Sprint Training-Part 2
This week I'm headed for my Canadian Tour. I'll be doing the Northlands Road mile in Edmonton on Friday and then follow that up with the Victoria Track Classic in Victoria, BC, and then the Harry Jerrome meet in Vancouver, BC.
Sprint Training for distance runners:
After going over the why's on sprint training for distance runners, it's time to address the practical part, how to implement it. The most important part is probably to actually teach someone how to sprint. Correcting mistakes early and establishing a good foundation on sprinting mechanics early on will save a lot of trouble later, not to mention make for a quicker progression. I've talked about running mechanics on this blog a couple times, so if you need a refresher on my views, search the blog.
It goes beyond just correcting mistakes though. Distance runners need to learn how to truly sprint. It is our nature to try and push harder or increase the effort when we want to run faster. However, this does not work for sprinting. There's a point where trying to increase the effort does more harm than good.
When you see most distance runners sprint, they really try and bear down and force it. Compare this to the relatively relaxed sprinting of someone like Usain Bolt. Teaching the concept of relaxed sprinting is key. To do this, I suggest having runners do their initial sprint training at sub-maximum speeds. A good speed is usually around 400m pace. It is still fast, yet since it is only 100m, the athletes can still get the concept of relaxation while moving fast. As they grasp the concept, increase the speed while trying to get them to keep the same relaxation.
Ideally, this step of teaching relaxed sprinting or relaxed fast running is the first step. However, in many cases, such as when working with a large group of HS runners, this can't be done. It is not the end of the world if you skip this first step. Why? Because, with the progression I've outlined below, it is very easy for runners to kind of discover how to sprint with only minor coaching cues.
Progression of Sprint Training
The first step is Hill Sprints. These are becoming exceedingly popular for distance runners, thanks in large part to Renato Canova and later Brad Hudson. They are becoming popular because they work. It's funny how it almost seems like a trend or a fad to do hill sprints now. In reality distance runners, and even more so, sprinters have been doing short hill sprints for a long time, it's just never been popularized as a key to training.
Hill Sprints work as a great introduction to sprinting because it is almost impossible to get hurt doing them. In addition, it's almost impossible to sprint wrong while doing them too. They really emphasize hip extension and it's very hard to land on your heel while sprinting up a hill.
The slope of the hill depends on the purpose. A steeper slope for more strength and a more gradual slope for speed. Since these are acting as an introductory for pure speed work, I tend to suggest a moderate hill initially and progressing to a more gradual one as time goes by. For the above reasons, I tend to suggest a more gradual hill than the one that most people have seen in some of Brad Hudson's group training videos. Why? Once again, because I'm trying to use this as a transition for pure speed (in this context) and not necessarily as a stand alone workout in itself.
Start out with only a handful (4-5) of sprints that take 8sec or so. FULL RECOVERY in between is essentially. That means at least 2min, probably more. To keep myself and athletes I've worked with from doing these with too little recovery, we used to play a rousing game of throw the rock at a pole to see who could hit the pole the most times during the entire hill sprint session. It seems kind of stupid, but it served it's purpose of keeping recovery long enough. The sprints are initially so short that most runners don't feel fatigued after the first couple, so they rush the recovery. So, to keep them from doing this, throwing rocks at a pole served it's purpose.
These hill sprints start during the base period and (for HS kids) are done once a week. Each week, the number of hill sprints is increased until I get to about 10. Sometimes the length is also slightly increased (from 8 sec to 10 sec).
After several weeks of hill sprints, the transition then shifts to flat sprints.
Flat Sprints
The Hill sprints serve to prepare athletes for flat sprints. These are, preferably, done on the track. For HS kids, I generally tell them to keep these at just below 100%. This prevents kids from "forcing" the speed and overstraining to run fast.
To start with, the length of these sprints are generally 60m. Once again, full rest is needed, even more than with hill sprints. After building up to 8-10 hill sprints, I normally start off athletes with 4 or so flat sprints.
Like with everything I recommend, there is a gradual progression. To begin with, athletes will alternate between doing hill sprints and flat sprints. After a period of time, I might shift to where one is more emphasized, but it depends on the season and the athlete. For example, before track season if we are really focusing on improving pure speed, we might do flat sprints every week for a short period and drop the hill sprints all together.
Similarly, there is progression within the sprints themselves. The number increases from 4 up to 6 or so, and then the distance increases from 60m to 80m and finally 100m.
Putting it together: Speed Endurance
After several weeks (once again, depending on the season and the emphasis) we start a transition to speed endurance. What this means is that we add one or two speed endurance reps at the end of a pure speed session.
These speed endurance reps can be done after both hill sprints and flat sprints. It depends on the training emphasis, goal, and time of the year to which kind of sprints we will use. The general principles in adding speed endurance is the same for both types of sprints. I cut back on the pure sprints and initially add one rep of speed endurance at the end. For HS, I generally cut back from 10 to 5 or 6, and add in one 15-20sec sprint uphill at the end. For flat sprints, we cut back from maybe 5x100m to 3x60-80m with one 150m full sprint at the end.
The progression for speed endurance is similar to the other sprints. I will add one or maybe two more reps (seldom beyond that, unless speed endurance is the emphasis), and will slightly increase the length of the reps (from 150m to 200m, and maybe 250m).
What does this all look like?
I've mentioned many times that what you do in terms of speed and speed endurance training is dependent on other factors, so it is impossible to give a generic answer to how it should look for every athlete. The real answer is that it depends on the athlete and what you are trying to accomplish with that athlete. That determines how much you do, how long you do it, and when you do it.
Below is a generalized progression for an athlete before track season. This is done to show how things kind of blend together and progress. These are done once a week (in my training schedules, there done as the midweek, wed., workout most of the time, and done either following most of a distance run, or with a long warm-up/cool down.). Also note, this is a LONG build up, for HS kids, I use a shorter build up most of the time.
6x8sec HS
8x8sec HS
10x8sec HS
4x60m flat sprints
8x10sec HS
5x80m flat sprints
10x10sec HS
2x60m, 2x80m, 2x100m
8x10sec HS + 1x20sec
4x60m, 1x150m
8x10sec HS +2x25sec
2x60, 2x80m,100m, 150m, 200m
4x100m, 150m, 200m
Maintenance- Every 2-5wks (depends on athlete/season)- depends on if it's more speed or speed endurance, but an example: 3-5x60-80m sprints, 2x150m OR 2x60m, 100m, 150m, 200m.
Lastly, I'll be posting a retrospective analysis on the training for the HS kids I coach sometime in the future. It's something I like to do following each season to see if the athletes progressed as expected, how their races correlated with training, etc. It'll be good to look back and see how every aspect was developed and to see how an actual plan comes to fruition. Also, in terms of sprint training, it will give a glimpse of several of the concepts I've discussed above and how having a particular emphasis on speed training changes how much is done and when it is done.

