Of the 10 new University of Louisville Board of Trustees named by Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin on June 29, four appointed were from Oldham County cities.
In emergency situations, the old cliché holds true, every second counts. In these dire situations, the average person might not know what to do. But one local public service is stepping up to educate Oldham County residents in key lifesaving techniques.
Although the Oldham County Fair will begin soon, the fair board is still working on raising funds for several changes to the fairgrounds.
A pastor was preaching on sin, and he wanted to check his congregation's understanding. So he asked, "Can anyone tell me what you must do before you can obtain forgiveness of sin?"
Dr. Angela Newcomb has been selected as the new principal of Oldham County High School, replacing Richard Graviss, who was recently named Director of Personnel for Oldham County Schools.

Forgive My Fins (Hardcover)
Lily Sanderson has a secret, and it's not that she has a huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast. Unrequited love is hard enough when you're a normal teenage girl, but when you're half human, half mermaid, like Lily, there's no such thing as a simple crush.
Lily's mermaid identity is a secret that can't get out, since she's not just any mermaid she's a Thalassinian princess. When Lily found out three years ago that her mother was actually a human, she finally realized why she didn't feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she's been living on land and going to Seaview High School ever since, hoping to find where she truly belongs. Sure, land has its problems like her obnoxious biker-boy neighbor, Quince Fletcher but it has that one major perk: Brody. The problem is, mermaids aren't really the casual dating type the instant they "bond," it's for life.
When Lily's attempt to win Brody's love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she is in for a tidal wave of relationship drama, and she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily ever after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.

By 1896, at the age of twenty-five, Alexander Zemlinsky was one of the rising stars in the Viennese musical firmament. His first opera had been written, he had won a number of awards, and he had earned the support of Johannes Brahms. In July of the same year he began writing his First String Quartet, a work of sweeping lyricism, rich dance patterns, and self-confidence, couched within the bounds of a relatively conventional palette. Seventeen years later he began his Second String Quartet. Kaleidoscopic in effect, mood, and technical demands, and redolent of the music of the new century—led by his brother-in-law Arnold Schoenberg—it was to place Zemlinsky securely in the European avant-garde.
"Zemlinsky is a nest of paradoxes: intense yet elusive, opulent but also sensitive and subtle, he can be difficult to grasp on first, or even second hearing. The Escher Quartet achieves a near-impossible balance, especially in the complex Quartet No. 2, clarifying its structure without betraying its fragile heart, while the Brahmsian First is a joyous surprise."
Recording of the Year
Critic's Choice
"...In every way the Escher impressed me as one of Naxos's best finds in their continual search for new talent..." - Huntley Dent
"... The Escher Quartet is clearly very comfortable in all of Zemlinsky's multiple voices and advocates powerfully for the chamber music of this unjustly neglected master of the string quartet... Naxos is to be congratulated for putting out this disc and for championing the music of Alexander Zemlinsky, whose quartets will hopefully reach a wider audience. Recommended."
José Luis Bermúdez - Classical Net - September 2014
The Strad Recommends
Classical CD of the Year
Recording of the Month
"After a first very successful disc with the last two Zemlinsky Quartets, the Escher String Quartet gives an impressive account of the two first quartets, the feverish second with its gripping atmospheres being the highlight of this superb CD." *****
Remy Franck - Pizzicato.lu - 28 August 2014
"... a performance that probes the depths and surges forwards with a sense of inevitability that, given what the century had in store, is 'authentic' in the truest possible sense."
Rob Cowen - Gramophone magazine - September 2014
Performance ***** Recording *****
"... this recording is a remendous achievement by any standards."
Erik Levi - BBC Music magazine - September 2014

I use the matplotlib basemap toolkit (
mpl_basemap.Basemap) to plot GeoTIFF images on a map background using
pcolor() or
pcolormesh(). For this purpose, I need to transform a meshgrid of x and y coordinates of the raster data into the coordinate system of the plot, for example polar stereographic. Currently, this is how I accomplish this:
- Create an
osr.SpatialReference()object and use it to grab the coordinates of the GeoTiff image via its
ImportFromWkt()method, called with the GeoTIFF's projection as an argument.
- Export this spatial reference to proj4 via
.ExportToProj4()and use it to create a
- Call this class instance with
inverse=Trueon a meshgrid of easting and northing values of the GeoTIFF image to create a lat/long meshgrid
- Call the Basemap class instance on this lat/long meshgrid to create a meshgrid in the Basemap object's coordinate system
Is there an easier way that doesn't proceed through a lat/long representation? If I could get a reference to the coordinate system of the Basemap instance, I could set up a coordinate transform directly between the GeoTIFF dataset and the map.

Kids' Diabetes Rates Up Dramatically in 8 Years
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
SATURDAY, May 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Rates of diabetes in U.S. children have jumped sharply in just eight years, according to new research.
The prevalence of type 1 diabetes increased 21 percent between 2001 and 2009. At the same time, rates of type 2 diabetes rose 30.5 percent, the study found.
These increases affected both boys and girls, and nearly all racial groups, the researchers noted.
The reasons behind the increases aren't entirely clear, said lead researcher Dr. Dana Dabelea, the associate dean for faculty at the Colorado School of Public Health in Aurora.
"While we do not completely understand the reasons for this increase, since the causes of type 1 diabetes are still unclear, it is likely that something has changed in our environment, both in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world, causing more youth to develop the disease, maybe at increasingly younger ages," she said.
Several reasons for the increase in type 2 diabetes are possible, Dabelea said. "Most likely is the obesity epidemic, but also the long-term effects of diabetes and obesity during pregnancy, which have also increased over time," she noted.
This report shows the increasingly important public health burden that pediatric diabetes represents, Dabelea pointed out. "It also highlights the facts that all racial/ethnic groups are affected by both major forms of diabetes," she said.
The report was scheduled to be published May 7 in the Journal of the American Medical Association to coincide with the May 3 presentation of the study findings at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, the hormone needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, the pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But over time, it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep blood sugar at normal levels.
For the study, Dabelea's team collected data on more than 3 million children and adolescents. When looking for type 1 diabetes, the researchers included people aged 19 years and younger. For type 2, the researchers limited the age range to 10 through 19 years. The incidence of type 2 in children younger than 10 was too low to provide statistically significant numbers, according to the report.

