Spain's banks, government co-dependent on debt

(AP) ? The Spanish government and Spanish banks are perilously co-dependent.

The financial strength of one hinges on the other, and right now both are struggling for survival.

The Spanish economy, the fourth-largest among the 17 countries that use the euro, is suffering from the aftershocks of a real estate bust that has devastated banks and families. Unemployment is nearly 25 percent and the economy is forecast to shrink 1.7 percent in 2012.

At the request of the Spanish government, euro countries offered up to ?100 billion ($125 billion) in rescue loans for Spanish banks on June 9.

Spain made the formal petition for the aid on Monday, but the terms of the loans ? including the size and interest rates ? have yet to be agreed. They are expected to be made public by July 9 and will likely be discussed at a European Union leaders' summit that starts Thursday in Brussels.

The bank bailout, however, has only made investors more nervous about Spain's financial condition.

Although Spanish banks will agree to pay back the loans with interest, it is the Spanish government that is on the hook if they cannot. In effect, the bank loans will be treated as government debt. And as the country's debt load rises, so does the interest rate it pays to borrow money, a sign that the pool of investors hungry for Spanish bonds is shrinking.

Moody's Investor Service late Monday downgraded its credit ratings on 28 Spanish banks. Moody's said the weakening condition of the country's finances is making it more difficult for the government to support the country's lenders. The rating agency also said the banks are vulnerable to losses from Spain's busted real estate bubble.

One group of investors that isn't shying away from Spanish government bonds is Spain's banks. The amount of Spanish government debt owned by Spanish banks ? yes, the same banks that are about to receive billions in emergency loans ? is rising fast.

"It is as if the government were buying its own debt," says Alejandro Varela of Renta4, a Madrid-based brokerage. "It is like a dog chasing its own tail."

With Spain's economy enduring its second recession in just three years, analysts say the odds are rising that the government will need a bailout of its own. The yield on the country's 10-year bonds surpassed 7 percent last week, the level that pushed Ireland, Portugal and Greece to the breaking point. On Monday, the yield was 6.57 percent.

Here are some questions and answers about the tight relationship between the Spanish government and its troubled banks:

HOW DEPENDENT IS THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT ON SPANISH BANKS?

Two-thirds of Spain's government bonds are owned by the country's banks, pension funds and insurance companies. That's up from 50 percent at the end of last year. By comparison, only 38 percent of French government bonds are held by domestic banks and other financial firms.

In Spain the sharp increase in such a short period signals that foreign demand is falling fast as the country's economic outlook worsens.

Spain has issued ?50 billion in bonds since the start of the year. It plans to issue another ?36 billion by the end of 2012, bringing its total debt to ?608 billion. The economy ministry notes that demand has been strong at recent bond auctions. However, the Treasury has been careful to issue debt in small increments ? about ?2 billion at each auction. And it knows the takers will include those trusty Spanish banks.

WHY ARE SPANISH BANKS BUYING SO MUCH GOVERNMENT DEBT?

They are attracted to the high interest rate on Spanish government bonds. The interest rate, or yield, on 10-year Spanish bonds has of late been the highest it has been since the country joined the euro in 1999. It means financial markets consider Spanish bonds to be a risky investment.

The European Central Bank is making Spanish bonds even more attractive for banks. To help ease the continent's financial crisis, the ECB has provided European banks ?1 trillion in three-year loans carrying an interest rate of 1 percent. Spanish banks, which have borrowed tens of billions of euros under the ECB program, can make a tidy profit simply by pocketing the spread between the interest rates on ECB loans and Spanish bonds.

Analysts say there is another reason Spanish banks keep buying their government's debt: survival. If Spanish banks were to stop buying Spain's bonds at a time when foreign money is fleeing, the government's borrowing costs would rise even higher and so would the threat of default ? on the very bonds held by the banks.

"If something does go wrong, it is Spanish banks that will be hardest hit by that," says Jennifer McKeown of Capital Economics in London.

HOW DOES THE BAILOUT OF SPANISH BANKS ALTER THE EQUATION?

The eurozone's $125 billion package of rescue loans for Spain's troubled banks is supposed to help them deal with huge losses on real estate investments and promote economic growth by making it easier for them to lend money to companies and individuals.

But the rescue package hasn't eased jitters about the country's financial system ? it's worsened them.

Bond investors have reacted to the deal by driving the (country's) government's borrowing rates higher. That increases the likelihood that the government itself will need help from the rest of Europe to get out from under its rising debt burden.

