In the article "Calif. bill would cap fees for college students", it talks about the rise of fees and banning malt beverages. California passed a bill in which they decline to state funding to its students. Increase of percentage in budget fees rise where 30% dropped in colleges. California banned beverages due to the boost of alcohol levels. Banning to the beverage because of how the blood level boost that strains their nervous system and heart. The bill banned most of the things that has to cooperate with caffine beverages such as farmers not being able to apply pesticides in their fields. The bill targets to its consumers.
ReplyDeleteFrom one of my research to the banning of caffine malt beverages and energy drinks was found in this site http://healthinmotion.wordpress.com/category/drinks-unhealthy/, where it talks of reasons to not drinking the beverages. In this site, it talks about the high level of chemicals of BPA found in caffine load energy drinks. the drink contains chemical bisphanol A that imitates the female hormone estrogen where they came to ban in baby bottles. Where on average one person consumes more than 22 gallons per year. the average of soft drinks contain levels of half a billion resulting in 500 times more estrogen in people than normal. Even some animals were tested with finding harmful effects.
After reading the article, “Calif. Bill would cap fees for college students”, I realized that the declining economy is affecting everybody. The slightest issues are being addressed. The rise for fees for college students in the CSU and UC systems have raised to 61% for UC and 68% at CSU. The issue is the funding for the CSU and UC systems. As of now the governor proposed the guarantee that at least ten percent of general spending would go toward UC and CSU. The other issue being presented involves the ban of caffeinated drinks in schools because according to studies it triggers and can cause strain on the heart and nervous system. I think that the article was pretty straightforward and I didn’t find it had to understand, but I learned that there are issues like drinking, use of weapons that are in the talks and basically one bill, one decision can change a lot of things in everybody’s life and no one really knows for sure what the outcome will be. As for the ban of caffeinated drinks, I didn’t agree with it, but after some research, I think my opinion has changed.
ReplyDeleteI read an article called, “FDA: Caffeine and Alcohol Don't Mix”, and it discussed the health concerns that the FDA also known as the “Food and Drug Administration” has for the safety and health of young college students and teens. In case you guys don’t know about the FDA, The FDA is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments, ad its responsible for protecting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety. In the article it says that the FDA now feels that the use of malt drinks in schools is potentially “harmful” for health. It can make students feel drowsy, and basically the whole article revolves around the dangers that FDA officials *think*will prove harmful. For example, driving while drunk, alcohol poisoning, injuring oneself or another person, and being taken advantage of sexually or the other way around. Well, I now think that alcoholic and malt beverages are not good for health, it triggers obesity and money is spent when those drinks are brought into schools and then students pay to buy those drinks. I personally took the decision to eat healthier and the presence of drinks at school is tempting, but what people eat and or drink should be their own choice. I think the ban would be a good idea but for others it wouldn’t be.

After reading the article "California Bill Would Cap Fees for College Students" the realization of the effect and read of the declining economy was larger than I thought. The reaches of the downfall effects the students, faculty and even families of universities throughout California, which would have otherwise been thought uneffected because they are a school system. Realization hits in when one sees that the funding for the UC and CSU system is from, not only private supporters, but also the government based upon a set budget. Since the decline in the economy and decreased funding into educational budgets a tough situation has been created for students when it comes to having increased payments for tuition as well as raised book and supply fees. Moving to the ban on caffeinated drinks on campus, I completely disagree. Although my opinion remains as such I do know that caffeine can wire people up which can cause an anxiety filled learning environment.
ReplyDeleteAccording to many online articles far between, (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080724150438.htm http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/on-parenting/2009/11/13/safety-of-caffeinated-alcohol-drinks-is-under-federal-spotlight.html), though they are not directly related to the proposed ban on caffeinated drinks on college campuses, they explain the definite harm that can come with consuming these kinds of drinks. One article suggests that many of the energy drinks are becoming laced with different forms of alcohol as well as causing some risking behavior within college students. Now, under circumstances where the student is over the age of 21 and expresses moderation when it comes to consumption this would not be a huge problem, but this is hardly the case. When there are 16-year-olds that are consuming these drinks and are making wild claims to their parents that they wish to do multiple outrageous feets at one time.
