TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index advanced on Friday as hopes for continued U.S. Federal Reserve stimulus measures fueled widespread gains and helped offset a steep decline in BlackBerry
Despite the gain on the last trading day of the second quarter, the index looked set to record its biggest quarterly decline in a year.
BlackBerry shares fell 25 percent after its quarterly report offered few signs of a long-promised turnaround. The company posted an unexpected operating loss and gave few details on sales of its make-or-break new line of smartphones, and did not signal a return to profit in the current quarter.
Giving the market support, data showed Japan's consumer prices stopped falling in May and labor demand reached its strongest level in five years.
Investors also continued to take heart from a Federal Reserve official's comments on Thursday that the U.S. central bank's asset purchases would be more aggressive than it outlined last week if U.S. economic growth and the labor market are weaker than expected.
"The Fed and (Fed Chairman) Ben Bernanke are starting to see some shoots of growth happen," said Arthur Salzer, executive director and chief executive of Northland Wealth Management.
"They will moderate (the stimulus rollback) and slowly begin to implement it," he added. "The markets are starting to come to grips with that."
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index <.gsptse> was up 146.76 points, or 1.22 percent, at 12,152.54.
Nine of the 10 main sectors on the index were higher.
The materials sector, which includes mining stocks, added 3.7 percent. Gold mining shares jumped 5.6 percent as the price of bullion climbed.
Goldcorp Inc
Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, were up 0.7 percent. Toronto-Dominion Bank
BCE Inc
BlackBerry's drop to C$11.31 caused a 6.7 percent decline in the information technology sector.

LONDON/ZURICH (Reuters) - European regulators have cleared the way for the first serious threat to the makers of multibillion-dollar biotechnology drugs to treat diseases such as cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Friday that its experts had backed approval of two copycat versions of Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co's blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis drug Remicade - the first time a green light has been given for such antibody-based medicines.
Until now, complex biotechnology medicines such as Remicade - given by injection or infusion - have been largely immune from generic competition, unlike conventional pills.
But the EMA's announcement on so-called biosimilars Remsima and Inflectra - made by South Korea's Celltrion and U.S. company Hospira respectively - signals the changing landscape as regulators set out a clearer path for the evidence needed to secure approval of such products.
Celltrion executive Kim Hyoung-ki told reporters on Friday that the company is planning to seek approval in Japan later this year and that an application for U.S. approval is possible in 2015.
PRICE POINT
He said that the company expects to sell Remsima at a 30 percent discount to Remicade, aiming to win a significant chunk of the $6.1 billion sales that the drug racked up for Johnson & Johnson in 2012.
Celltrion also aims to boost sales further with approval in emerging markets and recession-hit countries such as Greece.
Citi analyst Andrew Baum said that European regulators' backing of biosimilar versions of Remicade is also likely increase the perceived risk for Roche's top-selling cancer drugs Rituxan and Herceptin. Roche is trying to protect its existing products by bringing out improved, patented versions of its medicines.
Both Remsima and Inflectra have been recommended for a range of auto-immune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and psoriasis among others.
Europe has already approved some simpler biosimilars, including copycat versions of human growth hormone and the anemia treatment EPO, but it has yet to approve an antibody drug such as Remicade, which is known generically as infliximab.
Unlike traditional chemical drugs, biotech medicines consist of proteins derived from living organisms that cannot be replicated exactly. Biosimilars, therefore, are more difficult to develop and need more tests to prove they work properly.
Recommendations for marketing approval by the agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use are normally endorsed by the European Commission within a couple of months.

Indiegogo project AirBoxLab, based out of Paris, France, is hoping to build the "Nest for air quality" with its sensor device that monitors and reports on how much VOC, CO2, CO, and particulate matter is circulating in the air you breathe every day. The sensors would also report on temperature and relative humidity, but the focus would be on keeping you up to date on your indoor air quality.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/WZkQJEPTv8U/

Marble-rolling games have been around for iOS ever since developers learned how to use accelerometer controls - there are countless examples of labyrinth games and other ball rollers, enough to make your eyes glaze over. One has always stood apart for me: the Dark Nebula series. Now it's back and better than ever in HD, with new levels.
