Charlene Emma "Charlie" Brooks (born 3 May 1981)[2] is a British actress, known for playing Janine Butcher in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.[3][4] Brooks portrayal of Janine has awarded Brooks with numerous awards, since her first appearance in 1999, with storylines involving cocaine addiction, prostitution and murder.[4][5] Brooks has appeared in British television shows; The Bill, Wired and Bleak House,the latter a role for which she received much critical acclaim.[4][6] Brooks released a highly popular and bestseller fitness DVD, "Before And After Workout",[7] before winning the 2011 version of the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special [8][9] and the twelfth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.[10]
Early life[edit]
Brooks was born in 1981, in Ware, Hertfordshire, England, but moved to Barmouth, Wales, when she was a child.[11] Christened as Charlene, Brooks moved to Barmouth with her mother, Rowena "Roe", brother Ben, and sister, Beth.[11][12][13] Brooks attended Tower House School, in Barmouth, and relocated to London to attend Ravenscourt Theatre School.[5][11] Ben, her brother, also got a place, and they lived with another family.[12] Brooks said, "It was difficult. We were little Welsh children and didn't know anything outside the mountains. I was homesick and the family we boarded with weren't very nice. They liked Ben, but not me. Soon after we arrived the woman said, `He'll work and she won't'. It was incredibly tough and made me grow up quickly".[12] Roe, a former restaurant manager, and Beth soon followed, relocating to London,[5][12] living in the flat below Brooks.[11] Due to Brooks' acting ambition, her father, Danny, an owner of a building company, stayed in Wales, consequently meaning her parents split.[5][12] Brooks said of this, "It was something they had to do because they weren't happy. They're still good friends and we all get on well together. Dad comes to stay with us. It's much better now and they're both happy".[12]
|I've loved drama since I was seven and appeared in lots of amateur plays. At 12 I wanted to go to drama school. My parents tried to put me off at first. It seemed such a precarious path to take. But when I was 13 I really hammered them. I was so determined I wrote a 16-page essay on why I wanted to do drama. They backed me 100 per cent after that.
|— Brooks speaking about starting her acting career.[5][12]
At the age of 16, Brooks attended Arts Educational to prepare for her A-levels, which she "loved".[5] Whilst studying, she got the role of Janine Butcher in EastEnders. She said of this in 2006, "I stupidly dropped my studies. I was a silly girl. I regret that so much I am going to work hard and sit them. I hope to do a degree in English".[5]
1999-2003: Eastenders[edit]
In television, Brooks has appeared in episodes of The Bill, London's Burning, Jonathan Creek and The Demon Headmaster.[11][14] Brooks' most prominent and famous role is playing the "Walford witch", "soap bitch", "evil", "malicious minx", "soap villain", Janine Butcher in the BBC soap opera EastEnders,[3][15][16][17] a character which has appeared in storylines involving cocaine addiction, prostitution and murder. When executive producer Matthew Robinson re-introduced Janine in 1999, after Alexia Demetriou left, Brooks secured the role.[4][18] On her getting the part Brooks said, "It's funny, but for as long as I can remember I knew I was going to make it, I never worried about my career or money, and when I left college I was headstrong and confident and felt very grown. Then I joined EastEnders and I felt like a lost little girl. I remember the casting director taking me to meet Patsy Palmer on my first day there and, because I'd been watching EastEnders since I was little, I actually felt sick.[12] Due to EastEnders, Brooks has won multiple awards, and has "proved her acting abilities with a variety of testing storylines", according to Hello![15][19] Brooks left EastEnders in 2004.[20][21] She reflected on her departure, "Leaving EastEnders was a massive decision but you can't always play safe. I was very lucky with Janine.[5][22] She carried on to say, "EastEnders was fabulous. I learned so much. That was my university and the best job in the world".[5] In 2006 she expressed her desire to return, "I'm busy being a full-time mum at the moment. But a return to EastEnders could be on the cards - because I'm unemployed and panicking!".[23]
2004-2007: Departure and other acting[edit]
After her departure from EastEnders in 2004, Brooks first role was in the BBC drama Bleak House as Jenny, which she received critical acclaim for.[7][dubious ] Brooks has done various commercials and voiceovers in the United Kingdom, Europe and the US.[4]
In 2006, Brooks played Beverley Allitt in a BBC1 docu-drama called Beverley Allitt: Angel of Death, alongside Ian Kelsey. Producer Cathy Elliot said, "It's a very sensitive issue and of course it's terrible for the parents to have the whole thing brought up. Each time it's brought up it's painful, but a lot of parents realise it's important it's kept in the public domain and that people are aware that things have happened and that not a lot has been done since".[24] Brooks described the role as "incredibly shocking" and "horrific", adding that she was unsure whether to take the role.[7] Brooks finished, "I'm an actress and I didn't want to pass up the opportunity of taking on a very serious role. It is very different to anything that I have done before. It was interesting to play someone real and a huge responsibility playing someone so notorious. The production team have made sure that it is done in a responsible manner and it was researched meticulously".[7]
She has guest starred in Robin Hood and Love Soup.[25][26] In theatre, Brooks, whilst on a break from EastEnders in 2003, appeared in the play Office Games alongside Adam Rickitt.[27] The play was Brooks' west end debut, and was described as "a witty and intelligent political commentary".[27] In 2007 she appeared in Our Country's Good at the Liverpool Playhouse.[28]
2008–14: Return to Eastenders[edit]
