Spain, Portugal hit with anti-austerity protests
MADRID (AP) ? Tens of thousands of Spaniards and Portuguese rallied in the streets of their countries' capitals Saturday to protest enduring deep economic pain from austerity cuts.
In Madrid, demonstrators approached parliament for the third time this week to vent their anger against tax hikes, government spending cuts and the highest unemployment rate among the 17 nations that use the euro currency.
The boisterous crowds in the Spanish capital let off ear-splitting whistles near parliament and yelled "Fire them, fire them!" ? referring to the conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
On Friday, Rajoy's administration presented a 2013 draft budget that will cut overall spending by ?40 billion ($51.7 billion), freezing the salaries of public workers, cutting spending for unemployment benefits and even reducing spending for Spain's royal family next year by 4 percent.
Pablo Rodriguez, a 24-year-old student doing a master's in agricultural development in Denmark, said the austerity measures and bad economy mean most of his friends in Spain are unemployed or doing work they didn't train for.
He doubts he will put his education to use in Spain until he is 35 or 40, if ever, will probably get job abroad and stay.
"I would love to work here, but there is nothing for me here," Rodriguez said. "By the time the economy improves it will be too late. I will be settled somewhere else with a family. One of the disasters in Spain is they spent so much to educate me and so many others and they will lose us."
In Lisbon, retired banker Antonio Trinidade said the budget cuts Portugal is locked into in return for the nation's ?78 billion ($101 billion) bailout are making the country's economy the worst he has seen in his lifetime. His pension has been cut, and he said countless young Portuguese are increasingly heading abroad because they can't make a living at home.
"The government and the troika controlling what we do because of the bailout just want to cut more and more and rob from us," Trinidade said, referring to the troika of creditors ?the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. "The young don't have any future, and the country is on the edge of an abyss. I'm getting toward the end of my life, but these people in their 20s or 30s don't have jobs, or a future."
In Spain, Rajoy has an absolute majority and has pushed through waves of austerity measures over the last nine months ? trying to prevent Spain from being forced into the same kind of bailouts taken by Portugal, Ireland and Greece.
The protests near Spain's parliament turned violent Tuesday and Wednesday nights when protesters clashed with riot police, who barricaded entry to the streets surrounding government buildings. Dozens of people were arrested and injured.
Investors worried about Spain's economic viability have forced up the interest rate they are willing to pay to buy Spanish bonds. The country's banks hurting from a property boom that went bust are set to get help soon from a ?100 billion ($129 billion) financial lifeline from the eurozone, and Rajoy is pondering whether to ask for help from the ECB to buy Spanish bonds.
Finance Minister Cristobal Montoro said Saturday that the budget cuts for next year were necessary to ease market tensions and try to bring down high interest rates Spain must pay to get investors to buy its bonds.

DOE Study Shows Technology Improves Student Performance
Before this summer, middle school teachers who wanted their students to use computers had to reserve one of the school?s desktop computer labs.? With 45 teachers and only two labs, getting a space often required six weeks? lead time, wreaking havoc on curriculum planning and making it a challenge to integrate computers into classroom teaching.
But no longer.? This summer, thanks to designated donations from two Mill Valley families and a matching grant from the Macquarie Group Foundation, Kiddo! was able to provide $75,000 to MVMS for the purchase of four iPad carts with 30 iPads each, plus software and staff training. ?Now each of the three academic ?pods? at the school has a dedicated iPad cart, shared by only 6-7 teachers, and the library has its own iPad cart reserved for research projects.
In addition, once the desktop labs were no longer needed, the school was able to clear out the lab space and distribute the desktop computers to smaller labs within each pod for use on a project basis. This has not only freed up much-needed space for the growing middle school population, but has also created, through the combination of iPads and smaller computer labs closer to classrooms, a nimbler and more flexible technology platform.? In other words, it?s now much easier for teachers to use computers in their daily lessons.
And that?s important.? A recent study by the United States Department of Education documented the numerous benefits that students derive from the use of computers in school.? Most significantly, it found that students with greater amounts of computer access became more motivated and self-confident learners.? The study found that when students are using technology, ?they are in an active role rather than the passive role of recipient of information transmitted by teacher, textbook or broadcast,? and they are able to handle more complex assignments in which they define their own goals, make decisions, and evaluate their progress.? Technology also provides students with opportunities to excel across a broader range of challenges and tasks than those offered in traditional settings, which primarily stress verbal knowledge and multiple choice test performance.
