...future is not, however, much brighter at Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent, the largest maker of fixed-line networks. Alcatel merged with Lucent Technologies in 2006 in a move intended to grow market share, but it has since axed from payroll 17,500 employees, including its ousted American CEO, Patricia Russo, in what has turned into a restructuring and cultural nightmare. "There are no bronze medals in the telecom-equipment market," says analyst Duncan Stewart of Toronto-based DSAM Consulting. He says Silicon Valley's Cisco Systems and Sweden's Ericsson have the biggest market share, fattest margins and most cash...
That doesn't mean the value won't grow. Berman notes that a time-share unit he purchased in Colorado in 1997 for less than $40,000 is now worth more than $125,000 in the resale market. He emphasizes that an appreciation of three times the purchase price is the exception, not the norm. Still, it must make his ski vacations even more enjoyable...

...vaccine may also prove easier to develop since all it requires is an accurate genetic sequence of three critical virus genes. That could especially help with swine flu, since researchers found back in the 1970s that the virus doesn't grow well in chicken eggs; that could slash the yield and slow production of a potential new vaccine. "As long as we get the genetic sequence of some viral proteins, it doesn't matter where the virus came from - human, swine or bird," says Singhvi. So far, Novavax's shot is still in the testing phase, but its VLP-based...