In 2008, Brooks returned to EastEnders for a guest stint.[17] She was later confirmed to be coming back as a regular character.[29] She said, "I had doubts to begin with, mainly because of Kiki, as I know how full-on EastEnders can be, and then there's that stigma about going back to a soap. But I'm so pleased I did, it was the right decision. Especially with what's going on at the moment, I feel really lucky to have a job and I need the security because of Kiki. I was just going to go back for a year, but I had a meeting with the boss last week and we're going to go for another year. So lots more time to get up to much mischief".[17][30] Executive producer Diederick Santer said, "I couldn't be more pleased that Charlie Brooks is re-joining EastEnders. With her appearances last month, she reminded us what a fine actress she is, and what an intriguing, watchable and engaging character she plays as Janine".[29] She temporarily departed in September 2012, and returned in April 2013 before departing again in March 2014.
Other ventures[edit]
Reality television[edit]
In 2008, Brooks jumped from the Contra Dam bungee in Switzerland, one of the highest free-fall bungee sites in the world; as a participant of Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie, broadcast on ITV2.[31] Brooks took part in the Christmas 2011 edition of Strictly Come Dancing, one of the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Specials and was partnered by Vincent Simone.[8] Dancing to Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, Brooks and Simone won the competition.[8] After her temporary departure from EastEnders in 2012, it was believed that Brooks would be taking part in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing.[32] Brooks had said whilst appearing on EastEnders, "It would be fantastic to do the whole show but EastEnders is a six-days-a-week job. I've seen how difficult it is to juggle both but it would be an amazing opportunity".[32] A insider from the BBC said, "It's more or less a done deal. Charlie would be a dream signing for Strictly. She's high-profile and popular and judging by the Christmas special, she has natural ability".[32] However this proved untrue, as Brooks signed up to appear in, and later won ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! twelfth series.[9] She was crowned the winner of the show, beating campmate Ashley Roberts.[10] Brooks was "visibly delighted" saying, "[It feels] silly. I never imagined this for a million years. Everyone's been amazing".[10] Brooks also narrates Botched Up Bodies on Channel 5.
Fitness DVD[edit]
In 2006, Brooks released a fitness DVD, entitled "Before And After Workout".[5] After having her daughter Kiki, she went on a "health kick".[7] Brooks, with the help of fitness coach Dee Thresher, exercised three time a week and changed her lifestyle.[7] The DVD became UK's best-selling fitness DVD release, and Brooks was transformed from "podgy Janine to a sexy new mum".[7][15] She said, "I weighed 11 stone at my heaviest and now weigh just over eight-and-a-half. Making the video was a job that forced me to exercise and did me the world of good. What could be better?".[5] She confirmed her "shock" for how successful the DVD was, but revealed she would not be releasing another.[7] She said, "They asked me to do it, and as I'd put on so much weight after my daughter was born I just thought: 'Why not?', because I really needed to lose weight. I was really surprised how well it sold. It went to No 1. I'm really glad I did the video because I enjoyed doing it and it worked and I feel so much better than I did. "I've had lots of good feedback from people I've bumped into who've come up to me and said: 'I've lost a stone' and even some of my friends have bought it - which I think is hilarious. But I don't really want to do another one because I'm not claiming to be a fitness expert. I was overweight and I had a trainer who put me through my paces and we put that on video, so unless I get really big again I think that's it. I'm not a fitness queen and I don't want to be the next Jane Fonda. Mind you, she does look fabulous".[7]
Personal life[edit]
At the age of 18 Brooks began a relationship with Grange Hill star Jon Newman and later they became engaged.[33] They bought a house together in north London, she said of him, "We're best friends and we're really happy. I don't think I could have done what I've done without him".[33] Brooks split with Newman in 2001, after a seven-year relationship.[12][34] She said that she did not want to get married, "Jon is my best friend and the split was very amicable. We were childhood sweethearts and we lived together for two years. But I realised I needed to be on my own a little bit to find myself".[12] Brooks met Tony Truman when she was 21, through her EastEnders co-star Dean Gaffney.[7][35] She got engaged to Truman, and the couple had a child named Kiki, in December 2004.[5][7] Brooks revealed that Kiki was unplanned, but her "by far proudest achievement".[7] Truman, an event organiser, took Brooks on a holiday to Dubai, when she started to feel ill.[7] Brooks found out she was pregnant, on the same day Truman planned to propose to her.[7] "I'd been feeling poorly and wondered if I was pregnant, so we got a pregnancy testing kit. We went out for dinner for my birthday, and, unbeknown to me, he was going to propose. He did propose and we found out I was expecting Kiki the same night. It was crazy". She finished, "I don't have a nanny. I've blagged it so far with family! My mum is my best friend and I hope I can be as good a mum to Kiki as she has been to me".[7] Brooks had to delay her marriage to Truman, due to the birth of Kiki.[7]
She split with Truman in December 2005, but in May 2006 the couple were still living together in Thames Ditton.[15][35] She said, "We knew our friendship would continue because that's how our relationship started. People ask if it's weird still living together, but we're just getting on with it for Kiki's sake".[35] Brooks also stated her desire to be single; "It's too soon, I'm just having a good time".[35] Truman left in 2007.[36] Brooks said that she became "disillusioned" with marriage, and after her split from Truman, she stated that "I don't think I'll ever want to get married".[37] In 2012, Brooks began dating architect Ben Hollington, of Bournemouth.[36] Brooks had kept his identity a secret from the media, but whilst appearing on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, she said, "I'm dating someone. I'm very happy".[36] Daily Mirror interviewed Hollington who said, "Yes, she's a really lovely girl. We've been together for a couple of months and it's good fun".[36]

