DSGP, Colorado Rapids and U.S. Soccer Staff and Volunteers Play Integral Role in USA Completing 1-0 Victory Against Costa Rica in World Cup Qualifying
In every soccer match played round the world, the 12th man is always the home-field crowd that pushes a team to victory. And that was especially true on Friday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park as 19,374 fans braved blizzard conditions to help the U.S. Men's National Team to a crucial 1-0 win against Costa Rica in the first home match of the Final Round of World Cup Qualifying.
But in this match, the 12th man was not just in the stands. If not for the tremendous work of nearly 40 staff members and volunteers of the Colorado Rapids and Dick's Sporting Goods Park, as well as U.S. Soccer staff shoveling snow off the pitch, who knows if the game would have been played – or at least finished.
The snow started sticking to the grass about an hour before kickoff. By the time the team's came out to warm up, the field already was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Dick's Sporting Goods Park turf department chief Bret Baird and his team brought out two utility vehicles with plows to begin clearing the field.
"We'd been preparing for it all week," Baird said. "So we had our plows down there ready to go, our shovels ready, snow blowers staged and ready, and I even put a plow on my truck and had that ready to go, as a last resort. We didn't know if we would have to use any of this, but we had it ready just in case."
The crew also had mixed orange paint in case they needed to re-paint the lines, as they had done ahead of the Rapids' home opener. What they weren't sure about was the manpower given how fast the snow was accumulating.
"I knew that I would have enough bodies to get the minimum amount done, because I had PFS (Premier Facility Services) ready to help," Baird said. "And then we had so much staff volunteering."
Baird relied on senior stadium staff of Charlie Chicko and Brian Theobald and security manager Gabe Montanez to spread the volunteers – which included personnel from stadium operations, security, marketing, team operations, engineers and maintenance – and 60 shovels around the field.
Danny Gonzalez was supposed to be stationed with the engineers behind the goals, being attentive to potential field board or net issues. But when he saw the crew struggling with the amount of snow, he picked up a shovel and got to work, not realizing the impact he and the rest of the staff would have on the match.
"I was out there just trying to do our job," Gonzalez said. "And then we could hear the stadium cheering for us, yelling 'shovel, boys,' when the ball went to the other side. On my side, U.S. fans were handing us gloves and hand-warmers from the stands to help us out."
Another volunteer was Chris Schafer, part of the Rapids' grassroots street team that came to the stadium in kakis and whose main duties were to survey fans entering the match. After kickoff they sat in the stands for a bit, but then found themselves with shovels in hand on the field 10 minutes before halftime.
"We really wanted to do whatever we could to help them get three points," Schafer said. "I wasn't as much as a grounds crew guy but more of a Rapids and U.S. fan that wanted to help our country."
Ten minutes into the second half, the referee stopped play briefly to consider whether the match should continue, but U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann appealed – as did the players.
"I would have done anything possible not to stop it," Klinsmann told the media afterward. "That's why I went a little bit on the field, as well, and with my bad Spanish told the referee: 'We are not stopping that game! If you clean up the lines we can play.'"
The match began again but the snow did not surrender.
Schafer and the crew were taking instructions from both the DSG Park turf department and members of the U.S. Soccer Federation, not knowing immediately what role they were playing in the big picture.
"At one point I was told to clear Jurgen Klinsmann's technical area," Schafer said. "And then we were asked to go down to the attacking end because we wanted an advantage down there. That's when it hit us that we were helping the U.S. team by clearing the snow and keeping the game going."
With the U.S. holding the one-goal lead, Gonzalez found the tables turned. During one stoppage of play he began shoveling across the midfield line, but the snow pile was too big to push all the way across. That's when U.S. defender Geoff Cameron assisted Gonzalez by pushing him from behind to help get the snow to the sideline.
"I was halfway across and I was already tired from shoveling all game," Gonzalez said. "I was thinking 'how am I going to do this?' The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and I even made the line kind of crooked.
"But then I felt someone behind me and I just thought, I gotta keep going, I gotta keep going. I was trying to look back to see who was giving me a hand but I couldn't see because I had my hoody on, so I couldn't tell who it was until we got to the sideline. Then I just turned around said 'thank you.'"
Cameron and the U.S. players recognized the crew's tiresome efforts, so Cameron did not hesitate to lend a small push for Gonzalez.
"One guy first came onto the pitch and was shoveling, and the ref told him to get off the field," Cameron said. "The other one just jumped on and got halfway across, and at that point there was a good amount of snow on the shovel. The ref was trying to get things going, and you could tell the guy was struggling to get some traction, so I just put my hand on his back and helped him get across the field as fast as possible. Those guys were fantastic all game. It wouldn't have continued without them."
While many around the world saw the work of the Dick's Sporting Goods Park turf department for the first time on Friday, the national Sports Turf Managers Association had recognized Baird and his crew as winner of the 2012 Professional Soccer Field of the Year award.
"We'd have done the same thing whether it was the Rapids, or China versus Spain, or any other teams," Baird said. "If there's a game and there is snow, that's our job and we're going to get it done and we're going to do it well. But the fact that it was the U.S. Soccer team makes it even that much sweeter and was that much more motivation to get it done when we were out there."
Gonzalez said he received calls from friends and family on Saturday telling him how the fans, media and even the U.S. players were acknowledging the great work of the grounds crew.
"I appreciate that they realized we were out there working hard for them," he said. "To me, it just feels good that they came out with a win. And it feels good that I was there helping our country and supporting U.S. Soccer."

