Home > Press > Zimbabwe minister tours ILPB and COE in preparation for next steps in UB-Zimbabwe partnership
|Robin DiFrancesco with the Zimbabwe minister, Dr. Dzinotyiweyi (center), and co-director of UB-AZ AITRP, Charles Chiedza Maponga
The Hon. Professor Heneri Dzinotyiweyi, Zimbabwe minister of science and technology development, visited Buffalo on Tuesday, Feb. 19, to tour two University at Buffalo research facilities and discuss the vision and implementation strategy for the Zimbabwe International Nanotechnology Center (ZINC) with officials at UB, its primary academic partner.
Dzinotyiweyi visited the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics (ILPB) and then toured UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences.
His visit was coordinated by Paras Prasad, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Medicine and Electrical Engineering; Samuel P. Capen Chair of Chemistry; and executive director of the ILPB, and Gene D. Morse, PharmD, professor of pharmacy practice and associate director of the Center of Excellence and director of the Translational Pharmacy Research Core.
"Professor Dzinotyiweyi's visits to the ILPB, as well as the center, provided an opportunity for faculty leaders, regional scientists and public officials to discuss the recently announced international collaboration of UB and ZINC," says Morse.
In 2009, Morse received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty International Center AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) Award. The program consists of a partnership with the University of Zimbabwe and establishes an international HIV Clinical Pharmacology Fellowship program. This award has energized the faculty and students at the University of Zimbabwe and has become a centerpiece for capacity building in the region.
With 14 percent of Zimbabwe's population living with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis as a co-infection, the need for new drugs and new formulations of available treatments is crucial.
ZINC emerged from the UB-UZ AITRP collaboration with the ILPB and COE, and was launched as a national nanotechnology research program with the University of Zimbabwe and Chinhoyi University of Technology to address the need for new pharmacological approaches to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
UB's role in the ZINC partnership will be to provide training to young scientists and students in Zimbabwe in multiple areas within nanotechnology.
Nanoparticles have become important to the equation of new HIV/AIDS drug development because they can provide effective treatment options with shortened duration of therapy, reduced systemic side effects and limited development of drug resistance.
"In other words," says Morse, "the development of nanoparticle formulations will target TB medications to be preferentially delivered to lung tissue (where the infection is), while reducing systemic exposure that is associated with drug toxicity."
The next steps in the UB-ZINC partnership will include identifying research areas of common interest to Zimbabwe and prioritizing them according to the country's needs.
"In order to assess those needs, we are having a public symposium in Harare on March 18 and 19 that will include representatives from government, academia and the community," says Morse.
He adds that among the challenges UB researchers face in working with any group like ZINC, which is on the other side of the globe, is establishing a good collaborative environment and funding the initiative.
To address this, Morse says multiple meetings are being scheduled in Buffalo and Harare to allow participants from all institutions to meet. For funding, Morse notes that government and privately sourced funding initiatives are being organized.
"ZINC represents a significant advance in UB's involvement with Zimbabwe research training and capacity building, especially with the addition of Dr. Prasad and Dr. Cartwright's expertise," Morse says.
"Also, having ZINC collaborate with UB's ILPB and Center of Excellence creates a synergistic initiative that will have an impact on Western New York research and development, as well as economic development locally and globally"

Vendor reports theft at Christmast Arts and Crafts Extravaganza at Osage Centre
The Cape Girardeau Police Department responded to a report Sunday afternoon of a vendor who was robbed of their entire weekend earnings at the Christmas Arts and Crafts Extravaganza at the Osage Community Centre.
The facility was put on lockdown for about 20 minutes on Sunday afternoon while police searched for the suspect. A money bag containing an undisclosed amount of cash and checks was taken from a vendor's booth about 1:30 p.m. by a woman the vendor had noticed was watching her over the course of the weekend.
According the vendor, she had been approached by the woman several times Saturday and Sunday. She described the suspect as a short white woman with a stocky build, with shoulder length dark hair and glasses. She was wearing a heavy coat.
