Meratrim ~ Not so great results
I had really high hopes for this one - endorsed by the Oz himself. But I didn't really see any more results than if I just got off my duff and walked regularly. Not even a little bit. I took it religiously on time, every day. But everyone's body is different and I know some folks had great results. Sad that one of them wasn't me. But hey - it got me walking again! So YAY!! iHerb was great at getting it to me and they were $10 lower in price - so that was good. Will absolutely still buy from them. Good luck to those trying it - it might be perfect for you!

Don't upgrade if you are uncertain. Create another partition on your hard disk. Shrink the Vista partition if needed. You need to give yourself about 20 gbs, but more, if you can spare it, for your software.
Give the new partition a distinctive name, so you make no mistakes (WIN7?)
Boot up on your install disk and install 7 in the new partition. It will set up a dual boot, without disturbing your Vista installation, and you can enjoy both.

Central AC Not Working At All
AC Not Cooling Well
Air Conditioner Not Blowing Air
Air Conditioner Leaks Water
Air Conditioner Makes Noise
Is your AC not working? If your central air conditioner is not cooling right, save money, time, and get comfortable again with these expert DIY air conditioning troubleshooting and repair techniques.
Need help NOW? Get a Local Air Conditioning Pro Fast!
In brief:
If your AC is not working at all:
1. Be sure it is receiving power at the electrical panel.
2. Reset the equipment's switches and/or overloads.
3. Check the thermostat settings.
4. Check the condensate overflow switch.
If your AC is not cooling but runs:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Clean or change the filter.
3. Look to see if ice has formed on the coils and, if it has, turn on the power and the fan to melt it.
4. Clean the condensate drain.
5. Check and clean the outdoor compressor.
In depth:
Several different kinds of problems can occur with a central air-conditioning system. These are some of the most common ones that we discuss below:
• AC not working at all
• AC not cooling well but runs
• Room temperature too hot or too cold
• Air conditioner drips or leaks water
• Air conditioner makes strange noises
• Air conditioner won't turn off
Although some central air conditioner repairs must be handled by a qualified air-conditioning repair person, in this article we'll look at how you can handle simple repairs and maintenance yourself.
In addition to the information below, see these two articles for the general care and maintenance of your air conditioner: Preparing Your Air Conditioner for Summer and How to Replace Furnace & AC Filters. You should replace the filters at least twice a year, before the heating and cooling seasons.
Central AC Not Working At All
If your central air conditioner does not go on automatically when the thermostat signals the need for cooling:
1Check the main electrical panel and any secondary circuit panels for a tripped breaker or blown fuse. If you find the problem there, reset the breaker by turning it off and then on or replace the fuse. A central air conditioner should be on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
If the breaker continues to trip, there is probably a short in the system—in the compressor, capacitor, or the fan motor. You'll need an electrician to track down and solve this problem.
2Make sure the thermostat is set to COOL and its temperature setting is at least 3 degrees below the ambient room temperature.
3Make sure the power is on. Check the switch in the furnace or air handler, and the outdoor condenser. Also be sure the compressor's 240-volt disconnect, typically in a metal box mounted near the compressor, hasn't been shut off.
4Remove the thermostat's cover after turning off the power to the air conditioner. Remove the thermostat's body from the base (usually by pulling straight out) and replace the batteries (if it has batteries). Be sure all wires are properly attached to their terminals and will not be pinched by the cover. Replace the cover and wait 3 or 4 minutes, and then try the system again.
5If that doesn't do the job, open the thermostat and unscrew the wire from the Y terminal. Turn the power back on. Holding the wire by its insulation only, touch the bare end to the R terminal and hold it there for about two minutes. If the compressor kicks on, the thermostat is faulty; replace it as discussed in the article How to Install an Electronic Thermostat. If the compressor doesn't go on when you hold the Y wire to the R terminal, turn the power back off and either call an air-conditioning technician or check the capacitor.
6Check the compressor's capacitor and wires. The capacitor in the compressor starts both the condenser and the fan. If the capacitor has failed, the A/C unit will not run. It's very easy to test whether it works and it is cheap and easy to fix if it doesn't.
Before opening the electrical cover on the A/C unit, be sure to shut off all power to the unit and verify that it is off. Remove the cover and, using a digital multi meter set to "Capacitance," put one lead on the "Common" terminal and the other lead on one of the other two terminals. The meter should show a number—not "OL" which indicates a short. A/C capacitors can be like two capacitors in one, with both sharing the common leg.
Here is a video that shows more precisely how to do this. Tip: Take a quick digital photo of the wires before disconnecting them so you know where to replace them.

Still not working? Please read "Air Conditioner Not Blowing Air," below.
AC Not Cooling Well
If you can hear your central air conditioner running, but it doesn't cool well, the problem can be caused by a couple of issues. Make sure nothing is blocking or limiting air flow anywhere in the system—the air filters, registers, and the compressor. For more about filters, see How to Replace Furnace & AC Filters.
A kinked refrigerant line, or a blower fan that isn't running right can cause this, too. Next, check the air handler:
How to Check the Indoor Air Handler
1Turn off the power to the air conditioning air handler or furnace. If the air handler is a gas furnace, turn off the gas at the gas valve that serves the furnace.
2Remove the door on the front of the air-handler cabinet so you can access the filter. Pull out the filter and clean or replace it as necessary.
3Look for ice. If you see ice in the area around the coils, close the unit back up, turn the power back on, and turn on the fan. The ice should melt within an hour or two.
Only two things cause an AC air handler to freeze up: 1) reduced air flow because of dirty filters, coils, or poorly working fans, and 2) low refrigerant level, which is something that must be checked and recharged by a pro. Reduced air flow is the most likely problem.
4Clear the condensate drain. Air conditioners can create a lot of water because they remove moisture from the air. To get rid of this, they have a [usually plastic] drain pipe that comes out of the side of the air handler. Over time, algae can block this pipe and, when it does, the AC won't work—in fact some condensate drains are equipped with a float switch that won't let the AC run if water backs-up. Water is also likely to puddle around the unit or even flood the area. To deal with condensate problems, please see Air Conditioner Leaks Water, below.
How to Check the Outdoor Compressor
1Turn off the power. Before cleaning the compressor, be sure to shut off all power to the unit and verify that it is off.