Worth noting that Speed, Flight, and Teleport are all Noticeable by default (creating a particular whizzing sound, lighting, whatever), so you probably can't use Stealth with them unless you apply Subtle (although if you do have Subtle, they quickly make hash of the "half speed while Stealthing" rule).
True, but a time-traveling teleportation can be used stealthily simply by reappearing where no-one is, if no one is in the room to see a bright flash, it doesn't matter if you make it or not.

Piping plover nesting season off to a good start with three nests
LEWES (May 10, 2013) – Unseasonably cool weather aside, the piping plover nesting season has gotten off to a noteworthy start with three nests spotted yesterday on the Point at Cape Henlopen State Park. A pair of piping plovers also has been seen at Gordon's Pond, but they don't appear to have set up a territory there yet.
As many as nine piping plovers have been sighted at one time out on the tidal flats on the bay side of the Point, and it is expected that more pairs and their nests will reveal themselves in the near future.
In other beachnester bird news, two American oystercatcher nests were found on the Point last week. Unfortunately, both nests were too close to the high tide line and have either succumbed to flooding or were taken by predators.
To date there has been no sign of beachnester bird activity at Delaware Seashore State Park.
For more information on beachnesting birds and monitoring efforts, please contact Wildlife Biologist Matthew Bailey at 302-382-4151 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Coach of the Year: In an utterly uncompetitive conference, Jim Tressel emerges as the only choice to pick up this award.
Most Likely To Strike Heisman Pose: the Heisman is a popularity contest based on media love, and the man who's been the recipient of a disproportionate amount of hype is James Laurinaitis of Ohio State. The Heisman people don't like to get away from quarterbacks and running backs, but this guy could break into the group of finalists with a flashy performance against USC and continued success throughout the season.
Last Year's Illini Will Be This Year's ???? (most improved): I really don't see one. Maybe Michigan State with a couple of breaks. Maybe Purdue if Curtis Painter grows a brain. But I see Ohio State, big gap, Wisconsin/Penn State, big gap, lots of other teams, big gap, Minnesota/Northwestern.
Upset game of the year (include non-conference): Probably not an upset right off the bat considering all the kinks that will need to be worked out but I could certainly see Utah over Michigan.
Name You'll Know In December That No One Knows In June: I have to stay within my own team for this one. It'll be presumptive Badger starting quarterback Allan Evridge. With competent receivers, a huge target in Travis Beckum, a stable of running backs to keep the heat off of him, and the weakest crop of Big Ten quarterbacks in memory, Evridge has a shot to make an impression right away. While he appears to be another in the unbroken line of caretaker quarterbacks in Madison, this guy is game tested -- he was the starter at Kansas State a few years back, and he competed for the starting job last year right up till the very end (though Tyler Donovan wound up winning out.)
Most Likely To John McLaren (aka lose it in postgame rant): If Rich Rodriguez beats him with all the wrong personnel, look for Mark Dantonio of Michigan State to melt down after the game. Yes, it seemed like the Spartans hired him solely as a contrast to the wackiness of John L. Smith, but listen to his comments here and tell me there's not a whole volcano of crazy bubbling up under the surface:
Highest NFL Draft Pick in 2009: Travis Beckum. This question came pre-filled in with Chris Wells (thanks for the help LTP!) and I can't disagree that he -- along with like ten other Buckeyes -- would be a great pickup, but let's face it: great tight ends are tough to find, and Beckum could be one for the ages. He runs, he catches, he blocks, and most of all he does this:
The Must See Game of the Year that is not Ohio State - Michigan: Woe be unto he who thinks that UM/OSU is a must-see this year; Tressel is going to welcome Rich Rodriguez to the Big Ten with an unprecedented pummeling. If Tressel didn't have more class in his fingernail than Woody Hayes had in his whole body, this would 1968 all over again. The talent gap isn't huge but the change in philosophy in Ann Arbor is. Beating the Buckeyes without a quarterback? I don't think so.
Anyway, the answer to that question is certainly Ohio State-USC, a game that will take place in California on Saturday, September 13. Hats off to both teams for saying "to hell with it, let's end someone's season in week three" and scheduling this amazing out of conference matchup. Ohio State has done a remarkable job of scheduling these marquee games over the past few seasons and is to be held in high esteem for doing so. USC and OSU will do battle on the field, but the real competition will happen in the clubs after the game when they use booster money to out-"make it rain" one another. (Prediction: Carroll wins!)

