William Bird of Newnham (about 1757 - 1833)
William BIRD of Newnham married Sarah ELLIOTT, had 10 children and had time to build half the properties in Lambeth (slight exaggeration) ! This is his story.
As explained elsewhere, it was my father's brother, Tony BIRD, who wrote a semi auto-biography which has never been published called "A load of codswallop". In it he included the phrase 'William BIRD of Newnham' which had always been taken as gospel by the family. I therefore had a good starting point for researching him and his ancestors.
There is an IGI entry, without source information, of a "Wm BIRD born about 1773 Newnham" but I was unable to confirm this at the Northamptonshire Record Office where we went to see the Parish records. Indeed, I made a rash assumption which lead down the wrong garden path for too long.
In the semi auto-biography. Tony wrote rather derogatorily about "William BIRD of Newnham who lagged rather behind in the landed gentry stakes." Was this true or just tittle tattle passed down through the generations ?
I ascertained that although he may not have been born rich or the owner of property, before he died he had a veritable estate of long leasehold properties on which he and his heirs were entitled to live off the rent from the tenants for nearly 80 years.
William BIRD was born about 1757 and married his wife Sarah Elizabeth ELLIOTT in 1799 at St Dunstons & All Saints in Stepney. Sarah was born in Newnham, Kent NOT in Northamptonshire.
One of them must have either come from a wealthy family or he had previously been a very successful builder as he purchased the right to build a number of properties in Lambeth between 1820 – 1824 (£1,000 was to be spent on building costs in the first five years and another £1,000 by the end of the following fifteen years) and he was then granted 80 year leases which allowed him and his descendents to recoup rents received from the tenants of the properties. One of the properties he built is in the photo above. We don't yet know where he got the capital from and I will need to research more about his birth and where he was born.
William and Sarah lived in one of the Lambeth properties he had built - 8 Clapham Road (she continued to live there after his death on both the 1851 and 1861 census).
They had ten children over a 21 year period :
WILLIAM HENRY ELLIOTT BIRD was born on 26th June 1798 in St Georges, Queens Square, Bloomsbury. He died, aged 72, on 19th January 1870 at 8 Elizabeth Place, Brixton Road, Lambeth (another of the Lambeth properties his father had built) of bronchitis. No other information is yet known about him.
MARY ANN BIRD was born on 31st December 1799 but died while still a baby on 19th August 1800 in St Mary, Newington.
Named after his wife, SARAH ELIZABETH BIRD was born less than a year after Mary Ann BIRD's death on 20th July 1801 but sadly she died before her third birthday on 5th December 1803 in St Mary, Newington.
ANN BIRD was born on 22nd November 1803 in St Mary, Newington. She went on to marry Francis ROSS who died in 1838 just before the birth of their son Henry ROSS. She probably died after 1841 at which time her son, Henry ROSS, became involved in The Ross Bird Mystery.
GEORGE BIRD was born on 14th June 1806 in Lambeth, Kennington, Surrey and he became known as George BIRD of Chessington Court Farm.
CHARLES BIRD was born on 14th December 1808 in St Mary, Newington. On the 1861 census (52 years old), he is shown as married (who to ?) and living with his aged mother Sarah Elizabeth BIRD (85) at 8 Clapham Road, Lambeth. No other information is yet known about him.
HENRY BIRD was born on 3rd September 1811 in St Mary, Newington. No other information is yet known. Did he marry Caroline BIRD (nee BIRD) as I have a possible birth certificate in 1845 for a little girl – says her father is a builder which might fit ? However this seems unlikely as the marriage was in Whitechapel (1838).
HARRIOT BIRD was born on 22nd January 1814 in St Mary, Newington. She married John COVENEY of Swanscombe and they effectively adopted (not legally) Henry ROSS (son of Ann BIRD above).
ELIZABETH BIRD was born on 23rd August 1816 in St Mary, Newington. She married a Thomas ROSS in 1843 but I have, so far, failed to find a connection between him and the Francis Ross who her sister, Ann, married.
SUSANNAH SOPHIA BIRD was born on 23rd December 1819 in St Mary, Newington. She died 1n 1839 at Clapham Road Place.
Details of all the above births including the time of each birth was transcribed by Henry ROSS from a family Bible on 16th November 1874. The last entry was in the writing of Henry ROSS's father.
Intriguingly there is a family teapot with the following inscription (and spellings) :
Presented to William Bird Esqr.
As a token of Gratitude
for the great favors conferred
when prejudices where much against
THE DONOR
What is that all about ?
(£1,000 in 1830 is now equivalent to more than £70,000 using the retail price index as a basis for inflation)
William BIRD died in October 1833, aged 60. I have a copy of his Will which runs to 8 pages setting up trusts for his children and their children to benefit from this income. His wife, Sarah Elizabeth BIRD, who had been born in 1778, died of "old age" in 1866, aged 88.

The following was found with a pic of the painting on the Ben Uri website. I think that the exhibit has ended, the text does not come up anymore. It's preserved here though. I think it would make a swell movie.
"Lily Delissa Joseph (1863 - 1940) was born into a wealthy and respected Jewish family with strong ties to the art establishment, as her brother, the painter Solomon J. Solomon, was an elected Royal Academician and only the second Jew to gain this honour. Although she was taken seriously as an artist by the art establishment and exhibited regularly throughout her career, Lily Delissa Joseph lived a rather unconventional life for a woman of her class and standing. Her privileged background also gave her the freedom to pursue political and religious activism and she became a vocal champion of women's rights. She was so dedicated to her cause that in 1912 she was unable to attend the private view of her own exhibition because she had been arrested 'in connection with the Women's Suffrage Movement', the Jewish Chronicle announced, and was in Holloway jail. Not content with her rare status as both a female Royal Academician and suffragette, Delissa Joseph was also one of the first women to own and drive a car, and even learnt how to pilot a plane in the 1920s.
Delissa Joseph's work 'Self Portrait with Candles' (1910) was acquired by the Ben Uri Collection in 1946 (the painting can be seen here:http://ow.ly/tlmlE). In that same year the Ben Uri Gallery held an exhibition of her work alongside that of her siblings, Solomon J. Solomon and Rebecca Solomon, both respected artists. 'Self-portrait with candles' is a striking painting which depicts Delissa Joseph with her head covered observing the Jewish Sabbath, her confident and uncompromising nature exemplified in her direct eye contact with the viewer. Delissa Joseph was perhaps best known her for interiors and this self-portrait is a departure from her normal subject, although she has retained her characteristic limited palette and use of light and shadow for dramatic effect.

Ray Donovanexecutive producerBryan Zuriffhasplead guilty to running an illegal gambling ring,The Hollywood Reporterreports.
Ray Donovan executive producer Bryan Zuriff has plead guilty to running an illegal gambling ring, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Zuriff submitted the plea in federal court Thursday in New York. "Bryan Zuriff spanned the coasts with his crimes, by operating his own illegal gambling enterprise in Los Angeles, and helping to operate a vast illegal gambling enterprise in New York," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. "With his plea, he becomes the first defendant, but not the last, to be convicted in this sprawling script of criminal conduct."
Zuriff faces up to five years in prison when sentenced in November and will forfeit $500,000.
In April, 34 people were indicted for their role in two Russian-American crime enterprises. Combined, the organizations laundered $100 million from illegal gambling, which included celebrity poker games.
Ray Donovan debuted June 30 with the biggest original series launch in Showtime history. It was renewed for a second season on July 16.


