Title: Identity of small "Pitcher" plants growing in backyard
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I have small pitcher plants growing in the grass in my backyard. Looks like very dark cobra. Come every summer when very hot. They are about 4 or 5 inches from base to tip of hood. I have a pic. let me know how to send.
This sounds like Aristolochia erecta (Swanflower). It is an intriguing little plant that is usually missed unless it is blooming. It is larval host to Battus philenor (Pipevine swallowtail) butterflies. You might be able to find some of the larvae feeding on the plants if you look closely.
Here are more photos and information from the Image Archive of Central Texas Plants from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Texas and from Tales of the Back Alley Biologist.
If this isn't your plant, please visit our Plant Identification page to find links to several plant identification forums that will accept photos of plants for identification.

Rebuilding Christchurch
The Canterbury economy is showing signs of recovery with the number of fulltime jobs rising 3 per cent in the year to September, although part-time positions fell by the same amount.
According to Statistics New Zealand's latest Labour Cost Index data, the number of filled jobs in the earthquake-stricken region has not recovered to levels seen before the tragic February 2011 earthquake but the rose 1 per cent overall in the past year.
The biggest rise was seen in construction, accommodation, food services, arts and recreation.
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority chief executive Roger Sutton said the residential rebuild appeared to be gearing up.
''The Canterbury rebuild is credited with contributing to a South Island economy growing at 3.3 per cent, the greatest pace of growth seen in eight years,'' he said in a statement.
Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce employment relations adviser Keith Woodruff said tourism activity in the region had been depressed but was starting to show signs of revival.
Nationwide, the number of filled hospitality jobs was up 9.5 per cent. There were 173 listings for hospitality jobs in Canterbury on Trade Me.
One advertiser who did not want to be named said things were ''definitely on the improve'', with dozens of applications for liquor licenses listed in the public notices section of The Press.
Canterbury Restaurant Association president Michael Turner reopened Cafe Valentino six days ago, at a new location in St Asaph St across the square from its pre-quake location, after being shut for 20 months.
''It is good to be back, but it has been very difficult to get experienced wait staff. When the earthquake happened we had 30 staff and within two weeks 25 had left for overseas because they have transportable skills. It's made life very difficult. If it wasn't for backpackers I don't know what we'd do,'' Turner said.
He had more than 300 applicants for wait staff positions but ''virtually none'' for experienced bar staff.
''I eventually hired someone from Germany and someone from Scotland, and will keep them here as long as I can. It is what I call 'hospitality spring time' in Christchurch at the moment. There are venues reopening everywhere.''
Throughout New Zealand, fulltime workers got about $30 a week more in their pay during the year to September as wage costs rose around 2 per cent for employers, according to the latest Statistics New Zealand survey of 18,000 businesses.
The Labour Cost Index data showed private sector salaries rose 2.1 per cent in the year to the September quarter while public sector wages were up only 1.4 per cent.
Filled wholesale trade jobs filled rose 8.7 per cent and the construction sector saw a 5.7 per cent rise in the number of jobs.
ASB economist Daniel Smith said the data was largely as expected.
''Wage growth has been very stable for the last couple of years, with the labour cost index increasing by about 2 per cent year on year, and that has continued.
"We do expect the Canterbury rebuild to place some upward pressure on wages over the coming year, as skill shortages emerge, but there is little evidence of that effect coming through just yet.''
The mean increase for all surveyed salary and wage rates that rose nationwide in the September 2012 quarter was 3.1 per cent, compared with 3.6 per cent in the June 2012 quarter.
Of all pay rates surveyed, 56 per cent showed annual increases in the year to the September 2012 quarter, the same proportion as in the year to the June 2012 quarter.

When does Brexit mean Brexit - Could the UK change its mind?

Fraud: eBay buyer lied about Louis Vuitton bag and sent back fake

Then I listed a Louis Vuitton Trouville bag for £450 with best offer accepted. Complying with eBay's listing policy, I took photos of every angle of the bag, showing that it was in excellent condition. The zip ran smoothly and there was no damage to the canvas. I included a detailed description on the details page. A buyer made an offer of £330, which I accepted because I needed the money to pay the bills for that week.