I have a Microsoft Surface device that crashes under a specific scenario. I'm a developer, and have filed a report with Microsoft. However, they are having trouble reproducing the issue. I'm wondering if anyone else out there, who owns a Surface, can reproduce the following crash:
- Reboot the Surface (make sure to be in landscape mode).
- From the Start Menu, open up the desktop - this is needed so that you can snap the application.
- Open up the Windows Mail Application and put it into "filled" mode, where it takes up 2/3 of the screen, and is side-by-side with the desktop.
- Create a new email message - this should bring up the soft keyboard.
- Rotate the screen into portrait mode to cause a resize. Rotate back to Landscape.
- Mail should crash, taking down the Windows GUI Shell. If it doesn't crash, try rotating the device a few times (landscape -> portrait -> landscape etc)
Edit: I should add that if your device crashes, you can "un-crash" it by logging out and logging back in. To do this press the Windows button and power button at the same time (or press ctrl-alt-del). You should then see options, one of which is log out.

(CBS/AP) Rescue workers sifted through tangled debris of toppled schools and homes Tuesday for thousands of victims buried or missing after China's worst earthquake in three decades, where the death toll soared to more than 12,000 people in the hardest-hit province alone.
As night fell the day after the powerful 7.9 magnitude quake tore through urban areas and mountain villages across central China, state media said rescue workers had reached the epicenter in Wenchuan county, north of the Sichuan provincial capital, Chengdu.
State television quoted He Biao, director of the emergency office of the Aba government, as saying initial reports from soldiers who had to hike in showed there may be only 2,300 survivors from a population of 9,000 in Yinxiu, one of the affected towns.
The roads and bridges to another town in Wenchuan were all destroyed by the earthquake, and up to 80 percent of the homes had collapsed. There was also no power in the county, he said.
The death toll figures were expected to jump sharply as rescuers worked their way through hard-hit towns at the epicenter.
CBS News reporter Celia Hatton in Beijing reported that China's communist leaders quickly vowed to launch an all-out recovery effort.
In a massive government relief operation, some 20,000 soldiers and police arrived in the disaster area with 30,000 more on the way by plane, train, truck and on foot, the Defense Ministry told Xinhua. Rescue experts in orange jumpsuits extricated bloody survivors on stretchers from demolished buildings.
"Survivors can hold on for some time. Now it's not time to give up," Wang Zhenyao, disaster relief division director at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, told reporters in Beijing.
Xinhua said more than 12,000 had died in Sichuan province alone, but difficulties in accessing some areas meant the total number of casualties remained uncertain. In counties around one city near the epicenter, 18,645 people were buried, the agency said.
More than two dozen British and American tourists who were thought to be panda-watching in the area also remained missing.
Aftershocks rattled the region for a second day, sending people running into the streets in Chengdu.
Zhou Chun, a 70-year-old retired mechanic, was leaving quake-hit Dujiangyan city with a soiled, light-blue blanket draped over his shoulders.
"My wife died in the quake. My house was destroyed," he said. "I am going to Chengdu, but I don't know where I'll live."
Zhou and other survivors were pulling luggage and clutching plastic bags of food amid a steady drizzle and the constant wail of ambulances.
Just east of the epicenter, 1,000 students and teachers were killed or missing at a collapsed high school in Beichuan county - a more than six-story building reduced to a pile of rubble about two meters high, according to Xinhua. The agency said up to 5,000 people were killed and 80 percent of the buildings had collapsed in Beichuan alone.
At another leveled school in Dujiangyan, 900 students were feared dead. As bodies of teenagers were carried out on doors used as makeshift stretchers, relatives lit incense and candles and also set off fireworks to ward away evil spirits.
Elsewhere in Gansu province, a 40-car freight train derailed in the quake that included 13 gasoline tankers was still burning Tuesday evening, Xinhua said.
Premier Wen Jiabao, who rushed to the area to oversee rescue efforts, said a push was on to clear roads and restore electricity as soon as possible. His visit to the disaster scene was prominently featured on state TV, a gesture meant to reassure people that the Communist Party was doing all it could.
"We will save the people," Wen said through a bullhorn to survivors as he toured the disaster scene, in footage shown on CCTV. "As long as the people are there, factories can be built into even better ones, and so can the towns and counties."
The Ministry of Health issued an appeal for blood donations to help the quake victims.
Fifteen missing British tourists were believed in the area at the time of the quake and were "out of reach," Xinhua reported.
They were likely visiting the Wolong Nature Reserve, home to more than 100 giant pandas, whose fate also was not known, Xinhua said, adding that 60 pandas at another breeding center in Chengdu were safe.
Another group of 12 Americans also on panda-watching tour sponsored by the U.S. office of the World Wildlife Fund remained out of contact Tuesday, said Tan Rui, WWF communications officer in China.
Two Chinese-Americans and a Thai tourist also were missing in Sichuan province, the agency said, citing tourism officials.
The disaster comes less than three months before the start of the Beijing Olympics. The tragedy is just the latest event to tarnish the run-up to the event meant to showcase China's rise that has been marked by internal strife and criticism abroad of Beijing's human rights record.
In light of the quake, Beijing Olympics organizers said the torch relay will be simplified, downscaled and begin with a minute of silence Wednesday when a leg kicks off in the southeastern city of Ruijin.
The more somber relay will likely last until the torch's previously planned trip to the quake-hit areas next month, organizing committee spokesman Sun Wiede said, and people along the route will be asked for donations to help disaster victims.
Expressions of sympathy and offers of help poured in from across the world, and Chinese President Hu Jintao discussed the disaster in a phone call with U.S. President George W. Bush, state TV reported.
The Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader who has been vilified by Chinese authorities who blame him for recent unrest in Tibet, offered prayers for the victims. The epicenter is just south of some Tibetan mountain areas that saw anti-government protests earlier this year.
The Chinese government said it would welcome outside aid. Russia was sending a plane with rescuers and supplies, the country's Interfax news agency reported.
But Wang, the disaster relief official, said international aid workers would not be allowed to travel to the affected area. While China has been slow at times to react to natural disasters, it usually has not lacked the manpower to eventually cope with them.
China's Ministry of Finance said it had allocated 860 million yuan (US$123 million; euro80 million) in aid for quake-hit areas.
The quake was China's deadliest since 1976, when 240,000 people were killed in the city of Tangshan, near Beijing in 1976. Financial analysts said the quake would have only a limited impact on the country's booming economy.
Seismologists said the quake was on a level the region sees once every 50 to 100 years. The last time the Indian land mass crashed the Tibetan highlands into the Sichuan plane with such ferocity was 1933, when a magnitude 7.5 quake killed more than 9,300 people. Monday's quake resulted from the pent-up stress since then, experts said.
"It's more an issue of how long and how much stress has been built up in this region," said Amy Vaughn of the U.S. Geological Survey.

