World stocks fall as Europe debt crisis festers (AP)

BANGKOK ? Asian stocks fell Wednesday after a meeting of Europe's finance ministers failed to stem fears that the euro currency union is hurtling toward a breakup. Banking stocks slumped after some of the world's top financial institutions were slapped with a credit rating downgrade.

Benchmark oil hovered below $99 per barrel and the dollar rose against the euro but fell against the yen.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index dropped 1.2 percent to 8,376.45 and South Korea's Kospi shed 0.7 percent to 1,841.79. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 1.9 percent to 17,911.21. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell marginally to 4,099.

Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China were also lower. Indonesia, Malaysia and New Zealand rose.

Sentiment was dented after a meeting in Brussels of finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro ended without an announcement on plans to contain the debt crisis that is threatening to shatter the currency union.

The ministers sent debt-riddled Greece euro8 billion ($10.7 billion) to stem an immediate cash crisis, but they kicked more difficult issues ? such as whether countries should cede some control over their finances to a central European authority ? to the leaders of the European Union who meet next week.

In the latest sign of trouble, Italy was forced to pay a high interest rate on an auction of three-year debt Tuesday. The 7.89 percent rate was nearly three percentage points higher than last month, an enormous increase.

If Italy were to default on its debt of euro1.9 trillion ($2.5 trillion), the fallout could spell ruin for the euro common currency and send shock waves through the global economy. Such a prospect has left little appetite for risky assets.

Analysts at Credit Agricole CIB said in a report that "until concrete and detailed plans for a solution to the crisis are announced, the downward trend" in stocks will continue.

Ratings downgrades for many of the world's largest banks also drove investors to the sidelines, analysts said. Standard & Poor's on Tuesday lowered its credit ratings for 37 financial companies, including Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and HSBC Holdings PLC.

"The downgrade is affecting local stock market sentiment," said Dickie Wong, executive director of research at Kingston Securities Ltd. in Hong Kong. "I believe it gives pressure on the international banking sector, and some local banks will probably be down quite a bit today."

Hong Kong-listed Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, the world's largest bank by market value, fell 2.3 percent. Japan's Mizuho Financial Group lost 2 percent and Hong Kong shares of British bank HSBC Holdings fell 2.6 percent.

Insurance companies also fell. Hong Kong-listed China Life Insurance Co., the country's biggest life insurer, lost 3.5 percent. Ping An Insurance fell 5 percent. Japan's Tokio Marine Holdings shed 2.2 percent.

On Wall Street on Tuesday, a jump in U.S. consumer confidence sent stocks modestly higher. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.3 percent to close at 11,555.63. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.2 percent to 1,195.19. The Nasdaq composite, which consists mostly of technology stocks, fell 0.5 percent to 2,515.51.

The Conference Board, a private research firm, said its Consumer Confidence Index climbed 15 points in November to 56.0 ? an improvement, but still well below the level of 90 that indicates an economy on solid footing.

Benchmark crude for January delivery was down 63 cents to $99.16 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.58 to settle at $99.79 on Tuesday.

In currency trading, the euro slipped to $1.3328 from $1.3331 late Tuesday in New York. The dollar slipped to 77.88 yen from 77.93 yen.

Samsung Captivate Glide (AT&T)

AT&T has plenty of smartphones, but it doesn't have plenty of keyboarded smartphones. Sure, there's the Sharp FX Plus?(Free, 3.5 stars) and the RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810?($49.99, 3 stars), but neither of those devices are particularly cutting edge. Enter the Samsung Captivate Glide ($149.99 with contract). It's a lot like the popular Samsung Galaxy S II?(4.5 stars, $199.99), with the addition of a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a slight bump down in specs. It's our Editors' Choice for keyboarded smartphones on AT&T.

Physical Features, Phone Calls, and Internet
The Captivate Glide measures 4.9 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.2 ounces. Made out of lightly textured black plastic, the Glide looks unassuming, but feels well built and comfortable in your hand.

The 4-inch, 800-by-480-pixel Super AMOLED display is gorgeous. It has fewer subpixels than the Super AMOLED Plus display on the Galaxy S II, but it still looks excellent. The screen can get very bright, but darker colors maintain a luxurious depth and richness. Four haptic feedback-enabled functions keys sit beneath the display, which are suitably responsive. Typing on the on-screen QWERTY was fine, but I suspect most people are looking to the Glide for the real thing. The phone slides open to reveal a large, four-row physical keyboard. The keys are large and backlit, with comfortable, even spacing. They're a bit flat, but it shouldn't take long to adjust to typing on them.

