Mayor Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles welcomed people to the first Emmy Awards ceremony, which was held Jan. 25, 1949, at the Hollywood Athletic Club. Before there was a Peak TV era, before there were performances from Mary Tyler Moore, Cloris Leachman or Julia Louis-Dreyfus, there was Judy Splinters. “Judy Splinters,” a children’s television show hosted by a 20-year-old ventriloquist named Shirley Dinsdale and her puppet — wait for it — Judy Splinters, was nominated for the so-called most popular program at the very first Emmy Awards. All nominated shows had to have been filmed in Los Angeles, and the award show itself was only broadcast on a local station in Los Angeles. “It was so brand-new,” Dinsdale told The Los Angeles Times in 1998.

☆ Private-Equity Firms Snap Up Data Centers as Cloud Demand Soars
  + stars: | 2023-02-23 | by ( Angus Loten | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
Private-equity firms bought data centers in near-record numbers last year, defying a broad deal-making slowdown in a bid to capture ever-growing demand for data storage and cloud computing. Data centers are warehouse-sized facilities that lease space in networks of computer servers to customers ranging from individual businesses to giant cloud-computing providers. As the underlying infrastructure for cloud-based digital tools, data centers support everything from video streaming and online gaming to workplace and remote work enterprise software, 5G networks and Internet-of-Things systems. In December, DigitalBridge Group Inc., a Boca Raton, Fla., private-equity firm, and investment services firm IFM Investors closed an $11 billion acquisition of Dallas-based data-center operator Switch Inc. “Large private-equity investors are clearly attracted to the continued robust take-up of data-center space by large hyperscale and social-media companies,” Mr. Lynch said.

Sen. Deb Fischer, a two-term Republican incumbent and loyal ally of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is also up for reelection then too. Along with owning the Cubs, the Ricketts family has long been among the biggest funders of Republican campaigns.