Get ready for B-52s on the beach — not as an airshow event but part of a brand new music festival coming in December.
The 1980s new wave band is one the acts being considered for the first Riptide Music & Food Festival planned for Dec. 3 and 4 on the same beach spot where the Tortuga Festival has become a smash in recent years.
Organizers said the first-day acts could feature groups such as Green Day, Imagine Dragons, George Ezra and The Struts. Second-day acts being looked at include the B-52s, A Flock of Seagulls and The Mix, with contract offers out to Phil Collins and Lionel Richie.
Promoters assured city commissioners they were not looking to create a "raucous" event but one more suited to the city's family-friendly image. Ticket pricing isn't available yet.
Freeman described the first day as featuring alternative pop bands and the second having bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The stage will be set up in the Fort Lauderdale Beach Park parking lot south of Las Olas Boulevard with crowds spilling onto the beach.
Promoters are hoping to attract 10,000 to 15,000 people for each day of the concert, saying they want to keep the initial festival small in scale. The Tortuga Festival this year attracted around 90,000 over its three-day run in April.
Entercom owns and operates 127 radio stations in 27 national markets, including 101.5 FM, 102.7 FM, 790 AM and 104.3 FM in South Florida. The festival is targeting its 25-to-54-year-old demographic.
Commissioners say they support more activity on the beach, but they have been leery of transforming it into another South Beach. They're looking for a proper balance of tourist-oriented events so that local residents can enjoy the beach, too.
Area hotel and business owners said there's usually a lull after Thanksgiving before the season gets underway full force in mid-December.


Not only helpless, but nigh on to hopeless!
The evocative word beyond simple description is ξηραίνω (xērainō, dry up, wither, grow rigid). This is the same word used back in 3:1 about a man with a withered hand.
In Mark repetition bears attending to. Since it is written to his readers there is opportunity here to reflect on what has dried up, withered, stiffened in our life. We may even be able to get back to the description of people who have relied on external power and developed a "stiff neck" or "hardened heart".
Though not described in this detail, we may also remember Jairus' daughter and the sense of helplessness that comes through that story. Or, some of the details may remind us of the Gerasene being full of power but unable to control it.
Of significance, LaVerdiere-249 recalls, "Jesus had sent the Twelve on mission with authority over unclean spirits (6:7). Summarizing their mission, the Gospel said that the Twelve drove out many demons (6:13)." So what has gone on here that their practice hasn't borne fruit in this instance? This question is good ground for the breaking out of an argument. It doesn't need the fleeting mention of the Scribes. It can be expected simply on the basis of different understandings among the 9 disciples left behind. A question still facing the church—What is our excuse that justifies our failure?

Last Bell (Epub)
A last bell is sounding for public education in America. It's time to take a free market approach.
Last Bell (Epub) quantity
In the mid-nineties, the Alfred Glickman School was just another failing school in one of America's most violent cities. Then SABIS®, a private, for-profit education provider, took over. Twenty years later, the school is a six-time silver medalist in U.S. News & World Report's annual "America's Best High Schools" listing, and every single graduate of the school has been offered a college place.
With success of this magnitude, you would think that for-profit managed charter schools like SABIS would be in high demand. On the contrary, they are fought at every turn. Why is the idea of employing for-profit companies to help rescue failing public schools treated with fear and hostility? Stranger still, why does a nation built on free enterprise refuse to embrace a free market strategy when so many students and schools would clearly benefit and with so much at stake?
Last Bell is a book about politics, money and power. It examines the charge that for-profits running charter schools are in it for the money, not the kids, and reveals the real motives of those spreading these ideas and why they fight private sector involvement in public schools. Last Bell is a reasonable voice in a polarized debate. It does not call for an end to public schools but rather imagines a future in which private companies help create a competitive market for public education to boost performance, turn derelict schools into centers of excellence and give parents even in the worst neighborhoods real choice and their children a future.

Cassie Nightingale has conjured herself another season.
Hallmark announced on Thursday night at its Television Critics Association summer press tour soiree that Good Witch has been renewed for Season 5.
It was also revealed that the cabler's When Calls the Heart is getting a spinoff called When Hope Calls, to launch in 2019 on the Hallmark Movies Now streaming service. No details were immediately available.
Good Witch, in which JAG alum Catherine Bell plays the titular spellcaster, closed Season 4 on July 1, after which Hallmark aired a teaser for a two-hour Halloween special (to air in October).
Good Witch's most recent run averaged 2.1 million total viewers and just over a 0.2 demo rating (in Live+Same Day numbers). That was right on par with its previous two seasons (which were both up a tick from Season 1).
The TV series, which premiered in February 2015, was of course born of a TV-movie franchise which spanned seven installments from 2008 to 2014.


Earth is a planet covered in water. Yet amazingly, less than three percent of that water is drinkable freshwater. Of that three percent, around 68 percent of our freshwater is completely inaccessible to humans, locked within icecaps and glaciers. As the climate continues to change and droughts become more common, scientists are seeking ways to access more water from oceans, where 97 percent of our planet's water resides.
It has been possible, for some time, to extract drinkable water from seawater. But the only two processes for doing so were sorely inefficient, using far too much energy. But now, thanks to a breakthrough in the process known as distillation, scientists are able to collect drinkable water from the ocean via solar power. This breakthrough couldn't have come at a better time, considering that climate change has caused droughts to become more common in recent years.
Prior to recent findings, seawater could only be "made into" fresh water via distillation or membrane distillation. Regular distillation involved boiling salt water and collecting the steam, then processing that steam through a condensing coil. The heat needed to boil the water consumed a large amount of energy, making the process inefficient.
In membrane distillation, hot and cold ocean water was pushed through a porous membrane, and the vapor from the process was collected. This used only slightly less electrical energy than regular distillation. The inefficiency of these processes meant that their usefulness was limited. Freshwater could not be extracted on a large enough scale to meet the demands of an increasingly water-starved population.
But now, according to the findings of a federally-funded study at Rice University, it is possible to extract freshwater from seawater using a process called "nanophotonics-enabled solar membrane distillation" technology, or NESMD. As its name suggests, this process is powered entirely by solar energy. Using nanotechnology, NESMD converts sunlight into the heat needed to produce water vapor via membrane distillation. This seemingly small change could have a huge impact on the widespread use of distillation, and make a significant global impact, according to Rice University researcher and water treatment expert, Qilin Li.
As Li explains in a statement on their research, "Direct solar desalination could be a game changer for some of the estimated 1 billion people who lack access to clean drinking water. This off-grid technology is capable of providing sufficient clean water for family use in a compact footprint, and it can be scaled up to provide water for larger communities."
As Li points out, one important aspect of this new technology is how easy it is to reproduce. Because it utilizes the same type of membranes already used in membrane distillation, NESMD could be easily integrated into at least a few of the more than 18,000 water desalination plants currently operating around the world. Her research team has already developed a system which utilizes a small membrane panel in the distillation process, that could be replicated for use anywhere.
It seems likely that, if such technology were to become widely available, water desalination plants would jump at the chance to install it, considering that energy costs account for half of the total expense of their operation.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Episode 33: The Yolk's on You!
The Rangers fight a monster that just wants to eat a couple eggs for lunch.
At the Youth Center, everyone gets ready for a talent show of sorts. Principal Caplan's here, so it must be a school sanctioned event; much like Bulk and Skull food gags, the show never misses a chance for Caplan to lose his toupée.
Finster unleashes a new monster for Rita's birthday named Fang, who gets pissed when Squatt and Baboo eat his Gooney bird eggs: "You know how hard it is to find these? You can't just walk into a store and buy these, you know!"
The Rangers learn about Fang
Tommy runs off to get his black belt for the talent show, but gets captured by Putties…for about five seconds, then rejoins the other Rangers as they fight Fang.
Tommy is the Putties' prisoner (but not for long)
I kinda tune out around here during the Megazord fight, but it's safe to say the Rangers win and Fang is killed.
Skull and Bulk play a lovely song
Back to the talent show, Jason and Tommy do a martial arts routine, then Bulk and Skull give a music performance. They're actually pretty good, so why's everyone making fun of them? At least Kimberly gives them a slow clap at the end.
As always, Bulk and Skull – especially Skull – kill it with their awesome fashion, and I'm not even joking. I especially love Skull's guitar strap made out of crime scene tape. Fang sounds like Peter Lorre for some reason, but gets very annoying because 80% of what he says is "Gooney bird eggs." I felt sorry for him, though, because he was an innocent victim. All he wanted was to eat his eggs and the Rangers killed him in cold blood.