Tummy Tuck Results?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. I would suggest that you start by reevaluating your "plastic surgeons" credentials. If you find that he is not board-certified by the American Board of plastic surgery you may want to seek in-person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons; direct examination will be critical in order to give you meaningful recommendations.
Best wishes.

Ugly Belly Button and Abdomen After TT, Can BB Be Fixed?
I'm sorry for your condition. Photographs (front and side) would have been very helpful.
Two points need to be made.
1. "BOARD CERTIFIED". - Board-certified by WHICH board? Unless your surgeon was trained in, passed the boardS of The American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, he MAY not be a Plastic surgeons. In is perfectly legal for ANY MD with an active medical license to PRACTICE any branch of Medicine. Would you feel comfortable having your back surgery or heart bypass done by a Family Practice or ER doctor? Why then would you let one of them or a Gynecologist, Dermatologist, General Surgeon or Ear Nose and Throat surgeon do your Tummy Tuck and Liposuction?
Moreover, there are a LOT of bogus, for profit boards which cloak such doctors with a "board certificate". Unless the board is a member of the American Boards of Medical Specialties (ABMSorg) you are dealing with a business which is there to sell "board certificates"
2. You may want to get your operative note (it must exist if the surgery was done in a free standing outpatient facility or hospital) and get a second opinion from one or more Plastic surgeons. Consult PlasticSurgeryorg for a list of surgeons closest to you.

Billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer is reportedly planning to clone a dinosaur and set it free to roam in a Jurassic Park-style arena at his new Palmer Resort at Coolum.
According to the Sunshine Coast Daily, Mr Palmer has been in "deep discussion" with the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep in the UK over 16 years ago.
While Mr Palmer's current "plans" are nothing more than a rumour at the moment, it has been reported the news "comes from a source close his inner circle".
Mr Palmer has scheduled a press conference for Friday when he is expected to address the issue, as well as his plans to run for LNP pre-selection.
He unveiled the concept designs for the resort redevelopment his last weekend.
The resort will feature a 20-storey sky needle and two 10-storey beachfront hotels with a casino.
Also being considered is a hovercraft link to Brisbane, a monorail, a giant wheel, aviary and aquarium.
In April, the former owner of the now defunct Gold Coast United A-League franchise announced he was building The Titanic II - a tribute to the original cruise ship that sank over a century ago.

Design concepts rule. They remind you of how derivative current phone designs are. Unofficially known as the bracelet phone, this one stays on your wrist and vibrates during an incoming call. To speak, you unclip it and hold it to your ear. It's got a few other perks as well, such as its ability to play MP3s. Of course, "got" is highly subjective since it's just a… Read More

False Alarm: Beatles Still Not on Online Music Stores
The Beatles will not appear on an online music store any time soon. Wippit, some small potatoes online store, just "announced" that they secured the rights to sell Beatles songs online.

Electronic USB Wind Instrument: Go Ahead, Pretend You're a Real Musician
The electronic wind instrument USB is a testament to the human inventive spirit. It looks to be a cross between a flute and a clarinet and plugs into your PC's USB port.

Apache OpenOffice is a full-featured office suite that comes as a more affordable alternative to the popular Microsoft Office. It brings alternative solutions for each major tool bundled into Microsoft's very own suite, which means that you can switch to this application even if you are a fan of MS Word, Excel, Power Point or Access.
Complex setup process and clear-cut GUI
Apache OpenOffice has them all, obviously under a different name, yet boasting almost the same powerful functions as Microsoft's software package. The installer allows you to set up only the components you need, by simply selecting them, yet this is a reason why it is important to check twice before making your choices.
Using this utility is quite easy after you get used to the menus and the places functions are located. Sure, it might be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, but it's only the way such a complex application may interact with its users.
Exploring all the multiple tools at your disposal
"Writer" is a part of the suite designed as a direct replacement for Microsoft Word. It comes with spell checking, it allows you to insert tables, pictures, files or graphs into new documents, change formatting, build macros, switch to another language or even install extensions from the same rich interface.
Apache OpenOffice "Calc" is Excel's equivalent and it has everything you need, be it spreadsheet functions, filters, forms, charts and drawings.