A no-frill place with the best price we found in 3 weeks... The room was clean, bathroom adequate, breakfast reasonable, location excellent.

Professor Gingrich And The Lessons (And Lecture Notes) Of HistoryHistorians in the News
Newt Gingrich once called himself "the most seriously professorial politician since Woodrow Wilson."
But that was 1995, and the "Contract with America" co-author had just helped to propel Republicans into power in the House for the first time in 40 years, and Gingrich himself into the speaker's role. Even the rarely modest Gingrich had reason to gloat.
Just two years later, of course, he had become the first speaker ever punished by the House for ethics violations, and the end was in sight for both his leadership and congressional career.
Gingrich's troubles stemmed in part from his professorial work, a 1994 college course he had taught in Georgia....

I'm having a little problem and wonder if anyone can help me out.

- 1 3⁄8 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter

- Beat egg whites and honey together until stiff. Spread meringue over top of pie.

Delicious! I didn't do the meringue and used whole eggs to make the custard. It tasted so good : this is a recipe that I'll be coming back to!
What a nice little recipe! I skipped the meringue part and used whole eggs for the custard (added an extra tablespoon of flour). DH and DS were nuts for it--with their own caveats! DS says, "serve it cold, it tastes better." DH says, "serve it warm, it tastes better." So--YOU decide!!! I used probably 2 or 2 1/2 cups of rhubarb since it's in season right now, and we have LOTS! *ZWT 3 May 2007*
this is a really good pie

LAUDERDALE LAKES - An arrest report says a South Florida teenager is accused of stabbing a 62-year-old neighbor more than 60 times over $5.
The Broward Sheriff's Office released the report Tuesday saying the 16-year-old had entered Vibbins Williams' apartment Saturday night in Lauderdale Lakes and asked her for $5 so he could buy marijuana. Williams refused and told him to leave.
The police report says the teen then grabbed a knife from his pocket and stabbed her. He also stole $34 from her purse.
Williams was barely alive when she was discovered by her granddaughter. She was transported to a local hospital but pronounced dead on arrival.
The teen was charged with first-degree murder and taken to the juvenile assessment center. He's not being identified because of his age.

The BPTC is the compulsory course that all aspiring barristers must complete successfully prior to starting pupillage. The aim of the course, which can be studied either full- or part-time, is to bridge the gap between the academic study of law and the skills that are needed in practice.
Who can apply?
To be eligible for a place on the BPTC you should have either a qualifying law degree (2:2 minimum) or an undergraduate degree in any other subject (2:2 minimum) and a GDL. The Bar Standards Board (BSB) is introducing a compulsory aptitude test in autumn 2012 for candidates starting the BPTC in September 2013. This will test critical reasoning skills and must be passed before BPTC providers can offer places to students.
Increasing competition means that, statistically, applicants with 2:1 or first class degrees are more likely to secure a pupillage. A 2:2 will not prevent admission to the BPTC or pupillage, but it will help to compensate for it with strong A-level grades and/or postgraduate exam results.
A CV that can demonstrate your commitment to the profession, for example by completing mini-pupillages and any other form of law-related work experience, as well as extra curricular activities including public speaking/mooting and pro bono work, will also help.
Which BPTC course?
It is important that you find the course that suits your requirements. You should attend different providers' open days or evenings and speak to current and former students. Also, make sure you read all the available literature from the different providers before making a choice and contact them and ask questions when necessary.
How and when do you apply for the BPTC?
Applications for a place on a BPTC are made through the BSB's central applications system, called BPTC Online (see timeline on page 41). The application form itself needs careful attention. You will be asked to:
- provide details of mini-pupillages and other legal experience;
- explain why you want to be a barrister;
- provide examples of exceptional communication/interpersonal skills;
- provide examples of your ability to accurately analyse large volumes of written information;
- provide examples of how you cope with pressure;
- provide examples of how you have developed your advocacy skills since the age of 18 – you will not be able to rely on having once been an angel in an infant school nativity play.
Give yourself plenty of time to think about the content of the form and make sure you re-read it before submitting it because poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and typographical errors will make your application look weak and count against you.
How long does the BPTC take?
The course takes one year full-time, two years part-time or can be integrated as an extension to a qualifying law degree. Course length varies between providers and your chosen BPTC must be at least 30 weeks long, excluding holidays. If you choose a full-time BPTC, you can expect to do a full day's work every day of the working week.
What does the course cover?
The BPTC is designed to prepare you for pupillage and the early years of practice. The principal skills taught are: legal research, case management, drafting (for example, pleadings, witness statements etc), opinion-writing, conference skills (client interviewing), resolution of disputes out of court (for example, negotiation, mediation) and plenty of advocacy. The knowledge subjects taught are civil litigation and remedies, criminal litigation and sentencing, evidence and professional ethics. In addition, you must take two options – different providers offer different options, so make sure you know before you start the course that your chosen provider offers a range of options that you are happy to do.
Cost issues
Training as a barrister is very expensive as the BPTC can cost more than £16,000 with no guarantee of a job afterwards (see box above for details on fees). Also, do not forget that you will also need money for food, rent, transport and going out.
Thankfully, financial assistance is available from the Inns as well as from the BPTC providers. BPP Law School and Northumbria University offer awards of up to £5,000, while Kaplan Law School offers a 50 per cent fee reduction to its Master/Mistress of Moots scholars and a £2,000 reduction for an advocacy scholar. The City Law School also offers six scholarships, each worth £3,000. For more details, visit the individual law school websites.
If you are not fortunate enough to secure financial assistance from one of the Inns, your BPTC provider or, indeed, your family, then you may have to consider borrowing money to fund your studies. HSBC offers a loan product aimed specifically at BPTC students while BPP in conjunction with Investec offers a loan exclusively for its BPTC, GDL and LPC students.
As with all forms of debt, think carefully about whether or not you can afford to take out a loan, especially as there may be a delay between completing the BPTC and securing a pupillage or other form of employment. It may be worth thinking about taking on a temporary job to help you save up for the course fees, or completing the course part-time so you can combine it with paid work.
Editor's note: From September 2013 BPP Law School aims to offer 48 places on its BPTC course in Manchester. Fees will be £13,440 for UK students.

