Don't push them more than a very little. If you push too much you could loose their trust and if you loose trust you will be fighting an up hill battle to teach them anything.
Trust has to be earned it is never taken for granted. But trust is also very fragile and takes very little to be broken.
Do what you say and say what you are going to do. Never say one thing and then do another. You will loose trust.

DAVID KELLER, PLAINTIFF,v.CITY OF SCRANTON, MARK SEITZINGER, AND MICHAEL MITCHELL, DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: A. Richard Caputo United States District Judge
Presently before the Court is Defendants the City of Scranton ("Scranton"), Mark Seitzinger ("Seitzinger"), and Michael Mitchell's ("Mitchell") Motion to Dismiss. (Doc. 13.) For the reasons discussed below, the motion will be granted in part and denied in part. This Court has jurisdiction over the federal causes of action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (federal question).
The facts alleged in Plaintiff's Amended Complaint are as follows: Plaintiff David Keller was at all relevant times the owner of the real property situated at 605-607 Cedar Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania. (Amend. Compl. ¶¶ 1, 9, Doc. 10.) Defendant Scranton is a duly organized municipality of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (Amend. Compl. ¶ 2.) Defendant Seitzinger was at all relevant times the "Director of the Department of Licensing, Inspections and Permits/Building Code Official for the City of Scranton." (Amend. Compl. ¶ 3.) Defendant Mitchell was at all relevant times the "Deputy Director of Public Safety and Conservation for the City of Scranton." (Amend. Compl. ¶ 4.)
On or about August 2008, Seitzinger and Mitchell scheduled the demolition of the improvements on Plaintiff's property. (Amend. Compl. ¶ 11.) Defendants also arbitrarily entered Plaintiff's property without a search warrant and without probable cause. (Amend. Compl. ¶ 13.) Defendants demolished Plaintiff's premises without providing him notice or an opportunity to exercise his due process rights. (Amend. Compl. ¶¶ 13, 24.) Defendants acted "pursuant to a specific design, plan, and policy to substitute the criteria of the Ordinances of Defendant, City of Scranton, and The Code with the criteria, discretion, and will, of the individual Defendants." (Amend. Compl. ¶ 17.) Defendants decision was based upon their own personal criteria and animosity. (Amend. Compl. ¶ 25.)
Plaintiff filed a complaint on December 24, 2009, bringing claims against Scranton and Seitzinger. (Doc. 1.) After Defendants Scranton and Seitzinger moved to dismiss the complaint, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 17, 2010, adding claims against Defendant Mitchell. (Doc. 10.) All Defendants filed the present motion to dismiss on February 23, 2010. (Doc. 13.) This motion has been fully briefed by both parties, and is now ripe for disposition.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) provides for the dismissal of a complaint, in whole or in part, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. FED. R. CIV. P. 12(b)(6). Dismissal is appropriate only if, accepting as true all the facts alleged in the complaint, a plaintiff has not pleaded "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face," Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007), meaning enough factual allegations "'to raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of'" each necessary element. Phillips v. County of Allegheny, 515 F.3d 224, 234 (3d Cir. 2008) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556); see also Kost v. Kozakiewicz, 1 F.3d 176, 183 (3d Cir. 1993) (requiring a complaint to set forth information from which each element of a claim may be inferred). In light of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2), the statement need only "'give the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.'" Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 93 (2007) (per curiam) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555). "[T]he factual detail in a complaint [must not be] so undeveloped that it does not provide a defendant [with] the type of notice of claim which is contemplated by Rule 8." Phillips, 515 F.3d at 232; see also Airborne Beepers & Video, Inc. v. AT&T Mobility LLC, 499 F.3d 663, 667 (7th Cir. 2007).
In deciding a motion to dismiss, the Court should consider the allegations in the complaint, exhibits attached to the complaint, and matters of public record. See Pension Benefit Guar. Corp. v. White Consol. Indus., Inc., 998 F.2d 1192, 1196 (3d Cir. 1993). The Court may also consider "undisputedly authentic" documents when the plaintiff's claims are based on the documents and the defendant has attached copies of the documents to the motion to dismiss. Id. The Court need not assume the plaintiff can prove facts that were not alleged in the complaint, see City of Pittsburgh v. W. Penn Power Co., 147 F.3d 256, 263 & n.13 (3d Cir. 1998), or credit a complaint's "'bald assertions'" or "'legal conclusions,'" Morse v. Lower Merion Sch. Dist., 132 F.3d 902, 906 (3d Cir. 1997) (quoting In re Burlington Coat Factory Sec. Litig., 114 F.3d 1410, 1429-30 (3d Cir. 1997)). "While legal conclusions can provide the framework of a complaint, they must be supported by factual allegations." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1950 (2009).
When considering a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, the Court's role is limited to determining whether a plaintiff is entitled to offer evidence in support of her claims. See Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236 (1974). The Court does not consider whether a plaintiff will ultimately prevail. See id. A defendant bears the burden of establishing that a plaintiff's complaint fails to state a claim. See Gould Elecs. v. United States, 220 F.3d 169, 178 (3d Cir. 2000).
Plaintiff's Amended Complaint contains one count with multiple theories of liability. Plaintiff alleges a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for violations of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment Rights. Section 1983 provides redress for individuals whose constitutional rights are violated by governmental actors.*fn1 "To establish a claim under § 1983, a plaintiff must allege (1) a deprivation of a federally protected right, and (2) commission of the deprivation by one acting under color of state law." Lake v. Arnold, 112 F.3d 682, 689 (3d Cir.1997).Plaintiff alleges that each of the individual Defendants acted as an agent of Scranton, a governmental entity, and therefore, he has ...

Some time ago, after many requests I created a 1 hour daimoku video. This was done with love as many people had asked about creating something on Youtube that they could use to chant with their friends and at their meetings.
Due to a rather strange legal battle, it was removed. After many many letters and requests I fought this battle and won! Since then I have decided that I wanted us to record our own audio and share that with the world.
Ideally we would all chant together regularly, not only is it an inspirational and uplifting experience but it enlivens our practice and reminds us about why we chant.
Unity, is an essential part of our organisation, "many in body and one in mind" is the principle that we are all working together to bring change to the world. This doesn't mean we are mindless drones following a far away leader, but working together to make a difference, with the same vision in our hearts.
For me the principle function of the SGI is preserve the teachings for Nichiren Buddhism, but also to empower individual people to become more, to stand up and have the courage to make powerful changes in their lives, their communities and the world.
The chanting of Daimoku (nam myoho renge kyo), is a enigmatic and profound process of actualising the inner self-worth and resolve that builds a strength, allowing a person to become a truly great human being.
Now greatness isn't about money, or material possessions, but instead about potential within our humanity.
There are many examples of people from all walks of life, from the every corner of the Earth who have stood up, within their communities and changed the impossible.
This has happend because of self belief, hope and vision.
The worlds people need more hope, vision and self belief and I am certain that the more us who begin to find the true nature of our being, the closer we will get to a peaceful Earth.
Join me and many others on June 8th 2013 at the London Ikeda Peace Center at 12pm - 3pm for a live 1 hour recording of Daimoku, as a gift for the world. It will be given its own page on the internet and will be our way of sharing our voices and prayers with the millions of other Buddhists and non-Buddhists across the globe.
"Awaken to the vast power you possess! Chant Daimoku with the firm belief that you will achieve a life of great fulfilment. This itself is the true heritage" - Daisaku Ikeda
Hope to see you there.

