How far can a California private psychiatric hospital go in violating the rights and safety of people with disabilities—without being held accountable? A new report from Disability Rights California (DRC) shines a harsh light on College Hospital in Cerritos (CHC), revealing a disturbing pattern of inappropriate restraint and seclusion, as well as questionable use of involuntary emergency medications. These are not isolated incidents—they point to systemic problems affecting some of the state's most vulnerable residents. On this program of Pushing Limits, we'll speak with Richard Diaz, the lead attorney on the investigation, to unpack the key findings and what they mean for psychiatric care across California. We'll also examine how a lack of oversight, transparency, and disability rights enforcement contributes to ongoing harm in institutions that are supposed to help people heal. What can be done to stop it? What recourse do disabled residents have? And what role should we all be playing in demanding better? Tune in to find out. This program is hosted and produced by Eddie Ytuarte. The post Locked In and Let Down in Cerritos – Pushing Limits – May 30, 2025 appeared first on KPFA.
BlueGreen Alliance's Richard Diaz discusses the relationship between environmental justice and infrastructure issues in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee faces a significant challenge with over 70,000 lead service lines. In response, the city has implemented a replacement program initiated by an ordinance in 2017. This initiative leverages federal funding to focus on disadvantaged communities, with an emphasis on neighborhoods identified as most in need through an area deprivation index.In this episode, Superintendent Patrick Pauly of Milwaukee Water Works, Janet Pritchard from the Environmental Policy Innovation Center, and Richard Diaz of the Blue Green Alliance discuss the program's funding strategies, including principal forgiveness funding that allows for 100% coverage of private side replacements without costs to property owners. They highlight the impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which has provided a substantial influx of resources, enabling Milwaukee to increase its replacement goals from approximately 1,000 lines per year to 2,200 in 2024 and 3,500 in 2025.Additionally, the discussion emphasizes a robust workforce development strategy, which mandates that contractors must allocate 25% of project dollars to small business enterprises and ensure that 40% of work hours are performed by workers from local disadvantaged areas.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet. This episode on lead service line replacement is supported by BlueConduit, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Environmental Policy Innovation Center.

Should You Change Your Gait? Can You? – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 127 with Richard Diaz Richard “Coach” Diaz is often referred to as “the guy,” simply because it's hard to encapsulate his many talents under one title. His experience and unparalleled diversity as a coach / clinician in endurance sport traces back nearly 40 years having conducted performance assessments for literally thousands of athletes from elite professionals to homemakers, is what defines him as the coach he is today. His focus is running mechanics and bioenergetics, which he believes are critical components of success in athletic performance. His decision to dedicate his life's work to the sport of Obstacle Course Racing quickly drew international recognition. Coach Diaz has traveled extensively all over the United States, putting on his highly acclaimed running clinics, turning mediocre athletes into Elite Competitors. His practice, Diaz Human Performance, is now based in Franklin Tennessee where he operates his “secret lab,” which many professional and recreational athletes regularly visit. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Richard Diaz about if you should change your gait. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How most people think they know how to run when they might not. - Why using evidence-based knowledge trumps anecdotal evidence. - How there are genetics involved that help decide whether you are a fast runner. - Why you don't need to have good form to win a spring or a marathon. - How putting your posture in the right space will yield astounding performances.

It starts out seeming like "The Odd Couple" but ends up becoming a training program that has the potential to change the way CrossFit athletes approach their training. Richard Diaz is recognized in the Obstacle Racing community as world renowned Running mechanic and diagnostican. Ryan Fischer is arguably one of the best CrossFit athletes in the world. Together they created a program that is incredibly different but remarkably effective in "Battling the War on Fatigue". Release only 5 weeks ago and many of the first adopters are reporting personal records in CrossFit workouts that used to leave them flat on their faces! Give it a listen... If you're intrigued here's wher you can get your copy. https://www.gymryan.com/pages/endurance-rich-diaz
Before you freak out, no, I am not turning tail on OCR or endurance training programs. If you follow my work, you know that recently I developed a program in collaboration with Ryan Fischer an extremely talented CrossFit Athlete. This program has been out for a mere 5 weeks and meeting with rave responses. An OCR athlete would do well to consider this process as the theme of the project is “Winning the Battle with Fatigue”. It so happens that an early adopter who has been in the program for said five weeks was kind enough to share his experience thus far.. It's worth a listen because his results are extraordinary. After you have a chance to hear his review feel free to reach out to him @mathewfreeman or pick up a copy of the program for yourself.

