Spain to tap around 40 billion euros in EU funds for banks

BRUSSELS/MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish Economy Minister Luis De Guindos confirmed on Monday that the country's government would request around 40 billion euros ($52 billion) in European financial aid for its troubled banks.

"For the nationalized banks (...) the amount is going to be around 37 billion euros. In all, we are talking about 40 billion euros, which is the number we have always had in mind, about 3.5 percent of GDP," he told reporters in Brussels.

The total takes into account a public capital injection for the bad bank and some limited capital needs for banks which have not been fully nationalized.

Spain was granted up to 100 billion euros of aid in June as part of a euro zone rescue fund to clean up a banking sector crippled since a property bubble burst five years ago. Newspapers and ministers have talked about an initial tranche of around 40 billion euros that had until now not been officially confirmed.

Bankia, which sought a 23.5 billion euros bailout from the state in May, is expected to take the majority of the bailout money. The other three already nationalized lenders are Novagalicia, CatalunyaCaixa and Banco de Valencia.

El Pais reported on Monday that apart from the 37 billion to be disbursed to these four lenders 2.5 billion euros would be injected to capitalize the recently-created bad bank, known as Sareb.

The newspaper said an additional 2 billion to 3 billion euros of European Union funds would be used for other banks that may need public money.

On Sunday, El Pais said European authorities would transfer 35 billion euros to Spain's state bank rescue fund on December 15 in exchange for massive lay-offs at the four nationalized banks.

This followed comments by Spain's deputy economy minister Miguel Temboury last week that the country would probably tap less than 40 billion euros of aid from the euro zone rescue fund.

Treatment as bargaining ? Ian Ford

As for many people, reading ?Don?t Mourn For Us? for the first time was a deep experience, and I hope you will read it if you haven?t. I had the related idea this morning that much of the therapy that is done to autistic children represents people being stuck in the ?bargaining? stage of the ever-popular 5 stages of loss. And the problem with the apparent or actual effectiveness of some of that therapy is that it might prevent those parents from moving forward into depression and then to acceptance. In the list of stages below, the quotes are from a wikipedia contributor, and I?ve added in parentheses what autism parents seem to be doing while in those phases.

  • Denial ? ?This can?t be happening, not to me.? (Doubt the diagnosis is correct.)
  • Anger ? ?Why me? It?s not fair!?; ?Who is to blame?? (Crusade-like search for causes, such as vaccines.)
  • Bargaining ? ?I?ll do anything/give my life savings if?? (Behavioral therapy.)
  • Depression ? ?I?m so sad, why bother with anything?? (Nothing.)
  • Acceptance ? ?It?s going to be okay.? (Support the offspring in their own path!)

In the bargaining stage for some autism parents, they actually do spend their life savings as a way to try to buy back the child that never existed. If the actual child learns to act like that never-existed ghost-child, the false wish-induced memory sparked by that charade may feed the parents ?hopes? and they could stay in that phase of grief for a very long time.

An insightful wiki editor also posted on that same page: ??All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.? said Arthur Schopenhauer of the learning process, which corresponds to the five stages of grief with denial being ridicule, opposition being anger and bargaining, and acceptance being depression and acceptance.? For me, the truth of autism is that people are different, and that enlightenment comes from walking in our own path no matter how unusual that is, not from conforming. Every prophet and major philosopher agrees with me on that point (I mean, I agree with them). Yet some people are violently opposed to that idea, which again tells me that they are very very stuck in the bargaining phase of their grief.

I suspected some parents have used the 5 stages of loss as a self-help tool, and sure enough, a quick web search reveals lots of stories. But in the first 4 that I read, I found only pseudo-acceptance, not real acceptance. Here are some excerpts:

Story #1, explaining a mom?s ?acceptance? of a daughter?s autism: ?I have my moments of sadness that Natasha is autistic ? but I?m realizing more and more that being autistic isn?t the end of the world. It felt like it in the beginning but, through listening to Natasha?s therapists and seeing Natasha making progress in things Tom and I questioned whether she would ever do, I?m learning that it?s not [the end of the world]. It?s still hard. I still have problems when I talk to mothers of children who are around the same age and they tell me their child never stops talking. They inevitably always ask if Natasha does the same thing. Part of me knows it?s just making conversation, small talk ? but it doesn?t stop a little pain going through my heart.? To me this story is about denial (maybe she?ll eventually turn out normal), shame, and depression.