You get a lot of shit for your own performance, mostly for factors beyond your control. I hope you get everything you wanted out of running for yourself.
However, even if you don't, you've already demonstrated yourself to be a fantastic coach- analyzing without obsessing, using science without being controlled by it, and giving equal attention to all the important parts of the fitness puzzle, rather than emphasize one too much.
All this stuff on sprint mechanics/pure speed/form is really interesting to me- I've always approached training from the fitness side of the equation and admittedly neglected the neuromuscular end of things. Your practical outlines for progression is really helping me implement this stuff in my own training.

I agree with Craig. Not many athletes have to deal with asthma, allergies to everything you breath, vocal chord dysfunction where your vocal chords close and you cannot breath while running, hamstring etc. Yet you continue to run and help others with all you do. Keep up the good work and good luck to you.ReplyDelete
Out of curiosity over my own program, which is mostly self-written in the summer...ReplyDelete
Your sprint training chunk reminds me of what I had planned on doing on Thursdays. Instead of my normal post run barefoot strides, I was going to do uphill strides, at a controlled/relaxed sprint, to work on leg strength and form and such. This would be done once a week in the summer, but I wasn't planning on transitioning to flat, apart from my normal strides. Should I?
Coach Tief,ReplyDelete
The approach is similar for before CC season. The concept is still the same. I want to do some neuromuscular sprint work before we get into the real heavy CC training.
In fact, I find during the summer that a weekly sprint session does wonders in keeping the legs fresh and responsive when kids are running just mileage.
I tend to look at things long term instead of season by season, so if we are really trying to work on leg speed/sprint ability, then before CC season we will follow a similar progression as outlined above.
However, most of the time, it's not neeeded and the demands of CC are different than track, so we stick with mainly hill sprints and don't do as much of a transition to flat sprints.
Instead we focus on converting some of that pure speed work into strength endurance via lengthening the hills, doing some circuits with sprinting and exercises, etc.
Sprint training is wonderful fun. I'll be 70 in 5 months and love inserting 10-sec sprints in easy runs when I'll feeling sufficiently recovered. I learned this from Arthur Lydiard via Keith Livingstone's wonderful book Healthy Intelligent Training. Similarly, uphill sprints on the ramp at the Stanford Univ. softball stadium are exhilarating. Point is: whether they improve distance performance or not, they are highly energizing, fun, and add "pop" to running at all speeds (after recovery).ReplyDelete
Hello, first off all thank you for the great blog content.ReplyDelete
I have a question about running form. On this link you can see bad quality picture of me sprinting, i'm 7.01s 60m, 11.01s 100m, and 49.47s 400m runner. I think i have errors in running form and the way i apply force...
Run form
If you would be kind and give me a short comment on my sprinting form from picture above. My observations are that my front arm is too high and too open and my knees are too high (those are probably related).
The thing i do not understand well is the hip extension. I'm not able to figure out if i have proper hip extension or not.
Thanks in advance,

I recently discovered your blog. What a treasure trove of information, thanks ! I have planned an updated training program for myself around your concepts (I am a masters runner and usually do 2 marathons and a few halfs during a year). One question, the 8 sec hill sprints seem really short and really finish before you can even build enough speed. Why are they so short? Would slightly longer ones of 12-15secs be as beneficial or would they be worse off?ReplyDelete

Are theological liberals turning against Clinton?
National | A surprising sermon from the mainline National Cathedral suggests they might be
The guest on the Rev. Jesse Jackson's CNN television show Aug. 22 was Jerry Falwell. Mr. Jackson, who regularly bashed Presidents Reagan and Bush for their foreign and domestic policies, and Mr. Falwell, who defended those Republican presidents, again found themselves on opposite sides. There was Mr. Jackson, quoting Scripture and asking why Mr. Falwell won't forgive President Clinton's admitted affair with Monica Lewinsky. And there was Mr. Falwell saying that forgiveness was one thing, but the ability to lead was quite another, and he believes Mr. Clinton has lost that ability. Of far greater significance than what these two men predictably said about Mr. Clinton was the message preached at the Washington National Cathedral that weekend by its chief priest, Nathan D. Baxter. You normally expect to hear sermons at this cathedral more in tune with liberal theology and liberal public policy (see p. 26). Mr. Baxter confounded that notion. In a sermon titled "Fig Leaves, Politics and Christian Faith," Mr. Baxter not only criticized President Clinton and his defenders for treating his relationship with Miss Lewinsky as private, he also blasted the morally squishy public, as depicted in opinion polls, for placing morality far behind economic prosperity. "The real power of politics is moral," he said. "Therefore, in leadership, immodesty or immorality is never private, for it affects the ability of a people to grant permission to lead." Society's obsession with material wealth, he said, has allowed us to tolerate moral irresponsibility. "What has happened to a nation more concerned about its wallet than its soul?" he asked. "What has happened, regardless of the politics around it, is morally unacceptable." Mr. Baxter also took on the notion, frequently quoted by some defenders of the president, not to judge others lest we be judged. He said holding the president accountable for his admitted acts is not judging but acknowledging a painful truth: "... our desire to keep sin private or ignore immorality is a judgment upon all of us.... Unless we acknowledge moral failing-without excuse-the soul of our nation will not heal." That a priest associated with the church's liberal wing would say such things might be a sign that the unity among liberal clergy is about to come undone. Liberal clergy were unanimous in their demands for Richard Nixon's impeachment. They were one in their criticism of the tax and welfare policies of Presidents Reagan and Bush and the Contract With America. But when a Nathan Baxter says things like: "I believe, more importantly, our children will be even more confused as to whether the truest treasure of our common life as a nation is found in the state of the economy or the character of our moral integrity," one senses that, Jesse Jackson excepted, an important shift is taking place in one wing of religious opinion. Mr. Baxter could pass for a moral clone of William Bennett. In his latest book, "The Death of Outrage," Mr. Bennett writes: "Far from being value-neutral, sex may be the most value-laden of any human activity.... The act of sex has complicated and profound repercussions. To deny this, to consider it to be something less special and powerful than it is, is a dodge and a lie. Sexual indiscipline can be a threat to the stability of crucial human affairs. That is one reason why we seek to put it under ritual and marriage vow." One expects such thoughts from William Bennett. One does not expect a similar message from the pulpit of the National Cathedral. In an interview following his sermon, Mr. Baxter said that some parishioners told him he had not been strong enough. An annual meeting between President Clinton and religious leaders is scheduled for this month. A few of the more conservative ones are undecided about attending. They fear being used by the president in his attempts to win public redemption. Will this be the venue Mr. Clinton appropriates to improve on his televised talk in which he sounded more combative than contrite? Mr. Baxter should attend and say to the president's face what he said in his sermon.

