Urban infill is perhaps the most important housing typology an architect can pursue. Not only does it promote density, it repairs decaying communities, creates new neighborhoods, and utilizes existing infrastructure. The specialty is also fraught with time-consuming obstacles—strict zoning laws, height limits, resistant neighborhood groups—that can thwart the noblest of efforts.
Minneapolis-based Elness Swenson Graham knows this all too well. The firm had to negotiate its way through a morass of problems in its quest to gain approval for Midtown Lofts, a 72-unit project featuring 12 attached townhomes. The project is part of a larger effort to transform an industrial site near a vacated railroad corridor south of downtown Minneapolis. "The old railroad corridor is being converted into a bike and pedestrian trail system called the Minneapolis Greenway," says principal David Graham, AIA. "This project is one of the first pieces in that urban design vision."
Before the Midtown could be part of that vision, Graham had problems to resolve. The former industrial site required rezoning for residential use and it needed environmental remediation. Moreover, Graham had to convince homeowners that the new townhomes would be sensitive to the small single-family homes along the northern edge of the site.
Graham's first order of business was to hide the cars, so he designed an underground parking structure to decrease their impact on the neighborhood. "People still like their garages enclosed, so in this regard we can do high-density infill by building the [underground] box for parking." The garage offers entry to central stairwells, to which two units share access.
Graham kept the project's townhomes at two-and-a-half stories to maintain the scale and context of the nearby houses, and he employed architectural subterfuge to give them individuality. He started with traditional elements—chimney, gable, streetscape front porch—and experimented with forms and materials. "Once you establish that [traditional] rhythm and tectonics, you can start to play with contemporary language," he explains, referring to the use of steel and concrete. Stucco exteriors add color, and corrugated metal ties the houses to their industrial pedigree. Despite their urban location, the units have rooftop decks and gardens.
Any project that breaks the mold of its surroundings is bound to encounter opposition, but neighborhood groups were welcoming once the architects explained how the townhomes would ultimately prove to be an asset to the community. Creative design helped, but so did a wise decision to push the south-facing buildings back to create breathing room along the greenway. This concession creates a city-owned and condo-maintained green space along the upper terrace to provide public access to the greenway, Graham explains.
Midtown Lofts is a welcome addition to its neighborhood and sets the bar high for future urban infill projects near the greenway. Decidedly different from the existing homes, the project also nestles comfortably among its neighbors. Graham explains it this way: "It is contemporary in design and spirit but with a traditional sense of rhythm and warmth."
project: Midtown Lofts, Minneapolis
architect: Elness Swenson Graham, Minneapolis
general contractor: Kraus-Anderson Construction, Minneapolis
project size: 1,050 square feet to 1,633 square feet
total units: 72, including 12 townhomes

construction cost: $256 to $285 per square foot
sales price: $419,000 to $459,000

GILBERT, AZ -- Now available from RPG Enterprises is the latest version of the Coin Twister charity wishing well, also known as a coin funnel. It's manufactured as one piece (the funnel and cabinet are a single unit) in a broad spectrum of colors.
Measuring 56" by 56" and standing 29" high, the Coin Twister is formed of high-impact fiberglass that will not fade or corrode. It's fitted with a reinforced, hinged fiberglass door with two locks securing the cashbox. Each attached coin launcher is designed to shoot two coins at once.
The Coin Twister works without any moving parts; and no product is required. Its customer appeal lies in the unexpected behavior of the coins projected into it, which appear to defy gravity.
According to the manufacturer, wishing wells have a track record of successful fundraising that spans more than 20 years; they are said to be ideal for all types of location and for nonprofit events. And they typically do not compete with other types of vending.
"The Coin Twister is a unique way to give back to your community by donating a portion of the proceeds to a local charity," RPG said. The company offers custom signage for the operator's chosen charity.
Information may be requested by calling RPG Enterprises at (602) 510-2670 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: After almost a two year wait, Nadya Suleman finally had her day in court yesterday in her welfare fraud case. Octo-Mom was accused of accepting welfare and Medi-Cal payments in 2012 despite making $30,000 over the maximum to claim such benefits. Because Suleman paid back almost $25,000 in benefits she received, her felony charges were reduced to misdemeanors and she was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and two years of probation. While she is performing those 200 hours of community service the State will be on the hook for paying for someone to watch her kids so it will probably cost the state more than what she paid back. The investigation also cost more than the net benefits she received. I wonder also what kind of financial pressure having to pay back that money put on her. That is a lot of money to come up with when you are trying to raise 12 kids. In 2013 she didn't make over the limit which means she is raising kids on less than $119K a year. I guess another reality show or porn video is in her not too distant future.