Dark Nebula eschewed wooden mazes or other trappings for a gleaming (and dark) science fiction motif. By tilting the iOS device you make your ball roll, and you have to move it through progressively more challenging mazes to make it to the finish line, picking up goodies along the way. It's not just mazes you have to worry about: There are spinning machines, spikes, pits and other dangers to avoid. There are also laser gates whose colors your ball needs to match (by rolling through a designated area) before passing through. You can collect shield power-ups and one-ups too.
Dark Nebula originally appeared for the iPhone and spawned two "episodes" (two separate games carrying the Dark Nebula name), but then it drifted off into obscurity. The game was never updated with native iPad support. 1337 Game Design, the original developer, went on to other things and it seemed that Dark Nebula was doomed to gather dust.
Fast forward to 2013 - Free Lunch Design acquired the game and has built a new HD version designed to work on iPads and Retina Display-equipped iPhones, and they've added new levels, as well. The gameplay is the same fast and frenetic fun as the original, with lots of other stuff too.
Besides re-rendered graphics that make full use of the HD displays of newer iOS devices, they've also added 12 additional levels (for a total of 23). That's great, but we need more. 23 levels is too short.
Dark Nebula HD is a great start for the resurrection of a game franchise that went by the wayside way too soon. With double the levels as before, it's well worth the 99 cents, and hopefully we'll see more from the new developer soon.
If you're new to the franchise, Dark Nebula HD is a great place to pick it up - it's a reworking of the original with better graphics and more levels. If you're new to it, enjoy this ball-rolling game and look forward to more soon.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Rolling Stones, known for songs such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash," have won a new publishing deal just as a series of shows this summer is set to boost interest in the band's back catalogue.
BMG, part of German publisher Bertelsmann, has signed to represent the music catalogue of the Stones, who are on tour celebrating 50 years in the music business.
The company gave no value for the deal, in which BMG's responsibilities will range from marketing and licensing songs to the film, TV and advertising sectors, to ensuring the writers are paid promptly and accurately for their use on the fast-growing number of digital music services.
It is the first new publishing deal with an outside company in 40 years for Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, who share writing credits on many of the band's best-known hits.
EMI Music Publishing, which owns the band's songs from 1971-1983, was the last outside company to sign a deal with the band, before the Stones took control over their own compositions.
BMG will from July 1 take direct responsibility for publishing all of the songs written by Jagger and Richards since 1983. Additionally the company will be responsible for handling the pair's shares of their pre-1983 copyrights such as "Angie" and "Brown Sugar".
"This deal is incredibly important for BMG," the company's CEO Hartwig Mausch said in a statement. "Keith and Mick have clearly created one of the most outstanding song collections in rock 'n' roll history".
The Stones, who released their first single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", in 1963, are gearing up for a gig at British music festival Glastonbury this weekend before playing more dates over the summer in London.
The BMG deal comes on the back of a career-spanning digitally re-mastered back catalogue released on Apple Inc's iTunes Store last week.
(This story has been corrected to add 'known for' in first paragraph to show that BMG did not get the rights for "Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash")

To keep costs low, companies often incentivize healthy lifestyles. Now, new research suggests that how these incentives are framed as benefits for healthy-weight people or penalties for overweight people makes a big difference.
The research, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, shows that policies that carry higher premiums for overweight individuals are perceived as punishing and stigmatizing.
Researcher David Tannenbaum of the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles wanted to investigate how framing healthcare incentives might influence people's attitudes toward the incentives.
"Two frames that are logically equivalent can communicate qualitatively different messages," Tannenbaum explains.
In the first study, 126 participants read about a fictional company grappling with managing their employee health-care policy. They were told that the company was facing rising healthcare costs, due in part to an increasing percentage of overweight employees, and were shown one of four final policy decisions.
The "carrot" plan gave a $500 premium reduction to healthy-weight people, while the "stick" plan increased premiums for overweight people by $500. The two plans were functionally equivalent, structured such that healthy-weight employees always paid $2000 per year in healthcare costs, and overweight employees always paid $2500 per year in healthcare costs.
