Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:06:44 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The intimate, funny-sad musical “Kimberly Akimbo” nudged aside splashier rivals on Sunday to win the musical crown at the Tony Awards on a night when Broadway flexed its creative muscle amid the Hollywood writers’ strike and made history with laurels for nonbinary actors J. Harrison Ghee and Alex Newell.“Kimberly Akimbo,” with songs by Jeanine Tesori and a book by David Lindsay-Abaire, follows a teen with a rare genetic disorder that gives her a life expectancy of 16 navigating a dysfunctional family and a high school romance. Victoria Clark, as the lead in the show, added a second Tony to her trophy case, having previously won one in 2005 for “The Light in the Piazza.”Producer David Stone credited the musical’s writers for penning a magic trick, calling “Kimberly Akimbo” a “musical comedy about the fragility of life, so healing and so profound and joyous that is almost impossible.” The musical took home a leading five awards, including best book and score.Earl...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:06:44 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mixed in Asia on Monday after the S&P 500 logged its fourth winning week in a row, while investors await another decision by the Federal Reserve on interest rates.Most observers expect no change in rates given recent data showing the U.S. economy slowing. This week also brings price data that might indicate whether the Fed is succeeding in snuffing inflation. Friday also will bring a policy meeting of the Bank of Japan, which has refrained from making any major changes to its minus 0.1% benchmark interest rate despite rising prices, citing a need to wait and see if the inflation is sustained. Tokyo’s benchmark NIkkei 225 added 0.3% to 32,362.58, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong gave up 0.6% to 19,279.66. In Seoul, the Kospi declined 0.5% to 2,627.52. The Shanghai Composite index slipped 0.3% to 3,222.35. Shares rose in Taiwan and India but fell in Bangkok. Australian markets were closed for a holiday.

Political collateral? Oregon GOP walkout on ‘culture war’ bill threatens billions in school funds

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:06:44 GMT

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Funding for schools, literacy programs and special education teachers in Oregon — a state where 60% of third graders can’t read at grade level — could be jeopardized by a Republican walkout that has stalled hundreds of bills and derailed the Legislature for nearly six weeks.The standoff over a bill that would expand access to abortion and gender-affirming health care could scuttle much-needed education funding in a year when the stars seemed to align for Oregon’s budget. Tax revenues have exceeded state economists’ projections, allowing lawmakers to approve a record K-12 budget of $10.2 billion. But the education spending legislation needs a vote from the Senate, which hasn’t been able to conduct business since May 3 because of the GOP boycott, and time is running out, with just two weeks left until the legislative session ends.“Supporting strong schools and improving student outcomes should be enough to make anyone show up for work,” De...

Iraq’s parliament approves budget, ending dispute over oil revenue sharing with Kurdish region

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:06:44 GMT

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s parliament belatedly approved a record $152 billion budget for 2023 on Monday, after months of wrangling over the sharing of oil revenue between the central government in Baghdad and the semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdish region in the north. The process was also hampered by infighting between different Iraqi Kurdish parties. The budget — approved six months into the fiscal year and after four chaotic late-night voting sessions — allocates 12.6% of the revenue to the Kurdish region and is seen as strengthening Baghdad’s hand on the oil revenues. The central government in Baghdad and the Kurdish regional government in the city of Irbil have been locked in a dispute over oil revenue for years, while competing Kurdish parties are also at loggerheads over their shares.In the absence of a binding law detailing the sharing of funds from oil and gas exports, the Kurdish region has moved ahead with exports on its own, while Baghdad has maintained that all exports shou...

Pope Francis' recovery from surgery is going well but doctors advised him not to deliver his Sunday blessing from a hospital balcony to avoid strain on his abdomen.Briefing reporters at the Gemelli hospital on Saturday, chief surgeon Sergio Alfieri also said the 86-year-old had agreed with doctors to stay there for at least all of next week.Francis underwent a three-hour operation to repair an abdominal hernia on Wednesday (7 June)."Only three days have passed. We asked the Holy Father to be prudent and avoid the strain (of standing at the balcony)," Alfieri said. "Each time he gets out of bed and sits in an armchair puts stress on the abdominal walls."A mesh prosthetic was inserted into the abdominal wall to help it heal and doctors want it to settle and attach properly to avoid another operation if it breaks, he added."You can understand how that would not be pleasing for him, and for me," Alfieri joked.PORTUGAL, MONGOLIA TRIPS STILL ON SCHEDULEVatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni sa...

Residents of an Upland neighborhood are on edge after a series of attempted break-ins over the weekend, with one person waking up to someone trying to kick the door of his home in.  Home surveillance cameras captured what appears to be the same man banging on different doors in the neighborhood and then running off when he sees either the video doorbell or realizes that someone is inside the home.  The suspect does the same thing at least three times Friday night on Ukiah Way in Upland. Neighbors told KTLA that there were also three to four other people inside a car on the street that was waiting for the suspected robber.  One resident, Richard Castellano, said the man his surveillance cameras captured appeared to be casing the street before them approaching his front door. “The gentleman who was at my door was in a hoodie and sweats, and he saw my doorbell ring and the light went off and he took off. So, I was very fortunate,” he said. “You hear about this happe...