The vendor reported seeing the woman bend down near the location of the money bag while she was busy helping another customer. The discovered the bag was missing soon after.
The police department reports that no one actually saw the woman take the money or saw her leave the location.
The facility has no camera surveillance that would indicate how the suspect left the scene.
Melissa Miller, executive director of the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, was in charge of the weekend event.
Miller said she notified police upon hearing of the incident and then decided to place the facility on lockdown until it was deemed safe.
"All of the people stuck inside the building and out were very understanding and patient, so I am very appreciative of that," Miller said.
She also notified staff at the Show Me Center, where the adjoining show was being held, of the situation at the Osage Centre.
Miller said she didn't know of any similar incidents that had occurred during the 39-year history of the arts and crafts show.
The council staff made the decision to refund the vendor's booth fee and give automatic rebooking status to the vendor for next year's show.
Miller said Sunday evening that other vendors in the show began a collection for the vendor and presented her with $480 to help make up for the loss she incurred.
Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact the Cape Girardeau Police Department at 335-6621.

Resurrection: Worship during the Great Fifty DaysAn advance copy of a long, detailed, and affirming review of my book The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ has just arrived (it will appear in Pro Ecclesia this fall). At the end, the reviewer observes that I do not have much to say about the Resurrection--except to insist (repeatedly) that the crucifixion and the Resurrection are a single, inseparable event--and he hopes that I will write a book about the Resurrection.
I am sorry to disappoint anyone, but there will be no book from me about the Resurrection. I hope that readers will correct me if I am wrong, but I have never read a book about the Resurrection that seemed adequate to me. I think words and comprehension fail us at this point, and only proclamation works: "The Lord has risen, and has appeared to Simon!" "He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him!" "For now is Christ risen from the dead!" Even my beloved Karl Barth lets me down on this subject, and my almost-favorite commentary on the Fourth Gospel (by Rudolph Bultmann, believe it or not) is hopeless on the Resurrection. My writings about the Resurrection, such as they are, appear in the collection of my sermons called The Undoing of Death.
I believe that the Resurrection lives in the worship and the continuing life of the Body of Christ. This morning I attended a service at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit in Orleans on Cape Cod. For me, the service was an embodiment of the Resurrection. This is partly--but not entirely--because the rector, Adam Linton, was a member of the Russian Orthodox Church for twenty years, after graduating from Gordon-Conwell. The Orthodox Church is known for its emphasis on the Resurrection, and Fr. Linton absorbed this well. (He is also, be it noted, an exponent of the theology of the cross, and is thereby an exemplar of the teaching that the cross and Resurrection should be understood as a single, inseparable event.)
The service began with the customary Easter Acclamation ("Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed!") and the singing of a rousing Easter hymn: "We know that Christ is raised and dies no more." There was something added, however. The congregation at Holy Spirit is obviously practiced in saying "The Lord is risen indeed!" (or, "He is risen indeed!"); it was said again, enthusiastically, at the end of the sermon, and again at the offertory.
The long, somewhat difficult first reading for the day, Acts 11:1-18, was exceptional. The lay reader read slowly, carefully, with understanding and, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer counseled, "with inmost rapport" as if being spoken to directly by the Word of God--not addressing the people herself, but as one being addressed--thereby conveying the awe and wonder of discovery in the final line, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life!"
The sermon was on John 13:31-35, and specifically the theme of glory (doxa) in John. At the Last Supper, Jesus says, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified." This saying occurs immediately after Judas leaves the table "and it was night." In the Fourth Gospel, Jesus' "hour of glory" is the hour that he is "lifted up" on the cross. Thus, again, the cross and the power of the Resurrection are linked. In the Eucharist, Paul writes, "we remember the Lord's death until he comes" (I Corinthians 11:26). In the passage from John, it is clear that the Lord's Supper is a participation in his glory.
