NORFOLK, Va. - On a fourth-and-29 play with 1:07 remaining, sophomore quarterback Grant Enders threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Tom Ryan as the No. 17 Tigers (5-1, 3-0) overcame an 11-point deficit in the final minutes to stun No. 18 Old Dominion University (5-2) in a Colonial Athletic Association game before a stunned crowd of 19,818 at Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The pass play completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in program history. It also enabled the Tigers to remain tied for first place in the CAA with Maine (5-1, 3-0).
The Tigers were down to their final play when Enders rolled out and fired a pass to Ryan, who caught the ball in traffic at the ODU 30-yard line. He broke a tackle, followed two blocks and carried two ODU defensive players into the end zone for the touchdown.
The Monarchs' hopes for a comeback win were dashed when linebacker Kenton Powell intercepted a pass.
Enders, who completed 24 of 37 passes for a career high 314 yards, overcame five sacks to pull out the win. Before throwing the game-winning touchdown pass, he had actually sat out a play because he was hit hard on a second down sack.
"I'm very glad I got back into the game," he said. "I just told my guys to run a deep out and get to the first down sticks. All the credit goes to Tom. He made a tremendous play."
Ryan said, "I went up and got the ball and broke free. I knew I had gotten the first down. I had two guys (Leon Kinnard and Alex Blake) blocking for me. I just kept going and made it to the end zone."
The Tigers had cut their deficit to 35-30 with 3:13 left when Enders scored on an eight-yard run. That capped a 75-yard drive in nine plays. The Tigers went for two points and Kinnard, normally a wide receiver, threw the two-point conversion pass to Mike Evans to make it 35-32.
Then, D.J. Soven's onsides kick was perfectly executed and recovered at the Towson 45-yard line by Corey Ford, setting up the winning drive.
In a game that featured 1,016 yards of total offense, the two teams exchanged the lead four times.
Freshman Terrance West, who ran for 128 yards and scored four touchdowns in the Tigers' win over Richmond last week, picked up right where he left off against Old Dominion.
On his second carry of the game, he ran around right end and outraced two ODU defensive backs to the end zone for a 47-yard touchdown run, giving the Tigers a 7-0 lead just 3:27 into the game. West's touchdown run capped off a 81-yard, five-play drive for the Tigers, a drive on which Enders completed a 23-yard pass on third down to Ryan.
On their second possession of the game, the Monarchs marched 60 yards in ten plays and tied the game on a three-yard touchdown run by freshman Tyree Lee with 8:13 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the first quarter, West broke loose for another long touchdown run. On first down at the Towson 46-yard line, he burst up the middle and ran to the right. His career long 54-yard TD run gave the Tigers a 14-7 lead with 4:14 left in the first quarter.
He finished the game with a career high 148 yards on 16 carries.
The Monarchs came back and tied the game at 14-14 with 13:09 remaining in the first half when freshman Angus Harper made history for ODU. He broke through the line and ran down the right sideline, just beating cornerback Justin Harris to the end zone, tying the game for the second time. His 64-yard run was the longest run in the three-year history of Old Dominion football.
On the Monarchs' next possession, freshman quarterback Taylor Heinicke directed ODU on a drive to the Tigers' 36-yard line. Facing fourth down-and-six, he completed a pass to junior wide receiver Nick Mayers on a crossing pattern. Mayers caught the ball at the 30-yard line and kept on running to score on a 36-yard touchdown pass. The Monarchs' 86-yard, ten-play drive gave ODU its first lead of the game, a 21-14 advantage with 6:30 remaining in the half.
Late in the half, the Tigers drove to the ODU 22-yard line. However, Enders was sacked on a third down play. On fourth down at the 30, Soven was called on to try a 47-yard field goal. His kick was good and the Tigers trailed at halftime, 21-17.
On their opening drive of the second half, the Tigers regained the lead. They marched 64 yards on eight plays and scored the go-ahead touchdown when senior fullback Tyler Wharton caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Enders on a third down-and-one play with 10:59 left in the third quarter. Wharton's four TD catch of the season have the Tigers a 24-21 lead.
Once again, the Monarchs responded with a touchdown drive. They marched 75 yards in nine plays and took a 28-24 lead when Heinicke threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Prentice Gill with 7:10 left in the third quarter.
Trailing by 28-24, the Tigers came right back. A 39-yard kickoff return by freshman cornerback Tye Smith to the Monarchs' 47-yard line gave Towson excellent field position. They moved the ball to the ODU 19-yard line where junior safety Carvin Powell made a game-changing play. He intercepted Enders' pass in the end zone and returned it to the four-yard line.
On the next play, Heinicke completed a pass to Gill, who caught the ball and ran up the near sideline. Ford caught him from behind at the Towson three-yard line and knocked the ball loose. Gill recovered the fumble just before it went out of the end zone for a touchdown to give ODU a 35-24 lead.
In the fourth quarter, the Tigers drove to the ODU ten-yard line where they faced fourth down-and-three. On a pitch to the left to West, cornerback Aaron Evans made a great one-on-one tackle and the Tigers turned the ball over.
However, the Tiger defense held ODU on downs, setting the stage for the Tigers' comeback.