The Glide is a good voice phone. Reception is average, and calls sound rich, clear, and natural in the phone's earpiece. The speakerphone also sounds good but volume doesn't go loud enough to use outdoors. Calls made with the phone are clear, though voices can sound thin and background noise cancellation is just average. I had no trouble connecting to a?Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset ($129.99, 4.5 stars) and calls sounded great. Thankfully, voice dialing works better here, using Android's native voice-dialing app, than it does on the Galaxy S II, which uses a version of Vlingo that had difficulty recognizing names.

The Glide is a world phone that uses AT&T's HSPA+ 21 network and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. It also works as a Wi-Fi hotspot with the right service plan. Download speeds averaged 4Mbps down, with peak speeds of 8Mbps, while uploads were around 1Mbps up. Those numbers are good, but they're no match for AT&T's blazing 4G LTE speeds on devices like the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket?($249.99, 4.5 stars). This isn't too big a deal, though, because AT&T only has LTE in 14 cities right now. Battery life was excellent, at 10 hours 3 minutes of continuous talk time.

Processor and Apps
The Captivate Glide is powered by Nvidia's 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor. It scored well in our benchmark tests, easily overpowering single-core devices, though not quite at the top of the dual-core heap.

The phone runs Android 2.3.5 "Gingerbread" with Samsung's TouchWiz extensions. There are some useful add-on apps, including Media Hub, a downloadable music and video store with reasonable prices, and Social Hub, a combination Facebook/Twitter client. There's also some bloatware from AT&T, including FamilyMap and the U-Verse Live TV app, which are both deletable. Other apps, like AT&T Navigator and an AT&T 'Featured Apps' store, are not. The Glide should be compatible with most everything in the Android Market, which currently has over 250,000 apps.

Seagate outs second-gen Momentus XT: a 750GB hybrid laptop drive for $189 (update: actually $245)

Seagate was quick to jump into the hybrid HDD/SSD fray last year, with the decently priced and capable Momentus XT. Now we have a successor with identical branding, but with the HDD upped to 742GB, NAND storage slightly increased to 8GB, plus a faster SATA III 6Gb/s interface. The 'flash-assisted drive' promises to cut boot-up and lag times compared to a standard laptop hard disk, by gradually learning which of your files are popular enough to deserve a spot in that solid state VIP lounge. We're looking at a price of $189 $245, including a five-year warranty, and availability from today. Read on the full PR.

Update: The press release sent to us stated $189, but the one that's now live on Seagate's site (at the source link) says $245, so we're switching to that. Thanks to everyone who spotted this.

Leinart hurt, but Texans hold on to beat Jags

By MARK LONG

updated 7:36 p.m. ET Nov. 27, 2011

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Matt Leinart and Matt Schaub stood next to each other for the final few snaps, Leinart in a sling and Schaub in a walking boot.

The scene spoke volumes about Houston's quarterback situation and playoff chances.

If the Texans are going to make the postseason for the first time in franchise history, they probably will have to do it with a third-string quarterback.

Leinart injured his throwing shoulder Sunday at Jacksonville, overshadowing Houston's 20-13 victory against the offensively inept Jaguars. Leinart believes he broke his collarbone, but coach Gary Kubiak said initial X-rays were inconclusive.

"There's a pretty strong possibility I probably won't be coming back this season," Leinart said. "It's pretty disappointing. It's tough to swallow, but we'll just move forward. Everything that's happened to me, this was a great opportunity. ... It's unfortunate, but I'm not going to give up. It's not my nature. I'll just keep moving forward and figure this thing out one step at a time."

Assuming Leinart is done for the season, it would be a serious setback for a team that is closing in on its first AFC South title. Sure, the Texans have one of the league's best running games. But as Jacksonville showed, Arian Foster and Ben Tate will have a tough time carrying the load against eight- and nine-man fronts.

Foster ran for 65 yards and a score. Tate added 26 yards on the ground. Along with Leinart's perfect touchdown pass to Joel Dreessen and a defensive effort that included seven sacks ? Connor Barwin had four of them ? it was enough for Houston to win its fifth consecutive game.

But with Schaub (foot) and Leinart out, the Texans are down to T.J. Yates and newly signed Kellen Clemens.

Yates completed 8 of 15 passes for 70 yards in relief of Leinart, doing just enough to help the Texans beat the Jaguars (3-8). Houston led 20-10 at halftime, but managed just 47 yards and two first downs in the second half.

