help or are not suitable. Memantine is normally given as a tablet, but it is also available as a liquid. Your doctor will discuss the most suitable form for you. Like cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine is not a cure. However, it can help with some symptoms.
Memantine is currently only recommended for people with Alzheimer's disease. Research is underway to learn more about whether it might be beneficial for people with other forms of dementia.
People with moderate or severe Alzheimer's disease are sometimes offered combination therapy, where a cholinesterase inhibitor is given in addition to memantine.
Some people taking memantine may not notice any effect at all. Others may find that their condition stays the same, when they would have expected it to decline.
Some people experience side-effects when taking memantine. The most common side-effects of memantine are headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. These effects are usually only temporary.
Memantine also helps nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other. It does this by helping to rebalance chemical changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease. This can help protect brain cells, allowing them to communicate more clearly for longer, and it helps reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease for a while.
Vascular dementia
Vascular dementia can occur when blood vessels become damaged and blood flow to the brain is reduced. This type of dementia is linked to risk factors for vascular disease. These include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart problems. People with these conditions have an increased risk of developing vascular dementia.
While there are currently no specific treatments for vascular dementia, a doctor may prescribe medication to treat cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes. It's possible that treating these conditions could slow the development of vascular dementia, but more research is needed in this area.
A doctor may also advise taking up a healthier lifestyle by stopping smoking, taking exercise and eating healthily to help control these underlying conditions.
Vascular dementia is sometimes caused by a stroke, so a doctor may also recommend physiotherapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy if appropriate.
Cholinesterase inhibitors are not usually beneficial for people with vascular dementia. However, they may be helpful for people with both Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, also called 'mixed dementia'.
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)
Dementia with Lewy bodies is caused by small round clumps of protein that build up inside nerve cells in the brain. One of these proteins is called alpha-synuclein and the clumps it forms are called Lewy bodies. The protein clumps damage the way nerve cells work and communicate. In DLB, the affected areas of the brain control thinking, memory and movement.
There is evidence that cholinesterase inhibitors may help to improve some of the symptoms of DLB, including thinking skills and visual hallucinations. So far memantine has only been shown to have small benefits for people with DLB, but it may be offered to those who can't be given donepezil or rivastigmine.
Lewy bodies are also responsible for the damage that causes movement problems in Parkinson's disease. Levodopa, a drug used to treat Parkinson's, may also be used to treat movement problems in DLB. There is a risk this drug may provoke or worsen visual hallucinations. If this occurs, inform your doctor. Physiotherapy could also help someone with DLB with their movement problems.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)
Frontotemporal dementia is a relatively rare form of dementia, accounting for less than 5% of all dementia cases. The disease is caused by damage to cells in areas of the brain called the frontal and temporal lobes. These areas regulate our personality, emotions and behaviour, as well as our speech and understanding of language.
At the moment there are no drugs specifically to treat frontotemporal dementia. Other drugs may help some symptoms of the disease; for example an antidepressant drug may be considered. You can find more details in the next sections.
Physical symptoms such as problems swallowing or moving may need careful management in their own right. Someone with frontotemporal dementia may be offered speech therapy or physiotherapy to help with these symptoms.
Non-drug treatments for dementia
There are several types of cognitive therapy that may benefit people with dementia. Cognitive skills can be described as thinking skills, and cognition is a word used to describe thought processes.
Cognitive stimulation activities are designed to stimulate thinking skills and engage people who have dementia. They are often group-based and include games, with an emphasis on enjoyment. Cognitive stimulation can be provided by health or social care staff with appropriate training.
The benefits of cognitive stimulation for people with dementia could include improvement in memory, thinking skills and quality of life.
Other types of cognitive therapy are currently being tested to see if they can benefit people with dementia. These include reminiscence therapy, where past activities and experiences are discussed, usually with photographs and other familiar objects from the past.
Cognitive rehabilitation is also being tested to find out if it can help people with dementia. This technique aims to improve how people manage everyday tasks by setting personal goals and finding ways to achieve them. The focus is on developing the person's strengths and helping them to overcome their individual challenges.
It is best to be wary of 'herbal', 'alternative' or 'complementary' products that claim to benefit people with dementia, or to improve memory. There has been very little high-quality research into these products, and some may not be safe for people with dementia. For example, despite anecdotal reports, there is currently very little evidence from studies in people that coconut oil can benefit people with dementia.
The most important thing when considering taking a complementary therapy is to talk to your doctor. Some of these products interact with normal medication, so the doctor needs to know about anything being taken. These products should never be taken as a substitute for prescribed medicines.
