...While the renewed allegations of insider trading represent yet another blow to Airbus and may put more downward pressure on EADS share prices, it won't constitute a long-term threat to the company's future - especially if the A380 proves popular with airlines. However, according to Anne Maréchal, a former official with Paris's stock market now working with law firm DLA Piper, if convictions for insider trading have been very rare in France until now, there's reason to believe some may result in the EADS case. "The AMF isn't required to file a report...
...epic contest older than the Spanish civil war waged between Real Madrid and Barcelona and deeper than the glossy rivalries of the money-spinning English Premier League. India, of course, is not a football power - at home, the sport is dwarfed by cricket, which has captured the country's popular imagination and advertising revenue.

Young estimated the value of the mugs at $13,000 to $15,000, and he even offered to share the extras with his inquisitors: "I've still...
...SFMOMA exhibition, which travels later to New York City and Dallas, is Eliasson's first American museum show. It arrives at a time when he's the object of intense curiosity in U.S. art circles, largely because of The weather project, a hugely popular installation he produced four years ago for London's Tate Modern. Eliasson covered the 115-ft.-high (35 m) ceiling of the Tate's immense Turbine Hall in mirror foil, added an artificial sun of 200 yellow lightbulbs arranged behind translucent plastic and periodically filled the upper air with mist. During the installation's six-month...