There were also two additional "stick" plans that resulted in a $2400 premium for overweight people.
Participants were more likely to see the "stick" plans as punishment for being overweight and were less likely to endorse them.
But they didn't appear to differentiate between the three "stick" plans despite the $100 premium difference. Instead, they seemed to evaluate the plans on moral grounds, deciding that punishing someone for being overweight was wrong regardless of the potential savings to be had.
The data showed that framing incentives in terms of penalties may have particular psychological consequences for affected individuals: People with higher body mass index (BMI) scores reported that they would feel particularly stigmatized and dissatisfied with their employer under the three "stick" plans.
Another study placed participants in the decision maker's seat to see if "stick" and "carrot" plans actually reflected different underlying attitudes. Participants who showed high levels of bias against overweight people were more likely to choose the "stick" plan, but provided different justification depending on whether their bias was explicit or implicit:
"Participants who explicitly disliked overweight people were forthcoming about their decision, admitting that they chose a 'stick' policy on the basis of personal attitudes," noted Tannenbaum. "Participants who implicitly disliked overweight people, in contrast, justified their decisions based on the most economical course of action."
Ironically, if they were truly focused on economic concerns they should have opted for the "carrot" plan, since it would save the company $100 per employee. Instead, these participants tended to choose the strategy that effectively punished overweight people, even in instances when the "stick" policy implied a financial cost to the company.
Tannenbaum concludes that these framing effects may have important consequences across many different real-world domains:
"In a broad sense, our research affects policymakers at large," says Tannenbaum. "Logically equivalent policies in various domains such as setting a default option for organ donation or retirement savings can communicate very different messages, and understanding the nature of these messages could help policymakers craft more effective policy."

Garland Science is proud to announce the publication of the long-awaited Second Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics by Jobling, Hollux, Hurles, Kivisild, and Tyler-Smith.
Now in full-color, the Second Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics has been completely revised to cover the rapid advances in the field since publication of the highly regarded First Edition. Written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, it is the only textbook to integrate genetic, archaeological, and linguistic perspectives on human evolution, and to offer a genomic perspective, reflecting the shift from studies of specific regions of the genome towards comprehensive genomewide analyses of human genetic diversity.
Human Evolutionary Genetics is suitable for courses in Genetics, Evolution, and Anthropology. Readers with a background in anthropology will find that the streamlined genetic analysis material contained in the Second Edition is more accessible. The new edition also integrates new technologies (including next-generation sequencing and genomewide SNP typing) and new data analysis methods, including recent data on ancient genomes and their impact on our understanding of human evolution. The book also examines the subject of personal genomics and its implications.
The new Second Edition has been comprehensively revised and updated. New to the Second Edition:
Praise for the First Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics:
"I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in human evolutionary genetics or anthropological genetics. It would be an ideal choice for advanced undergraduates and graduate courses on this topic, and would also be a key reference for those active in such research." HUMAN GENOMICS
"[Human Evolutionary Genetics] is one of the best textbooks on any subject I have ever read. It belongs on the shelves of everyone interested in the genetic aspects of human evolution. There is also much of value in it for paleoanthropologists, historical linguistics, archaeologists, and human biologists (biological anthropologists), as well as for geneticists with various complementary specialties and interests." AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN GENETICS
"I strongly recommend Human Evolutionary Genetics as an undergraduate textbook. At the same time, I recommend this book to any readers with an interest in human evolution or human genetics." HUMAN GENETICS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is still hoping to have peace talks with the Taliban and Afghan officials but is not sure it will be possible, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Monday.
Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said at a media briefing that there have been hopeful signs for the talks.
"We want to see if we can get it back on track," he said. "We don't know whether that's possible."
A new date for discussions has not yet been set and James Dobbins, the U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, has not met with Taliban representatives, Ventrell said.
The comments come as U.S. official continue to press the Taliban to revive the peace effort, which was set to begin last with preliminary discussion but was stalled amid objections from the Afghan government.
The main goal is to get Afghans talking to other Afghans, although the U.S. had been open to meeting with the Taliban, Ventrell said.