這帥照 ─ 實在像極了 「班艾佛列克」!
Brit becomes first to visit every country in the world without flying
November 27, 2012 8:38 am
Graham Hughes, a British adventurer, has become the first person in the world to visit all 201 sovereign states without flying. Early Monday, he ended a near four-year journey to travel to all the states with his arrival in South Sudan, the newest nation in the world. The 33-year-old used buses, trains, taxis, boats and other means of transport, including walking, to travel 160,000 miles in 1,426 days without setting foot on a plane. His adventure only cost him an average of less than £10 a day.
Hughes started this adventure on 1 January 2009 from his home in Liverpool. He has visited every United Nations member state (of which there are 193), as well as the four home nations of the UK, Taiwan, Western Sahara, Palestine, Vatican City and Kosovo. He filmed the journey for a documentary and has been raising money for the Water Aid charity. Some of the highlights he has made of the adventure include watching one of the last Space Shuttle launches for NASA, swimming in a Palau lake of jellyfish and dancing with tribes in the Papua New Guinea jungle.
Talking to Monitor Monday from South Sudan, Hughes said that he loves travelling. He thinks his reason for doing this was to see if it could be done by one person travelling with little funds. He thinks he also wanted to demonstrate that the world isn't a big, scary place. In fact, it's full of people who want to help, even if the person they are helping is a stranger.
He continued that he feels intense gratitude to everyone who helped him set this record and get to where he is today. They gave him a lift, let him sleep on their couch or just pointed him in the right direction. He thought about why he was doing this at times – when he was riding in an awful truck on bad roads or sitting in a Cambodia bus station at 1am. There was always a reason that kept him going.
Some people asked him how he would get into North Korea, Afghanistan or Iraq, Hughes went on, but those were the easy countries to visit. He explained that a visa isn't needed to get into Iraq, as anyone can just walk across the Turkish border. The tough places to visit were Seychelles, Nauru and the Maldives. These island nations also have the threat of pirates. The adventurer hitched rides on cargo ships to cross oceans and spent four days travelling from Senegal to Cape Verde in an open fishing canoe, but he was arrested upon arrival. He was also jailed for six days by Democratic Republic of Congo officials on suspicion of being a spy. However, he says these things just made him more determined to succeed.
Hughes did recall the hardest part of his journey, when he just wanted to give up. This happened when Nicola, his older sister, passed away at the age of 39 from cancer in 2010. He hurried home, and was able to see her before she passed on. He recalls her telling him not to stop the trip, but he was in a really low place. He had been to 184 countries with only 17 left and considered leaving it at that. However, his sister's memory kept him going, along with the people he met on the way and the money he raised for Water Aid, a charity that works to bring developing countries clean water.
Hughes is planning to stay two days in South Sudan, but he won't fly home. He will keep the spirit of his adventure and travel through Africa and across Europe on buses and boats. His goal is to reach Liverpool on a ferry from Ireland by Christmas.
Guinness World Records has confirmed that Hughes is the first person to do this without flying. He also holds the record for visiting the most nations in one year on scheduled ground transport, with 133 countries in 2009.

U.S. Rep. Bobby L. Rush Secures $550,000 For The New University Of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital
Chicago, IL. ---- Congressman Bobby L. Rush was on hand today at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new University of Chicago Comer Childrens Hospital, the newest pediatric hospital in the city, which is slated to open in late winter. The $135-million facility, designed to be at the forefront of pediatric care, provides a state-of-the-art, family-focused environment for all in-patient pediatric services at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
Rep. Rush secured $550,000 in federal funds, which will go toward facility development and a new pediatric emergency room. Completion of this project is scheduled for the summer of 2006.
The new University of Chicago Comer Childrens Hospital is a showcase of what occurs when concerned citizens, advanced medical technology and government come together on behalf of our children, said Rush.
The new hospital is named after Gary C. Comer, founder of the Lands End clothing-catalogue company, and his wife, Frances, who together donated $21 million to help build the facility. This matches the largest donation ever presented to the University of Chicago Hospitals. Its the fourth largest naming gift to any childrens hospital in the United States.
Construction began on the University of Chicago Comer Childrens Hospital in 2001. The 242,000-square-foot, 155-bed, seven-story building is home to nationally recognized programs in cardiology, neurology, neonatology, transplantation and other medical and surgical specialties. Its more than twice the size of the current childrens hospital, which covers 95,000 square feet and has 140 beds.
Comer Childrens Hospital extends north to south from 57th Street to 58th Street, and east to west from Drexel Avenue to Maryland Avenue. Its 354 feet long and 133 feet wide. Bridges, tunnels and walkways connect it to the Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital, the adult in-patient facility, and the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine, which houses both the outpatient pediatric and adult specialty clinics.
We couldnt have done this without the tremendous support of Gary and Frances Comer, said Michael Riordan, president and chief executive officer of the University of Chicago Hospitals. Their generous donation enables Comer Childrens Hospital to be the best in providing pediatric health care.
The new hospital provides the optimal setting for the rapidly advancing technologies of pediatric medicine. It includes two 30-bed medical/surgical units, predominantly private rooms. It includes a two-story, 30-bed pediatric intensive care unit, more than twice the capacity of the current unit. The neonatal intensive care unit, at 55 beds, already one of the largest in the Midwest, expanded to 65 beds and doubled the space per bed. The new hospital has six surgical suites, with operating rooms, 21 preoperative areas and recovery rooms designed to suit the specific needs of pediatric and newborn surgical patients.
The University of Chicago Comer Childrens Hospital is a remarkable synthesis of form and function. Doctors, nurses, parents and even the children we treat contributed to the design process, said Steve A. N. Goldstein, M.D., Ph.D., chairman of the department of pediatrics and physician-in-chief of the University of Chicago Comer Childrens Hospital. The result is a light, cheerful, inviting space that contains the most advanced diagnostic, medical and surgical technology in the world. In Chicagos Comer Childrens Hospital we will provide health care in an environment designed so that our children and their families feel safe, positive and at-home.
Designed for Family-Focused Care
Comer Children's Hospital unites advanced technology with a family-focused, kid-friendly philosophy embraced at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital. Two architecture firms worked together to design Comer Childrens Hospital. Stanley Beaman & Sears, based in Atlanta, was responsible for the buildings exterior. A team from the Chicago office of HLM Design planned the hospitals interior. Design input also came from doctors, nurses and staff as well as patients and their families.
The result was a hospital where children and their families have a level of control over their environment. Patient rooms are big enough to accommodate family members 308 square feet, compared to the 177 square feet of the current childrens hospital and include a pullout sofa bed for parents and flat-screen TVs from which children can access on-demand movies, music, appropriate Web sites and e-mail. Patients can regulate the climate and lighting of their rooms and adjust the height of the showerhead in their bathroom. They also can order food from a menu and have it delivered similar via room service style.