Rider shows age has not slowed him down
While many motorcycle racers hang up their boots and helmet when they reach their mid-40s, Tony Rees showed at Paeroa on Sunday he is not one of them.
Multi-time former national superbike champion Rees showed that, even at age 45, he was still a force to be reckoned with.
The Whakatane Honda star certainly demonstrated he still has plenty of lessons to teach.
Rees finished runner-up overall at the 22nd annual Battle of the Streets race meeting on the public streets of Paeroa, each time finishing close behind rising star Sloan Frost, of Wellington, but ahead of the rest of New Zealand's cream of the crop, Rees underlining his ability by setting the fastest lap time in each of his three outings.
"It was perhaps the most exciting time I've had racing on the streets of Paeroa, and I've been around here a few times over the years," Rees said.
"Every race I was the fastest rider out there. I just needed to get better starts.
"It was always a struggle to get past other riders. Sloan [Frost] and I had a nice dice for the lead, especially in that last race and I guess I was riding too nice. I could have shoved any of those other riders off the track if I wanted to ride dirty. I must be getting soft in my old age," he laughed.
He had not tried to prepare his bike for the street racing: "We just pulled it out of the van after my last ride and didn't even do anything with the suspension to change it for the tight street circuit. Plus I used the same set of tyres for the whole weekend. Perhaps I've still got some lessons to teach these young guys," he said.
Castrol Honda Team manager Peter Finlay, of Auckland, was impressed by Rees' performance.
"Tony [Rees] has not raced the recent South Island rounds of the superbike nationals and so it was tough for him today to come up against the riders who have been racing a lot lately.
"This is a fantastic day for him and he's looking forward to contesting the two North Island rounds of the superbike nationals."
The New Zealand Superbike Championships are to resume shortly with round four at Hampton Downs on March 17 and the fifth and final round set for Taupo on March 24.
Rees will take his Castrol Honda CBR1000RR into battle at both events and he'll be a definite threat to the championship leaders.

Malnets or malware delivering networks are responsible for two thirds of malware distribution and cyber-attacks worldwide, according to security company Blue Coat.
Cyber attackers targeting Iran's infrastructure and communications companies have disrupted internet access, according to media reports.

Moody's today maintained its stable outlook on India's rating saying credit challenges like weak fiscal performance and an uncertain investment policy environment -- have already incorporated into the current Baa3 rating.
These credit challenges have characterised Indian economy for decades, Moody's Investors Service said in a statement today.
However, the global and domestic factors, including potential shocks in agriculture, could keep India's growth below trend for the next few quarters, Moody's said.
Click here to read: Frequently Asked Questions about India's Sovereign Rating
Its ratings express a view on medium-term sovereign creditworthiness. They (ratings) do not generally change with fluctuations in growth related to the direction of the business cycle at a particular point, if Moody's believes growth will recover and sustain over time.
Furthermore, the impact of lower growth and still-high inflation will deteriorate credit metrics in the near term, but not to the extent that they will become incompatible with India's current rating, Moody's says.
Referring to impact of rupee depreciation on India's global obligation, Moody's said government's foreign currency debt comprises only 5.3 per cent of its total debt and is equivalent to 3.8 per cent of Gross Domestic Product. Hence, the rupee's decline does not raise the government's own debt service burden significantly.
This is more so, since most of its foreign currency debt is owed to multilateral and bilateral creditors with low annual repayment requirements.

Recipe: Caribbean Red Beans and Rice
Ellen Kanner is the author of Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith, and What to Eat for Dinner – A Satisfying Diet for Unsatisfying Times (New World Library 2013) and you may recognize her byline from the Huffington Post and Miami Herald. She has generously adapted her Caribbean Pigeon Peas and Rice for our luscious Domingo Rojo beans.
Ellen notes, "The recipe can be made entirely in advance and reheated when you're ready. Keeps covered and refrigerated for several days, and flavor improves over time."
Serves 4 to 6, doubles like a dream
- 2 cups cooked Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans
- 2-½ cups brown rice, cooked and cooled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 green or red pepper, chopped
- ¼ habañero (Scotch bonnet pepper) or 1 to 2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped, depending on how hot you like it*
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped (or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained)
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 small handful fresh thyme leaves, or ¼ teaspoon dried
- 1 small bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper, habañero, and celery, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tomato and season with the allspice and cumin.
- Add the cooked Domingo Rojo beans and rice, stirring until the mixture is well combined. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the moisture from the vegetables is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add the thyme, cilantro, sea salt, and pepper.
*(Wear gloves when handling fresh chiles, no matter how manly you are. – Ellen)

For western corn rootworm control in continuous corn, we have been recommending that growers either use a transgenic hybrid containing a Bt protein active against rootworm larvae, or make use of a granule or liquid soil insecticide and a hybrid not containing the protein.
In Ohio, we do not believe that it is necessary to combine both a Bt hybrid plus a soil insecticide to achieve economic control. Our rootworm populations are seldom severe enough to consider both tactics together, nor do we feel it is appropriate to use a soil insecticide in addition to the Bt protein to prevent resistance from occurring with the Bt tactic; rotation is a much better way to prevent resistance from occurring.
However, we do know that there will be some growers that will apply a soil insecticide to the Bt hybrid, which in addition to those using a soil insecticide as a standalone method of rootworm control, is a tactic that they probably have not used for many years. This article is a reminder, a strong reminder, that if growers use an organophosphate soil insecticide, that they need to pay attention to possible phytotoxic interactions between the soil insecticide and the various herbicides they might use.
Knowing that different combinations of soil insecticides and herbicides can negatively interact and cause phytotoxicity to corn plants was better known years ago prior to the use of Bt for rootworm control, when soil insecticides were the primary tactic that growers used. However, most growers have not used them in many years and perhaps need a reminder of the potential danger from applying certain herbicides with the numerous soil insecticides.
Grower are urged to look at Table 8 in the "2013 Weed Control Guide for Ohio and Indiana" Click here to see a list of herbicides that if used with certain organophosphate soil insecticides can potentially result in crop injury. Growers should read herbicide and insecticide labels closely to determine possible interactions, especially for some of the newer herbicides.

