Declaring someone a saint is a process that takes years. But what's actually involved?
Each canonization includes a long process that's divided in several phases. The first one is carried out by the local diocese of the candidate.
"This includes writing and gathering the testimonies of those who directly knew the person. So documents, letters and declarations that shed light on the candidate's grace."
The information is then sent to the Vatican, where it's reviewed by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. If approved, the candidate is declared a Servant of God.
The next step is analyzing whether the candidate manifested heroic virtues that reflect the Gospel. If so, the person is recognized as 'Venerable.'
Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints
"When someone is declared as having heroic virtues, it's based on the way he or she lived. For example, those who leave everything behind to head out on mission. This is obvious heroism."
The next step is being declared a Blessed. For that to happen a miracle needs to be attributed to the candidate. It's a process that involves scientists, doctors and theologians. All of whom will look into the validity of the miracle.
Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints
"One miracle is needed for the beatification to happen. Yet another for the canonization. This last miracle needs to happen after the beatification ceremony. Unless the person is a martyrin that case a miracle is not necessary."
When that happens, on behalf of the Pope, a prefect from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints can celebrate the beatification ceremony, in a location that's relevant to candidate's life. From that point on the Blessed can be venerated.
So the last stage is to prove that a second miracle took place after the beatification ceremony. If that is approved, then the candidate can be declared a saint.
Finally, the entire process comes to a close with a canonization ceremony in St. Peter's Square, where the candidate is declared a Saint of the Catholic Church.

Sources: Bob DuPuy 'on his way out'
There is change in the air in one of the highest offices in Major League Baseball.
Bob DuPuy, who essentially has served as the No. 2-ranked executive in MLB for the past eight years as president and chief operating officer, is expected to move out of his current role, according to three high-ranking executives within baseball.
The timing of the forthcoming change is not yet clear.
"He's on his way out," a team official said.
DuPuy, who turns 63 this year, has been a longtime ally of commissioner Bud Selig, and in recent years has been at the forefront of franchise and ballpark efforts for the Washington Nationals and the Florida Marlins.
But baseball executives who know both men say that Selig and DuPuy are not as close as they once were.
DuPuy did not respond to a request for comment.
DuPuy had been seen by some within baseball as a possible successor to Selig, who was the acting commissioner from 1992 to 1998. Owners voted to make him the permanent commissioner in 1998.
Selig's contract is set to expire in two years, and although Selig has indicated he intends to retire at that time, some team executives believe he may continue serving as commissioner beyond his current contract.

Yeltsin's heated rhetoric raises stakes over former Yugoslavia
WAR IN BOSNIA Moscow is on a collision course with Washington, writes Michael Sheridan
Wednesday 13 September 1995
Talk of "genocide" and similar language is normally the preserve of Russian nationalists, who treasure the ties that link Serbs to Russia by their common Orthodox Christianity and generations of pan-Slav enthusiasm.
After successive Balkan conflicts from 1912 to 1945, Churchill and Stalin drew up an agreement to divide their influence 50-50 in Yugoslavia, an ambiguity which allowed Tito to run a non-aligned Communist state more liberal in character than the Eastern European satellites.
The outbreak of war in 1991 when Yugoslavia broke up has threatened to disrupt this balance. After the Nato air strikes and a violent upturn in Russian rhetoric, the disruption now threatens to turn dangerous. The risk is that Moscow and Washington may find themselves ranged on opposing sides of the Yugoslav war, trapping European powers in the middle and perhaps destroying the network of security agreements, such as Nato's Partnership for Peace put in place since the end of the Cold War.
Consider the following. On Tuesday last week Andrei Kozyrev, Russia's liberal Foreign Minister, welcomed Malcolm Rifkind, the Foreign Secretary, to Moscow. So cordial were their talks that Mr Rifkind shared with Mr Kozyrev overnight intelligence reports from Sarajevo on the deployment of Bosnian Serb artillery. Mr Kozyrev, speaking to the cameras, deplored the Nato air strikes and said "we can only hope and we require that the campaign should end". The combination of the public, reproving Kozyrev and the private, understanding Kozyrev, seemed to Mr Rifkind a reassuring continuation of the characteristic Russian posture throughout the Bosnian crisis.
But a more ominous note was sounded when the Russian Prime Minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, cancelled a planned meeting with Mr Rifkind on the flimsy pretext that he was campaigning in Kursk. Then, last Friday, President Boris Yeltsin weighed in with a strong attack on Nato, saying its use of force in Yugoslavia exemplified the threat to Russian interests posed by Nato's planned expansion to the east. Mr Yeltsin warned of "a conflagration of war throughout all of Europe" if that should come to pass.
This could be Mr Yeltsin's response to the government's electoral problems. If Western policymakers wanted proof of the inherent dangers posed by Russian domestic upheaval they need have looked no further than the rowdy proceedings in the Duma over the weekend.
Admittedly, most liberal politicians in the 450-member Duma boycotted the session, leaving a rump of 260. None the less, those deputies present voted by 258 to two to approve a non-binding resolution which called on Mr Yeltsin to suspend Russia's Partnership for Peace agreement with Nato and demanded that Russia unilaterally lift sanctions on Serbia. Mr Kozyrev was singled out for derision and christened "the minister of national disgrace" by Gennadi Zyuganov, the Communist Party leader.
In London, officials were downplaying the significance of Russian rhetoric yesterday, noting that Moscow was still part of the diplomatic effort to end the Yugoslav conflict. "Although the words have changed I don't think our analysis of the problem has changed fundamentally," a British official said.
Mr Kozyrev and senior Russian officials privately warn that the problem with the Bosnia issue lies in the way it can serve to highlight Russia's humiliation as a former superpower and Mr Yeltsin's economic and security dependence on the West.
The danger of a Russian-American stand-off in the Balkans is well understood - the Washington Post editorialised this week that "nobody in Washington should want a fight with Moscow on what is to both, finally, a symbolic issue". That is why President Bill Clinton has dispatched his Deputy Secretary of State, Strobe Talbott, to Moscow, on a mission to tell the Russians that much more than the fate of Bosnia is at stake in this argument.