Middle school principal Anna Lazzarini sums it up this way: ?Technology is no longer a bells and whistles item in education.? There are so many ways to use technology to deepen learning, to create hands-on experiences for students, to engage them, and to provide instruction that fits the needs of students in every area of study.?? In the technology-driven world our children must navigate, she adds, it?s critical to ?teach students how to use technology in appropriate ways.?
Middle school teachers are loving it, too.? Each iPad comes pre-loaded with features such as Pages, Keynote, iMovie, and iPhoto that already have proven to be valuable teaching tools.? But individual teachers can also buy apps pertinent to their subject area.? Cari Pompanin, who teaches sixth grade language arts and social studies, can?t wait to use Google Earth to help her students ?literally walk the Earth.?? She?s also planning to use Virtual Roma, which can take students not just to present-day Rome but to Rome at any period in its history.? ?Just think,? she says, ?we can travel to ancient Rome right from our desks!?
Our students deserve the best education we can give them, so that they can realize their full potential and meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.? Improving their access to technology and computers in the classroom is an important piece of that puzzle.? Kiddo! is deeply grateful to all those in our community whose donations and support make that possible.

Who Wants To Eat Jellyfish Omelets? Dolphin Meatballs? Mouse-On-Toast? These Guys
Foodwise, we live in choosy times, mostly choosing "no thank you."
More and more of us choose not to eat meat or fish or eggs or fatty foods. We don't want anything too sugary, too fried, too raw, too strange. We tiptoe through the grocery as if it's a danger zone, hoping not to be tempted by a glazed doughnut.
That's the fashion, and I suppose it's a healthy one. Which is why you should know about two men who went wildly, dramatically, the other way. They tried to eat everything, no matter how improbable, how nasty ... well, almost everything. One lived in Rome, the other in Britain. Let's start with the Roman.
The Contender: Marcus Gavius Apicius
Marcus Gavius Apicius had a big house, a big kitchen and a sense of culinary adventure like no one else in first century Rome. He ate dangerously, creating meals so exotic, so daring, years later his recipes (or imagined versions of them) were collected in a cookbook named after him. I found some of his dishes in Patrick Faas' 2005 Around the Roman Table. What did Apicius like?
How about dolphin meatballs? Boiled parrot? Jellyfish omelets? Sows' wombs in brine? Or maybe a little stuffed mouse?
If he'd never tasted it, he wanted to. If no one else could afford it, he could. He was very rich and his options were boundless.
The Most Outrageous Ancient Dish
He is said to have created (though no one can prove this) the single most outrageous dish of ancient times, hugely popular in the first century, especially in Rome, probably for its insane expensiveness. I'm talking about Lark Tongue Pie.
A lark, you may know, is a small brown and white bird that rises early and sings just as the sun comes up. It weighs about 2 ounces and has, I presume, a very small tongue, so it's daunting to imagine how one would find enough tongues to make into a meat pie. When I Googled for a recipe, I found this response in a discussion group:
...if you show up at my door with a bucket of lark's tongues I'd probably improvise something. (Actually, I'd probably call the police.)
But not Apicius. He wanted the attention these over-the-top meals could bring. He was such a generous host that Roman statesman Seneca says Apicius burned through his 100 million sestertii fortune until he was down to a mere 10 million. When he realized he would one day have to retrench and eat modestly, he threw one last banquet and then poisoned himself.
That's the danger of any addiction. It can make you mad. But not if you're a little bit wacky in the first place. Which brings me to my other, and in this case I'd have to call him my All Time Champion Eater, a man who lived to be 80-something and systematically tasted everything he could possible swallow, tongue or chew. I am talking about an Englishman named William Buckland.
The Champ
In the early 1800s, Buckland was a biblical geologist, the first trained geologist ever at Oxford. He also was a great admirer of animals. He had an odd assortment of live ones at his home, (a hyena, a monkey, allowed to wander the halls). He also had a collection of stuffed ones. Sometimes he would bring samples to class. By one account, while teaching at Oxford, he dropped a large hyena skull onto the lap of a (terrified) student and asked, "What rules the world?" When the student didn't answer, he cried, "The stomach, sir!" It's the stomach that "rules the world. The great ones eat the less, the less the lesser still ..." And therefore, he taught, whoever dominates the world of plants and animals can (and should) eat all the others.
What rules the world? The stomach, sir!
And to demonstrate, that's what he did. He ate nearly everything. He made it a lifelong project, systematically working his way through all the animals in Noah's ark, snacking on each of them.
A couple of times, he balked. One mole repulsed him. He gagged on a bluebottle fly. But with a little butter, most things went down. Says author (and Radiolab regular) Sam Kean, Buckland ate (and offered his guests): "Crisp mice in golden batter. Panther chops. Rhino pie. Trunk of elephant. Crocodile for breakfast. Sliced porpoise head. Horse's tongue. Kangaroo ham." He also sipped dangerously.