Fur flies over campaign to curb cuddly killers
Do you think cats should be eradicated from New Zealand?
Relevant offers
Ensuring cats are desexed is a more realistic way of reducing the impact they have on the environment than eradication, the Nelson SPCA says.
Nelson SPCA manager Donna Walzl said the big issue for her was the de-sexing of animals and she believed if everybody had their cats de-sexed and did not dump them economist Gareth Morgan would not have such cause for concern.
Mr Morgan pitted the cat owners against the pigeon lovers yesterday by launching a controversial website Cats to Go advocating the eradication of cats in New Zealand.
He tells cat owners: "We don't suggest you knock your favourite furry friend on the head. We do suggest you think about the consequences on the bird population of domestic cats, and make this cat your last."
His hard-hitting website, which has a picture of a kitten with devil eyes and horns, said that the "little ball of fluff you own" was a serial killer that destroyed New Zealand's wildlife.
"The fact is that cats have to go if we really care about our environment," Mr Morgan said.
He has launched a petition calling for local governments to require registration and micro-chipping of cats, to provide eradication facilities for unregistered cats, and encourage people to trap and turn in unwanted cats on their property.
Mr Morgan said there were 1.4 million cats in New Zealand and cats had wiped out nine native bird species and impacted on 33 endangered native bird species.
Ms Walzl said already this year the SPCA had received 141 unwanted animals, the majority of which were cats or kittens.
Cats were prolific breeders with one cat able to have up to 10 kittens a litter and two litters a year.
A statistic she had been quoted was that two unsexed cats left in the bush, and their resulting offspring, could breed up to 72,000 cats in seven years.
"I think if we got the numbers under control it would not be such a huge problem.
"I don't think we have got any comprehension of how many there are out in the bush and I think if the public knew we would all be shocked."
She said it saddened her how many animals were not desexed or abandoned and she could not comprehend why people chose to have an animal that was not desexed when de-sexing services such as the SPCA were available.
Neil Page of Richmond Native Bird Recovery said it was "fantastic" that the debate about cats was being had.
Mr Page said he saw first hand the damage cats did to wildlife and just last week a tui at the hide had been killed by a cat.
He said it seemed stupid to send out an army of volunteers to trap stoats and rats and tell them they could not touch cats which were also predators.
Birdlife on the Grampians member Bryce Buckland said he did not believe eradication was realistic, but he thought better controls on cats was desirable.
He said someone had spoken to had found a dead cat up the top of Jenkin's Hill, which had possibly been killed by a dog. It had tags on it which showed it was from Main Rd, Stoke.
Australia had much tougher rules around cats as it had acknowledged the effect they had on the environment.
Nelson Cat Club president Loraine Craw said Victoria, Queensland and Perth had cat curfews. She had lived in Perth and believed a nighttime curfew where cats were shut inside from 6pm to 6am would work.
Gareth Morgan's suggestions for minimising their cats impacts on the environment.
1. Get a bell for your cat. They may be less than 50 per cent effective but every bit counts.

Yay! It's "breadboad" friendly! This will go great with my "breadboad"!
This thing works great! Interestingly enough, if you download the Tone library for the Arduino, upload the RTTTL example, and connect Arduino pin 13 to the STEP input, you can get stepper motor music. It probably also works with just about anything on the Arduino designed for a speaker…
No public wish lists :(