Good job you two!! I hate hours of operation .. the Cha's should be behind the other teams at least an hour and a half from the time they leave the Taipa Macau pitstop. I guess thats why they were seen with Phil at the Ferry?
Well I'm just getting back to this. Not trying to play the devils advocate but I didn't think that the D/O shot at the War in the Pacific Park would be right at the pitstop. They wouldn't be picking up a clue that would say run to the pitstop which was just a few feet away ---- would they??I know that the road in the background would fit but am I missing something else here?
C/M are seen at detour at 8:08 - 8 18 AM. There are other shots of them however that look like it is later on in the day, which means they can't have gone to the pit stop AFTER the detour:
But, I was able to determine that the C-17s are parked in a certain part of the airbase and they always are pointed northeast or northwest.The shadow goes from left to right (image is not inverted thanks to Mirna's watch on her left arm).Given the parking arrangements of the C-17s, the only way that can happen is in the morning.

Understanding Undetectable Viral Load (Video)
November 6, 2013
Suppressing the virus to "undetectable" levels has long played a key role in maintaining the health of people with HIV -- and recent research shows it can also dramatically cut HIV transmission risk, with implications for individuals, couples, and populations.
Find out how and get the facts in this video.
Florie Charles, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, San Francisco, launched Youreka Science with the goal of making science more accessible to the public. Florie has recently been joined by Alex Olson in her endeavor to explain novel scientific findings and global health issues to improve health and raise awareness of the importance of biomedical research.