I hear a constant moaning and complaining about really bad mechanics but nothing about the good ones. So, I'm posting about a real positive experience I had recently. I live in the Cleveland OH area and couldn't find a competent Campy wrench anywhere in the North Ohio area. I called every shop from Akron, Clev, Youngstown and Lorain/Medina County. I'll bet 90% of the shops I called didn't have a wrench who knew anything about Campy or stocked their parts. Finally I stumbled on Mike at Parkside and he fixed me up real nice. He was the only mechanic who was willing to upgrade my Campy Chorus 8 speed wheels to 9/10 speed. He really knows Campy and bikes in general. If you are ever in the area and need to special order a part or get your Italian bike worked on he's the guy.

A Mississippi Army National Guard has earned one of the state's highest honors for his actions off the battlefield.
Sgt. Dan Adams was awarded the Mississippi Commendation Medal for trying to save the lives of two people who briefly survived a head-on car collision in March.
Guard leaders said the 27-year-old Adams "heroically" tried to save the young men after the accident near Carthage.
The parents of one victim have visited Adams, saying even though their son didn't make it they are glad he didn't die alone.
Adams is a member of the 2nd Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group and is currently training at Camp Guernsey in Wyoming.

Hollywood is Home for the Latest Raybestos Brakes SweepstakesWritten on June 21, 2010 Raybestos '32 Roadster Pickup Build Can Be Followed At RaybestosGarage.com
The star of this show-stopping sweepstakes campaign is a one-of-a-kind Raybestos '32 Roadster Pickup. The promotion has been developed to help engage DIYers, hotrodders, and racefans in celebrating the racing heritage and performance of Raybestos Brakes and Chassis Parts. From now until August 31, 2010, consumers can enter to win a Raybestos '32 Roadster Pickup -- built by Troy Ladd of Hollywood Hot Rods in Burbank, California. The traditionally inspired hot rod combines retro styling with modern technology and know-how.
"One of the most exciting elements of this promotional campaign is our new website: Talking Shop at RaybestosGarage.com," says Josh Russell, Dir. Sales & Marketing at Affinia Global Brake and Chassis, manufacturer of Raybestos Brakes & Chassis. "The site is interconnected to new Raybestos brand presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr. This leap into social media provides our customers and fans with a direct connection with the Raybestos brand, our builder partners, our racing partners, and fellow gearheads."
RaybestosGarage.com offers technicians, countermen and hotrodders a behind-the-scenes view of the custom build. Visitors get the inside scoop on everything from design inspiration to frame & suspension fabrication, powerplant selection, brake package design, and the custom paint & finishing work that will prepare the hot rod for its television, magazine, and SEMA debut. The website will feature weekly build progress updates, videos, photos, posts, and other content. Visitors are welcome to comment on the project, ask questions, and even offer advice via Twitter and Facebook. And of course, they can enter online to win the hot rod itself.
DIYers and repair shop customers may also visit any participating Raybestos dealers - either online or in their hometown - for a chance to win the grand prize. With a minimum $25 purchase of Raybestos(r) Professional Grade or Advanced Technology brake pads, rotors or wheel hubs, or Raybestos(r) Professional Grade Chassis products, consumers can redeem a printed promotional form (or tear-off card from the shop's countercard display) to receive a FREE Raybestos / Hollywood Hot Rods t-shirt. Redemption for the t-shirt also serves as an automatic entry into the sweepstakes for the Raybestos '32 Roadster Pickup.
Ladd and Russell have collaborated with some of the industry's top designers, artists and performance parts brands to make this project happen. Acclaimed designer Murray Pfaff of Pfaff Designs in Royal Oak Michigan provided the photo realistic artwork to help guide the build.
Hot rod illustrator Jeff Norwell completed exclusive artwork for a limited-edition tin tacker sign and the Raybestos Brakes t-shirts offered during the promotion. Final paint and finishing will be handled by self-proclaimed "Real Hotrodder of the Midwest" and ace painter Tracy Tichenor, owner of T&R Auto Body in Hammond, Indiana. Tichenor is an expert bodyman and custom builder; seen often on the TV series Overhaulin'. Russell said, "The collaboration of Midwest and West Coast hot rod builders, designers, and brake & chassis experts is creating a lot of buzz among hot rod enthusiasts. The RaybestosGarage.com website provides a neat opportunity to watch the gurus at work, follow the build progress, and share observations and opinions with other like-minded fans."
The Raybestos Roadster Pickup has been called the "ultimate parts hauler & shop truck." Inspiration for the hot rod's design is as if it was the Raybestos factory parts truck & show car in 1963, delivering brakes for the Indy roadsters up and down Gasoline Alley - as IndyCars were in fact running Raybestos brake pads at the Indianapolis 500 throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Design cues are pulled from open-wheeled Indy roadsters and Sprint cars of that era.