P.r.soup (Potato Rice Soup)
Total Time
Prep 3 mins
Cook 1 hr
A Dom Deluise recipe. This actually dates back to the Depression era. It's inexpensive, tasty and good for you. Make sure you use uncooked rice in this recipe. Serve with additional grated cheese. Note: I've read the reviews and adjusted the liquid.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup rice, uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 -4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
- Heat oil in a pot and saute garlic until golden brown.
- Add onion, potato, rice, broth, parsley, and 2 cups water.
- Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add more water if soup appears too thick.
- Stir in cheese and serve.
Most Helpful
I turned this into a vegan dish by using vegetable stock instead of chicken broth and by omitting the parmesan cheese. I used brown rice, also. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and my 5 children ate the entire pot! Even my baby girl, who just turned 1, ate 3 bowls of it. Will definitely make this again, especially on those nights my fridge and pantry are bare and I only have staples - as was the case tonight.
I made this on Saturday and planned to freeze half, but DARN, I ate it all by yesterday! Except for using parsley flakes because I didn't have fresh, I followed the recipe and it is so simple to make. My mom made a simpler version (just half-beef-half-chicken broth, potatoes, rice and dried minced onion). It warms the soul. I'm going to try this again using Arborio rice, but already I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you so much for posting and I'm honored to be the first to review it.
I tried it and this was AWESOME!! I used 2 c of water and 4 c of chix broth. I didn't have any fresh ingredients. So I added powdered onion and garlic. Parsley flakes and salt and pepper. I used brown rice and about 3 small potatoes. I also added 1 tblspn of olive oil. I didn't turn into a chowder for me, it stayed "soupy". DELISH. Thanks for posting!

Pin-worthy hair and best face make upReviewed on 8/23/2013 Laura S
What ever you can give Jen she can take it on. My hair was perfect and stayed that way all day and night. I did not want a simple style I could do myself like I see on so many other brides. I wanted something unforgettable and that's what I got, from color to advice on use of... Read More extensions hair to style. And while you are sitting there for a while you might as well spend that time with someone who is easy to get along with. This was also the first time my makeup brought out the green in my eyes and made me look illuminated for my wedding pictures and I didn't even know that the color combinations she chose would do that. Every hair detail from top to bottom, left to right was considered carefully and it showed in those pictures. My sisters also had their hair done as well as my nieces (ages 14 to 5); each style fit their personality and dress and they looked stunning! I am going back to this salon from now on for regular color and cuts. I'll also be booking Jen for the weddings I will be attending in the fall. I strongly recommend checking Suite 115 Salon out. They made this part of the wedding preparation process exciting and worth it.

Absolute Perfection!!Reviewed on 8/20/2013 Jennifer C
I highly recommend this salon for any future Brides out there! My hair artist was Jennifer, and my daughter used another excellent artist at the salon. Jennifer is incredible at being able to look at a picture and recreate or combine the look you like. I was going for a more... Read More simple up-do, but at the last minute, decided I needed a little more "elegant" added to the look. What Jennifer came up with was incredibly gorgeous, and far surpassed what I could have imagined I have very fine hair that has no volume to it. Since we were getting married outdoors, it was very important that the look she gave me, would stay - stay it did! It ended up raining during the reception, and my hair stayed perfect. Since we just had our children standing up with us during the ceremony, I brought my daughter with me for her to get her hair done as well. The style was gorgeous, and complimented my daughters personality to perfection - fun, flirty & classy. I was extremely pleased with the pricing as well - I would have paid double!!
Jen and her stylist worked their magic on our wedding party. Everyone looked great!
Suite 115 Salon & Spa is very professional and the owner did my hair for my wedding in December. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The only thing that caught me off guard was my air brushed makeup, it turned out beautifully but a little darker than I hoped for.... Read More I would recommend to use them for everything!!! Great prices for great work!
I used suite 115 just for makeup for my wedding. My entire bridal party and myself had our makeup by Corrine. She was OUTSTANDING. She did anything she could to help with our schedule for the day. Some girls did airbrush and some did regular and both ways turned out... Read More amazing. I highly recommend using this salon!
My entire bridal party got there hair done for my wedding. Everyone looked amazing and the girls loved there hair. We had 10 people total and everyone was done with time to spare. The salon was also a lot of fun and everyone who worked there was warm, enviting, and excited for... Read More my big day!!
I am very hard to please when it comes to my hair. I am always changing the color and style. I have been going to Suite 115 for a number of years now and always leave being pleased with my hair. Between Corrine and Jen (the owner) they have listen to what I like to try in new... Read More styles and always it the mark. My sister also used Suite 115 for her wedding. They go out of their way to make the day special in the morning at their salon and our updos turned out great. If you are looking for a great salon, I recommend Suite 115.
For my daughters wedding we used Suite 115. The bridal organizer Corrine was so on top of everything in making sure all the girls were scheduled for the morning. Suite 115 made the beggining of our day so special. Each of the girls hair along with their makesup turned out... Read More great with each girl so happy along with my daughter. I also had my hair and makeup done and was so happy to find Suite 115. Jen's place, the owner of Suite 115, is great start to anyone's special day.

My hair is thin/fine and Jen got my hair full of volume! It stayed full and up in place through lots and lots of dancing. I dont prefer too much makeup and Corinne listened and gave me a perfect makeover without feeling like makeup was caked on my face. Thank You so much suite 115! I will definitely be seeing you all soon for general up-keeping and future events!