Why use a video card to dig virtual currency? You'll understand after reading it
In recent months, including a variety of virtual currency bitcoin, bitcoin is popular, especially the more so, the price even more than 10000 yuan, the price can be said to take a similar rocket. The result is that the AMD cards are miners robbed, 400 line and 500 line cards on the market are basically disappeared.
So what is the virtual currency? Why use the graphics card, especially the AMD graphics card to calculate? IT's home here to do a small popular science, so that we will see later bitcoin and other virtual currency news will no longer be confused.
What is bitcoin (virtual currency)?
To answer these questions, we first need to know what bitcoin is The concept of bitcoin (BitCoin) was originally proposed by Zhong Cong in 2009. According to the idea of China, we design and publish open source software and build P2P network on it. Bitcoin is a digital currency in the form of P2P. Peer to peer transmission means a centralized payment system.
From the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a complex algorithm. A special solution is a set of solutions that can be obtained by an infinite set of equations (in fact, a finite number of bitcoins). And every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique.
Why use graphics mining?
Compared to the complex operations of CPU, the GPU used by graphics cards is general-purpose computing. It can be stacked hundreds of processors, each stream processor is like small CPU, although its ability to run complex applications far from CPU to awesome, but JiaBuZhu stream processor, so the actual performance especially the single precision floating point performance is much better than CPU.
– chart graphics, the stream processor is dense
Including digging bitcoin within the action we can think is the use of graphics in constantly general calculation, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive, stream processor is suitable for the use of graphics algorithm. It's like solving equations, video cards are 2000 middle school students, and CPU is 8 math doctor. Although Dr math's knowledge of mathematics is far superior to that of middle school students, the speed of the medium equations, such as the solution of virtual money, is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students in 8.
"Bitcoin mining machine
So people started using video cards to mine virtual currencies. Later, someone developed a specific algorithm, so that the graphics processor's virtual currency for the special solution to substantially strengthen, and this is the origin of the mine.
Why was AMD's video card being snapped up by miners?
Compared with Nvidia graphics cards, AMD graphics cards have a wide range of advantages in general performance, or, in general terms, more streaming processors. Ordinary consumers generally use graphics cards, mainly to play games, while playing games require graphics cards for graphics output, and its computing complexity is far more than the mathematical calculation of bitcoin. As a result, the actual game performance is about the same as the N card and the A card.
But we said before, because the A card processor, so to get virtual currency calculation so that in terms of very suitable, get the solution specific than N card number, so many miners now a large number of A cards for panic buying virtual currency operations to seek profits.
Of course, with the introduction of Pascal Nvidia graphics card, N card in the virtual currency on the current ability is not as before, and A card is a huge difference. Thus, in the current A card is generally out of stock, the middle end of the N card has become the miners retreated for second choice.
What's the disadvantage of mine card?
Finally, why can't you choose the mine card when you use the second-hand card?. The miners mining bitcoin is the most important thing is to seek profits. As a result, their graphics cards are running and computing at all times, far more powerful than their everyday game applications. Or to run such a computing day, equivalent to the average person running video cards for one month.
Mining and virtual currency are the basic premises of the multi card gathering place, tens of thousands of cards operation constantly in a room, the heat is quite large, but the miners is not like ordinary consumers as select chassis good cooling conditions that the heat can be released, 7*24 hours of operation like this the card is still under the condition of high temperature, also deepen the degree of aging.
So the doings is the result of loss to dig card prematurely, if buy these cards, the result is unstable, restart things will continue to happen.
And the current manufacturers for mine cards are also strict requirements, such as prohibited the sale of second-hand and shorten the shelf life, if the user purchased the mine card card, after the repair will be a challenge.
I hope that through such a small article to make you understand why today's AMD card so tight, and later to see the news when you can understand.

Police Maverick/Tips and Tricks
While not available under normal circumstances, the Police Maverick is obtainable in Grand Theft Auto IV. First pick up a sniper rifle, and go way to the Happiness Island. Climb the base of the tower until you get to the highest point (where you can obtain the T-shirt). Use a regular weapon to kill the guards nearby (to get the wanted level) as well as the few that come running from below. Since the island has no access roads, no reinforcements can be sent (other than the helicopter.) Next, wait for the helicopter to arrive. The next part is somewhat more difficult. Use the sniper rifle to kill one of the policemen in the rear (the officers shooting at you.) The helicopter will now turn around to give the other cop a clear shot. Shoot this one in the shoulder, causing him to drop the assault rifle. This officer will now use his regular firearm (which doesn't have the range or accuracy to hit you.) Finally, shoot the pilot through the windsreen. This will cause the helicopter to land intact. The player may find it easier to walk to a different area, so the helicopter will land in a flat area, as to not damage it.
- The helicopter is still 'hot', meaning you can never escape the police circle by flying around as it follows you everywhere. Park the helicopter at a safehouse (Playboy X's Penthouse is recommended as there is roof access) or start a mission to lose the wanted level. Also, the LCPD will not send a new helicopter until yours has disappeared.
- Amusing sidenote: Vehicles will actively ram your helicopter if it's parked near a safehouse.
|This page needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Grand Theft Wiki.
- There is another, although MUCH more annoying to accomplish, method to get the Police Maverick, provided by Crazyraider312 (note from Crazyraider312: though I have not tried the method above, it seems alot easier to accomplish than my method (and also seems to take less time), and also does not appear to involve cheats. So go with that first, and if you can't get that and don't mind cheats and alot of time spent to get it (you must first take out the chopper at a low height, then escape the pursuit via either phone call to a friend/Francis or via a cheat, then pushing the disabled chopper into a parking place), then go with my method below). Here is the explanation:
The Police Maverick is indeed flyable. It is an annoying process, and is often failed because of Rockstar's attempts to keep you from flying it. What is involved is using another chopper to take off the main rotor blade at a very low height, so that everyone inside survives. If anyone dies (because of the fall), then that officer will not get out, and you'll be unable to get the Police chopper. Once it is on the ground, land your chopper nearby, and if all went well, and the police officers lived, then kill them, get out of the pursuit, but NOT by running away, as the crashed chopper will disappear. Once you are out of the pursuit, push the chopper into a safehouse parking spot, save, and then (re)load the save file, in order to repair the chopper (you may need to load another save file and then load the one with the chopper). You now will have a new, flyable Police Maverick. There is no radio, no computer, and the searchlight is not available, as usual. It is still essentially a regular Maverick with a special paint job. (This is best done at the eastern Algonquin safehouse (not Playboy X's), where there is plenty of space to bring it down safely.) Second note: I found it incredibly useful to use cheats, and that was how I did it, however, I suppose it can be done without. -Crazyraider312
- There is yet another way to accomplish this. Go to the Libertonian Museum in Middle Park, and climb the ladders/scaffolding in the back. Once on the roof, go to the front facing the street, and get a three-star wanted level. Then, wait for a LCPD Maverick to arrive. When it does, run North along the roof to make it hover low above the roof, then snipe the pilot. It should land intact. If it does not, wait for a new helicopter, or blow it up if it does not explode. If all goes well and it lands, kill the remaining officers, steal the helicopter, and fly to a safehouse that is easy to land the helicopter at. When you get there, the helicopter will fly up and out when you get out. Quickly push it back into the stall with a vehicle, since the LCPD will still be chasing you. Simply loose your wanted level, and travel back to find a new LCPD Maverick waiting for you. It should now operate just like a normal helicopter. This does not require cheats, but they would help if you wanted to use them.

