Euro fall against Swiss franc

The euro hit all-time lows against the Swiss franc on Wednesday, with investors increasingly nervous about the single currency's prospects given the euro zone's peripheral debt problems.

Latest blows to the euro zone's struggling, heavily-indebted economies came from Moody's, which warned it might cut Portugal's rating, and Fitch, which said the same about Greece. [ID:nTOPNEWS]

Victims of Spider-Man new movie

Monday's night performance was stopped short after an unidentified performer -- either the actor playing the title character or his stunt double -- fell about eight to 10 feet during the final moments of the show, the New York Times reported. Some equipment also fell into the audience when the fall happened.

"He fell several feet from a platform approximately seven minutes before the end of the performance, and the show was stopped," a statement from the musical said. "All signs were good as he was taken to the hospital for observation."

A police spokesman confirmed that a male actor was injured at about 10:42 p.m. and taken to Bellevue Hospital Center.

Adobe Systems Inc: profit will be 54 cents to 59 cents to share this period

Adobe Systems Inc., the top maker of graphic-design programs, rose in extended trading yesterday after saying first-quarter profit will exceeded analysts’ estimates, lifted by resurgent sales of publishing software.

Excluding some costs, profit will be 54 cents to 59 cents a share in the period ending in February, San Jose, California- based Adobe said yesterday in a statement. Analysts had estimated 51 cents on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Sales of Creative Suite 5, released in April, are rebounding from a lull earlier in the year. Adobe had cited lackluster back-to-school demand in September when it issued a forecast that trailed analysts’ predictions. Creative Suite, which includes the Photoshop and Illustrator programs, is used by graphic designers, advertising agencies and schools.

“We definitely saw demand improve,” Chief Financial Officer Mark Garrett said in an interview. “We certainly expect that to continue.”

Adobe rose $1.54, or 5.3 percent, to $30.72 in extended trading. The shares are down 21 percent this year through yesterday’s Nasdaq Stock Market close.

The company targeted first-quarter revenue of $1 billion to $1.05 billion. Analysts had predicted $991.9 million.

Julian Assange has told the BBC that he is fighting a Swedish extradition warrant because he believes "no natural justice" would occur in Sweden.

Mr Assange was speaking in an interview for the Today programme, at the mansion in East Anglia where he is staying under strict bail conditions.

The Wikileaks founder suggested the two women who have accused him of sexual assault had got into a "tizzy".

Mr Assange denies the allegations and says the case is politically motivated.

The 39-year-old is free on bail in the UK while facing the extradition proceedings to Sweden and staying in Norfolk.

Massachusetts narrowly hung onto all 10 of its House seats a decade ago after losing a seat in 1990.

On Tuesday that number could drop to nine.

That's when the Census Bureau releases state population totals that dictate how the nation reapportions all 435 House districts to the states.

US military and Pakistan raids

The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan on Tuesday denied reports that American forces are pushing to expand special operations raids into tribal areas of neighboring Pakistan where Islamist militants are known to find refuge.

NATO's deputy chief of communications, U.S. Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, said there was no truth to a report published in The New York Times.

Citing unnamed American officials in Washington, the Times reported on its website late Monday that U.S. military commanders believe special operations forces could capture militants for interrogation, bringing in an intelligence windfall.

Government's strongest move over the Internet

Federal regulators are poised to enact controversial new rules affecting Internet access, marking the government's strongest move yet to ensure that Facebook updates, Google searches and Skype calls reach consumers' homes unimpeded.

Under the regulations, companies that carry the Internet into American homes would not be allowed to block Web sites that offer rival services, nor would they be permitted to play favorites by dividing delivery of Internet content into fast and slow lanes.
