Dewitt Jordan - A genius who carried on
HELENA, Ark. -- Dewitt Jordan liked oil paints as much as he did whiskey. Vivid works on canvas became his legacy. Heavy drinking became part of his undoing.
A quarter-century after he was shot and killed in Memphis, Tenn., an exhibit of 21 works has opened at the Delta Cultural Center in downtown Helena, about 50 miles south of Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi River.
"Dewitt Jordan, Delta Artist: Genius at Work" depicts life in the impoverished Mississippi Delta. Most striking are his paintings of black cotton-pickers and sharecroppers, but the show also includes commissioned portraits of Southern white aristocrats.
"Dewitt drank and carried on, but he was serious about (his art)," said George Hunt, a Memphis artist. "He frequented the juke joints and reproduced the images he saw. Like most geniuses, his work was not recognized until his death. And he knew that would happen."
Using oils, Jordan painted realistic scenes, employing strong contrasts between light and shadows, while generously applying color to reflect those seen in rural Southern farming communities. Browns, yellows and greens dominate.
Hunt said Jordan's unique ability to depict poverty, agrarian life and racism drew adoration from artists but contempt from some members of the black community, who said the paintings reinforced painful stereotypes.
Jordan was born in Nashville, Tenn., in 1932. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Helena, where they owned and operated a funeral home. He eventually kept a studio above the mortuary.
He graduated from segregated Eliza Miller High School in Helena in 1951. Although he had toyed with watercolors and pastels as a young boy, Jordan did not have his first formal art lesson until college. He received an undergraduate degree from East Tennessee State University and studied at the California School of Arts and Crafts, San Francisco State and the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.
In the late 1950s, he worked for Warner Bros. as a sketch artist, producing show cards to promote movies.
"He didn't like the commercial stuff for Warner Bros.," said Dollnetta Jordan, Jordan's second of three wives. "That's why he left that job. He enjoyed the farming community, the black struggle, racism and politics."
Jordan left the West Coast for New York to concentrate on portrait painting but left for Arkansas a year later.
"His roots were in the South, even though he knew his potential would never be realized in the South," Hunt said.
And his drinking was notorious. His former wife said Jordan would listen to classical music and drink while painting nude models. Sometimes, he was naked himself. Hunt said Jordan always had a half-pint of Wild Turkey in his hand and loved to stroll down the street, taking occasional swigs.
"When he was drinking, he wanted to be like John Wayne," Hunt said. "Dewitt never got involved in a fight, but he would cut you up verbally."
The Jordans' children, Vince Jordan and Cynthia Jordan-Hubbard, remembered the nights their father would smoke a pipe filled with Turkish tobacco and labor over a canvas, capturing every detail.
"On his painting 'Guitar Man,' he spent a couple of extra days doing the veins in the man's arms just right," said his son, a systems engineer in Washington.
After years of encouragement, Hunt persuaded Jordan to move to Memphis.
"There was an opportunity to sell his work more than in Helena," Hunt said. "Dewitt had the potential to make a hip-pocket-full of money."
A private developer purchased one of Jordan's first major works to hang in the lobby of the Rivermont Hotel. The painting, "Birth of the Blues," is now displayed at the First Tennessee Bank.
The bold-colored work shows a group of cotton-pickers singing and playing instruments on a dock on the Mississippi River. Jordan also was paid to paint a portrait of Lt. George W. Lee, a city legend in black politics. And he was known for his portraits of Martin Luther King Jr. and Sammy Davis Jr.
Art collectors in Memphis began to take note. After art buyer Beverly Goodwin Sousoulas saw Jordan's "Birth of the Blues," she commissioned the artist.
"He was eccentric and crazy," said Sousoulas, who introduced Jordan to other potential patrons. "He was so talented, so creative. He could paint, he could act, he could write -- if he had lost his hands, he could have become a singer."
Sousoulas said Jordan visited her the night of his death. She said he had been drinking and told her that he got into an argument with his third wife.
"I tried to get him to go home and sleep it off, but he wouldn't," she said.
