Beyonce posts throwback photo of Jay-Z in celebration of 1 million records sold!
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
Beyoncé is down for her hubby Jay-Z!
The superstar wife posted this throwback photo of Jay-Z on Instagram with her new signature caption "Bow Down" underneath it. The photo marks quite an accomplishment. Her hubby's latest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail was released to the public, the rapper was presented with a platinum plaque for selling a million copies.Yes. You read that correctly!So this photo was a natch!
As you can see, Hov is rocking a cap and gown in this super cute school graduation photo, and Bey also wrote "Platinum #MagnaCarta" on the caption.
Because the Recording Industry Association of America changed the rules — thanks to Jay-Z, of course! — that digital album sales are now counted, Jay collected his platinum plaque without the album being out for even a week. It was an unprecedented deal with Samsung; a real feat for musicians.
The RIAA posted a photo of Executive VP of Communications Jonathan Lamy, Executive VP Mitch Glazer and Director of Communications for the Gold & Platinum Program Liz Kennedy presenting Jay with his plaque on their Facebook page, making this his 12th platinum album.
Billboard isn't changing their rules, though they say they still expect big numbers for Jay-Z's first week out. According to them, Jay will likely move 400,000 to 450,000 albums this week, which still will give Jay his No. 13th No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

Real Questions with... Bonnie McKee
Listen to Bonnie McKee on iHeartRadio
You may not know Bonnie McKee's name yet, but you definitely know her work. The accomplished singer/songwriter has writing credits on some of the biggest pop songs of the last few years: from Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" to Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" to Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" - those among the eight #1 singles she can say she had a part in.
In 2011 Rolling Stone named her "Best Secret Weapon," but now that the Seattle-born babe is stepping out on her own with pop single, "American Girl," the secret is out.
Of her upcoming album, Bonnie says, "It's very bright and flashy and colorful. I'm really into visual lyrics. I've been writing it over the past several years, so it's got a good vast scope of emotions where everything from feelings to experiences, heartbreaking and partying."
Bonnie McKee stopped by the iHeartRadio headquarters in NYC recently, where she opened up about everything from falling in love in a 7-11 parking lot (yep, a lyric inspired by true life), to how she and Katy Perry became friends to getting fired from Baskin Robbins for wearing short shorts.
Check out Real Questions with Bonnie McKee below.
You were raised by the television – what were you watching? Now what do you watch?
My earliest memories are of MTV. I feel like I learned so many social cues and life lessons from television and music videos... I love early MTV stuff with Madonna and Prince and Michael Jackson. I loved Full House. I loved Beverly Hills 90210.
Today I'm really into Mad Men. I love Game of Thrones, Dexter - I'm totally addicted. I've been, I've been on a Breaking Bad marathon, which is really a dark place for me. I love Honey Boo Boo; I feel like she is an American girl.
How can one fall in love in a 711 parking lot?
It's a true story actually. It's based on my adolescent experience in suburbia as a teenager. I remember being in a 7-11 parking lot in downtown Bellevue, Washington, and sitting on a skateboard with a boy and loitering and hoping someone would buy us beer. I feel like a lot of things happened in 7-11 parking lots.
Did anyone say no to being in your cameo-ridden music video?
I have some actor friends that want to stay away from reality stuff because the more you see actors outside of acting, the less you believe them on the screen, I guess. So, I had a few people say no, but for the most part everyone was really enthusiastic.
Were any of your big hits we're all familiar with written about your personal life?
Yeah, I think I always try to pull from personal experiences. "Teenage Dream" was one - I just thought back to my first time falling in love and what it was like to be an adolescent. There's a teenage theme throughout my music.
"Last Friday Night" was literally about Katy and I when we first met and going nuts, wilding out. We met when we were teenagers, when we were like 18, 19. We met at a thrift store actually in LA. We were both broke songwriters selling our clothes that nobody wanted to buy, so we bonded over being rejected at the thrift store. We've been friends ever since.
How old were you when you first kissed a boy?
Sixth grade, and we both had braces. Sparks were flying, literally. That was really dangerous. Not only did we both have braces, but we were both choir geeks.
Who is the weirdest person you have a crush on?
Howard Stern. I've always kind of had a thing for him.
It's no secret you have lots of celeb friends… who is the most famous person you have in your phone?
Probably Steven Tyler. That was a big moment for me. They called me because he was working on a new album... I figured none of my stuff would make it, but I just really wanted to meet him because I'm such a big fan. He was a childhood crush for me too.
