By all indications, lacrosse is the most rapidly growing sport in America both in numbers
and geographical distribution. US Lacrosse welcomes the opportunity for more youngsters to
learn about the sport and embrace the benefits it has brought to so many lives. We want,
however, to manage growth in a way that will foster love of the game, sportsmanship, fitness,

The Atlee Athletic Boosters is sponsoring a 5(k) Run/Walk to raise money for the care of a student athlete, Cole Sydnor. The event will take place on Saturday morning October 22nd at 8:00 am at the Atlee High School track located at 9194 Atlee Station Road in Mechanicsville, Virginia. Cole is a 16 year old at Atlee High School who became paralyzed from the chest down after diving into the James River this past August. Fortunately for Cole, his friends were with him and saved his life. He had surgery to remove his C5 and spent 11 days in the ICU at VCU Healthsystem. He was transferred to the Shepherd Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta Georgia to begin his rehabiliation.Cole is quite a special person, his friends, family, community and even strangers who hear his story are all coming together to to support him and the Sydnor family during this difficult time. The medical costs and expenses such as home modifications, travel and temporary housing for Cole's parents and brother, and a specially equipped automobile to transport Cole and his wheelchair are astronomical.It is also difficult for the family to be so far from their home here in Virginia while Cole is recovering in Georgia. We want to be able to provide them with a feeling of love, support and encouragement by conducting this benefit 5(k) race in honor of Cole.The student body of Atlee High School is also involved in planning this event and will be selling shirts that they have designed to help defray medical costs. They came up with the idea all on their own and are actively involved in volunteering their time and efforts to promoting this event and by selling the t-shirts.

Restaurant Trends 2014 by Restaurant BriefingMark Moreno
Hudson RieHle, Senior VP, Research & Knowledge Group, National Restaurant Association, predicts that the oPeRATinG enViRonMenT FoR ResTAuRAnTs in 2014 will continue on the same positive – but modest – growth path. “Overall, we’re certainly not looking at a rebound to prosperity, but things are headed in the right direction. Last year was the fourth consecutive year of growth for the restaurant industry, although modest. Moving into 2014, economic indicators such as real domestic product, real
disposable income, and employment growth remain positive.” Employment growth – which Hudson says shows signs of being somewhat higher in 2014 – is especially key for the industry because even a small uptick in employment translates into a greater ability for consumers to spend in restaurants.