The prayers of the people, very well and audibly read by a layman, were obviously written to address not only the concerns of the community but also the issues of the day, with an eloquent appeal for the healing of our political process. I did not know until the service was over that the prayers of the people at Holy Spirit are written every week by none other than Dilys Smith, widow of Frank Smith who was the beloved organist-choirmaster at Grace Church in New York during most of my 14 years there. Most parishes can find a person who is gifted to write special prayers, and when it is well done it makes an unforgettable impression, week by week. (Not to praise Dilys overmuch, but it was also she who read the lesson from Acts.)
In this case, the petitions this Easter season each concluded with the words, "in the power of the Resurrection, we rejoice, saying..." and the congregation responded each time with "Glory to you, O Lord, glory to you!" By the time of communion, therefore, it was clear to everyone that this was an Easter service, and that the "new commandment" that we should love one another as Jesus has loved us is given to us through the power and the glory of the self-giving of the Lord.
We live in a time when, for most people, Easter is one day and then forgotten. But worship like this is worthy of the Great Fifty Days, and it makes the resurrection alive in our hearts and in our lives.
(And by the way, when I had dinner with the rector and his wife in their home, the meal began with the usual grace and then, unexpectedly, with the raising of wine glasses and "He is risen!" How joyful!)

Two superb movies about the financial crisis of 2008, each with a moral impactTwo of my favorite movies in recent years deal with a subject that I don't understand: high finance. (I don't understand low finance either; I'm the aging lady holding up the line at the supermarket checkout.) Both of these films delve into the reprehensible finaglings by the big banks and mortgage brokers that caused the financial meltdown of 2008. I've watched Margin Call (2011) four times, which is one more time than I have ever watched any movie in my entire life. I've watched The Big Short (2015) twice, the second time very closely, stopping it and rewinding it every few minutes in order to analyze it and understand it as best I can (which is not very much). I'm trying to figure out why these films about a subject I don't understand impress me so deeply.
For one thing, it's obvious even to an amateur like me that there is great skill involved--skill in writing, acting, pacing, momentum, camera work, directorial authority. Margin Call gets the palm for writing, because the director, J. C. Chandor, also wrote the original script. The Big Short was also written, or rather co-written, by the director, Adam McKay, based on the respected non-fiction book (2010) of the same name by Michael Lewis.
The most obvious immediate difference between the two is that whereas Margin Call takes place in 24 hours at just one bank (bearing a very close resemblance to Lehman Bros.), The Big Short covers many months, many banks, many hedge funds. But the aspect of The Big Short that interests me from an ethical standpoint is that it makes glancing references along the way at the pain and suffering that came, and continue to come, as a result of the gleeful financial maneuverings of the characters in the movie who are driven solely by their passion for making money. The fact that these references are glancing somehow makes the point more powerfully than a lot of lingering would do--as I'll try to indicate.
The Big Short opens with a snappy run-through of how, starting in the 70s, "boring old banking went from the country club to the strip club" until 2008, when the whole structure came crashing down. Soon after, we see the principal character, Mark Baum (a real person played by Steve Carell), in a profane, wildly inappropriate interruption of a meeting, setting off the farcical tone of much of the movie. We laugh, and we barely notice that his indignation concerns the contempt for "working people" shown by his counterparts in high finance. This theme will not return for an hour or two, as we watch the mostly youthful hedge fund managers and other operators go about their inspired but deeply cynical betting ("shorting") against the housing market. Led by Christian Bale in an amazing performance as Michael Burry, a one-eyed financial genius with some form of Asperger's, the youthful central characters have learned what the mandarins in a kind of willed blindness have refused to see. Some of these scenes are hilarious, with very good actors playing off each other with amusing facial expressions. The reactions of the big banks (Deutsche, Bear Sterns, Goldman Sachs, etc.) when Burry shells out mega-millions from his hedge fund to "short" the market are priceless, as they believe they have put one over on this very strange fund manager from California. It gets laugh-out-loud funny when the two youngest among the money men try to pitch their fund to Morgan Chase, the only bank that has agreed to see them. They receive a mortifying brush-off in the lobby at five minutes to five PM from a sharply-dressed subordinate who looks younger than they do, greets them with, "Have a seat a second," perches on the arm of a chair, shoots his cuffs with effortless superiority, heaps disdain on their proposal, and cheerfully caps off their humiliation with "Have a good one, guys," as he zooms out the door. The two rejects (Charlie and Jamie) have their revenge, however, because they coincidentally come upon the trail of the Burry express and from that point on, the movie becomes unstoppable -- as does the arrival of the market collapse. It's all tremendous fun, and horrifying as well, which is a difficult trick to pull off. I think Adam McKay manages it.