The bans on energy drinks on college campuses is well-founded, and my mind has completely changed on the matter. Looking back at Lemah's article (sneaky, sneaky) I read that there are also added hormones that could become present within these drinks. BAD! Although I still like my Venoms and other SoBe energy drinks, I will definitely be rationing what I drink.
As I was reading the article on Calif' bill fees I stared thinking if college was going to be a problem because of money issues. The economy is not only affecting the ones that have jobs, but also the ones that are attending to school. I think that students and their families are not going to be too thrilled to know that the state is not helping them economically. These issues are affecting the whole population in California.
ReplyDeleteOn schools banning some beverages, it is because it can cause health problems to people, especially for young people.As I was looking at some websites,(bandddesings.com/energy/arch/cat_energy_drink_news.php) almost all of them said the same thing, about caffeinated drinks harming ones health. They think that if someone drinks too much caffeinated drinks, they will get some kind of issues with their health.Schools are trying to keep their students in best conditions, and that is one way they will do it.
California is trying to pass a bill that will make the enrollment fee higher for colleges. The student fee will be set for students in the year 2011-2012. The UCs, States, and junior colleges will be affected. Each year, the fee will increase 5% for only new enroled students. The while purpose of the bill is to help families budget for school, but that isn't the case. Budget cuts have rapidly caused the fee to increase for the past couple of years. The UCs do not believe they can restrict to limits without maybe discontinuing state funds.
ReplyDeleteEnergy drinks such as Rockstars, Nos, and Monsters are the fade in young adults. It states in this article linked below that, energy drinks are the same as sodas except that it has much more caffeine than regular sodas. It has come to the public that it can cause health problems. Energy drinks are used in these modern times, to drink when wanting to be alert and awake for important events in people's lives. The affects of these energy drinks is that it causes your blood pressure and heart beat to go faster, which can lead to heart attacks and servere dehydration. I think that maybe we should ban energy drinks from our schools, to not risking our future kids' lives.

The article is about a solution to prevent further increasing of public colleges' and universities' fees. They wish to create a cap on how far the fees will go. The article clearly establishes the problem: the costs of further education is becoming a problem. And offers a solution: put a cap on fees. The article puts on an about face to discuss other regulations the bill would impose. Of these, banning caffeinated malt beverages seem to stick out the most.
ReplyDeleteOn banning caffeinated malt beverages, there seem to be several problems with this. The drink is favored by many, since it's some powerful stuff. Many companies agree to discontinue the product; however, there will be a decrease in revenues for the companies agreeing to do so. One of the reason for banning the drink is that they are extremely alcoholic and can cause death if combined with drugs. This ban wouldn't affect a large majority of people, and the decrease in revenues can potentially be minute; since, most of the malt-lovers are extreme beer-lovers.
After reading "Calif. bill would cap fees for college students”, I realized that everyone is getting affected by state budget cuts especially UC and CSU. California passed a bill in which they decline to state funding to its students. This increases the fees for college students. This can also lead to many people choosing not to attend college due to economic difficulties. The governor proposed the guarantee that at least 10% of general spending would go toward UC and CSU. Another issue in this article was the banning of caffeinated beverages. Due to the boost of alcohol levels and because research shows that caffeinated drinks in schools according to studies trigger and can cause strain on the heart and nervous system.
ReplyDeleteExpanding on the issue of banning caffeinated beverages in school I agree and see why schools are deciding to do so. Caffeinated beverages cause health problems on the long run and they are simply bad for the human body. The site where I researched about the banning of caffeinated malt beverages and sport energy drinks was http://healthinmotion.wordpress.com/category/drinks-unhealthy/. This site talks about the high level of chemicals of BPA found in caffeine load energy drinks. Chemical bisphenol A is a substance that imitates the female hormone estrogen and is now banned in baby bottles. The highest levels of the chemical, known as BPA, were found in caffeine-loaded energy drinks, but the residue was also detected in ginger ale, diet cola, root beer and citrus-flavored soda. I agree with some drinks being banned but not all because athletes really need to rehydrate after a long game and Gatorade is a very common drink.