Understanding the Different Kinds of Beef in the MarketplaceMark Moreno
The U.S. beef industry offers products that appeal to potential
customers. It accomplishes this through fresh beef identified
by different USDA quality grades (Prime, Choice and Select),
company brands and production methods (conventional, natural,
grass-finished and organic).
The taste, texture, tenderness and other properties of products
carrying these designations can vary, and marketers may
capitalize on the attributes that objectively describe their
products and their production methods. That’s the nature
of marketing.
It is important, though, that proponents of these types of
production methods not misrepresent their beef or beef from
animals raised conventionally. To claim conventional beef
is inferior because it contains minute additional quantities
of certain chemicals (e.g., hormones or pesticides), when the
amounts are insignificant and proven safe by science is not
appropriate. To say that grass-finished beef is superior because
it contains minute additional quantities of certain chemicals
(e.g., conjugated linoleic acid or vitamin E) when it is not
reasonably possible to eat enough to improve personal health,
also is not appropriate.
The U.S. beef industry has a wide variety of types of beef from
which consumers can choose, all of which are safe, wholesome
and nutritious. Conventional, natural, grass-finished and organic
beef are defined by production and marketing distinctions, not
by nutritional or safety differences.
http://www.beefresearch.org/CMDocs/BeefResearch/Beef%20Choices.pdf
The Facts; Busting the Grass-fed Beef MythsMark Moreno
Marketing claims that grass-fed beef is healthier or
more eco-friendly are a myth. Grain-fed and grassfed
beef are defined by production, marketing and
taste distinctions, not by nutritional or environmental
differences. The No. 1 reason consumers purchase beef
is taste. Grain-fed beef, like the Certified Angus Beef ®
brand, delivers the superior taste consumers desire.
Memorandum Opinion Sysco US Foods Merger / AcquisitionMark Moreno
Americans eat outside of their homes with incredible frequency. The U.S. Department of Commerce, for instance, recently reported, for the first time since it began tracking such data, that Americans spent more money per month at restaurants and bars than in grocery stores. 1 Of course,
Americans eat out at many other places, too-sports arenas, school and workplace cafeterias, hotels and resorts, hospitals, and nursing homes, just to name a few. The foodservice distribution industry supplies food and related products to all of these locations. Foodservice distribution is
big business. In 2013, the market grew to $231 billion. By some estimates, there are over 16, 000 companies that compete in the foodservice distribution marketplace.
The two largest foodservice distribution companies in the country are Defendants Sysco
Corporation ("Sysco") and US Foods, Inc. ("USF"). Both are primarily "broadline" foodservice distributors. As the name implies, a broadline foodservice distributor sells and delivers a "broad" array of food and related products to just about anywhere food is consumed outside the home.
In 2013, Sysco's broadline sales were over 40 billion and USF's were over 20 billion.
Order Granting Preliminary Injunction Sysco US FoodsMark Moreno
After considering the extensive record in this matter
and the parties’ legal arguments, the court finds that the FTC has carried its burden of showing that a preliminary injunction of the proposed merger between Sysco and US Foods is in the public interest. The FTC has shown that there is a reasonable probability that the proposed merger will
substantially impair competition in the national customer and local broadline markets and that the equities weigh in favor of injunctive relief. The court’s reasoning is set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion. Because the Memorandum Opinion likely contains “competitively sensitive information” of Defendants and third parties, Protective Order Governing Confidential Material, ECF No. 87 ¶ 1, the court has issued the Memorandum Opinion under seal to allow the parties to propose redactions of competitively sensitive information. The parties shall meet and confer and present to the court proposed redactions to the Memorandum Opinion no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 25, 2015. After considering the proposed redactions, the court will issue a public version of the Memorandum Opinion on June 26, 2015.
Sysco - US Foods PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAWMark Moreno
The evidence is overwhelming that the proposed merger is intended to capture the enormous efficiencies in excess of $1 billion in cost savings that will occur when Sysco and US
Foods combine These savings will enable the merged entity to compete more effectively including by lowering prices to the benefit of their customers. With the exception of handful of suspect customer and competitor declarations procured by the FTC speculating that prices might go up there is no evidence that prices will increase as result of the
Affordable Care Act - Next Steps for RestaurateursMark Moreno
Understanding the ACA and “operationalizing” it in a
restaurant business will be challenging. The Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Service published final
regulations in February and March that provide the rules
by which employers will comply with the employer-mandate
and employer-reporting requirements.

FTC Complaint Sysco US Foods AcquisitionMark Moreno
Respondents are—by a wide margin—the two largest broadline foodservice distributors in the United States and each other’s closest competitor. Sysco and US Foods are the
only two broadline distributors with nationwide networks of distribution centers, making them the best options for customers with facilities spread across the country.
Respondents also compete fiercely with one another in numerous local areas to serve independent restaurants and other foodservice customers.

Food & Water Watch Comment on Proposed Sysco US Foods MergerMark Moreno
Washington, D.C. — In response to the latest news of giant food corporations seeking to further consolidate, Food & Water Watch demanded that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission undertake a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the proposed merger between the two biggest U.S. foodservice distribution firms: Sysco Corp. and US Foods Holding Corp. These companies deliver food to restaurants, schools, hotels and other cafeteria and hospitality establishments.
In a letter sent yesterday to FTC Bureau of Competition Director Deborah Feinstein, Food & Water Watch outlines several antitrust concerns with the proposed corporate union that deserve close scrutiny; requests the agency to oppose the early termination of the antitrust review and urges federal regulators to extend the merger waiting period to thoroughly review the implications of the proposed merger.