Here's my main point. As the plot rockets along, there are two scenes that are very brief and not emphasized, so understated that I really didn't recall them the first time I watched, but the second time they registered powerfully. Two of the callow young hedge fund operators are sent to Miami by their boss, Mark Baum, to a new housing development 45 minutes out in the exurbs (as they deplane, one of them says, "I just hope there are some good Cuban restaurants"). They are supposed to be gathering data about the housing bubble. They see abandoned condos, unfinished rental housing, uncollected newspapers piled up on stoops. "It's like Chernobyl," says one. Finally an actual inhabitant answers a doorbell--a very large, heavily tattooed, black-bearded man in a tank top who looks quite scary but whose manner is surprisingly mild. The young traders tell him they are looking for his landlord, who is 90 days delinquent in paying the mortgage. The big man blinks; it appears that the mortgage is registered in the name of the landlord's dog. It's extremely funny, and yet not; the big man is stricken as it dawns on him that his landlord has not been paying the mortgage. He says, with a soft earnestness, "It's not my fault, I've been paying my rent, dude." A little boy comes up and attaches himself to his father. The big man looks as if he's going to cry. "Am I going to have to leave, man? My son was just getting settled in school." "You should talk to your landlord," says the young trader, "You have a great day." End of scene.
The big bearded man and the son appear again very briefly, at the very end. More about that in a minute.
The pace continues to pick up, and various short scenes give us glimpses of the venality of the banks. We are introduced to two truly loathsome young mortgage brokers (almost everybody is young in this racket) who do NINJA loans ("no money, no job") and have made tons of money. They specialize in immigrants who don't understand what they're signing. They cackle with profane glee when they're asked by Mark and his team whether they've ever turned down an applicant. They laugh at such an absurd question. Mark asks his team, "Why are they confessing?" "They aren't confessing," says one, sobered at last by his trip to Miami; "they're bragging." Even viewers like me who don't understand any of the financial details are beginning to get the picture.
Scene follows upon madcap scene to show the depth of the greed, lies, deceptions, and profoundly cynical manipulation that went on (and presumably still go on) in the world of high finance. The scenes at a conference in Las Vegas are particularly incisive, especially the wonderfully acted dinner conversation between the increasingly horrified Mark Baum and a preternaturally cool, slick Asian character who trades in worthless bonds (played with spectacular style by Byron Mann). Again, it is all shockingly funny. Charlie and Jamie--the "garage band hedge fund" duo--are so appalled when the banks start selling their worthless bonds that they go to a friend from college at The Wall Street Journal. He refuses to touch the story, despite their passionate attempts to show that, as Jamie almost shouts, "This level of criminality is unprecedented, even on f**g Wall Street!"
Mark Baum, whose blunt, inconsiderate ways were offputting at first, becomes the moral center of the movie, if one can speak of morality in the midst of such wholesale villainy. Another highlight is a meeting where Mark speaks to the fat cats, the Wall Street types pristine in ties, while the hedge fund guys, casual and tieless, follow the plummeting market on their phones even as they sit there. Mark assails the bankers: "Average people are going to have to pay for this, because they always, always do." As the numbers sink and sink, most of the people in the audience jump up and vacate the room in order to get on their phones. The collapse predicted by Burry has arrived. In niftily edited clips we see the announcement of the demise of Lehmann Brothers crawling across one of the neon news tickers. The stunned Lehmann employees are herded out of their building forever, almost like driven cattle, toting big cardboard boxes with their hastily packed belongings. Vinnie, one of Mark's team, sits on the steps of St Bartholomew's Church (I'm not sure why that location) and telephones Mark. Mark is sitting in deep despair on the balcony of his posh apartment overlooking Central Park. He is not in despair for his own investors, since he will cash out in the mega-millions. He is despairing for the suffering that he knows will come to the "average people," the "immigrants and poor people."
