In Detail
Web development is tricky—even a simple web application has a number of context changes ready to trip up the unwary. Grails takes the everyday pain out of web application development, allowing us to focus on delivering real application logic and create seamless experiences that will address the needs of our users. This book will take the pain out of Grails by showing you exactly how to build a web application with a minimum of fuss.
With this book, even if you are new to Grails, you will be up and running before you know it. You will be able to code faster and your code will be better. This clear and concise book is packed with examples and clear instructions to help you build your first Grails application and gives you the skills to speed up your application development by adding a different angle for learning about the topic. After a brief introduction to the dynamic JVM-based Groovy programming language, which teaches you enough about Groovy to understand the relationship between Grails and the Groovy scripting language, it shows how to use Grails and a number of key plug-ins to deliver valuable web applications. It also takes you through creating, developing, testing, and deploying an example team collaboration application in Grails.
Using an incremental and iterative approach you will learn how to build a basic web application with secure authentication and different levels of authorization. You will learn how to handle file upload allowing users to share files. Some advanced features of object-oriented persistence will be introduced through adding tags for messages and files to giving users a robust categorization system.
You will then build on the basic application to enhance the user experience through AJAX and the RichUI plug-in. You will take a further step into the world of Web 2.0 by adding an RSS feed and a REST service to the application. Once the entire application is up and running, you will learn how to create your own plug-in for tagging. Finally, you will learn how to deploy this application to a production environment.
Create a real-world web application with Grails, taking a step-by-step approach to deliver a team collaboration portal.
This book is a guide to building a rich web application using Grails. The approach taken for building the application is incremental and iterative; each chapter will produce a working addition to the application, or iterate over existing features, as well as introduce and carefully explain the new part of the Grails framework used. The book does not go into exhaustive descriptions of every detail of Grails. While there is a lot of code in the book, there are very few large code listings. As you will find, it is not necessary to write reams of code to get results using Groovy and Grails.
Who this book is for
This book is aimed at Java web developers looking for ways to build web applications quickly, and wanting to find out how it's done quickly. If you are frustrated with integrating the many different frameworks that are available for web development and want to get on with building slick web applications for your users, then this book is for you. Grails is built on the Groovy language, but experience in Groovy is not required, as you will learn enough about Groovy to understand how to use Grails.

Sanford's New Police Chief Sworn In
April 1st, 2013 | WMFE- Sanford's new police chief Cecil Smith says he wants to restore trust in the police department. Smith was sworn in during a ceremony Monday morning in front of local dignitaries, city employees and residents.
[Image: Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith talks to the media after his swearing in ceremony]
Cecil Smith, who was the deputy chief of the Elgin Illinois police, said he comes to the job with "a clean slate."
Smith said he's aware of comments about the conduct of some Sanford police officers in the past- but now he wants the department to regain the community's trust.
"I can't tolerate racism in the police department, I can't tolerate people being harassed by police officers," Smith said.
"I have
to make sure our police officers are above board and professional"
The former chief, Bill Lee, was fired following complaints about his department's investigation into the shooting of unarmed Black teenager Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman last year. Zimmerman - who says he acted in self defense- was eventually arrested and charged with second degree murder by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. He is due to stand trial in June.
Smith said he wants to help the community heal and move on from that incident.
Seminole County NAACP branch president Turner Clayton Jr. said divisions between the community and the police stretch back years before the Martin incident.
"You can't put a time limit on how long it's going to take to build that trust- it's not going to happen overnight," Clayton said.
"Of course [Smith] has to try to get his department to do what needs to be done in order to gain the trust of the community once again," he added.

Additional Information
|Additional Information
| What are the wrenches for?
The Caffeine Wrench has three different sized wrenches. 8 mm, 12mm and 13 mm sizes. These sizes represent 95% of the steam wand tip sizes available.
What's the gasket probe for?
The many different groups of varying sizes, shapes and configurations. The gasket probe can be used to remove soft gaskets for maintenance and replacement from many different groups. If your group assembly is held together by a screw or bolt, chances are the probe will work nicely. You'll have a tough time removing the gaskets from a pressure fit type group like the E-61. It's much better to use a scratch awl or similar tool, especially if the gasket is petrified.
Why do you have a wand scraper on the wrench?
While we don't recommend letting your wand get to a point where it needs to be scraped, there are many employees and shop owners and employees who are uninformed about proper wand maintenance. After soaking in a solution like JoeGlo or other brands of solutions. (or even hot water for that matter) A gentle scraping with a beveled, contoured tool works great to remove milk buildup on the wand. It is also gentler and more efficient than a scraper or knife blade.
Why the bend in the tool for?
Some group assemblies are held in with a 7mm or 8mm hex bolt. The bend allows for easy access to this area.
What is the notch for on the 12mm wrench?
The notch is a bottle opener. Simply insert the lip of the bottle top into the notch and pull the bottle up at an angle.
What is a basket pry?
A basket pry makes it easy to "Pop" the basket from your portafilter handle. Simply slide the basket-pry/screwdriver under the lip of the basket and turn the tool like you would a house key. "pop" goes the basket.