"I feel for Matt. He was playing good," Yates said. "If there's one thing that this team knows how to do, it's deal with adversity. We've taken an injury almost every game of the year and the team has rallied around each other and found a way to win."

Jacksonville's quarterback situation was a mess, too.

Coach Jack Del Rio benched rookie Blaine Gabbert in the fourth quarter, after six sacks and an interception. Luke McCown led the team to a late field goal, but his fourth-down pass with about a minute remaining fell incomplete.

Del Rio said Gabbert remains the team's starter.

"Offensively, we just are struggling to generate enough productivity to have any fun," Del Rio said. "It's tough to win in this league when you're not scoring. ... We are working hard at it, but we are just not making enough plays."

Leinart, making his first start in two years, was hit hard by defensive end Jeremy Mincey late in the second quarter. He went to the sideline, headed to the locker room for tests and did not return.

Leinart completed 10 of 13 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown, a 20-yard pass to Dreessen under heavy pressure. He got hurt on the next possession.

Yates replaced him and drove the Texans into position for a field goal that put them ahead 20-10 at the break.

Jacksonville outgained Houston 255-215 in total yards. But Josh Scobee missed a 55-yard field goal and tight end Marcedes Lewis dropped a pass in the end zone with no one around him. It was the latest in a growing list of drops for the former Pro Bowl tight end. His latest one prompted Jacksonville to settle for a short field goal.

"It was a leak here, a leak there and we never really got clicking," guard Uche Nwaneri said.

McCown, named the starter five days before the season opener and then benched after two games, was 7 of 11 passing for 62 yards in two series. Gabbert was 13 of 29 for 136 yards.

Maurice Jones-Drew was the lone bright spot for Jacksonville's offense. He ran 18 times for 99 yards and caught four passes for 67 more.

"A quarterback is only as good as the players around him," Jones-Drew said. "When they pull your quarterback, they are saying something about you. It's not the quarterback. We have to continue to work to get better with whoever is going to be the starter next week."

Jacksonville's only touchdown came on Ashton Youboty's 38-yard fumble return on the opening series. Foster fumbled for the first time in 172 carries this season, coughing up the ball on Paul Posluszny's tackle.

Foster bounced back with a 43-yard gain on the next possession and later scored on a 1-yard plunge. It was his fifth consecutive game with a rushing touchdown.

"I'm very proud of this team," Kubiak said. "It's hard to win in this league, and when you face some of the adversity we've faced and will be facing again, and to continue to find a way to win, that's a sign of a very solid football team."

Notes: Texans WR Andre Johnson, back in the starting lineup after missing six games because of a hamstring injury, caught two passes for 22 yards. ... Rackers' 53-yard FG tied the franchise record. ... Jaguars C Brad Meester played in his 172nd career game, breaking the previous franchise record held by Jimmy Smith. ... Jones-Drew has 1,040 yards rushing, his third consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Worthwhile Canadian Initiative: What is actuarially fair insurance?

Actuarially fair insurance has an expected net pay-off of zero. From a consumer's point of view, an insurance contract is actuarially fair if the premiums paid are equal to the expected value of the compensation received. This expected value is, in turn, defined as the probability of the insured-against event occurring multiplied by the compensation received in the event of a loss.

Actuarially fair insurance is not necessarily complete. Complete insurance pays compensation equal to the harm caused by an accident, leaving the person just as well off as he would have been had the accident not occurred. For example, it might take $10,000 to compensate a car lover for the psychological harm caused by someone deliberately scratching the paintwork of his beloved antique MX-6. Complete insurance would cover that $10,000 harm. Actuarially fair insurance may or may not cover that harm, but it is still fair, as long as the premiums paid are equal to the probability of experiencing deliberate scratching of paintwork times the benefits paid out in the event of paintwork scratching.

Economists most frequently define actuarial fairness from the point of view of the consumer. Yet this definition implies that actuarially fair insurance can never exist. As Nicolson and Snyder's Intermediate Micro text informs students, "No insurance company can afford to sell insurance at?actuarially fair?premiums." Insurance companies have administrative costs. If they paid out everything that they received in premiums in compensation to customers experiencing losses, they could not cover their other costs of doing business.

The reason why economists define actuarial fairness from the consumer's point of view is that it yields useful predictions about consumer behaviour. For example, if actuarially fair?insurance is available, a risk averse consumer - one who doesn't like risks - ?will always purchase?complete insurance, insuring herself fully against any losses. True, this type of actuarially fair insurance is an ideal that never exists in the real world. But like that other ideal, the perfectly competitive market, it is analytically convenient (translation: the math is easier), and provides a useful benchmark, a standard against which to judge real-world insurance contracts.