2Clean the outdoor compressor. For complete instructions, please see Air Conditioner Doesn't Cool Well. This video does a good job of showing you how to clean the coils:
3Make sure the compressor is working. When you set the thermostat to a temperature below the room temperature, you should hear the outdoor compressor run and see the fan turning inside the top. If the fan isn't turning, look for an overload button or switch to reset (not all types have this). Stick a screwdriver or stick down through the top grille and try to spin the fan blades clockwise. They should spin freely. If doing this gives the fan enough of a boost to get it going, the unit has a faulty capacitor that must be replaced. See Step 6 under Central AC Not Working At All, above.
4 Have the coolant checked. If none of these steps worked, the chances are pretty good that the coolant needs to be recharged by an air conditioning professional. Call a qualified local AC professional—this is not something you can do yourself.
If your room has dramatic swings in temperature before the system kicks on, see Room Temperature Too Hot, Then Too Cold.
Air Conditioner Not Blowing Air
If your AC doesn't go on at all when you set the thermostat for a cooler-than-room temperature, please read Central AC Not Working At All, above. Then, if you have fairly good DIY skills and a multimeter, go through the diagnostic steps in this video to determine whether the problem may be a condensate pump switch.
If your air handler isn't blowing air properly, the indoor evaporator coil may be dirty or frozen up. Reduced air flow, whether caused by dirty filters, a dirty coil, dirty squirrel cage blower, or a broken fan motor will cause the coil to freeze up, blocking air flow.
If your air handler's motor runs but the blower doesn't move air, the belt that connects the two probably has broken. Replacing it is an easy fix if you have a few tools and do-it-yourself skills.
Here's how to replace the air conditioner's blower belt:
1Turn off all power to the unit and, if the air handler is a gas furnace, turn off the gas at the gas valve that serves the furnace.
2Remove the door on the front of the air-handler cabinet to give you access to the blower (it might be on a slide-out drawer.) Check the number stamped on the belt and get an exact replacement from a home center or heating supply outlet.
3You can usually slip the belt on the motor's (smaller) pulley first and then start it on the blower pulley, as shown at right. Rotate the blower pulley by hand, holding the belt in place but keeping your fingers from getting caught between the belt and the pulley. The belt should slip right into place. If it seems to be too tight or difficult to set in place, it may be necessary to adjust the motor mount to provide more slack. Then you can re-tighten the tension once the belt is in place. Check the manufacturer's specifications for proper tension—in most cases, the belt should deflect about an inch when you press down on it.
4Lubricate the blower. Finally, some blower motors need oiling; some have sealed bearings. If recommended by your maintenance manual, oil the bearings according to the manufacturer's directions.
If the blower motor hums but doesn't run, you'll probably need to replace the blower motor. This video shows how to replace the motor.
If the air handler doesn't run at all, it may not be receiving power. Check its circuit breaker, and any switch that controls it at the air handler or furnace cabinet. Then check the door switch—a small switch inside the metal door that prevents the appliance from running when the cabinet is open. Also check the thermostat. For more, see Central AC Not Working At All, above.
Air Conditioner Leaks Water
Air conditioners and high-efficiency combustion furnaces create significant condensation—we're talking about a lot of water, especially in humid climates—several gallons per day. This water exits the air handler through plastic pipe or a drain tube. That drain tube goes directly outside, often terminating near the compressor, or to a floor drain or to a small electric "condensate pump" located by the air handler. Where a condensate pump is used, it connects to a 1/2-inch vinyl or rubber tube that exits outdoors or to a drain.
If water is dripping or pooling at the base of the air handler, it may be leaking from one of the plastic pipes or tubes that carry it, something may be blocking the water's flow, or the condensate pump may not be working. If the pump stops working, it will overflow.
On some air handlers, the condensation drainpipe has a small safety float switch (see photo) connected to it. If the drainpipe backs up with water, the float switch will shut off the air conditioner. This is a sure sign that it's time to clear the condensation drainpipe.
1 If your system includes an electric condensate pump, make sure it is connected to a working electrical outlet. Then look to see if the tubing that carries away the water has come loose from the pump. If it has, reconnect it.
More likely is the possibility that the tube or the pump is clogged with algae. If this is the case, use a wet-dry vacuum to suck all of the water out of the tube. In some cases, it might be easier to replace it with new 1/2-inch tubing purchased online, at an HVAC supply shop, or at a well-stocked home improvement center.
2 Test the pump by pouring water into its collector. The pump, which is turned on by a ball float inside that rises with the water level, should start. If it doesn't, it is stuck or broken. If it's stuck, you should be able to disconnect it from the power and from the inbound tubes, disassemble the top, and clean it out thoroughly. If it's quite old or broken, you're probably better off replacing the condensate pump so you don't have to do this again in the near future.
To kill algae, pour a dilute solution of bleach (1 part bleach to 16 parts water) into the pump's trough and pump it out through the tube. Don't do this on you lawn—it will kill the grass.
3 If the pump runs but doesn't empty the trough, the ball-like check valve just before the discharge tube is probably stuck. Unscrew the check valve, loosen the ball inside, and look for an obstruction and a build-up of algae. If it appears that a condensation drain tube is clogged with algae, remove it if possible (you may have to cut it and replace it later with a coupling). Blow it out or run a wire through it to clear it—or, better still, replace it with new tubing.
4 Ice may be blocking the tube. If this is the case, clean or change your AC filters. If the filters appear to be fine, the air conditioner's refrigerant supply is probably low. Call an air-conditioning technician to have the unit recharged.
For more about filters, see How to Replace Furnace & AC Filters.
Air Conditioner Makes Noise
Noises sometime occur in the indoor air handler, the outdoor compressor, or the ductwork.
Air Handler Makes Noise
Problem noises in an air handler are squealing, grinding, and buzzing.
AC air handler squealing or grinding noises. Though most air handlers have direct-drive motors, some older units may be belt-driven. Squealing sounds from a belt-drive air handler generally occur when the belt that connects the motor to the blower slips. In most cases, the belt is improperly aligned or worn and needs replacement. Follow the instructions above under Air Conditioner Doesn't Blow Air and refer to your owner's manual.
If a direct-drive blower is squealing or making a grinding noise, shut off the unit and—unless you're an accomplished do-it-yourselfer—call an HVAC professional—the motor's bearings are probably shot. If you can handle this type of work, you can order and replace the motor.