Spain's debt as a proportion of its annual economic output was forecast to be 80 percent this year before the bank bailout existed. With the bank bailout included, the country's debt-to-GDP ratio rises to 90 percent or more, according to some private analysts. When a country's debt burden exceeds 90 percent, it's generally considered bad for an economy's health.

Spain's total debt includes bonds issued by the central, regional and local governments, plus other liabilities, such as unpaid bills to state suppliers.

Spanish banks have also been hurt by the bailout. As the interest rate on government bonds rises, the value of the bonds already owned by banks falls.

HOW MUCH GOVERNMENT DEBT DO INDIVIDUAL BANKS OWN?

Banco Santander, the largest bank by market capitalization in the euro region, holds about ?35 billion in Spanish debt, or about 3 percent of its total assets. It is considered a relatively healthy bank that will not need to tap the $125 billion emergency loan package.

Bankia, SA, which crumbled under the weight of bad real estate loans and was recently nationalized, holds almost ?17 billion in state debt, or 5.5 percent of its total assets. It is one of several big banks that will need billions in rescue loans. CatalunyaCaixa, another bank that needs rescue loans, owns ?3.9 billion in Spanish bonds, or 5 percent of its total assets.

WHAT IS THE LIKELY OUTCOME FOR SPAIN?

The tight link between the Spanish government and its banks is sustainable, but just barely, says Varela of Renta4. The interest rates on Spanish government bonds are high but manageable ? for a short while longer, he says.

Spain's bond yields were even higher before it joined the euro, but back then the economy was growing and tax revenue was increasing. Today Spain's economy is lifeless.

But the government must keep selling bonds. It needs money to finance its budget deficit and repay maturing debt.

If confidence were to drop sharply, and borrowing costs went to 8 or 9 percent, then the appetite for Spanish bonds could evaporate, even among its loyal banks.

"At some point, if people stop financing you, you default," Varela says.

But Varela is betting on a different outcome. Because of Spain's size ? it is the fourth-largest economy in the euro zone ? he believes the ECB will eventually step in to buy Spanish bonds and break the co-dependency of banks and the government.

How to Utilize Social Networking to Build Your Internet Marketing ...

Posted by Dharshana on Jun 25th, 2012 in PHP | 0 comments




pSocial networking has exploded over the course of the last half decade. What started as just a couple of networks has since become hundreds of networks. All of those networks are dedicated to helping you make connections with other people. There are networks created for helping you find people from your past. Other networks are designed to help you create professional connections. There are even networks that center around hobbies and interests. Some bigger networks were created to become homes to a number of smaller networks. Working out ways to leverage each of these different types of networks can be daunting. However, you can grow your business using social networking. You just need to be clever in your approach. br /br / You dont need to create profiles on every single social networking site. Internet marketers are notorious for creating dozens of social networking profiles. This is stupid. Why, you might ask? Because you cant create a load of profiles and expect to regularly update them all. Believe it or not, not having a profile on a network is quite a lot better than having a profile that never changes or updates. A stagnant profile shows you do not care. Not having a profile means that you?simply havent created one yet. br /br / You dont want a reputation as a spammer or as an unscrupulous marketer whos only after peoples money. That can seriously harm your future marketing efforts. Fight any urge you have to be aggressive about your marketing. There are some inherent differences to keep in mind between social networking and other types of Internet marketing. Take your time when you sign up with a new network. Before you know it, your popularity will be rising. br /br / When people send you messages on these platforms, always respond to them. Even if you dont update your profile that often, make sure you are constantly answering people. If you are willing to answer any inquiries, your contacts wont mind that you dont give frequent updates. Youll also come across as someone who cares more for the contacts they currently have than someone who just wanders onto your profile. This is a great way to get people to trust you. If they trust you, they will purchase more from you. These methods will earn you much more money. br /br / Social networking can offer you an excellent avenue for promoting your online business. With the right focus, it has the power to become one of the more lucrative aspects of your internet marketing efforts. If youre keen to begin making money online, having a network of targeted people who are highly likely to respond to your offers is key. The right social networking tactics can really enhance your internet marketing career. br /br / Visit this website for other information too:br /a href=http://www.kasabian.co.uk/it/members/profile/bobrgrs99/Kasabian empirebr //aa href=http://www.altpress.com/themoshpit/member/2976/AP magazine with European tours/a/p

Good Friends are NOT Always Good Mates: The Break-Up (Part II ...