One time he was visiting a cathedral and was shown a miracle: Apparently a beam in the roof was dripping fresh saints' blood to the floor. That, anyway, was the local legend. Buckland, "never one to turn down the opportunity to try a new flavour," says journalist Fraser Lewry, "licked the flagstones and was able to disprove the myth, immediately identifying the mystery liquid as bat urine."
How To Explain Dr. Buckland
Eww. Why did he do it? Sam Kean says Buckland spent a lot of time in the woods or away in the mountains digging and had such "limited dining options" that maybe he learned to eat pretty much anything. Or "[i]t may have been a harebrained scheme to get inside the minds of the extinct animals whose bones he dug up."
"Mostly, though," says Sam, "he just liked barbecuing ..."
That's why he's my champ. He wasn't as rich as Apicius. He wasn't as inventive. But he had a joy in him, more than a hunger; he had a mission to taste, to explore, to dare.
Aaron Birk for NPR
His craziest moment may be apocryphal, but it was a story his friends told at the time. One day, he was visiting a friend who wanted to show off a special family treasure. It was sitting in a silver snuffbox. Buckland looked in, and there, cushioned in the box, was a desiccated morsel of King Louis XIV's heart. That's the Louis who built Versailles. Louis the Sun King.
"I have eaten many strange things," Buckland said to his friend, "but have never eaten the heart of a king." With that, before anybody could stop him, he popped the piece in his mouth and swallowed.
And that's why William Buckland wears my crown: Most Daring Eater Ever.
In his new book, The Violinist's Thumb, Sam Kean tells the story of how changes in our DNA ? human DNA ? allowed us to swallow what for other animals is an impossibly rich diet. This is the story of the "meat eating gene," starring, who else? Dr. William Buckland. Aaron Birk, our illustrator on this post, is the author of a graphic novel, The Pollinator's Corridor.
A Postscript: Slurping & Chewing Today
By ROBERT KRULWICH
I didn't know this, but now I do. There are places you can go today that are chock full of adventurous eaters, maybe as adventurous as Dr. Buckland and Apicius. The place to go is not Europe, but Southern China.
The Southern Chinese have a tradition of eating all kinds of things we would never put on a plate. Their food markets are famously ... um ... unlike ours, being full of live snakes, turtles, ferrets, cats, dogs, and you don't want to know what else.
Then, about ten years ago, things got wilder. In his about-to-be-released book about virus hunting and epidemics, David Quammen describes a food craze called "Wild Flavor" that swept through thousands of restaurants in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Wild Flavor menus are daring in the extreme, offering exotics like ferret badger, beaver, hog badger, and masked palm civet (a kind of cat). This raises, of course, conservation questions, health risks, digestion problems. There's even reason to think the SARS epidemic started at one of South China's vast live food markets, so I'd imagine that David, one of our leading writers about biological diversity, would avoid eating weird, possibly dangerous food. But something in the South China air makes otherwise sober people grab their spoons and dig in. Here's David's description of a snack he had: He calls it "the world's stinkiest fruit."
It's a large spiky thing, [called a] durian, like a puffer fish that has swallowed a football; pried open, it yields individual goblets of glutinous creamy pulp, maybe eight or ten goblets per fruit, and an unwelcoming bouquet. The pulp tastes like vanilla custard and smells like the underwear of someone you don't want to know. We ate barehanded, slurping the goo between our fingers as it oozed and dripped. This was before dinner, in lieu of peanuts and beer. Then we went out to a restaurant where [his American friend] ordered us a dish featuring congealed pig's blood ? in little hepatic cubes, like diced liver ? with beet sprouts and hot red peppers. By late evening my shirt was soaked with sweat.
Sounds like a night at the Apiciuses, no?
David Quammen's new book is called Spillover. It's not a food book; it's a book about infections and pandemics. In his stories, when people sit down for a meal, nothing nice is going to happen. Mostly I'd just whisper, "Don't!"

Home Extension ? Over the Mountain Journal
Mary Evelyn loves mixing storied family pieces in her home. The table, she said, has been in every home the McKees have lived in.
By Laura McAlister
Journal Editor
Mary Evelyn McKee?s Mountain Brook home was originally built for an extended family, but for the last couple of years it?s been used by empty nesters ??until recently.
The interior decorator and owner of Mary Evelyn Interiors in Homewood has lived in her Mountain
Decorator Mary Evelyn McKee's granddaughter Madelyn is right at home in her new bedroom in Mary Evelyn's Mountain Brook home.