The apparition in the form of a cross found in a California pine tree trunk is displayed in the administration office at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Lafayette, Calif. The cross is seen only in one side of the slice, which was found within the bark of one of the removed branch segments by a tree cutting crew on Tuesday. Visitors are mesmerized when they see it, some touch it, pray and make the sign of the cross in front of it. The office is waiting for a response from the Oakland Diocese to find out what to do about it.

I needed a pettiskirt, aka crinoline, to wear with some of my circle skirts, so instead of having to shell out the ridiculous amount of money for one I decided to make my own! I did some research for pettiskirt tuts and found that the best one comes from Sugardale she does a fabulous job of explaining this and helps with the math too! For mine, though, I did tweak it to fit what I was looking for. At my blog Takin' It One Stitch At A Time you can find more infon on how I created mine, and also see pics of my circle skirts with and without the pettiskirt.

Cameron 'deserves credit' for EU stance
Related Articles
Published: 04 November 2012
A Cabinet minister issued a plea for Tory Eurosceptics to give David Cameron a chance today in the wake of last week's humiliating rebellion.
Iain Duncan Smith insisted the Prime Minister deserved "credit" for his tough stance on the EU budget and repatriating powers.
He also confirmed that Mr Cameron would pledge a referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU - saying it was just a matter of "when and on what".
More than 50 Tory backbenchers helped inflict a damaging parliamentary defeat on Mr Cameron last week by demanding a real-terms cut in the seven-year Brussels funding package.
Rebel ringleader Mark Reckless has claimed that at least one member of the Cabinet toyed with resigning to join the mutiny.
But interviewed on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Duncan Smith said achieving an inflation-only rise - around 2% - at a crunch EU summit later this month would be a good result.
The noted Eurosceptic said: "We are here right now trying to restrict the amount of money that goes to the European budget.
"I think he (Mr Cameron) would love to come back with a real-terms cut, I would love him to do it.
"But I just honestly feel that sometimes we do not give enough credit to him - the first man to veto a European treaty.
"He has told us he will veto something that he cannot bring back to the British Parliament.
"These are strong words compared to the last government, and even governments before when we saw budgets rise under the last government, we saw them lose half our rebate.
"The Prime Minister has been quite tough and quite strong on this."
Mr Duncan Smith pointed to his own rebellious history as one of the thorns in John Major's side over Maastricht in the 1990s.
"I simply say that sometimes the things to rebel on are often not just about having a go at the Prime Minister, but also about Europe," he said.
"This one is really about saying the Prime Minister is on our side, he wants to get the best deal. If he can get that freeze that would be a pretty significant start, so I would be satisfied."
Asked whether Mr Cameron would be bringing forward proposals for a referendum, Mr Duncan Smith pointed out that the premier was due to make a key speech on Europe in the coming weeks.
"The Prime Minister has said he is not against a referendum. It is just a matter of when and on what. We are looking at that at the moment," he said.
The Work and Pensions Secretary refused to state whether he personally wanted to see Britain leave the EU.
However, he insisted the country could thrive inside or outside the grouping.
"I am an optimist on the UK," he said. "We are a member of the EU, that gives us benefits but we have to figure out where that is going.
"But in the world we are a global trader already. We are more of a global trader than any other country in Europe.
"I hate this argument that says, little Britain outside, or Britain as part of a wider Europe.
"We can both be within our trading relationship in Europe or we can also be a fantastic global trader.
"We do more trade, we invest more in the US than any other country in the world, we trade more with many of those other countries."