AC air handler buzzing sounds. Do you hear a buzzing sound when you turn on the thermostat? The only thing that comes on in the house when you turn on the thermostat is the fan relay and fan in the air handler or furnace. Try switching the thermostat HEAT/COOL switch to OFF. Then switch the fan switch from AUTO to ON. The fan (only) should come on. If the air handler makes a buzzing sound, it probably has a bad fan relay or, more likely, blower fan.
Outdoor AC Compressor Makes Noise
Outdoor compressors sometimes make buzzing, humming, or grinding noises.
AC compressor buzzes. If the outdoor AC unit makes a buzzing sound, as though it wants to turn on but can't, the run capacitor may be defective. If that capacitor goes bad, the motor will overheat when it tries to turn on but can't get started. When the motor overheats, a thermal overload switch will shut it off.
When it buzzes, quickly poke through the grille with a long screwdriver or stick to try to spin the fan clockwise (be careful!). If it starts spinning, it will run for one cycle but then stop working again. This indicates that the capacitor is bad and needs to be replaced. (See Central AC Not Working At All, above.)
AC compressor hums. If the outdoor compressor hums when you switch the thermostat to COOL, the problem could be the low voltage transformer on that unit—something that would need to be checked by a pro.
AC compressor grinding noise. Over time, the bearings in the motor can wear out. The result is a grinding sound and, in many cases, the motor will overheat and shut off. When this happens, it's time to replace the motor.
Noisy Ductwork
Many heating/cooling ducts are metal so they conduct noise quite readily from the air-handling unit to your rooms. To break the conduction of sound, you can have a heating contractor insert flexible insulation ductwork between the heating/cooling system and the metal ductwork.
Ductwork pinging or popping. If you hear a pinging or popping sound coming from metal ductwork, this may be caused by thermal expansion or by air blowing past a loose flap of metal. Track along the duct runs, listening for the sound. If you find it, make a small dent in the sheet metal to provide a more rigid surface that's less likely to move as it heats and cools.
Furnace or air handler rattling ductwork. If the furnace makes rattling noises when it runs, be sure the cover panels are screwed on tight. If they aren't, tighten them.
Air Conditioner Won't Turn Off
If your AC doesn't turn off when room temperature reaches the temperature set on the thermostat, the problem is generally occurring either at the thermostat or in the electrical system that runs the outside condensing unit. You can use the AC's circuit breaker to shut off the unit, but that should not be a permanent solution—circuit breakers are not designed to be used like light switches.
If the thermostat is blank—not displaying any values—or if the AC shuts off when you switch the thermostat to HEAT, the thermostat is probably broken and needs to be replaced. Please see Home Thermostats Buying Guide.
If the thermostat works fine with the furnace, the issue probably isn't the thermostat unless one of the wires has disconnected or arced. When the AC is running, try removing the yellow low-voltage wire from the thermostat. Then:
If the unit turns off, either the thermostat is broken or it is wired improperly. Make sure it is wired correctly—with no cross-connected wires. If the wiring appears to be okay, buy a new thermostat and install it according to the instructions.
If the AC doesn't turn off, it's likely that the contacts on the outdoor run relay have welded together—something that can happen over time because of frequent electrical arcing at the relay. Before checking the run relay, turn off the power to the furnace and the condensing unit. Disassemble the relay and pry apart the contacts. This should do the trick until you buy a replacement—which you should do soon.

United States District Court, Third Circuit
May 17, 2013
SHAUN ROSARIO, Plaintiff,v.WASHINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Official capacity; MONONGAHELA VALLEY HOSPITAL, official capacity; HENRY HOLETS, JR., MD; official Capacity; OSCAR URREA, MD.; official Capacity; NURSE CAROL MAY, Individual capacity; NURSE STACY HOFFMAN, individual capacity; UNKNOWN MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE MONONGAHELA VALLEY HOSPITAL, individual capacity; SECURITY OFFICER ROBERT ASHBAUGH, individual capacity; SECURITY OFFICER WILLIAM SWICK, individual capacity, Defendants.
JOY FLOWERS CONTI, District Judge.
The above-captioned prisoner civil rights complaint (the "Complaint") filed by plaintiff Shaun Rosario ("Plaintiff") was received by the Clerk of Court on December 10, 2012, and was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge for pretrial proceedings in accordance with the Magistrate Judges Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and Rule 72 of the Local Rules Of Court, regarding Magistrate Judges.
The magistrate judge in the Report and Recommendation (the "Report"), ECF No. 10, filed on March 6, 2013, recommended that Plaintiff's federal claims in the Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim pursuant to the screening provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"), 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii); 28 U.S.C. § 1915A; 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(e). Service was made on Plaintiff at his address of record. On March 20, 2013, Plaintiff filed his objections. ECF No. 11.
When objections are filed to a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge, the district court makes a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Raddatz , 447 U.S. 667, 674-75 (1980). The court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the magistrate judge's findings or recommendations. Id . Although the standard of review is de novo, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) permits whatever reliance the district court, in the exercise of sound discretion, chooses to place on a magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendations. Raddatz , 447 U.S. at 674-75; see Mathews v. Weber , 423 U.S. 261, 275 (1976); Goney v. Clark , 749 F.2d 5, 7 (3d Cir. 1984).
At the outset, Plaintiff's assertion in his objections - that the correct standard for determining whether a complaint fails to state a claim is the standard that a court may not "dismiss a complaint for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claims which would entitle him to relief" - must be rejected. ECF No. 11 at 2. That standard is clearly incorrect. See Broyles v. Texas, 381 F.Appx. 370, 373 (5th Cir. 2010) (" Twombly abrogated the no set of facts' standard first articulated in Conley v. Gibson "); Fritz v. Charter Tp. of Comstock , 592 F.3d 718, 725 (6th Cir. 2010) (" see Twombly, 550 U.S. at 561-63, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (abrogating the no set of facts' minimal standard often cited from Conley by requiring more than a mere possibility of such a set of facts')").
The magistrate judge in the Report noted that, while Plaintiff baldly alleged that the defendants acted under color of state law, he alleged no facts to support that conclusion. ECF No. 10 at 8, 9. In the Report Plaintiff was instructed that he could allege, in his objections, any additional facts that he may possess in order to show that the defendants acted under color of state law. ECF No. 10 at 9 n.1.