No one, including his family, seems to know what happened the night Jordan was shot to death in Memphis.
Jordan's mother suffered a stroke three years ago and was left in a coma -- his father had already died. His aunt, Thelma Kelley, said she attended the opening of her nephew's show in February.
"The exhibit is wonderful," Kelley said. "His mother would be thrilled."
Art collectors from Arkansas and Tennessee are loaning the works to the Delta Cultural Center, located at 141 Cherry Street in downtown Helena. The show runs through December.

The Turkish flagged Bulk Carrier Yasin C was hijacked on April 7 approximately 250 Nautical Miles east of Mombasa. The Yasin C, with deadweight of 36 318 tonnes, left the IRTC almost one week ago and was heading to Mombasa. The Turkish owned and operated Yasin C has a crew of 25 and all are believed to be Turkish. It is understood that first reports of the attack on the ship came from the NATO Turkish warship Gelibolu that received distress calls from the Yasin C. EU NAVFOR, who works closely with NATO and CMF, continues to monitor the situation.

Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
He's been harping on it throughout October.
But Jazz coach Jerry Sloan knows the subject often goes in one ear and out the other, typically without taking time out to bump the brain.
"Nobody wants to hear about defense," Sloan said, "but you need it to win."
The Jazz struggled last season because of their dearth of it, and it could be a death sentence for this season — which gets under way for Utah with a visit to defending Northwest Division champ Denver on Wednesday night — if it doesn't drastically improve.
"Every day in practice we work on it," shooting guard Ronnie Brewer said. "We're never content with where we're at.
"I don't think any team plays perfect defense, but as long as you get better and keep on working at it, I think in the long run … we will win games because of defense.
"I don't think we're there yet," he added, "but in spurts I think we look really good. … I think in the preseason this year we took more charges than we did all last year, so that says a lot that guys are willing to help and give up their body for the team. With guys doing that, I think we'll be a good team."
It's all much easier said, though, than done.
And it's been that way, Sloan suggested, from Day 1.
"I've never heard anybody in my life say they told their kid to go out in the backyard and work on their defense with a new ball," he said.
"They tell them to go shoot it, and that's what everybody does."
That includes the 2008-09 Jazz, and this season's version as well.
"We are an offensive-thinking team," Sloan said. "All of our players are offensive thinkers.
"To get (committed defense) out each individual," he added, "sometimes is difficult to do."
To alter the mind-set, Sloan has drilled the Jazz with Defense 101 since training camp got under way one month ago.
"It's getting a lot better," power forward Paul Millsap said. "You can tell that guys are out there trying to get stops. Especially in the preseason, everybody's giving their all on the defensive end — and hopefully it will carry over to the regular season."
But it certainly wasn't there last season, with breakdowns attributed to combination of components.
Hustling back to break up fast breaks. Being in the right spot on the floor. Stopping the ball.
Helping. Communicating. Rotating.
Simply staying committed.
Which matters most — and which was accomplished least — can be debated until the kid with the ball gets called home.
It all plays a part, as does heart.
"I'm not sure if any of it is 'selfish' — or is it just miscommunication? Most of the time we're not communicating on defense," Millsap said. "One guy (goes) to help, another guy (doesn't) help the helper — that's a lot where it's at. It's not due to selfishness, or anything of that nature."
Or is it?
"I guess (we) just didn't have a will to do it. That's everybody down the line," Millsap said. "Some of it could be (that). You know, who knows? I mean, you never know what anybody's thinking."
"Whatever it is," Brewer added, "we've to put that behind us and move on and try to get better for this year. What happened last year last happened last year. This is a new season."
Yet there is the potential for it to be fraught with all the same problems.
It's for that reason Sloan is willing to dangle minutes on the floor like a carrot, if need be.
"If some guys start jacking shots up and not playing any defense, that's another thing we'll take, hopefully, a better look at," Sloan said.
What flusters Sloan most, understand, is that he feels his players are able.
Just not always willing.