The $1.8 billion project would convert natural gas into methanol, and would be shipped overseas and made into plastic. If built, the plant would be the largest methanol refinery in the world.
In January, Cowlitz County held a three-day hearing which resulted in an approval of the shoreline permit. The permit was then sent to the Washington Department of Ecology for review.
The state of Washington is giving the Port of Kalama and NW Innovation Works until May 19 to submit the requested information.

Earlier this week on Fox News, Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council and commissioner with the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), made several anti-gay statements as he attacked presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who is Christian and gay.
HAF representatives stated that they would officially be calling for Perkin's resignation from USCIRF.
"If Perkins cannot accept religious ideas different from his own within the United States, how can he be at all expected to uphold religious freedom abroad?" Shukla concluded.

Sunrise brief: Push to electrify New York's buses gains as NYPA commits millions for infrastructure
Also on the rise: SEIA adds an energy storage advocacy branch, and NERC's annual summer assessment warns of possible energy shortfalls.

A Duke Ellington lyric once told New Yorkers to "take the 'A' train." That advice now might be to "take the 'E' bus" after the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) finalized a $39 million deal to install more than 50 overhead chargers to power new electric buses headed to New York City in 2022.
The new infrastructure is part of MTA's plan to upgrade facilities to support its plan to buy only electric buses starting in 2028 and to have an all-electric 5,800-bus fleet by 2040. MTA officials said they plan to boost their electric bus buy this year from 45 to 60 vehicles.
Under the financing agreement, NYPA will provide and install overhead electric bus charging infrastructure for 45 buses at four locations in the boroughs of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and, Manhattan. An on-street pantograph (a device mounted on an overhead structure that mates with electrical contacts on the bus's roof to deliver power) at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza in Brooklyn will be replaced. On-street pantographs provide enough charge during the drivers' rest periods to keep the bus operating for two full shifts per day.
The scope of work includes design, permitting, and providing and installing 53 overhead direct current fast chargers and related pantographs and gantry support systems. The overhead chargers will allow interoperability between buses from different manufacturers.
Two different vendors have been contracted to help complete the project: ABM and Verdek. Charging hardware will be supplied by ABB and Siemens. The project is expected to be completed within a year. The overhead chargers will have power levels ranging from 150 kW – 300 kW and the on-street charger will be 500 kW.
SEIA adds energy storage advocacy
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) launched the Storage Advocacy Network, a branch of the industry trade group to serve as a national and state advocacy voice for energy storage.
SEIA said it plans to offer one board of directors' seat to the chair of its Storage Division and 10 free memberships to companies focused on energy storage. Through collaboration with various SEIA committees, the Storage Advocacy Network is expected to shape the organization's lobbying and public affairs advocacy on energy storage.
SEIA said it will put its full weight behind state and federal policies that scale competitive energy storage deployment, increase private sector investment in storage, and create well-paying jobs across the entire storage value chain.
NERC warns of energy shortfall risks
A 2021 reliability assessment from the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) warns that parts of North America are at elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls this summer during above-normal high temperatures. (Read the report here.)
More than 3 GW of additional resources are expected in California this summer compared to 2020.

It said that Texas, New England, MISO, and parts of the West are at an "elevated risk" of energy emergencies. In the "high risk" category is California, which relies on large energy imports during peak demand scenarios and when solar resource output declines in the evening hours.
The assessment said that although more than 3 GW of additional resources are expected in California this summer compared to 2020, most will be solar photovoltaic (PV) generation. It said that these plants can provide energy to support peak demand, but output falls off in late afternoon while high demand often remains. NERC said that reliance on imports during these periods is an "increasing reliability risk."
(Read "Agencies release final report into California's heat-related blackouts.")
It said that while actions taken by the California Public Utilities Commission, CAISO and utilities to procure additional resources will help, the Western Interconnection's increase in demand and decline in resources may reduce the amount of surplus capacity available when California is in shortfall.

The assessment also said that wildfire season in the western United States and Canada poses risk to bulk power system reliability. It said that government agencies are warning of the potential for above-normal wildfire risk beginning in July in parts of the western United States as well as central and western Canada.
The summer assessment said that in Texas, on-peak planning reserve margins have increased to 15.3% from 12.9% last summer with the addition of 7,858 MW wind, solar, and battery resources. It said, however, that extreme weather can affect both generation and demand and cause energy shortages that lead to energy emergencies in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). It added that with a "significant portion" of electricity supply coming from wind generation, operators must have sufficient flexible resources to cover periods of low-wind output.
The assessment said that MISO and NPCC-New England have sufficient resources for periods of peak demand. However, above-normal levels of demand are likely to exceed capacity resources and require additional non-firm transfers from surrounding areas.
The annual assessment said that all other areas have sufficient resources to manage normal summer peak demand and are at low risk of energy shortfalls from more extreme demand or generation outage conditions.

Constant prayer. The word means to be eager or act in earnest. It is prayer that is so intense that it will not be stopped until the answer is received.
Are we storming the gates of heaven with our prayers? Statistics say that the least attended service is the prayer meeting. The least activity that the Christian is involved in is prayer. A church that lacks prayers lacks power and is anemic.
A group of pastors from the United States visited London in hopes to see the Metropolitan Tabernacle and the Prince of Preachers himself, Charles H. Spurgeon. They were met by a portly man in overalls whom they assumed was the janitor. He asked if they wanted to see the church's power plant. Intrigued, they said they would and were led to the basement, expecting to see the boiler room. There they found hundreds men on their faces praying. "This, gentlemen, is the power of the church." The next day, during service, they saw the man whom they met the previous day, but now, he was in a suit and stepped behind the pulpit. It was Spurgeon himself. A church is only as good as those who are willing to pray for it. A good pastor can make a good congregation, but a praying congregation can make a great pastor. Pray, pray, pray! It is how anything gets done.