Reading the article "California bill would cap fees for college students" by Robin Hindery, made me realize how this is a big issue in california. but really i think that with the econamical problams we all are facing now this issue about rasing tuition fees starting 2011 if the bill is pass. well considering that by that time we are going to be trying to apply for a college my question to you guys is, are we going to apply for the cheapest college? , is money going be a proble?, i mean our families are going to be looking at the prices right?well in the article it is stated that year-to-year increases would apply only to newly enrolled students.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the banning of caffeine beverages and energy drinks well acording to my research on these two web sites(http://hubpages.com/hub/Dangers-of-Enery-Drinks-Are-Energy-Bad-For-you, and http://arklate/honepage.com/conect/video/?watch=99511), i was blown away from what i found out. I have to admit i like and enjoy drinking red bull or monster but now am considering to band them from my life.like we all know some enery drinks like red bull,Amp,monster, and much more drinks they are dangerous derinks for once health conditions. forexample it increase the heart rate and blood pressure, and the dehydration of the body.Even though energy drinks are becoming increasingly popular these days we have to know what they contain like they contain at least as much caffeine as an eight ounce cup of coffe which is about 80mg. well with all that siad i think banning energy drinks from schools is not a bad idea.
In the article "California bill would cap fees for college students", it explains and shows how the declining economy is affecting everybody in today’s society. The article shows how they are trying to prevent and limit college fees. The enrollment fee will elevate because of the economy. With that said, there will be numerous amounts of people who will decide not to go to college because of the fees. One of these laws is the banning of malt beverages. With this law, there would be no more sugar-sweetened sports drinks. It clearly shows that these law changes are a response to the downfall of the economy.
ReplyDeleteThis website talks about the effects about your every day sports drinks. It states that the primary effect of sports drinks is to replace water and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium lost during the process of sweating. In addition, sports drinks contain sugars in the form of sucrose, glucose, or fructose which have the function of replacing lost carbohydrate stores and serve as a source of energy during an intense workout. It also states that sports drinks are better of used in longer workouts, rather than shorter ones. It states that some sports drinks can be linked to a heart disease. As one can see, the effects of sports drinks are mostly positive in that they help to prevent serious loss of fluids and electrolytes as well as help to maintain excelling exercise performance. If you choose the right sports drink and use it appropriately, your running and exercise performance may be enhanced and your sports performance improved.

In the article "California bill would cap fees for college students", it talks about the rise of fees and banning malt beverages and caffine beverages al well. California is trying to pass a bill in which they decline state funding to its students. And they hope to pass it in 2011-2012.California is also trying to pass a bill that will make the enrollment fee higher for all of the UC and CSU systems.
ReplyDeleteIn the article Nawgan Energy Drink: Brain Supplement http://www.energyfiend.com/2010/04/nawgan-energy-drink-brain-supplement. It talks about how the reveiwer talks about the drink. He says it tastes like spinal fluid which i belive that is gross. If we are going to be drinking caffine drinks they should at least taste good. i found out that the number one reason why they taste so "good" is because of the ingredients. And the number one ingredient is SUGAR!!. Sugar has a lot of effects on out body..because it can help us stay awake but then in an hour you crash and all of your energy is gone. Even though it says that it is a Brain Supplement it does nothing to you...it only helps you get worse and not help you in school at all.
The article, “California bill would cap fees for college students”, states that the deep budget cuts to California’s public colleges and universities have cause student fees to skyrocket in recent years. I do not agree with this because now when we go to college we have to pay much more. Like in a UC student fees rose by 61%, to $8,000 per year for resident undergrads, and 68% at CSU, to $4,900 per year. Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter said, “We have to get universities to realize that students and their families are not walking ATM machines.” That is right we are not walking ATM machines, we have families and our own expenses.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is right that they have banned caffeinated malt beverages and electrolyte drinks in high schools and in middle schools. Because Energy drinks are beverages which contain legal stimulants, vitamins (especially B vitamins) and minerals with the intent to give the person a burst of energy. Common ingredients include caffeine, guarana (caffeine from the Guarana plant), and taurine, various forms of ginseng, maltodextrin, inositol, carnitine, creatine, and glucuronolactone and ginkgo biloba. Some may contain high levels of sugar, or glucose. These drinks are usually sold to young people, students, people 'on the go' and those who play sports. All these ingredients are not good for your health that is why they say it’s made for young people because they do not care about their health, when older people do. Got the information at http://www.industryplayer.com/licenceinfo.php?licid=020218.