Plaintiff did not take the opportunity to allege such facts; rather, the main response of Plaintiff to the finding in the Report that there was no action under color of state law alleged in the Complaint was:
The Plaintiff was under the impression that by being detained by hospital personnel for the specific purpose of turning him over to law enforcement authorities, that he was subjected to an unlawful seizure and unlawful search under the Fourth Amendment. Therefore, plaintiff believed the defendants (Hospitals and its employees) would fall under the states actors' doctrine, which would allow the suit to precede [sic] under 42 U.S.C. 1983 when he wrote the complaint.
ECF No. 11 at 5.
The only allegation in the foregoing quote that comes close to an allegation of fact is that unspecified "hospital personnel" detained Plaintiff for the specific purpose of turning him over to law enforcement authorities. While Plaintiff did not specify to which of the two hospital defendants he was referring, this court will assume he meant to refer to both of the hospital defendants.
A. Lack of Allegations Concerning The Mon Valley Hospital Defendants Acting Under Color of Law.
There are several problems with Plaintiff's argument with respect to the Mon Valley Hospital Defendants as defined in the Report, ECF No. 10 at 2 ( i.e., Mon Valley Hospital, Dr. Henry Holets Jr., Dr. Oscar Urrea, [1] Nurse Carol May, Nurse Stacy Hoffman, Security Officer Robert Ashbaugh, Security Officer William Swick and the Medical Director at Mon Valley Hospital). First, the only Mon Valley Hospital Defendants who plausibly could be said to have detained Plaintiff at any point in the Complaint's narrative are the two security guards, defendants Robert Ashbaugh and William Swick (collectively, the "two Security Guard Defendants"), who subdued Plaintiff after Plaintiff attacked Nurse Carol May and Nurse Hoffman (collectively, the "two Nurse Defendants") and after Plaintiff threatened the Nurse Defendants and the Security Guard Defendants. Hence, the Complaint must be dismissed as against all the Mon Valley Hospital Defendants other than the two Security Guard Defendants in light of the assertions in the Complaint that refer only to the two Security Guard Defendants having "detained" Plaintiff for the sole purpose of turning him over to the police.
Even as to the two Security Guard Defendants, Plaintiff's allegation that they detained him for the sole purpose of turning him over to police would not be sufficient to show plausibility that they acted under color of state law. At most, the two Security Guard Defendants made a "citizen's arrest" of Plaintiff for assaulting the two Nurse Defendants as well as the two Security Guard Defendants. A "citizen's arrest" is simply insufficient to transform their acts into actions taken under color of state law. See, e.g., Bass v. Parkwood Hosp. , 180 F.3d 234, 243 (5th Cir. 1999) ("As in the case of a citizen's arrest or a warehouseman's sale, the statutory authorization of private acts does not transform such conduct into state action: The statutes authorizing or constraining these private activities may or may not be constitutional [citation]; the activities themselves remain private [citations].'"); Spencer v. Lee , 864 F.2d 1376, 1379 (7th Cir. 1989) (en banc) ("the analogy that Spencer seeks to draw to arrest is inapt, since a citizen's arrest is not subject to challenge under section 1983" because there is no action under color of state law); Carey v. Continental Airlines, Inc. , 823 F.2d 1402, 1404 (10th Cir. 1987) ("If Gilbert himself made a citizen's arrest' of Carey, as Carey asserts, this does not make Gilbert a state actor. Gilbert's complaining about Carey's presence to a Tulsa police officer who, acting within the scope of his statutory duties, arrested Carey after questioning him, does not, without more, constitute state action for which Gilbert can be held responsible.") (internal citations omitted).
In the alternative, even if it could be said that the two Security Guard Defendants did act under color of state law, their detention of Plaintiff after he assaulted the two Nurse Defendants was fully supported by probable cause, see, e.g., ECF No. 1-2 at 11 to 12 (affidavit of probable cause), and so, Plaintiff's Fourth Amendment rights (which he invokes for the first time in his objections) were not violated as a matter of law given the facts alleged in the Complaint and the objections.
Having concluded there is no Fourth Amendment violation implicated in the Complaint, there can be no claim for a procedural due process violation of the Fourteenth Amendment (i.e., deprivation of liberty, which Plaintiff also mentions for the first time in his objections) based upon the same facts as the Fourth Amendment claim. "[T]he Fourth Amendment was tailored explicitly for the criminal justice system, and its balance between individual and public interests always has been thought to define the process that is due' for seizures of person or property in criminal cases, including the detention of suspects pending trial."[2] Gerstein v. Pugh , 420 U.S. 103, 125 n.27 (1975).
B. Lack of Allegations Concerning The Washington Memorial Hospital Acting Under Color of Law.
Plaintiff was brought to the Washington Memorial Hospital after he was arrested by the police at the Mon Valley Hospital and Plaintiff attacked the constable causing a roll-over accident. He was brought to the Washington Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment or evaluation after the roll-over accident. While Plaintiff was an arrestee at the time he was brought to the Washington Memorial Hospital, that fact does not transform the Washington Memorial Hospital or any of its agents into entities who acted under color of state law in treating Plaintiff and nothing that Plaintiff alleges in the Complaint or the objections merits a contrary conclusion. See, e.g., Wilson v. Agustino, No. 3:12-cv-1554 (D. Conn. Jan. 28, 2013) ("physician in emergency room at hospital who performed medical treatment on arrestee not considered to be state actor under any of the tests for state action") ( citing Vazquez v. Marciano , 169 F.Supp.2d 248, 253-54 (S.D.N.Y.2001)); Dixon v. Baptist South Medical Hosp., No. 2:07-CV-662, 2010 WL 431186, at *7 (M.D.Ala., Feb. 1, 2010) ("The vast majority of federal courts agree that treatment by a non-contract private physician, nurse or hospital upon referral or on an emergency basis does not satisfy the requirements for state action.").
Plaintiff's conclusion that he was being "detained by hospital personnel for the specific purpose of turning him over to law enforcement authorities" is not dispositive given that Plaintiff was already "detained" by the police and the Washington Memorial Hospital was not holding him for the specific purpose of turning him over to law enforcement authorities; rather, it was evaluating and treating him after the roll-over crash.