Your eligibility for financial aid is determined based on a 9-month academic year Cost of Education budget. Federal regulations stipulate the expense categories used in the budget. Furthermore, regulations restrict the budget to the expenses of the student only. Expenses of other family members can not be included. While we do not expect students to spend exactly what is listed in each category, the total estimated cost should be adequate for the categories shown.
Expenses not listed such as car payments, consumer debt payments, child support payments, alimony, moving expenses, security deposits, and interviewing expenses are the responsibility of the student and cannot be included in the budget. Expenses incurred prior to the beginning of the Fall term or during the summer after the spring term ends are not considered in evaluating your financial aid eligibility, because financial aid relates to the 9-month academic year.
Budget increases can be made for child care expenses incurred so that the parent can attend law school full-time. Other eligible budget increases include unexpected medical or dental expenses not covered by insurance, learning accommodations testing, and the purchase of a computer.

On The Road To A Full Recovery? At ALIS, All Signs Pointed To Yes
Wednesday February 6th, 2013 - 4:59PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Anyone who has attended the last several ALIS (Americas Lodging Investment Summit) events can likely recite the phrase "cautious optimism" in their sleep. That's been the takeaway for the last few years. I'm happy to report that in describing the mood of this year's recently concluded conference, the word cautious can be eliminated altogether. In fact, the mood was borderline euphoric as the majority of executives offered bullish views of 2013 and beyond.
You could look at the attendance of the event, nearly 2,500 delegates—the third highest in the history of ALIS—as a positive indicator. You could cite the multiple forecasts of occupancy and RevPAR growth in the high single digits from the various research firms such as Smith Travel Research, PKF Hospitality Research, etc. You could look at an increase in deal activity both during the conference and in the days leading up to the conference, including several portfolio transactions.
However, the best evidence, in my opinion, that we may finally be on the road to a full recovery comes from my conversations with a number of owner/developers who told me that lenders are starting to call them in search of new opportunities. What's more, generally speaking, the terms seem far more favorable than in recent years and will, ultimately, make deals far easier to pencil out for owners. The fact is nothing has been more emblematic of the industry's stagnation for the last several years as the lack of available financing.
Many would argue—and I would agree—that stagnation was a good thing as it kept supply and demand fundamentals in line and it's precisely those solid fundamentals that have generated the bullish predictions. Nevertheless, sooner or later, whether it's building or buying, new product needs to drive the industry's growth.
However, the industry knows all too well that it doesn't take long for optimism, cautious or not, to morph into skepticism or even fear. We know the importance of emotion and perception in the business world. Nowhere is this more evident than in the stock market where both rallies and freefalls are often the result of the most trivial of news items.
With any luck, the momentum of this conference will be enough to make investors, and all key decision makers for that matter, follow through when it comes time to sign on the dotted line. The fact of the matter is whether it's a fiscal cliff, a presidential election or the economy in Greece, in today's global economy you can always find a reason to maintain status quo and hedge your bets. But playing it safe comes at a price too, and the cost could be the lost opportunity of potentially profitable investments.
I'm sure many of you remember the earlier years of ALIS when it was held at the Hyatt Century Plaza in Los Angeles, and the nearly deafening roar of conversation that could be heard as you entered the lobby of the hotel. Particularly because the hotel hosted the event during many of the peak years for the industry, it was unmistakably the sound of deals getting done. Granted the acoustics at the event's new home, the JW Marriott at LA Live, are not quite the same, but if you listen closely, you can hear that roar coming back.