We also see Burry, preparing to shut down his fund. His skill and prescience has earned 2.69 billion. He is typing out a letter to his investors. We hear him reading it in a voice-over: "Making money is not like I thought it would be. This business kills the part of life that is essential -- the part that has nothing to do with business." As he continues to write/speak in this vein, we see a gas station and a run-down car. The car has cheap suitcases and a gasoline container tied on top with ropes. A man emerges from the car, and a little boy is running around. A frazzled-looking red-haired woman chases him and scoots him into the back of the car where a little girl is sitting. The man comes around to the car door and gathers the woman into a long, desperate embrace. We see the tattoos on his arms and suddenly realize that it is the big man with the delinquent, lying landlord. He and his family have been evicted. The scene is so brief, less than a minute, that it is easy to miss, but the point is made far more effectively than if it had been allowed to go on and on. In this one man, this one family, we see in microcosm the outcome of the greed and deception at the top that caused millions to lose their homes and their livelihoods. We then see the two creepy young mortgage brokers, looking bewildered and emptied-out, in a crowd of people at a jobs fair -- we are glad to see them get their comeuppance, but at the same time we also recall a scene in which Ryan Gosling, playing Jared, one of the investors who saw the collapse coming and acted accordingly, lovingly strokes a check made out to him for $47,000,000.00 (that's not a typo). Jared does not see the big man with his cheap suitcases and his children in the rundown car, but Mark does. That's why Mark, whose fund will equal a billion when he sells everything, is the moral conscience of the film.
As the movie ends, we are told that only one banker ever went to jail. And the words appear,
When the dust settled, five trillion dollars had disappeared. 8 million people lost their jobs, 6 million lost their homes. And that was just in the USA.The credits roll alongside a rapid series of alternating images: a signature being affixed to a subprime mortgage, foreclosure signs, eviction notices, food stamps, furniture and possessions piled on a curb, hands sorting through coupons...and on the other hand a private helicopter, a yacht, a closet of bespoke suits, flutes of champagne.
This has been a very long review, and I left out a lot. I didn't even mention Brad Pitt, one of the producers, who is extremely effective in his role as a big-time trader gone to the vegan-and-subsistence-farming life in Arizona. What I've tried to do in this idiosyncratic recital of certain features of the movie is to show how The Big Short manages to be non-stop funny and propulsively engaging while still having a distinctly moral point of view. Most of the big-screen, wide-release movies being made today have no clear point of view at all; they are just entertainment. Both The Big Short and Margin Call are both grown-up films. They ask something of their audience: reflection, and perhaps some righteous indignation.

Soccer players enjoy celebrating goals. It's as if it was the most important thing they can do on the soccer field (update: it is).
We are only four days into the World Cup and there's already been some phenomenal and somewhat uncomfortable goal-scoring celebrations on display. Here are some of the best moves we've seen.
The "I am crazy and I don't know where I am"
Chile's Jorge Valdivia appeared to have a momentary bout of insanity (justified) after his goal against Australia.
The "Wrecking Ball"
Robin van Persie scored an OK goal against Spain, and showed everyone he's a big fan of the MTV Music Awards and pop stars that are constantly on the verge of a meltdown.
It also inspired a number of tributes, including a very nice flipbook.
The "Happy hour at the club"
A very happy Colombia broke out what may or may not have been a fully choreographed dance move after their first goal against Greece.
The "I'm having a baby and I may be a toddler"
Joel Campbell scored and immediately got pregnant with a soccer ball and started sucking his thumb like a toddler and now I have no idea what that was.
The "I may cry or throw up I don't know which"
Mexico manager Miguel Herrera was elated and jumpy when his team broke through against Cameroon.

The Edmonton Oilers have signed Mike Comrie to a low-risk one-year contract worth just $1.125 million.