C. Mere Receipt of Government Funds Does Not Cause Recipients To Act Under Color of Law
Plaintiff attempts to save his Complaint by alleging that because the two hospital defendants allegedly receive federal monies, all the Defendants must act under color of state law. ECF No. 11 at 8. This is a non sequitur. The most that Plaintiff's argument could establish is that the two defendant hospitals allegedly receive federal monies - not state monies. In any event, mere receipt of government funding, whether federal or state, does not transform the actions taken by the recipient into actions taken under color of state or federal law. Schneller ex rel. Schneller v. Crozer Chester Medical Center, 387 F.Appx. 289, 293 (3d Cir. 2010) ("In his brief on appeal, Schneller concedes that there are no state actors of any clearly defined sort in this action, ' but continues to press his argument that the private hospital appellees are state actors because they receive public monies and tax benefits, they are subject to state and federal regulation, and their actions are so entwined with governmental policies... as to become state action within the Civil Rights Act.'.... This argument has been considered and repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court in similar cases."). Accordingly, Plaintiff's assertion regarding the receipt of government funds by the two hospital defendants does not cause the Defendants' acts to constitute acts under color of law.
II. Plaintiff's Complaint Alleges Only Negligence.
In the report, the magistrate judge recommended dismissal of the § 1983 claims on an alternative basis as well. Even if Plaintiff could meet the under color of state law requirement, the magistrate judge concluded the most that he alleged regarding his alleged lack of medical care was gross negligence on the part of the Defendants and negligent conduct is insufficient to state a claim under the Constitution. ECF No. 10 at 9 to 10. Plaintiff's objections are confusing in his attack on this aspect of the Report. Plaintiff claims that what he describes in his Complaint is not "mere negligence or gross negligence as alleged in Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly's report and recommendation. The report and recommendation at issue tends to set forth allegations wholly outside of the plaintiff's complaint...." ECF No. 11 at 5-6. Plaintiff's contention that the Report "sets forth allegations wholly outside of the plaintiff's complaint, " id., is not accurate. The Report quotes liberally from the Complaint wherein Plaintiff asserts that Defendants' acts were "extremely negligent" or a "gross deviation from the required standard of care" or engaged in "malpractice." ECF No. 10 at 9. The Report accurately notes that the Complaint and its attachments, even read in the light most favorable to Plaintiff, fail to allege or establish anything more than negligence and Plaintiff points to nothing in the Complaint or its attachments and does not make any additional allegations in the objections that would merit a contrary finding.[3]
III. Plaintiff's Claims Under the ADA, Rehabilitation Act and EMTALA.
The Report contains the recommendation that Plaintiff's Complaint failed to state a claim under the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act because the Complaint merely alleged denial of treatment to Plaintiff, an individual with a disability. It was correctly noted in the Report that such denial of treatment claims under the ADA and Rehabilitation Act simply do not state a claim upon which relief can be granted. ECF No. 10 at 11 to 13 (citing Bryant v. Madigan , 84 F.3d 246, 248 (7th Cir. 1996) (ADA); Iseley v. Beard , 200 F.Appx. 137, 142 (3d Cir. 2006) (ADA); Fitzgerald v. Corr. Corp. of Am. , 403 F.3d 1134, 1144 (10th Cir. 2005) (Rehabilitation Act)).
In his objections, Plaintiff attempts to distinguish only one of the decisions cited in the Report, namely Bryant v. Madigan , 84 F.3d 246, 248 (7th Cir. 1996). Plaintiff claims that in Bryant, the plaintiff only complained that he was not given special accommodation whereas Plaintiff here is alleging discrimination. ECF No. 1-1 at 9. Plaintiff, however, is simply wrong concerning the allegations made by the plaintiff in Bryant. The plaintiff in Bryant did allege denial of medical care which he contended constituted a violation of the ADA. See Bryant , 84 F.3d at 247-48 (the court stated in Bryant that the plaintiff therein "also complains that after the operation to fix his leg he was denied pain medication. He claims that the defendants' conduct violated both the Eighth Amendment and the Americans With Disabilities Act"). The contention was rejected by the court in Bryant. Plaintiff, like the plaintiff Bryant, alleged denial of medical treatment. Plaintiff specifically alleged the denial of being involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment as being the failure by the Defendants which violated the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act. ECF No. 1-1 at 28, §§ 103-04; id. at 29, §§ 106-07. Where the so-called "discrimination" was nothing other than the alleged denial of medical treatment in the form of an involuntary commitment, there is no meaningful distinction between Bryant v. Madigan , or Isely and this case. Moore v. Prison Health Servs., Inc. , 201 F.3d 448 (Table), 1999 WL 1079848, at *1 (10th Cir. 1999) ("These statutes [i.e., the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act] afford disabled persons legal rights regarding access to programs and activities enjoyed by all, not a general federal cause of action for challenging the medical treatment of their underlying disabilities."); Nails v. Laplante , 596 F.Supp.2d 475, at 481-82 (D.Conn. 2009) (dismissing inmate's ADA claim, which focused on inadequate medical care, because the complaint "d[id] not include any non-conclusory allegations of discriminatory animus or ill will based on his disability and identifie[d] no program he could not participate in or any service that was denied as a result of his disability"); Carrion v. Wilkerson , 309 F. Supp2d 1007, 1016 (N.D.Oh. 2004) (Plaintiff "failed to allege that the defendants denied him the benefits of any services, programs, or activities provided for other non-disabled inmates, or that [the defendants] subjected him to discrimination because of his diabetes. Instead, he claims he was denied a diabetic diet... [but this] is not the type of claim that the ADA... [was] intended to cover.") (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted)).
