Soda fountains contained fecal bacteria, study found (CNN) -- It fizzes. It quenches. And it could also contain fecal bacteria. Nearly half of the 90 beverages from soda fountain machines in one area in Virginia tested positive for coliform bacteria -- which could indicate possible fecal contamination, according to a study published in the January issue of International Journal of Food Microbiology. Researchers also detected antibiotic-resistant microbes and E.coli in the soda samples. "Certainly we come in contact with bacteria all the time," Renee Godard, lead author of the study and professor of biology and environmental studies at Hollins University, a private liberal arts college in Roanoke, Virginia. "It's simply that some bacteria may potentially cause some disease or gastrointestinal distress. One thing we hesitate with is that people get afraid of bacteria. Many of them are benign or helpful, but certainly, I don't want E.coli in my beverage." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's drinking-water regulations require that all samples test negative for E.coli. Many of the soda beverages from the dispensers fell below U.S. drinking-water standards, according to the findings. "The large number of beverages and soda fountain machines containing E. coli is still of considerable concern... and suggests that more pathogenic strains of bacteria could persist and thrive in soda fountain machines if introduced," the authors wrote. Godard and her colleagues acquired 90 beverages of three types, (sugar soda, diet soda, water) from 30 fast food restaurants in a 22-mile area near Roanoke, in southern Virginia. They surveyed beverages from both self-service and employee-dispensed machines and the samples were tested. There were no reported outbreaks of food-borne illness related in the Roanoke area at the time of the study. They found that 48 percent of beverages obtained from soda fountains contained coliform bacteria, 11 percent contained E. coli (which are mostly harmless, but some can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and pneumonia), and 17 percent had Chryseobacterium meningosepticum (which could sicken newborns or adults with weakened immune systems). Dean Cliver, professor of food safety emeritus at University of California Davis, said it would be premature to draw broad conclusions about all soda fountains from a localized study. "How sanitation regulations are promulgated and enforced in a community are different," Cliver said. "Some communities are more on to it than others. How much of a threat it represents? It's probably limited. Once again, it's a matter of what regulations are in place, who pays attention and whether it's being followed." The samples were contained in petri dishes and the bacteria multiplied within 48 hours, so much so that they became visible to the naked eye as 300 to 400 tiny dots, Godard said. A Hollins undergraduate microbiology student accidentally discovered that water from a restaurant beverage dispenser contained bacteria while completing a homework assignment. When the results came back, this piqued the interest of faculty and students. The researchers are uncertain how the bacteria got inside the beverage machines. "It could be from dispensing with a hand that wasn't clean or using wet rags to wipe down the machine," Godard said. "We haven't done the work to really identify those potential sources and how these bacteria get established." Manitowoc Foodservice, one of the leading manufacturers of ice and beverage equipment, did not have the opportunity to review the study, but released this statement in response to CNN.com's questions: "We emphasize in our product support material proper methods for and the importance of frequent, thorough cleaning and sanitizing of foodservice equipment. In food equipment as in any environment where microorganisms can occur naturally or be spread by contact, it is essential to follow proven steps for cleaning and sanitizing." The National Restaurant Association, a business association for the restaurant industry, e-mailed this statement in response to the findings: "While the results of this study are disconcerting, we feel that it isn't representative of our industry and that our guests can safely enjoy beverages from dispensers and single-serve containers alike." The American Beverage Association made this statement: "Fountain beverages are safe. Consumers can rest assured that our industry's fountain beverages pose no public health risk." The organization, which represents hundreds of beverage producers, distributors, and franchise companies stated that "Importantly, our industry meets, and often exceeds, all government health standards in bringing its products to market." Whether other outbreaks have occurred because of contaminated soda machines is difficult to determine, because food-related illnesses are notoriously challenging to

Soda fountains contained fecal bacteria, study found By Madison Park, CNN STORY HIGHLIGHTS * In university study, 90 samples were taken in a 22-mile radius of Roanoke, Virginia * 48 percent of beverages from soda fountains had possibly fecal coliform bacteria * Some of the soda from beverage machines tested below U.S. water drinking standards * Only one outbreak linked to soda fountain in a 1999 incident in U.S. Army base RELATED TOPICS * Contagious and Infectious Diseases * Health and Fitness * Consumer Protection (CNN) -- It fizzes.

Alright so my grandfather is a Navy Veteran, I am current 19 years old and a college student and live in his house to attend college.(military ids are normally provided to 18 and under but, one can be provided to a full-time college student up until the age of 24) I can prove that I live in his house through housing documents and my driver's license and I have my college ID. My friend, in the marines, said he could sponsor me so I can go to Belvia to go to the commissary to get food. I am going down to his house this tomorrow (for thanksgiving) and we were going to take a trip to Roanoke if it is possible. Quick help would be greatly appreciatedTo my understanding retiree's can sponsor ID's"Types # Military ID cards, also referred to as Form 1173, are color-coded to identify the status of the cardholder at a quick glance. A green identification card is issued to all active duty personnel as well as reservists. A blue ID card is issued to retirees or those who have been honorably discharged with veteran benefits. A tan card is issued to the eligible dependents of retired military personnel. A red ID is issued to the eligible dependents of reservists. " stop telling me no because, he's retired
Can a grandfather sponsor a military dependent ID?
Hello I posted this question at about 5am but apparently not many people are on at that time of day so I am going to re post it please answer to the best of your ability my dream has always been to become a police officer since I was a small child. I've done a lot to help my local departments since I was a small boy, example age of 6 raised $600 to buy a police K9 a bullet proof vest. My question here is that I am well qualified. In my second year of Criminal Justice and I'm the Captain of the Roanoke City Police Explorers (like police academy however we're not old enough to enter), the Captain is the head of command and I do everything that is needed in the post (i.e make test, give test, teach classes, recruit members, etc.). However, I recently found out that my vision disqualifies me from becoming a police officer. I am hoping that I can find another department somewhere that will accept my vision however I've had no such luck. I was wondering what other jobs I may be able to do? I don't want some office job where I'm just a pencil pusher however I want a job that is still involved in law enforcement. Please tell me any jobs in which come to mind in which may still be available and some what, what I am looking for if any come to mind. Thank you!I can't get laser eye surgery; I have amblyopia (I think I spelled that correctly). However, I didn't catch it time. My left eye uncorrected is 20/200 and corrected 20/70. My right eye is 20/20
Other jobs in Law Enforcement other than a police officer?

I just purchased a GPS and used it this weekend from Upstate NY down to Roanoke VA. During sunny times and right while on the Interstate, I would get a notification that satellite was lost. What was happening?
Other than overcast skies or very remote areas, what would cause me to lose GPS satellite signal?
I am a first time home seller, and wanted to get opinions on what should be my first step. Would it be getting an appraisal, or finding a realtor? Would a realtor take care of any appraisals? We want to relocated (currently living in Roanoke, VA) but not if we would lose a lot of money on the house since we only bought 19 months ago. Thanks!