I took a summer vacation to Alaska. This natural beauty of a state might be our 49th, but it was my 50th. Why all this talk of my summer vacation? Well, Allianz Global Assistance (AGA) just released data earlier this week saying that Americans are spending more on summer vacations this year, topping $100 billion for the first time in the AGA survey's eight-year history. This represents a 12.5% increase over last year.

This Tweak works great - As a note - I use the Micro-Cell in my apartment - I had to go out, and disconnect from the Micor-Cell - in order to activate YouMail - But once off the Micro-Cell -everything worked like a charm
Yeah. It's awesome. I got it the day it came out, because I just happened to be in Cydia and check what had been added. My favorite feature is the smart greetings. You don't even have to upload your contacts to your account for them to work, it recognizes it from the phone. When you miss a call with the default smart greeting, it greets them by name. So cool! Thanks for letting other know about this awesome tweak. I use it for that reason, even though I'm a legit AT&T customer.
I love this app but can someone please tell me why its not greeting my callers with their name or my name. i have changed it on the website but nope nothing ? . and then its not giving me notification whenever i get a new voice mail can somebody please help me out here
I must be missing something!
I've had youmail and visual voicemail on my iPhone with a local carrier for well over a year now. The youmail app has been available in the app store for the past two years, maybe more, along with visual voicemail. So I don't get it, what does this tweak do?
I had this for about a week....do you think its safe to upload my contacts? I'm always afraid to do that.
Fantastic! I've been using HulloMail but this is way better. Thanks!
Like I said, I've had youmail and visual voicemail through youmail on my iphone for well over a year now. I don't know any other way to make it any clearer. The article makes it sound like this is all new and available because of this tweak but it has been available for a long time. I believe the onlt thing the tweak does is to make your voicemail button say "youmail". I just put the number for youmail in my voicemail settings, its worked fine

Alright, so how this will work is simple. I have taken the 26 PSN names which have signed up for this league, new and old. We have 27 currently, thank you JP. Lance aka Willy, aka, Phenox GM, has earned the right to choose first over all. I removed him from the draft. Thus, everyone else is fair game. The rules are simple. We go in order as the list below provides. When it is your turn, you have 24 hours from the persons last post to respond with your selection. In other words, which team you would like to manage and play as in the new Omega 2.0 League, which I will create both the new forum, and NHL 13 League this weekend (once the draft is over). If you do not reply, or give us your team's name within the 24 hours, you are skipped to the next player in the draft line and you are moved to the bottom of the draft. This is the only way to keep it from getting jammed up. Players who currently do not have CDC accounts, this is the time to make one. I will post a notes on the old League board, to inform any players; however, if you are friends with anyone, please let them know they should make a CDC account for they can choose their team. I will lay out the new rules to the league in the new forum this weekend. For now, please choose your teams in your draft order. The only news you need to know is that this league will be set for 5 years. If you're thinking about a rebuild team, that is relevant for you. Other than that, enjoy! P.S. Please start your pick off by telling us what your PSN is so we know what draft pick you are. Just for clarity sake. I will need to keep track of everyone's team for the first post of the new forum. The first overall pick goes to #1 Lance Paul. Please select your team and get this party started.