Brook home for about eight years. Her three boys are grown, but one recently brought his family back to Birmingham from California.
Temporarily, the family of three are making their home with Mary Evelyn, and true to her design style, she?s making it one the family will likely want to stay in.
?This house really was built with an extended family in mind,? she said. ?So we?ve really come full circle.?
It also comes full circle with Mary Evelyn?s theme at this year?s Birmingham Botanical Gardens? Antique at The Gardens. Mary Evelyn is one of the tastemakers, and her theme will be pied-?-terre, a term frequently used in big cities to refer to a small, secondary living space ? or in the case of Mary Evelyn and part of her home, a temporary living space.
When it comes to tackling such spaces, Mary Evelyn takes the same approach as she would in a larger permanent space: It should be comfortable and inviting, combining special family pieces with beautiful design.
?I?m inspired by personal items of the people who inhabit the space,? she said. ?It has to have a soul. It has to come from the people who spend time there.?
Evidence of this philosophy is found all over Mary Evelyn?s own home.
Whether it?s in her permanent living space or her granddaughter?s room, Mary Evelyn mixes family heirlooms with a combination of modern and traditional pieces to create spaces that are inviting and, as she likes to say, ?less than perfect, and not too demanding.?
Take her granddaughter?s new room, for example.
That was a fun one for Mary Evelyn. Being the mother of three boys, she said it was fun to create a room for her 3-year-old granddaughter, Madelyn.
While it would have been easy to go with an all-over pink ? which there is plenty of in the bedroom ? Mary Evelyn added some surprising yet still feminine touches, like the wallpaper. The Nina Campbell wallpaper is covered in butterflies but has a softer palette. Mary Evelyn liked the way the pattern paired with an old rocking chair that has been in her family for five generations.
The old wooden single bed frame is also special to the family. It was Madelyn?s father?s when he was a child; now, it?s covered in hot pink bedding. Pillows in shades of pink by John Robshaw decorate the bed. Another splash of hot pink is found in the chair and chaise where Madelyn likes to sit and read.
?I?ve never had a little girl, so I might have gone overboard on the pink, but I think that?s OK,? Mary Evelyn said. ?I love the quote that ?hot pink is the navy blue of India.??
When it came to decorating the permanent living spaces in the house, the color palette is much more neutral.
The breakfast room is painted in Benjamin Moore?s Cotton Ball. Mary Evelyn designed the banquette seating with a Greek key trim along the bottom that?s paired with an antique trestle table.
?That table has been in every house we?ve had,? she said. ?It has a new life every time we move.?
Mary Evelyn found the large round mirror above the table years ago at Robert Hill Antiques. The chest on the opposite wall of the table repeats the Greek key border found on the banquette seating.
?I?ve just always been drawn to neoclassical elements,? Mary Evelyn said.
She also is drawn to art, which is displayed throughout the house.
One of her favorite paintings hangs in the gallery at the front of the house. It?s by Birmingham artist Annie Kammerer Butrus.
?It?s one of a series she?s done over the years on the Chilton County peach harvest,? Mary Evelyn said.
Mary Evelyn also loves to mix the old with the new, as she does in the downstairs powder room.
There, a modern steel bowl sink sits on top of a custom-made table. A wall of antique mirror gives the room a classic feel, and the room wouldn?t be complete without a family treasure: A trumpet vase that belonged to her husband?s great-grandmother is displayed next to the sink.
Mary Evelyn?s home is a mix of family heirlooms and classic pieces, giving the spaces a timeless feel, which is the design philosophy she?s had since starting her career in 1986.
Her success in decorating led her to open her store in Homewood about six years ago. There, just like in her home, she has a wide variety of accessories and furniture to make a home inviting yet comfortable.

FarmVille 2 is Zynga's second go at milking as much filthy lucre from its farm-based social gaming franchise as possible. There's no mystery to its existence.

"The European Commission today unveiled plans to deal with the exponential growth in mobile and wireless data traffic by enabling wireless technologies, including broadband, to share the use of the radio spectrum.
With new technologies it is possible to share radio spectrum amongst several users ? such as internet providers ? or use the spectrum available between TV frequencies, for example, for other purposes. National spectrum regulation often does not reflect the new technical possibilities, leaving mobile and broadband users at risk of poor service as demand grows, and preventing a single market for investment in such communications markets.
A coordinated European approach to sharing spectrum will lead to greater mobile network capacity, cheaper wireless broadband, and new markets such as tradable secondary rights for a given spectrum allocation.
...