In "Cali bill would cap size fees for college students" talks about the effect of caffinated drinks and money spent on them. California is trying to passs a bill to get rid of caffinated drinks.
ReplyDeleteIn this article it talks about banning soft drinks. it stated The National School Boards Association(2002) noted that research suggest that an extra soft drink a day increases a child’s risk for obesity by 60 percent. Banning drinks as this is good for youe health so i http://icee.isu.edu/Policy/RBSoftDrinkBan.pdfthink its a good idea.
My opinion is that California shouldn’t pass the bill mentioned in this article. I think that should make all four years cost a consistent expense but they shouldn’t be able to keep raising the expense on new incoming students. I don’t think that is fair to incoming students. The colleges should just pick one consistent number and stick with it. This might cause the amount to be pretty high but then the school should think about other ways to help students out. Such as creating more financial aid programs and opportunities for students, lowering the costs of books and supplies, and lowering the cost of room and board. All of these things put together will make the expense balance out to a reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteAccording to http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/06/eveningnews/main1596047.shtml there is an important reason why many school don’t sell energy drinks. Most students how drink energy drinks at school have a difficult time concentration in class; they get headaches, stomach aches, and nausea. Many high school athletics coaches say that energy drinks cause bad effects on their athletes. Normally after an athlete will drink energy drink they will be able to play for while then will have to be pulled out of the game because of illness, many of which have been taken off the field by ambulances. Many kids will drink more than one drink in a sitting and the outcome will be there heart will beat so fast that they will not be able to catch their breath and they will freak out. In the article they say that they don’t know of any long term effect of energy drinks but there is defiantly a short term effect.
This bill is a great idea and would allow smart students stay in higher education schools without going into debt for the rest of their lives. Since the schools serve 3.5 million students, a bunch of money is being over paid for education that could go toward health care and medicine research. A 61percent hike in education costs is absurd and needs to be lowered. That is exactly what this bill would do and it should be a necessity to families with students that this bill be passed. Riots in campuses would decrease and students will be happy again. Everybody wins=D!

ReplyDeleteBanning caffeinated malt beverages and electrolyte drinks in high schools is a great idea because these beverages have legal stimulants, and vitamins which cause a person to burst with energy. Mainly these drinks are used to help an athlete perform better during a rigorous sport. The substances inserted in these drinks cause energy to enter into the blood stream and cause the drinker to get a little crazy. We do not need students running around getting wild, even if it helps them learn and study. Plus many side effects are harmful to the human body and are extremely fatal.

htp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine
In this wiki post, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_drink, the undesirable effects of energy drinks are mental crashes occur after the “hyper” period is over. Energy drinks take the emergency energy that a body stores up, such as strength a person needs to crawl a mile in the snow to a hospital. Emergency energy is stored in case it needs to be used up later. An Energy drink such as red bull uses up that energy and creates the person a sudden burst in energy. If students were to drink energy drinks during first period and stay hyper for third period, then a crash would come in fourth fifth and sixth period. This is something a student does not need.
ReplyDeleteThe websites I visited talked about the bold black, red, and yellow can bears a warning label that states, "READ LABEL BEFORE DRINKING " along with the words, "WARNING: EXTREMELY POTENT." The can also warns consumers not to use this product if they are under 18 or elderly and that it contains strong stimulants and should not be combined with other stimulants or fat-loss products. A new prescription drug; A special dietary supplement? No, it's Spike Shooter, a new energy drink aimed at 18-34 year olds, and, according to the website energyfiend.com, an 8.4-ounce can of Spike Shooter contains more caffeine than an entire 6-pack of Coca-Cola Classic. The energy drink market is estimated to be more than $3 billion and have more than 500 products vying for consumer attention. Three Colorado Springs area schools have alerted parents to the potential dangers of Spike Shooter, according to a story in the Colorado Springs Gazette, including one that persuaded a 7-11 store to stop selling the product. Doherty High principal Jill Martin has banned the drink from campus. She says that last week, two Doherty students were rushed to the emergency room after they drank just one can of Spike Shooter. Martin says at least 5 others complained of heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, after consuming the energy drink. With the law shown in the article given, there would be no more sugar and enhanced sports drinks. It shows that these law changes are a response to the downfall of the economy. The problem is should we allow the economy to fail or ensure American citizens that there health is safe
ReplyDeleteI concede with those who feel energy drinks are bad for you. In biomed class we finished a unit about diabetes. Too much sugar, the main ingredient of a teenager's diet, in the blood can cause serious problems. As well as diabetes, heart problems and obesity, it can cause aging and stress levels to increase. teenagers are already stressed, by banning these beverages, authorities are doing the students a favor. Forcing them to conciously make decisions on what they eat and how healthy they are.