Central Arkansas Christian's Mustangs lost a pair of games last week to drop to 1-4 on the season, but first-year coach Matt Hall remains optimistic.
CAC fell to Little Rock Christian, 54-48, and then to Maumelle in the first round of the OrthoArkansas Classic, 80-60. The two other games in the classic, against Little Rock Catholic and Bryant, were cancelled because of the ice storm that came in Friday. Hall said they would not be made up.
The Mustangs were scheduled to travel to Harding Academy on Monday, but that, too, was cancelled because of the lingering ice. CAC was to play at Pulaski Academy on Tuesday and is then off until Dec. 20.
"We're doing a lot of good stuff," Hall said. "We have not shot the ball very well at all. I feel like it will come. We've outrebounded a bunch of people, and we're not turning the ball over terribly bad.
"We've done a lot of good stuff; we're just not putting the ball in the hole."
As an example, he pointed to the Mustangs' 16-of-32 performance from the foul line against LR Christian. They missed 20 free throws against Maumelle.
"If we make free throws alone, we win the Little Rock Christian game, and Maumelle is a lot closer," Hall said, adding that his team's deficit against the Hornets was considerably less than the final margin until late. "If we can find a way to put the ball in the hole, we'll be in a lot better shape.
"They're showing a lot of promise, playing extremely hard and doing whatever I ask. As long as they continue to do that, we'll be in good shape."
The Mustangs have had several players take the offensive reins during the young season. Junior forward Stephen Flanigan led them against Little Rock Christian with 15 points and nine rebounds. Junior guard Davis Allen added 11 points. Against Maumelle, senior guard Eric Bentley scored 21.
"Eric, Davis and Stephen have all shown the potential to have big games for us," Hall said. "Eric is our leading scorer for the year. He's been shooting the ball really well. I'm very happy for him."
The coach was looking forward to 10 days of practice following the PA game Tuesday. The Mustangs don't play again until opening 7-4A play against Arkansas Baptist on Friday, Dec. 20.
"We need that," Hall said. "We need a good 10 days we can practice and get some things addressed. I know the kids aren't looking forward to it, but I actually am. We've got a lot to work on."
Despite the bumpy start, record-wise, Hall remains optimistic about his first season on Mustang Mountain.
"As long as we can keep them playing hard and focused on the right things, we're going to be fine," he said.

New England's offense may be getting the bulk of the credit for the Patriots' win over the Saints on Sunday afternoon, but it was its defense that put them in that position to pull off the dramatic victory.
The Pats' defense shut down Drew Brees and Co., and — most impressively — they didn't allow Jimmy Graham to haul in a single catch in the game. For the first time in 46 games, the star tight end was held without a reception, and to add insult to injury, the Saints were also handed their first loss of the season.
Former Patriots Jermaine Wiggins and Matt Chatham joined NESN's Leah Hextall to explain how the Patriots were able to contain Graham. Check it out in the above video.

Graduation 2013
The Lipscomb Academy Graduation for the Class of 2013 was held in Lipscomb University's Allen Arena on Saturday, May 18.
Founded in 1891, Lipscomb Academy was renamed (formerly David Lipscomb Campus School) on June 1, 2012, making the Class of 2013 the first class to
graduate from Lipscomb Academy.
Ritchie Pickens, Middle School Assistant Principal, who served as Master of Ceremonies at the graduation, hailed the class of 131 students as "the most accomplished senior class in the history of the school." Among the members of the class are two National Merit Finalists, a student with a perfect SAT Score, a National Achievement Finalist, several athletic state champions and NCAA Division I athletic scholarship signees. Thanks to the leadership of 32 senior members, the Concert Chorus scored the highest grade in both the regional and state adjudication festivals. Most of those seniors were in the chorus all fours years of high school, and 12 were selected to All State or All Region choruses.
Dr. Jim Thomas, Executive Assistant to Lipscomb University President, Dr. L. Randolph Lowry, opened the graduation ceremony by congratulating the class and said "this is just the start, you are now prepared to move forward with confidence." He went on to quote Lee Ann Womack's song, "I Hope You Dance."
More than 40 students from the class were "Lipscomb Lifers," students that have attended the school together since the first grade. Jerry Cover, the graduation speaker, is the father of one of those "Lifers," Victoria Cover.
During his speech, Cover reminisced about the last twelve years watching the class grow and mature. He talked about having the opportunity to coach some of the graduates in basketball as middle school students, chaperoning class trips and taking a nature walk with some of the students at sunrise when they were in the sixth grade. "Quite honestly, we couldn't get enough of you; thank you for the memories," said Cover as he addressed the class.
Cover also spoke to the class about freedom. He explained to the class that he knew they had been thinking about the freedom ahead of them; freedom to make decisions to choose new friends, churches and career paths. He encouraged the students to "stay free in Christ" as they go out into the world. He told them not to get distracted by success, pride or guilt, but to simply stay free.
Cover then showed the students a video clip from the fall of 2012. The video was from the last home football game of the season. That game, which put the Mustangs in the playoffs, was also the last home football game for longtime Lipscomb Academy Head Football Coach, Glenn McCadams. "Coach Mac" was diagnosed and lost his battle with cancer in the spring of 2013. Cover reminded the students of the legacy Coach Mac left of living free in Christ. Referring back to the video, Cover told the students to "pursue your life with as much enthusiasm and joy" as they had that October night, as they rushed from the sidelines to celebrate with the team as the final seconds of the game ticked away.
After Cover addressed the class, the Lipscomb Academy Awards for Christian Character were announced. The three awards are named after Lipscomb Academy students from years past. This year the students honored were Lauren McCollum (JJ Share Award), Han Na Kim (Shannon Neely Award) and Cody Stubblefield and Clark Fraser (Jim McMeen Awards).
Before the awarding of diplomas, Sharon Tracey, 2013 Lipscomb Academy High School Teacher of the Year and soon to be retiree after 40 years of service, addressed the class. She urged the students to remember relationships as they build their lives. She told them to focus on family, church and God. She then read a poem by Will Allen Dromgoole, called The Bridge Builder.
The poem talks about an old man crossing a chasm, which he will never have to cross again. When he gets to the other side, he builds a bridge. A passerby asks the old man why he is building a bridge he will never use and the old man explains that he is building the bridge for those who come after him. Tracey encouraged the class to be bridge builders.
As the members of the class crossed the stage to receive their diplomas, fine arts faculty member, Elizabeth Harrell, read three character attributes provided by the academy faculty describing each graduate.
To end the ceremony, Dr. Michael Hammond, Lipscomb Academy Headmaster, charged the students with believing in their God-given talents and officially conferred the diplomas of the Lipscomb Academy graduates.