The Soundbite Straw Man
You can tell that Austrian economics is on the comeback trail by the amount of attention it has received from critics in recent years. Unfortunately most of the critiques are incredibly shallow and afford little basis for serious debate. The main failing of the critics is that they as a rule misrepresent Austrian theory due to the fact that they are evidently not overly familiar with it (or alternatively, if they are familiar with it, they have not understood it – or even worse are misrepresenting it on purpose, although that seems not very likely to us).
For instance, as Joseph Salerno remarks in a 2011 paper ('A Reformulation of Austrian Business Cycle Theory In Light of the Financial Crisis', pdf), many of the mainstream critiques of ABCT from the likes of Brad de Long or Paul Krugman betray the fact that their authors are apparently only aware of a single text describing ABCT, namely that found in the survey of business cycle theories published under the auspices of the UN in 1937 by Gottfried Haberler. Haberler was an Austrian, actually a student of von Mises who later 'recanted' and became an adherent of 'a mild Keynesianism', as Salerno puts it (Haberler in his own words described himself as close to the Chicago school and it should be noted that he never completely forgot his roots). Importantly, Haberler's break with ABCT in particular came in 1933, and his 1937 representation of it is an over-simplified, mechanistic one that describes it as a 'monetary overinvestment theory', which it plainly is not.
Now, if critics of ABCT base their critique not on the writings of von Mises, Hayek and Rothbard, then readers of these critiques who are indeed familiar with the works of these authors are often left somewhat mystified (the usual reaction is 'huh, what the hell are they talking about?'). It appears that Salerno has hit the nail on the head: all they have ever read was Haberler's 1937 compilation. This can be deduced from what precisely their critique consists of – as Salerno writes, they are expending their efforts on criticizing what is little more than a caricature of ABCT. The theory as laid out by Mises and Hayek is a theory of both malinvestment and overconsumption due to an unsustainable credit boom. Malinvestment is very distinct from 'overinvestment' and the subject of 'overconsumtpion' is completely overlooked in these mainstream critiques.
Since the critics seem as a rule not prepared to really engage with the theory, their sniping is usually confined to blogs or brief editorials, where they are – whether on purpose or inadvertently – busy knocking down straw men with the help of a few soundbites.
Apriorism Misapprehended
Recently we came across another example provided by a Bloomberg columnist, one Josh Barro, who in lauding 'born-again' Keynesian Richard Posner uses a caricature of Austrian economics to criticize the Republican party (!) of all things. It is a very short article, in keeping with the soundbite principle, so we will reproduce it in its entirety below:
"Richard Posner gave an interview to NPR this week in which he blasts current-day conservatives and says today's "goofy" Republican Party has made him less conservative. Over the last 10 years, he said, "There's been a real deterioration in conservative thinking. And that has to lead people to re-examine and modify their thinking."
Posner is probably the most respected judge in America who doesn't sit on the Supreme Court, and a key thinker in the law and economics movement. His alienation is a reflection of how hostile the conservative movement has become to intellectuals.
Of course, conservatives will tell you they care a lot about intellectual grounding. These days, they especially love Austrian economists, such as Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. I have a whole bookshelf dedicated to duplicate copies of Austrian economics books that conservative and libertarian organizations have given to me for free. I have four copies of The Road to Serfdom, which is like Dianetics for libertarians.
There are two big reasons today's right loves the Austrians. One is that Austrian economists reject empirical analysis, and instead believe that you can reach conclusions about correct economic policies from a priori principles. It's philosophy dressed up as economics; with the Austrians, there is never any risk that real-world events will interfere with your ideology.
The other big advantage is that the main Austrian thinkers, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, are dead, so they can't argue with your interpretation of their work. This is especially important with Hayek, who got sort of squishy later in life.
And that is how so many on the right have pulled off the remarkable feat of going through the 2008 crisis and its aftermath without revisiting any of their policy views. Mine have certainly changed a lot — I have a much different outlook on monetary policy and bank regulation than I did four years ago. Posner had a big shift on fiscal policy.
But if you have Mises at your side, you "know" that empirical findings have no bearing on what policy should be. Leaning on Austrian thinkers is a great way to avoid further thinking. If Posner feels like he's no longer welcome on the right, it's probably because the right has decided it no longer needs people like Posner."
Now, we must note here from the outset that we care neither about Richard Posner (we don't even know who he is), nor the Republican party. We care even less about Posner now that we know that he's become a Keynesian for some reason. Apparently he read the confused jumble that is the 'General Theory' and was impressed by it. We weren't. If this is what identifies him as an 'intellectual', then he has just taken two big steps backward. He may well be a legal eagle of the first order, but there really is more to economics than Keynes (since we don't know Posner, we concede he may be open to broadening his horizon; maybe he'll tell us next year that after reading 'Human Action' that he is prepared to reject Keynes again). Still, if the conservative movement is indeed hostile to this type of intellectualism, then it can't be as bad as Barro makes it out to be.
Allow us however to point out in this context that to argue that the Republicans as such have actually found their 'intellectual grounding' in Mises and Hayek strikes us as well beyond absurd.
Apparently this is a case of a 'pars pro toto' misidentification, because Ron Paul happens to be a Republican. To think that Ron Paul and the handful of others in the microscopic 'libertarian wing' of the Republican party are somehow representative of modern-day conservatism is plainly laughable.
