Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:57 GMT

It was a triumphant homecoming for Molly Tuttle.The Palo Alto native, who is based in Nashville now and whose fame skyrocketed with her big Grammy night earlier this year, would wow fans during the first of two sold-out shows on Saturday (April 1) at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park — located just minutes from where she grew up, went to high school and learned to play music.“I am so happy the Guild exists,” Tuttle remarked to the crowd. “It’s so nice to have a theater I can play when I come home.”The vocalist-guitarist and her superb Golden Highway band used the evening to nicely showcase “Crooked Tree,” performing 10 of the 13 tracks from this 2023 best bluegrass album Grammy winner.The rest of the 21-song set featured a well-chosen mix of covers, older material and new songs.Following an opening set from talented Italian country-blues artist Cristina Vane, Tuttle and the four-piece Golden Highway appeared onstage and kicked things off with ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:57 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Monaco’s teenage talent made the difference as it rallied to beat Strasbourg 4-3 in the French league on Sunday to move three points behind third-place Marseille in the chase for a Champions League spot.Finishing third means entry into the qualifying rounds while second place guarantees automatic qualification for the Champions League.

But the Principality side hit back strongly with second-half goals from 18-year-old midfielders Eliesse Ben Seghir and Edan Diop, before France midfielder Youssouf Fofana made it 4-2 in the 66th.

Man United stumbles at Newcastle, top-4 EPL spot not assured

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:57 GMT

It wasn’t long ago that Manchester United was being talked up, somewhat optimistically, as a potential outsider for the Premier League title.Now, even a top-four finish is looking far from assured for a club up for sale and seeking Champions League qualification as another attraction for potential buyers.United’s 2-0 loss at Newcastle on Sunday further intensified the race for the two likely spots behind Arsenal and Manchester City, the Premier League’s runaway top two, in Europe’s top competition next season.Second-half goals by Joe Willock and Callum Wilson gave Newcastle partial revenge for its loss to United in the English League Cup final on Feb. 26 and lifted the Saudi-controlled northeast team into third place, above United on goal difference. Tottenham is a point behind both teams in fifth place ahead of its game at Everton on Monday.For United, it’s just one point — a 0-0 home draw with struggling Southampton — from a possible nine in its last ...

Bulgarian vote too early to call, narrow lead for reformists

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:57 GMT

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — A reformist coalition led by former Prime Minister Kiril Petkov is the likely winner of Bulgaria’s parliamentary election after exit poll results showed it placing first on Sunday.The exit poll conducted by the Gallup International pollster showed the coalition between the We Continue the Change party and the right-wing Democratic Bulgaria with 25.3 %, apparently edging out the center-right GERB party ex-premier Boyko Borissov on 24.7 %.Initial results are expected on Monday, but it could take days before the final official results are announced. If they confirm the exit poll, Petkov’s coalition will be handed a mandate to form a cabinet.It looks, however, that it will be an uphill task for him to find allies to form a governing coalition in a fragmented parliament.In their first comments, political analysts predicted that the results, which do not differ significantly from the previous four elections held within the last two years, could lead to a viable coal...

Saudis, other oil giants announce surprise production cuts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:57 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia and other major oil producers on Sunday announced surprise cuts totaling 1.15 million barrels per day from May until the end of the year, a move that could raise prices worldwide.Higher oil prices would help fill Russian President Vladimir Putin’s coffers as his country wages war on Ukraine and force Americans and others to pay even more at the pump amid inflation fueled in part by that conflict.It was also likely to further strain ties with the United States, which has called on Saudi Arabia and other allies to increase production as it tries to bring prices down and squeeze Russia’s finances.The Saudi Energy Ministry said its own reduction of 500,000 barrels per day would be made in coordination with some OPEC and non-OPEC members, without naming them. The cuts are in addition to a reduction announced last October that infuriated the Biden administration.The ministry described the move as a “precautionary measure” aimed a...

NEW YORK (AP) — San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strain in the middle of his back.The move was made retroactive to March 31, and the team recalled right-handed reliever Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento before its series finale against the New York Yankees.Bart was scratched from the lineup Saturday with back tightness, and manager Gabe Kapler said a scan showed a “very small” mid-back strain.“We don’t expect it to be a long-term thing. It feels more short term,” Kapler said. “We discussed the possibility of like, seven days. Maybe a few more.”Versatile rookie Blake Sabol was set to start behind the plate Sunday at Yankee Stadium. The 25-year-old Sabol was selected by Cincinnati from Pittsburgh in the Rule 5 draft for unprotected players at the winter meetings and then traded to San Francisco hours later.He made his major league debut on opening day and started the first two games of the season in left field, but Sab...

Switzerland’s Federal Prosecutor has opened an investigation into the state-backed takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS Group, the office of the attorney general said Sunday.The prosecutor, based in the Swiss capital Bern, is looking into potential breaches of the country’s criminal law by government officials, regulators and executives at the two banks, which agreed on an emergency merger last month to avoid a meltdown in the country’s financial system.There were “numerous aspects of events around Credit Suisse” that warranted investigation and which needed to be analyzed to “identify any criminal offenses that could fall within the competence of the [prosecutor],” it said in a statement.“The Office of the Attorney General wants to proactively fulfill its mandate and responsibility to contribute to a clean Swiss financial center and has set up a monitoring system so that it can take action immediately on any issues that fall within its ar...