Horrible is an understatementReviewed on 12/13/2014 Shannon R
I was super excited that I found this place with it being right down the road from our hotel venue. The trial went okay, and I had planned on having both my hair and makeup done. After I got home from the trial my face was orange from what ever product the makeup artist used.... Read More Each time someone saw the pictures of my trial their first comment was "oh my gosh, you look like an oompa loompa!!" Needless to say, I changed my mind and decided to do my own makeup. The morning of the wedding when my bridal party and I got there, I informed them that I would be doing my own makeup, to which the entire attitude of the people working with us changed. I didn't try to screw anyone by not calling before, and given that the trial was only 2 weeks before the wedding, I simply forgot to call before hand. Every single one of my bridesmaids with the exception of 2, myself included, had to redo our hair after the appt!! We spent money and time only to have to do it AGAIN back at the hotel!! Then on top of that, 3 of my girls and my mom didn't even get the hairstyle they wanted!! The woman doing my moms hair was unbelievable and shouldn't be allowed near any other human beings! My mom has a perm, and requested that her hair simply be pinned up in an undo. This woman decides to start ripping a brush through my moms hair and then gets frustrated and throws the brush to another stylist and says "good luck". What the hell kind of service is that?!?! My mom was in tears!!! They ended up straightening her perm and then curling it with a curling iron. WTF?!?! Every person I talk to about the wedding I've made sure to tell them about our hellish service. My maid of honor ended up redoing her makeup before the ceremony. SO if you want to end up spending a bunch of money only to have to go and redo the crappy hair and makeup yourself...go for it.
Wedding party hair and makeupReviewed on 12/12/2014
My bridal party and I loved getting our hair done at Suite 115! Most of my party had both hair and makeup done and were very happy with it. The stylists were very talented with the updo's and made sure the girls were satisfied, if they were not, the stylist fixed it so it was... Read More just how the bridesmaids liked it. Our experience was very relaxing, we never felt rushed or hurried. We were able to enjoy and celebrate the morning. We enjoyed refreshments as we were waiting. I look back at my wedding pictures and love how my hair and the bridesmaids hair turned out. The mothers of the bride and groom also got their hair done and were very happy with it. The hair piece I wore also came from Suite 115 and I got so many compliments on it. I continue to go to Suite 115 for my hair cuts and love it! Highly recommended!
Wonderful, Beautiful, and Affordable ServiceReviewed on 11/14/2014 Kathleen S
The girls at Suite 115 did the hair for my five bridesmaids, mother-in-law, mother, flower girl (1 year old), and me (bride) for my October wedding. The girls were absolutely fabulous; up-to-date on the current styles, willing to work with or without pictures, and created... Read More beautiful up-dos and short hair styles for everyone. The prices are affordable and they provide snacks and drinks for the morning as well as emergency kits for each bridesmaid. I would highly recommend Suite 115!
With me all the way!Reviewed on 10/28/2014 Despina C
Suite 115 is one of my favorite places to be so when it came to my wedding day the choice for my hair was obvious! Jennifer actually did my hair for every event of my wedding, my shower, bachlorette party, even a photo shoot I did for my wedding. She was with me all the way and... Read More everytime it was exactly what I asked for and more! I couldn't of been in better hands. They way the salon is set up for their wedding parties is the most welcoming, fun and friendly place you could think of! They had fruit bagels orange juice and champagne it was just adorable! You felt like you were right at home. The staff and other stylist were so friendly and took care of my bridesmaids and family and everyone looked gorgeous! If I ever have any other events it's not even a question as to where I am getting my hair done! Loved Suite 115 and it's very affordable!
Bridal Hair & MakeupReviewed on 10/28/2014 Sydney F
I chose this salon due to the location being near my church. After a trial run, I locked down the date with a $100 deposit. My mom, bridesmaids, reader & I came in and had a great morning getting ready. Everyone looked amazing & I was so pleased, especially with my airbrush... Read More make-up, lashes & updo!

Jen, Corrine, and the rest of her team are great! My bridal party and I went here for our hair and make up for my wedding in September and they were everything I hope for and more! Jen did my hair exactly how I imagined it and Corrine did my make up perfect so it looked natural.... Read More My bridesmaids were all happy with their hair and make up as well. Our hair and make up still looked good at the end of the night even after dancing for 5 hours straight!
Nothing less than PERFECTIONReviewed on 10/28/2014

Loved my hair and make up!Reviewed on 10/28/2014 Danielle G
I got my hair and make up done at Suite 115, and just loved it! Jen did my hair, and I wasn't really picky with it. My hair tends to fall flat very very fast. She was able to make it stay all day and night, through the pictures outside in the heat, and all the dancing all night... Read More long! I got my make up done by Corrine. She did such a great job! I hardly every wear make, so I wasn't looking for something to bold. She pulled it off, I was afraid that it would be to much, but it was just perfect and lasted all night! I am so glad that I choice here for my hair and make up! All the girls there are just wonderful!!
Wouldn't change a ThingReviewed on 10/28/2014 Tamara T
I cannot say enough good things about Suite 115. Jen (the owner) has been doing my hair and makeup for years so I knew that I could trust her with the most important day of my life and (as usual : ) ) I was right. I had a small bridal party so Jen was able to manage my hair and... Read More make up plus the bridesmaids on her own, however she made certain to analyze all the details well ahead of time to confirm who needed to participate from our timeline to what each person was looking for. Even going as far as having my sister, the maid of honor send her pictures and ideas for her hair and make up. Jen is punctual, professional and super flexible. She thought of things I didn't even realize could be a problem (like gently nudging me to NOT have my hair and make up done first as I had originally insisted in case I had any changes I wanted to make). I literally had people telling me I should quit my day job and start bridal modeling (and trust me, it's not because I was naturally blessed). In the past I've had some horrific hair/make up experiences and I can tell you with the utmost confidence, Suite 115 doesn't mess around. I've had the privilege of working with a few of their stylists as well and can say first hand they are excellent.
Love this place!Reviewed on 10/28/2014 Amanda B
Suite 115 did my hair and makeup along with 8 other bridesmaids for my wedding! Everyone was kind, professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend this salon.
Bridal hairReviewed on 10/28/2014 Noelle L
Being a picky girl and a nervous bride sure enough my wedding hair was top priority on my list. I was able to book a trial and work through my style with my hair stylist until we created my perfect day of look-that decreased a lot of the anxiety of the unknown. The day of was... Read More amazing , my stylist, the owner,Jen Sorrentino, was nothing short of amazing. She had personalized bride banners, food and drinks for my girls and myself. It was a perfect environment to unwind and enjoy the moments with my bridal party. I couldn't of been anymore happy with the results, I wanted a retro wave and she nailed it, looked amazing all night. Definitely recommend to the bride that wants it done right in a great environment :)

I got compliments all day as well as my bridal party. Our makeup and hair lasted pretty much until the next day! I would highly recommend Suite 115 Salon & Spa to any bride looking for a place that will give you all your moneys worth and then some. Thanks again!!