And that bad attitude comes with a price.
"If you're selfish on the defensive end," Sloan said, "both (offense and defense) are gonna struggle.
"Everybody is capable of defending. It's just getting it out of them," he added. "You get in a comfort zone, you know? I'm probably to blame for most of that. But we'll work on it and see if we can do a better job."

Ways students can team up with schools to stop teen reckless driving?
Education. The groups must inform each other that drinking and driving is just stupid. Someone has to be responsible in the group and must be firm against peer pressure.
You could also make it that if somebody decides to violate the law then they would be swiftly reported by their own peers.
Car-pool to make sure your driver doesn't use a cell phone or if they have been drinking.
Every week decide on who can be the designated driver if you are doing a car-pool, that person must not do anything silly to have him/her end up being reckless, also have a back up person just in case.
Thank you all!

We spent a magical New Year's eve in the Big Apple Me and my girlfriend decided just a few days before Christmas to spend our New Years Eve in Time Square in NY. We were looking for a really nice place to stay for 3 days and we end up booking an apartment on the 10...moreth Ave in Manhattan, trough www.roomlender.com. For around the same money that we were suppose to pay at a New York hotel, we could actually rent a luxurious New York one bedroom apartment that came equipped with everything. We had large screen TV's, Xbox and a full equipped kitchen so we could make our own breakfast or snack. We choose this location se we can be really close to downtown and feel the New York beat every minute of our stay and we are really happy that we could find this apartment in such a short time. Roomlender has a lot of bookings for New York and all of them are really nice places that can make anyone feel like home. We really looking forward for our next vacation . view less

My name is Monica, i am from Dallas. I have a full time job, and i usually do not travel that much. Recently i met a guy from Chicago and after few weeks of talking on the phone, he invited me over for Christmas. I didn't wanted to stay at his place for almost a week, so i...more decided to find a cheaper place than a hotel room. Luckily i found a website, www.room;lender.com, that has a lot of places for short term rentals in Chicago. So i rented an apartment just across the Millennium Park. Really nice place, downtown, so i was able, for those 5 days that i spent in Chicago, to go to every museum, and known buildings in downtown. Since i get along just fine with the guy i went there for, i will definitely go back to Chicago in a month or so. And i will try to get the same place from roomldender.com, so i can feel home when i get back there.view less
Hello. I am from Lyon, France. I just came back from a business trip in Unites States, Chicago. I had a nice time, besides my working hours i got to visit the city. I had a rented apartment just across the Millennium Park. Really nice location, downtown, close to bars and ...morerestaurants, and museums. The city looks great by night!!!! I will definitely go back when I'll have a chance. And i will try to get the same place if i can. I rented it trough a website, roomlender.com, which one of my coworkers recommended. The host was amazing, she took care of everything till my arrival and the most important thing: wasn't expensive at all! So i truly recommend this website if you need a place to stay in Chicago. view less

This invention relates generally to power delivery to electronic circuits and particularly to an improved power delivery system for supplying power from a power source to a processor.
In a typical computer system, a large printed circuit known as a "motherboard" contains a number of basic components. The motherboard is supplied with voltage from a power supply. The motherboard includes connectors for daughter boards that can be plugged in to provide additional capabilities. Such boards, for example, may provide an interface to disk drives and compact disk read only memories, and may provide modem interfaces for local area networks and the like.
Processors operate at lower voltages than some other components on the motherboard. However, because of their high speed, processors consume large amounts of power despite the fact that they use lower voltages. Since the processor is operating at a low voltage with high power, the current required by the processor is large. A localized DC-to-DC converter (known as a voltage regulator module (VRM) or power pod) reduces the main supply voltage for supplying the processor, for example. Typically for Intel 32 bit processors, this DC-to-DC converter plugs into a connector on the motherboard. The lower voltage is then conducted through printed circuit traces on the motherboard to the processor socket. For higher current Intel 64 bit processors, the DC-to-DC converter connects directly to the processor package through an edge connector because of the high loss associated with conveying power through two connectors and the motherboard as in Intel 32-bit systems. The power connector may also provide signal connections related to power supply issues.