As the first measure of the EU's new Radio Spectrum Policy Programme ..., today the Commission calls for:1) Regulators to support wireless innovation by monitoring and potentially extending the harmonised internal market bands in which no licence is required (so-called licence-exempt bands) through appropriate measures under the Radio Spectrum Decision (676/2002/EC),
2) Fostering consistent regulatory approaches across the EU for shared rights of use that give incentives and legal certainty to all users (current and new) who can share valuable spectrum resources."

Starting to snore during pregnancy could indicate risk for high blood pressure
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Women who begin snoring during pregnancy are at strong risk for high blood pressure and preeclampsia, according to research from the University of Michigan.
The research, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, showed pregnancy-onset snoring was strongly linked to gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, says lead author Louise O'Brien, Ph.D., associate professor in U-M's Sleep Disorders Center.
"We found that frequent snoring was playing a role in high blood pressure problems, even after we had accounted for other known risk factors," says O'Brien. "And we already know that high blood pressure in pregnancy, particularly preeclampsia, is associated with smaller babies, higher risks of pre-term birth or babies ending up in the ICU."
The study is believed to be the largest of its kind, with more than 1,700 participants. It is the first study to demonstrate that pregnancy-onset snoring confers significant risk to maternal cardiovascular health.
Habitual snoring, the hallmark symptom of sleep-disordered breathing, was defined as snoring three to four nights a week. About 25 percent of women started snoring frequently during pregnancy and this doubled the risk for high blood pressure compared to non-snoring women.
O'Brien writes that these results suggest that up to 19 percent of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy might be mitigated through treatment of any underlying sleep-disordered breathing.
Pregnant women can be treated for sleep-disordered breathing using CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). It involves a machine, worn during sleep, that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open. It is possible that use of CPAP may decrease high blood pressure in pregnant women, and O'Brien has such a study currently underway to test this hypothesis.
"Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading global cause of maternal and infant deaths and cost billions of dollars annually to treat," O'Brien says.
"By asking pregnant women about snoring, especially in those with high blood pressure already, obstetric healthcare providers could identify women at high risk for sleep-disordered breathing and intervene during the pregnancy. This could result in better outcomes for mother and baby."

Obama: Disputed game means NFL needs regular refs
By BEN FELLER
AP White House Correspondent
Associated Press Sports
updated 4:07 p.m. ET Sept. 25, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) - The embarrassing NFL referee saga and the disputed call that gave the Seattle Seahawks a victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night has reached the campaign for the White House, with President Barack Obama deeming it "terrible" and declaring it was time to get regular officiating crews back on the job.
"I've been saying for months we've got to get our refs back," Obama said as he returned to the White House from an appearance before the United Nations. In a tweet that went out under over his initials, Obama said: "NFL fans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs' lockout is settled soon."
In a rare moment of agreement with Obama, GOP running mate Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin native, also said it was time to bring back the "real refs." But he used the episode on the football field to argue a partisan case for kicking the president out of office.
"It reminds me of President Obama and the economy," Ryan said in Cincinnati. "If you can't get it right, it's time to get out. I half think that these refs work part-time for the Obama administration in the budget office. ... They're trying to pick the winners and losers, and they don't even do that very well."
Seattle won 14-12 over Green Bay after referees ruled a Seattle receiver caught the ball amid a pile of bodies in the end zone on the game's last play. The NFL conceded that a Seattle penalty in the course of the play went uncalled and cost the Packers the victory, but the league upheld the catch itself and the Seahawks' victory. Legions of football fans watched the play and the referees' call in disbelief, and buzzed about it all day Tuesday.
Typically, Obama, a diehard Chicago Bears enthusiast, is not one to wish the rival Green Bay Packers well.
But besides being an avid sports fan, Obama recently has redoubled efforts to win in the Packer's home state of Wisconsin. His campaign recently started airing ads in the state and Obama held a rally Saturday in Milwaukee, his first visit to the state since February.
The NFL locked out the officials in June after their contract expired. The league has been using replacement officials, who have come under increasing criticism over the way they handled some games.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One that Obama watched the Monday night game and "thinks there was a real problem with that call."
"He said that what happened in that game is why both sides need to come together, resolve their differences so that the regular refs can get back on the field so we can start focusing on a game that so many of us love rather than debating whether or not a game was won or lost because of a bad call," Carney said.
Obama said in a phone interview Tuesday with The Des Moines Register that he doesn't blame the replacement refs.
"They've been put in a tough situation," the president said. "But the fact is this is a fast, tough game to control. And it doesn't make sense to me for a league that's been so successful not to want to put their very best out there."