Fantasy Impact: Interesting move, given the way Comrie left the team. But let's face facts - he had huge promise in Edmonton and was making strides towards showing it. Then he left the Oilers, floundered with four different teams, and is now worth just over a million bucks. Going back to where he had success is a solid move and it just might pan out. Sam Gagner may have something to say about it though, as the youngster is ready to assume second-line duties. Comrie could end up on the third line in Edmonton with an upside of 45 points. What could change that is an injury to either Gagner or Shawn Horcoff, in which case Comrie could really surprise by getting back to his productive ways. That's a pretty big if though. For now, pencil him in for 45 points or so and leave your Gagner and Horcoff predictions unchanged.
The move adds skilled, experienced depth, so those depth wingers may see a small perk in their points (maybe five extra points). Wingers such as Robert Nilsson and Dustin Penner.
Prospect Jordan Eberle will certainly not make the team now, if that was in doubt before.

Comments about 'Governor calls for audits following massive data breach at health department'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Technically and according to GRAMMA laws the state cannot have secret
information from the public and this breech is just a part of the inherent
hazards and the level of insecure technology in use today.
Most important breech that should concern the Governor is why does a public health department have so much privileged and private information on the lives and health care of citizens of the United States? This department knows more about the citizens of the US than the welfare department, tax department, and schools know about who is looting this taxes from us.
It's time that the Board of Health and Utah government and police be denied access to this information. Then use it as public information to leverage personal financial information to destroy the financial lives of those getting a return on their personal benefits and entitlements.
Its the kind of illegal information and knowledge that the FBI should be adjudicating and penalizing the state for having. Just because the state has our Medicare and Medicaid funds does not entitle them to our personal information privileged to doctors and patients.

2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ 4dr Extended Cab 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
I purchased my Silverado in Jun 2009, I upgraded from the Chevy Avalanche, yes upgraded. The Silverado is smooth, and cool. Fun to drive, handles like a car, moves like a Truck and this vehicle demands attention. The 20 Inch Tires, sleek Rims, Black with Silver Trim. I have also added the chrome light covers and some chrome to the tail gate. Looks very nice. This vehicle gets up and go. Very quiet. Bottom Line, Love it. Love the Active Fuel Management.
Wood grain interior/20 inch Rims, side step bars. Get up and go power. Onstar. AFM.
Add the six disc as standard.

Over the centuries, comic books and their offshoots, such as graphic novels, and bandes dessinees have evolved into a phenomenally popular, influential, and unique art form with which we can express our opinions, our fantasies, our nightmares, and our dreams. In short: comics are emphatically no longer just for kids. This diverse, constantly evolving medium is truly coming into its own in the 21st century, from Hollywood's blockbuster adaptations of super-powered caped crusaders to the global spread of Japan's manga and its spinoffs, and from award-winning graphic novels such as Maus and Persepolis to new forms such as online webcomix. But comics also have a long and rich history, dating back at least to the Swiss teacher Rodolphe Topffer in the early 19th century, and far earlier in China.1001 Comic Books You Must Read Before You Die is the perfect introduction to this dynamic and globally popular medium. There have been other guides to the best comic books, but none has embraced every genre and scoured the globe to glean the very greatest works of sequential art, graphic literature, bandes dessinees, tebeos, fumetti, manga, manhwa, komiks, strips, historietas, quadrinhos, beeldverhalen, and plain old comics.This authoritative guide is organized according to the year of first publication in the country of origin. An opening section acknowledges pioneering pre-1900 masterpieces, followed by sections divided by decade, creating a fascinating year-by-year chronicle of the comics medium worldwide.

Weather & Field Status Update
Saturday April 23 7:30 AM: All fields are OPEN
All fields are OPEN for today and all games and practices are ON as scheduled. We needed that rain yesterday and the fields are in great shape. The grass may be a bit wet in the early games so coaches should be sure to bring towels to keeps the baseballs dry. Looks like it will be a spectacular weekend. Thanks to all for staying off the fields yesterday - the fields respond so much better when they sit still and don't get chewed up.