We actually got together and he sang for me and I sang for him... we sang harmony together and he asked me to put my forehead against his, and he was like, "Can you feel that? Do you feel the energy?" I was like yes, yes Steven. I was shaking when I left there. So starstruck.
I'll invite him to every party I have just in case he might show up.
Do you feel like your solo debut is long overdue?
It was always my secret plan to be an artist. I really kind of accidentally fell into songwriting for other people. I started out as an artist when I moved to LA at 16, and I got dropped. Things didn't work out, so I started writing for other people out of necessity because I didn't have hot water, I didn't have a cell phone. I was broke and struggling and people were taking interest. So I had to take the opportunities that the universe were handing me and run with it.
What is the last illegal thing you did? When was it?
We shot a video, and I was hanging out the back of a car and had a cameraman on the hood of the car while we're driving. I think we actually got a pretty big ticket for that one.
Were you part of the popular crowd in high school? Why or why not?
I was somewhere in between because I was kind of a freak. I was a raver and I did a lot of drugs... I was trouble. So, the bad kids liked me, the good kids were kind of afraid of me... I feel like I kind of fit in everywhere. I'm kind of neutral. I'm an aquarius, so I get along with everyone.
Have you ever been fired?
Yes, yes. I've been fired from every job I ever had. I didn't have that many because I got started with music so early, but I worked at Baskin Robbins for like two weeks and I was fired because my shorts were too short. I mean nothing has changed obviously. Luckily they can't fire me from this job.
What's your biggest regret?
Probably hanging at Warner Brothers as long as I did. I was signed at 16, and i was there for a really long time. I was kind of being held hostage, but I felt like I was afraid to get dropped and I thought that would taint me and that I would be washed up before I even began, but it's kind of like a rite of passage. It's more like a badge of honor to be dropped.
What were you made fun of for as a kid?
They called me bubble butt, which today I'm celebrating.
What's the most unglamorous part of your day?
I hate warming up when I warm up my voice. I'm always embarrassed that my neighbor is going to hear me because I'm doing like ohhhhh, brrrrrr, and all kinds of embarassing horse sounds. That's probably something I wouldn't want the world to see.
What do you waste time on?
I watch a lot of TV. That's my time to veg out and sometimes it can be addicting. Like this Breaking Bad thing I've been on. I have to be careful with the television. It's like a drug. It really is.
Have you ever broken a heart?
Yes. I'm a heartbreaker. Singer, songwriter, heartbreaker is my Twitter line. That's my one-liner.
Have the critics ever made you cry?
No. I mean it's definitely hurt. It's never been critics, it's been more like the public criticizing. It's probably just a 15 year old in Milwaukee somewhere.
But it hurts to read some of the comments. There are overwhelmingly more positive than negative, but those negative ones are the ones that stick with you. I don't think they ever made me cry, but it definitely haunts me.
What is your favorite song you've ever written?
I'm pretty proud of "American Girl." I love "Teenage Dream." That has a special place in my heart.
Is your album finished?
Albums are never done. They're abandoned. That's a David Bowie quote, I can't take credit for that one. But that's how I feel: I'll never really be finished with it. I just have to choose to stop at some point. So, I'm going to keep writing up until the very last minute.

Did Lady Gaga team up with the muppets for a holiday special?
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga is reportedly teaming up with the Muppets for an upcoming holiday special.
According to "E! News," the pop star recently teamed up with the famed puppets to shoot the television event. The site reports that filming took place at Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City, the grade school that Gaga herself attended as a girl.
She supposedly performed "White Christmas" and Nat King Cole's "Orange Colored Sky" with the Muppets, as well as many of her own hits.
Gaga has been a fan of the Muppets for years. Early in her career, she wore a dress made of stuffed Kermit the Frog toys as a statement against fur. In 2009, Kermit hit the red carpet with Gaga as her date for the MTV Video Music Awards. The animation company formed by "Muppets" creator Jim Henson was even a partner in her stage looks for her 2010 "Monster Ball" tour.
The TV special is rumored to be airing on ABC at the end of the year.

UPDATED: 'Dead' Toddler Wakes Up at Own Funeral
UPDATED: The toddler who "woke up" at her own funeral has been confirmed dead and was laid to rest yesterday. The girl was returned home after the funeral and remained in a coma until her death was confirmed Monday.