Now we have three more fine young men to introduce to you. First, meet Sebastian...
This little cutie arrived two weeks ago, and he is now almost five months old. He really is teeny-tiny, born prematurely with urological and orthopedic issues.
Marcus also arrived two weeks ago, and he is nearly one year old. As you can see from his skin color, he is waiting for liver transplant surgery. We're waiting and hoping for a suitable liver to become available...
Finally, meet Tyler, our most recent arrival.
Tyler is nearly 14 months old, and came into our care just last week. He's already had heart surgery and faces some other medical challenges, including malnutrition. Despite all he's been through, he is a cheerful little guy and has already begun to talk and stand with support.
Our amazing nannies are busy, getting to know their precious new charges and caring for them. We can't wait to show you more pictures so that you can see the difference that love makes in these boys' lives.
Did you know that you can play a part in making that difference? All three boys need monthly sponsors and surgery funds.

Brighthelm Centre Rest Gardens
©Tony Mould: all images copyrighted
Local listing is different to statutory listing; it does not provide further legislative controls. and does not affect when planning permission is required. However, when planning permission is required, the 'special interest' of a locally listed heritage asset will be taken into account. In 2013 the council asked for nominations for inclusion in the list; over five hundred submissions were considered. The Local List of Heritage Assets was adopted on 18th June 2015, it will be reviewed in 2020; other items in the current list can be seen here.
The gardens are the former burial ground to Hanover Chapel, Listed Grade II, and now part of the Brighthelm Centre. The Hanover Chapel was built in 1824/5. It has been suggested that the site was already a burial ground from possibly as early as the 1700s. The burial ground originally extended further to the west. Queen's Road was built over this part in 1845. The original boundary wall and railing survive on the west side of Queen's Road.
The boundary between the park and Queen's Road is marked by railings, which are Grade II listed. Burials ceased in around the early 1850s, and the burial ground became a public garden in 1884. The gravestones were moved to the boundaries of the site in 1949, at which point an inventory of the memorials was compiled. All historic OS maps and surviving drawings show the site to be laid out with a single linear route providing access from Church Street to the Chapel. The drawings show this to be lined with railings and trees.
The Brighthelm Centre Rest Gardens is a rare example of a city centre burial ground and surviving green space within the North Laine. Although the gardens have changed over time, indications of their original use as a burial ground survive, as well as elements of their design as a public park.
An ancestor of mine was buried here in January 1837.
Is the inventory of memorials (mentioned above) to be found at The Keep now?
Editor's note:
You can find them here Alan.Jennifer
Sad to say, my ancestor was not amongst them, but many thanks anyway Jennifer. Regards, Alan.
My three times great-grandmother Elizabeth Sargeant was also buried here in 1844. Fortunately her inscription does survive and some years ago, before all these things were on-line, I was able to obtain a transcription from the archives at Lewes. "Sacred to the Memory of Elizabeth wife of Samuel Sargeant, who died 4th April 1844 aged 64 years". This appears under No 211 in the listing referred to above. Unfortunately the name is spelt incorrectly, (Sargent) although it is correct on BMDs. I was told that many of the old gravestones had been put to the sides of the burial ground so I went there to have a look for hers but I couldn't find it amongst the brambles and weeds which were there then. At the time Samuel Sargeant was Clerk of Works for the Board of Ordnance and was working on the Church Street Barracks. He also worked on the Preston Barracks, Canterbury Military Hospital, and the Royal Burial Vaults at Frogmore.

Chocolate Chestnut Roulade
Before I share with you the deliciousness of this thoroughly festive pud, I plead with you to click here. I think that Jeanne says it all really. Today is the last day of the Menu for Hope campaign - you have a terrific chance of winning a great prize and the children of Lesotho really will benefit from your contribution. Go on. It is only £5 and will only take a moment. There is still a great chance to win a private wine tasting for 8 hosted by none other than yours truly. But there are lots of other fantastic prizes too - please take a look. Thank you.
Now then. Do you like chocolate?
I thought as much. Do you like sweetened chestnuts?
If so, this is the pudding for you. A typical French Christmas pudding the 'bûche de Noel' (or Christmas Log') is often the preferred choice for children who aren't so keen on rich fruit cake. This version is perhaps more suited to the grown ups though - it is dark, moist and really rather wicked.
The recipe is essentially one pertaining to good old Delia, but I've changed this slightly. I found the chestnut filling too runny so added a little more mascarpone. I didn't have any whole chestnuts and I used a little less cream in the middle. Click here for the original version, or take a look below for mine...
Chocolate Chestnut Roulade
(serves 8-10)
For the roulade -
2oz cocoa powder
6 eggs, separated
5oz golden caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing sugar to dust
For the filling -
3oz/250g tin of sweetened crème de marrons
1 tablespoon Cognac
3oz mascarpone
1oz icing sugar
5 fl oz double cream
1. Preheat oven to 190C. Line a shallow baking tin (9 by 13 inches) with greased baking paper, leaving the paper sticking around an inch above the sides of the tin. To do this, cut a sheet larger than the tray and then cut diagonal slits at each corner.
2. Beat together egg yolks, sugar and vanilla with an electric whisk until doubled in size and pale and creamy.
3. In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Carefully fold the whites into the yolk mixture, taking care to keep as much air in as possible. Finally, fold in the cocoa.
4. Bake for 20 minutes and then leave to cool in the tin.
5. Meanwhile mix the filling ingredients together, with the exception of the cream.
6. Cut a large sheet of baking paper and dust with icing sugar. Turn the roulade out onto the sheet of paper. Spread with the chestnut mixture, leaving a border of around 3/4 inch around the edge.
7. Whip the cream until spreadable and place on top of the chestnut cream.
8. Very carefully roll the roulade up widthways using the paper rather than your hands. It will crack, so don't worry. This adds to the rustic look of this dessert! Keeping it in the paper, place in the fridge so that it holds its shape a little better.
9. Remove from fridge around twenty minutes before you want to eat it. Unwrap the paper and sprinkle with more icing sugar, if required. Slice and enjoy!