US regulator warns Black Elk Energy on safety after rig fire
HOUSTON Nov 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) on Wednesday told Black Elk Energy that it must take immediate steps to improve safety at its offshore platforms after last week's deadly rig explosion off the Louisiana coast, which killed one worker and left another missing.
"Black Elk has repeatedly failed to operate in a manner that is consistent with federal regulations," BSEE Director James Watson said in a statement. Houston-based Black Elk must submit a performance improvement plan to the BSEE by Dec. 15, the offshore regulator said. Black Elk had no immediate comment.

wonderful and fine creation, thanks, all beauties are in God. God is most beautiful. (Report) Reply
Dr John Celes
Beauty is to whom?
The beauty of the roots is the trunk
The beauty of the trunk is its branches
The beauty of the branches is its leaves
The beauty of the leaves is its buds and flowers
The beauty of the flowers is its fruits and seeds.
The beauty of the soil lies in its trees and plants
The beauty of the air lies in its vegetation
The beauty of the land lies in its people, flora, fauna and landscape
The beauty of the home lies in its family members.
The beauty of the cities and towns is its families
The beauty of the nation is its patriotic citizens
The beauty of the world is in love, peace and brotherhood of nations
The beauty of the Universe is God, its only Master and Creator

More than ever, the professional sports world focuses on personality to help sell their products. In the hockey business, that's been tougher to do thanks to a culture that discourages individualism in the name of team success. But the NHL still has a number of vibrant personas who'll be worth keeping an eye (and an ear) on in 2014-15. Here are the top 10 hockey personalities this season:
10. Mike Cammalleri, New Jersey Devils. The veteran winger has filled notepads and digital recorders all across North America because he's an intelligent guy with a healthy sense of humor and good head on his shoulders, and he understands that having opinions and showing the public he's more than a hockey automaton won't affect his on-ice performance. Here he is on the Canadian TV comedy series "Mr. D.":
Cammalleri deserves kudos for putting himself out there. That said, let's have a moment of silence for that charm now that he's signed on with the Devils, who are the Bermuda Triangle of personality.
9. Jaromir Jagr, Devils. Yes, I also can't believe two Devils are on this list. But Jagr is still one of the game's great characters. He's capable of going off on a hilarious tangent at any point, but he can also speak with tremendous insight about the game and his experience playing it:
Soon enough, the 43-year-old will be retired and back in his native Czech Republic. Enjoy him while you can. Read more

South Africa 540 India 82-0: Amla hits 159 to turn heat on India
Friday 28 March 2008
Hashim Amla was elated after scoring his first overseas century for South Africa in the first Test against India here in Chennai yesterday.
Amla's 159 led the visitors to 540 all out before India reached 82 without loss by the close of the second day. The No 3 batsman handled the home spinners and the heat for almost seven hours to register his fourth Test century.
"It was a good wicket to bat on," Amla said, "but they were the hottest conditions I've ever batted in. That was the most difficult challenge. It is always special to score a hundred in the sub-continent, it gives you a lot of confidence. It is a special moment because it came away from home."
Amla, who hit his maiden Test hundred against New Zealand in 2006 in his fourth match and went 23 innings without another, was eventually run out after a mix-up with Mark Boucher, who made 70. Amla, 24, said the innings was second only to his career-best 176 not out against New Zealand in last year's home series when he scored tons in two successive Tests.
"I will rate it up there, maybe No 2," Amla said. "The 176 was special because it was a trying time, my career depended on it."