"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Laugh riot when the narrator discusses the cleaning habits of dogs; then when a similar cat hygiene pic is shown, the narrator clears his throat and asks for the next photo.
I love all cats and dogs and animals in general; dogs love me (at least the intelligent ones) unconditionally, whereas cats understand me but only show affection on their own terms and when they feel like it. Dogs come when called, and even when not called. Cats hear you calling them, and sit hiding in plain sight with smirks on their faces, "You called? Heh, heh."
Cats have a special place in my heart.
Of course, an equally compelling case could be made for why dogs are better than cats. Or IMO a more compelling case if you want to argue about it - dogs are after all eyes for the blind, weapons for the police, noses for a whole bunch of purposes, and aids to the disabled.
Not to discredit cats' abilities as mousers, but dogs are by far more useful as companions. Of course that is only one definition of 'better'.
Cats could be seen as better pets because they are easier, more independent, and don't need exercise and training. So it's no surprise that there are more cat pets than dog pets in America.

Now i'm not an HT nut, not sure if i really care about it that much at all. BUT, the movies and stuff, the volume on the dialog is to low the music is to loud, a major pain in the butt. I have to sit with the volume control in my hand, going up and down on it. So there must be a better solution to this.
Now my new room will be 11'3" x 13' 11" Now the new Panasonic Plasma, 60" will be sitting on the 13'+ wall. I will be sitting facing it across the 11' area. The reason for this is because there are large windows on one side of the 13'+ room and door openings on the other side. Now i could probably just get away with a Polk sound bar setup. But i also have speakers sitting around doing nothing. Now i have an old set of large Advents which i redid. They work fine. Probably the easiest to push, and all i need is a center channel speaker, than a reasonable HT receiver.
But i also have a set of RTi12's, which once i fix my SDA's...will not be used. Now the problem with these, is i think there just too big for the room, plus you really need a separate amp to power them, to get any good sound out of them. I would NOT put any more speakers in the room, except the 2 fronts and the center channel if that helps. I'm just not that much into this, i just want to hear the dialog and at least some descent sound from the music...thats about it. Don't want my socks blow off by explosions or anything else. I also don't want to spend more then 1K MAX...for any center channel+ receiver deal.
Now the Polk sound bar may be the way to go, but i'd like some info from people who are into this, and what i could do with this room.

There are some great schools in Brazil. Carla Korbes studied at Ballet Vera Bublitz, which invited a Principal Dancer from New York City Ballet to dance Apollo with its young students. That's how Peter Boal discovered Carla Korbes and managed to convince her parents to send her of to NYC to School of American Ballet as a teenager. She danced with NYCB for a while, but Peter Martin's idiocy was Pacific Northwest Ballet's gain. (She'll dance Juliette in Jean-Christophe Maillot's "Romeo et Juliette on Friday/Saturday evening 15-16 February, when PNB visits NYC.)

Irlan Silva ("Only When I Dance") won the YAGP junior division in 2005 and got an apprenticeship through Prix de Lausanne in 2008. He went to ABT II from there and is now at Boston Ballet. He danced on the little stage at the Guggenheim during a 95th birthday tribute to Frederic Franklin, who staged the Raymond excerpts he and other ABT II members danced. (Lovely, elegant dancer.)
There's a long tradition of the schools in Brazil sending their kids to the contests for exposure -- most of the YAGP judges are from dance companies, and they're always scouting for kids for their school -- and, hopefully, scholarships and opportunities. Now that DVD's and videos are the road to getting auditions, it's a bit easier in less traveled parts of the ballet world, but while some of the best dancers I've ever seen, male and female, have come from South America, I think South America is sadly under-represented. (There was a little recognition boom when ABT had a group of excellent male dancers that people grouped together as "South American," which lumped in the Brazilians, the Cubans, and the Spanish.) Still, the competition circuit has become traditional, and a lot of the teachers/coaches go for the same variations, at least in the classical choreography.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "As is usually the case with this wine when it's young, the nose is restrained to the point of being almost mute though aggressive swirling liberates aromas of earth, spice, red currant and hints of the sauvage. And instead of the robust and well-muscled mid-palate there is an almost caressing..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Clos des Lambrays is striking. Dark cherries, plums, wild berries, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this highly expressive, singular wine. A cool vein of minerality is a common thread as the wine continues to take shape in the glass. There is a beguiling, mysterious..