The American right LOVES to claim that they are "libertarians." They like to wear funny tricornered hats and wave Revolutionary period flags and claim privileged connection to the heritage of the American Revolution. But then do stuff like vehemently (and occasionally violently) opposing equal rights based on gender, race and religion. They also rail against welfare but have no problem with bloated defense contracts, agricultural subsidies and tax breaks for churches (as long as they agree with the political positions of the churches in question). The latest instance of this departure from libertarianism is the circulation of the private data (including social security numbers, addresses, etc) of hundreds of SUSPECTED illegal immigrants in Utah. Suspected by whom? Well, the tea party vigilante who ILLEGALLY collected and circulated the data that's who.

American Conservatives Are Not Libertarians (again)
Posted by Raised By Republicans at 4:48 AM
3 comments:
- The Law Talking Guy said...
Since the goal of libertarian philosophy is (and always was) to find a way for the wealthy and powerful to abjure any social responsibility, it is no surprise that it is closely aligned with traditional conservatism, even confused with it.
What is a shame is how readily the 60s generation of hippies - with its barely disguised anti-Americanism - allowed conservatives of every stripe to seize the symbols of the American people for themselves. Revolutionary gear should, by its very nature, be the garb of liberals, not modern-day Tories.
- Raised By Republicans said...
LTG, do you have anything legalistic to add about this data theft/dump in Utah?
- The Law Talking Guy said...
There aren't a lot of rules to prohibit person A from saying true, but private, things about person B. The causes of action for revealing private true things usually require a lot of personal malice and are real hard anyway. Even if the data is collected illegally, it is not illegal to publish it (see the Pentagon Papers).
My main thought is that this sort of thing can only backfire. You harm one innocent person and it all comes down on you.

CINCINNATI—Sickle cell disease affects people of all ages.But according to physicians at UC and University Hospital, many patients who are diagnosed as children aren't fully prepared to deal with the additional health problems they may encounter as adults.
Now, Thomas Webb, MD, and his colleagues are collaborating with sickle cell experts to create a comprehensive treatment network in Cincinnati, helping patients of all ages optimally manage care on their own.
"Many of the secondary conditions accompanying sickle cell anemia present themselves in adulthood," says Webb, assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at UC. "Those children who have sickle cell anemia may not have the resources to deal with the disorder, both medically and financially, as adults."
Last fall, the researchers received a $1.28 million grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to launch a program that will help with transitional care from childhood through the adult years.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder in which red blood cells are abnormally shaped. This abnormality can result in episodes of severe pain, serious infections, chronic anemia and organ damage.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 70,000 people have sickle cell disease in the United States.
The program is a partnership between the sickle cell centers at the UC College of Medicine, University Hospital, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the local chapter of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, West End Health Center and Winton Hills Medical and Health Center.
Webb says the program will have three branches: collaborative patient care, patient education/counseling and pediatric-to-adult transitional treatment.
"We want to develop a chronic disease self-management training program to help patients deal with their disease and adapt to living life with it," he says.
During a six-week course, patients will learn the importance of caring for their bodies through proper nutrition, exercise and pain management.
In addition, the sickle cell network will provide access to psychologists, social workers and job counselors to ensure each patient's emotional and vocational needs are addressed. Gwendolyn Brown, a sickle cell patient and health educator with UC, says people with sickle cell are often under-employed because of their medical complications.
"We can offer patients additional training and employment options," she says.
Patients will also receive genetic counseling and learn how sickle cell anemia is passed from generation to generation.
Webb says training will be offered to primary care doctors, who can help co-manage the disease for patients. Webb adds that because diagnosis usually takes place in childhood, pediatric physicians were historically more likely to treat the illness.
"As the longevity of patients has continued to improve, sickle cell disease has become a chronic adult condition as well," Webb says. "It is beneficial for adult patients to receive care from an adult care provider. In this program, doctors—from the pediatrician to the adult primary care doctor to the hematologist—have direct access to each other and share information to ensure quality, tailored care for patients."
Stephen Wilson, MD, assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics, who is also helping to facilitate the network, says this program will help consolidate existing treatment guidelines with newer treatment recommendations for primary care physicians.
"Two decades ago, the life span for those with sickle cell anemia was about 25 to 30 years," he says. "Now, patients are living into their 50s and 60s. This program will assist in developing a medical home for patients and will create a better care system for individuals living with sickle cell."

The drama never ends in Hotlanta. Just as the most intense season ever of Real Housewives of Atlanta winds down (part three of the knock-down reunion airs this Sunday), series vet Kandi Burruss is gearing up for her own limited-run spinoff: Her April 4 wedding to Todd Tucker!
Us Weekly has the first look at The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi's Wedding, which premieres on Bravo Sunday, June 1 at 8 p.m. EST. As Burruss and her man race to put the finishing touches on their over-the-top bash (hint: it's inspired by Coming to America!), there are multiple external factors making the blessed day more stressful than usual.
For starters, there's Burruss' notoriously opinionated Mama Joyce, whose disapproval for Todd was a painful sticking point thoughout season six. What happens when Todd's own mother joins the fray? What about Kandi's best friend Carmen, the victim of a rumor planted by Joyce? And what role will a small-person stripper—and a lion—have to do with the wedding day?!
Burruss is just the latest of Housewives alum to snag a wedding-themed spinoff. NeNe Leakes, Bethenny Frankel, Tamra Barney and Kim Zolciak all similarly invited Bravo's cameras into their special day. Watch the tearful, action-packed preview of Kandi's Wedding now!