March 28, 2004
LOS ANGELES - The game started as a pitchers duel, but the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team exploded for eight runs in the third inning en route to an 11-0 run-rule victory over UCLA on Sunday afternoon at Easton Stadium. UCLA alum Lisa Fernandez struck out six and allowed just one hit on the day, while UCLA's Keira Goerl also struck out six in the loss. Statistics for this game do not count towards UCLA's season totals.
The game opened as a pitchers duel as UCLA's Keira Goerl and Team USA's Lisa Fernandez each retired all three batters they faced in the first inning. The first baserunner of the game belonged to Team USA, as former Bruin Tairia Mims Flowers drew a walk off of Goerl. Flowers would be out at second base as Lovie Jung hit into a fielder choice. Jung would advance to scoring position as she stole second base, but Kelly Kretchman lined out to end the inning.
Another former Bruin, Team USA left fielder Amanda Freed, recorded the first hit of the game, chopping a single to the left side of the infield and out-running Jodie Legaspi's throw from shortstop. A bunt single by Laura Berg followed, giving the Olympic Team runners on first and second with nobody out and the top of the lineup at the plate.
Former UCLA All-American Natasha Watley came to the plate and put down a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to the bag at first base was slightly off-line. It was caught by Lisa Dodd, but the ball was knocked from Dodd's glove as Watley ran through the bag at first base, scoring Freed from second base and advancing Berg to third. Goerl then intentionally walked Team USA slugger Crystl Bustos to load the bases for Fernandez.
Lisa Fernandez delivered with a two-RBI single up the middle, scoring Berg and Watley. Tairia Flowers followed with a walk to load the bases, and a fourth run scored on a single by Jung. Kelly Kretchman then stepped in and put a grand slam home run, her fifth round-tripper of the "Aiming for Athens" tour, just over the left field fence to give Team USA an 8-0 lead after two and a half innings.
After the Bruins went down in order in the bottom of the third inning with Lisa Fernandez continuing the perfect game, Team USA got hits from Bustos and Fernandez before Tairia Mims Flowers drew her third walk of the day to once again load the bases for Team USA. Jung then pushed across Team USA's ninth run with a single to left field. A fielders choice by Kretchman scored Fernandez for a 10-0 lead. Goerl was able to record her fourth strikeout of the game, catching Amanda Freed looking, to end the inning.
With two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, UCLA got its first baserunner of the day as Stephanie Ramos reached on an error, but pinch-runner Amanda Simpson was unable to advance as the teams finished the fourth inning with Team USA leading 10-0.
Pinch-hitter Jessica Mendoza led off the fifth inning for Team USA and was retired on a ground-out. Natasha Watley followed with an infield single, bringing former UCLA great Stacey Nuveman to the plate as a pinch-hitter, her first at-bat of the "Aiming for Athens" tour. Nuveman is UCLA's career record holder for batting average and holds NCAA career records for home runs (90) and slugging percentage (.945). Unfortunately, she was unable to deliver on Sunday, as she became Goerl's fifth strikeout victim of the game. Goerl would strike out her sixth and final batter, Lisa Fernandez, to end the top of the fifth inning.
Emily Zaplatosch broke up the no-hitter with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, capitalizing on a slow-moving infield chopper to reach first base before the throw. She was replaced by pinch-runner Ashley Herrera. After Lisa Dodd flied out to center field, Team USA head coach Mike Candrea removed Fernandez in the circle, replacing her with Lori Harrigan, giving the Easton Stadium crowd a chance to salute her impressive performance on the day. Whitney Holum proved to be the final batter of the game, popping out to end the game.
Keira Goerl struck out six in the game, as did Team USA starter Lisa Fernandez. Fernandez.
UCLA returns to action on Tuesday afternoon with a 1 pm first pitch against Cal State Fullerton at Easton Stadium. The Bruins will then travel to Arizona State and Arizona next weekend to open Pac-10 play.