I've met Gavin and he's the sweetest guy. Him getting choked up just now got me a little bit!
Gavin bores me. Did he actually take the hat off? I kind of wasn't watching.
I actually think Gavin is kind of adorable. Sure is he hot drop dead gorgeous like Levy? No but there's something about him that just makes you want to give him a hug.
Katherine's going to be tough to beat. I can't see anyone but Roshon doing it, and he'll have to be his best.

Katherine doesn't need gimmicks, she's got such a natural grace and beauty. Mark still is slimey to me but she seems like such a graceful, real sweetheart.
Should Corky Ballas have been partnered with Katherine??
Not sure about Sherri's Rhumba. Let the judges decide. LOL.

I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I wonder if Kym is thinking that her partner can biff it tonight after the way he treated her...
I actually enjoyed Melissa for the first time tonight.
eta: What the heck is going on with Jaleel? He seems unstable...
Jaleel's scores:

With the scoring being so close tonight, I hope there is not a shocking elimination? And when I say that, I hope Roshon gets the votes, because, I have been voting like crazy for him. His MJ tribute wasn't what I was expecting but I loved it.
There looked like a few slips from Cheryl in that dance... That being said, William Levy, with a shirt undone... Me? Please? Can I have him for Christmas? The sex that he is!
I thought William's Salsa was kind of awkward. I don't get the love for him...
Davis and White's music! William's Samba was hot, could have been neater.

Hi all,
Bear with me as I learn to install my first system. I've got some pretty basic questions, that hopefully someone can take the time to at least point me in the right direction or even answer. Not that I can't search for it myself, I did but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for in these forums. So here goes...
Basically I'm putting together a system that consists of the following:
Kenwood X589 dash unit
2 Blaupunkt PA2150 "T" amps ( 2 channels X approx. 175-178 Watts rms at
4 Ohms, according to Birth certificate )
Blaupunkt TsC 660 component speakers for the front speakers (60 Watts
rms, 180 Watts "max")
Two Pioneer subs - 100 W minimum to 400 W "max" power
Now I know most of you are thinking that first there's nothing Polk in that system so why the hell are you here, and maybe you're thinking that the system is kinda weak too: to the first, I found this forum to be a helpful resource (and couldn't find other forums as useful as this one); to the second thought, well this is my first system and don't have alot of money to spend
on my ride (it's not a showstopper ride, just a Chevy Blazer).
I want to wire the two amps to the dash unit (it has 3 sets of 4V pre-amps). One amp (non-bridged) will power the two subs, and the other (again, non-bridged) will power the front component speakers.
The questions I have are mostly related to the wiring and power:
- Since the amps are 2 X 180 Watts RMS (by birth certificate), is that too much power to feed to the Blaupunkt component speakers? Their "max"
power is 180 Watts and they are 60 Watts rms.
- In a multi-amp install like this, I've read that I need a distribution block, where one side has the power wire running from the battery and the other end has a power wire for each amp, is this right? What gauges should the d-block be? I'm planning on using 4AWG for the battery to d-block run, but the blocks I saw on knukoncepts were 4AWG on one side and 8 AWG on the other - is this what I need? And where is the d-block physically installed, by the battery or near the amps?
- I've read that I need to use one ground wire for both amps - so does it run from the d-block or from the amps, or what?
- How do I install the dedicated amp power wire running from the dash
unit to the amps? Do I split it somehow near the amps?
- The rear speakers are going to stay factory. I'm assuming that I connect those wires at the dash unit, correct?
- What size fuse should I use if the two amps draw 31 and 32 amps respectively at the rated power (non-bridged)? I read that I add them so is a 60 amp fuse correct?
Thanks for reading and thanks even more for helping!