TONY BLAIR has agreed to a U-turn on foxhunting by making a ban a pledge in Labour's election manifesto.
His decision, which was reached last week in private meetings with ministers, marks the abandonment of the Government's insistence that it will be "neutral" on the Bill to ban hunting with dogs.
It comes before a crucial division in the Commons on Wednesday when MPs will choose between three options in the Bill: self-regulation by hunts, licensing hunting and banning it. An overwhelming majority - mainly Labour MPs - is expected to vote for a ban.
Until now, ministers have argued that the Government is not promoting a ban but merely seeking to ensure that Parliament has the time and information to reach a decision. Instead, its full weight will be thrown behind a ban during the election campaign, including a commitment in Labour's manifesto.
The Bill is expected to run out of time when the election is called but would be reintroduced by Labour in the new session.
The Prime Minister briefed the whips on the new approach at a private meeting in the Commons last Thursday. Mike O'Brien, the Home Office minister responsible for the Bill, has prepared a paper for Downing Street on the practicalities of "moving away from neutrality". A formal announcement will be made after both Houses of Parliament have voted.
The change of policy is partly driven by a strategic decision by Labour to concentrate on shoring up its "core vote" before the election. Many activists and supporters made clear that they were dismayed by the Government's apparently lukewarm support for a ban, fuelling fears of a worryingly low turn-out on election day.
A minister said: "Attempting to be neutral has made us look shifty and equivocal rather than fair-minded, which wins us no friends but puts off our old supporters. This will now become a clear cut issue at the election, which I think will work in our favour."
Labour had hoped that it could steer a middle way between satisfying activists, who mainly favour a ban, and appeasing rural communities. In its last manifesto, it only promised to hold a free vote in the Commons. The next manifesto had been due to give no more than a commitment to ensure that the current Bill would be allowed Government time to be passed.
The idea of neutrality was spelt out in the Commons by Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, when he unveiled the multi-option Bill in July. He said: "The Government remain neutral: their role in presenting a Bill is that of a facilitator, enabling Parliament to reach a conclusion."
Conservatives last night said that Labour was revealing its true colours. David Lidington, the Tory home affairs spokesman, said: "They are dropping the pretence of being neutral, and also the pretence of being willing to listen to the evidence about hunting.
"This will be a very divisive commitment. I suspect that they are not so much worried about their core voters but that they just want another million from the Political Animal Lobby."
At the last election, that group donated £1 million to Labour on the understanding that the party would ban foxhunting. It has threatened to stop funding Labour unless legislation is passed.
In Wednesday's division, Mr Blair will support a ban backed by fines of up to £5,000, if he is present for the vote. This puts him at odds with Mr Straw, who favours making hunting a licensed activity, supervised by a hunting authority that would include landowners, farmers and animal welfare groups.
Hunting enthusiasts will hold a vigil outside the Commons all this week to protest at the Bill, which passed its Second Reading with a majority of 215 last month. Ministers believe a ban could be imposed in 2002.

Initializing Global Variables and Synchronous AJAX Calls in an Angular XPages Application
In a recent project (an XPages application with an Angular front end), I had a need to (a) run a script to determine user access and (b) store that value globally. In this post, I'll show one way to achieve this with a synchronous AJAX call and a module run block.
Use Case
In this application, the front end pages need to know whether the user has Admin rights in the application in order to determine whether to display advanced options such as configuration links.
The security check needs to be run before the page is loaded and it needs to be stored globally so that the security check does not have to run constantly as many page elements are loaded.
Initial Implementation
I created a custom REST service that checks the user's roles and returns a boolean value for whether the user is an Admin in the application. I called it via AJAX and stored the value in the
I then set up the logic from each admin-controlled feature call a function to check whether the value existed in
$rootScope. If not, the function would make the AJAX call to look up the value and store it.
The code to call the REST service looks like this:
$http.get('rest.xsp/isUserAdmin').success(function (data) { $rootScope.isAdmin = (data == 'true') ? true : false; })
The logic seemed to be set up properly. However, it didn't initially work as I expected.
The Problem
Watching the Net panel in the browser tools made it clear that the AJAX call was being made many times as each page loaded.
The AJAX calls were fired off so rapidly that numerous calls were made before any of them had a return value available in the
It turns out that Angular's AJAX calls are asynchronous by design. For the most part, this is great because it keeps the application more responsive. However, in this case, I needed the security check to complete before loading the rest of the page.
The Solution
Ultimately, I solved the problem by making two changes.
- Moved the role-checking code to a module run block so it would run before page load
- Replaced the Angular AJAX call with a standard jQuery AJAX call so I could add a parameter to force the call to be synchronous.
As the application loads, it will call the REST service and wait for the response. When done, it will store the value in the
Here is a link to the Angular.js module documentation.
Run blocks are the closest thing in Angular to the main method. A run block is the code which needs to run to kickstart the application. It is executed after all of the service have been configured and the injector has been created.
A run block generally goes in the
app.js file rather than in a controller. Just add a
run() method to the application and include the required directive and code.
This code sets up a function in the run block that includes a synchronous jQuery AJAX call to an XPages REST service, and stores the return value in the
$rootScope for global access in the application. This runs immediately and the global variable is initialized and available when the rest of the page loads.
// Make the user access check available globally PSApps.run(['$rootScope', function($rootScope) { // Use jQuery for a synchronous http request -- angular hard-codes all requests to be asynchronous $.ajax('rest.xsp/isUserAdmin', {async: false}) .success(function (data) { $rootScope.isAdmin = (data == 'true') ? true : false; console.log('is user admin? ' + data); }); } ]);
Then, all places that need to check the value in order to determine whether to display an element can just reference the global property.
Fixing an SSLv3 Error Connecting to Bitbucket from SourceTree with Mercurial
I started receiving an SSLv3 Handshake error message when using SourceTree to synchronize a Mercurial repository to Bitbucket. In this post, I'll show how the issue can be resolved.
The Error
The error message is a bit cryptic:
abort:error:_ssl.c:504:error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure
The Cause
Atlassian's Head of Security announced that they removed SSL V3 support from cloud platforms due to the POODLE vulnerability.
Earlier versions of Mercurial used SSL V3.0 and are now failing when connecting to Bitbucket as a result.
The Solution
My SourceTree application is up-to-date, but that doesn't take care of the problem. The issue is that the underlying version of Mercurial needed to be updated.
Fortunately, the solution is an easy one.
You can check the version of Mercurial being used by SourceTree by selecting Tools > Options and then clicking on the Mercurial tab.
In my configuration, SourceTree is set up to use the system version of Mercurial, which was at version 2.7.1. I switched to the embedded version and ran the update via the button on the right of the screen, but the embedded version was only updated to Mercurial 2.6.1.
Ultimately, I had to download the latest version of Mercurial from Selenic's site.
After I ran the installation, the problem was fixed.
Formatting Select2 Options in Angular
One of the great features of Select2 is that you can format the choices beyond just a list of text values. In this post, I'll show how you can format the display of values in a Select2 in Angular.
Before we dig in…
These examples were adapted from an XPages application that uses Angular, but there's nothing related to XPages in the code shown here. (In reality, you'd likely call an XPages REST service to dynamically populate the list of choices, but it's not necessary in these examples.)
If you've used a Select2 in any other context, then the solution here may not be surprising. If you haven't, then you'll see how Select2 choices can be formatted.
The examples in this post use the ui-select2 for Angular. (There's a note at the top of the page that says this control has been deprecated in favor of a newer version.) The code needs to be added to the application, but that is outside of the scope of this post.
Getting up to Speed on Angular
If you don't have any background in Angular, the angularjs.org tutorial is a great place to start.
Also check out Marky Roden's great series on using Angular in XPages.
Basic Select2
These examples will all create a Select2 control in Angular that will display a list of fruit and allow the user to choose one.
Here is the basic Select2:
Once a value is selected, it is shown in the field and separately below the Select2.
The basic HTML for the template is as follows:
<select ui-select2="select2Config" ng-model="fruit" data-placeholder="Select a fruit..." style="min-width:150px"> <option value=""></option> <option ng-repeat="option in options" value="{{option}}">{{option}}</option> </select>