I haven't seen any of the films in the dramatic competition (who has?), but ten of its sixteen films are driven by the names of well-known actors. That doesn't necessarily mean the films aren't art (for instance, Eric Mendelsohn, who won the best-director prize at the festival in 1999 for the extraordinary "Judy Berlin," which starred Edie Falco, is back with "3 Backyards," in which Falco again appears along with Embeth Davidtz and Elias Koteas), but the trend is not promising; it suggests that—despite the statement by the festival's new director, John Cooper, that he and the other programmers "weren't going to be swayed by the marketability of a film"—there's no need for anyone to be swayed, because Sundance has got marketability in its bones. There's nothing wrong with marketability—but the best independent films I've seen in recent years were not shown at Sundance.

I'd sure like to know what is really going on here with Ally and the Feds. If you read Ally's ratings they seem to be in excellent condition and yet the Fed is hounding them. Why isn't the Fed "dumping" all the others they have given billions of dollars to who have yet to repay them? What is really going on with the Fed and Ally? Anyone have any answers?

MONTREAL — The Montreal/New Music Festival highlights the best of contemporary music with its sixth edition beginning today.
This year's theme, "Voice and Percussion," is showcased in more than 50 musical events through Sunday, March 3. The biennial event began in 2003 under the auspices of Walter Boudreau, the current artistic director of the Societe de Musique Contemporaine du Quebec, or SMCQ.
"The first 20 years of the SMCQ was establishing a savoir faire — a repertoire, a forum — to invite musicians from around the world to perform in Quebec and showcase our own talent," Boudreau said. "And Montreal slowly put itself on the international map as a place for contemporary music."
But a bigger showcase was necessary.
"It was like having a warehouse full of musical artifacts," Boudreau said. "But the warehouse was piling up."
Europe hosted quite successful, larger-scale events in the contemporary-music world, Boudreau said.
"We were right by Interstate 87, but we had no ramp. You just drove by. So we built the ramp — in the form of a festival."
In 2003, the Montreal/New Music Festival was born, and international and local musicians — and highly satisfied audiences — have been attending ever since. The goal of the fest is to bridge the contemporary-music scene between Europe and North America.
"And we aim to show a variety of what that is," Boudreau said.
There's a little, unique something for everyone.
The program includes an original concert staging of the Leonard Bernstein classic "West Side Story" presented by Percussions Claviers de Lyon. The version replaces dancers with a "percussion ballet" and also includes a cast of four singers and urban-style animated projections. It's presented Saturday, Feb. 23, at Salle Pierre-Mercure of Centre Pierre-Peladeau, 300 de Maisonneuve Blvd. E. Tickets cost $30 for adults, $20 for those over 50, and $15 for students.