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
African-American-centric talk and music WMCS-AM changes formats
WMCS-AM (1290), the station whose talk and music format has served the African American community for twenty years is changing formats, it was announced Tuesday.
The format change was described as a "business decision" by Bill Hurwitz, vice president of the Milwaukee Radio Alliance, a partnership of Willie Davis' All Pro Broadcasting and Times Shamrock Inc. The group also owns WLDB-FM (93.3) and WLUM-FM (102.1).
"This decision was made by the owners, plural," he said.
Hurwitz said the station has been losing money for a decade. Its low ratings and limited ad base make it an "anomaly in the business," said Hurwitz. "Stations like this, basically super serving the African American community especially on AM, don't exist in this country."
"If not for Willie, the station would have been gone a long time ago," said Hurwitz. He called the decision "the hardest thing I've ever done in 40-years in broadcasting."
The station will continue its charitable outreach programs including the annual Christmas Family Feast with the Salvation Army and the Willie Davis Scholarship fund, said Hurwitz.
As recently as last fall during his book promotion Davis, a former Green Bay Packer great, called his support of WMCS the "fulfillment of a commitment" made when he bought a station then known as WAWA-AM in 1979, that "as long as I had the station an effort would be made to serve and make it available to the African-American population."
When Davis was asked in the earlier interview about whether the Scranton, PA. based Times Shamrock also shared his commitment to the station Davis responded:
"That's an absolutely interesting question. I've asked myself that very question many times. If I went away, what would happen? Would Shamrock honor that commitment? I can't tell you. But I have a sense they have other ideas."
Morning talk show host Eric Von said since Times Shamrock, which owns 50% of the station, "was not part of this community" they "never had an interest in what we do."
Times Shamrock owns seven daily newspapers, 20 weekly newspapers and 12 radio stations.
Hurwitz would not reveal the station's new format, except to say that certain personnel would be retained. "You haven't heard the last of" blues music show host Phil Anderson, he said.
"They believe that Phil's music is marketable," said Von. "And they recognize theres a broad audience for it." But they "never really appreciated what talk radio did for that station."
Von said the blow to African American listeners was compounded by the fact that the change also affects "the more progressive community. By and large we were it in terms of progressive conversations" in a medium dominated by hard right wing conservative" talk radio, Von said. In this audio clip Von describes how Davis recruited him for the station.
State Senator Lena Taylor, who has appeared as a guest on the station's talk shows, said WMCS provided "an option and a voice to those individuals who wanted to hear another perpsective. WMCS served the community well."
In his book Davis calls his alliance with Shamrock an act of self-preservation in the wake of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which removed limits on the number of stations broadcasters could hold, making it harder for smaller broadcasters to compete.
The format change was announced at a 10 a.m. staff meeting. The format switch affects 15 full ad part time employes.
Von said four employes are staying - Anderson; TJ, operations manager and on air host; R&B host Terry Love; and Erica Hayes, a member of the sales staff.
The station immediately starting playing Elvis Presley music, which Hurwitz called "stunting." The term is used in radio to describe what stations often jokingly play in between formats, to disorient competitors and pique interest in the change.
The format switch affects 15 full and part time employees, including afternoon talk show host Earl Ingram. None of the hosts were allowed a farewell show. Hurwitz said they could record messages to the audience to be posted on the station's website.
The choice to play Elvis Presley's music during the transition is an odd one, considering that many believe Presley took black music and reinterpreted it for white audiences.
"I have to admit, my first thought as I left the building and heard 'It's Now or Never' by Elvis, was are they doing this Elvis song to rub something in our faces," said Von.
"I would hate to think so. Maybe it's my personal dislike for Elvis and what he did that is taking over here."

What is the new format?
I hope it goes to country western. I truly miss 920 woky
I heard the new format is going to be all narrative readings, all the time. I'm looking forward to it, "Anna Karenina" is rumored to be first on the list.
"Earl Ingram's Country Classics." Looking forward to it.
The radio geeks on Your Midwest Media think it's going Oldies or Classic Country. http://www.yourmidwestmedia.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3465
Who is Eric Von?
The Street Committee says that the new format will feature songs by Rod Stewart and instrumentals by Yanni.
All these years I never realized how racially divisive Elvis Presley was. Thank you, Eric Von.
I remember reading, some years ago, that Elvis Presley said, "The only thing that a n-word can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes."Hide replies
Well, then you read something terribly incorrect. Even Snopes has debunked that allegation against The King:
You may be 'Colonel Darkstone," but you're no Colonel Tom Parker.
well played J Rawson, well played.
J Rawson Schaller - Please allow me to take my foot out of my mouth. Thanks for the correction and the web site referral. I should have googled this comment, that was erroneously attributed to Elvis, before repeating it and thereby embarrassing myself.