Yet when we define actuarially fair insurance from the consumer's point of view, we have no expression for an insurance contract that is actuarially fair from the insurer's point of view, one where the premiums paid by customers are equal to the expected cost of insurance claims plus administrative costs.

An insurance policy that provides the insurer with an expected payoff of zero has interesting properties. The insurance company makes zero economic profits. No one group of customers subsidizes any other group of customers, which means that the insurance company does not redistribute income ex ante.?(Insurance still redistributes income ex post, from those who do not experience a loss to those who do).?From a policy point of view, this alternative definition of actuarial fairness - actuarially fair from the point of view of the insurer - is frequently useful. After all, why spend time talking about insurance that is actuarially fair from the consumer's point of view, when we know that such insurance cannot exist?

Some writers do, in fact, define actuarial fairness from the point of view of the insurer. For example, Econport.org?writes "for?insurance to be actuarially fair, the insurance company should have zero expected profits." University of Toronto philosophy professor Joseph Heath seems to have this same definition in mind in his analysis of the moral implications of subsidies from one group of insurance companies to another. He writes, "it does not really matter whether it is just or unjust to charge actuarially fair premiums, it is necessary for insurers to do so if they wish to remain solvent." The fair-for-insurer definition of actuarial fairness is also implicit in statements such as?this one:?"An individual with spina bifida might be able to purchase an?actuarially fair, albeit expensive insurance?policy?to provide care for the condition..."

It is surprisingly difficult to find clear definitions of actuarial fairness. There is no Wikipedia entry for "actuarially fair" or "actuarial fairness," perhaps because actuaries themselves appear to prefer betting language, talking about "fair odds". (Thinking about it, from an actuary's point of view, the adjective "actuarial" is redundant.) Where economists talk about actuarial fairness, insurers are more likely to draw a distinction between community rating, where all members of a community pay the same premium, even if some face a greater risk of loss than others, and individual risk rating, which is similar to what I have defined as "actuarially fair from the point of view of insurers."

Economics texts or articles often assume the reader knows what actuarial fairness means, and do not define it. Perhaps this reflects the profession's reluctance to talk about issues of fairness or equity - prices are what they are. The analysis of insurance and pension markets is one the few occasions when economists talk about "fair" prices. Even there, the "fair" price is the one that involves no ex ante?redistribution. ?

This lack of clarity is unfortunate, however, because insurance - for health, or for old age, in the form of pensions - is an issue of critical policy importance. If our language is imprecise, our thinking will be imprecise also.

HT to B., whose question forced me to clarify my own thinking about this topic.?

Anne Teschner brings Shakespeare, Plato, and high academic goals to teen mothers

The Care Center, in Holyoke, Mass., uses private school and even college coursework to challenge teen moms to aim higher.

There was something, Anne Teschner says, about seeing the facts in black and white.

Skip to next paragraph

That was the motivation behind founding The Care Center in Holyoke, Mass,. in 1986 after a state report was released about the high teen pregnancy rate in Holyoke. At that time, the rate there was five times the national average.

When The Center opened, it had 20 teen mothers as students. Ms. Teschner came on board as executive director in 1997, and The Center now takes more than 120 students each year.

The Center helps teen mothers who have dropped out of high school, but want to complete their GED, the high-school equivalency test. Class sizes are kept small, and there?s a daycare center on site.

But this is no ordinary teen shelter: Currently, between 70 and 85 percent of its graduates go on to college.

Courses for college credit are also available at The Center, including The Clemente Course in the Humanities, which focuses on art history, literature, and philosophy. Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., gives the credit for the course. The Center also works with Holyoke Community College and Elms College in Chicopee, Mass., to create college courses and give students credit for completion.

Expecting that teen mothers can set, and meet, high educational goals for themselves is the goal. One of the most difficult challenges the 24 staff members face, Teschner says, is getting past students? beliefs that they have somehow gone wrong in life.

?One of the ideas we had to break down is, 'you?re a teen mom, you?re a failure,' ? she says. ?They hear the message that if you?re a teen mother, you?ve closed a lot of doors ? and our take on it was, why don?t we open some of those doors??

The courses at The Care Center have subject matter that many would not expect, including classes that focus on Shakespeare and Plato. Integrating such classical authors began as an experiment, Teschner says.

