Bringing his total of "Saints made" to 18, this morning the Pope presided at the canonization of four new ones in St Peter's Square: two founders of religious communities -- the Italian founder of the Sacred Hearts order Gaetano Errico and the Swiss Franciscan foundress Mary Bernard Bütler -- the Ecuadorean laywoman Narcisa de Jesus Martillo and (in the day's big story) India's first formally-recognized saint: Alphonsa, the 20th century Kerala Clarist whose final miracle involved the 1999 cure of a disabled boy.

GAETANO ERRICO was born on October 19, 1791 in Secondigliano, a small village on the northern boundary of the City of Naples, Italy.

Europe to close world bank, make new rules

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said political leaders are discussing the idea of closing the world's financial markets while they ``rewrite the rules of international finance.''

``The idea of suspending the markets for the time it takes to rewrite the rules is being discussed,'' Berlusconi said today after a Cabinet meeting in Naples, Italy. A solution to the financial crisis ``can't just be for one country, or even just for Europe, but global.''

The Bretton Woods Agreements were adopted to rebuild the international economic system after World War II in a hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The aim of the agreements was to establish a monetary management system, initially by pegging currencies to gold. The IMF was set up later to help manage the international financial system.

Berlusconi didn't give any details about what kind of rules leaders were looking to change, except to say that leaders are ``talking about a new Bretton Woods.''

Italian Woman in Right-to-Die Case Worsens

The condition of an Italian woman at the center of a right-to-die case worsened after she suffered a massive hemorrhage, doctors said Saturday.

Eluana Englaro has been in a vegetative state for 16 years and her father has led a protracted court battle to disconnect her feeding tube, insisting it was her wish.

This summer a Milan court granted his request, setting off a political storm in this overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country. Italy does not allow euthanasia, but patients have a right to refuse treatment.

Catholic and anti-euthanasia groups protested the ruling by leaving bottles of water in front of Milan's Duomo cathedral. Prosecutors appealed the decision and the father pledged not to disconnect the tube before Italy's high court weighed in.

Englaro was 20 years old when she fell into a vegetative state following a car accident in 1992. Two years later, doctors called her condition irreversible.

Ancient Peru pyramid spotted by satellite

New remote-sensing technology reveals huge structure beneath surface

In this satellite image, the white arrows show the buried pyramid and the black arrows other structures which have yet to be investigated.

By Rossella Lorenzi

updated 1:33 a.m. ET, Mon., Oct. 6, 2008

A new remote sensing technology has peeled away layers of mud and rock near Peru's Cahuachi desert to reveal an ancient adobe pyramid, Italian researchers announced on Friday at a satellite imagery conference in Rome.

Nicola Masini and Rosa Lasaponara of Italy's National Research Council (CNR) discovered the pyramid by analyzing images from the satellite Quickbird, which they used to penetrate the Peruvian soil.

The researchers investigated a test area along the river Nazca. Covered by plants and grass, it was about a mile away from Cahuachi's archaeological site, which contains the remains of what is believed to be the world's biggest mud city.

World finance chiefs heading for Washington for crunch talks

World finance chiefs heading for Washington for crunch talks

The Group of Seven meeting will bring together finance ministers and central bankers on Friday from the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Britain, Italy and Canada for some collective-thinking on the credit crunch and crashing stocks.

They are to be joined by counterparts from emerging markets including Brazil, Russia, India and China for an impromptu gathering of the expanded so-called G20 group.

The United States finds itself in a rare position of weakness, facing many allies that have been highly critical of its economic policy and regulatory system blamed for the problems.

The gathering will be closely watched by investors, who are eager to see solutions and cross-border action by the world's leading powers to help a return to normal lending practices and calm stock markets.

Brits, U.S. Inject Capital. Save Banks. Start Socialism.

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:21:44 GMT

clipper's remarks: Following the lead of the Aussie's (not mentioned in article), The British government this morning pledged to "injected capital," -- hundred of billions of pounds -- to rescue its banking system.

U.S. Treasury Secretary says he has "broad powers," to do the same.

I think this is a good idea. It sure is a better idea than buying stinking unsecured debt that may never be repaid, that is if I understand the term "injecting capital," correctly (which I think I do but it would help if these guys spoke English).

Why have they come up with what sounds like, at least, a reasonable plan?

I don't know...maybe it's the intense scrutiny they are under...i.e., "oversight," actually helps.

Of course there is some irony in this due to the fact that government buying ownership (buying stocks) in private companies is a cornerstone idea of socialism.

And this idea comes from the ultimate capitalist who oppose government intervention in any way.

I find this very interesting.

Treasury says has power to inject bank capital

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said on Wednesday a recently approved financial bailout bill gives him wide authority to inject capital into the banking system and would not rule out having Treasury take an ownership position in banks if necessary.

Paulson calls for global action

(02:05) Report

Oct 8 - As Treasury Secretary Paulson prepares to host the G7, he is calling for intensified global cooperation to stabilize financial markets.

Paulson recited the numerous measures that members of the G7 -- the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan -- and others have taken to try to halt plunging stock prices and rebuild confidence, but said more was needed.

New fungi species unearthed in UK

clipper's remarks: Another report suggests it is a mutation of the "toe jam" breeding on unclean, new age soccer players. These new age soccer players regularly leave their socks outside at night and the spore from the mutated has spread and adapted to local demands.

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

Several species of fungi new to the UK have been unearthed by mushroom experts at the National Trust's Clumber Park.

Mushrooms are a popular addition to many kinds of dishes

Conservationists say the wet summer means some species of fungi have thrived this year.

And the recent warmer winters means there could be even more exotic mushrooms to be found in this country.

Experts say it is likely these new discoveries have always been at the Nottinghamshire park, but that they flourished in the extremely wet August.

Mushroom spores can also travel great distances on the air and in water.

One of the new species to be identified has the Latin name of Tuber mesentericum, which is also known as the Bagnoli truffle.

This is prized in Italy for its intense flavour.

However, another new discovery is from a family of fungi commonly known as pinkgills, some of which can be very poisonous.

clipper's remarks: The travel Italy guide provides useful information about Italy hotels and accommodation, expecially selected for travel across Italy art cities. A place of olive oil, pasta, wine, mafia and sunshine, roman ruins and renaissance palaces, Italy has a lot to give its tourists. Although some of these conceptions are amazing and interesting, it would be a shame if that was the only thing you come away with. Italy is certainly much more complex and stimulating than these concepts.