Plaintiff seeks to add a claim under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act ("EMTALA"), 42 U.S.C.A. § 1395dd, et seq. Plaintiff's putative claims under the EMTALA, however, suffer the same deficiencies as his claims under the ADA and Rehabilitation Act. The EMTALA does not provide a cause of action for medical malpractice (which is what, at most, Plaintiff alleges in his Complaint and objections). As the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit aptly noted in Reynolds v. Maine General Health , 218 F.3d 78, 83 (1st Cir. 2000):
As numerous courts have noted, including this one, "EMTALA is a limited anti-dumping' statute, not a federal malpractice statute." Bryan v. Rectors and Visitors of the Univ. of Va., 95 F.3d 349, 351 (4th Cir. 1996) (citation omitted); see Correa, supra, 69 F.3d at 1192; Summers v. Baptist Med. Ctr. Arkadelphia, 91 F.3d 1132, 1137 (8th Cir. 1996) ("So far as we can tell, every court that has considered EMTALA has disclaimed any notion that it creates a general federal cause of action for medical malpractice in emergency rooms."); Urban v. King, 43 F.3d 523, 525 (10th Cir. 1994). Congress enacted EMTALA in 1996, in the face of "the increasing number of reports that hospital emergency rooms are refusing to accept or treat patients with emergency conditions if the patient does not have medical insurance." H.R.Rep. No. 241(I), 99th Cong., 1st Sess. 27 (1986), reprinted in 1986 U.S.C.C.A.N. 42, 605. EMTALA created a remedy for patients in certain contexts in which a claim under state medical malpractice law was not available. Although the exact scope of the rights guaranteed to patients by EMTALA is still not fully defined, it is clear that at a minimum Congress manifested an intent that all patients be treated fairly when they arrive in the emergency department of a participating hospital and that all patients who need some treatment will get a first response at minimum and will not simply be turned away. See Baber v. Hospital Corp. of America, 977 F.2d 872, 880 (4th Cir. 1992) ("The avowed purpose of EMTALA was not to guarantee that all patients are properly diagnosed, or even to ensure that they receive adequate care, but instead to provide an adequate first response to a medical crisis' for all patients and send a clear signal to the hospital community... that all Americans, regardless of wealth or status, should know that a hospital will provide what services it can when they are truly in physical distress.'") ( quoting 131 Cong. Rec. S13904 (Oct. 23, 1985) (statement of Sen. Durenberger)). Appellants' argument that because Mr. Reynolds was in a hospital room receiving treatment for his injuries when the risk of DVT became manifest, it would be unreasonable to deny him the protections of subsection (a) is unpersuasive. The fact that Mr. Reynolds was in the hospital receiving treatment is a prima facie showing that the purpose of subsection (a) was satisfied; any failures of diagnosis or treatment were then remediable under state medical malpractice law.
What the court in Reynolds stated applies equally here. As correctly noted by Plaintiff, only the two hospital defendants can be held liable under the EMTALA. ECF No. 11 at 10. Given that Plaintiff was admitted to the emergency rooms of both hospitals for treatment, and not turned away, a prima facie case under the EMTALA cannot be plausibly shown. Plaintiff alleges nothing and, apparently, could allege nothing to undo this lack of a prima facie case under the EMTALA. Accordingly, this late raised claim under the EMTALA does not save Plaintiff's Complaint from being dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
IV. The Court Declines To Exercise Supplemental Jurisdiction Over State Law Claims.
With respect to Plaintiff's state law claims, given that this court adopts the Report's recommendation to dismiss all the federal law claims, there is no affirmative reason to adjudicate Plaintiff's state law claims and they are dismissed without prejudice.
No other objection merits discussion or rejection of the Report.
After de novo review of the pleadings and the documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation, the following order is entered:
AND NOW, this 17th day of May, 2013,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all the federal law claims in the Complaint are dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to the screening provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. The court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. Any further attempt to amend the Complaint would be futile.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 10, filed on March 6, 2013, by Magistrate Judge Kelly, is adopted as the opinion of the court, as supplemented by this Memorandum Opinion and Order.
The Clerk is to mark the case closed.
Lastly, the court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith for reasons that are obvious from this Memorandum Opinion and Order and the Report and Recommendation.

The battle for our attention between our ministry and our family is a brutal reality for the Lord's servants. The Scriptures inform ministers to rightly divide the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15), to study their life and teachings (I Timothy 4:16), and to be an example to others (I Timothy 4:12). The public ministry of preaching, teaching, and counseling (among other activities) must flow from a life well lived for God in the private times of the minister's life. However, the family of the minister is not to be neglected, but rather embraced. Providing physical support alone is not sufficient; we must also enable them emotionally and spiritually if the family is to be spiritually nurtured. Any isolation of the wife or children will cause them to become hard-hearted toward the minister as well as the Gospel. Bickering, numbness, solitude, and bitterness will fester inevitably.
Only from the depth of our ministry at home can we expect to develop spiritual maturity in others. Charles H. Spurgeon spoke persuasively on the home in one of his famous lectures to his students. He adamantly believed that the effectiveness of their ministry to others swung on the hinges of the spiritual health of their home. He advised:
"We ought to be such husbands that every husband in the parish may safely be such as we are. Is it so? We ought to be the best of fathers. Alas! Some ministers, to my knowledge, are far from this, for as to their families, they have kept the vineyards of others, but their own vineyards they have not kept. Their children are neglected, and do not grow up as a godly seed. Is it so with yours?"
The critical component for maintaining ministry – both public and private – is gaining balance.
Imbalance results in catastrophic consequences. A sorrowful example is found in
David's life. Without a doubt, David was a great king. Sadly, he was also a poor father. One of his most glaring failures was with his son, Absalom. Among the many things that David did wrong, one of the primary catalysts to the downfall of his family was due to David's distraction regarding his assignments (II Samuel 13:1-3). His desire to show honor to Jonathan, David's greatly beloved friend, resulted in the heartfelt and gracious treatment of Mephibosheth, the only remaining son of Jonathan. David was affectionate with Mephibosheth, but not with his own children. He prioritized his ministry over his family and, as a result, division was created within his home. David failed to realize that despite his success in the kingdom the misdeeds within his home would wound him deeply and enduringly. From David we must learn that the family must become a serious priority.
It's time to level the scales. In order to overcome the pitfalls of imbalance, we must turn to the Scriptures for guidance. First, ministers must address the needs of their spouse (Ephesians 5:22-23). A wonderful opportunity exists within marriage to learn about the precious person with whom we are sharing love, life, and ministry! Those families who have been blessed with children can know a special joy as well. Though many couples try to simply endure their children's years of development, their time in our homes is critical to their development of their Christian identity and worldview (Ephesians 6:1-11). By joining with the Lord to build our homes, we will have a family that is established on the Rock, but many marriages are ravished by Satan and selfishness and end up "dashed upon the rocks" (Ephesians 6:12-20).