Jun 24, 2012 by Dr. Corey Guyton

Part I discussed the challenges with starting a romantic relationship with a good friend. The question now is what happens when two friends pursue a relationship, but it does not work out? Do you remain friends or do you part ways? This topic is very important because large portions of the emails I receive and in-person discussions I have with people are about this topic.

The Reality of the Break-Up

As we discussed in part I, when two friends cross the friendship/relationship line, the nature of the friendship is compromised. Compromising a friendship to start a relationship is not a bad thing unless the relationship does not work out. The reality is that when a relationship goes bad, the friendship usually goes bad with it. I have seen this scenario play out many times and when people vent to me about this situation, they always state that they wished they could have saved their friendship.

The reason it is so hard for most people to save a friendship after breaking up is because there is no way to separate friendship emotions from relationship emotions. Here?s why. At the start of a relationship with a friend, subconsciously both people agree to place their friendship emotions into a pot with their newly found relationship emotions and stir them up to create a new set of feelings for each other. Once a relationship goes bad, the relationship emotions turn sour and since they are mixed with the friendship emotions, the whole pot of emotions are no longer any good. This would be like mixing a batch of rotten eggs in cake batter. Although the other ingredients would be healthy and fresh, the eggs would spoil the cake batter making it inedible and there would be no way to take the eggs out of the batter to make it good again.

I will not say that it is impossible to have a friendship after breaking up, but I can say that the odds of a friendship being the same as it was before the relationship would be improbable. My advice to anyone who wants to try to maintain a friendship would be to take some time away from the person and focus on rebuilding yourself so that you can truly function without being upset with your ex. Time after time, I see people working on rebuilding a friendship from the surface level, but deep within they are furious with their ex. Having fake emotions could cause torture to these individuals because they would have to hide their true feelings to try to rebuild a friendship that they wished was a relationship.

Sea rise faster on East Coast than rest of globe

WASHINGTON (AP) ? From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world's most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report.

U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 600-mile swath a "hot spot" for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

It's not just a faster rate, but at a faster pace, like a car on a highway "jamming on the accelerator," said the study's lead author, Asbury Sallenger Jr., an oceanographer at the agency. He looked at sea levels starting in 1950, and noticed a change beginning in 1990.

Since then, sea levels have gone up globally about 2 inches. But in Norfolk, Va., where officials are scrambling to fight more frequent flooding, sea level has jumped a total of 4.8 inches, the research showed. For Philadelphia, levels went up 3.7 inches, and in New York City, it was 2.8 inches.

Climate change pushes up sea levels by melting ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica, and because warmer water expands.

Computer models long have projected higher levels along parts of the East Coast because of changes in ocean currents from global warming, but this is the first study to show that's already happened.

By 2100, scientists and computer models estimate that sea levels globally could rise as much as 3.3 feet. The accelerated rate along the East Coast could add about 8 inches to 11 inches more, Sallenger said.

"Where that kind of thing becomes important is during a storm," Sallenger said. That's when it can damage buildings and erode coastlines.

On the West Coast, a National Research Council report released Friday projects an average 3-foot rise in sea level in California by the year 2100, and 2 feet in Oregon and Washington. The land mass north of the San Andreas Fault is expected to rise, offsetting the rising sea level in those two states.

The USGS study suggests the Northeast would get hit harder because of ocean currents. When the Gulf Stream and its northern extension slow down, the slope of the seas changes to balance against the slowing current. That slope then pushes up sea levels in the Northeast. It is like a see-saw effect, Sallenger theorizes.

Scientists believe that with global warming, the Gulf Stream and other ocean currents are slowing and will slow further, Sallenger said.

Jeff Williams, a retired USGS expert who wasn't part of the study, and Stefan Rahmstorf, a professor of ocean physics at the Potsdam Institute in Germany, said the study does a good job of making the case for sea level rise acceleration.

Margaret Davidson, director of the Coastal Services Center for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Charleston, S.C., said the implications of the new research are "huge when you think about it. Somewhere between Maryland and Massachusetts, you've got some bodaciously expensive property at risk."

Sea level projections matter in coastal states because flood maps based on those predictions can result in restrictions on property development and affect flood insurance rates.

Those estimates became an issue in North Carolina recently when the Legislature proposed using historic figures to calculate future sea levels, rejecting higher rates from a state panel of experts. The USGS study suggests an even higher level than the panel's estimate for 2100.

The North Carolina proposal used data from University of Florida professor Robert Dean, who had found no regional differences in sea level rise. Dean said he can't argue with the results from Sallenger's study showing accelerating sea level rise in the region, but he said it's more likely to be from natural cycles. Sallenger said there is no evidence to support that claim.