Nicotine products pose a serious health risk for youth.
The use of e-cigarettes and other e-cigarette or vaping products (such as vape pens, hookah pens, e-cigars and e-pipes) recently surpassed the use of conventional cigarettes to become the most commonly used tobacco product among U.S. youth.  Given the use of e-cigarettes among teens increased dramatically during 2011-2015,  it is critical that public health officials and citizens understand the potential risks of using nicotine products for young people.
Human clinical studies report similar findings — adolescent nicotine exposure leads to higher rates of smoking behavior in adulthood. [8-13] Accordingly, young people should avoid use of all nicotine-containing products, including e-cigarettes.
Adolescence — the transitional period between childhood and adulthood, typically ranging from ages 12 to 18 — is a critical window for brain growth and development, when it is still "under construction." [14, 15] However, the brain continues to undergo structural and functional development into young adulthood, to age 25. [1, 78, 79] Consequently, young people are especially at risk of harm caused by nicotine exposure.

Eagles offensive tackle Jason Peters (71) watching Washington linebacker Preston Smith on Sunday.
Breaking down the Eagles' playoff game at 4:40 p.m. Sunday in Chicago (NBC10), including key matchups and keys to the game.
The Eagles employ a running-back-by-committee approach, rotating Darren Sproles, Josh Adams, and Wendell Smallwood. They rushed for 129 yards on 34 carries against the Redskins on Sunday and have averaged 5.0 yards per carry in the last five games.
But the ground yards won't come as easily against the Bears as they did against Washington. The Bears are first in the NFL in run defense (80.0 yards per game) and fourth in opponent rush average (3.8). They've neutralized many of the league's top rushers, including the Rams' Todd Gurley (11-28), the Bills' LeSean McCoy (10-10), and the Cardinals' David Johnson (12-31), but they did give up 125 yards (on 24 carries) to Giants rookie-of-the-year candidate Saquon Barkley in a Week 13 overtime loss. The Bears have allowed just 28 runs of 10 yards or more, the fewest in the league.
Adams, an undrafted rookie, has been a pleasant surprise for the Eagles. The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder is averaging 4.3 yards per carry.
Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (52) pursuing 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. during the teams' game Dec. 23.
In the Eagles' wins over the Rams, Texans, and Redskins the last three weeks, Nick Foles had a 77.0 completion percentage and an 8.5-yards-per-attempt average and threw six touchdown passes and two interceptions. He's been getting the ball out quickly — an average of 2.20 seconds from snap to release. He tied an NFL record Sunday with 25 straight completions, most of them short throws. Just six of his 33 attempts traveled more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
Alshon Jeffery has been a much bigger part of the offense since Foles replaced injured Carson Wentz. In the last three games, Jeffery has 16 catches, 11 for first downs, and is averaging 18.8 yards per catch.
The Bears are as tough against the pass as they are against the run. They have a league-best 72.9 opponent passer rating. Their 27 interceptions are the most in the league. Their pass rush, led by Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks, is third in sacks with 50.
The Bears are just 27th in rush average (4.1). Jordan Howard is a powerfully built downhill runner who came up short on his bid for a third straight 1,000-yard season, finishing with 935 yards and nine TDs. Tarik Cohen is a Darren Sproles clone who averaged 4.5 yards per carry on 99 carries. The Bears run a lot of RPOs and zone-reads with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky has 31 rushing first downs, fourth most in the league among quarterbacks.
Bears running back Tarik Cohen is very similar to the Eagles' Darren Sproles.
The Bears aren't a great first-down running team. They're averaging just 3.91 yards per carry on first down, third worst in the league. That's notable because the Eagles have had problems stopping teams on first down this season, though they held their last two opponents, Washington and Houston, to 1.8 yards per carry on first down.
Howard has just two 100-yard rushing games this season. But both came in the last four weeks, including 109 yards on 21 carries Sunday against the Vikings. He is averaging 4.5 yards per carry over the last five games.
Second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky brings many of the same things to the table as the Eagles' Carson Wentz. He is a mobile quarterback with a strong arm who can extend plays and move the chains with his feet. He completed 18 of 26 passes Sunday against the Vikings but averaged only 6.3 yards per attempt. He hasn't thrown an interception the last three games.
Trubisky will spread the ball around. The Bears have five receivers with 400-plus receiving yards this season, including former Eagles tight end Trey Burton, who had 54 catches and six TDs. Cohen leads the Bears in receiving with 71 catches. They line him up all over the formation, and he will be a tough matchup for Eagles linebackers and defensive backs.
The Eagles' front four is playing as well as it has all season. The Eagles had 26 or more quarterback pressures in three of the last four games. The Eagles gave up just six TD passes in the last six games since being torched by Drew Brees in Week 12. The defense had just four interceptions in the first 10 games but has six in the last six.
Jake Elliott has made 26 of 31 field goal attempts this season, including 16 of his last 17. His lone miss was a 53-yarder against the Rams. Elliott is seventh in touchback percentage on kickoffs (70.4). Eight of his last 11 have been returned, but only for a 22.1-yard average. The Bears are last in the league in average drive start on kickoffs (23.4).
Punter Cam Johnston is fourth in net average (42.7), and the Eagles are sixth in punt coverage (6.3). They'll be tested Sunday by Tarik Cohen, who is averaging 12.5 yards per return. Eagles punt returner Darren Sproles is averaging only 8.3 yards per return, his lowest average as an Eagle. His longest return has been 14 yards. Bears punter Pat O'Donnell has had just 32.2 percent of his punts returned. That's the fifth-best percentage in the league.
Former Eagles kicker Cody Parkey has been erratic. He has five misses from 41 yards or less, and has missed two of his last four field goal attempts, from 37 and 38 yards. He also has missed three PATs, including one Sunday against the Vikings.
Ex-Eagles kicker Cody Parkey (1) has been inconsistent for the Bears this season.
The Bears have lost just once at home this season. That was to the Patriots in Week 7 (38-31). They've scored fewer than 24 points at home just once. The Eagles were 3-4 on the road, not including their neutral-site win over Jacksonville in London. They've scored more than 24 points on the road just twice.
Eagles OTs Jason Peters and Lane Johnson vs. Bears LB Khalil Mack: Mack, one of the league's elite pass-rushers, will line up on both the left and right sides. Johnson was very effective against him last year, when Mack was with the Raiders. Peters' health is a concern. If he has to leave the game, Mack will eat alive his replacement, Halapolulivaati Vaitai.
Eagles DT Fletcher Cox vs. Bears Gs Kyle Long and James Daniels and C Cody Whitehair: Cox (career-high 10 ½ sacks) is a seismic force in the middle. He has 40 quarterback pressures in the last six games and will require constant double-teams, which will create one-on-one matchups for his linemates, who need to take advantage of them.
Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery vs. Bears CB Kyle Fuller and S Eddie Jackson: Jeffery is averaging 18.8 yards per catch since Nick Foles replaced Carson Wentz. He has strong hands and a huge reach that give him an advantage on 50-50 balls. Fuller and Jackson are ball hawks who have combined for 13 interceptions.
Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky hasn't exactly flourished on third down this season.
Third-and-long: Jim Schwartz's defense has rediscovered its third-down mojo. They Eagles have held their last three opponents to seven third-down conversions on 31 attempts. The Bears are 11th in third-down offense (41.0 percent). But Mitchell Trubisky is 17th in third-down passing and 23rd on third-and-long (8 yards or more). Just nine of his 39 passes on third-and-8 or more have produced first downs.
Ball security: The Eagles have the worst turnover differential of any team in the playoffs (minus-6). The Bears, who finished third in turnover differential (plus-12), led the league in takeaways (36) and interceptions (27). Playing on the road against one of the league's best defenses, the Eagles can't afford to give the Bears easy scoring opportunities.
Starting fast: The Eagles need to do something Sunday they haven't been able to do most of the season: get off to a fast start. They finished last in the regular season in first-quarter scoring (41 points), but 20 of those 41 points came in their last five games. The problem is the Bears finished second in first-quarter scoring defense (38 points allowed) and seventh in first-quarter scoring offense (85 points).