On Wednesday the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio unanimously ruled that Akron, Ohio-based energy supplier FirstEnergy Corp. must credit its Ohio customers $43.3 million for overcharging for renewable energy credits (RECs) from 2009-2011 that it purchased from its affiliate, FirstEnergy Solutions.
RECs are tradable, non-tangible energy credits that represent proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been sourced from an eligible renewable energy resource. First Energy Solutions is an energy generator and supplier, while First Energy Corp. is an electricity distributor, which means that it sources its electricity from elsewhere, which requires them to issue bids seeking the most competitively priced energy from a supplier such as First Energy Solutions.
According to the First Energy Corp. website, First Energy Solutions is the competitive subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. Both suppliers are based in Akron. An audit conducted by Exeter Associates Inc. revealed that FirstEnergy Corp. paid 15 times more than any other company in the country to purchase the RECs from FirstEnergy Solutions, and FirstEnergy Corp. passed that overcharge onto consumers.
In a copy of the order issued yesterday by the PUC obtained by CityBeat, it states that, "The Companies contend that, given the nascent market, lack of market information available to the Companies, and uncertainty regarding future supply and prices, the Companies' decisions to purchase in-state RECs were reasonable and prudent."
In summary, FirstEnergy contends that because it was scrambling to find a way to meet the state's Clean Energy Law requirements, it had to buy these RECs no matter the cost, and that there are no legal specifications within the Clean Energy Law that requires RECs be purchased or sold at market price; and that the costs issued to them, and subsequently, customers, weren't unreasonable.
The Ohio Consumers Counsel, however, says that there were cheaper alternatives available and that FirstEnergy should have checked with the PUC prior to paying 15 times more for RECs than any other country had in the past. If they'd rejected the exorbitant bids, says OCC, and instead consulted with PUC and OCC, they could have come up with a solution to prevent from charging customers excessively high rates.
In June 2012, FirstEnergy Solutions was the winning bidder in Cincinnati's energy aggregation program, which is supposed to allow us to receive lower "aggregate" rates for buying in bulk. At the time, FirstEnergy touted the merits of its "100 percent green" energy supply, sourced from wind, solar, biomass and other renewable resources. The bid was expected to save homeowners around $133 annually.
What enabled FirstEnergy to provide the "clean" energy was its use of a system with non-tangible renewable energy credit (RECs) that each represent proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been sources from a renewable energy resource.
Purchasing the credits from its subsidiary allows FirstEnergy Corp. to meet the state's renewable energy standard, which requires that by 2025 all Ohio utility companies provide at least 25 percent of their energy from renewable resources.
Because the lawsuit issued by the PUC examines only the amount paid for RECs during compliance periods between 2009 and 2011, Cincinnati customers who switched to FirstEnergy Solutions last June should not be affected, although the FirstEnergy arms' ambiguous behavior, says Dan Sawmiller, a Sierra Club member who manages Ohio's Beyond Coal campaign, is a likely indicator that the company may be engaging in other unethical practices related to consumer transparency.
The company has not been devoid of controversy in the past. In March, CityBeat reported on state environmental groups' concerns with the movement to lower requirements for defining renewable energy and energy efficiency; FirstEnergy was part of the bloc working to weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law in hopes of keeping corporation costs low. FirstEnergy was also chastised by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in 2009 for distributing and charging customers for energy-efficient light bulbs without receiving customers' authorization.
Sawmiller commended the PUC for fining First Energy, although he suggests the fine is likely modest for the actual damages. He still expresses concern about the need for corporate separation between the two FirstEnergy arms. "The commission left much to be desired in terms of transparency, leaving customers in the dark about what types of renewables are being provided, where are they coming from and at what cost," says Sawmiller in Sierra Club's press release.
The study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found salaried workers fared much better than hourly workers, and all-cause mortality was below expectations for them despite increased malignancies in blood, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and thymus cells.
Hourly workers weren't so lucky, according to the study. They had above-average cancer mortality rates in comparison to the rest of the U.S. population, but tests only provided evidence for a connection between hourly workers and intestinal cancer.
Previous studies also found a link between non-malignant respiratory disease and exposure to radiation, but the NIOSH study found no such connection. The discrepancy could be due to "improved exposure assessment, different outcome groupings and extended follow-up" in the NIOSH study, according to the study's abstract.
The NIOSH study followed 6,409 workers who were employed at Fernald for at least 30 days between 1951 and 1985, following them through 2004.
Fernald was initially surrounded by controversy in 1984 when it was revealed that it was releasing millions of pounds of uranium dust into the atmosphere, causing radioactive contamination in surrounding areas. The controversy was elevated when Dave Bocks, an employee at the factory, mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead at a uranium processing furnace. Some suspected Bocks was murdered for allegedly being a whistleblower, but no evidence of foul play was ever officially recorded.
You poison one little French farmer and all hell breaks loose. Giant chemical-maker Monsanto yesterday announced it plans to appeal a Monday ruling that one of its herbicides in 2004 poisoned French farmer Paul Francois, who says inhaling a Monsanto weedkiller led to "memory loss, headaches and stammering"(coincidentally, these are the same symptoms of the accidental hangover™).
In addition to the French farmer being pissed enough at the company for giving him a hangover when he was trying to work his farmland, there are about a million other people officially declaring themselves as against Monsanto via "Millions Against Monsanto," an organic consumers association that campaigns for "health, justice, sustainability, peace and democracy." If you accept the possibility of Monsanto obstructing even a majority of these five concepts, it's easy to believe the company has enemies from a lot of different backgrounds.
That's why Monday's ruling by a French court finding Monsanto legally responsible for poisoning Francois and ordering it to compensate him has enlivened a bunch of angry activists.
Millions Against
Monsanto offers a wealth of content documenting the agricultural
biotechnology corporation's government ties, tendencies to take
small dairies to court, refusal to compensate veterans for Agent
Orange and getting their nasty chemicals in normal people's water
supplies. (Wikipedia is hilariously filled with references to things like dumping toxic waste in the UK, Indonesian bribing convictions and fines for false advertising.) Even 'ol boy Obama has gotten caught up in the mix with
charts like this one circulating on Facebook:
The latest news out of Millions Against Monsanto is the moving forward of a California ballot initiative to require mandatory GMO labeling that polls show has 80 percent support. According to the site:
"A win for the California Initiative would be a huge blow to biotech and a huge victory for food activists. Monsanto and their minions have billions invested in GMOs and they are willing to spend millions to defeat this initiative. California is the 8th largest economy in the world. Labeling laws in CA will affect packaging and ingredient decisions nation-wide. The bill has been carefully written to ensure that it will not increase costs to consumers or producers."
Back in France, our
friendly farmer will have to wait a while for whatever compensation
poisoning amounts to, as Monsanto says it will appeal the ruling.
According to The Washington Post: Monsanto spokesman Tom Helscher
says the company does not think there is "sufficient data" to
demonstrate a link between the use of Lasso herbicide and the
symptoms Francois reported.
"We do not agree any injury was accidentally caused nor did the company intentionally permit injury," Helscher said. "Lasso herbicide was ... successfully used by farmers on millions of hectares around the world."