"We're still open to having that meeting," he told reporters, adding that Afghan and Taliban representatives could met first if they wanted.
On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on the Taliban to revive the effort to end Afghanistan's 12-year-old war.
The fundamentalist Islamic group was pushed out of power in Afghanistan by the U.S. invasion that followed the al Qaeda attacks on U.S. targets on September 11, 2001. It has since led an insurgency to overthrow the Afghan government and oust foreign troops.

LONDON (Reuters) - David Cameron called on Monday for an investigation into claims that police spied on the family of a black teenager whose murder 20 years ago exposed what an inquiry called "institutional racism" in London's police force.
In one of Britain's highest-profile racial killings, Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death at a bus stop in southeast London in 1993. An inquest ruled it had been an unprovoked attack by a gang of white youths.
Not until last year was anyone convicted for the murder.
Now a former undercover police office has said he was asked to infiltrate the Lawrence family's campaign for justice in the years following the murder.
Cameron's spokesman said in a statement: "The Prime Minister is deeply concerned by reports that the police wanted to smear Stephen Lawrence's family and would like the Metropolitan police to investigate immediately."
In the Guardian newspaper, former undercover officer Peter Francis said he spent four years posing as an anti-racist campaigner after his superiors tasked him with trying to uncover information that could be used against the 18-year old student's parents.
Francis said senior officers were afraid that anger at the failure to launch a more thorough investigation into the murder would spiral into disorder on the streets.
He monitored several campaigns, involving relatives of mostly black men who had died in suspicious circumstances in police custody.
He never met the Lawrence family but said he passed back "heresay" about them to his superiors.
He also said senior officers witheld his undercover role from Sir William Macpherson, who headed a public inquiry to examine the police investigation into the death.
Macpherson said in a damning 1999 report that that investigation had been "marred by a combination of professional incompetence, institutional racism and a failure of leadership by senior officers."
The case still weighs on London's police, despite an overhaul of policies and an attempt to recruit more officers from ethnic minorities.
Francis' claims follow a joint investigation between the Guardian and Channel 4's Dispatches programme. A related programme is scheduled to be broadcast in Britain on Monday evening.
London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement that an investigation into its past use of undercover police was already under way.
"At some point it will fall upon this generation of police leaders to account for the activities of our predecessors, but for the moment we must focus on getting to the truth," it added.

WASHINGTON ? The Army will eliminate at least 12 combat brigades, relocate thousands of soldiers and cancel $400 million in construction projects as the first wave of federal budget cuts takes aim at military communities around the country.
In a massive restructuring, Army leaders said Tuesday that they will slash the number of active duty combat brigades from 45 to 33, as the service moves forward with a longtime plan to cut the size of the service by 80,000. And they warned that more cuts ? of as many as 100,000 more active duty, National Guard and Reserve soldiers ? could be coming if Congress allows billions of dollars in automatic budget cuts to continue next year.
The sweeping changes would eliminate brigades ? which number from 3,500 to 5,000 troops ? at 10 Army bases in the U.S. by 2017, including those in Texas, Kentucky, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina, New York, Kansas and Washington. The Army will also cut thousands of other jobs across the service, including soldiers in units that support the brigades, and two brigades in Germany have already been scheduled for elimination.
Gen. Ray Odierno, Army chief of staff, said one additional brigade will likely be cut, but no final decisions have been made.
"I know in the local communities it will have its impact," Odierno told reporters Tuesday. "But we've done our best to reach out to them so they understand what the impacts are. We've tried to make it as small an impact as possible for as many communities as we could."
Members of Congress, meanwhile, expressed concerns about the prospects for greater cuts down the road.
Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said his panel "will carefully examine the implications of this initial restructuring, but we all must understand that this is only the tip of the iceberg, much deeper cuts are still to come."
The Army is being reduced in size from a high of about 570,000 during the peak of the Iraq war to 490,000 as part of efforts to cut the budget and reflect the country's military needs as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan end. Odierno said that the potential 100,000 more would be spread out across the active duty, Guard and Reserves, and that there also could be reductions in the Army's 13 aviation brigades.