I could talk for hours about how cute kids are...but they're also a handful and have seemingly endless amounts of energy.
I could also ramble on and on about how great it is to adopt a pet.
But what happens when you combine the two things? Well, for one, the cuteness levels increase exponentially (kids + pets = adorable overload), but let's look at the other reasons you need to get a pet for your little one:
1. They see no size nor species -- just love.
2. A lap dog is a lap dog is a lap dog.
3. They can teach them that differences are beautiful -- and maybe not so different after all.
4. Dress up is always way cooler with a bud.
5. They're always keeping watch, even when it's a little unnecessary.
6. It doesn't take long -- like, less than 20 minutes -- to become besties.
7. They learn that sharing (chew toys) is caring.
8. They teach you to stop and smell the flowers.
9. They'll always let the little one win.
10. They're always there to lend a helping paw.
11. They're always good for a great belly laugh.
12. But they're also good for those deep, meaningful chats, too.
13. Nap time is WAY better with a friend.
14. So many cuddles.
15. I mean...seriously!
16. They'll always have a friend who's willing to binge Netflix.
17. With a furry friend, everyone can be a Disney princess or prince.
18. Above all, they've always got their kid's back when it comes to avoiding bedtime.
Cat tax : http://imgur.com/gallery/EIZtBl8
19. Discovering new things -- like snow or the mailman -- is always more exciting.
20. No matter how old they may grow, they're always up for an adventure.
21. Chores become playtime.
If you haven't left your house for the pet shelter already, I'm sure you're grabbing your coat right now. I know I am and I don't even have kids! These best friends are just too cute.

Palm Sunday in Italia is more about the olive branches than the palms, a strangely endearing enculturation of the liturgy that surprised me on our way to St. Peter's square in the form of gypsies (is that even PC to say? Is PC a thing in this country?) selling small bundles of them for 5 euro a PIECE on the surrounding streets. Um, what? Pay for my palms? (Or whatever those things are.)
I was mildly scandalized, until we arrived in the Square and sidled up behind the obelisk for a good view of Papa Francesco. At his signal, everyone in the square (maybe around 125,000 at that point in the liturgy) raised their branches in unison, and the piazza became a sea of waving, flittering olive leaves (and a few fancy palms). It was beautiful. And I had to explain to my 2 year old why Mommy was too cheap and indignant to shell out more than a Starbucks fancy drink for him to have his own set.
After Pope Francis blessed the branches, he proceeded up the main aisle (on foot, so crazy!) to the major alter in front of the basilica where he would say Mass. We actually exited the piazza at this point to head down the street to 'our parish,' Santo Spiritu in Sassia, where an English language Mass is celebrated every Sunday at 10 am during the Year of Faith. Papal events are great, but when you live here, you become a little less capable of standing for hours in the blazing! (and it's only March, calm down sweat glands) Roman sun with babies on your back. And besides that, Fr. Gino, our pastor from the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization via New Jersey, is a wonderful, wonderful homilist and a fantastically holy priest.
He always compliments the boys on their screaming commentary of his Masses, and makes a point to tell everyone that heaven sounds like babies screaming. So, I'm hoping he isn't endangering anyone's salvation with that little nugget.
Anyway, the blurry and less than full body pictures, without further ado:
|Get him off me.
|Our 'parish' is a Divine Mercy shrine run by the Sisters of Mercy, so every olive branch had a line from St. Faustina's diary tied to it. "Meditation on my Passion will help you rise above all things."

Mylenne Klass was seen arriving at Heathrow Airport in England on Saturday morning (January 29). The British TV presenter had just flown in from Amsterdam.
In a recent Tweet from her trip she posted a photo of her growing bump and wrote: "New piano trio. I know. I look knackered. Cold/Baby kicking combo. Up all night."
Klass is expecting a girl in March. The baby will be a second child for her and fiance Graham Quinn who already have a 3-year-old daughter named Ava.
After six years of being engaged, Klass recently told The Sun that they're ready to get married this year.