Q: python regex problem s = re.sub(r"<style.*?</style>", "", s)

Isn't this code supposed to remove styles in the s string? Why does it not work? I am trying to remove the following code:
<style type="text/css">
body { ... }
</style>

Any suggestion?

A: No it's the re.DOTALL flag that is necessary !
re.DOTALL
Make the '.' special character match any character at all, including a newline; without this flag, '.' will match anything except a newline.
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.DOTALL
Edit
In some cases, it may be necessary to have a dot matching all characters (newlines comprised) in a region of a string, and to have a dot matching only non newlines characters in another region of the sting. But using flag re.DOTALL doesn't allow this.
In this case, it's usefull to know the following trick: using [\s\S] to symbolize every character
import re

s = '''alhambra
<style type="text/css">
body { ... }
</style>
toromizuXXXXXXXX
YYYYYYYYYYYYYY'''
print s,'\n'

regx = re.compile("<style[\s\S]*?</style>|(?<=ro)mizu.+")

s = regx.sub('AAA',s)

In spite of it being very interesting, it is potentially unknown to visitors, even those who have returned several times to Luxor.
It therefore seems of interest to provide up-to-date colour photographic coverage, which is almost complete thanks to the invaluable assistance of Christian Mariais, whose photographs supplement my own [T.B.].
If the temple is architecturally nearly intact, inside this is not the same, the state of its decoration has suffered a lot. This makes any correlation to be made with the drawings, from the principle descriptive article by Dominique Mallet, sometimes difficult.
The temple of Qasr el-Aguz
Prof. Claude Traunecker and Mme. Annie Schweitzer were kind enough to supply us with this text.
The small Ptolemaic temple of Qasr el-Aguz, situated very near of the temple of Medinet Habu, dates from Ptolemy VIII Evergetes II. It is composed of three successive oblong rooms, of which the two last, the room of the offerings and the sanctuary, are decorated. The room of the offerings is only partially sculpted, the majority of the great iconographic scenes being simply painted.
This temple was the object of an epigraphic survey by Dominique Mallet in 1909 (IFAO). This survey disregards the archaeological aspect of the topic completely. Besides, a preparatory visit done in November 2000 by Claude Traunecker and Annie Schweitzer allowed to measure how much this survey was in error and incomplete.
This is why, in the setting of a survey of the places of worship of the late period, and of its research on the late Theban liturgies, the Institute of Egyptology of the Marc Bloch University of Strasburg solicited by the Supreme Council of the Antiques of Egypt, in collaboration with the IFAO, was given the authorisation for work in this monument.
This project appears in a a four-fold perspective:
1. survey of the archaeological context of the monument with cleaning of large areas and limited surveys.
2. new survey of the decor of the temple with translation and commentary of the texts.
3. exhaustive survey of the architecture of the monument.
4. restoration and new presentation of the monument.
An initial campaign took place in April 2001. It brought together an archaeological team, epigraphic and architectural, of 6 people (three from Strasburg and three from Cairo).
The 2002 campaign, of the same importance, permitted the finalisation of a first copy of the texts and to locate the scenes of the decoration of the temple; the architecture team further advanced the recording of the data of the monument; the archaeological team discovered in the south survey of the sanctuary, a wall of bricks previous to the Ptolemaic temple; this last passes under the west wall of the temple. Information collected in the offerings room permit to locate a small church there.
During the 2003 campaign, an older brick wall, oriented north-south, was discovered during the cleaning of the narrow zone which borders the rear facade of the temple, in the east. This wall is oriented precisely the same as the Ptolemaic temple. Two sections of wall, re-cut by the construction of the temple of Ptolemy VIII, allow us to think that we are in a religious building of three sanctuaries previous to the Ptolemaic temple. Its northern and eastern extension has not been recognised during the 2004 campagne.
At the end of this campaign and before the detailed survey of the material, we propose a temporary chronology:
1. A great building in mud brick, probably of worship with three chambers (75,10). We have no characteristic ceramic material definitely associated to this construction, so that its date remains hypothetical.
2. The temple of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II with a paved walkways (76,20 outside).
3. The construction of the pronaos is incomplete as is the project for a surrounding wall with walkways, which seems to have been never achieved.
4. Modest and utilitarian constructions if established to the south and to the north above the Ptolemaic walkway from Roman or Coptic times.
5. The building of the lateral doors of the sanctuary and the reuse of the temple as a church with a large pavement of square paving slabs in the north.
Following the previous campaign work we now have a complete copy of the scenes and the texts of the temple (walls at 1/20th, drawings of the location of the texts at 1/10th and proportional copies of the texts). This documentation amounts to 151 numbered scenes.
The function of the temple of Qasr el-Aguz:
It has been believed for a long time that the temple of Qasr el-Aguz was an oracular building or one bound to the cult of a deified character. If the identity of the god honoured is without ambiguity, Thoth, present both in the epithets and in the representations, its meaning is very remote from the one which is attributed to him by the previous commentators of this building. It is necessary, indeed, to replace it entirely in the setting of the rituals of Djeme. In the sanctuary, on the rear wall, it is Amon of Djeme who occupies the axis of the temple, Thoth being relegated to the first register. On the lateral walls, can be found part of the daily cult in front of the statue of Thoth and his processional barque.
How can the connection between these two approaches be made? It is known that the rituals of Djeme, in the first millennium BC, of the former festivities of the necropolis, all link to the royal tombs and the commemorative temples of the reign. The departure of the Pharaonic royalty toward the capitals and especially toward the necropolises of the North from the XXIth Dynasty modified the Theban rituals and the very working of Thebes deeply as complex spaces and connected liturgies between them. Amon of Djeme, deceased form of the living Amon of Karnak comes to replace itself for Pharaoh. Every year, the living Amon comes to return the funerary cult to his deceased form. Besides, by ritual mimetism, other divinities benefit from this duality (Montu, Khonsu-Shu and Min). The legitimacy of the successor is bound closely to his role of officiant in the funerary ceremony and the predecessor's funerary cults.
But what role can Thoth play in this configuration?
The east wall of the sanctuary provides elements of a solution: on the upper register, represented in four scenes already noticed by Champollion: the reigning king Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II, to which he returns the cult to his forebears: Ptolemy II Philadelphe, Ptolemy III Euergetes I, Ptolemy IV Philopator and Ptolemy IV Epiphane.
On the south wall, the lower register represent two scenes extracted from the djemaic ritual (cult in Kematef, which means the creator and deceased Amon, and the offering of ointments in Onnophris) ; to the north (scene n° 7) Thoth attended by Horsaisis returns the symbols of the royal longevity to Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II.
The hypothesis of present work leads me to consider Thoth in his role as funerary officiating priest (Thoth setem). But by re-cutting these scenes with some Theban priest titles, it appears that Thoth is also the guardian of the royal crowns. Thoth of Qasr el-Aguz plays an important role therefore in the ceremonies of recognition of the Pharaonic royalty according to the specific rituals of Thebes.
At present, the relationship with the former "place beloved of Thoth" centre of administration and the maintenance of law and order in the necropolis, during the Third Intermediate Period, is not clear.