While the personnel cuts may have less impact at some of the Army's larger bases such as Fort Hood in Texas and Fort Bragg in North Carolina, they could be more painful for communities around some of the smaller installations such as Fort Knox, where currently only one brigade is based.
The other seven U.S. bases that will lose a brigade are: Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Fort Carson in Colorado, Fort Drum in New York, Fort Riley in Kansas, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. Soldiers in the deactivated brigades would be transferred to other units.
Odierno said the Army tried to spread out the cuts geographically. He said Fort Knox scored the lowest in military value, but insisted the reduction was not the first step toward closing the base. He noted that about 4,000 civilians workers had been added there, as well as the Army's recruiting command.
The overall cut in size has been known for more than a year, and Army leaders have been working on how to manage the reduction, conducting local community meetings across the country and releasing an extensive study on the issue earlier this year.
Under the plan announced Tuesday, the Army will increase the size of its infantry and armor brigades by adding another battalion, which is between 600-800 soldiers. Adding the battalion was a recommendation from commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan who said it would beef up the fighting capabilities of the brigades when they go to war.
Odierno said he continues to hope that he will be able to cut the 80,000 soldiers largely through voluntary departures. He said he believes he will have to force several hundred officers to leave in order to get the proper number of soldiers at various ranks. But, if the automatic cuts go forward, Odierno said he would likely have to force soldiers out of the Army.
These initial brigade cuts do not affect National Guard or Reserve units.
Officials said the decisions on the cuts were based on a variety of factors including required training resources, ranges, air space and infrastructure, as well as the need to put units near leadership and headquarters units.

Conan O?Brien isn?t much of a gamer, but damn it all if he?s not going to review your favorite video games anyway for his ?Clueless Gamer? series! This time he?s taken a look at the hit new DC game Injustice: Gods Among Us with Team Coco?s resident nerd?Aaron Bleyaert. His many insights include judging Superman for the Fortress of Solitude?s alien zoo, noting that Zod would probably make a pretty good pope, and introducing us to a (hopefully) playable version of the superhero he co-created with Bruce Timm, The Flaming C.
No word on if or when the Flaming C will be available for download. From what we can tell, it looks like it?s just a skin for Superman, which is a little disappointing because I would kill to hear Conan voice his own superhero and interact with the DC crew.?General Zod, however,?is set to drop as a DLC sometime in July, maybe even earlier if you own the season pass.

Chrome: If you've ever looked at an neighborhood calendar and meant to go to an event, or visited a website for a convention or concert but forgot to plan for it, SpotOn.It for Chrome can help. The app intelligently searches sites you visit for events listed, and can add them to your Google Calendar with one click.
I've been trying the extension and it works on everything from major events and concerts on popular websites to neighborhood and community calendars. Now, if I want to remember that there's a free movie in the local park this weekend, all I have to do is visit the community calendar, click the button in the Chrome Toolbar, and add the event to my Google Calendar so I'll be reminded in advance. The add-on even lets you know if the event will run up against appointments on your calendar before or afterward.
SpotOn.It is actually a service that recommends things for you to do in your area and can fill gaps in your Google Calendar with interesting things in your area, but it's limited to a handful of cities and events at the moment. The Chrome extension has no such limitations, and works on virtually any website, anywhere you live. Plus, you can use the extension to quickly add your own events to your Google Calendar at any time, anywhere?just click the button and choose "Add Custom Event."
You'll have to give the service limited access to your Google Account for the service to work, and the extension is Chrome only. Still, if you use your calendar often and want a super-quick way to add events and announcements you see on the web to it for future reference, it doesn't get easier than this.

Apple revealed a number of notable new features with the debut of iOS 7 yesterday, but there are many smaller features which are now leaking out as developers have had a chance to play around with the new operating system. Though most of these didn't get a shout-out during Apple's keynote and accompanying demo at WWDC, they are the "little touches," which help to make iOS 7 something bigger than an incremental update in terms of the new functionality it introduces.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/kQufXEcyRFo/

Only days after the initial leaks and explanations by the US government about the National Security Agency's data surveillance program PRISM, Edward Snowden has revealed himself as the whistleblower. He's employed by defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton and also worked at the NSA as a "technical assistant" for the CIA. In speaking to The Guardian, he explained his reasons for disclosing the intelligence program: he wanted to "to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them," hoping that they'll use the information to debate the issue.