If anything, they tend to inspire even more fear and loathing in the Republican establishment than the Democrats (as anyone who has followed the GOP primaries in the US media could easily ascertain). The only reason why people like Ron Paul are associated with the Republicans at all is because the two big establishment parties have made it all but impossible for third party competition to get on the ballots anywhere. We think that's all there is to it. If you were to ask the average Republican representative about Mises and his apriorism, he would at first blush probably assume that Mises was a fruit grower somewhere in California and you were inquiring about the apricot harvest, or more likely, apricot growing subsidies.
Calling Hayek's timeless warning against central economic planning the 'Dianetics for libertarians' may strike the author as witty, but considering the stature of Friedrich von Hayek one should probably refrain from comparing him to L. Ron Hubbard, unless of course one wants to show the world that one is not exactly above what's known as really cheap shots.
Then it becomes downright ridiculous. We are referring to this:
"There are two big reasons today's right loves the Austrians. One is that Austrian economists reject empirical analysis, and instead believe that you can reach conclusions about correct economic policies from a priori principles. It's philosophy dressed up as economics; with the Austrians, there is never any risk that real-world events will interfere with your ideology."
The other big advantage is that the main Austrian thinkers, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, are dead, so they can't argue with your interpretation of their work.
Allow us to point out here that while the methodological questions addressed at length by Mises are indeed considered controversial today, this has nothing to do with 'ideology'. Mises and Hayek both were always at pains to keep their economic theorizing 'wertfrei', i.e., value neutral. As Rothbard once remarked (we are paraphrasing), Mises the citizen may well be a classical liberal, but Mises the economist is entirely free of value judgments. Moreover, if the author thinks he can knock down Misesian apriorism with a two sentence aside, he merely parades his ignorance.
As to the 'other big advantage' of the main Austrian thinkers, well, Keynes has that advantage too. He is even deader than they are, as the 'long run' overtook him somewhat earlier. So what? Does this mean we can no longer critically examine what he and his followers said and are still saying? Are there no contemporary Austrians whom one might engage in debate? Are we to assume that the aforementioned Richard Posner can talk with the dead? After all, it is Posner's hasty conversion to Keynesianism after reading the 'General Theory' that apparently occasioned Barro's article!
As to Austrian apriorism, it might just as well be called 'common sense'. As both Mises and Hayek never tired to point out, it is a grave error to assume that human beings can be analyzed as though they were inanimate objects. There are undoubtedly nevertheless economic laws, but these cannot be discovered by quantitative statistical analysis or to put it in more general terms, by the study of economic history. Economic theory must precede economic history – if one wants to examine the facts of economic history in a fruitful manner, one better have a correct theory for doing so. It is actually quite amusing to see the most realistic and common-sense grounded of all economic theories to stand accused of a lack of realism.
The basis for discovering economic laws is given by the logical structure of the human mind itself. These laws can be formulated by means of deductive reasoning starting from the action axiom. The act of cognition that led Ludwig von Mises to the action axiom is of course by no means completely divorced from our experience – in fact, it is a bridge between the purely rational, idealistic aspect of apriorism and reality. Obviously, purposive human action only takes place in the real world. On the other hand, it would hardly make sense to try to prove the existence of e.g. the law of marginal utility or other basic economic laws by means of 'experimental testing'.
Policymakers and their Advisors
The positivist approach has been practiced by the economic mainstream for decades. There hasn't been a single policymaker or advisor to policymakers that has adopted what could be termed an 'Austrian' approach to either economic analysis, forecasting or policy at any point in time since president Harding's administration in the early 1920's.
Given that these policymakers and their advisors all insist on empiricism as the be-all and end-all and have based their actions and recommendations on it for decades, why are they ignoring the by now rather glaring empirical evidence of the utter failure of these policies?How come there is an economic and financial crisis 'only rivaled by the Great Depression' as we keep hearing from Paul Krugman and many others, if the economic theories these policies were based on are really so superior?
Let us not forget, it was Über-Keynesian Paul Krugman who agreed sotto voce and in writing with Paul McCulley in 2002 that 'Greenspan needed to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble' (we got you fact-checked Krugman, there's no use denying it).
Krugman, who likes to back-pat himself over and over again for every 'prediction' he gets right, somehow completely failed to predict the big financial crisis, although it seems quite clear with hindsight that his policy recommendations were followed and that these policies were directly responsible for it.
Let's quickly name an Austrian economist who failed to predict the crisis … gee, we can't think of one off the cuff. Literally every single economist in the Austrian tradition was well aware that an unsustainable credit boom was underway that would end in tears and a major bust. However, we would also stress here that correct predictions of this sort are not what makes one a good economist. It is of course possible to engage in economic forecasting, but only within the praxeological constraints that such forecasting is subject to.
As an aside, there is of course a good reason why many mainstream economists like to now and then issue off-the-cuff put-downs of Austrian theory, even if they evidently haven't read or understood much of it. They probably know enough to realize that if the radical free market approach favored by Austrians were indeed adopted, there would be very little demand for the mostly mediocre intellectual output of today's 'macro-economists'. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. An economist who insists that the economy doesn't require interventionism or planning can not possibly hope to get paid by planners for his advice, since both his advice and the planners themselves would appear to be surplus to requirements.
Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich August Hayek. It seems Mises is a bit like Jesus: he may be dead, but ya can't get rid of him.