SHOCKING, what kids have for their dinner nowadays.
The buildings around One are almost exclusively takeaways and, at school chucking out time, they are full of ravenous, uniformed schoolchildren, gorging like pigs on over-processed carbohydrate and deep fried sinew, power-hosed and then reconstituted from soggy ribcages long after even the dogfood manufacturers have gobbled up their allotment.
It's a depressing reality.
As is One, a dreadful place to have a drink.
From outside, the venue makes a good impression, a grandiose three-storey building dwarfing the terrace on the end of which it sits, like a defiant middle finger raised to all the good pubs in the world.
It was busy for a Thursday afternoon and I fancied cider so I took my bottle of Bulmers Red to a table by the door and people-watched.
My attention was drawn to a trio of drinkers clustered around a table in the middle of the room who had clearly been there for some time.
Foul and extremely loud of mouth, they were properly arguing about something, literally bellowing into each other's alcohol-ravaged faces.
Flecked with spit and smelling vaguely of urine, they got louder and louder and threatened to spill over into violence until the trio instantly forgot their differences thanks to the quite unexpected arrival of two attention-seeking dogs.
Like only warmed-up drunks can, they foisted affection on the mutts and then wildly over-compensated with their friendliness when a woman tried to leave the pub by a locked exit.
From screaming expletives to cordially showing a lady the right door - to think, some people still doubt the mitigating effects of domestic pets on high blood pressure.
You can't blame a pub for the behaviour of its clientele and One does have some things going for it.
The barman, for example, was friendly and served me straight away. The choice of drinks is good – there's an understandable nod toward draught lager but there's a long list of exotic-sounding cocktails on a chalkboard behind the bar and a fridge full of different bottled beers and lagers. But the decor is stark and cold and is scruffy. The toilets were unpleasant.
Does it do food? Who cares? For one thing, I would not want to eat there and for another, there must be 25 kebab/burger places within 100 yards of One, plus other choices - I spotted a lovely looking cake shop just up the hill.
But One's real let-down is the atmosphere. I felt intimidated by the screaming row going on six feet away from me but no-one else in the pub seemed to care or even notice.
A sign on the back of the rancid toilets invites dissatisfied patrons to complain to management. I contemplated approaching the barman but feared we both would have died of old age before I got to the end of my list.
How One rates:
DECOR * (squalid, for the most part)
DRINK *** (decent enough selection)
PRICE *** (reasonable for this neck of the woods)
ATMOSPHERE * (intimidating)
STAFF *** (friendly)
Address: One, 1 Lee High Road, Lewisham, SE13 5LD

KAWASAKI – Defending J. League champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima retained their title as Yokohama F. Marinos suffered a final-day meltdown with a 1-0 loss to Kawasaki Frontale on Saturday.
Marinos, who began the day two points clear at the top of the table, needed a win to guarantee themselves a first championship since 2004, but a 54th-minute goal from Frontale forward Renato tore up the script at Todoroki Stadium.
Sanfrecce also needed to beat Kashima Antlers away from home to stand any chance of claiming the title, and goals either side of halftime from Naoki Ishihara kept up their end of the bargain with a 2-0 victory over a Kashima side that was reduced to 10 men when striker Yuya Osako was sent off on the stroke of halftime.
"I can't believe it," said Sanfrecce striker Hisato Sato. "I thought we had let the title slip through our fingers, but now it has come back to us. We've been fighting hard these last two games with only a small chance of winning the title.
"We just wanted to win today and make sure that we finished the season no lower than second. This is for the fans who came all the way to Kashima to support us."
Sanfrecce became the first team to successfully defend its J. League title since Kashima Antlers in 2009, while Marinos were left with nothing but regrets after squandering a four-point lead with two games left of the season, including a 2-0 defeat at home to Albirex Niigata last weekend.
"This is so disappointing," said Marinos manager Yasuhiro Higuchi. "We began the season aiming for the title and picked up points to get ourselves into a good position. It's very frustrating that it has escaped us.
"We still have the Emperor's Cup to play for and we have to start looking forward straight away, starting tomorrow. We have to put this pain to good use. We have to become stronger because of this experience."
Frontale booked themselves a spot in next season's Asian Champions League with the win, finishing the season in third place to join Sanfrecce, Marinos and the winner of the Jan. 1 Emperor's Cup final.
"Qualifying for the ACL was the big target for us," said Frontale manager Yahiro Kazama. "For a team that was at one point bottom of the table, the fact that we have got here is evidence of how much the players have improved."
Frontale striker Yoshito Okubo finished the season as top scorer with 26 goals, the highest number since Urawa's Washington and Gamba Osaka's Magno Alves reached the same number in 2006.
Renato twice went close to opening the scoring against Marinos, first hitting the angle of post and crossbar with a 20th-minute free kick before pulling a shot just wide moments later.
Kengo Nakamura also tried his luck as Frontale set up camp in the visitors' half, and with Ishihara giving Sanfrecce the lead against Antlers in the 35th minute, suddenly the pressure was all on Yokohama.
Marinos knew that one goal would be enough to put them back in the driving seat, however, and Manabu Saito narrowly failed to connect as a cross flashed past his head in the 38th minute.
But nine minutes into the second half, the unthinkable happened for Marinos. Okubo hit a wickedly swerving shot from outside the box that Yokohama goalkeeper Tetsuya Enomoto punched only as far as Ryota Oshima, who then turned the ball inside for Renato to crash home.
Shunsuke Nakamura tested Kawasaki goalkeeper Yohei Nishibe with a free kick from range as Marinos desperately tried to find a way back, before Marquinhos crashed a shot into the side netting with six minutes to go.
A terrible challenge on Kyohei Noborizato then earned Yokohama's Yuzo Kobayashi a booking as frustration began to boil over for the visitors, and injury-time heroics from Nishibe hurt Marinos further as Frontale saw out the win to spark Sanfrecce's celebrations in Kashima.
"We found out what the score was in the Frontale-Marinos game at halftime," said Sanfrecce manager Hajime Moriyasu. "At that point we were leading, but you have to think about your own game first.
"We never lost the feeling in our game, and the players kept running right until the end. I can't remember at what point after the game we were told that it had been confirmed we were champions."
In other notable games, Cerezo Osaka beat Urawa Reds 5-2 to finish in fourth place, knocking Reds down to sixth, one place behind Kashima, while Dragan Stojkovic's six-year reign as Nagoya Grampus ended with a 2-0 defeat to Albirex Niigata.