ReplyDeletethere is too luch sugar supplied in the energy drinks that do not benefit the students.banning electrolye drinks helps the students be more focused; too much sugar leads to the lack energy. caffiene is also a bif factor in eliminating the drinks due to the high amount of it. there are some complaining against the policy, saying that there arent any negative effects from drinking diet pops and energy drinks. they argue that by changing the eating habits in school wont benefit anyone since kids will still make their choices on what to drink- energy drinks, outside of school. instead of developing a good sense of eating habits, some find that by putting bad labels on foo, teenagers will have an urge to eat it more.

On the article, it talks about how California will be having a deep budget cuts on Universities, State, and Junior colleges in the year of 2011 and 2012. The student enrollment fee will increase by 5% each year. Causing the rise of fees for UC and CSU by around 60%. This might reduce the chances for undergrads to try and enroll without financial aid. It wouldn’t be fair for the students.
ReplyDeleteResearch sites: Banning Beverages
http://www.mindbodyhealth.com/sodaban.htm
President Clinton and the American Heart association have discussed an agreement to ban soft drinks that are high-sugar beverages at schools. I don’t think the sale of soft drinks at schools significantly decrease childhood obesity and related health problems. The health and nutrition can’t be effectively addressed only to our schools. It doesn’t even make a difference because parents could still drop by Starbuck’s and apply them with sport drinks and sodas.
In "Cali bill would cap size fees for college students" it talks about California trying to pass a bill that is banning caffinated drinks. The budget cuts have caused fees to rise. i dont agree with this because now when i go to college it is going to be alot more expensive. If thinking about how much college costs, now its going to be alot more expensive, it might cause some people not to even think about going to college anymore.
ReplyDeletei reaserched some sites and i read that a young man bought an energy drink on his way to school and he started having problems with it. ifound this on http://www.energyfiend.com/2008/01/energy-drink-ban-the-beginning-of-the-end.
The article, “California bill would cap fees for college students”,is an overview of bills that will be discussed and voted on. The bills include: whether or not weapons can be tooken out in public; if caffine should be tooken out of both alcohol, and energy drinks in schools; how th UC's, CSU's and CCC's budget crisis and student fees will change for the best; another bill will discuss about if pension spiking will be prohibited.

ReplyDeletethoroughly reading "Calif. bill would cap fees for college students," i realized that students were going to have a harder time to go to school-budget cuts. while colleges increase student fees, there will probably be a decreasing amount of students. community colleges prices went up 30 percent, now that is a high number. those who wanted to have a cheaper education by not going straight to a university will have a financial difficulty in paying the bills on time for a community college. by agreeing that the Legislature should estalish a minimum level of guaranteed funding guarantees to keep thefinancial burden for students on the low.whoa, some bills should not be allowed like carrying a gun on public transmits, that is far too dangerous. california should definetly help out with the education system because it will determine california's fate. the educated young will soon have to step up when it comes down to work; might as well be intelligent when taking the elders positions.
After researching more about the positive and negative affects of caffinated malt beverages and electrolyte drinks in high school, I have learned that too much caffine is bad for oneself and one's health. In the article caffine Buzz can Take a Toll On Health, from the Chicago Tribune, I learned that excessive doses of caffine can be harmful towards one health, causing elevated blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and jitteriness. These health issues can lead to seizures and heart problems. caffine overdose is killing off many people, even our youth. http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/health/medical-research/07005000.topic