As cities rush to solve major problems with water infrastructure, newer technologies are being touted by city agencies as cheaper, cleaner solutions. In two different local projects, the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) and a City Council task force are looking into green ways to solve the city's water needs.
On Wednesday, CityBeat covered some of the benefits and downsides of green water infrastructure. According to the report reviewed Wednesday, green water infrastructure is cheaper and does create a boon of jobs, but it faces some funding and education problems. However, it was unclear how the green ideas would translate into Cincinnati.
Tony Parrott, executive director of MSD, says despite the challenges, green infrastructure is clearly the cheaper option. The organization is partnering with local organizations to adopt a series of new projects — among them, green roofs, rain gardens, wetlands — to meet a new federal mandate that requires MSD to reduce the amount of sewer overflow that makes it into local rivers and streams.
"That is a very costly mandate," he says. "Our belief is that green infrastructure and sustainable infrastructure will allow us to achieve a lot of those objectives a lot cheaper than your conventional deep tunnel systems or other gray type of infrastructure."
Of course, conventional — or "gray" — infrastructure still
has its place, but adopting a hybrid of green and gray infrastructure
or just green infrastructure in some areas was found to be cheaper in
MSD analyses, according to Parrott.
Plans are already being executed. On top of the smaller projects that slow the flow of storm water into sewer systems, MSD is also taking what Parrott calls a "large-scale approach to resurrect or daylight former streams and creeks that were buried over 150 years ago." This approach will rely on the new waterways to redirect storm water so it doesn't threaten to flood sewers and cause sewer overflow, Parrott says.
The programs are being approached in a "holistic way," according to Parrott. MSD intends to refine and reiterate on what works as the programs develop. However, that comes with challenges when setting goals and asking for funding.
"We think that if you're going to use a more integrated approach, it may require us to ask for more time to get some of these projects done and in the ground and then see how effective they are," Parrott says.
If it all plays out, the ongoing maintenance required by the green approach could be good for the local economy, according to Parrott: "With the green and sustainable infrastructure, you're creating a new class of what we call green jobs for maintenance. The majority of those jobs are something local folks can do as opposed to the conventional process." Additionally, the green jobs also tend to benefit "disadvantaged communities" more than conventional jobs, according to Parrott.
The argument is essentially what Jeremy Hays, chief strategist for state and local initiatives at Green For All, told CityBeat on Wednesday. Since the green jobs require less education and training, they're more accessible to "disadvantaged workers," according to Hays: "They require some training and some skills, but not four years' worth because it's skills that you can get at a community college or even on the job."
While MSD fully encourages the use of rain barrels, recycling will not be a top priority for MSD's programs. Instead, that priority goes to the Rainwater Harvesting Task Force, a City Council task force intended to find ways to reform the city's plumbing code to make harvesting and recycling rainwater a possibility.
Bob Knight, a member of the task force, says there is already a model in place the city can use. The task force is looking into adopting the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) in Cincinnati. The code will "prescriptively tell" architects and engineers how to design a rainwater harvesting system. In other words, IGCC would set a standard for the city.
Deciding on this code was not without challenges. At first, the task force wasn't even sure if it could dictate how rainwater is harvested and recycled. The first question Knight had to ask was, "Who has that authority?" What it found is a mix of local agencies — Greater Cincinnati Water Works, MSD and Cincinnati Department of Planning — will all have to work together to implement the city's new code.
The task force hopes to give its findings to Quality of Life Committee, which is led by Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, by the end of November.
Without much fanfare
but with supporters looking on in the Losantiville Room in Union Terminal,
Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance on Wednesday banning the injection of
wastewater underground within city limits.
"I'm proud to be on the first City Council to ban injection wells," said Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who submitted the ordinance to council.
"I want to give props to the solicitors … who have come up with a very unusual thing in City Council — a one page ordinance."
The ordinance, which passed unanimously after being voted out of committee on Tuesday, is aimed at preventing the injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, under Cincinnati. Its injection has been linked to a dozen earthquakes in northern Ohio.
Opponents also worry that the chemicals in the water, which is used to drill underground to free up gas and oil, can seep into drinking water. Oil and gas companies aren't required to disclose which chemicals they use.
It's unclear if the city's ban on wastewater injection would hold up against a 2004 state law that gives the state of Ohio sole power in regulating oil and gas drilling. That regulatory power also extends to Class 2 injection wells.
At a news conference earlier in the day, Quinlivan cited a ProPublica story that said between 2007 and 2010, one well integrity violation was filed for every six wastewater injection wells.
She says data like this makes it clear injection wells are
too dangerous.
Food and Water Watch organizer Alison Auciello spoke in
support of the City Council ordinance at the news conference.
"We're pleased City Council has moved swiftly for the protection of its citizens," Auciello said.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has received no injection well permit requests for southwestern Ohio, but Auciello says the legislation is a good preventive measure.
Heidi Hetzel-Evans, a spokesperson for ODNR, says it wouldn't be feasible to build injection wells in southwestern Ohio due to the region's geology.
"It's safe to say oil and gas drilling has no direct impact on southwestern Ohio," Hetzel-Evans says.
Auciello says more bans like the Cincinnati ordinance are necessary in Ohio. She says she's concerned that Ohio is being turned into a dumping ground as massive amounts of wastewater from Pennsylvania are brought to Ohio due to a lack of regulation.
Auciello also echoed calls from environmental groups to ban fracking in Ohio. However, fracking supporters — including Gov. John Kasich — insist the process can be made safe with proper regulations.
This story was updated to reflect City Council's afternoon vote.
The resolution expresses council's dissatisfaction with the Ohio Legislature for granting "special privileges to the oil and natural gas industry" and asks it to repeal any laws that pre-empt local control over drilling.
The resolution targets the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," which uses chemically-laced water to free up natural gas trapped in shale formations underneath Ohio.
Fracking opponents worry that the chemicals used in the fluid — which companies aren't required to disclose — can be toxic to people and animals.
Prior to the council vote, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan held a news conference on the steps of City Hall.
"I believe local officials should have a say on all matters related to potentially hazardous activities such as fracking," Quinlivan said in an emailed statement. "I urge my colleagues to send a strong message to the Ohio Governor, the Ohio Legislature, and Cincinnati residents by passing this resolution."
A 2004 state law puts regulation of oil and gas drilling
under the state's purview, preventing municipalities from regulating
drilling on their land.
Copies of the resolution will be sent to Gov. John Kasich and members of the Ohio General Assembly elected from the Cincinnati area. The resolution comes after Ohio recently lifted a moratorium on new injection wells, which shoot wastewater deep underground for storage.
There had been a temporary ban on new wells almost a year ago after seismologists said an injection was to blame for 11 earthquakes around the Youngstown area.
City council in August passed an ordinance to band injection wells within city limits. Because the injection well ban doesn't mention drilling, council hoped it wouldn't clash with the state law preventing local regulation of oil and gas drilling.
Environmental Justice is about keeping already polluted neighborhoods from having to accept more polluting neighbors – usually industry, not a family of 12 or more. The myth that jobs will be lost and businesses will choose other locations (taking their precious tax dollars with them) is one of several objections used to support placing polluting companies in "overburdened" areas.