Big Lots overcame a 2.2% same store sales decline at its U.S. stores to post better than expected second quarter earnings, but indicated full year profits could be below the prior year.
Sales at Big Lot's, the nation's leading closeout retailer with 1,514 stores, increased 0.6% to slightly more than $1.2 billion. Profits from continuing operations adjusted to exclude a one-time charge totaled $17.7 million, or 31 cents a share, better than earlier guidance in the range of 17 cents to 27 cents, but below the prior year's second quarter profit of $22.1 million, or 36 cents a share. The 2.2% decline in same store sales at U.S. stores, was offset somewhat by a solid 8.3% increase at stores in Canada to yield a consolidated figure of negative 1.9% that was slightly better than the company's forecast for a decline in the range of 2% to 4%.
The company indicated that its best performing category was seasonal which had a mid single digit positive comp, followed by the furniture category with strength in mattresses, upholstery and ready-to-assemble products. The food and consumables categories declined during the second quarter and while home, hardlines and toys experienced single digit declines and electronics declined in the low double digits.
Big Lot's president and CEO David Campisi, coming off his first full quarter since joining the company earlier this year, said those he works with have been very candid about what is working and what is not and what the opportunities are going forward.
"Candidly, a lack of 'customer first' mentality has hurt the business," Campisi said during a conference call. "The good news is our core customer still loves us. She brags about us, and we have a better understanding of who she is and how she shops."
Merchandising, marketing and stores are the three areas Campisi said would be subject to his relentless focus and indications are considerable changes lay ahead.
"The differences between major merchandise categories are significant in terms of execution, inconsistent direction and how we market or communicate to our customer," Campisi said. "Regardless of the category, when you walk a store, you will see examples of great value, but you will also see examples of us trying to be everything to everyone. It can be confusing to the customer and quite frankly, makes the business model more complicated than it needs to be."
Going forward, the company will employ an "edit to amplify" merchandising strategy in which categories Big Lots isn't known for are edited while those where the company is winning or is top of mind with core customers are amplified through additional inventory or selling space, according to Campisi.
He also indicated changes are coming to the company's traditional approach to purchasing merchandise.
"Closeouts are an important part of our heritage, but if a closeout is not a meaningful brand or an item or category we are known for, it can be lost with the customer, lost in the store and not a good use of our cash," Campisi said.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer could overtake Isaac Redman for the team's starting role after a solid performance (13 carries for 63 yards). The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette appears to be merely speculating during a game recap, rather than reporting on some inner workings. Redman is still recovering from ankle and hip injuries. F Dale Lolley, a beat writer for the Washington Observer-Reporter also speculated that Redman is at risk of being pushing into a role as a third-down back.
Fantasy Analysis:
While the beat writers are entitled to their opinion and are, of course, very close to the situation, it's still just an opinion. Until someone with the Steelers suggests otherwise, Redman is the back to own but this is obviously a tenuous situation. The separation between Dwyer and Redman is obviously thin to say the least. If you haven't drafted yet, I'd much rather draft Redman in the waning rounds of my draft rather than take a reach for Redman who's going earlier and earlier in drafts.