While the NSA's data-mining tool is reportedly known as Boundless Informant, Snowden has been keeping himself bound to a hotel in Hong Kong during this whole drama. Major internet companies have insisted that the government doesn't receive direct access to their servers and President Obama has stated that "nobody is listening to your phone calls, but the issue remains far from black and white. Snowden claims a "massive surveillance machine" is in the making under the radar -- at this point he's now waiting to see what happens next, assured he's made the the decision that feels right to him. Catch the full interview at the source link.
Update: In case there was any doubt that Snowden has ever been employed by Booz Allen Hamilton, the company just released the following statement:
Booz Allen can confirm that Edward Snowden, 29, has been an employee of our firm for less than 3 months, assigned to a team in Hawaii. News reports that this individual has claimed to have leaked classified information are shocking, and if accurate, this action represents a grave violation of the code of conduct and core values of our firm. We will work closely with our clients and authorities in their investigation of this matter.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Cyndi Lauper, making her Broadway debut, won a Tony Award on Sunday for writing the 15-song score to "Kinky Boots" and Christopher Durang's comical "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" has won the best play Tony.
Lauper thanked her old friend Harvey Fierstein, the book writer for "La Cage aux Folles" and "Newsies," to lure her to Broadway. "Kinky Boots" also won for choreography and two technical awards with more awards on the way.
"I want to thank Harvey Fierstein for calling me up. I'm so glad I was done with the dishes and answered the phone," Lauper said.
Durang, whose other works include the play "Beyond Therapy," was a Tony nominee for "A History of the American Film" and his "Miss Witherspoon" was a Pulitzer Prize nominee in 2006.
Girls were having fun elsewhere as well, as Diane Paulus and Pam MacKinnon both won directing Tonys, rare for two women. Paulus won her first Tony for directing the crackling, high-energy revival of the musical "Pippin." MacKinnon won for directing the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," a year after earning her first nomination for helming "Clybourne Park."
Andrea Martin, 66, won as a featured actress in a musical, plays Pippin's grandmother and sings the music hall favorite "No Time at All," stuns audiences nightly by doing jaw-dropping stunts that would make someone a fraction of her age blanch.
The Tonys are being broadcast live by CBS from Radio City Music Hall. Neil Patrick Harris is back for his fourth turn as emcee and leads a show featuring talented children and pulse-pounding musical numbers.
The big, opening number started with Harris simply holding a guitar in a pub like "Once" but quickly morphed into a flashy razzle-dazzle number that showcased performers from almost a dozen musicals ? and even ex-boxer Mike Tyson dancing. Harris sang "It's bigger! Tonight it's bigger," jumped through a hoop, vanished from a box and promised a "truly legendary show" before glitter guns went off.
Courtney B. Vance won for best featured actor in a play for portraying a newspaper editor opposite Tom Hanks in "Lucky Guy." He dedicated his award to his mother.
Judith Light won her second featured actress in a play Tony in two years, cementing the former TV star of "One Life to Live" and "Who's the Boss?" as a Broadway star.
She followed up her win last year as a wise-cracking alcoholic aunt in "Other Desert Cities" with the role of a wry mother in "The Assembled Parties," in which she goes from about 53 to 73 over the play's two acts.
"I want to thank every woman that I am in this category nominated with: you have made this a celebration, not a competition," she said.
Gabriel Ebert of "Matilda the Musical" won as best featured actor in a musical. He thanked his four Matildas and his parents, stooping down to speak into the microphone.
"Kinky Boots" and "Matilda the Musical" are the front-runners for top musical, while those for best play are "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" and "The Assembled Parties."
Lauper and Harvey Fierstein have given "Kinky Boots" ? originally a 2005 film about a failing shoe factory that turns to making drag queen boots ? a fun score and a touching book that celebrates diversity. It has generated two leading man nods in Billy Porter and Stark Sands.