This temple-chapel had been constructed by Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II.
The names Thoth and Djehuty relate to the same god, Thoth is the Greek name for Djehuty.
The temple is dedicated to Thoth-ibis, a special form of Thoth referred to in the liturgies of the cult of Djeme
Two other variants are:
Dje-hr- (pa) -hb , Djehuty-Horus, (the) ibis
and Djhwty-stm , Djehuty-Setem, the setem or sem-priest.
Besides this specific title to the temple, he also carries the usual epithets of Lord of Khmun (Hermopolis), Lord of the Divine Words, … In the temple, the god is always represented with a human body and the head of an ibis, sometimes crowned with the lunar disk, sometimes with a crown similar to the atef crown. The major difference is that that this variation does not cover the top of head, but rests on it, and usually resting on the horns of a ram.
It is possible that a sacred ibis cult took place here.
The mentioned of two mortal divinities from ancient times can also be found: Imhotep son-of-ptah, in his role of godly healer and Amenhotep son-of-Hapu. Their representations are confined to the second room, and they are not found in the sanctuary at the rear.
Finally the Ptolemaic dynastic cult itself is even represented here extensively, including the forebears of Ptolemy (but without mentioning the first Ptolemy, son of Lagos, who was a commoner, general of Alexander the Great) and their queens. By the subtly of providing the kings and queens with the attributes and crowns of the gods and goddesses, the popular effect of assimilating of one with the other is accentuated.
Who is Who ?
In the decorations of this monument it is Ptolemy VIII (c. 182BC–116BC), who is portrayed.
Four of his predecessors (Ptolemy II to V, great-great-grandfather to father) also appear, but as deified kings.
The numbering of the Ptolemies is a modern invention. During the Greco-Egyptian period they were identified by secondary and even nicknames. Ptolemy VIII was known fully as Ptolemy Euergetes Phsycon ("Phsycon" meaning "pot-bellied"). Today he is known as Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II Phsycon.
Ptolemy VIII appears with two Cleopatras (but not at the same time) ; these are Cleopatra II and Cleopatra III. If unnumbered, it is Cleopatra II who is being portrayed.
Cleopatra III was born to Ptolemy VI (Philometer) and Cleopatra II. Ptolemy VI (Philometer), Ptolemy VII (Neos Philopater) and Ptolemy VIII (Euergetes II) were the brothers of Cleopatra II.
After the death of Ptolemy V, the eldest brother (Ptolemy VI) became the King of Egypt, and (being very young) his mother was regent. He later married his sister Cleopatra II. In an attempt to gain control, Ptolemy VIII had his brother expelled and he married Cleopatra II. He later had Philopater (Ptolemy VII, who never reigned) killed, thus taking the throne fully for himself.
Euergetes then discarded Cleopatra II and married Cleopatra III, making her Queen and joint ruler.
The Cleopatra of "Anthony and Cleopatra" fame, was: Cleopatra VII Philopator (69 BC - 30 BC). She originally shared power with her father Ptolemy XII and later with her brothers/husbands Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV; eventually gaining sole rule of Egypt.
Goddesses accompany Thoth and the other gods, while in the royal scenes, it is queen Cleopatra who accompanies Ptolemy and plays the role of a goddess.
The principle goddess mentioned is Nehemauait, she is at times the consort of the snake divinity Nehebu-kau, but also of Thoth, as is the case here. It also seems that she was venerated in all sanctuaries of Thoth, notably in his city of origin, Hermopolis. Usually, but not here, she is represented as a goddess to the child. She wears on her head an architectural sistrum which allows us to differentiate her from Mut and Hathor.
The monument is in Thebes, and the model of the Theban triad, that associates with Thoth a "god's son", in the person of Khonsu, who holds the same role in the classic Theban triad (Amon - Mut - Khonsu).
After Pharaonic times, the temple was transformed into a stable.
One of its original aspects is the inclusion of numerous non sculpted (but solely painted) scenes, which is very rare. This translates into an incompleteness of the building. This is apparent on the outside walls, which are also undecorated.
It was reported that the wall representations are variably preserved, and the comparison between the present photos and the descriptions of Mallet shows that the state of the temple has deteriorated distinctly over one century.
Jean-Baptiste Prosper JOLLOIS wrote in the "Description de l'Égypte":
This small temple, if judged by the area which it covers, is of little importance.
It was not finished, which its partially roughly-hewn portico and the undecorated outside of the walls evidently announce; but it deserves to be seen, because, containing entirely finished sculptures and others which are only drawn, it represents the different stages of work of the Egyptian artists in the execution of the bas-reliefs.
This can be seen from the figures drawn in red with a purity of line and a boldness of drawing, which supposes a great knowledge of form and a lot of skill in those who executed them. These drawings are superior to the sculptures. The proportions, to which the draftsmen were limited, were determined by squares which still remain. Such was the high standard of the work, which was probably executed by a same class of artists.
Very close to these figures constructed in simple lines, can be seen an outlined bas-relief. The sculptor's chisel followed all the contours of the drawing, and made the material which surrounded the space, circumscribed by the draftsman's features, disappear. This operation detached the figure from the base: but it was still unrefined; all shapes were angular, and all parts of the relief were in the same plane: it therefore required the work of a second class of workers. Then a more skilful sculptor came to put the finishing touches to the sketched work, and to give the soft and rounded forms which can be noticed in the entirely finished sculptures. Figures which were not painted, and the others which are quite brilliant with the deepest colours, allows for conjecture of the work of the painter who immediately followed that of the sculptor.