Celtic Studies
Celtic Studies is concerned with the academic study of the Celtic languages, past and present, and the culture and history of the Celts. This ethnic group has played a highly significant role in the development of European civilisation, particularly in the British Isles. Therefore, its culture forms a vital part of the cultural heritage of a large number of Australians.
The Celts may be defined as those peoples who speak or whose forebears have spoken a Celtic language. Early Celtic languages included Celtiberian and Gaulish in ancient continental Europe, Galatian in Asia Minor, as well as British, Goidelic and Pictish in the British Isles. Breton, Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh are the Celtic languages spoken today. The languages available in 2014 as part of the Celtic Studies program are Irish and Scottish Gaelic as well as Welsh; medieval and modern. All language units involve study of the literature in that language. Non-language units of study focus on Celtic culture, history and mythology.
The aim is to enable students who have developed an interest in various aspects of Celtic Studies to pursue a program of study that offers a representative range of subject areas.
Study plan
A major in Celtic Studies requires 36 senior credit points, including 12 credit points of core units of study and 12 senior credit points from Celtic Language units of study, of which 6 must be at 3000 level.
Junior units of study (1000 level):
There are no junior units of study in Celtic Studies. You complete 18 junior credit points taken from any of the following subject areas: Arabic and Islamic Studies, Archaeology, English, French, Ancient Greek, German, Hebrew, History, Italian, Latin, Linguistics, Modern Greek, Sanskrit, or Spanish and Latin American Studies.
Senior units of study (2000 and 3000 level):
You complete at least 12 credit points taken from senior-intermediate (2000 level) units of study, including both core units of study; CLST2601 and CLST2605. In addition to the core units of study you may complete 18 senior credit points from elective units of study at either 2000 or 3000 level.
A major in Celtic Studies also requires completion of at least one pair of Celtic language units of study. Each pair includes one 2000 level and one 3000 level unit of study.
You must complete at least 12 credit points of Celtic Studies units of study at 2000 level before enrolling into 3000 level units.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

Here's my must reads, some you will know and some you won't. Has anyone read them?
A Song of Ice and Fire- Politics and war, redemption and slaughter, a couple dragons, and a tiny bit of magic. Not for the kids. Starts with A Game of Thrones.
The Gentleman Bastard Sequence- Loyalty among thieves, backstabbing among rulers. The dialogue is fantastic, the characters are great, and the settings are unique. Starts with The Lies of Locke Lamora.
Off Armageddon Reef- Religion as a means of control, science as mankind's liberator. Heavy in feudal politics and a little philosophy. Interesting characters, fun plot. A little predictable, and the protagonist is a literal Deus Ex Machina, but still a good read. First in an ongoing series.
The Dragon Circle- My favorite books that no one has read but me. Out of print, but easy to find on Amazon in paperback for dirt cheap. Normal 1960's suburban families thrust into a fantastic setting. There's a Lawn God, a monkey made of lightning, a dog with a demon in him, a man with a sword addiction, a dude who talks to trees and my personal favorite, a talking Raven who claims to be omnipotent. No, he does not feel the need to prove it. Starts with Dragon Sleeping.
Whaddya think, Erfworld?