Her idea was ?Let?s see what happens if we do a six-week workshop on Plato,? she says. ?Maybe everyone will run out the door screaming. But they didn?t.?

Some staff and students first opposed including classic authors and classes such as poetry and creative writing in the curriculum. They didn't think the subjects would be practical.

?Some staff left,? Teschner says. ?They said, ?The girls have enough on their plate. They?re on welfare. They have babies?. Some of the students were very dubious. They said, ?This [author] is some white guy, and I need a job.? ?

But Teschner says the courses have since succeeded, becoming popular with students. The Care Center has added a course on religion, inspired by the students, that?s also gone over well.

?We heard students talking about big spiritual questions,? she says. ?And especially if you just had a baby, those questions are front and center.?

On Nov. 2 The Center, which receives state and local government funding and private donations, was given the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, presented by Michelle Obama. It was recognized from a group of almost 500 nominations. The award includes a $10,000 donation to the Center.

Teschner said receiving the award felt like an affirmation.

?It was so wonderful to have the White House ratify what we?re doing,? she says. ?Both for us, but also to spotlight what other people are doing in other cities working with teens.?

The Center will be adding a fencing course to its athletics roster for the spring, and it wants to add more college courses.

The ultimate dream? Opening an all-women community college.

Teschner also hopes that public schools will be inspired by The Center?s success in adopting methods used by private schools to achieve results.

?What goes on in a private school works,? she says. ?Why don?t we do it in a public school??

PFT: Vick, Maclin, Asomugha miss practice

Ryan Mathews,  Nick RoachAP

We handle the biggest injury news all day in the rumor mill.?

The rest goes right here, in America?s most popular injury segment that always listens to the National Anthem.

1. Kevin Kolb is officially questionable after being limited in practice all week with his toe injury. ?We won?t know his status until gametime, but signs are pointing towards Kolb playing.

2. The Rams? two best defenders are questionable.?Linebacker James Laurinaitis (foot) and defensive end Chris Long (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion during the week, so they should play.

3. The Bills have a sadly big list of starters that are out this week. Some of the players are already on injured reserve, but we?ll reprint here: Running back?Fred Jackson (fibula), wideout Donald Jones (ankle), kicker Rian Lindell (shoulder), cornerback Terrence McGee (knee), and safety George Wilson (neck) are out. ?Backup wide receiver Naaman Roosevelt (shoulder) is also out.

4. The Jets are healthy, with the exception of kick returner?Jeremy Kerley (knee) and running back LaDainian Tomlinson (knee). Both are questionable, but they didn?t practice all week.

5. Tight end Dallas Clark (fibula) is out once again. Running back Joseph Addai (hamstring) should be back after practicing fully all week.

6. The Raiders will be without?wide receiver Jacoby Ford (foot), running back Darren McFadden (foot), and defensive end Jarvis Moss (hamstring). ?Half the team is questionable, including two players that didn?t practice all week: running back?Taiwan Jones (hamstring) and wide receiver Denarius Moore (foot).

7. A few extra days off did the Broncos some good. The entire active roster should be available to face San Diego.

8. The Chargers got some good news on Friday. Running back Ryan Mathews (knee) is probable despite missing practice Thursday, and their best pass rusher Shaun Phillips (foot) was upgraded to questionable this week.

The bad news:?Defensive end Luis Castillo (tibia), wideout Malcom Floyd (hip), and tackle Marcus McNeill (neck) are all still out. Two other guards are doubtful. The offensive line is in bad shape.

9. Andre Johnson (hamstring) is officially probable as he returns from his lengthy injury. ?He should be happy about his matchup with Jacksonville because . . .

10. The Jaguars defense is banged up. Cornerback Derek Cox went on injured reserve Friday. Fellow starter Rashean Mathis is already there. Defensive line starters?Terrance Knighton (ankle) and Matt Roth (concussion) are both out.

11. The Falcons will be short in the secondary. Luckily, they are playing the Vikings. ?Cornerback Kelvin Hayden (toe) is out and cornerback Brent Grimes (knee)?is questionable despite not practicing all week.

12. Patriots wideout?Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) is officially questionable after missing practice Friday. There are nine other Patriots that are questionable, but they all practiced in a limited fashion during the week. Linebacker Brandon Spikes (knee) remains out.

13. Redskins receiver Santana Moss (hand) is back in the mix. He?s probable.

14. The Steelers list linebacker?LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) as questionable, but there is doubt locally that he?ll suit up.