Story #2, admitting she doesn?t accept autism at all: ?The acceptance stage is the one that makes me the most worried and the least confident. ? That stage won?t be complete until I stop wishing I had known more, or stop wanting to turn back the clocks or stop being so determined to tell others that they could have a better chance than I. I have accepted a lot of things in life, much too many to list, but I will never accept that what happened to my child and what started his potentially life-long, debilitating, devastating developmental issues are allowed to be acceptable for the greater good. Never.?

Story #3, using the word ?acceptance? to mean resignation? ?And it has lead into this Acceptance stage. Accepting his physical problems, and continuing to work toward better management and treatment, but not being overly crazy about it. Accepting his skill levels and working with his whole team to improve his learning without being crazy about it?and also showing them how much I really appreciate all that they do for Levi. Accepting that the future is unknown, and that in itself is scary, but it is okay to be scared?and just doing the best we can now, and planning for the future as best we can.?

Story #4, denying the value of acceptance altogether: ?One of my goals ? is to present an alternative to these ?default? stages that treat an autism diagnosis as a devastating loss, [by presenting] a series of steps that parents can take to fully understand their situation and go beyond mere acceptance.?

All this mourning, treatments of defects, ?hope?, and ?progress? are a mental cycle of the parents stuck in their grief. Becoming un-stuck hinges on spiritual depth of the kind that contradicts the cycle.

If you have any kind of spiritual life, you know there is an inside, a soul, or some place where seeds of future growth germinate. You know that great artists have immeasurable gifts that do not come from any school or book, but they are of a deeper sort. If you have ever loved, you have been moved to protect the fragile gifts of someone else, because you wanted those gifts to come out. You believed that there was much more to a person than meets the eye.

Any authentic greatness that a person achieves, whether in the arts or in virtues or in competition, starts deep on the inside, and only the final result is seen on the outside. If a comedian says five words and a million people laugh, how did he do it? The external behavior can easily be copied but the much more significant internal process is unique and not reducible to elements.

When I think of myself, I think of fundamentals and the things that are built on top of the fundamentals, like this:It may not be the same map for everyone ? you could argue that non-autistic people base their knowledge on language, so language might be lower down for them. But in any case, there is depth which drives the surface.

The bargainer?s way out may be to remember their innate knowledge that there is an inside. Everyone knows intuitively that it is there, and even the system of mental health clearly acknowledges this. If you go to find a therapist for yourself, you run across lots of professionals who focus on deep mindfulness and the cognitive and emotional levels, and stress the therapeutic relationship. When the customer is paying the bill, they don?t offer behavior therapy; they focus on the base levels of the pyramid.

But when the parent or the insurance company or government is paying the bill to fix some powerless child who is said to be broken, the ethics suddenly change and the treatment providers are all about the upper, visible parts of the pyramid: the behavior. Even though that is not where the answer lies, the systems of education and ?behavioral health? churn at that level. It is as if there is nothing inside. Or, perhaps the systems suspect something is in there, but they focus only on what they can conquer, and they know they can?t conquer the inside. Or they exist to feed off the bargaining stage of parents? grief, and there is more money to be made that way. Or, perhaps these institutions are actually encroaching on the soul ? where my worst fear begins.

I suspect that people mired in the bargaining phase are often not aware of what it would look like to release that and move on. It would look like you are raising a non-broken child, because that is the truth. Like any other child, you would nurture their strengths and challenge them to the next level. And like any child, you would teach and demand some manners and other behavioral standards. But you would not throw away the soul as a Faustian bargain in exchange for the surface behavior.

Ohio inmate loses bid to stay his execution because of weight

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - A federal judge said on Monday that an Ohio death row inmate weighing more than 450 pounds cannot be given a stay of execution because of his obesity.

Ronald Post, 53, is scheduled to be executed January 16 for the 1983 aggravated murder of hotel clerk Helen Vantz in Elyria, Ohio.