Cheaha to Tuskegee on 49
Average Rating - This road has been rated by 5 visitors
State: Alabama
Date Submitted: March 1, 2004
Submitted by: "Hump"
Motorcycle Road Length: 80 Miles
Written Directions
Find Cheaha State Park which is about 20 miles east of Talladega, AL. From there simply take State Route 49 south all the way to Tuskegee.
The route is especially scenic on the northern part as you will travel through the very beautiful, scenic, and rugged part of the Alabama which falls in the Talladega National Forest. Here you can enjoy seeing the highest point in Alabama - Cheaha Mountain (2,799). From there you will head south and pass through a few rural small towns and make your way down to Tuskegee
Road Quality
The roads are hilly and have a lot of twists and turns. Watch for waterfalls along the roadside in the spring. There are stretches where little amenities are available. If going off into a canyon or wilderness area, be sure you have plenty of gas and drinking water.
Roadside Amenities
Overall there isn't too much to offer out on this route in terms of amenities yet you'll find plenty of eating places scattered along the way (ex. fish, BBQ, steak burger joints). You may want to visit Cheaha State Park at the beginning of your route.

|Comment: I normally take this route heading North as a "scenic" route detour leaving from Destin and headed to Atlanta. It's beautiful drive and going North allows you to finish in Cheaha where the roads began to twist in fantastic fashion. When 49 ends, you can take 281 East to Cheaha road, snaking through gorgeous scenery the whole way.

This is a great way to spend the day, there's a restaurant on top of the mountain with a good old country buffet and usually a lot of riders to chat with. I typically ride the southern section just below Dadeville, great pavement with many fast turns. There's one turn in particular that if you're doing less than 80mph you're going to slow and that's on a cruiser, so sport enthusiast your gonna love it.

Menswear will be the focus of the final day of London Fashion Week today.

It's supposed to be in the lower 30s on Saturday morning.
Nothing like going from 85 last weekend to 30-something the following. Gotta love Iowa weather.
I am sitting in a conference call right now, and it is my day off!!! I think I will gladly welcome the cold air and cold beer tomorrow morning. Remeber the more beer the warmer it gets.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Hell will actually freeze over.
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
I like it, usually when the weather isn't "fair", it bodes well in ISU's favor.
It's only a matter of time until I get sick. Big temp swings do it to me every time.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.

Weather beacon's white; an ISU victory is in sight.
It's football weather!
Go Cubs Go!
Should be a good one for HS football tonight.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Updated low for tonight: 28 degrees. Looks like frost is a sure thing tomorrow morning.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
It was 93 degrees in Wichita yesterday - I don't know if my body's ready to get up at 5 am and freeze my backside off yet. It'll be worth it though!
The frost lifts to a low fog, hoards of people gather 'round the grill not for burgers and brats, but for the great smell eggs, bacon and blood mary's. This is Iowa in September, this is football season, this is Iowa State.

You're probably in shock right now, because last night's episode of HBO's Game Of Thrones was boob free. Yes, there was not one sex scene or pair of tah-tahs shown. It was down to business and quite a relief.
Catelyn Stark is still at Renly's camp and trying to convince him that her son Robb has no interest in the Iron Throne. It's all happy and congenial until… BAM! That dementor smoke monster dude of doom swoops into the tent and ruins everyone's day.
Ghost man straight up stabs Renly in the back and the dude is super dead. His insanely buff lesbo guard Brienne is in shock and when Renly's guards enter the tent they think she has killed him. She fights and kills them like the badass that she is and then falls to her knees to weep for her king. Catelyn is like, 'Yeah, that really sucks that he is dead and all, but we need to drop the mike on this bitch before someone throws us both into the dungeon yo!'
The next day Loras is upset at his lover's and Renly's beard wife Margery just wants to be "the Queen". Petyr Baelish is all over this sweet opportunity and pretends to care, sending word back to Cersei (Lena Headey) and Tyrion. They worry that Stannis will be furious over his brother's death and she is still butt hurt over her little daughter getting shipped away to the highest bidder. Apparently, King Joffrey has some next level shit up his sleeve and she is not telling anyone what that means.
But Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) has his ways and he confronts Cersei's latest incest lover, some douche bag cousin of theirs, and he tells him in a very tiny secret tent in town square that Cersei making maaaaaagic fire power that is going to eff Stannis' ships up royally. Rock on. Tyrion checks that out and realizes, yeah she has straight up been pyromancin' in secret.
Meanwhile, the newly baptized Theon is ready to rock as Captain of the shit show ship, but even his neanderthal crew thinks he is a joke and so does his creepy sister. Girl has thirty ships and he has shittiest ship. Poor Theon.
Arya is now in enemy territory serving Tywin and he figures out she is from the North, asking her what they say of Robb Stark. Apparently, he rides wolves and shit, so she is throwing out that braggadocio to scare these mofos before realizing she has to look out for herself. She says that anyone can be killed, even Robb Stark. Out in the square she bumps into one of the prisoners she freed who tells her that he owes her three deaths and they can be any three people she wants. She immediately chooses that torturer from last episode and soon enough, he is super dead. She realizes this death thing could be pretty awesome for her in the future
Jon Snow is stuck in the snow and the group sees a camp of Wildlings across the way. Jon is all over this and Sam takes over his duties while he is gone. And also, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) looks amazingly hot and brooding in his furs and furrowed brow and all that.
Tyrion tells the pyromancer to show him Cersei's stock of fire power and realizes there are over 7,000 bottles hidden beneath the city. He then says that those belong to him now and he will be using them for some future shitstorm.
Back in fancy town Quarth, Dany (Emilia Clarke) is dressed to kill in a sweet little light blue number and even though there are whack magicians just replicating themselves at random. Then a faceless masked woman tells Jorah that he needs to keep a close eye on that blonde babe, because everyone wants a piece of that. Xaro wants to wife that and tells Dany she can have it all if they fight together for the seven kingdoms. She considers it, but Jorah essentially confesses his love for her and tells her she deserves the throne to herself because she is kind and will be loved as the true Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
Brienne and Catelyn are on the run after the whole dementor smoke monster debacle with Renly. Brienne is extremely upset that she could not save her king and she decides that she will now bind herself to Catelyn until Lady Stark gives her the go on killing Stannis.
Little Bran is back at Winterfell dealing with boring villagers and having dreams that the sea is up to the castle walls and Sir Rodick was ready to take them down. This doesn't sit well with Tonks…errr… I mean Osha.
By episode's end we get a sweet, sweaty, hot shot of Gendry's killer bod and Arya tells him his sword fighting is the worst. She schools him in the art and gets ready to use Jaqen her assassin for a couple more kills. Rock on. It will be awesome to see Arya grow into the badass that she truly is and Game Of Thrones just gets better and better.