Azerbaijan's current account surplus can hit $17 billion
11 October 2012 [16:54] -
Azerbaijan forecasts the current account surplus of the balance of payments will stand at $16-17 billion by late 2012, chairman of the Azerbaijani Central Bank Elman Rustamov said at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The meeting was dedicated to the results of the country's socio-economic development in the first nine months of 2012 and its further challenges.
According to the CBA, the current account surplus of payment balance amounted to $8.2 billion in the first half of 2012, whilst in 2011 it was $17.1 billion.
"Azerbaijan's economy demonstrates its stability and development in the first nine months of 2012," he said. "During the reporting period, the non-oil sector of the economy increased by more than 10 per cent. During the last four years, the share of the non-oil sector in the GDP increased by five percentage points."
He said Azerbaijan has strengthened its position in the group of countries with its average income. "GDP per capita exceeds $10, 000," he said. "Azerbaijan leaves 100 world countries behind on this index."
The processes reflect the diversification in the structure of trade and balance of payments is evident.
"The volume of exports exceeds imports three fold," he said. "Exports of non-oil goods and services in 2012 are expected to reach $5 billion which exceeds the figure of 2008 two fold. Export of services also increases. It hits 60 per cent of the country's non-oil exports today."

Toro CEO Hoffman's compensation falls in '09
Send this to a friend
The Toro Co. CEO, Chairman and President Michael Hoffman receive $2.08 million in total compensation last year, down from $2.85 million in 2008, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Bloomington-based Toro (NYSE: TTC), which makes lawn mowers and other outdoor maintenance equipment, paid Hoffman a salary of $766,665, down from $825,110 in 2008.
Hoffman's compensation in other categories also declined. Stock-award compensation slipped to $297,942, down from $404,016 in the prior year. Options-awards compensation fell to $873,242, down from nearly $1.05 million in 2008.
Hoffman also didn't receive non-equity incentive plan pay in 2009. In 2008, he received $381,531 in such compensation, which is tied to a company's performance.
Hoffman's compensation in the "all other" category fell to $139,621, down from $195,214 in the prior year. The all-other category includes perks such as financial-planning services and benefits-plan contributions.
Measuring compensation
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal's methodology uses the total figures found in the proxy's Summary Table, because they represent the accounting charge — the impact on earnings — for that fiscal year.
Others, including the Associated Press, use the Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table to crunch numbers that best represent what the board of directors had in mind when it granted stock to the executive during the year. Still others wait until stock vests and executives exercise options before recognizing these types of gains.

Tina Dico, Union Chapel, London
Tuesday 16 December 2008
Tina Dico likes to read Dostoevski in her local Ladbroke Grove launderette, part of her long-term escape from being one of her native Denmark's most fêted stars. She moved to London, "the city of distance", in 2001, and apart from the Danish expats scattered through this church tonight, or those who know her from spells with Zero 7, she has found the lonely anonymity she craves.
Flanked by long-term collaborator Dennis Ahlgren, with his black glitter guitar, and high-voiced Icelander Helgi Jonsson, Dico's willowy blonde good looks are neutralised by a studious demeanour. The 30-year-old has been capable of big pop moments on her previous four albums. But she chose her dad's Dylan and Cohen records over Duran Duran as a child. Her new triple-EP release "A Beginning a Detour an Opening" is a spare tribute to such bedsit staples of romantic dissection.
She leans in conversationally for the pay-off of "He Doesn't Know", one of several songs gnarled in love's selfish, absurd, helpless turns. As she admits in "An Open Ending", "There's no answer as big as the question", and she is better at doubt than sometimes clichéd conclusions. Though she is immune to the English obsession with double entendres as she introduces "Stains", she can be pitilessly visceral, too, about a one-night stand. "Friend in a Bar", meanwhile, is a tough story of a girl harrowed by romantic obsession. Playing like late-night country reset to a Copenhagen wine bar, the music cuts out as dramatically as Dico's character, who begs: "Please don't let me catch the cruel disease she has!"
Dico's trio do justice to odd counter-melodies, dragging interestingly against her voice's thrust. Several songs have jazzy codas - such as "Glow"'s studied, stilted synths, matching its clumsy but unclichéd metaphor for traumatic emotional baggage as "radioactive". You forgive that for its simpler, truer line: "You were given nothing all your life and it's a lot to carry". The adolescent commitment to keep reading Dostoevski and anonymously studying people ends in lyrics like that. It also leaves Dico a reserved performer. But the second of two sets sees her loosen a little, becoming the tough, confident girl itching to step into the urban night in "Keep Driving".
She finishes alone and acoustic, like her childhood heroes. But earlier, "Some Other Day" vividly imagines hearing "a bomb nearby tonight". It is about avoiding commitment in a world demanding it; a song where Dico's earnestness is earned.