 Selected Value: {{fruit}}
Lines 1-2 start the select tag.
- The
ui-select2attribute references the configuration object in the Angular controller that sets properties for the control.
- The
ng-modelattribute defines that the selected value will be bound to a "field" (if you will) named fruit in the model.
- The
data-placeholderattribute sets the placeholder text when no value has been selected.
- The
styleattribute sets a minimum width for the control. (This is not necessary)
Line 3 includes an empty value at the start of the list.
Line 4 uses an
ng-repeat directive to build the list of options to choose from. The
options list is set in the controller (code shown below).
Line 8 is simply displays the selected value. It is not necessary, but it shows off the two-way binding feature of Angular.
The controller used with the template on this page is as follows:
//Select2 controller - basic MyAppControllers.controller('select2Ctrl_basic', ['$scope', '$http', '$routeParams', function ($scope, $http, $routeParams) { $scope.options = ['apple', 'banana', 'grape', 'lime', 'orange']; } ]);
That's it! All I did was define the controller and define an
options property in the scope and set it to an array. The template reads the array and generates an option for each value in the array.
Text Formatting
In this example, I'll show how to change the color of each option based on the value. We'll use the same HTML template for the Select2.
Here's the controller for this example:
MyAppControllers.controller('select2Ctrl_formatted', ['$scope', '$http', '$routeParams', function ($scope, $http, $routeParams) { $scope.options = ['apple', 'banana', 'grape', 'lime', 'orange']; // Format the control to display a span with the text changed to the color of the fruit $scope.format = function (data) { var fontColor = 'black'; switch (data.id) { case 'apple': fontColor = 'DarkRed'; break; case 'banana': fontColor = 'Gold'; break; case 'grape': fontColor = 'Purple'; break; case 'lime': fontColor = 'LimeGreen'; break; case 'orange': fontColor = 'Orange'; break; } return "" + data.text + ""; }; $scope.select2Config = { formatResult: $scope.format, formatSelection: $scope.format }; }]);
In this controller, lines 6-28 create a function that is used to format the options in the list. The function accepts a
data object that is the current option in the select2. (The function will be called once for each option as the list is built.) The
data object contains a
text property that is the actual display value for that option.
Lines 9-25 define a
switch statement that sets the
fontColor variable based on the fruit.
Line 27 is the key — it returns a
span that includes a
style attribute to set the font color and display the option.
Lines 30-33 define the configuration object used for the Select2. (This is specified in the
ui-select2 attribute of the HTML template.) It tells the control to format each selection and the result using the
format() function defined in the controller.
The difference between formatSelection and formatResult
The formatSelection function formats the values in the drop-down list. The formatResult function formats the selected value, shown at the top of the list when the rest of the list is dropped-down. (The example below shows 'orange' selected.)
You can use different formatting functions, but it seems common to use the same formatting function for both.
Adding an Image
In this example, I'll show how to display an image next to each option, based on the value. We'll use the same HTML template for the Select2.
Here's the controller for this example:
MyAppControllers.controller('select2Ctrl_image', ['$scope', '$http', '$routeParams', function ($scope, $http, $routeParams) { $scope.options = ['apple', 'banana', 'grape', 'lime', 'orange']; // Format the control to display an image corresponding with the name of the fruit $scope.format = function (data) { var url = ''; switch (data.text) { case 'apple': url = 'apple.png'; break; case 'banana': url = 'banana.png'; break; case 'grape': url = 'grapes.gif'; break; case 'lime': url = 'lime.png'; break; case 'orange': url = 'orange.png'; break; } return " " + data.text; }; $scope.select2Config = { formatResult: $scope.format, formatSelection: $scope.format }; }]);
This is very similar to the last example, with the exception that it determines the url and returns an
img tag to display next to the text value. This adds a very nice touch to the UI of the control. (Note: The images referenced in this example are all icons that I added to the NSF as image resources.)
Including a Java Class in SSJS
You're most likely aware that SSJS really is really turned into Java under the covers, but did you realize that you can use Java classes in SSJS? In this post, I'll show how with a simple example.
Using a Java class in SSJS
There are examples similar to this in the DDE help when looking up how to get a document from a view:
var vec = new java.util.Vector(); vec.addElement('firstLookupKey'); vec.addElement('secondLookupKey'); var doc - myView.getDocumentByKey(vec);
And so on. Several view lookup methods take a vector as a way to look up documents or view entries with multiple keys for multiple sorted columns.
The first line specifies that it's creating a new
java.util.Vector() object. After that, you can use methods of that Java class right from SSJS.
Using Type Ahead Autocompletion for Java Class Methods
If you specify the type of the variable that you create, Domino Designer provide type ahead. Take this example:
var vec:java.util.Vector = new java.util.Vector();
Just type the variable name and a period, and (maybe after a slight pause), you'll see a list of properties and methods to choose from:
Importing a Java Class into SSJS
If you want to refer to an object more easily in SSJS, you can import the class you want to use and then reference it just by the class name, rather than by the fully-qualified name. To do this, use
Here's how this would look different when working with a Vector:
importPackage (java.util.Vector); var vec = new Vector();
And now you have code that's a little easier to follow and also has the ability to display the properties and methods of the class:
Clearly, there is far more opportunity to use this than the simple examples I've shown here, but I hope this gets the gears turning and becomes a useful feature for you.
XPages Tip: Using _dump to write information to the server console