Strand Releasing has acquired all US rights to Matthew Bissonnette's "Passenger Side," which is screening in this year's edition of the Marche du film at the Cannes International Film Festival. The deal was negotiated between Jon Gerrans of Strand Releasing, Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films, and producer Corey Marr.
"We're thrilled to be working with this talented team and have been a fan of the film since it debuted [at the Los Angeles Film Festival]," said Gerrans in a statement.
Writer/director Bissonnette's film stars Adam Scott, Joel Bissonnette, and Robin Tunney, and is a "comic road movie that never leaves Los Angeles."
As described by Strand Releasing:
"On the morning of his thirty-seventh birthday Michael (Adam Scott) wakes up in Los Angeles. He is at the end of the country, the end of his over-extended youth, and the end of his literary luck. At this pivotal moment the telephone rings, and it is Tobey (Joel Bissonnette), his baby brother, a terrible drug addict, now ostensibly clean, and once again in need of help; his car is broken and he has a job interview; needs to pick up his dry-cleaning, return library books, etc - or so he says. Michael puts off his seemingly romantic birthday plans, and with his brother embarks on a sketchy, meandering day long odyssey through the mysteries of Los Angeles County. As the day unfolds the two brothers talk about their past, present, and futures; meet loads of strange characters; cover many, many miles, and it becomes clear that this drive will, in the end, lead them to some very unexpected destinations."
The film was named one of "Canada's Top Ten" films of 2009 by the Toronto International Film Festival, and has additionally screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Atlantic Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, Whistler Film Festival, and the Edmonton International Film Festival where it was awarded the 'Citytv Award for Best Canadian Feature'.
"As filmmakers you hope to find a distributor that will have the passion and dedication to nurture your film into the market place," said the film's producer Corey Marr in a statement. "We are excited, and feel very fortunate, to have found that distributor in Strand. We look forward to working with Jon and Marcus and their team so that 'Passenger Side' can reach the widest audience possible."
Foreign sales are being handled by Mark Austin of Breakaway Media. The film was produced in association with Telefilm Canada, The Movie Network, and Movie Central.

On the other hand, if their is an easy way to modify them so I can pre-program commands, I would definitely try it!If and when I get a performance going, I will try to remember to post a video here.

Sram S300 130 BCD cyclocross crank, 44t chainring, two Salsa Crossingguard bash guards, 12-27 Shimano Ultegra 10 speed cassette and an Ultegra short cage rear derailluer.
This is installed on my Soma Double Cross, this is used for paved road travel. I can climb any hill within 100 miles of home and can I spin the cranks up to 32 mph.
When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
I have a 40 dollar crank set (fsa vero), and to buy the bashguard/new chain ring would cost as much as a new truvativ isoflow single crank. So thats probally the better bet?
Ultregra crank with 39t inner ring and an old outer ring ground down as an outer jump stop, with an N gear inner jump stop:
I'm using a Cane Creek lever for the front brake, because it matches the STI rear shifter better (size wise). Which gives me a V brake in the front, since the CC lever is a long pull lever. Works fine, looks odd.
42T ring with a 12-27 in the back. Salsa guard outside and N-stop on the inside.

SBB LP poland jazz fusion prog SS
SBB. - s/t Supraphon 1 13 2218 H 1978 Czechoslovakia issue------------------------------------------------------------------------- Condition - Still Sealed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The best Polish progressive jazz fusion prog band.. Track listing 1. Wolanie o brzek szkla (19:05) 2. Odejscie (19:40) - J�zef Skrzek / vocals, keyboards, harmonica - Apostolis Antymos / guitars - Jerzy Piotrowski / drums, percussion ---------------------------------------------- The story of SBB (Search - Break - Build) (from Piotr Szymczak) SBB came into being in 1971 as Silesian Blues Band founded by Jozef Skrzek (who was by that time renowned bassist - known for his work with 'Breakout' - the famous (in Poland, of course) polish blues group. Skrzek was classicaly educated as a pianist). The other members of the band were Jerzy Piotrowski (drums) and Apostolis Antymos (guitar). The trio made some radio recordings but it was very hard for them to break through into the polish musical market. However, they were noticed by Czeslaw Niemen (a kind of a king of polish rock - he became extremely famous in Poland in 60's, when he was performing pop and soul songs. In early 70's he turned to the experimental, progressive music balancing on the edge of rock and jazz. I can heartily recommend his 70's stuff - it is a true progressive and original music). As a result, they joined him in the NIEMEN group, taking part in his artistic explorations and making music, which can be best described as 'impressionistic' and 'aleatoric' . Together they recorded "Requiem dla Van Gogha" [Requiem for Van Gogh] and "Marionetki" [Puppets] - two records with truly unforgettable music. In 1974 they parted with Niemen and begin to play on their own. They shortened the name of the band - leaving just three letters SBB, which they explained as Szukaj, Burz, Buduj [Search, Break & Build]. It was a kind of their musical credo - to search for the new possibilities in music, break the barriers and build the new music. They got very popular - mainly because of their concerts, which were without any parallels in polish rock of 70's - suites with lots of improvisations, incorporating hard jazz-rock 'Mahavishnu or Hendrix - like' pieces as well as more soft 'classical ELP-like' Skrzek's piano entries and masterful Piotrowski's drumming (which can be compared to that of Billy Cobham). They were surrounded by a kind of cult among fans, became a symbol of young generation revolt (Apostolis had at that time probably the longest hair in Poland:-). ------------------------------------------------------------- SHIPPING INFO Note to US Customers: I am shipping from Hawaii.

About the Rankings
Each year, U.S. News & World Report invites as many as 184 hospitals to complete its survey and be considered for ranking. The methodology for the rankings is adjusted each year to reflect best practices in the industry along with differences in pediatric specialty care as compared to adult health care, but typically uses an algorithm that scores data related to:
- Clinical outcomes, such as the ability to prevent complications and infections
- Quality of care and performance improvement projects
- Care-related measures such as nursing, advanced technology, credentialing and education
- Reputation, as established through a combination of opinions and recommendations gathered from pediatric specialists and data collected from a comprehensive survey
