Bernanke Fed action hints boost US stocks
New York - AFP
Ben Bernanke\'s much-anticipated endorsement of more Federal Reserve stimulus Friday gave stocks a solid boost, though tempered by his picture of an economy that remains weak and vulnerable. At the close the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 90.13 points (0.69 percent) at 13,090.84. The broad-based S&P 500 rose 7.09 (0.51 percent) to 1,406.57, while the tech-rich Nasdaq climbed 18.25 (0.60 percent) to 3,066.98. In his keenly awaited speech to central bankers, Bernanke warned that stagnation in the US labor market was \"a grave concern\" and signaled he would be pushing for more help for the economy when the Fed\'s policy board meets in 12 days.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
