The awards ceremony will be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites on Sunday, May 1st. The Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards will also be held at the Bonaventure on Friday, April 29th, 2016. The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award Nominations were revealed today on the Emmy-winning show, “The Talk,” on CBS. “After last year’s critically successful Daytime telecast, it is with great disappointment that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announces that there will not be a broadcast of the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy ® Awards,” said Bob Mauro, President. “After months of negotiations to find show sponsorship, the NATAS Executive Board has decided that the current climate for awards shows prohibits the possibility of a telecast this year. With that said, we will be putting on a world-class awards celebration honoring the best and brightest of Daytime television and look forward to an exciting show. All efforts regarding returning the annual gala to television in 2017 are underway.” “We are especially grateful for our passionate Daytime fans and are looking forward to producing a grand gala that honors the talents and artistries of all the professionals that represent Daytime television,” said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime Emmy Awards.

  • The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred Jr
    The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred Jr., Commissioner 245 Park Avenue 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 March 15, 2019 An Open Letter to Robert Manfred, Commissioner of Major League Baseball Dear Commissioner Manfred, We write to you as leaders of a nationwide movement to end violence against women, to ask that you take firm and appropriate action in disciplining San Francisco Giants CEO and President Larry Baer, for his conduct during a public, physical alterca- tion with his wife, Pam Baer. While Mr. Baer has expressed regret for his behavior, we believe this incident represents more than an embarrassing private quarrel that spilled into public view. It is a test of how seriously Major League Baseball views its responsibility to hold its leaders, as it does with its players, to the highest standards of personal conduct. In 2015, MLB became one of the first major professional sports leagues to adopt a policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. At the time, you ex- pressed your pride in the baseball community for holding itself to a standard “that re- flects the gravity and the sensitivities of those significant societal issues.” You noted, “we believe that these efforts will foster not only an approach of education and pre- vention but also a united stance against these matters throughout our sport and our communities.” You were right. The incident in question is precedent-setting, and not, as some have asserted, a squabble over a cell phone in which it appears that no laws were broken. Behavior does not have to be criminal in order for it to be wrong and contrary to the standards set by MLB.

Umpires will now be allowed to conduct a conference to change a call of “catch” to “no catch” and a call of “no catch” to “catch.” The committee approved the change in an effort to modernize the game, and to get an incorrect call changed to what should have been the correct call. Under the new rule, if a play to the outfield originally is called a catch but is overturned by umpire conference or through video evidence, the play will be declared dead and the batter will be placed at first base. Each runner will be advanced one base from the position occupied at the time of the pitch. If the play is overturned in foul territory, it will be ruled a foul ball and all runners will return to the Starting this season, umpires (from left) Billy VanRaaphorst, Los Angeles; Mike Conlin, Lansing, base they occupied at the time of the Mich.; Jeff Head, Birmingham Ala.; Doug Williams, College Station, Texas; and Scott Erby, pitch.

  • Right Off the Bat
    Right off the Bat By William F. Kirk Right Off the Bat JOHN BOURBON, PITCHER THEY tell me that Matty can pitch like a fiend, But many long years before Matty was weaned I was pitching to players, and good players, too, Mike Kelley and Rusie and all the old crew. Red Sockalexis, the Indian star, Breitenstein, Clancy, McGill and McGarr. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me? My name is John Bourbon, I’m old, and yet young; I cannot keep track of the victims I’ve stung. I’ve studied their weaknesses, humored their whims, Muddled their eyesight and weakened their limbs, Bloated their faces and dammed up their veins, Rusted their joints and beclouded their brains. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me? I have pitched to the stars of our national game, I have pitched them to ruin and pitched them to shame. They laughed when they faced me, so proud of their strength, Not knowing, poor fools, I would get them at length. I have pitched men off pinnacles scaled in long years. I have pitched those they loved into oceans of tears. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me? SUNDAY BASEBALL THE East Side Slashers were playing the Terrors, Piling up hits, assists and errors; Far from their stuffy tenement homes That cluster thicker than honeycombs, They ran the bases like busy bees, Fanned by the Hudson’s cooling breeze.

WHOSE FELLOWSHIP AND HELP HAVE SWEETENED LIFE. PREFACE. This book needs only brief introduction. It at- tempts to tell the story of the origin of the Evolution idea in Ionia, and, after long arrest, of the revival of that idea in modern times, when its profound and permanent influence on thought in all directions, and, therefore, on human relations and conduct, is apparent. Between birth and revival there were the cen- turies of suspended animation, when the nepenthe of dogma drugged the reason; the Church teaching, and the laity mechanically accepting, the sufficiency of the Scriptures and of the General Councils to de- cide on matters which lie outside the domain of both. Hence the necessity for particularizing the causes which actively arrested advance in knowledge for sixteen himdred years.