Conventionally, the processor is plugged into the motherboard in a direction that is transverse to the plane of the motherboard. If the plane of the motherboard defines the X and Y directions, the processor is plugged into the motherboard in the Z-axis direction. In other words, the processor is moved from a position above the motherboard downwardly to plug into the motherboard. Conventionally, the DC-to-DC converter is plugged onto the processor package edge in a direction that is generally parallel to the surface of the motherboard (transverse to the Z-axis direction).
This configuration results in a number of difficulties. With the processor already attached to the motherboard, the action of plugging the converter into the processor carrier along the surface of the motherboard (e.g., the X-axis direction) is prone to interference from upwardly directed components already on the motherboard. Moreover, there is little room to manipulate the converter connections along the motherboard. The interconnection of the converter and the processor carrier is awkward, increasing the demands on assembly workers and requiring more elaborate interconnection devices. A complex rigid mount mechanism is used to align the processor package and the DC-to-DC converter in both the Z and X axis. This takes up a large amount of motherboard real estate.
Thus, there is a need for an improved way of delivering power to a processor package edge.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of one embodiment of the invention in the course of assembly;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, partial, bottom plan view of the DC-to-DC converter substrate planar power contacts shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken generally along the line 4—4 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a partial exploded view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a component shown in FIG. 5.
Referring to FIG. 1, a processor power delivery system 10 enables a DC-to-DC converter 12 to be assembled to a processor carrier 18 in the Z-axis. The Z-axis (indicated by an arrow in FIG. 1) is the direction that is transverse to the surface of a motherboard 28 and transverse to the lengths of the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18.
The processor carrier 18 may be plugged into a socket 50 that in turn plugs into a motherboard 28, all in the Z-axis direction. A processor 52 may be attached on the carrier 18, for example using surface mount solder balls 20, to a connection layer 21. Thereafter, the converter 12, including components 54, may plugged atop the processor carrier 18 also in the Z-axis direction. This greatly facilitates the connection of the two units.
The converter 12 includes contacts 16 on its lower surface 14 to make direct surface to surface contact with the processor carrier 18. The contacts 16 communicate with the converter 12 components 54 through vias (not shown). The processor carrier 18 includes contacts 22 on its upper surface that mate with the contacts 16 when the carrier 18 and converter 12 are edge combined. The contacts 22 eventually electrically connect to power supply pins (not shown) on the processor 52 through connection layer 21. In one embodiment, the contacts 16 and 22 may each be formed of a copper land pattern.
A pair of upstanding alignment pins 24 a and 24 b on the processor carrier 18 pass through holes (not shown in FIG. 1) in the converter 12. This pin/hole connection aligns the contacts 16 and 22 and facilitates the clamping engagement between the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18.
Thus, referring to FIG. 2, the pins 24 a and 24 b pass completely through the converter 12 in one embodiment of the present invention. This engagement aligns the contacts 16 and 22 with respect to one another as the converter 12 is pressed down into firm engagement with the processor carrier 18 in the Z-axis direction.
Referring to FIG. 4, the converter 12 laps over an edge and electrically engages, in direct surface to surface contact, the processor carrier 18. The converter 12 and processor carrier 18 may be clamped together using clamping devices 38 and clamping housing 58. In one embodiment of the present invention, the pins 24 may be threaded and may be secured using threaded fasteners. However, other clamping devices may be utilized to maintain an even clamping force along the length of the contacts 16 and 22.
Referring to FIG. 3, the contacts 16 of the converter 12 include a first set of planar interdigitated contacts 16 a that may provide a power supply (Vcc) connection. A second set of planar interdigitated contacts 16 b may provide the ground (Vss) or return power connection. The interdigitation may be achieved through fingers 40, in one embodiment of the present invention. The interdigitation of the fingers 40 reduces the inductance of the power contacts 16 a and the ground contacts 16 b since mutual inductance is cancelled out by the interdigitated arrangement.
