The Catch-Up

The Catch-Up was an Australian daytime live television talk show on the Nine Network created by Mia Freedman.

The show featured a panel of women as co-hosts, with Libbi Gorr, Zoe Sheridan, Mary Moody and Lisa Oldfield. The show premiered on 26 February 2007. It was produced at Channel Nine's studio in Willoughby. The concept of The Catch-Up was to showcase women discussing views, news and gossip with each other as well as with their guests. The program followed a similar format to The View.

The show was under pressure even before it began. The Nine network decision to cancel its broadcast of the US soap opera The Young and the Restless to make way for the program caused outrage amongst fans of show which had been aired on the Nine Network since 1974.

Cancellation

Due to low ratings, the show was cancelled on 13 June 2007 and the last episode aired on 15 June.

Play (Jonker)

Play is an abstract sculpture by Lars Jonker. It is located in Hendricks Park, in the historic Bates-Hendricks neighborhood, south of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.

Description

The painted-metal sculpture consists of two large, curvilinear forms facing each other. One curved form has a yellow ball and the other has a purple ball attached near their pointed extremities. A blue ball rests between the two curves on a metal platform that encompasses both arcs.

Information

Lars Jonker, a local artist at the nearby Wheeler Arts Community, created Play for Hendricks Park, as part of the park's ongoing development.

An alternate name for this artwork is Catch; there is still some debate as to its rightful name.

Location history

The sculpture was installed in Hendricks Park, a collaborative project between the Bates-Hendricks Neighborhood Association, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Baker & Daniels, Eli Lilly and Company, and Southeast Neighborhood Development that began in 2000 and was completed in 2002. Despite occasional vandalism and some restoration, the sculpture remains in the park, on Madison Avenue, just south of downtown Indianapolis. This small park in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood is operated by Indy Parks and owned by the City of Indianapolis.

Catch (band)

Catch were a British indie pop group consisting of musicians Toby Slater (vocals and keyboards), Wayne Murray (bass and vocals) and Ben Etchells (guitar). The band were signed to Virgin Records and released two singles - "Bingo", which reached No. 23 in the UK Singles Chart, and "Dive In", which reached No. 44. The band released one self-titled album, which was only issued in Indonesia. The album is no longer in print or available online, however various tracks have surfaced on file and video sharing websites over the years.

History

Reputedly formed when Slater, Murray and Etchells kissed the same girl at a party, Catch were in fact formed from the ashes of Brattish, Slater's first band, formed in 1994/95, which also included Etchells. Brattish rehearsed the Catch material extensively, paid for by interested A&R men, but never gigged. Slater also was a driving-force behind the short-lived "Romo" movement in the autumn/winter of 1995, DJ-ing at "Arcadia".

"Bingo" was Catch's biggest hit, and resulted in the band appearing on Top Of The Pops, Light Lunch, The Paul Ross Show (performing three songs live), The Jack Docherty Show and various Saturday morning UK TV shows. "Bingo" was also being shown on the ITV Chart Show when ITN interrupted programming to report on the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Slater also presented some shows on MTV around this time. An album was quickly released in Indonesia due to the band's popularity there, but was never released in the UK due to Slater being unhappy with it at the time. The band visited Jakarta for a promotional tour and performed acoustically for fans.

Catch (baseball)

In baseball, a catch occurs when a fielder gains secure possession of a batted ball in flight, and maintains possession until he voluntarily or intentionally releases the ball. When a catch occurs, the batter is out, and runners, once they properly tag up (retouch their time-of-pitch base), may attempt to advance at risk of being tagged out.

Unlike in American football and other sports, neither secure possession for a time nor for a number of steps is enough to demonstrate that a catch has occurred. A fielder may, for example, appear to catch and hold a batted ball securely, take a few more steps, collide with a wall or another player, and drop the ball. This is not a catch.

Umpires signal a catch with the out signal: a fist raised into the air, often with a hammering motion; if there is doubt about it, the umpire will likely shout "That's a catch!" On a close no-catch, the umpire will signal with the safe signal, which is both arms swept to the side and extended, accompanied by the call "No catch, no catch!" with an emphasis on the word "no".