I recently showed how to use a built-in client-side JavaScript function to dump the contents of an object for review. In this post, I'll show a somewhat similar method available in Server-Side JavaScript.
_dump() is a global method available in SSJS. You can use it to write the contents of an object out to the server console (and log).
The XPages Portable Command Guide mentions using it to dump the contents of scope variable maps.
Since the
requestScope automatically has a bunch of properties, I can see the results if I run this
Here is the output on the server console — basic URL, user, server, and page info:
HTTP JVM: com.sun.faces.context.RequestMap
HTTP JVM: {database=BlogTesting.nsf, __xspconvid=null, opensession=CN=XDev9/O=Xcellerant, userScope={}, session=CN=XDev9/O=Xcellerant, cookie={SessionID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@7190719}, component
HTTP JVM: arameters=com.ibm.xsp.application.ComponentParameters@3f953f95, context=com.ibm.xsp.designer.context.ServletXSPContext@56fc56fc,
identityScope={}, serverScope={Anonymous={}}, opendatabase=BlogTesting.nsf, com.ibm.xsp.SESSION_ID=B7117B555E750057C2668FD5A46
sessionScope is empty by default, but I can add a few properties and then look at the output:
sessionScope.property1 = 'abc'; sessionScope.property2 = 'def'; _dump(sessionScope);
HTTP JVM: com.sun.faces.context.SessionMap
HTTP JVM: {__XSP_STATE_FILE=com.ibm.xsp.application.FileStateManager$SessionState@70647064,
__notescontext_publicaccess=com.ibm.domino.xsp.module.nsf.NotesContext$AccessPrivileges@2a0b2a0b, property2=def, xsp.sessionData=com.ibm.xsp.designer.context.PersistentSessi
HTTP JVM: nData@34fb34fb, property1=abc}
Not exactly easy to read, but the information is there.
But you're not limited to scope variables. Here's an example of creating my own object and writing it out:
var myObject = {}; myObject.foo = 'xyz'; myObject.bar = 'uvw'; _dump(myObject);
HTTP JVM: Object
HTTP JVM: [object Object]
HTTP JVM: foo
HTTP JVM: string
HTTP JVM: xyz
HTTP JVM: bar
HTTP JVM: string
HTTP JVM: uvw
This seems ridiculously spread out, but it's pretty easy to see the contents of the object.
All in all, MarkLeusink's Debug Toolbar is a much nicer tool to use when working with scope variables, but if you're doing some quick debugging — or setting up a consistent method of handling errors, the
_dump() method can come in handy.
Article Published in The VIEW: Improve Application Performance with JSON-RPC
An article that I wrote on improving XPages application performance using JSON RPC has been published in The VIEW journal (subscription required).
One of the best-kept secrets of XPages is JSON-RPC control. It is the ideal solution for application developers who want:
- Their XPages applications to be more efficient and run faster
- To easily implement client-side and server-side JavaScript interaction
If you want your XPages applications to perform more efficiently, or if you've ever struggled with executing server-side JavaScript from client-side JavaScript (or taken it a step further and plotted hacktastic workarounds for passing information back and forth), then you need to get to know JSON-RPC. Compared to workarounds that involve partial refreshes, JSON-RPC is a much cleaner method of client and server code interaction and is much more efficient because there is no form submission. JSON-RPC is also asynchronous, so it's faster and appears more responsive because it doesn't block user interaction. In this article, get an introduction to JSON-RPC and learn how to reap the benefits in your XPages applications.
Client-Side JavaScript Debugging Tip — Using XSP.dumpObject() and XSP.log()
The XSP object is a client-side JavaScript object that is built and delivered by the XPages runtime and it contains a number of useful functions, some of which are always available and some of which are context-specific. In this post, I'll show two functions that are useful for client-side JavaScript debugging.
dumpObject() method returns a string representation of all properties of any object that you pass to it. If you want to track down why something isn't working as expected, it may be helpful to inspect the properties of the object.
The object can be a variable that you programmatically create and modify or it can be an element on the page.
I used to make frequent use of a small script to display all properties of a JavaScript object, but this is a much simpler way to get that information.
var myObject = {} myObject.property1 = 'One'; myObject.property2 = 'Two'; myObject.property3 = 'Three'; myObject.arrayProperty = ['a', 'b', 'c']; console.log(XSP.dumpObject(myObject));
This information can be very helpful in debugging, so I would recommend using it when handling errors in a
try-catch block.
In addition to logging to the console, you have another similar option available by another XSP function.
XSP.log() is analogous to the standard
console.log() function that you use when debugging client-side
JavaScript, but the
log() method opens up a new browser window and logs messages there, in descending order.
All we have to do is change the last line in the previous snippet:
And this is what we see in a separate browser window:
log() method will continue appending any messages that you send until you close the window. The next call to
XSP.log() will open a new, blank window and start logging again.
Using dumpObject on an HTML field and XPages control
You can also use
dumpObject on an HTML element.
For example, if I have a pure HTML select with 3 options and an
onchange event, this will be the output of if I get a handle to the element (the
id is HTMLComboBox) and dump the object properties:
object 0: [object HTMLOptionElement] (Maximum Depth Reached) 1: [object HTMLOptionElement] (Maximum Depth Reached) 2: [object HTMLOptionElement] (Maximum Depth Reached) autofocus: false disabled: false form: [object HTMLFormElement] (Maximum Depth Reached) multiple: false name: required: false size: 0 type: select-one options: [object HTMLOptionsCollection] (Maximum Depth Reached) length: 3 selectedOptions: [object HTMLCollection] (Maximum Depth Reached) selectedIndex: 0 value: v1 willValidate: true validity: [object ValidityState] (Maximum Depth Reached) validationMessage: title: lang: dir: dataset: [object DOMStringMap] (Maximum Depth Reached) itemScope: false itemType: (Maximum Depth Reached) itemId: itemRef: (Maximum Depth Reached) itemProp: (Maximum Depth Reached) properties: [object HTMLPropertiesCollection]...