Power control signals (such as a PWRG00D signal) may also pass through the contacts 16 from the contacts 22. For example, a plurality of isolated power signal vias 34 may extend through the contacts 16. Similarly, vias 36 may pass through the process planar power contacts 22. The arrangement of the signal vias 34 and 36 is subject to considerable variation.
Alignment holes 26 are provided on the converter 12 for engagement with the alignment pins 24 on the processor carrier 18. The arrangement of the contacts 22 may be identical to that shown in FIG. 3 with the exception that the contacts 22 may include vias 36 to an internal copper land pattern (not shown) and may further include the vias 34 which extend through the contacts 16 for conduction of other signals.
The processor power delivery system 10 may include a plurality of components that may be resiliently clamped together between the housing 58 and the motherboard 28 as shown in FIG. 5. The housing 58 may include an upper surface with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 62 and a body 60. Formed in the body 60 is a corrugated spring 64. The ends 66 of the spring 64 may be held within the body 60 for example by molding the spring 64 into the body 60.
When the body 60 is pressed against the converter 12, the spring 64 vees are compressed, applying a uniform force through the body 60 to the converter 12. In one embodiment, the spring 64 may be formed of beryllium copper. It may be shaped in a corrugated shape with a plurality of vees extending into the spring 64 from above and below. Each of the vees may form a V-shaped compression spring pressed against either the body 60 or the converter 12. The arrangement of the corrugated spring 64 serves to make more uniform the forces applied through the body 60.
Ideally, the housing 58 supplies a substantially constant pressure over the life of the system 10. The spring 64 may be defined with the cold flow properties of the related substrates over time in mind. The housing 58 may be formed of extruded aluminum or plastic as two examples. In one embodiment, the housing 58 may be hinged and latched to clear the contact region and to allow for Z-axis assembly or replacement of components while providing a registration feature to align the underlying substrates.
Sandwiched between the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18 is a relatively low profile conductive polymer interconnect 68 including a polymer film 70 having captured therein conductive polymer contacts 72. In one embodiment of the present invention, the film 70 may be formed of kapton and the polymer contacts 72 may be formed of a polymer that has been made conductive for example by doping it with conductive particles such as silver particles or oriented metallic wires. In each case, the polymer contacts 72 may be formed of a plastic material that is relatively resilient so that the material may be compressed between the converter 12 and the carrier 18. The polymer contacts 72 produce a conductive contact between the converter 12 and the carrier 18. Moreover, because of the resilient nature of the interconnect 68, surface irregularities may be accounted for and more reliable interconnection may be achieved in some cases.
In some embodiments, the conductive polymer contacts 72 may be substantially thicker than the film 70. For example, in one embodiment, the contacts 72 may have a thickness four times that of the film 70.
As shown in FIG. 6, the interconnect 68 includes a pair of openings 74 to receive and pass the alignment pins 24 a and 24 b. The alignment pins 24 a and 24 b also act to precisely position the contacts 72 with respect to the converter 12 and the carrier 18. The pins 24 a and 24 b may extend upwardly through the interconnect 68 and the converter 12 and in one embodiment through the housing 58 for securement by securement devices 38 shown in FIG. 4. In other cases, as mentioned previously, a hinged clamping device may be positioned for selectively applying a clamping force to the converter 12 and carrier 18 through the body 60 and the spring 64.
The contacts 16 and 22 may be brought into direct, planar surface to surface contact with one another. The contacts 16 and 22 may be brought into direct engagement in the Z-axis direction, with the converter 12 atop the processor carrier 18. With the application of a compression force across the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18, good electrical contact may be obtained. The pins 56 on the socket 50 provide electrical communication with the motherboard 28.
Because the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18 may both be assembled in the Z-axis direction, the assembly of the processor power delivery system 10 is facilitated. Of course, it is not necessary that either the converter 12 or the processor carrier 18 be rigorously moved through the Z-axis direction. Instead, either or both of the converter 12 and the processor carrier 18 may be moved so as to have a component of displacement in the Z-axis direction relative to the plane of the motherboard 28. Since the contacts 16 and 22 meet along a common plane, the converter 12 may be moved onto the processor carrier 18 at any angle between the Z-axis and the plane of the motherboard 28.