Your home is the platform for all other ministries. All ministry matters, but we prefer to think that our public ministry is separate from our home. This is simply false. The ministry of the home is a mirror of ministry in the church. It is foolish to expect our families to simply accept the fact that we must spend time with others when we neglect to spend time with them. A burden for the welfare of souls begins with our homes and then radiates to other families. the minister must ensure that both are set on a course to pursue holiness (I Timothy 3:2).
Through the power of the Spirit, the family can be a unified home under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ and serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13-18). By solidifying his family's pursuit of holiness, the minister will be liberated to invest liberally in the spiritual well-being of other families. Through the eternal and indwelling Spirit we can experience victory in each area of our ministries despite being pull in this dynamic tug-of-war of ministry!

Personalities fascinate me. We all have one and each comes with its own special strengths and weaknesses. Often, the differences between personalities can be the basis of conflict or of harmony. My personality may annoy someone and other personalities may aggravate me. However, our God never ceases to work with each individual to mold their unique personality to fit His purpose. There seems to be three particular ways in how this conforming and transforming is manifested and three men from the Scripture from whom we can learn these principles.
1. Softens the Edges – Simon Peter
My baby girl reminds me of Peter; constantly trying to shove both her feet in her mouth! In the Gospels, Peter is consistently getting in his own way and opposing himself. Yet God got a hold of his heart and he later became one of the greatest disciples and witnesses for Jesus Christ. Eventually, he was even used by God to pen the books of First and Second Peter, throughout which his compassion and love for the Lord is clearly seen.
Peter is a reminder that no matter how rough my personality may be, or that of someone else around me, God can work and use that personality for His glory. Are we willing to allow him to soften those edges that need it?
2. Strengthens the Spirit – John Mark
John Mark would be the opposite of Peter. This is the guy who, from what we read in Scripture, doesn't seem to be able to handle the difficult life of service to work with the Apostle Paul. However, through the working of the Holy Spirit and the patience of a man of God, John Mark eventually is built up to the place that Paul says, "…Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry." God strengthened His spirit, and emboldened his will.
May we submit to God for the same. Too often I find my boldness for Christ lacking and my spirit is weak. My hope and prayer then is that, as in John Mark, God might mold and strengthen me to be "profitable…for the ministry."
3. Sustains the Power – Moses
In Deuteronomy 34:7, the Bible records the death of Moses with some unique observations. The Scripture says: "…nor his natural force abated." His natural power, boldness, and strength of personality did not fade away as he aged. This is in opposition to the natural flow of life. As we age, our natural force weakens and deteriorates. This is evident throughout our world. This did not occur in the life of Moses. He was as powerful of a man in speech and presence at 120 years old as at 40. How was this possible? God sustained Moses' personality for His purpose.
The lesson is this: Those aspects of ourselves which we have "put off" do not ever again need to be put back on. God can sustain those good fixes. If we will be continually surrendered to Him. As we fulfill God's purpose, He sustains who we are to accomplish His task.
More and more, I marvel that an almighty God would reach down and continue to work and mold me into His image. Even with all the personality traits that irritate, the prominent faults in temperament, and the battle against the flesh in day to day living, God can and will continue to conform me, and His willing children, to the image of Jesus Christ.

The arctic is filled with unique sounds. Snowmobiles, outboard motors, crunching snow, ice popping under the stress of weight, and the sound of silence. Most of these sounds a person can get used to and even appreciate as an identifier of the far north. However, one sound that I will never get accustomed to is the sound of a handful of dirt thrown onto a coffin laying six feet deep in a grave.
Funerals of the Inuit, First Nations and Metis are not the sterile, orchestrated events that have become the standard for non-native people.
The typical northern funeral is held in the building with the largest seating capacity in the community. Usually this is the school gymnasium. 200 people is not unusual for even the smallest of hamlets and villages.
The coffin might be a beautiful hand made work of art constructed of wood by a local craftsman and the fabric lining the coffin is hand sewn and installed by women of the community which might include several family members.
The body is dressed by the family and may or may not be embalmed.
The coffin is transported sometimes by pickup truck. The pall bearers sit around the truck bed steadying the coffin and a slow progression is made to the cemetery.
Traditionally the grave is dug by the family. In permafrost they have to build fires to melt the permanently frozen soil and then shovel out the muck. The fire has to be rebuilt and the process repeated until a depth of six foot met.
The pall bearers carry the coffin to the grave where planks are laid across the grave and the coffin is places to rest on the planks.
Ropes are then threaded under the coffin and through the handles and slowly the coffin is lowered by hand after the planks are removed.
Once the crowd regathers at the grave side, the preacher stands at the head of the open grave. A prayer is given, some words of comfort are spoken and then it happens.
An un-unwritten code of the north requires that the preacher must repeat the old phrase, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
The preacher then takes a handful of dirt and drops it on the coffin. The sound is haunting.
Dirt hitting a wooden casket is an awful sound. It sounds even worse in the frigid northern winter. It is a sound marking the end of life.
Family members then make their way to the casket and throw a handful of dirt into the grave and every time dirt hits the wooden coffin, chills run down your spine. The family usually begins to sob, cry, then eventually a wail erupts adding to the awfulness of the scene.
The men of the community then grab shovels and manually, shovelful by shovelful, fill in the grave. Sometimes the crowd sings gospel hymns. Sometimes the only sound is that of dirt hitting the casket until it is covered.
In defence of this stark and old fashioned way, I must say it does offer closure. There is no vagueness of purpose. When a grieving family member walks away from the graveside, it is over. Final. A hard event, but a completed one.
I've stood at the head of the grave while saved and lost were buried. As the saved are buried, I have confidence this is not the end. The dead in Christ shall rise. This horrible sound is not the end. I will hear them speak, see them walk, and worship the Lord with them.
But as the lost are buried, I know this is not the end either. The awful sound of frozen clumps of dirt hitting the casket is not the last horrible sound heard that will be associated with them. The future holds a great white throne judgment for lost men and women. The sentence will be exacted and lost souls will be cast into the lake of fire.
That, has to be the worst sight and sound ever.
Sterile and practised funerals offer a facade of peace and comfort. But the grave is only a temporary holding place for the bodies of the saved and the lost. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and conversely the first second after death a lost man's soul wakes up in hell. Reunion with the body is either to the incorruption of salvation in Christ or the corruption of the lake of fire as Christ rejecters.