The import "Matilda the Musical" is a witty, dark musical adaptation of the novel by Roald Dahl that is still running in London. Its leading woman is actually a man ? Bertie Carver, who plays the evil headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
Others musicals hoping for awards include the acrobatic "Bring It On: The Musical," the hit-heavy "Motown the Musical" and "A Christmas Story, the Musical," adapted from the beloved holiday movie. Top musical revivals include an updated "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella" and a cracking revival of "Pippin" with a circus feel.
Some of the telecast highlights included the stunning kids on Broadway ? the orphans in "Annie," the actor Raymond Luke Jr. as a pre-teen Michael Jackson in "Motown the Musical," and the dancing tots in "A Christmas Story, the Musical" ? especially the young tap dancer wizard Luke Spring ? plus the four young women in "Matilda."
Harris got his face licked by the dog playing Sandy in "Annie," made fun of Tyson and Shia LaBeouf, who left a revival of "Orphans" before the show opened and then tweeted about it, and joined with "Smash" star Megan Hilty, "Go On" star Laura Benanti and former "The Book of Mormon" star Andrew Rannells to skewer theater stars who seek fame on TV with a twisted version of "What I Did For Love" from "A Chorus Line."
The biggest star with a nomination is Broadway newcomer Tom Hanks, who could snap up a Tony for "Lucky Guy," Nora Ephron's last work and a best play finalist. He faces tough competition from Nathan Lane, who plays a closeted gay burlesque performer in "The Nance."
The nominators ignored some big-name talent who graced Broadway stages this season, including Bette Midler, Jessica Chastain, Al Pacino, Katie Holmes, Paul Rudd, Alec Baldwin, Alicia Silverstone, Sigourney Weaver, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.
Presenters include some of the A-listers overlooked for nominations as well as Jesse Eisenberg, Jon Cryer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anna Kendrick, Zachary Quinto, Sally Field, Audra McDonald, Alan Cumming and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
The Tony winners were picked by 868 Tony voters, including members of The Broadway League, American Theatre Wing, Actors' Equity, the Dramatists Guild, Stage Directors and Choreographers Society as well as critics from the New York Drama Critics Circle.
The awards telecast faces competition for attention on Sunday night from an episode of "Mad Men" on AMC and Game 2 of the NBA finals between San Antonio and Miami on ABC. Last year's telecast was seen by 6 million viewers, down significantly from 2011's 6.9 million.
The awards cap a somewhat grim financial season on Broadway in which the total box office take was flat and the number of ticket buyers slipped 6 percent. Both numbers were blamed in part on Superstorm Sandy, but high ticket prices and the lack of long term audience growth has many worried.
A total of 46 new shows opened during the season, which began last May and ended May 26: 15 musicals, 26 plays and five special events or concerts.

PARIS ? If Rafael Nadal truly was going to be challenged, if his bid for an unprecedented eighth French Open championship would be slowed even a bit, this might have been the moment.
Leading by a set and a break 70 minutes into Sunday's final against David Ferrer, another generally indefatigable Spaniard, Nadal faced four break points in one game. The last was a 31-stroke exchange, the match's longest, capped when Nadal absorbed Ferrer's strong backhand approach and transformed it into a cross-court backhand passing shot.
Ferrer glared at the ball as it flew past and landed in a corner, then smiled ruefully. What else was there to do? Dealing with Nadal's defense-to-offense on red clay is a thankless task. His rain-soaked 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Ferrer was Nadal's record 59th win in 60 matches at the French Open and made him the only man with eight titles at any Grand Slam tournament.
"I never like to compare years, but it's true that this year means something very special for me," Nadal said, alluding to the way he managed to come back from a left knee injury that sidelined him for about seven months.
"When you have a period of time like I had," he added, "you realize that you don't know if you will have the chance to be back here with this trophy another time."
But he does it, year after year.
He won four French Opens in a row from 2005-08, and another four in a row from 2010-13.
"Rafael was better than me," said Ferrer, who had won all 18 sets he'd played the past two weeks to reach his first Grand Slam final at age 31. "He didn't make mistakes."