Read the full story from Newser
(NEWSER) – Mourners at a funeral yesterday for a 3-year-old Filipino girl received quite a shock when the toddler suddenly started to move during church services, reports the Philippine Star. According to the local police chief, who sent dispatchers to verify the incident, funeral attendees in the province of Aurora said a neighbor opened the coffin cover to arrange the girl's body for the services and saw her head move. Stunned mourners look on in disbelief in this YouTube video said to be taken at the funeral as someone gently lifts the toddler out of the wooden coffin, bundles her up, and scurries out of frame. The girl was reportedly given water and immediately rushed to a nearby clinic after a pulse confirmed she was alive.

It's been a 4 or 5 year, well-deserved media and hater onslaught, and Ohio State's two National Championship losses sit at the center of the 'contraversy'. That doesn't mean the negative press hasn't taken it a little bit too far from time to time. The BigTen has been down by nearly everyone's standards, but the conference planted their spikes and took a huge step forward last season with their first winning Bowl record since 2002. The BigTen is back. There's no denying it.
Iowa dismantled Georgia Tech's offense in the Orange Bowl; holding them to 152 total yards. That was 76 yards less than the Jackets second lowest output(228@Miami,Fla).
The Hawkeyes return 8 starters on defense including four All-BigTen defensive lineman. Among them is First Team All-American candidate Adrian Clayborn. Clayborn, Karl 'the Plug' Klug, Christian Ballard, and Broderick 'dump-you-in-the-trash' Binns comprise one of(if not) the best defensive line(s) in the entire country. Iowa and Florida have the best DL's in college football in 2010. Iowa only allowed one team to rush for 200 yards in 2009(OSU/229), and they ranked first in the conference in pass-defense.
If the line wasn't disruptive enough - they have 2 of the best safeties in division-1. SS Tyler Sash and FS Brent Greenwood are head-hunters with coverage skills.
The OL is rebuilding, but Kirk Ferentz always seems to put together a solid front. Sr. Qb Ricky Stanzi has 22 starts(19 wins), and a solid group of running backs. So. Brandon Wegher may not play this season due to off-the-field issues, but Adam Robinson and Jewel Hampton give the Hawkeyes two quality options in the backfield.
Iowa finished 2009 at 11-2, and returns 14 starters - including nearly all of their statistical leaders.
The Wisconsin Badgers had a field-day against the Miami Hurricanes in the Champ Sports Bowl. The Badgers put up 430 yards of offense - which was the second highest total that Miami surrendered all year. The scoreboard showed just 20-14, but in the trenches the game looked like a mismatch.
Wisconsin could have the best offensive-line in all of college football. They paved the way for over 200 rush yards per game and gave quarterback Scott Tolzein all the time in the world to complete 65% of his passes. Tackle-to-tackle the Bah-jers offensive-line averages a fit 6'6" 323, and has exactly 100 career starts in the two-deep.
Wisconsin has 16 returning starters(10 on offense). Tailback John Clay(6'1" 250) was the BigTen Offensive Player of the Year in 2009, and is essentially the wrecking ball behind the John Deere tractor that is the Badger offensive line.
Wisconsin's schedule is favorable. Look for the Badgers to improve upon last years 10-win total, and to be a tough match-up for any team in a bowl game. Many of the naysayers are pointing to the defensive-line. It's obvious that they haven't paid much attention to the absolute physical freak that is defensive-end J.J. Watt(6'6" 290). Two years from now that guy will be standing behind the podium with a gigantic signing bonus. Watt is as good as the more highly publicized DE's in the BigTen(Clayborn, Heyward, Kerrigan).
Ohio State temporarily shook the monkey by beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl 26-17.
The Buckeyes are ranked #2 in the pre-season AP poll because of the way they finished the 2009 season, and because of the talent they have returning on both sides of the ball.
The Buckeyes went 11-2 dropping a game in week 2 against USC(15-18), and then turning-over their way to a loss against Purdue in Lafayette 18-26. They won their last 6 ball-games by hunkering down behind a monster offensive-line.
Terrelle Pryor wasn't asked to do too much down that stretch, but his confidence and his decision-making looked much improved. After being responsible for 4 turnovers against the Boilermakers - Pryor turned the ball over just three times in the final six games. From a scouting standpoint; his footwork, his delivery, and his ball security improved drastically toward the end of last season. The Rose Bowl performance could be less of a one-hit wonder, and more of a remix in 2010. Terrelle has looked like a different quarterback in every scrimmage and drill this off-season. He has matured physically and mentally. 'The Kid' is no longer a kid, and he's also a legitimate Heisman Candidate.