Addendum: Dylan Grice and Spontaneous Order
We are big fans of Societe Generale analyst and scribe Dylan Grice. Grice regularly presents 'Austrian' ideas, without ever identifying them as such (at least we have not yet come across an outright mention of Austrian economics by Grice, although he obviously knows a thing or two about it).
A recent example was a short paper by Grice on an experiment with traffic lights in a Dutch town which we have also mentioned in these pages in the past. Here is a brief summary of Grice's paper at Alphaville.
Grice points out that ever since traffic lights and traffic signs were almost completely removed in the town of Drachten in the Netherlands (the equivalent experiment in Germany has been conducted in Bohmten), traffic accidents have fallen to a grand total of…zero. The very same experience was made in Bohmte: all traffic signs and traffic lights are gone, and ever since that time there have been no accidents. Not only that, the traffic also flows better and there are no longer any traffic jams either.
Well, what this represents is of course a slightly different application of an idea developed by both Michael Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek with regards to markets, namely the 'spontaneous order' that is generated by free markets. Grice concludes that one reason why there are no longer accidents is that 'people actually feel less safe without traffic lights'. In other words, due to the lack of central planning and regulation 'from above', many citizens feel – boohoo – that big brother is no longer looking out for their interests and hence, they believe they are 'less safe'. Obviously though, they are safer than they used to be, since accidents have undeniably simply stopped happening. This is precisely because now that they feel less safe, their behavior in traffic has become more circumspect and courteous.
Grice further concludes that the same principle can be applied to other types of regulation, including financial regulation. This is so up our alley we simply had to mention it here. Long time readers of this blog know that we have always stressed what a complete waste of time and effort it was to concoct the telephone-book sized Dodd-Frank monstrosity.
We have quite often ridiculed Ben Bernanke and others for asserting that the crisis was the result of a 'lack of regulation' when it was plain that at the center of the crisis was one of the by far most heavily regulated industries!
Bernanke of course mainly wanted to deflect attention from the Fed's culpability in setting interest rates too low for too long, but the chant 'we need more regulation' could and still can be heard from everywhere.
We are today at the point of maximum absurdity: we are fighting a crisis of regulation and easy money with even more regulation and more easy money.
Let us briefly quote Dylan Grice on the topic:
"The traffic lights and road signs are well intentioned, but by subtly encouraging us to lower our guard they subtly alter the fundamental algorithm dictating micro-level driving behaviour. This causes a perverse macro-level outcome.
You might be thinking that traffic lights don't have anything to do with the markets we all work in. But I think they do. Instead of traffic lights and road signs think rating agencies; think Basel risk weights for Core 1 and Core 2 bank capital; think Solvency 2; or think of the ultimate market regulators of our currencies – the central banks – and the Greenspan/Bernanke 'put' which was once imagined to exist. Haven't these regulators provided the same illusion of safety to financial market participants as traffic safety tools do for drivers? And hasn't this illusion of safety been even more lethal?
The regulations which told banks that AAA-rated bonds were 'risk free' were designed to make markets safer. But they created an artificial demand for such bonds, which created an incentive for issuers to dress up bonds as 'risk free' when they were anything but. The regulations effectively incentivized ratings agencies to rate them as 'risk free' when they clearly weren't. And today, the same madness is going on in the government bond markets. It's very difficult to see how government bonds are anything other than 'risk assets' (let's face it, all assets are). Yet insurers are buying them because they've been told to 'take less risk' (whatever that means) by the regulators. So they are taking more risk, and they will one day suffer the consequences."
Amen brother!