Americans Warned Not To Travel To Pakistan
The Department of State cautioned Americans not to travel to Pakistan.
Officials also ordered nonessential government personnel to leave the U.S. Consulate in Lahore.
The statement issued Thursday says the drawdown was due to "specific threats" concerning the consulate, which was scheduled to be closed for the Eid holiday from Thursday through Sunday. No reopening had been scheduled, a U.S. official told The Associated Press.
Earlier this week, 19 U.S. diplomatic outposts in 16 countries in the Middle East and Africa were closed through Saturday.
Also, nonessential personnel were evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen after U.S. officials said al-Qaida communications about plans for a terrorist attack had been intercepted.

Feds promise to speed action on Gulf drilling permits
Published: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 7:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 7:36 p.m.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will comply with a federal judge's order and decide later this month whether to approve a batch of deepwater drilling permits that have been stalled for months, even though the government may appeal the ruling, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said today.
At issue is U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman's Feb. 17 decision giving the government 30 days to decide whether to grant permits for five proposed drilling projects, in response to a challenge by Ensco, a drilling contractor whose rigs would be used for the work. On Tuesday, Feldman said the mid-February ruling also applied to two drilling applications submitted by Houston-based ATP Oil & Gas Corp.
"The judge in this particular case, in my view, is wrong, and we will argue the case," Salazar told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. "I don't believe the court has the jurisdiction to basically tell the Department of Interior what my administrative responsibilities are."
Salazar later told reporters he was "examining our options in terms of an appeal."
If they challenge Feldman's order, Obama administration officials would be fighting a potentially precedent-setting ruling that they say chips away at the Interior Department's authority.
But no matter what happens in court, the government will comply with the court order "and make a decision, up or down," on the permit applications within the time limit, said Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes.
Both Hayes and Salazar stressed that the court only compelled a decision — not necessarily a favorable one.
Oil and gas industry leaders and their allies in Congress have been complaining for months that the government is moving too slowly in ruling on proposed offshore drilling projects. Although the administration lifted its ban on some deep-water exploration in October, it was only Monday that regulators issued a permit for work that had been blocked by the moratorium.
Hayes stressed that since last year's oil spill, the department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement has approved dozens of offshore drilling projects that were never subject to the ban, including 37 permits for new shallow-water wells and four for new deep-water wells.
Administration officials also insisted that the final hurdle to deep-water drilling was only cleared recently, when the oil industry proved it had the equipment and know-how to control another runaway underwater well.
Two firms — Houston-based Helix Energy Solutions Group and the major oil companies' Marine Well Containment Company — have developed systems they say would capture oil from blown-out deep-water wells.
Salazar met with leaders of the two containment operations Friday in Houston and said that while he was impressed with the work so far, it isn't over.
"We' can't just basically say that given the oil spill containment capabilities that have been developed by these two systems that we are all the way there," Salazar said. "There is still additional work that needs to be done."
Salazar also set up a fight with oil industry leaders over how to pay for new engineers and equipment at the Interior Department bureau that oversees offshore drilling.
The administration has asked Congress to give $358 million to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement — a $119 million boost over what the agency got last year. Under the White House's budget plan, much of that funding would come from new fees on oil and gas companies that seek to drill offshore.
But industry leaders insist that the money instead should come out of the billions of dollars that oil and gas companies already send the federal government annually in royalties and bonus bids.
Salazar said the speed of deciding whether to approve those offshore projects hangs in the balance.
Asked when the government would begin processing permits as quickly as it did before last year's lethal blowout at BP's Macondo well, Salazar insisted that "so much of it depends on this budget."
"If we don't get the horsepower to be able to process permits under what is now a greater degree of scrutiny, we may never return to the pre-Macondo rate of permitting," Salazar said. "If we get resources and can move forward with the robustness of this agency, there is a lot of work to be done."
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, warned that the fees could discourage new production at a time when crude oil is hovering around $100 a barrel and unrest in the Middle East threatens to push prices higher. "Given the deeply troubling situations in Libya, Bahrain and Iraq, there is little, if any, patience for continued delay in bringing back our American energy production and the associated jobs," she said.
Salazar dismissed arguments that speeding up permits for oil and gas development — or increased domestic production — would bring down oil prices.
"We are doing what we can to stand up domestic production," Salazar told reporters. "What we can produce domestically will not have an impact in terms of the price of oil, because it is set on the world market."