CROWNS : variations on a theme.
Throughout the temple both the king and Thoth wear many variations of the atef crown, which has as its base the white crown of Upper Egypt. All have the addition of horns. Most, certainly all of Thoth's, sit on top of the head rather than covering the scalp. Some have the addition of a uraei (usually two), a solar disc on its head, one on either side.
All are shown as seen from the front, instead of in the same profile as the head wearing them. The first image below shows it as would be seen in the correct profile. The last is an example where the atef variant is mounted on the red crown of Lower Egypt
Some appear to be comprised of three smaller versions on top of the horns. This is sometimes called the "hem-hem" crown, or "triple-atef". Again, one is combined with the red crown.
Throughout these pages, all will be referred to as "atef-like" crowns.
At the centre of its front (east) wall still survives an impressive entrance, which is directly in line with the main axis of the chapel doorways (see ). This gives way to an oblong courtyard 13.0 x 3.7m and which must have been 7m high. It stood in place of a pronaos, or hypostyle hall, but which didn't include any true columns.
Behind is the actual chapel, measuring 13 x 8m. Its axis is perpendicular to the courtyard. The first two rooms are considered as vestibules, the third being the sanctuary.
The whole main structure, including the courtyard is further surrounded, on three of its sides, by an additional wall; the front being open.
Located at the centre of the west wall is the large entry to room 1. Two more (smaller) doorways are located one each side of the main chapel building, giving access to the areas at the side of the chapel. Another, even smaller exit doorway is located at the upper (west) end of the south wall.
This first room measures 7.40m north-south, 3.75m east-west and 3.6m high.
It is entered through another impressive doorway, at the top of which is the remains of a cavetto cornice. This almost certainly had as its decoration a winged sun-disc. At the centre, the disc had on either side a ureaus serpent, all produced in raised relief; the wings being originally painted in red. Nothing of the colour remains, but the raised central portion is still visible. This design appears to have been used on the Egyptian cornice (and under the lintels) of the other doors on the main axis of the chapel.
This was the symbol of Ra, the sun god, under his epithet of "Sun Of Righteousness with healing in his wings".
A variation of this symbol (the cadeceus, see left) is still used today in association with healing. The temple, with its relationship with Thoth, in his role as healer and magician, would appear to have been a possible place visited by people in search of recovery (or at least somewhere to pray for it).
None of the surfaces of the uprights of the doorway have retained any decoration or colour.
The room was originally illuminated from small windows (see ) which were wider on the inside. A large part of its roof (on the right) is missing and is therefore now partially open to the sky.
At the centre of the west wall is the entry to room 2 (discussed in full later). At the western end of the south wall is a much smaller doorway to the outside of the building.
The walls and ceiling of this room are completely uninscribed and of little interest.
THE DOORWAY BETWEEN ROOMS 1 AND 2
The room 1 entry side of the doorway is surmounted with an Egyptian cavetto cornice, which again was decorated with the winged sun-disc. Nothing of its original design has been retained, other than the remains of the disc at its centre.
There is no cavetto cornice on the room 2 side of the doorway.
The uprights
The outer faces, those facing into room 1, project only minimally beyond the normal surface of the west wall. The inner faces, those facing into room 2, do however project beyond the normal surface of the east wall of that room. The surfaces facing into room 2 show faint remains of some hieroglyphs, in two vertical columns. The room surfaces have virtually nothing.
The inner thicknesses have still retained some of their original decoration, in .
On the right (north) thickness are four scenes, which show, starting at the top:
an image of a mummified Khonsu, wearing a lunar disk on his head and a Menat-necklace, of which the counterweight can be seen hanging down his back. He has the sidelock of youth and, at the same time, the false beard of the god of the dead. He holds in his hands several sceptres. His identifying texts are missing, but he was probably named Khonsu-Thoth, like the one below.
a now almost invisible image of a god with the head of falcon. According to the text above him, however, he is identified as Khonsu-Thoth .
the upper remains of the sistrum which surmounted the head of Nehemauait and also the tops of two cartouches belonging to the king. The figures of both characters been eroded by time.
the scene which would have represented the king in front of Amon-Ra, nothing now exists.
On the left (south) thickness, in the position of the similar image on the opposite side, is the figure of the hawk-headed Khonsu, his actual name is lost. Again the king, who must have been worship in front of him, is erased.
Both above and below, had to have been scenes analogous to those facing, all of which have now disappeared.
On both sides, the images of the gods (or goddess) would have had the king in front and facing them, none of which have survived. In each case, the king would have been approaching from outside the chapel.
The lintel face
(facing into room 1)
At the time of Mallet, the designs on this surface were still (just) identifiable; however, today, they have almost disappeared. Mallet quotes a note made by Champollion: "On the banner, one sees bas-reliefs drawn in red, representing Euergetes II adoring the god Thoth.".
First scene
All that remains of this scene is the seated character with a lunar disc on his head. This is certainly one of the two male divinities (Imhotep and Amenhotep) found in room 2; this one probably being Amenhotep. Facing him would have been the figure of the king, and probably the queen, bearing gifts.
Second scene
Here can be seen three characters: king Euergetes II, a god and a goddess. Euergetes, coming from the left (south) part of the temple, presents to the god the "wine of the south" . The god is Thoth, with the head of an ibis; he says to the king: "I grant that you inherit the Two Lands, on the throne of Shu" . Behind Thoth (only her arm now survives) is probably Nehemauait, his regular companion.
Third scene
The king, coming this time from the north, again presents vases of wine to a god (who is now lost), probably Thoth, as in the symmetrical scene of the south.
Fourth scene
The king, wearing the atef-like crown on the klaft head covering, is followed by queen Cleopatra, who wears the Hathoric crown. Arms raised, she pays homage to a now destroyed god, who can be only Imhotep, since he is counterpart of the one in the first scene (if that one was Amenhotep). Ptolemy is thus under the protection of these two extremely popular divinities at this time; besides, their main cult centres were respectively at Thebes, therefore in the south, and in Memphis, therefore in the north.
Under the lintel
Having two surfaces due to the inner (room 2 side) being designed to take a door, it has two separate images. They are both painted in red and both contain a design with open wings.
The surface closest to room 1 (the shortest of the two) has, at its centre, a sun-disk, on either side of which is a uraeus. The top of the design is at the room 1 edge.
On the one nearest to room 2, the design is that of a vulture, its head towards room 2. In its claws it holds two long standards with a large feather emblem and at its upper edge is a line of hieroglyphic text, which ends with the cartouche of Ptolemy.
These two images are better preserved than those under the lintel of the next doorway, which connects rooms 2 and 3.

Henderson County's QB, Skip Patterson is this week's Revolutionary POW
October 6, 2018 Fletcher Long #WeGotUCovered, Advertisement
There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank player of the week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry. Independence Bank has a goal of achieving everyday excellence, and this week we are focusing on a player whose performance both has and continues to exceed both the Colonels' and the Henderson, Kentucky community's expectations. We are focusing on the class of 2019, QB, Skip Patterson, from Henderson, Kentucky, whose Henderson County High School is right down the road from 3 Independence Bank branches on 76 S. Green Street, the Gardenside Shopping Center on 2610 Zion Road, and 1100 Barret Blvd., respectively.
Skip Patterson entered the McCracken County game in rare company. You see, the 5-11 and 205 pound QB, who many believe to be built more like a MLB, is the second, all-time, leader as a QB in both career passing yards and career TDs. Patterson had the Colonels rolling too coming in to play a McCracken team it hasn't beaten since McCracken opened. While the Colonels didn't win last night either, it wasn't for want of effort from its four-year starter. Patterson rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns in 25 carries while completing 11 of his 23 passing attempts for 121 yards passing and another score.
With last night's game very much still in doubt, Patterson powered over the goal line from 14 yards out, in the first half, to close the gap at halftime to 15-10. In the second half, Patterson scored on another keeper, from seven yards away this time, to, once again, close the margin to 22-17. McCracken County went on to win the game 36-24. With two regular season games remaining, Patterson has his Colonels 5-3 overall and 2-1 in Class 6A's first district. If the Colonels can win the remaining two regular season games against Daviess County and then Owensboro (Senior), which are both to be played in Henderson County, it would have the Colonels headed into the KHSAA playoffs with some real momentum. With a QB like Skip Patterson under center, we would say about anything is possible.
Congratulations to Skip Patterson from the Henderson County High School in Henderson, Kentucky for his Revolutionary Play which has earned him this week's recognition from the fastest growing bank in the Commonwealth of Kentucky…your friends at Independence Bank.