If I have a similar Combo Box control in XPages, the output is the same because the HTML element that is generated is virtually identical.
Note: You must pass a fully-qualified client-side ID to
dumpObject(), so if you're passing it an XPages element, use the pass-thru EL syntax
"#{id:myControl}" or a client-side query that looks for the element id ending with the name of the control, such as
There's a method built into browser development tools that performs a similar function. This can be similarly handy when troubleshooting something directly on the page.
For example, to see all of the properties of the first input field on the form, you can use it like this:

West Ham crushed again as Manchester City show no mercy
PUBLISHED: 21:49 08 January 2014 | UPDATED: 07:45 09 January 2014
EMPICS Sport
Capital One Cup semi-final 1st leg: Manchester City 6 West Ham United 0
Woeful West Ham's Capital One Cup hopes were washed away in a Manchester monsoon, where City rendered the second leg of this semi-final in 13 days time meaningless.
Three days after their Nottingham annihilation at the City Ground, the Hammers vociferous, saturated support were left facing another comprehensive cup exit as West Ham simply gave themselves nothing to cling on to in the Upton Park return on Tuesday January 21.
Alvaro Negredo's first half double plus Yaya Toure's strike put City in control by the break and after the Spaniard completed his hat-trick with his 18th goal of the season, Edin Dzeko then completed the rout with a late double.
The Hammers had gone for a more experienced line-up as they made eight switches from the side that had been felled 5-0 by Forest, but it made absolutely no difference to the outcome.
Debutant Roger Johnson was joined in a back four by Guy Demel, Joey O'Brien and George McCartney, while Matt Taylor, Mohamed Diame, Mark Noble and Joe Cole returned to a new-look side.
City – sitting in second spot in the Premier League 17 places and 29 points above the visitors – made a quartet of changes as Vincent Kompany, Samir Nasri, Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure were recalled
And it was Negredo, who almost unwittingly opened the scoring on three minutes when Johnson's attempted clearance ricocheted off the Spaniard's knee and into the clutches of the diving Adrian, who then saw his compatriot, Javi Garcia, head David Silva's corner just inches wide.
West Ham's luck did not hold out for long, though, and with a dozen minutes on the clock, Toure lofted an inch-perfect ball from halfway and racing between McCartney and O'Brien, Negredo nonchalantly watched the ball fall out of the dark, Manchester night before sweeping a first-time volley past Adrian.
Although the Hammers forced a quartet of corners in reply and Diame sent a low 20-yarder skidding across the greasy grass and just past the base of Costel Pantilimon's right-hand post, that was to prove only token resistance against the home attack.
Midway through the half, Adrian brilliantly pawed away Silva's 20-yarder and with the danger still not cleared, the Hammers keeper then turned aside another stinging shot from Nasri.
On 25 minutes, though, Negredo plundered his second goal of the evening, when Dzeko invited him to race on to a defence-splitting pass and with McCartney and Demel all at sea, City's £20m striker lashed a low 12-yarder beyond fellow countryman Adrian.
That was the cue for shooting practice against the orange-shirted Hammers keeper as Negredo went in search of that match-ball, while Dzeko and Silva all tried to Tango the West Ham stopper.
Five minutes before the break, the club tailor found himself reaching for his tape in preparation of measuring Manuel Pelligrini's men for their Wembley suits, when more dire defending allowed City to treble their lead before the interval.
This time, Toure collected the ball on the halfway line and with Johnson backing off all the way to his own penalty area, the marauding midfielder drilled a low 15-yarder past an apoplectic Adrian.
Although Diame's late 20-yard curler was comfortably gathered by the hitherto redundant Pantilimon, the first half damage had been well and truly done.
Carlton Cole replaced Modibo Maiga for the restart but he had only been on the pitch for four minutes when Negredo became the second player – after Forest's Jamie Paterson – to bag a hat-trick against the Hammers in the space of three days.
This time Nasri collected Silva's half-cleared corner and following a probing run into the heart of the Hammers defence he slipped the ball to Dzeko, who found Silva and his threaded pass allowed Negredo to bend a clever 15-yarder beyond the outstretched right palm of Adrian, once more.
Toure and Dzeko then peppered the Hammers keeper from range, while Alou Diarra's arrival allowed Noble to leave the Etihad slaughterhouse.
On the hour, City drew yet more blood, when Gael Clichy charged down the left and crossed into the near post, where Dzeko slid home the fifth home goal of the evening.
Still City were not finished and in the dying seconds, fellow substitutes Marcos Lopes combined with Aleksandar Kolarov deep on the left by-line and when the Serbian crossed into the six yard box, Dzeko slammed his second of the night into the roof of the net.
Mirroring their February 1990 Littlewoods Cup defeat at Oldham Athletic – Lou Macari's last game in charge – the Hammers now go into a meaningless second leg
facing a six-goal deficit and, although they struck a respectable three against Joe Royle's side in reply, it is difficult to see them repeating the feat nearly a quarter of a century on.
CITY: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Toure (Demichelis 66), Garcia, Nasri, Silva (Lopes 72), Negredo (Kolaroc 79), Dzeko. Unused subs: Hart, Nastasic, Fernandinho, Milner.
HAMMERS: Adrian, Demel, O'Brien (Rat 75), Johnson, McCartney, Noble (Diarra 57), Diame, Taylor, Downing, J.Cole, Maiga (C. Cole h/t). Unused subs: Jaaskelainen, Collison, Morrison, Jarvis.

Press release
Thousands of lives to be saved in biggest roll out of abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
Implementation of a screening programme for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which will save the lives of thousands of older men was launched today
A major push forward in the implementation of a screening programme for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which will save the lives of thousands of older men, was launched today by Health Secretary Andrew Lansley.
The Health Secretary launched the largest phase of the screening programme at Leicester Royal Infirmary, one of the first sites to offer screening for AAA. This major roll out will cover 80 per cent of the country, with screening available across the whole of England by the end of March 2013. The NHS AAA screening programme, which started in 2009 for men aged 65, aims to prevent up to half of the 6,000 deaths every year.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said:
"One of the key outcomes of improvement in the NHS must be to reduce avoidable mortality. Over the last nine years, in Opposition and now in Government, I have long campaigned for AAA screening, arguing how many lives it can save. So I am very pleased to be able to today launch the third, and biggest phase of AAA screening, taking us to 80 per cent coverage of England by April 2012.
"By March 2013 screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms will be available for all men over 65 in England.
"Screening saves lives and improves the health of the nation - by spotting aneurysms early, it can be monitored, prevented from getting worse and treated if necessary, saving the lives of thousands of older men.
"Modernising the NHS will help ensure this screening programme is delivered to the highest standards - with men found to have large aneurysms being referred to high quality vascular services - resulting in real improvements in patients' health."
This is the third phase of the programme and is by far the largest. It involves 18 new local programmes being rolled out across the country - doubling the current coverage to 80 per cent of the country. Phase four will complete by March 2013 and will mean the screening programme will be available across England.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are formed when the major blood vessel to the body weakens and expands. Around 6,000 people in England and Wales, mostly men aged 65 and over, die every year from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Fab fragment antibodies are generated by papain digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove the entire Fc portion, including the hinge region. These antibodies are monovalent, containing only a single antigen binding site. The molecular weight of Fab fragments is about 50 kDa.
Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Note: after the addition of glycerol, the concentration of protein and buffer salts is one-half of the original. Alternatively, aliquot and freeze the product at -70°C or below in the absence of glycerol. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
1:100 - 1:800 for sequential labeling applications.
To complex with primary antibody in solution, use 1:1 weight ratio of Fab:primary antibody (15:1 molar ratio). Vortex and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to use. Titrate complex to optimal dilution for assay.
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated antibodies absorb light maximally around 591 nm and fluoresce with a peak around 614 nm. They are brighter, more photostable, and more hydrophilic than Texas Red conjugates. Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugates are brighter than red-fluorescing conjugates, and they provide more color separation from green-fluorescing dyes than DyLight 549, Cy3, and TRITC conjugates. They are the best choice for immunofluorescence detection in the deep-red region of the visible spectrum.
