John Clark, Jr.

John Clark, Jr. was a fictional character in the television series NYPD Blue. He was played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar from season 9 until the end of the series.

Clark Jr. was partnered with the rough but friendly detective Andy Sipowicz after Sipowicz's previous partner, Danny Sorenson, was murdered in an undercover sting gone bad. Clark earned his detective badge after courageous action in an undercover operation.

Sipowicz became a kind of mentor for the young detective, and much of the veteran detective's skill rubbed off on Clark.

His father, Clark Sr., was a rule-abiding detective who disapproved of his son's choice of precinct. He referred to the 15th Precinct as a "hellhole" and held a strong dislike for Sipowicz, whom he knew from previous experiences. The conflict between father and son came to a pinnacle when Clark Sr. threw John out of the house due to his decision to work at the 15th, rather than choosing his father's precinct. Clark Sr. further disrupted his son's career when he showed up drunk at the 15th Precinct, demonstrating his alcoholism for all of the squad to see. Later, he nearly let his son's career be ruined over his own behavior, before Sipowicz pressed him to clear John Jr.'s name.

John Clark (chaplain)

John Flavel Clark (December 10, 1784 – October 7, 1853) was a Presbyterian clergyman who served as Chaplain of the Senate.

Early years

John Flavel Clark was born on December 10, 1784, in Allentown, New Jersey, the oldest of three sons of Margaret Imlay Clark and Dr. Joseph Clark who was pastor of First Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick, New Jersey (1796–1813). Joseph Clark also served on George Washington's general staff during the Revolutionary War. John F. Clark graduated valedictorian from Princeton University in 1807. After graduation he was engaged in teaching in Georgia. He began studying for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary in 1810. There he became acquainted with Adoniram Judson, Samuel Newell and Samuel John Mills, thus beginning a lifelong commitment to the cause of foreign missions. He was one of the founders of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

He was chosen to be a tutor at Princeton, where he continued his divinity studies under its president Ashbel Green. He was called to be stated supply at First Presbyterian Church Flemington, New Jersey, and then to be its pastor, resulting in his ordination in June 1815.

John Clark (footballer, born 1941)

John Clark (born 13 March 1941) is a former Scottish international footballer and member of the Celtic team nicknamed the Lisbon Lions.

Playing career

Born in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, he was part of the Celtic team that won the European Cup in 1967. Clark is perhaps the most unheralded player among the Lisbon Lions team. His undramatic style of team play in sweeping up beside fellow centre back, Billy McNeil, was integral to the success of the team. His role as Celtic's sweeper earned him the nickname "The Brush."

Clark earned four caps for Scotland all in his time with Celtic.

He left Celtic for Morton in 1971, where he retired two years later from playing.

After playing

Clark enjoyed a managerial career with Cowdenbeath, Stranraer and Clyde in the 1980s and early 90s.

His son Martin also became a professional footballer, with Clyde, Nottingham Forest and Partick Thistle in the 1990s.

John Clark is currently employed by Celtic as their kit man, a position he has held for two decades - making him the second-longest ever serving Celt, after Willie Maley.

Clark (Martian crater)

Clark Crater is a crater in the Phaethontis quadrangle of Mars, located at 55.6°S latitude and 133.4°W longitude. It is 98.0 km in diameter and was named after Alvan Clark, and the name was approved in 1973. Dunes are visible on the floor of the crater, and dust devil tracks are in the area. Both of these features can be seen in the pictures below. The thin, dark streaks are dust devil tracks.

CLARK the band

CLARK the band was an indie rock band operating out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The band was formed in Ottawa in 1999 by John Tielli who sang, played guitar and composed.

Initially named simply "Clark", the group found this problematic due to other groups being identically or similarly named. It was decided that using the name "CLARK the band" would help to alleviate the issue.

The group's roster changed throughout its existence with Tielli being the only consistent member. Primary members also included Matt Gagnon on bass and vocals, Mike Dubue on keyboards and vocals, Philip Shaw Bova on drums, Andrew McCormack on drums, Jeremy Gara on drums, Tim Kingsbury on bass and vocals, Vish Khanna on drums, Robin Buckley on drums, Dan Neill on drums, vocals and keyboards, Ryan Myshrall on bass, Jordy Walker on drums and Corwin Fox on bass and vocals.

The group disbanded in 2007. Tielli has since moved to Toronto and formed the group Metal Kites.