The electrical performance may be optimized in some embodiments by modifying the patterning of the contacts 16 and 22 without re-tooling converter 12 or carrier 18 assemblies. Some embodiments may achieve a mechanical benefit from having a single axis of assembly.
While an embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6 using planar contacts, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to other designs as well. The combination of the spring 64 and the interconnect 68 may be particularly desirable because the pressure applied by the spring 64 may result in more even pressure applied to the conductive contacts 72 in some embodiments.
In an embodiment using conductive polymer contacts captured in a kapton film, the film may be formed by molding the conductive contacts into a previously formed film, as one example. Another way of forming the interconnect 68 includes shaking conductive contacts into holes in the film and then bonding the contacts in place. Generally, pressure may be applied to the contacts to increase their conductivity.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

Michigan State University (MSU), the Capital Area Transportation Authority and the city of East Lansing will use a $6.28 million grant to renovate the East Lansing Amtrak Station.The funding will be used for the Capital Area Multi-modal Gateway Project, which will serve as the transportation gateway to Michigan's capital city region. The project's total estimated cost comes to $9.48 million, with a local match from MSU via a long-term land lease of the property, valued at $3.2 million."This station provides a vital link for thousands of students and local commuters who pass through here every day to board a bus, hop a bike or take a train," said Robert Rivkin, general counsel of the U.S. Department of Transportation. "This is a great win for the Greater Lansing region, bringing an essential facility into the modern age, making it accessible for people with disabilities, improving safety for pedestrians and, above all, restoring a measure of civic pride to all who pass through here."The project was approved by the Federal Transit Administration for fiscal year 2012 Bus and Bus Facilities Program Livability Initiative funds. It provides excellent connectivity to the interstate, the regional transportation network, and bike and pedestrian pathways. It will help transition the regionally significant Trowbridge Road Commercial Corridor to one of the nation's leading research universities."This project will provide the infrastructure necessary to create a vibrant community with jobs, improved housing and an enhanced multi-modal transportation system," said Sandy Draggoo, CATA CEO/executive director. "These are long-awaited upgrades for the station. This is very good news for CATA, MSU and the City of East Lansing."The facility will be a tremendous benefit for MSU, said Fred Poston, MSU VP, finance and operations."Student use of mass transit is at an all-time high, as evidenced by the fact that this station and this line is the fastest growing in Michigan," he said. "In addition, it's particularly important that the MSU community have good connections to both Detroit and Chicago, something this enhanced facility will provide."As part of the project, current service will be expanded by the addition of Michigan Flyer service, increasing the number of routes between East Lansing and Detroit. In addition, CATA has negotiated with Megabus for service between Chicago and Detroit, and stops in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Ann Arbor. These new services will enhance the region's transportation options.Other project objectives include:
The company will transport passengers on the ramp side of the airport between all terminals serving the airline. The contract also includes preventative maintenance.
Will present Champion Bus unit at Schetky booth at the Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference and Tradeshow (formerly ALFA) in Denver May 9 to 12.

On the heels of Amazon Studios' official announcement that it has ordered the Zombieland pilot, Movies.com scored the first image of the project's stars. Above you can see Izabela Vidovic as Little Rock, Kirk Ward as Tallahassee, Maiara Walsh as Wichita and Tyler Ross as Columbus, roles played by Abigail Breslin, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg in the 2009 film.
Directed by Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil's Eli Craig, the pilot picks up two weeks after the climactic theme-park scene from the film. It will be presented online by along with the other pilots so viewers can watch and vote on which ones they'd like to see go to series.
If Zombieland does get picked up, the first season will follow a road-trip structure similar to the movie.
I feel like they could have worked a little harder to make the characters look more like their movie counterparts. For instance, Tallahassee needs less hair, more cool hat.