When I first started in Photography, a monopod (to me) was something I considered useless. I just didn't understand it. I knew of, and had used, tripods and those made sense, but monopods?
In this 4 part series I look at the 48 shots that I pretty much shoot on every wedding in one way or another
There is a lot of different opinions regarding the "high lights" post production effect, best known as "High Key".
Reproduction of natural light environments using small flash heads and large light modifiers.
At first glance, a Neutral Density filter – or ND filter, as they're more commonly known – appears to be a fairly dull, uninteresting grey filter. However, ND's are one of the most useful and creative filter types available and are particularly popular for landscape photography.
As a travel photographer I need to be prepared for as many situations as possible, and for extended periods of travel it is essential to pack as efficiently and light as possible. I generally go out on a shoot with the bare minimum of equipment as I don't want to be carrying around excess weight...

Remember Me
IRON RIVER—After a long discussion, the Iron County Road Commission decided during its April meeting not to contest a lawsuit in Circuit Court. The suit was filed by Kris Hughes and Daniel and Rhonda Sampila, asking the Road Commission and other defendants to vacate a 44-foot wide parcel on the west shore of Hagerman Lake.
The parcel has been dedicated for an access road to the lake in a 1927 plat, attorney Mark Tousignant explained, but the road was never built. The suit asks that the land be divided equally between the plaintiffs, who own the adjacent parcels. Stambaugh Township has already agreed to the request. The Road Commission's main concern was about the area being replatted (at the plaintiffs' expense) once the parcel is vacated and whether the Road Commission's right of way for Hagerman Lake Road would be affected. Road Commission Superintendent Doug Tomasoski said the road is not included in the plat. The motion to sign a stipulation of consent passed 4-1, with Commissioner Ernest Schmidt opposed—he wanted a public hearing before any decision. • Tomasoski reported on a MIOSHA surprise inspection last week. "It went relatively well," he said. Several problems had already been corrected before the inspector left. Three were left: frayed extension cords; soap bottles not labeled "soap"; and an office copy machine closer than three feet from an electrical panel. "Some minor things." The formal report won't come for three to six weeks—after that, the county will have 15 days to make corrections. • Raymond Kudwa, Mastodon Township trustee, talked about a culvert needed for a low spot on McLaren Road, asking that the Road Commission check it out. He also asked about snow fences that a citizen wants on Buck Lake. Tomasoski said the commission leaves snow fence decisions up to the local foreman. "Tell him it's spring," said Dan Germic, chairman. Kudwa also asked about several road names the township had submitted. Tomasoski said he had checked logs dating back to 1944 and 1952 and old Act 51 maps. As long as names are not duplicated, he saw no problem. The names may be on the May meeting agenda. Related to road striping for the 424 project, Mastodon Township and the Road Commission will work together on center-line striping on 27.6 more miles of township road. • Tomasoski said the commission will discuss sealcoating existing township roads. "It's been a while since we've done any." The commission will seek bids from contractors and then contact townships about their share of the cost. • After hearing from Lawrence Wiegand, the commission agreed to have a tree removed from the right of way along Forest Highway 16. Wiegand says the branches block his view of traffic when he tries to leave his driveway. The tree, which was removed later last week, was 15 feet off the edge of the road, well within the right of way. • Mansfield Township Supervisor Richard Dryjanski asked about snow fences near Camp Sagola. After some trees were removed, there have been drifting problems, partially closing the road. Tomasoski said the state tells the county where to put snow fences—the county only puts them up and takes them down. Commissioner Charles Battan said part of the problem is that the mail boxes should be on the other side of the road. "That's been a problem there." • Commissioners discussed how the board should evaluate Tomasoski and its own work. Chairman Dan Germic spoke about Lou Bender, a mediator who works with other agencies, including road commissions. Marquette County has used him on a specific issue, and he has worked with them several times since. Most of the commission seemed uninterested in using an outside mediator or his $2,300 fee. "We are the watchdogs who watch Doug," Commissioner Joe Sabol said. "In the long run, I feel we're doing a good job." Germic said a personnel committee should create a objective system for evaluations. "Every time," he explained, "it's a different board, a different chairman and a different set of criteria. He probably doesn't know what is expected of him." • In other business: --Heritage Trail proposals have been sent to a selection committee. There may be a special meeting to approve a consultant. --State bid lettings will take place in May. --Sabol complimented the county road crews for their extra work during an extremely long winter. "They've really been giving it out there with this crazy weather we've been having."