You are opening a can of worms if you start awarding fights based on video evidence
Where do u draw the line?
What if a foul is spotted after the fight?
Hmmm, tricky one but...I have to say if he did tap, then denied it, but was later proven to have taped on video evidence, then in all fairness to the fighter who was robbed, then I think its only fair its overturned, not sure how much of a can of worms it opens up as how often would it really happen anyway...I'd rather get to the right result later than never. Losing fighter doesnt deserve the loss no more than winning fighter deserved the win on their records (prior to the decision being changed) a NC doesnt really do justice to the fighter who really did win in the first place either..
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I will answer this - in detail later!
And right a few wrongs along the way.
Thank you.
if you think its easy stop now
no one achieved anything by doing nothing
never argue with a fool
if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing
I think it's an excellent decision by the ref. Think I read something about this on twitter.
In response to various heresay :
The word "dodgy" and me do not go together. Ever.
There is NO protocol or rule for this scenario. You will never find a written rule, unified or otherwise, covering this type of scenario. "if scenario X happens then the answer is Y" - it is not in existence anywhere. So everyone guessing on rules being made up or broken can stop.
No contests you will find when foul blows have occurred, failed tests etc - this is not a foul blow or a failed test.
We do not have the luxury of video replay here in the UK. Perhaps we should! Video replay for this exact type of instance has occurred in New Jersey before where a tap was missed and the correct decision was applied after instant replay.
When you have this type of scenario or appeal it is always brought before a commission - but we do not have one so it was brought before me and the promoter.
The video was watched - the tap CLEARLY came under the left buttock of Ventre from his opponent - when I say clearly I mean clear to the camera not my view - it was my blind side as I was watching the free arm, the fighter was twisted to the side and the tap came, disappointingly, out of my view.
I never have and never will stop a fight on the protests of corners or crowds - If I have not seen it I simply cannot call it.
This is not case of a "what if" it is not a "this could have happened" or "this might have happened" there is NO ambiguity here what so ever. No protocols or rules were broken, made up or infringed because there are none.
This fight should have ended the second the fighter submitted and tapped - that is not within question - this is why the decision to give the win to Ventre was rightfully awarded and will stand. It is as conclusive as that.
Do not get this mixed up with the far more dangerous and huge can of worms of re scoring contests after the event etc. This is simply NOT the same. This fight was conclusively over the second the fighter tapped - there is NO question or ambiguity here. The win goes to the right fighter and that is why the correct decision has been made.
I trust that this clears up any question or confusion.
Many thanks.

What Marc said makes sense to me. If a tap is missed by any Referee, then the fight will continue. However if there is evidence to support a tap by video footage, clearly, then I think we should, in the absence of a commission and instant replay be in a position to award the correct result soon thereafter after reviewing the video. If there was no evidence, e.g. the video footage doesn't show it then then there would be no choice but to accept the end result. As Marc says there is currently no protocol or rule for this.
Professional MMA Referee www.mmaofficials.co.uk
I can't say I agree with that reasoning personally but as Marc says, his reputation is beyond reproach and as the most senior referee in this country he is more knowledgable on the subject than anyone else
Wasn't trying to have a go Marc, but on the flip side I'm not like many who won't dare question certain people because of their standing in the game. Too many kiss arses for my liking
If I was Gaz I would still personally be going wild about this as I can't find any record of this ever happening before. But if you say it has then it has and I will follow suit if such occursnces happen in the future

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- The weeklong evidence phase has wrapped up in the sentencing of a northeast Ohio contractor caught in a public corruption investigation.
Prosecutors used the Akron federal court hearing to detail the extent of Michael Forlani's crimes. He pleaded guilty to bribery-related charges involving county government in Cleveland.
The evidence portion of the hearing ended Monday. The sentencing was continued to Feb. 8.
The Forlani sentencing could be one of the final chapters in a five-year FBI probe which led to 60 convictions and 40 people sent to prison.
One bribe target was former Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora. The former county Democratic chairman was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