They should have just used original characters and set it within the same universe.
It used to be that the vampire well was brought dry in movies & tv, but now it's zombies. I'm getting pretty tired of even hearing the word zombies anymore. It needs to be given a rest for a bit, IMO.

High schools: Westmoore's Destinie Lookout took game to a new level
MOORE — Destinie Lookout likes a challenge, but she also wants to have some fun.
That's what slowpitch softball was to the Westmoore pitcher the past three years, while also turning into a display of her power at the plate.
"I didn't want to look at it as a challenge," Lookout said. "If I did bad, it was OK. If I did good, great. Slowpitch was fun for me, and that's what I wanted it to be."
This season, she took her game to a whole new level with a batting average mostly seen in video games at .732, while hitting 31 home runs and driving in 86 to earn The Oklahoman's All-City Player of the Year honors.
"She improved every year," Westmoore coach Steve Schwarz said. "She went from being a shy kid to really becoming more dedicated and more hardworking. You can really tell the last year or two she really kicked it in gear."
Lookout, who has signed to play fastpitch at Oklahoma as a corner infielder, said she increased her focus this season while guiding the Jaguars to the Class 6A semifinals.
Her numbers increased as a result.
The 86 RBIs are 26 more than last season when she was named to the All-City first team. She also scored 22 more runs this season, crossing the plate 70 times.
Her presence in the middle of the lineup was a big reason for Westmoore's success.
"You knew that you were going to get a runner on base pretty much no matter what," Schwarz said. "If we can get any of the front three on, usually she would hit them in.
"It was a huge advantage having a big stick like that. It always is; you just want two or three of those in a row."
Teams noticed her presence, as well, opting to essentially avoid pitching to her in the state tournament. She was intentionally walked multiple times in two games, a point of frustration for her.
But it was also helping her team, and that's all that Lookout hoped to do.
"I want to hit the ball," Lookout said. "I don't want to be walked. It seemed like in state that's all I did was walk. They didn't give me a chance to hit, but it gave my team baserunners. If that's what I can do, then that's awesome."

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Instant Impact Felt Eyeliner is a sponge tipped felt pen with deep colour for instant impact. Light up your eyes!
Thanks to its soft and supple sponge tipped pen, Superliner Instant Impact Felt gives a quick, easy and uniform application. Create a line as thick or as delicate as you wish. Hold the eyelid taut with your other hand to facilitate application.
Very pigmented, and stays on for most of the day. One of my eyelids are a bit oily so on that lid the eyeliner didn't last very well, but on the other eyelid it stays for the whole day. I recommend priming your lids if you have oily lids. Also, it has a fine tip allowing for precision. Overall, very pleased!

Our Faith Journey
At McEachern Memorial UMC we believe that no matter the style, language, or time that corporate worship is essential. Therefore, it is our goal to offer meaningful worship in a variety of styles so that many people can worship as one church. It is our goal to offer high quality worship services that will be meaningful and relevant to your life.
God calls us to go deeper and to work out our faith in group study. Small group study of God's Word allows more time to discuss topics and issues; also, it holds us accountable to the group so that we begin to apply what we are learning. McEachern Memorial UMC offers two ways to experience growth through small group study: Sunday school classes and Bible studies.
Our faith is not simply about agreeing to certain doctrines or attending worship services and Bible studies. God calls us into action as a way to express and bear witness to our faith, and to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to his world. McEachern Memorial is engaged in missional projects in our community, our nation, and our world. We want to provide every person an opportunity to put their faith into action through meaningful service.
We believe that when you are engaged in regular worship, dedicated small group study, and meaningful service that your life will begin to change and people will notice. So when they ask why you are different, how do you have peace in your home or your finances, or why you act in a new way we want you to be ready to point them to the One who made that difference: Jesus Christ!
Get Involved
If you are looking for ways to reach out to the local community or help those in need outside the U.S., visit our missions section. We have a food pantry, car care ministry, disaster relief, and mission trips.
