Some rare good news out of General Motors boosted the market on Friday, although only slightly, as the Dow Jones industrial average closed at 10,512.63, up a half point for the week. GM shares were up nearly 9 percent on Friday because of reports that its major union may be willing to negotiate health-care costs that the automaker has blamed for holding it down. The Nasdaq went the other direction, closing down .5 percent for the week at 2063.00.