A week past his 27th birthday, Nadal now owns 12 major trophies in all ? including two from Wimbledon, one each from the U.S. Open and Australian Open ? to eclipse Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver and equal Roy Emerson for the third-most in history. Nadal trails only Roger Federer's 17 and Pete Sampras' 14.
"Winning 17 Grand Slam titles, that's miles away," Nadal said. "I'm not even thinking about it."
This was Nadal's first major tournament after a surprising second-round loss at Wimbledon last June. Since rejoining the tour in February, he is 43-2 with seven titles and two runner-up finishes. He's won his past 22 matches.
"For me, it's incredible," said Toni Nadal, Rafael's uncle and coach. "When I think of all that Rafael has done, I don't understand it."
No one, perhaps not even Ferrer himself, expected Nadal to lose Sunday.
That's because of Nadal's skill on clay, in general, and at Roland Garros, in particular, but also because of how Ferrer had fared against his friend and countryman ? and video-game competitor ? in the past.
Ferrer entered Sunday 4-19 against Nadal. On clay, Nadal had 16 consecutive victories over Ferrer, whose only head-to-head win on the surface came the first time they played, in July 2004, when Nadal was 18.
Nadal had yet to make his French Open debut then, missing it that year because of a broken left foot. On May 23, 2005, Nadal played his first match at Roland Garros, beating Lars Burgsmuller 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-1 on Court 1, known as the "bullring" because of its oval shape.
And so began the reign.
Nadal won a record 31 consecutive matches at the French Open until the fourth round in 2009, when Robin Soderling beat him. In 2010, Nadal started a new streak, which currently stands at 28.
There was occasional shakiness this year. Nadal lost the first set of each of his first two matches and was pushed to a tiebreaker to begin his third.
He barely edged No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic in a thrilling semifinal that lasted more than 4 1/2 hours and ended 9-7 in the fifth set Friday.
By any measure, that match was far more enjoyable to take in than the final, akin to dining on a filet mignon accompanied by a well-aged bottle of Bordeaux one day, then grabbing a hot dog and can of soda from a street vendor 48 hours later.
Under a leaden sky that eventually would release a steady shower from the second set on, Ferrer felt nerves at the outset, he acknowledged later. But after the players traded early breaks, Ferrer held for a 3-2 lead.
That's when Nadal took over, winning seven games in a row and 12 of 14. His court coverage was impeccable, as usual, showing no signs of any problems from that left knee, which was supported by a band of white tape. His lefty forehand whips were on-target, accounting for 19 of his 35 winners and repeatedly forcing errors from Ferrer.
When Nadal did have lapses, he admonished himself, once slapping his forehead with his right palm after pushing a lob wide. But what's demoralizing for opponents is the way Nadal slams the door when they have openings, then rushes through when he gets the slightest chance.
He was at his relentless best on key points, including those four break chances for Ferrer at 3-1 in the second set. Immediately after, Nadal broke to 5-1 on a forehand winner down the line.
As Nadal prepared to serve in the next game, a man wearing a white mask and carrying a fiery flare jumped out of the stands nearby. The intruder quickly was shoved to the ground by one security guard, while another went to protect Nadal.
"I felt a little bit scared at the first moment," Nadal said, "because I didn't see what's going on."
It happened within a few minutes of other actions by protesters, including chanting from the upper deck that briefly delayed play. Police said seven people were held for questioning.
Nadal got broken in that game, then broke back right away to take the second set.
The third set was similar to the first. It was 3-all, then suddenly over. Nadal took the last three games, ending the match with a forehand winner before dropping his racket and falling on his back, leaving a rust-colored smudge on his white shirt and flecks of clay on his stubbled cheeks. Soon he was standing, holding his index finger aloft.
Yes, Nadal is No. 1 at the French Open. When the ATP rankings are issued Monday, however, he will be No. 5, because of points he dropped while hurt.
Ferrer will be at No. 4.
"Yeah, it's strange, no? I lost the final against Rafael, but tomorrow I am going to be No. 4 and him No. 5," Ferrer said with a grin, then delivered his punch line: "I prefer to win here and to stay No. 5."
Sorry, David. This is Nadal's tournament.
Now the question becomes: Is eight enough?