As always, cages are open, but do not use them in the event of steady rain, lightning or dangerous, frigid or sloppy conditions. Thunder & Lightning Safety Plan

Thunder & Lightning Safety Plan
Thunder & Lightning Safety Plan for NYO's Fields at Chastain Park.
* All play or practice is suspended
* All players, coaches, umpires, officials and spectators should leave the field and seek shelter immediately!
Move to a sturdy enclosed structure or a fully enclosed vehicle with the windows rolled up. No place is absolutely safe from a lightning threat, however some places are safer than others. Stay away from:
* Keep off of fields, common areas and any area of higher elevation.
* Avoid Tall isolated objects, such as flag poles, light poles or trees.
* Keep away all metal fences, bleachers and batting cages.
* Avoid all water and water fountains.
Safety is the number one consideration - common sense and good judgment should be used at all times.
Parents dropping off unattended children should have a safety plan in place for their child.
Do not return until the all clear is sounded – 3 quick 5 second horn blasts.
NOTE – For offsite NYO games or practices, umpires and coaches should follow the same safety guidelines if they hear thunder or see lightning. Play or practice shall not be resumed until there has been a minimum all clear period of 15 minutes – again common sense and good judgment should be used at all times.
Thank you!
NYO Football 2016 Season - Registration
Dugout Doings: 'Life is found when we give it away'
For as long as most folks can remember, NYO has played baseball on the charming field behind St. John United Methodist Church on Mt. Paran Road. For the last two years, the Rev. John Purrington, who ministers to the St. John congregation as its senior pastor, has managed an International league team that plays most of its games on that field. His players know him as Coach John.
His love of baseball and God, not necessarily in that order, live in his words and deeds. A sign in front of the church announces a sermon series entitled, 'It Ain't Over Till It's Over.' From April 10 to June 26, Rev. Purrington will preach 12 sermons that take 'some of the best Yogiisms to bat with Scripture in the grand game of discipleship,' according to a promotional piece in the church's foyer. 'Yogi Berra was well known for his malapropisms and uncommon wisdom.' There's also a card inviting church members to come root for Rev. John's International A's, who play 11 of their 13 regular-season games on the St. John field.

Team pictures this weekend- RAIN OR SHINE
Baseball and softball team pictures are this weekend, Thursday-Sunday. Every team has a scheduled time before or after a game. Pictures scheduled at NYO will be taken behind the right field fence of the Jane Wilkins field. Baseball teams playing at St. John's UMC or Sarah Smith fields on Saturday will take pictures at those fields.
In the event of rain, pictures are STILL ON. If your game is rained out, teams in black font on the schedule will have pictures taken in the Dowis building. Teams in red font on the schedule will have pictures taken in the NYO gym. To open attachements with the schedules click on the title of this article. Team moms/ dads have the schedules and order forms. Thank you!
Security Cameras on their way
Thanks to the diligent work of our City Council member Yolanda Adrean, the NYO area of Chastain Park will be getting 2 security cameras installed. The cameras will have a direct feed into zone 2 of the Atlanta Police Department. One of the cameras will be placed behind Garr Field and will thus cover the area in front of the gym and the front entrance to the park, off of West Wieuca Road. The other camera will be placed next to the Austin Armstrong Field of Dreams parking lot, to cover the entrance to the park off of Lake Forrest Drive.
NYO is trying to address and hopefully limit the vexing problem of unattended vehicle smash-and-grabs, which have been a problem in Chastain Park as a whole for several years. We would like to get back to the good old days, when the only damage to cars was done by foul balls.
Pictured above, next to the new camera behind the Garr Field, are Councilmember Yolanda Adrean, Atlanta Police officer Drew Bahry, and NYO T-ballers John Weaver, Anslee Ricksgers and Mason Ricksgers.
Dugout Doings: A reunion for NYO alumni
How many young men and women grew up on the ball fields and basketball courts of NYO? How many parents coached, served as team moms or volunteered for other tasks? The answer: No one knows for sure, but it's in the thousands --- several thousands.