Should we be calling this the January to remember?
In a three day span, Notre Dame received the news that Michael Floyd would be returning for his senior season, followed up by the additions of OLB Ishaq Williams on Friday and DE Aaron Lynch on Saturday to the 2011 recruiting class.
Recruiting along the defensive line has been a major challenge for Notre Dame in the past and the depth at this position became even greater late Monday night with the word that Chase Hounshell has switched his commitment from Florida to Notre Dame.
There is going to be plenty of critique, comment and celebration for the upcoming 2011 class that will be signing their scholarships in a couple weeks, so I will wait until the dust finally settles to get into the new freshman coming to Notre Dame.
As excited as many fans are with this amazing recruiting class and the amount of starters returning to the team, what about the other young players who will be looking to make their mark next season?
Make no mistake about it, returning starters and a highly acclaimed recruiting class are reasons to get excited about 2011, but having over a dozen young players ready to fill any possible voids left from the previous year is a very good sign for a rising program.
And that is exactly what Notre Dame has right now and this is a look at those players.
Some of the players have a little bit of game experience, while others have yet to step on the field. Some have played on offense or defense, while others have contributed strictly on special teams. There's a nice collection of players here, some that you will know and some that are a little less well known.
I will start with those who should make a smaller impact and work my way towards the young players who should be a critical part of the 2011 season.
Players will be designated by their class in the fall when the football season begins.
Decent Impact
Austin Collinsworth (WR, Sophomore)
Collinsworth was an interesting prospect coming out of high school because he played both ways and was a late signing and targeted specifically by Brian Kelly after the new coach was hired in South Bend.
No one was really sure where Collinsworth fit in as a freshman or if he would play at all, but he turned into a maniac on special teams.
He totaled seven tackles on the season as well as causing one fumble and laid a few big hits on special teams in the process.
Late in the season Collinsworth began lining up as a kick returner, but his only touch on the season came in the opening boot against Miami. He took the ball 34 yards near midfield to set up the game's first touchdown.
2011 Future: Although Collinsworth didn't play anywhere else but special teams as a freshman, his first year was very impressive. The question now becomes whether he will be able to crack into the receiver rotation and start catching some balls as a sophomore.
I think he's still a long shot to make the two-deep, but he should start getting some catches late in games. Collinsworth is a versatile athlete and is probably going to make a name for himself in any number of ways, including staying on special teams, or possibly moving to defense in the future if that is what the coaches want.
Dan Fox (LB, Junior RS)
Fox was a very good recruit out of Ohio who sat out his freshman year before seeing the field this past season in a limited capacity. He finished his sophomore year with a very respectable 20 tackles and generally played well when given the opportunity.
He has good size and athleticism which has allowed him to bounce around in position. If I am not mistaken, Fox is listed as an outside linebacker but did see most of his time in the middle playing late in games and more often after the injury to Carlo Calabrese.
2011 Future: The graduations of Brian Smith and Kerry Neal will help Fox's cause, but it remains to be seen how much playing time he'll receive next year. With Te'o holding down a starting middle linebacker spot, it may be tough for Fox to beat out Calabrese or McDonald for minutes, but he could slide his way into the two deep.
Any more minutes playing outside seem less likely with Fleming, Filer, and a couple other younger studs trying to force their way on to the field, so I'd look for Fox to have a similar role to this past season but with perhaps a small increase in playing time.
Kendall Moore (LB, Sophomore RS)
Moore was a very strong recruit coming out of North Carolina last year and has been praised numerous times by Brian Kelly for his skill and work ethic.
His sophomore campaign will be an interesting one to watch because he could be a huge surprise for the Irish, but he does have an uphill battle to climb for playing time.
Although he's one of the shorter linebackers, Moore brings a lot of bulk and toughness to the middle of the field. He might be the type of player that will be deployed more often against the power running teams like Michigan State and USC.
2011 Future: The odds are probably in favor of Moore easing his way into the lineup with some garbage time minutes, but he should be one of the young defenders to keep an eye on. Although the Irish have a superstar in Te'o, the other experienced middle linebackers might not have the overall athleticism that Moore possesses, so this could work in the sophomore's advantage.
Daniel Smith (WR, Sophomore)
Smith had one of those freshman seasons in which the coaching staff might regret wasting his year of eligibility. He played some on special teams, totaled one tackle and a fumble recovery, but never made it into the huddle as a receiver.
Smith is a really big receiver (6'4") and should be coming into next year close to or at 220 pounds. The word from the coaching staff is that Smith has good speed for his size and has some of the best set of hands on the team.
2011 Future: As Kelly and the players get more comfortable in this new system, we should see more receivers used throughout games. Smith will likely be stuck behind half a dozen receivers for playing time heading into the spring, and his 2011 minutes may depend on what the staff plans on doing with the two freshmen coming in at his position, but he could turn some heads and establish himself as a quality outside threat.
Danny Spond (LB, Sophomore)
Spond was a last-minute addition to the 2010 recruiting class and found himself getting some playing time as a true freshman this past season. Ditto the argument in regards to Daniel Smith with Spond, about not playing a whole lot as freshman, and never being able to get that year back.
He only tallied one tackle on the year, but the coaching staff has raved about his athleticism, smarts, and most importantly his technique. Certainly with those attributes Spond will be a candidate to have a breakout sophomore season.
2011 Future: The praise coming from the coaching staff is a definite indication that Spond has a bright future, but he is a little undersized as an outside linebacker and will find it hard to take minutes away from other guys. But if he keeps playing hard and showing the instincts that Kelly loves, he could be a solid role player next season.
Tyler Stockton (DT, Junior RS)
Stockton was a big-time recruit out of New Jersey but has yet to see any significant minutes (although he did register one sack this year) on the field through his first two years on campus, including suffering moderately serious injuries in each season.
Most analysts have a certain jumbo-sized Floridian taking over the back-up position at nose tackle or even starting in 2011, but don't discount Stockton to be heavily in the mix next season.
2011 Future: I've been a big believer that Stockton would be a difference maker at Notre Dame, but it hasn't materialized. Still, he has three full years left to make a mark and I like his chances to get quality minutes in 2011.
Justin Utupo (LB, Sophomore RS)
Utupo was another last minute addition to the 2010 recruiting class and was overlooked by many. He sat out this past year unable to pick up any playing time.
Other than his NCAA clearinghouse issue back in August during fall camp, Utupo has been all but invisible over the past five months.
With his massive size and athleticism, as well as his dominance as a prep senior in California, I don't expect Utupo to stay quiet much longer.
2011 Future: I think Utupo could be one of those players who sort of comes out of nowhere next year and causes fans to look back at his recruiting profile and say, "Wow this kid was one of the more highly decorated studs in high school and has totally flown under the radar."