Sterling Brown was born in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 1901. He was educated at Dunbar High School and received a bachelor's degree from Williams College. He studied the work of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, but was more interested in the works of Amy Lowell, Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. In 1923, he earned a master's degree from Harvard University and was employed as a teacher at the Virginia Seminary and College in Lynchburg until 1926. Three years later, Brown began teaching at Howard University and in 1932 his first book, Southern Road, was published.
His poetry was influenced by jazz, the blues, work songs and spirituals and, like Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, and other black poets of the period, his writing expresses his concerns about race in America. Southern Road was well received by critics and Brown became part of the artistic tradition of the Harlem Renaissance, but with the arrival of the Depression, Brown could not find a publisher for his second book of verse. He turned to writing essays and focused on his career as a teacher at Howard, where he taught until his retirement in 1969. He finally published his second book of poetry, The Last Ride of Wild Bill, in 1975. Brown is known for his frank, unsentimental portraits of black people and their experiences, and the incorporation of African American folklore and contemporary idiom into his verse. He died in 1989 in Takoma Park, Maryland.

Gab Cody and Conservatory Theatre Company members during rehearsal. Check out more photos below.
M.F.A. in Acting Alumna Gab Cody ('11), a playwright and actress, returned to Point Park's campus during the fall 2013 semester to devise The Alchemists' Lab, in collaboration with the Conservatory Theatre Company. The play is a comedy about the trade of alchemy and the consequences associated with it.
"I wanted to create something with the students, they are so talented," said Cody, who worked with the group to craft the play using the original characters in Ben Johnson's comedy, The Alchemist.
Alesia Knott, a senior musical theatre major, described the opportunity to create the script with fellow students as a collective effort.
"We did a series of workshops in which we improvised for several hours and created characters, scenarios and a cast. As the script was given and rehearsals began, Gab allowed us to improvise many lines and devise unwritten scenes," she said.
The show was filled with bogus medicines and wacky characters, and audience members remarked that the tone was "absurd" and "insane."
Though the director is normally in control of a show, Cody said she allowed the cast the freedom to humor the audience as they felt necessary.
"They continued to surprise and astonish me each night," she said.
"We all played a part in making this show a success," added Meleana Felton, a junior musical theatre major.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection
(NYCDEP or Department) proposes to construct a water siphon that would replace
the two existing, subaqueous water siphons located beneath Upper New York Bay
between Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and Stapleton and Tompkinsville, Staten Island.
New York City currently maintains two existing siphons, which provide secondary/back up water supply for City Tunnel No. 2, the main water supply for Staten Island, across the Anchorage Channel within the Upper New York Bay from Brooklyn. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)/Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), as part of their New York and New Jersey Harbor Deepening Project, will dredge the this channel to a depth of approximately 54 feet below mean low water (MLW). The existing siphons are situated at a depth that could be compromised by the dredging in the channel.
The proposed 72-inch siphon would replace the two existing siphons in order to provide the necessary backup water supply from Brooklyn to Staten Island. The proposed siphon would provide 5 million gallons per day (mgd) of daily water supply to Staten Island under normal conditions. In emergency situations, the new siphon could supply on average 50 mgd, with a peak flow of 150 mgd, thus ensuring a redundant and reliable supply of water to Staten Island.
The proposed project would involve the construction of shafts on both the Brooklyn and Staten Island sides of the harbor, water transmission mains and other related infrastructure improvements to provide for connection to the existing water supply systems already in place and a chlorine station adjacent to the Staten Island shaft.