Since his first appeal in 1997, Post's attorneys have argued that his weight, of more than 450 pounds, in combination with the state's death penalty drug protocols creates a certainty of, "substantial risk for serious and psychological pain" and a "torturous and lingering death."

Attorneys for Post argued that his obesity would make it difficult to find a vein for a lethal injection and that the alternative of an intramuscular injection might not kill him because of his weight.

Judge Lesley Wells ruled in federal court in Columbus, Ohio on Monday that Post's latest court filing did not present any new arguments that warranted a stay of execution.

Post was sentenced to death by a three-judge panel in 1985. The prosecution contended that Post confessed to the murder to multiple people and once arrested tried to pay others to kill witnesses.

The motion for a stay of execution will now be sent to the Sixth District Court of Appeals for review.

GOP opposition to diplomat Rice begins to crack

(AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)

(AP) ? Republican opposition to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as the next secretary of state began to crack Sunday as Sen. John McCain said she was "not the problem" in the White House's handling of the Sept. 11 attack in Libya and suggested he could be persuaded to swing behind her possible nomination.

McCain's comments provide an opening for the Obama administration, which struggled mightily in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 election to tamp down speculation of a cover-up involving the attack against the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi. The assault killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

At issue is Rice's account ? as the administration's representative on the Sunday talk shows Sept. 16 ? that the violence was the spontaneous result of a mob angered by an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube. She said she relied on talking points provided by the intelligence community that were later discredited.

"I think she deserves the ability and the opportunity to explain herself and her position," McCain, R-Ariz., told "Fox News Sunday." ''But she's not the problem. The problem is the president of the United States" who misled the public on terrorist involvement.

McCain's remarks were in contrast to his previous stance that Rice wasn't qualified to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is expected to step down soon as the top U.S. diplomat, and that he would do "whatever is necessary" to block Rice's possible nomination.

Rice is widely seen as Obama's first choice for the job as secretary of State. As the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain would have considerable sway in the Senate's screening of Rice.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, McCain's close friend and colleague on the committee, told ABC "This Week" he still suspects the White House intentionally glossed over obvious terrorist links in the attack to keep voters from questioning Obama's handling of national security.

But instead of repeating his prior assertion that he was "dead set" against a Rice promotion, Graham suggested he looked forward to hearing her out. If Rice were nominated, "there will be a lot of questions asked of her about this event and others," said Graham, R-S.C.

The subtle shift in GOP tenor on Rice could be the result of internal grumblings on how far to take party opposition. Democrats picked up extra seats in the election to maintain their narrow majority, making it that much harder for the remaining 45 Republicans to block the president's nominees.

One senior GOP Senate aide said Sunday that Republicans hadn't united against Rice and were not convinced that she was worth going after.

"There's a definite sense within the caucus that you have to be conservative about where you put your firepower," said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly on internal GOP deliberations. "The question is whether the caucus is prepared to filibuster her, and I'm not sure we were."

Intelligence officials have said they knew immediately that the Sept. 11 incident was a terrorist attack and suspected that the local al-Qaida branch was involved. But they also initially believed that the attack may have grown spontaneously from a protest against the film.

Unclassified talking points provided to Rice and other administration officials in the days following the attack omitted references to terrorists and al-Qaida because intelligence officials said the information was tenuous and could tip their hand in the investigation. The administration also didn't want to prejudice a criminal investigation.

Rice said she used those talking points in Sept. 16 interviews in defending the administration's protection of overseas diplomats, saying "clusters of extremists" had "hijacked" film protests. Officials say it wasn't until after Rice spoke that intelligence agencies adjusted the assessment to clarify that the attack was not spontaneous or related to a protest.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Rice should have reviewed the raw classified intelligence and not just relied on unclassified talking points provided to her.

Graham said he remains unconvinced that Rice was relying solely on information provided to her by intelligence agencies. But Graham said he is most concerns with the broader administration's handling of the matter.

"This is about four dead Americans," he said on "This Week" on ABC. "This is about a national security failure. We need a focused look at what happened here."