I could use some expert advice on how best to store Content from my website in my back-end database (i.e. MySQL).
When things started off maybe 18 months ago, the only content that I had was traditional "Articles", e.g. some write-up about a news event, person, or some topic.
The fields in this table include...
- id
- slug
- written_on
- author
- title
- body
- reference_listing
- created_on
- updated_on
Since then, there is a lot of new Content that needs to be added to my website, including things like:
- How-To Guides- Listing of Different Business-Types- Key Contacts for Small-Businesses- Top 20 Venture Capital (VC) Firms- Small-Business Organizations- Famous Entrepreneurs- Listing of Free Resources- Listing of Elected Officials (by State)- Listing of Tax-Free States- Listing of Right-To-Work States
I have absolutely NO CLUE of where to store all of this Content, and if it should even go in my Database?! (Furthermore, I haven't even created the actual content for the above list, so I don't know the exact form it will take!!) :eek:
Technically, nearly all Content on my website could be classified as some form of an "article". (Especially if it isn't just a table or list.)
If this new Content should go into my database, then where??
Do I want to muck up my true Article table with things like "Famous Entrepreneurs" or "Listing of Business-Types"??
Do I create a new "catch-all" table called "other_content"??
Do I create a new table for nearly every new category??
Or, do I "punt", and just hard-code things as HTML/PHP pages and stick them all in some generic directory called "other"??
Definitely a much more involved topic than I had ever anticipated!!!
It seems like your application is starting to become a CMS. If that's what you actually want, then perhaps you could peek under the hood of existing CMSs for ideas, or even straight-up use one of them.
Whether or not you want your application to behave like a CMS depends on how you want to maintain your site. If you're comfortable editing code, then there's nothing wrong with coding HTML/PHP pages. Or if you wish to maintain your site through a web WYSIWYG interface, then you can keep working toward this CMS-type solution. (Though, keep in mind that if you're rolling your own CMS, then you'll still be editing code to maintain that CMS.)
i'd put it into the "body" column of your existing table
even if it's a list, you'll still be storing html, only with ULs and LIs instead of Ps
Well, my "body" column is MediumText - which I believe will hold like 15 pages of Text (??) - so there is certainly room.
But isn't mixing different types of data in one "catch-all" table a bad idea from Database Design and all??
And wouldn't mixing all of my website's content into one table cause other issues like easily finding things, and query performance as well?
Because the other data is disparate as far as I can see at this point, I'm not sure how else to group it. But it does seem like at the very least I should keep traditional Articles in my "article" table, and all other content in some other table...
Care to give me some hints of how the back-end database of most CMSes are organized? (Honestly, I'm not sure I have the time or know how to start looking into CMS solutions or how they are coded...)
And, yeah, I guess I am rolling my own CMS.
I am indifferent. I guess it would be nice to have a web-form you could use to update things.
What is more attractive to me, is having my data centralized, and having greater control on slicing and dicing and rearranging and analyzing my Content. (Things you can't easily do with files, but can easily do with database records...)
i understand your concern but the answer is no, not in this case
not at all
okay, then, if that's how you feel, go ahead and design some additional tables...
... but i sure wouldn't
So, are there any other "gotchas" I should be aware of going down this path of "All Content in One Table"?
Is that how CMS do it?
Short of showing you my ERD - which I know you don't read anyways - are there any tips on how to architect things so my design last a long time?
(What I had worked great until I realized that I will have a fair amount of Content that is not necessarily an "article".)
perhaps the "gotcha" here was in thinking that your content was only articles
We live and we learn...

I know the Sharpie Bandits are so 2009, but I'd like to revisit the topic for a moment after coming across a Sharpie DIY project featured on Instructables.com not too long ago.
Instructables.com offers a How-To on making a "No-Sew LOOT Sack." (This is a pretty cool idea that you could take in several directions, outside of the "loot" theme, it's just up to you as to where you want to take it.) But staying in line with the $$$ theme, reading this How-To reminded me of the infamous "Sharpie Bandits" ..
For those of you who don't remember, here's a recap: October 2009, two male 20-somethings, from Carroll, IA needed to inject a little excitement into their lives. What to do? What to do? …How does that age-old saying go? "When in doubt, Choose Burglary." Ah yes, that's the one.
Long story short, things didn't pan out so well for this dastardly duo. The Carroll Police Dept., responding to a call that two men had attempted to break into a home, stopped a car matching the caller's description to find the two would've been crooks behind the wheel. Here's the catch, these two geniuses voted against your standard ski mask & ladies' stockings and went with a unique disguise option…
They drew all over their faces with black permanent markers!
It's been 9 months and this still baffles me! Tell me, who in their right mind (or wrong, for that matter) would think of this and say, "Yeah……YEAH! This is it, this is genius! What a fail-proof plan" ? And to that point, how is the one guy capable of convincing the other that this is in fact a good idea?
I choose to believe that these "Sharpie bandits" just love Sharpie markers SO much that they cannot even entertain the thought of not incorporating Sharpie into every second of every day. Well boys, if this IS the case, next time, I would advise you to go for the Sharpie DIY LOOT Sack option instead of playing connect the dots on your faces for a number of reasons:
- Sharpie does not promote Sharpie products on skin.
- You could use the sack as a mask.
- Could use it as a good ol' run of the mill loot sack to lug out all those valuables.
- After getting caught (which you obviously you will) you can use the LOOT Sack to shield your face from the blinding flashes of the paparazzi.
WARNING! DO NOT participate in any criminal activity and DO NOT Uncap What's Inside if you're going the Sharpie Bandit route.
DO Uncap What's Inside for constructive, creative, good-for-the-community-and-yourself purposes!