The competition at outside linebacker is going to be fierce and Utupo still has to transition from the defensive line where he played in high school, but you can't teach size and Utupo is built perfectly for this style of defense. I expect some quality minutes at some point next season.
Strong Impact
Andrew Hendrix (QB, Sophomore RS)
Considered by ESPN to be possibly the biggest sleeper of the entire national 2010 class, Hendrix is still a bit of an unknown and undervalued prospect for Notre Dame. Consider it a testament to the strong Irish recruiting at quarterback in recent years that a top 15 prep quarterback could come to South Bend underrated.
Nevertheless, Hendrix fits the mold perfectly (Golson aside) for the Brian Kelly pass-first offense and has benefited from a season on the bench learning the ropes. If we are to believe the scouting reports and praise from the coaching staff (very good size, quick release, strong arm, good accuracy, sneaky good mobility), then Hendrix will most definitely make a strong bid for a lot of playing time next fall.
2011 Future: Hendrix may ultimately be too talented to be kept off the field much longer, but he still has his work cut out for him in competing with Crist and/or Rees. Still, he was dangerously close to joining the Florida Gators last year and Kelly was able to keep him in blue and gold (a good sign that Kelly really thought he could play very soon at Notre Dame).
Unless the coaching staff is blowing a lot of smoke in order to keep him on campus and provide quality depth at this position, I would believe Hendrix has decent odds to be on the two-deep by the 2011 season opener.
Bennett Jackson (WR, Sophomore)
Jackson was a track champion and speedy receiver out of New Jersey last year and just finished up a pretty impressive freshman season for someone who didn't play on offense.
Although not very big, Jackson is in the mold of former Irish great Rocket Ismail in that he's got devilish speed and was used in the kick return game as soon as he stepped on campus.
He might not have the Heisman-like talent that Ismail did, but Jackson was a very valuable part of special teams this year, and even showed a great deal of toughness for someone his size. He finished his freshman season with 10 tackles (a few beauties on kick coverage), 645 return yards, and a 20-yard scamper on a fake punt.
2011 Future: Jackson probably isn't going to start at receiver next year, but he'll be fighting for a two-deep spot and have the advantage of his speed working in his favor. There were some mentions that he needs work on his hands and catching ability, but he's probably going to be used occasionally next year to stretch the field vertically.
I would look for a decent amount of playing time for Jackson at wide receiver, in addition to his continuing special team's duties.
Kona Schwenke (DE, Sophomore)
Schwenke was kind of an after-thought in the recruiting process last year, as in: "Oh, we picked up another Hawaiian player, that's nice. He should get along with Te'o and Toma."
But he surprised the coaching staff with his physical maturity and was able to see the field in five games as a freshman and play pretty well while doing so. Schwenke has good size and a high motor with solid instincts, making himself one of Brian Kelly's first recruiting steals at Notre Dame.
2011 Future: He still has two upperclassmen ahead of him on the line that are starting and Schwenke will be fighting off the uber-talented incoming freshmen as well, but there should be a decent amount of playing time for him next season. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he bulks up to 270+ and plays in the middle of the line from time to time either, whenever Diaco throws out a four-man front or there is a short-yardage situation.
Alex Welch (TE, Sophomore RS)
After sitting out his freshman season, Welch now has the opportunity to step onto the field as a sophomore and make an impact.
He's the shortest tight end on the roster, but he should be yet another great pass-catching tight end for the Irish. Like most young players on the line, his amount of playing time will likely depend on how well he blocks.
2011 Future: As already mentioned, his minutes will depend on his blocking but also upon whether Mike Ragone is asked back for a fifth year. It is looking less and less likely that Ragone will return, which means Welch could be the second-string tight end and play quite a lot in 2011.
Big Impact
Louis Nix (DT, Sophomore RS)
Here is the big Floridian who has been dubbed the future at the nose tackle position for the Fighting Irish. Nix came to camp last year overweight at 350 pounds but has been working hard to get down to the preferred 300-310 playing weight per DC Bob Diaco.
Nix is still somewhat of a mystery as a prospect, but he was one of the elite defensive tackle recruits in the country last year and by the end of 2010 was receiving praise for his hard work and penchant for not allowing offensive linemen to block him.
Nix appears to have that Warren Sapp gene in that he's so large, yet so freakishly athletic at the same time. Needless to say, the Irish fan base is excited to see what this kid can do.
2011 Future: I think asking Nix to start from day one is a tall task, but if he can stay in shape and continue to improve he should see the field quite often next fall. A lot of his minutes may depend on how Cwynar plays in the middle, but Nix has the size and pedigree to possibly take over as the No. 1 guy sometime next season.
Cameron Roberson (RB, Sophomore)
With so many running backs on the roster at this point last year, Roberson really didn't get a lot of publicity and it was believed that he'd be more of a power running back in the mold of a fullback or H-back in college.
That was until Brian Kelly offered up enormous praise for Roberson on signing day.
Some think he'll be similar to Robert Hughes, but Roberson looks to be very similar to Jonas Gray with a nice blend of speed and power. The coaching staff has praised Roberson's quickness and agility, which is a very positive sign seeing as how he is already a 220 pound thick and well-built runner.
2011 Future: Due to the graduations of Armando Allen and Robert Hughes, there is an immediate opportunity for playing time. Roberson is likely to head into the season as the third string back, but he could push Jonas Gray for playing time and should see the field quite a bit with the heavy rotation system Brian Kelly likes to use.
Prince Shembo (LB, Sophomore)
Shembo was one of those recruits who many thought could see a little bit of playing time as a freshman, but no one could have expected the impact he would have in 2010.
He goes down as playing in every game, but Shembo didn't play as many minutes as most of the other regulars at linebacker. Still, he put up 15 total tackles, and an astonishing 4.5 sacks, to go along with a forced fumble in what amounts to very minimal playing time as a freshman.
Change those numbers to a fulltime starting spot at linebacker and Shembo would have racked up over 20 sacks as a freshman, which is simply ridiculous. Although he's listed as a middle linebacker, Shembo was often used on the outside as an edge rusher and was obviously very effective.
2011 Future: Shembo might be a tad too short for outside linebacker, but he seems to have the body, athleticism and edge-rushing ability to play there. He'll likely be used in a lot of passing situations next year, but he also has a chance to start, depending on where the coaches decide to keep him. He may be Darius Fleming's apprentice at the Dog linebacker position.
Lo Wood (CB, Sophomore)
Wood only tallied three tackles as a freshman, didn't play a whole lot and probably should have stayed on the sidelines if it was possible, but depth chart concerns forced him into playing time.
Now, Wood will have to step up perhaps like no other player on this list and be right on the cusp of starting and getting a lot of minutes behind veteran corners Gary Gray and Robert Blanton. He's a little undersized, but showed good toughness in his limited time on the field as a freshman.
2011 Future: It's all but guaranteed that Wood will be playing a lot next season, and if there is an injury ahead of him he will likely start. Unless one of the incoming freshmen blows the coaching staff away, Wood will be the third option at cornerback and have a big impact in 2011.
Who do you see stepping up big next year from the young players?