The points that were scored after the Marion jumper was part of a 13-0 run that gave them a 15-point lead. The lead hit 15-points after Dwyane Wade made a three-pointer in front of the Mavs bench. After Wade made the three-pointer it looked like he put the nail in the coffin, and he thought so to as he left his hand hanging there as he walked back to the Heats bench. LeBron James met him about halfway and began to punch him in the chest as the Mavs took a timeout.
After that the Heat went cold and their defensive pressure dropped. Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki then took over as Terry scored six straight points to cut the Heat lead to 88-79. Shawn Marion made a layup to get it within seven-points till LeBron answered with a pair of free-throws.
Jason Kidd made a three-pointer and Jason Terry made a jumper to make it a 90-86 game. Dirk Nowitzki made a jumper that cut the Heat lead down to two-points, 99-88.

Mario Chalmers answered with a wide open three-pointer on a inbound play that tied the game up at 93 points apiece.
It was .24 second left in the game and the Mavs had the ball. They gave the ball to Nowitzki at the top of the key, and he drove on Chris Bosh to make the game winning layup. It was .03 seconds left and the Mavs had a 95-93 lead and Miami had no timeouts. So they threw the ball in quick and Dwyane Wade threw up desperation three and then laid on the floor looking for a foul after he missed it.

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals miracle diet in new cookbook
New York: In her latest cookbook, `It`s All Good` Gwyneth Paltrow offers recipes for and insights into the strict miracle diet that her doctor put her on for three weeks to "clear out her system, heal her gut and revive her body."
Among the diet`s forbidden foods - coffee, eggs, sugar, shellfish, deepwater fish, potatoes, tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant, corn, wheat and meat, the New York Post reported.
The prescription was, she writes, "tough words for a foodie to hear."
Paltrow has been pushing herself as a "foodie" for years.
In 2007, she took a culinary tour of Spain with Mario Batali while refusing to eat the pork for which the country is known.
The following year, she launched Goop, her embarrassingly un-self-conscious lifestyle Web site.
Despite rampant mockery, she`s persisted with the site, offering up recipes, sharing her favorite 600-dollar chef`s knives and even adding an e-commerce component to hawk Goop exclusive clothing and accessories.
And now, with her second cookbook, she is once again promoting herself as a foodie and a health guru, despite a weird obsession that treats eating with a greater sense of restriction than relish.
On the front cover, Paltrow goes to comical lengths to look relatable. She smiles toothily in front of rustic wooden crates piled with zucchini.
Her blond hair is tousled and scraggly, her dark roots clearly visible.
She wears little makeup, and her skin walks a precarious line between glowing and shiny.
In the pictures inside, she looks far more comfortable in pastoral art photos in which she`s gathering vegetables in a fetching ethnic print dress and Hunter boots.