The greatest sight and sound is that of a sinner kneeling and asking God for mercy. On the mission field there are no buffers to reality. Life and death are real and raw. Our Gospel must be real, un-changed and at full strength to give hope to the hopeless around the world.

Act 22:27-28 "Then the chief captain came, and said unto him Tell me, are thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, with a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born."
In our passage, the chief captain was about to scourge Paul, but it was unlawful for a Roman citizen to be scourged. The chief captain asked if he was a Roman citizen and Paul says yes. At this point in history, Roman citizenship could be purchased and the chief priest said that he obtained his Roman citizenship by paying a great price. Paul said I obtained my citizenship freely. However, someone had purchased and paid a high price for Paul's freedom as well. The price of freedom is not cheap and it has never been an easy purchase.
There was a great price paid to purchase the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today. Of course one of the greatest statements of all time given by Patrick Henry, "Give me Liberty or give me death", was a statement of conviction. The conviction that obtaining freedom and liberty is worth the highest cost a person can pay. The signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776 drafted by Thomas Jefferson was the document that declared the freedoms we enjoy today. We enjoy the freedom to choose how we live and who or what we serve. We also enjoy the Liberty to pursue a life of happiness and purpose.
Everyone that was born in the United States of America was free born to the freedom and liberty that embodies our nation. Many times we don't think about the price it cost to live in the Land of the Free. The cost continues to increase with each generation. American Soldiers are paying the high price for the freedom and liberties that everyone in America is enjoying today. I am continually amazed by the effort, work and service that the American Soldier gives each day. As a volunteer and without the desire to be known or rewarded our Soldiers go to bed worn out, and energetically get up the next morning to do their part in defending our freedoms. They have become part of the history of men and women who have honorably served and sacrificed for our Nations freedoms. There is not a greater group of Individuals to have been entrusted to defend the Liberty and Freedom that was declared back in 1776. Just as important and as high a price are the costs that the families pay that are faithfully serving at home. The sacrifice on the home front doesn't go unnoticed.
Let us also remember the freedom that comes from knowing Christ. As an Army Chaplain, I have been called by God and have the total freedom to share the Gospel message. This message of freedom that comes through Christ was purchased at a greater price. Therefore, Paul said in Galatians 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." We can't even fathom giving up the freedom and liberty we enjoy in America. However, we continually give up the freedoms and liberties we enjoy In Christ. There is liberty and freedom to love, serve and support God and each other. We don't have to be in bondage to depression, bitterness or anger. Come to Christ and stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ can make you free…
Grace From Above!

Published: December 5, 2013 - 10:29 PM | Updated: December 6, 2013 - 06:08 AM
The Oakland Raiders finally might be getting one of the anchors of their defense back.
Strong safety Tyvon Branch returned to practice this week for the first time since breaking his right leg Sept. 15 against Jacksonville.
Branch is still limited at practice but hopes to be able to play Sunday against the New York Jets. Branch was one of only two returning starters on Oakland's overhauled defense but only played one game before getting hurt in the first quarter against the Jaguars in Week 2.
While Brandian Ross is still slated to start this week, Branch could get some time, which would provide a big boost for the Raiders (4-8), who have lost four of their last five games.
Kerley back with Jets
New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley fully participated in practice for the first time since dislocating his left elbow last month and is expected to play Sunday against the Raiders.
Kerley was injured against New Orleans on Nov. 3 when he was on the ground and the Saints' David Hawthorne slammed into his elbow. Coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that Kerley "looked outstanding" in practice. Kerley leads the Jets with 28 catches, despite missing four games.
Fellow receiver Santonio Holmes (hamstring) and tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. (knee) were both limited, but Ryan expects them to play. The Jets haven't had all three on the field together since Week 4.
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie (hip) and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (wrist) also were limited, but will play.
Reed not ready to retire
New York Jets safety Ed Reed hopes to play another two years in the NFL, and doesn't worry about critics who say he isn't playing up to his usual high standards.
Reed, signed by the Jets last month after he was released by the Houston Texans, has started his first three games with New York. While he hasn't made any game-turning plays, both coach Rex Ryan and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman say his impact behind the scenes with the team's young defensive backs has been immeasurable.
Reed says he is being judged on the field for a standard that he created himself during a dominant 11 years in Baltimore. He adds that he believes he's still "effective" despite being only a few months removed from a second hip surgery.
Dennard stays out of jail
A Lincoln, Neb., judge handed New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard another year of probation and 30 additional days in jail Thursday as a result of a drinking-and-driving incident in Nebraska last summer.
Dennard last April was sentenced to two years of probation and 30 days in jail for assaulting a police officer outside a Lincoln bar in 2012. He admitted he violated his probation three months later when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Lancaster County District Court Judge Stephanie Stacy extended his probation from two to three years and his jail term from 30 to 60 days. He is to report to the county jail March 1. She also barred him from consuming or possessing alcohol and increased his mandatory community service from 200 to 300 hours, with half of the additional 100 hours to be performed in Nebraska. Stacy could have revoked Dennard's probation and sent him to jail.
Jaguars 27, Texans 20
Chad Henne threw touchdown passes to Mercedes Lewis and Cecil Shorts III to spark Jacksonville to an early 14-0 lead and the host Jaguars held on to beat the Houston Texans.
The Jaguars (4-9) led 24-10 midway through the third quarter. The Texans (2-11) pulled within 24-20 on Garrett Graham's touchdown and Randy Bullock's 31-yard field goal with 11:34 to play, but the Jaguars held on for their second win in five days.

The Monster Project
With decreasing emphasis on creative arts in schools, The Monster Project is a collaborative project between elementary school kids and skilled artists from around the world, where kids draw monsters from their own imagination, and the professional artists take their own spin on it. The goal, according to the projects founders, is "to help children recognize the power of their own imaginations and to encourage them to pursue their creative potential."
The Monster of Colors Doesn't Have a Mouth
"One day I dreamed that my parents, my brothers and I went to visit three islands and I jumped into the water without protection," she wrote in her diary. "I felt like I could be in the water and not drown. I was curious and I swam into the deep water and then I saw my skeleton with my name written on it." Roger Omar collects children's dreams, and asks artists to illustrate them. [more inside]