What happens when you mix one badass CrossFit athlete with Coach Diaz in The Secret Lab? Answer: You get a hybrid training program that is sure to set the CrossFit community on fire! I know what you're thinking… Coach Diaz and CrossFit? Had you asked me a year ago if this were ever likely to happen, I would have serious doubts. It took an introduction from Hunter McIntyre to bring Ryan Fischer and I together and I have to say, I was intrigued. Ryan is one of the fittest athletes I have ever met. When you consider the fact that he can deadlift 600 pounds (over 3 1/2 times his weight), clean and jerk 315, run a 53 sec. 400 meters and a 5 min mile. Most rational people would be hard pressed to disagree with me. This interview is way outside my playground and I love it! If you're a Spartan athlete, participate in obstacle course racing yet still enjoy intense strength training, this episode is for you! We reference a few videos we did in The Secret Lab, if you want to see them Go to my YouTube Channel “Richard Diaz” and see these and many more!

This episode sheds light on a training tool and training concepts that can make a tremendous difference in your ability to perform in a Spartan Race, as a runner and an athlete in common. I speak a lot about the role that stability and mobility plays in athleticism because in the absence thereof, there is only injuries. Full disclosure I am not sponsored by or paid to introduce these concepts or products on my show. I personally believe this is a tool that can truly make a difference if you follow the education they provide. I have invited Dennis Dumphy the cofounder of stickmobility on to share this info with you.
Recently I posted an offer for someone to be my guest and to pose some interesting questions regarding training and Obstacle Course Racing. An old friend/client Beni Gifford reached out with what I felt was some solid questions and here is what he wanted to know: I hear a lot of differing views regarding the concept of taking an off season and what it might look like, I am curious to get your take on this subject?How does periodization training fit into OCR?If someone (like me) wants to focus on developing “winning” speed for a 3K event such as NORAM, what should be the approach? This is just a sample of what we discussed, to find out my answers and more, you're going to have to listen to the whole episode!

Of course, the only way you'll see it is if you visit the home site of this podcast: www.naturalrunningnetwork.com
It's a pretty well known fact in most running circles that heel striking and over striding leads to injury. Many runners have made the shift to forefoot running and in doing so have migrated to zero drop shoes. Unfortunately for many, this transition has not come easy and has lead to a variety of new problems such as debilitating calf and achilles soreness. Coach Richard Diaz addresses these concerns, and offers some advice on how best to approach this transition and sheds light on the likely culprits that lead to these problems, what to do when these problems arise along with an opinion on the decision regarding zeros drop as a shoe selection. Is zero drop right for you? How long should this transition in running style take? When obstacle course racing, should you train in one style of shoe and race in another? These answers and more in this episode.
We decided to take more questions on training was we often do, our favorite this time relates to our children in sports. Are we doing the right things to encourage their enjoyment, desire to compete? Are we trying to live through our kids and causing more harm then good? Coach Diaz has had years of experience in this arena and shares his insights. He also touches on his preferred shoe selection for racing OCR, heart rate training and how to fit it all in if you have a life and a 40 hour work week. As a bonus, we share what it will take to get you a date with Zoe!

It may seem like a heavy statement to say “The Fittest Runner I've Ever met” but in all the years of assessing the fitness of athletes (over two decades) this runner, Blue Benadum has consistently tested off the charts in a VO2max test, I'm talking over 85 mls/kg/min! To put this in perspective, a score that high would rank in the top 1% of the fittest athletes in the world. This does not necessarily mean the top performer in a category but, Blue is no slouch. He won the Lake Tahoe Triple Marathon (3 consecutive marathons over 3 days) with an average finish of under 2:55 each. At the conclusion of the final marathon (which was the fastest) he executed 100 air squats and 100 pushups on there finish line! This weekend he'll participate in an IronManTriathlon with less than 9 weeks of preparation on a borrowed bike. You got to hear the entire story~