I would like to populate partitions depend on its content. During system boot I would like to check if the flash area contain any data. If true - make it visible read-only, or rewritable.
I would like to make it automatically, without U-boot shell...
On Linux kernel level I can make it only statically in partition table. Is it possible to do it in U-boot ?
Thank you for any hints.
Update: CmdLine and mtd_partition checked
I've checked two possibilities: U-boot mtd-parts
setenv mtdparts mtdparts=atmel_nand:2M@0x40000(u-boot),30M@0x200000(kernel),-@0x2000000(user),**0x20000@0x100000(u)**
no partitions allowed after a fill-up partition
Unfortunately its not possible to add partition at the and of table. I would like to have mtd4 as separate partition if the data exist in
0x100000 area.
It is possible in kernel mtd_partition table. But this table is declared in arch/arm... board file (early startup stage). On this startup stage I can not read nand. I don't have access to nand read interface provided by nand driver.
Update: solution
Thank you for all hints. Following "artless noise" hints I decided to read nand area in u-boot, and send useful parameters via different kernel command line arguments. This is very flexible. Some other HW configurations can be stored in flash and used for kernel initialization.
Catching kernel parameters can be done via:
early_param() function.

Short Cuts
St. Zita was born into a poor but holy Christian family. Her older sister became a Cistercian nun and her uncle Graziano was a hermit whom the local people regarded as a saint. Zita herself always tried to do God's will obediently whenever it was pointed out to her by her mother. At the age of twelve Zita became a housekeeper in the house of a rich weaver in Lucca, Italy, eight miles from her home at Monte Sagrati. As things turned out, she stayed with that family for the last forty-eight years of her life. She found time every day to attend Mass and to recite many prayers, as well as to carry out her household duties so perfectly that the other servants were jealous of her. Indeed, her work was part of her religion! She use to say: "a servant is not holy if she is not busy; lazy people of our position is fake holiness." At first, her employers were upset by her generous gifts of food to the poor, but in time, they were completely won over by her patience and goodness and she became a very close friend. St. Zita was given a free reign over her working schedule and busied herself with visits to the sick and those in prison. Word spread rapidly in Lucca of her good deeds and the heavenly visions that appeared to her. She was sought out by the important people, and at her death in 1278 the people acclaimed her as a saint. She is the patroness of domestic workers. Her feast day is April 27.

William Gheen, head of Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC), is accusing Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of supporting immigration reform for shady reasons — claiming that Democrats are threatening to reveal Graham's secret "homosexual lifestyle." (Graham has long said he's not gay.) Gheen called on Graham to "come out of the closet inside that log cabin so the public can rest assured he is not being manipulated...." Has Sen. Graham been slimed? (Watch William Gheen make his accusation at a Tea Party Tax Day event)
This will damage ALIPAC more than Graham: Gheen's argument is "so bizarre I have trouble seeing how Gheen could believe it himself," says Gabriel Arana in The American Prospect. If anyone's manipulating Graham, it's ALIPAC, with this "desperate" ploy to "discredit the senator among his conservative constituents." It's "sure to backfire."
"Graham's deep, dark secret: He likes immigration reform"
This is an attack on Tea Partiers, not Graham: Liberals don't really care if this harms Graham, says Donald Douglas in American Power. "Leftists" have long spread rumors about his sexual orientation. Their only goal in standing up for Graham now is "delegitimizing" the Tea Party by suggesting it's full of bigoted loons.
"Steve Benen concern trollery on Lindsey Graham sexual orientation"
Republicans have the most to lose: Forget the Left — conservatives shouldn't be associating with "a piece of trash," like Gheen, says Dan Riehl in Riehl World View. "I detest Lindsey Graham's political positions on several issues," but this "headline-grabbing piece of human garbage," will only hurt the GOP's cause if it doesn't repudiate him.
"William Gheen is human garbage we and Lindsey Graham should ignore"
The debate will only get uglier: Sadly, any "Republicans unwilling to tow the hard right line" on immigration can expect similar "nonsense" from Gheen and his allies, says Glynnis MacNichol at Mediaite. "If immigration does become this summer's national conversation," Graham and anyone else who backs "measured" immigration reform is in for a heap of abuse.