For the overwhelming majority NYO is a warm memory ---a first hit, a great catch, a hard tackle, a clutch basket. For too many, that's all NYO is. Some return to coach or help out, but most have lost touch. On Saturday afternoon, May 21, NYO will take a tentative step toward reconnecting with 'alumni.' Led by a longtime coach and a handful of 20-something former athletes, NYO will stage its first-ever alumni softball game.

NYO Alumni Off to a Hot Start in AA
NYO alums Kyle Farmer and Chesny Young both kicked off their 2016 seasons in grand style. Kyle, a Marist and UGA grad in the LA Dodgers organization, had a single and threw a runner out while batting second and playing catcher for the AA Tulsa Drillers. Chesny, a Marist and Mercer grad in the Chicago Cubs organization, homered on the first pitch he saw and went on to collect another single, two walks, a stolen base and score another run while batting second and playing 2B for the AA Tennessee Smokies. Looks like the off season work Chesny put in around our park this winter sure paid off. AA baseball is a top notch level where many teams' top prospects play before moving up to AAA or direct to the Majors.
Both Kyle and Chesny are NYO lifers from tee ball through Pony and their famlies remain very close to the program, in particular Ken Young, our webmaster and Pony league director. It's great to see all the work they put when the boys were young still paying off. We'll be keeping a watch on both young men as they progress through the season and sounds like there may be a few NYO road trippers out there catching some Southern League action where Chesny plays.
Here's a link to see Chesny's HR: http://www.wbir.com/sports/smokies-win-season-opener/125387311
Dugout Doings: The joy of coaching
Six years ago I managed my last game at NYO. Since then, I've had a rotator cuff repaired, a hip replaced (small prices to pay for a lifetime of fun) and I've chronicled the stories of the men, women and children of NYO in these Dugout Doings essays. Two weeks ago an email arrived that reminded me of why I spent two decades coaching.
It came from an old friend who is now --- like me --- a grandfather. He once was a college baseball player, and I greatly admired his skills when we played as 40-somethings in Atlanta's Men's Senior Baseball League. His 8-year-old grandson was struggling at the plate (three strikeouts in his last game and nothing close to a hit yet). Would I mind offering some suggestions? We set a time for after school that day. As I gathered the bag of wiffle balls and dusted off baseball-teaching gear, I felt like a doctor called in for an important consultation.

Dugout Doings: Che's long walk in the park
Fifteen years ago, Che Barbour took a walk around Chastain Park and spotted a sign for volunteer baseball coaches at NYO. He and a buddy, Jeff Woolverton, signed up and landed an International team of nine and ten-year-olds. 'We got our butts kicked,' Jeff remembers. 'We had no clue what we were doing,' Che echoes. That's how it started for two of NYO's leading coaches today. 'There's no better person out here,' Jeff says of his one-time roommate. 'It's his integrity. It's what he does for kids. He's not a yeller, but he's not a softy, either. He commands respect.'
Fifteen years later, at 43, Che Barbour is what NYO's growing cadre of 20 and 30-something coaches should aspire to be. Brad Glenn, another long-time and leading NYO coach, pays Che the highest compliment of all. He says he would be proud to have any of his children play on a team Che coaches. Fifteen years is a lot of time to spend doing anything, let alone with children who are not yours.

Dugout Doings: Miss Jane Forever
You could tell she was nervous when she stepped onto the field that bears her name. Even though she was surrounded by family and friends, Jane Wilkins stood alone in the spotlight of NYO Opening Day. For more than 40 years (the last 35 as executive director), Miss Jane has taken care of everyone else. Now, all who love her wanted to say thank you. At the end of this baseball/fastpitch softball season, Jane Wilkins will retire.
'She's not just our executive director,' Baseball Commissioner Cliff Barshay told the crowd. 'She's also one of our finest volunteers and now she's an emeritus board member.' Then, turning to Jane's family, Cliff added: 'We appreciate your letting us have her for 40 years.'