Dolphins beat Seahawks on last-second FG

By STEVEN WINE

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 5:41 p.m. ET Nov. 25, 2012

MIAMI (AP) - Ryan Tannehill was hardly a rattled rookie as he stood in his end zone, contemplating the long drive the Miami Dolphins needed with the score tied and 92 seconds left.

"You're excited," he said. "You know your team needs you to step up."

Tannehill did just that, moving the Dolphins 65 yards in six plays to set up a 43-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter at the final gun, and they rallied to beat Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks 24-21 Sunday.

Tannehill had drawn criticism for mistakes down the stretch in close games, but he helped Miami score 17 points in the final 8:08. On the last drive he came through with completions of 19, 25 and 7 yards, as well as a 15-yard scramble.

"In this league you need to win some games like this," coach Joe Philbin said. "It's important for any quarterback to do that."

Tannehill pulled off his first fourth-quarter comeback victory, and the Dolphins overcame a seven-point deficit in the final period to win for the first time since 2005. Carpenter hit the winning kick on his 27th birthday to help Miami (5-6) break a three-game losing streak.

The Seahawks (6-5), unbeaten at home this year, lost for the fifth time in six road games, and coach Pete Carroll said he made poor use of last week's bye.

"I'm disappointed in all phases of the game," he said. "We didn't do the things we needed to do in the week off to get prepared. I screwed it up."

Tannehill and Miami caught a break with Seattle leading 14-7 early in the fourth quarter. Bobby Wagner intercepted a pass by Tannehill in the end zone, but the turnover was negated by a penalty on safety Earl Thomas for roughing the passer.

"I can't stop in midair like magic," Thomas said. "The NFL, they need some goggles."

Carroll called the penalty on Thomas questionable.

"He jumped up to block the pass and came down on the quarterback with no intent to hit him," Carroll said. "It was a very big call to make at that point in the game."

One play after the penalty, Daniel Thomas scored the tying touchdown on a 3-yard run. Tannehill chuckled when asked about the officials negating his turnover.

"They were looking out for me today," he said.

Leon Washington returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the eighth time to tie the NFL record and put Seattle ahead with eight minutes left. Miami answered with an 80-yard drive capped by Tannehill's 29-yard pass to Charles Clay, making it 21-21.

Wilson was the better rookie QB for much of the afternoon. He completed 16 consecutive attempts and finished with a hefty passer rating of 125.9.

"We did a lot of great things, but we did some stuff that's not characteristic of us," Wilson said.

The Seahawks lost yardage on their final three plays and were forced to punt from midfield, allowing the Dolphins to start at their own 10 with 1:32 left.

"There was no panic," Tannehill said. "Everyone felt confident out there."

Tannehill quickly moved Miami downfield and finished 18 for 26 for 253 yards and a score. He broke the Dolphins' rookie record of 2,210 yards passing set by Dan Marino in 1983.

Wilson went 21 for 27 for 224 yards and two scores, increasing his season total to 17 TD passes. He also ran for 38 yards.

With the score 14-all, Washington took a kickoff on the run, found a seam, juked past Carpenter and was in the clear to score untouched on a 98-yard return. Washington tied the career record for touchdowns on kickoff returns held by Josh Cribbs of Cleveland.

The lawn sprinklers came on between plays in the third period, causing a brief delay and drawing a roar from the amused crowd. Otherwise Miami fans had little to cheer about until the Dolphins' offense suddenly came to life in the fourth quarter after scoring only two touchdowns over the previous 13 periods.

Mindful of Miami's sputtering offense, Carroll played for field position, punting when his team had the ball at the Miami 40, 48 and 38. The conservative strategy helped keep the Dolphins pinned deep, and they started outside their 20 on only one possession.

Their touchdowns came on drives of 94, 82 and 80 yards.

"We never got rattled," said Davone Bess, who made seven receptions for a career-high 129 yards. "We just continued to stay poised, and Ryan hit the open guys."

NOTES: Seattle G James Carpenter left the game in the first half with a left knee injury. ... With Dan Carpenter's game-winning kick, Seahawks opponents improved to 17 for 17 on field-goal tries this year. ... Miami improved to 12-1 since 1997 at home against teams from the West Coast. ... The Dolphins announced that their annual cycling event raised $2.2 million for Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