It's pretty safe to say that this upcoming draft is one of the most anticipated and hyped-up in recent memories. All NBA junkies are going crazy about the events that will transpire tonight, and honestly can you blame us?
Think about it there hasn't been this much talent, unpredictability, and trade rumors involved with a draft in a long period of time. Draft '"experts" are calling the 2014 draft one of the deepest ever. Teams are uncertain about where to draft players or recent injuries to guys and the effect that has on that player's stock. Finally, there's teams who are considering trading players and picks in order to one make cap space for free agents like Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, or to receive a guy like Kevin Love in return.
For a basketball fan this is as good as it gets as far as drafts go. So what will the Denver Nuggets do on this spectacular night?
Denver is sitting in a pretty good situation Thursday night. They have the #11 overall pick as well as the 41st and 56th picks. All eyes tend to be on that number 11 pick and what the Nuggets will do when there name appears and the clock starts ticking.
As I see it the Nuggets have three possible scenarios they could look more in-depth in depending on how the domino effect that is the draft goes. They could trade up in the draft, trade down in the draft, or draft a player at the number 11 pick. Let's take a look at how each scenario might play out:
1. If Joel Embiid or Julius Randle slide to the Kings at number 8, trade up!
If either of these two big men are available at number eight with the Sacramento Kings, the Nuggets should absolutely trade up, as the Kings have said they are willing to trade the 8th overall pick.
This is a perfect fit for both players no matter which one gets chosen. Both have drawn concern from some GM's and owners regarding their recent foot injuries. If drafted by the Nuggets, they can slowly ease either player into professional basketball, as well as have them learn from one of the great young talent developers in head coach Brian Shaw. Both players possess superstar potential upside, and could be the biggest steals in the draft if a team can get ahold of them that late in the first round.
2. If a team proposes a good deal, then trade down
This is such a deep draft, so I'm not sure why teams would want the number 11 pick. Unless they really like a certain player, I see plenty of teams having options if guys are dropping off their board. That's why the Nuggets should trade the pick if they hear a deal they think would be more beneficial than drafting in the number 11 spot.
Maybe a team like the Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, or Chicago Bulls would be interested in swapping positions. If the Nuggets were to draft later in the teens I expect them to draft one of the following players: Zach LaVine (6-6 point guard, UCLA) Gary Harris (6-5 shooting guard, Michigan State), Jusuf Nurkic (6-11 center, Bosnia), or James Young (6-8 small forward, Kentucky).
3. With the 11th pick in the 2014 draft, the Denver Nuggets select….
Nik Stauskas, 6-7 shooting guard, Michigan. If the Nuggets decide to stay at the number 11 spot and Stauskas is available I think the Nuggets would find it hard to pass on him.
Stauskas is a phenomenal shooter and one thing he can contribute right away is his shooting ability. If he has an open three he will certainly knock it down, and that's something the Nuggets struggle to consistently do. He's a decent athlete, but will need a good amount of work if he plans on guarding anybody in the NBA. He's a good prospect and someone who can come in and contribute day one. He might be the safest guy the Nuggets have on their draft board.
Second Round selections:
41 pick: Thanasis Anteokounmpo (6-6 small forward, Greece)
Anteokounmpo will be a very challenging name for commentators to try and pronounce. He's your typical international player: athletic and lengthy but needs work on his offensive game (and a lot of it honestly). However, Anteokounmpo is a great defender who has a 7-foot wingspan which allows him to cover a lot of ground especially against perimeter guys.
56 Pick: Khem Birch (6-9 power forward, UNLV)
Birch is another guy who is athletic and very good on the defensive end. Even though he's only 6-9, he has a 7-foot wingspan which allows him to block shots and grab rebounds. He is just as skilled as a high schooler on the offensive end really only scoring when he has put backs or open layups off of penetration by somebody else.

"Cosmic artist" Jack Armstrong was arrested in Eagle Rock last week on a warrant in connection with an alleged rape in Beverly Hills in 2010, authorities said.
Armstrong, 56, was taken into custody Friday on a warrant issued by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. He was released after posting bond.
"The arrest was the result of a lengthy, in-depth and multi-county investigation," the police department said.
The Southern California artist got his nickname after christening his bright, multicolored paintings as "cosmic extensionalism." His paintings fetch six figures and he raised eyebrows last year by unveiling a painted Harley-Davidson motorcycle valued at $1.1 million.
Detectives working the case also hope any other alleged victims will come forward.
Authorities are seeking the public's assistance "out of concern that Armstrong may have victimized other women using his so-called celebrity status," police said.
Anyone with information is urged to call (310) 285-2159.
Armstrong is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 20.