UChicago is hotter than ever, climbing up the US News National University Rankings. We're ranked 4th in the nation! While tied with Columbia, only Harvard, Yale, and Princeton outrank us. BOOYAH!
Had I not gone to the University of Chicago, I have often wondered, what might my life be like? I suspect I would be wealthier. But reading the books I did, and have continued to throughout my life, has made it all but impossible to concentrate on moneymaking in the way that is required to acquire significant wealth. Without the experience of the University of Chicago, perhaps I would have been less critical of the world's institutions and the people who run them; I might even have been among those who do run them. I might, who knows, have been happier, if only because less introspective—nobody said the examined life is a lot of laughs—without the changes wrought in me by my years at the University of Chicago. Yet I would not trade in those three strange years for anything.
They say the hardest part of going to school at Harvard is "getting in," implying that once you're in, the work is moderate, the grades are slightly padded, and you can get by with relatively little stress; the real bitch is getting accepted at such a selective institution. Here at U of C, the…

This is why life as a Cougar football fan sucks: Montgomery done
Is it the losing? That's certainly tough, but it's crap like this that just depresses the hell out of you. The team shows some fight, flashes some ability ... and then this. Over and over and over again. It's like the football gods are paying us back for letting us taste Pac-10 championships. (The link is now fixed. Sorry about that.)

Jet-Care, a provider of engine condition trend monitoring services, has launched an engine trend program for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine as part of its Gas Path Analysis (GPA) portfolio.
The U.S. Air Force said on August 19 that it recently grounded 82 two-seat F-16D fighters following the discovery of canopy sill longeron cracks between the front and rear pilot seats.
Just five months after celebrating the delivery of its first new-build Eclipse 550 light jet, Eclipse Aerospace laid off a "substantial" number of employees at its Albuquerque, N.M. headquarters and facilities in Chicago and Charleston, S.C., citing slow sales for its very light jet.
Business jet demand has not recovered in line with corporate profits as it has in the past. J.P. Morgan aerospace analyst Joseph Nadol III attributes the sluggishness to "the stigma attached to bizjets during the recent recession and a focus on cost cutting among corporate customers. We estimate that 2013 U.S. corporate profits were up about 50 percent from the 2008 trough, whereas bizjet deliveries have yet to turn up decisively."
Europe has delayed the mandate for ADS-B out equipage in its airspace. The earliest ADS-B out requirement in Europe was Jan. 8, 2015, for new aircraft, with retrofit installations due Dec. 7, 2017. The new dates are June 8, 2016, for new aircraft and June 7, 2020, for retrofit.

Air charter broker Sentient Jet is seeing a "resurgence" in both business and leisure travel, the company announced today. In the first five months of this year, corporate travel (Monday through Wednesday) increased 10 percent year-over-year, while leisure travel (Friday through Sunday) jumped 17 percent, according to the company. For the upcoming Labor Day weekend, private jet bookings are up 37 percent over last year and 289 percent above 2012, it noted.
Avfuel expanded its branded FBO network with the addition of Apex Aviation at Vernal (Utah) Regional Airport and Wells Aircraft at Hutchinson (Kan.) Municipal Airport. Under the arrangement, both FBOs will have access to Avfuel's training and operational systems and will offer Avfuel Contract Fuel and Avtrip loyalty rewards.