Availability of dementia treatments
Cholinesterase inhibitors are currently available across the UK on NHS prescription, and are recommended for people with mild and moderate stage Alzheimer's disease. Memantine is available on NHS prescription for people in the later stages of Alzheimer's, and for people with moderate Alzheimer's if cholinesterase inhibitors don't help or are not suitable.
People with mild to moderate dementia should have the opportunity to participate in cognitive stimulation if it is available. It should be offered irrespective of any drug prescribed.
Treatments for other symptoms of dementia
In the later stages of dementia, people with the condition may experience other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, agitation and aggression. A doctor may advise a non-drug treatment to help with these symptoms first. Non-drug treatments could include exercise, cognitive therapy or group activities such as singing.
You can discuss your treatment options with your doctor.
Depression is common in all forms of dementia. Your doctor may consider recommending cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT provides an opportunity for people to talk about their worries and concerns with a specialist practitioner. It aims to help people develop different ways of thinking and behaving.
There may also be other therapies offered in your local area that could help; these might include exercise or group activities such as music therapy.
You may be offered an antidepressant drug, either as an alternative to CBT or in combination with it. There are different types, or classes, of antidepressant; some are not suitable for people with dementia. Your doctor will be able to advise you if an antidepressant could help and which type would be best.
Agitation, anxiety and aggression
Some people with dementia experience agitation, aggression, delusions (negative or mistaken beliefs), severe anxiety, hallucinations, sleep disturbances and other behavioural symptoms.
These symptoms can be difficult for a carer to manage and you might hear them called 'challenging behaviours'. They are also known as neuropsychiatric symptoms or behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).
While these symptoms may be difficult to handle, there are simple things that might help. It may be possible to uncover the cause or trigger of aggression or agitation. A person's physical health could affect their behaviour – they may be constipated or need the toilet. Someone's surroundings can also affect their behaviour, as well as their feelings towards certain situations.
Finding out if there are triggers that cause aggressive or agitated behaviour means it might be possible to remove, treat or avoid them. Mild behavioural symptoms can often be helped with adjustments to physical surroundings, reassurance or changes to daily routine. Possible triggers could include:
- undetected pain or discomfort
- infection
- depression
- social situations
- factors in the environment
- disruption to routine.
For advice and support for coping with challenging behaviours and caring for someone with dementia, you can contact one of the organisations listed here. Your doctor or nurse will also be able to offer you advice.
Non-drug treatments
To help someone with agitation, a doctor or healthcare worker may consider offering a non-drug therapy. The type of therapy depends on someone's preferences, skills and abilities. It also depends on what is available in your local area. These might include:
- aromatherapy
- therapeutic use of music or dancing
- animal-assisted therapy
- massage
- multi-sensory stimulation.
A person's response to these therapies should be carefully monitored and the approach changed if needed. These therapies can be given by a health or social care worker with appropriate training and supervision.
Some people with dementia may find one of these therapies helpful and there is some research that suggests they may be beneficial. However, the studies done so far have been small so more research is needed.
If non-drug measures have not worked and someone is very distressed they may be offered treatment with an antipsychotic drug.
These drugs should only be offered if there is severe distress or immediate risk of harm to the person themselves or others around them. While they can be helpful in certain circumstances, antipsychotics can also have serious side-effects so other methods should be tried first.
Anyone prescribed an antipsychotic drug should be closely and regularly monitored by a doctor. If you have any concerns about antipsychotics being used you can talk to your doctor.
There are several different antipsychotic drugs. One, called risperidone (Risperdal), is licensed to treat severe agitation, aggression and behavioural changes in people with dementia. Short term treatment can help to reduce these symptoms.
On rare occasions, other antipsychotic drugs may be considered at a low dose if someone is extremely aggressive. Haloperidol (Haldol, Serenace) is another antipsychotic that might be considered for a very short period (one week). Lorazepam (Ativan, Temesta), a type of drug called a benzodiazepine, is not an antipsychotic drug but may also be used in a similar way for a short time to help reduce very aggressive behaviour.
All antipsychotics can have serious side-effects. Long term use of antipsychotic drugs is associated with an increased risk of stroke and may worsen memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, antipsychotics should not usually be used for longer than three months and the benefits of prescribing them need to be carefully weighed up against the risk of side-effects for each person.
Antipsychotics can be particularly dangerous for people with dementia with Lewy bodies and should only be prescribed in severe circumstances. They can cause symptoms to get worse.
Different antipsychotic drugs have been used in the past to treat dementia symptoms, but they are not recommended or licensed for this. You can, and should, talk with your doctor about what type of medication is being prescribed and why.