Every indication has been that if a franchise-tagged player gets a deal done before tomorrow's deadline, Denver left tackle Ryan Clady would be the most likely.
That's based on a combination of need and the Broncos offering more cash.
According to John Clayton of ESPN, the Broncos tacked on $500,000 per year on average to sweeten their previous offer, pushing the total value to $52.5 million. They also offered to guarantee more than half that amount.
If he doesn't sign the long-term deal, he could sign his franchise tender and be guaranteed $9.828 million for this season.
Of course, the Broncos have more reasons to get this done than the primary motivation of protecting Peyton Manning's neck.
Monday's also when team executives are meeting with owner Pat Bowlen to discuss possible punishments for the DUI arrests of personnel men Matt Russell and Tom Heckert.
Making a big-ticket signing such as Clady would provide a "hey, look over there," distraction when they have to do some less pleasant business.

|With the Olympics approaching, we take a look at the science of drug testing. Donald Berry, a statistician at the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas in Houston, argues this week in the journal Nature that the procedures often used to judge whether an athlete has been doping are flawed. Berry looks specifically at the case of cyclist Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the title for the 2006 Tour de France after he was found guilty of taking synthetic testosterone. Berry says that the doping evidence against Landis is not necessarily compelling. In this segment, we'll hear what might be done to make drug testing more scientific.

WASHINGTON -- In mid August, the American Beverage Association (ABA) announced that the association's Board of Directors had approved a new school vending policy aimed at providing lower- calorie and/or nutritious beverages and limiting the availability of soft drinks in schools.
Under the new policy, the beverage industry will provide elementary schools with only water and 100 percent juice. Middle schools will only be allowed to have nutritious and/or lower calorie beverages, such as water, 100 percent juice, sports drinks, no-calorie soft drinks, and low-calorie juice drinks. No full-calorie soft drinks or full-calorie juice drinks with five percent or less juice will be available in middle schools until after school; and high schools will have a variety of beverage choices, such as bottled water, 100 percent juice, sports drinks, and juice drinks. However, no more than 50 percent of the vending selections will be soft drinks in high schools.
"As Lt. Governor and Chair of the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund, I've worked hard to ensure that North Carolina children have healthy options in school vending," said North Carolina Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue. "The beverage industry should be commended for listening to parents, lawmakers and school officials across the country. This initiative makes meaningful changes to the beverages sold through vending machines in schools and should be welcome news for anyone who cares about children's health."
The American Beverage Association is asking beverage producers and school districts to implement the new policy as soon as possible. Where school beverage contracts already exist, the policy would be implemented when the contract expires or earlier if both parties agree. The success of the policy is dependent on voluntary implementation of it by individual beverage companies and by school officials. The policy will not supercede federal, state and local regulations already in place. ABA's Board of Directors, which unanimously approved the policy, represents 20 companies that comprise approximately 85 percent of school vending beverage sales by bottlers, according to the ABA.
"Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the U.S., and the responsibility for finding common-sense solutions is shared by everyone, including our industry. We intend to be part of the solution by increasing the availability of lower-calorie and/or nutritious beverages in schools," said Susan K. Neely, ABA president and chief executive officer. The beverage industry provides a wide variety of beverage products to schools, including bottled water, juice, juice drinks, teas, sports drinks, dairy-based beverages and full- and no-calorie soft drinks. The industry will continue to develop innovative new beverage choices, including additional low- and no-calorie products.
"Healthy and active kids can certainly enjoy soft drinks and juice drinks, but we understand that parents want more control over what their younger children consume in school and we want to support them with this policy," Neely said.
The ABA plans to run print and broadcast advertising to educate the public about the new policy.
The beverage industry also supports numerous physical activity initiatives across the country to encourage people to be more active. Beverage companies provide millions of dollars of support to the YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs and sponsor youth sports teams and leagues throughout the country.
The American Beverage Association is the trade association representing the broad spectrum of companies that manufacture and distribute non-alcoholic beverages in the United States.