Diane - from Tyrone, PA
To prevent loops from breaking you can try several techniques. First, be sure to roll the fondant out 1/8th of an inch and no smaller; if the loops are too thin they will break more easily. After securing the loops to the center piece, be sure to secure the loops with a damp brush and stand the bow on its side to dry. If the loops are still breaking, you may need to secure the loops with dots of icing and make sure the bow is dry.

Special Report: Los Angeles Archdiocese kept sexual abuse in the shadows
Join Los Angeles News Group City Editor Harrison Sheppard and reporters Susan Abram and Tracy Manzer in a live chat Monday at 11 a.m. to discuss this report.
Amid scrutiny of its neighboring diocese's response to the sexual abuse of children, the Diocese of San Bernardino has been swift to notify authorities of such allegations, a diocese spokesman said.
Others don't see it that way.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, says the leadership of the diocese is still slow to move when it is notified of sexual abuse allegations.
"We have not seen any real strides," said Joelle Casteix, the regional director for SNAP.
Since 2002, the diocese has been following the directions spelled out in the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, which the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued that year, said John Andrews, a spokesman for the diocese.
"The charter provides the general directive" for addressing abuse, he said.
If a sexual-abuse case is brought to the diocese's attention, diocese personnel must report it.
"Our policy is to report it within 24 hours to law enforcement," he said.
The diocese wants to know if someone has established a system in which victims can inform the diocese.
The initial complaint leads to the accused perpetrator be relieved of his or her duties and sets off a series of events that could result in barring the person from ministering in the diocese.
If the diocese's investigation finds the allegations credible, "what we can say is `you will never be in ministry in this diocese,"' Andrews said.
The decision to defrock a member of the clergy is up to the Vatican, he said.
The diocese has gone through its files and notified law enforcement of each case in which church investigations found credible allegations, Andrews said.
Steps to prevent future abuse include training adults, from priest to volunteers, about proper behavior and how to treat children, he said.
Children are also taught what to do if they are abused or witness something improper, Andrews said.
"Ten years ago we were in a position where we didn't do it right, and now we're ready to share information," Andrews said.
But Casteix said the Diocese of San Bernardino and others in Southern California are barely meeting the minimum requirements spelled out in the charter and could do more to protect youths.
In the case of the Rev. Alejandro Castillo, an Ontario priest convicted in 2011 of molesting a child, parents notified the diocese of the priest's behavior, but it failed to act, she said.
When Castillo was released from jail, a large group of parishioners of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Ontario, where he last worked, organized a celebration.
The celebration, however, was attended by children, a violation of his probation.
"Bishop (Gerald) Barnes didn't do anything to stop it," she said.
Diocese officials have said Barnes was not aware the celebration was taking place.
Thomas G. Plante, a professor of psychology at Santa Clara University, has done extensive research into sexual abuse by priests and has treated and evaluated members of the clergy who have committed sexual offenses.
Since 2002, the church has taken many steps to address and prevent sexual abuse, he said. "A lot has been done. Is it perfect? No," he said.
The church must make its bishops accountable, he said.
In Kansas City, a bishop convicted of not reporting an abusive priest remained in his position.
Another issue is that some bishops have refused to support the charter approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops because they dislike the training for children.
"Some bishops say they shouldn't do that because it's like sex education with the kids," Plante said. "There are a few holdouts. That's a problem."
Another issue that needs to be addressed is what to do with priests who have been the subject of credible allegations but who have not admitted wrongdoing or where law enforcement doesn't have enough to pursue criminal charges.
Priests in those situations are removed from ministering, but church leadership has not figured out what to do with them.
"They're in no man's land," Plante said.
Training to prevent abuse must also be studied to determine its effectiveness, Plante said.
"We have to do empirical research to see if it works," he said.
Among the church's problems is that it has not explained what it has done to prevent future sexual abuse.
Among those steps are the church has conducted background checks and thorough psychological screening of those interested in becoming clergy, Plante said.