Geert Vanden Wijngaert, Associated Press
MILAN — Italy's borrowing rates touched a new euro-era high on Wednesday as a global market sell-off reignited fears that the debt crisis will engulf the eurozone's third-largest economy.
Premier Silvio Berlusconi will address parliament on the state of the economy in the evening, but opposition parties called for him to step down, saying his lack of economic credibility in the markets was part of the problem.
Spain was also under the market spotlight, forcing Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to delay his vacation by two days to monitor the bleak scenario in the markets.
In a volatile day of trading, Italy's 10-year borrowing rate briefly spiked to 6.21 percent before easing to 6.04 percent, while Spain's edged down to 6.18 percent, from Tuesday's euro-era high of 6.45 percent. Both countries' yields have soared in recent days.
The revival of the debt crisis is mainly due to a global sell-off by traders of any investments that appear risky — such as the bonds of Italy and Spain.
Whereas both countries could continue borrowing at their current rates, their financing costs would increase, adding to the debt pile that is the source of market worries.
The fear is that the global market turmoil will push the two countries closer toward needing a bailout.
"The upward march in Spanish and Italian bond yields is evidence of the relentlessness of the sovereign debt crisis," said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International.
High yields show the additional interest investors demand to hold the country's debt, and underline how a government's financing costs could rise when they need to tap bond markets again. As fears of default increase, interest rates rise and make paying debt even harder in a vicious circle.
Italy's €70 billion ($99 million) austerity package passed last month aims at balancing the budget by 2014 but has done little to calm markets.
Opposition parties, commentators, economists and the non-partisan president have called for deeper reforms to encourage investment and growth and regain market confidence.
"At this moment, it is up to the political forces, both in the government and opposition, to work with civil society to make choices to decisively stimulate the indispensable growth of the economy and employment," President Giorgio Napolitano said in a statement.
Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti, meanwhile, traveled to Luxembourg to talk with Jean-Claude Juncker, the chairman of the Eurogroup meetings of eurozone nations.
"We had a long discussion visiting all the problems the euro area is facing and will continue our meditation in common," Juncker said.
Tremonti earlier spoke on the phone with the EU's monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn to discuss Italy's plans to reform its economy and measures to contain the debt crisis.
The turmoil added political pressure on Berlusconi, who will deliver his speech after markets close.
The main opposition party leader Pier Luigi Bersani said there was "global skepticism" of Berlusconi, while his deputy, Enrico Letta, said it was time for the premier to step down.
"He cannot be the one to propose solutions, seeing that he is a big part of the problem," Letta said.
Analysts did not expect Berlusconi, who is to meet with unions and business associations on Thursday, would propose a concrete agenda of new economic measures.
"It would be welcome to hear his pledge to come back again to the Parliament in a very short time ... to present a concrete and bipartisan action plan," wrote Unicredit economist Chiara Corsa in a note to investors.
Italy has debt nearing 120 percent of economic output, but had been viewed for months with calm by bond markets. The country has low levels of private debt and has not had the real estate boom and bust that caused trouble for the United States, Spain, and Ireland.
But it suffers from chronically low growth and investors doubt the government's willingness and ability to push through painful economic reforms.
Spain, meanwhile, is struggling to recover from nearly two years of recession triggered largely by the collapse of an overheated real estate sector. Burdened by a swollen deficit, the country is struggling to bring down a jobless rate that stands at a eurozone high of nearly 21 percent.
Zapatero delayed the start of vacation to monitor market developments, and was working in Madrid on Wednesday after dropping off his family in southern Spain a day earlier. Zapatero was set to hold an emergency meeting later with Finance Minister Elena Salgado and Development Minister Jose Blanco.
The prime minister has called early general elections, largely due to pressure from the financial crisis and because he wants a new government to manage the troubled economy from the start of the year.
By late morning in Europe, the Milan Stock Exchange had recovered from several days of massive losses to trade 1.2 percent higher, while Spain's main index was 1.9 percent higher.

Two sentenced to life in murder-for-hire killing of Ga. sheriff-elect
By ERRIN HAINES
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA- Two men convicted in the murder-for-hire killing of a man who was elected sheriff of DeKalb County were sentenced Monday to life in federal prison.
Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown was shot at least a dozen times in front of his home on Dec. 15, 2000, just days before he was to have succeeded DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, the man he had defeated in that year's election.
Suspicions immediately turned to Dorsey, who was convicted of plotting the murder in a separate state court trial and is serving a life prison sentence.
Prosecutors argued that Walker, the suspected triggerman, was promised a promotion to deputy sheriff if he helped kill Brown. Ramsey, the alleged backup shooter, was promised a job as a detention officer, they said.
The defense argued that two co-conspirators granted immunity by prosecutors were the real killers and that they accused Walker and Ramsey to save themselves.
Both Walker and Ramsey sat stoically Monday as Brown's relatives and supporters spoke of their loss.
Brown's mother, Burvena Brown, called the verdict "the end of a long fight."
"I experienced a great deal of pain and anger for almost five years," she said, holding a picture of her son. "It's a pain so severe that it seems I myself have been dying a slow death."
Federal prosecutor Bobbi Bernstein told the judge Walker and Ramsey stole the trust of the entire community when they killed Brown.
"This is not bitterness, this is not vengeance, but finally, justice," Bernstein said.

The first step is to determine the time investment you are willing to make, whether its one hour a week, or more, make a decision on the amount of time you're willing to spend improving your ability. Then budget that time by scheduling blocks of time in your calendar. Call it your ability investment, or some other descriptive title. Scheduling time in advance in your calendar will ma...