The independent report, Does IFRS Convergence Affect Financial Reporting Quality in China was prepared by Dr Edward Lee and Professor Martin Walker of Manchester University, together with Dr Colin Zeng from the University of Bristol.
The researchers examined all Chinese companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges between 2003 and 2009 in order to understand whether IFRS convergence made their reported earnings more informative for investors.
The study looked for changes to the value-relevance of earnings – the degree to which changes in reported earnings affect share prices – and found that this increased following IFRS convergence in 2007, and was almost certainly the result of convergence itself.
Manos Schizas, senior economic analyst at ACCA, explained: 'The researchers took advantage of something close to a natural experiment, set up unintentionally by Chinese policymakers. Although IFRS-converged Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS) only came into force in 2007, many companies (issuers of 'B' shares intended largely for foreign investors) were required to provide IFRS reconciliations for years long before this. By observing differences between them and other listed companies, they were able to distinguish changes brought about by IFRS convergence from changes brought about by other trends in the Chinese and global economies.'
The research also revealed that IFRS convergence led to companies improving the quality of disclosures only where there were other strong incentives for them to do so, such as:
- A high level of dependence on the equity markets for funding
- Being outside of direct Government control and lacking access to Government subsidies
- Being based in a less-developed region
- Having significant foreign ownership
- Being a manufacturer.
Manos Schizas added: 'IFRS convergence is a good example of how Chinese policymakers have matched and integrated accounting reforms with economic ones – it is actively helping China achieve more balanced, equitable and sustainable growth led by the private sector. Like most recent reforms of the accountancy profession in the country, convergence has been closely associated with the China's development as a market economy.'
For ACCA, the findings give further weight to the importance of IFRS as the international standard for financial reporting, with Manos Schizas concluding: 'We've always argued that global standards benefit investors; convergence has worked for China, and other markets are sure to take notice.'
Professor Martin Walker of Manchester University commented: 'Other studies have suggested that emerging economies such as China would not necessarily benefit from IFRS convergence because of their legal enforcement and investor protection frameworks are still incomplete. This study shows that IFRS convergence has been beneficial where companies have had appropriate legal, governance and commercial incentives to provide high-quality disclosures; and that seems to have been the case for most, but not all, companies. As China's capital markets continue to develop, the benefits of IFRS convergence will grow.'
ACCA believes that these findings vindicate the views of such stakeholders as the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CICPA), who argue that local application of international standards is of paramount importance and will remain a challenge for years to come. ACCA shares the belief that, in order to consolidate and build on the benefits of convergence, the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the accountancy profession will need to be enhanced on a continuous basis.

Background to the Creation of the Dementia Ethics Network
Dementia Ethics Network
Thanks to the support of the German Ministry of Health, Alzheimer Europe was be able to start with the development of a European Dementia Ethics Network in 2009. This article provides background information as to how the Network came into being and first appeared in the Dementia in Europe magazine (issue 4) in 2009.
A Common Reflection on Dementia Ethics
At last year's French Presidency Conference on Alzheimer's disease, President Sarkozy highlighted the need for Member States of the European Union to have an exchange on some of the ethical challenges posed by dementia and advocated the creation of a European network for this purpose. This recognition of the importance of the ethical aspects of dementia was echoed in the European Commission's Alzheimer's initiative and a common reflection on dementia ethics is highlighted as one of the priority areas for European collaboration.
In parallel to these developments, the German Health Ministry and Alzheimer Europe held a number of meetings to explore the setting up of a European Dementia Ethics Network and in September 2009, Ulla Schmidt, German Minister for Health announced that the implementation and setting up costs of such a network would be supported financially with a grant of EUR 60,000.
The initiative dates back to 2008, when Michael Schmieder, the director of Sonnweid, a care facility in Switzerland, put forward the concept of such a network based on the need for family and professional carers to get support when faced with ethical dilemmas. At a workshop in September 2008, the concept was discussed in more detail with ethics experts from various European countries (see Issue 2 of the Dementia in Europe Magazine for more details) and was welcomed by all participants.
Thanks to the support of the German Ministry for Health, Alzheimer Europe has now set in motion the first steps towards the establishment of greater European collaboration on dementia ethics:
- Dianne Gove, the information officer of Alzheimer Europe has been appointed as coordinator of the European Dementia Ethics Network,
- a number of key ethics experts, such as François Blanchard from France, Andreas Kruse from Germany and Sigurd Sparr from Norway have agreed to take part in the Ethics Advisory Board set up to monitor the activities of the network,
- the first priorities of the network have been decided and the network will focus on the ethical implications of new technologies, as well as some of the ethical challenges (consent, placebo research, genetic testing) posed by dementia research,
- the new website of Alzheimer Europe will include a specific section dedicated to dementia ethics and information on some of the ethical approaches to dementia has already been included on the website.
Dianne Gove, the coordinator of the network summarised the main objectives as follows: "The network wants to foster European dialogue around the ethical issues in dementia and promote a better understanding of different ethical approaches, create a European reference library of existing ethical positions, draft reports on specific ethical issues such as the use of new technologies and highlight areas where a consensus or differences exist."