'Twisted light' carries terabits

Researchers have clocked light beams made of "twisted" waves carrying 2.5 terabits of data - the capacity of more than 66 DVDs - per second.

The technique relies on manipulating what is known as the orbital angular momentum of the waves.

Recent work suggests that the trick could vastly boost the data-carrying capacity in wi-fi and optical fibres.

The striking demonstration of the approach, reported in Nature Photonics, is likely to lead to even higher rates.

Angular momentum is a slippery concept when applied to light, but an analogy closer to home is the Earth itself.

Our planet has "spin angular momentum" because it spins on its axis, and "orbital angular momentum" because it is also revolving around the Sun.

Light can have both these types, but the spin version is the far more familiar - as what is commonly called polarisation, or the direction along which light waves wiggle. Polarising sunglasses and many 3D glasses work by passing one polarisation and not another.

In many data-carrying applications involving light, more data is packed on to light waves by encoding one polarisation with one data stream, and another with a different stream.

That means twice as much information can fit within the same "bandwidth" - the range of colours that the transmitting equipment is able to process.

Twisted mission

Orbital angular momentum, or OAM, on the other hand, has only recently come to the fore as a promising means to accomplish the same trick.

The idea is not to create light waves wiggling in different directions but rather with different amounts of twist, like screws with different numbers of threads.

Most recently, Bo Thide of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and a team of colleagues in Italy demonstrated the principle by sending beams made up of two different OAM states across a canal in Venice, an experiment they described in the New Journal of Physics.

Most data traffic in optical fibres around the world is made up of different data streams on slightly different colours of light, which are split into their constituent colours at the receiving end in a technique called multiplexing.

To fully realise OAM's potential, similar multiplexing of different "twists" must be developed.

Alan Willner and his team at the University of Southern California, along with colleagues at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Tel Aviv University, have now demonstrated one way to do that.

The team prepared two sets of four light beams, each with a set level of OAM twist, and each of the eight containing its own data stream.

The two sets were then filtered to have different polarisations, and arranged into a single beam with four streams at the centre and four in a doughnut-shape around the edge.

At the receiving end, the process is undone and the single beam was unpacked to yield its eight constituent beams, together carrying about 2.5 terabits per second.

Initial experiments were only carried out over a distance of about a metre, and Prof Willner said that challenges remained for adapting the approach to fibres or for longer-distance transfer.

"One of the challenges in this respect is turbulence in the atmosphere," he explained.

"For situations that require high capacity... over relatively short distances of less than 1km, this approach could be appealing. Of course, there are also opportunities for long-distance satellite-to-satellite communications in space, where turbulence is not an issue."

Commenting on the work in an accompanying article in Nature Photonics, Juan Torres of the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona wrote that it "contributes a new chapter to the long history of telecommunications by demonstrating the potential of OAM... for increasing the transmission capacity".

However, he said that for wider application, a number of robust tools would be needed to manipulate OAM states and to create and deliver beams made up of several of them.

"The true impact of this development in the telecommunications industry will depend on how several important issues... are addressed and solved," he wrote.

**Great Laptop For The Price $320** >>Special Buy I just bought this laptop yesterday from my local Wal-Mart store for myself. I own another Toshiba laptop that I purchased 2 years ago which now I'm giving to my children. These computers are great, haven't had any problems since I've had them. You can't beat paying a great price for a top of the line name band in electronics! 03/07/2012

Great buy! Just bought this yesterday at my local store for $328. Great speed. Lots of fun apps on it and there is an app store for Toshiba. There is also a book site that you can download books from and read them on your laptop. Easy setup good speed. I hemmed and hawed about 3gigs instead of 4 gigs, but I really don't save work info on my computer I just game and play on social internet sites. I would highly recommend this laptop. 03/17/2012

My 1st Toshiba I picked this out, because the local Wal*Mart did not have a large amount of laptops in stock in my price range.So I get this home. I like the laptop so far. I like the number pad, extra. It seems to have more then enough ram. Not to concerned about the hard drive as I have an external hard drive. The processor is fast enough for what I need. The only real problem is the speakers just don't seem to be loud enough, will be using either ear phones or a pair of external speakers.I would recommend this to my friends, wal*mart needs to carry more.... 03/18/2012

a very good computer. does everything i need to do.going to buy hubby one now.cant keep him off mine.love it.you wont go wrong buying this computer. love the price. 03/17/2012