Hickory, N.C. - The Brevard College Baseball team (4-11, 1-9) fell at Lenoir-Rhyne (9-11, 4-3) 25-7 Saturday afternoon at Bear Field. The Bears scored 15 runs in two innings to erase an early 3-1 Tornado lead.
Matthew Pruitt's two-run home run to left center gave Brevard a 2-1 lead in the second inning. BC added a single run in their half of the third on a Kramer Clark RBI groundout that scored Ben Pacey.
L-R responded with eight runs in six hits in the bottom of the third, as Evan Taylor and Stephen Andrews each had solo home runs and two run-doubles in the frame.
A seven-run Bear fourth inning was punctuated by two-run singles from Rob Knight and Chris LaVenia. L-R posted three runs in each of the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings.
Brevard scored three runs on five hits in the ninth, as Stephen Mullis hit a two-run homer and Brett Brinson doubled to right field to drive in Matt Ennis.
Mullis went three for five in the game with two driven in and a run scored. Pruitt, Kellen Moman, Eric Renegar, and Jackie Corn all had two hits each in the loss.
Jacob White went two and two thirds innings and suffered his fourth loss of the season. L-R's Chris Henderson improved to 3-2 this year with his seven inning effort, in which he allowed nine hits and four runs, all earned, while striking out nine.
The Tornados and Bears conclude the series with a doubleheader at Bear field with first pitch for game one scheduled for 1 p.m.

Codependent No More ... Yet Wanting Back In
July 20, 2017,
Lambert-Eaton syndrome is a disorder in which faulty communication between nerves and muscles leads to muscle weakness.
Myasthenic syndrome; Eaton-Lambert syndrome; Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome; LEMS
Lambert-Eaton syndrome is an autoimmune system. This means your immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells and tissues in the body. In this syndrome, substances produced by the immune system attack nerve cells. This makes nerves cells unable to release enough of a chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical transmits impulses between nerves and muscles.
The result is muscle weakness.
Lambert-Eaton syndrome may occur with cancers such as small cell lung cancer or autoimmune disorders such as vitiligo, which leads to a loss of skin pigment.
Symptoms may include:
Symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system usually occur, and include:
A detailed medical history will be taken to determine risk factors, such as a history of certain cancers.
A physical examination shows:
Tests to help diagnose and confirm the condition may include:
The main goals of treatment are to:
A treatment called plasma exchange usually improves symptoms. Plasma exchange involves removing blood plasma from the body and replacing it with donated plasma. This helps to make sure that any harmful proteins (antibodies) that are interfering with nerve function are removed from the body.
Plasmapheresis may also be effective. During this treatment, the blood is removed from the body. The plasma is separated, the antibodies are removed, and the plasma is returned to the body.
Medications that suppress the immune response, such as prednisone, may improve symptoms in some cases. Medications may also include:
The symptoms of Lambert-Eaton syndrome may improve by treating the underlying disease, suppressing the immune system, or removing the antibodies. However, not everyone responds well to treatment.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of this condition develop.