LOGAN, Utah – Utah State football will face New Mexico State in the third-annual NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl on Friday, Dec. 29, at 3:30 p.m. (MT) at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz., it was announced Sunday. The game will be televised live on CBS Sports Network (Comcast Ch. 269/753HD, Dish Network Ch. 158, DirecTV Ch. 221).
Utah State and New Mexico State have a history in bowl games, as NMSU posted a 20-13 win against Utah State in the 1960 Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. Ironically, that was the last bowl game NMSU had appeared in prior to this season.
As for Utah State, it played in five-straight bowl games from 2011-15 and won three-straight bowls from 2012-14, both of which are school records. All-time, USU is 4-7 in its 11 bowl games and this marks the first repeat opponent for Utah State in a bowl game.
Utah State also has a history with the Sun Belt Conference, as it was a football-only member of the league for two seasons from 2003-04.
"We are extremely excited to accept the invitation to represent Utah State University and the Mountain West in the 2017 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl," said fifth-year Utah State head coach Matt Wells. "This bowl game is a great reward for our team and its accomplishments this year, and solidifies the strength and consistency of this program as we will be playing in our sixth bowl game in the past seven years."
All-time, this will be Utah State's 12th bowl appearance in program history as it played in the 1946 Raisin Bowl, the 1947 Grape Bowl, the 1960 Sun Bowl, the 1961 Gotham Bowl, the 1993 Las Vegas Bowl, the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl, the 2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the 2013 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, the 2014 Gildan New Mexico Bowl and the 2015 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
"On behalf of Utah State University, we are thrilled to represent the Mountain West at the 2017 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, said USU Vice President and Director of Athletics John Hartwell. "Utah State and New Mexico State have a storied past as members of three different conferences and that rivalry should make for an entertaining game for everyone, including both fan bases.
"I'm excited for our student-athletes to experience another bowl game and we look forward to the hospitality of Tucson."
New Mexico State is 6-6 on the season and finished tied for fifth place in the Sun Belt Conference with a 4-4 record after winning three of its final four games, including a 22-17 home win against South Alabama in its regular-season finale on Dec. 2. All-time, NMSU is 2-0-1 in bowl games (1936, 1959, 1960).
"We are excited to prepare for a quality New Mexico State team that had an outstanding season. Our staff has great respect for New Mexico State head coach Doug Martin and the entire team with the success they had this season," added Wells.
Utah State is 58-30 all-time against current members of the Sun Belt Conference, which includes a 30-7 record against New Mexico State, a 20-17-2 record against Idaho, a 4-3 record against Arkansas State, a 1-1 record versus Louisiana, a 1-2 record against both Louisiana-Monroe and Troy, and a 1-0 record against Texas State. USU has never faced Sun Belt members Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State or South Alabama.
Historically, Utah State's series with New Mexico State is currently the seventh-most played in school history, trailing Utah (112), BYU (87), Colorado State (74), Wyoming (68), Idaho (39) and San José State (38). Furthermore, USU's 30 victories against NMSU is the fourth-most against any opponent in school history, trailing the 38 wins versus Wyoming, the 36 victories against Brigham Young and the 33 wins against Colorado State.
In all, Utah State and New Mexico State spent 26 years as conference foes as both were members of the Big West Conference from 1985-2000, members of the Sun Belt Conference from 2002-03, and members of the Western Athletic Conference from 2005-12. In the Big West, USU held a 15-1 series advantage against NMSU, while the two teams split its two games as members of the Sun Belt. As memers of the WAC, USU had a 6-2 series advantage.
Utah State is 6-6 on the season and finished tied for fourth place in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West with a 4-4 record after concluding its regular season with a 38-35 loss at Air Force on Nov. 25. Offensively, USU is led by redshirt freshman QB Jordan Love, who is 104-of-191 (.545) passing for 1,377 yards (125.2 ypg) with eight touchdowns and six interceptions. Senior RB LaJuan Hunt leads the team in rushing with 695 yards on 149 carries (4.7 ypc/57.9 ypg) with 10 touchdowns, and junior WR Ron'quavion Tarver has 40 receptions for 472 yards (11.8 ypr/39.3 ypg) with seven touchdowns. Defensively, junior LB Suli Tamaivena leads the team with 109 tackles, which includes 3.0 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss, to go along with two fumble recoveries, while junior BS Gaje Ferguson has 86 tackles, which includes 1.0 sacks and 2.0 tackles for loss, to go along with one forced fumble. As a team, USU is averaging 31.0 points and 393.8 yards of total offense (223.7 passing, 170.1 rushing), and allowing 27.0 points and 401.7 yards of total offense (219.9 rushing, 181.8 passing).
Highlighting Utah State's team this season is senior cornerback Jalen Davis, who earned first-team all-Mountain West honors. Davis finished the season ranking first in the Mountain West and seventh in the nation with his five interceptions, and first in the conference and eighth nationally with his 18 passes defended (1.5 pg). He also ranked first on the team with his 4.0 sacks and was second with his 5.0 tackles for loss, while adding one forced fumble as he started all 12 games. He finished the regular season with a team-best 13 pass breakups and ranked 10th with his 32 tackles.
Davis, who was named a unanimous mid-season All-American and one of 13 finalists for the Jim Thorpe Ward as the top defensive back in the nation, ranks tied for first in the nation with his three defensive touchdowns. He is also the only player in the nation with three interception returns for a touchdown and one of just three FBS players to have multiple interceptions in multiple games during the season. Furthermore, he is the first FBS player to have three interceptions and return two of them for touchdowns in the same game since 2012, doing so against BYU on Sept. 29. Davis also had a career-high four pass breakups against Hawai'i on Nov. 18, which ranks tied for the ninth-most in a game at the FBS level this year.
Offensively, Utah State had another first-team all-Mountain West honoree in sophomore placekicker Dominik Eberle, who is one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award this season. Eberle leads the MW and ranks sixth nationally in field goal percentage (.889), is third in the conference and ranks 35th in the nation in field goals made per game (1.33), and is eighth in the MW and 55th in the nation in scoring (7.8 ppg). He is 16-of-18 on field goal attempts this season, including 7-of-7 from 20-29 yards, 3-of-4 from 30-39 yards, 4-of-5 from 40-49 yards, and 1-of-1 from 50-plus yards, as those 16 made field goals are tied for the sixth-most in a single season in school history. He has also made all 45 of his extra points on the year, as those 45 extra points made rank tied for third and the 45 extra point attempts rank fourth all-time at USU for a single season.
Eberle, who ranks second all-time in school history with his 93 points scored by a kicker this season, also set a single-game school record for points scored by a kicker with 19 against San José State on Sept. 23, as he was 4-of-4 on field goal attempts (23, 52, 20, 27) and 7-of-7 on extra points, both of which are career highs. His 52-yard field goal against the Spartans was a career long and tied for the 10th-longest in school history, while his 19 points scored are the second-most in MW history by a kicker and the most by a non-senior. Eberle has also kicked off 69 times for 4,229 yards this season for an average of 61.3 yards per kickoff with 38 touchbacks, which is an average of 55.1 percent of the time.
In all, Utah State had three offensive players (OL-Roman Andrus, OL-Quin Ficklin, TE-Dax Raymond), two defensive players (CB-Jalen Davis, S-Dallin Leavitt) and one specialist (PK-Dominik Eberle) recognized for a total of six all-Mountain West honorees.
Offensively, Utah State ranks second in the Mountain West and 16th nationally in red zone efficiency at 91.4 percent, as it has scored 32 times on 35 trips, with 19 touchdowns and 13 field goals. And, the Aggies also ranked fourth in the conference with an average of 31.0 points scored per game.

Defensively, Utah State ranks second in the Mountain West and is seventh in the nation with 26 forced turnovers, while ranking first in the conference and second in the nation with its 15 forced fumbles. USU's defense also ranks tied for second in the nation with five touchdowns, and is third in the MW and 18th in the nation allowing just 181.8 passing yards per game. USU's defense also ranks tied for fourth in the conference and tied for 37th in the nation in red zone defense efficiency at 80.0, as it has allowed its opponents to score on 32 of 40 trips, with 20 touchdowns and 12 field goals. And finally, USU's defense ranks fourth in the MW and 18th in the nation in fourth down conversions at 39.1 percent.