Pat Fitzgerald will be the next 'big-thing' in coaching. He's assembled a band of over-looked recruits, and turned them into a team that competes in a bowl game against the standard for passing the 'eye-test':Auburn. Physically, one wouldn't expect Northwestern to be able to compete with a team like Auburn, but Fitzgerald's band of smart but feral cats are dangerous and feisty. Pat has a connection with the players, and his pride and enthusiasm for his program may be unmatched. It might not be the most popular thing to say, and I know that Auburn wasn't the best team in the SEC, but to me Northwestern was cleary the better football team in the Outback Bowl. Mike Kafka's five interceptions, and a couple of ill-timed penalties(only had three, but all of them came late) cost the Cats and the BigTen another victory.
Fitzgerald has taken to coaching like a whore in Amsterdam. The Wildcat offense is unpredictable, and quick. The former Northwestern middle-linebacker consistently fields a tough defense. Northwestern held Iowa to 65 yards rushing, and four other opponents to less than 100.
Northwestern finished the season 8-5 and should continue to improve this season. They break in a new quarterback, but he has experience. Dan Persa could be a breakout player in 2010 because of his accuracy, and his ability to run the ball. Persa can easily outrun the average division-1 linebacker. I'd like to see this team play a tougher schedule. 10 wins is within reach.
There's no clear cellar-dwellar like you'll find in many other BCS conferences. Illinois, Minnesota, and Indiana will all vie for that dubious position this fall.
Rich Rodriguez is on the hot-seat in Ann Arbor. I think he needs either 8 wins, or 7 wins and a win against Ohio State to keep his job. The good news(for BigTen fans) is that Michigan will be much improved in 2010. This is the best O-line in RIch-Rod's tenure, and expect the defensive line to improve as well.
DL Mike Martin is one of the strongest players in the country. His strength at the point of attack often requires a double-team, and even then he's a handful.
Rodriguez will need to improve upon a last place conference finish in rush-defense. The Wolverines are too talented on the d-line to continue with that trend. A coach known for his offensive prowess will rely on improvement defensively if he wants to stay in town.
It will take time for Penn State's rebuilt offense to gel. Joe Paterno may have to stick around for at least another year if he wants to go out with a 10-win season. Penn State will field a strong defense despite the losses of O'Drick and a host of star linebackers. After all, it's still linebacker-U.
The Big Ten has three teams deservedly ranked in the top 15 in the pre-season AP poll. I wouldn't hold my breath if you're waiting for some of those teams to fall by the wayside. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio State could actually be underrated. In my opinion, you can take those three and put them with Nebraska, Florida, and Alabama(in any order), and you have a pretty strong/realistic top 6. I guess you can throw Boise in there if the Broncos take care of business against VaTech and Oregon State, but I'm not sold on the Blue-Man-Group just yet.
The BigTen is not a one team conference. There are three legitimate title contenders in there, and a solid nucleus of other potential top 25 teams(PSU, NW, MSU,Mich).
Be careful not to make too many early assumptions in 2010. Minnesota will struggle against a favored and under-rated MTSU team in the opener, and I don't think that Penn State stands much of a chance at Alabama in week 2. I have the Nittany Lions finishing 4rth or 5th in the BigTen pending on Michigan's improvement, and Minnesota is rebuilding.
I'm not sure who wins this conference in 2010(predictions below), but the top three teams are capable of beating any team in the country, and the middle-tier is as strong as it has been in years.
Predictions: 11.Indiana - great offense, god-awful D 10.Minnesota - see above 9.Illinois - the illini just have more talent on the roster than the previous two 8.Purdue - lots of questions on offense, but the addition of Marve helps - the d should be pretty good 7.Michigan State - lots of talent at WR and QB, but both lines need to improve - they have the athletes to compete week-in week-out 6.Northwestern - a technique sound football team with a great coach - the new Qb is a defensive coordinators' nightmare 5.Penn State - qb questions, rebuilt OL, good D, great Rb 4.Michigan - will improve in all areas, but those first two games are still tough(UConn and @ND) 3.Iowa - Big upgrade from #4 to #3. Iowa's D is definitely elite caliber. Very, very stingy. 2.Wisconsin - under-rated defense and perhaps the best OL in the country 1.Ohio State - great OL, talented qb, and strong D
Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Candidates: 5.Kirk Cousins - Qb Michigan State 4.Tandon Doss -Wr Indiana 3.Evan Royster - Rb Penn State 2.John Clay - Rb Wisconsin 1.Terrelle Pryor - Qb Ohio State
Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Candidates: 5tie. Ross Homan Lb Ohio State, Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue 4.J.J. Watt - DL Wisconsin 3.Cameron Heyward - DE Ohio State 2.Adrian Clayborn - DE Iowa 1.Greg Jones - Lb Michigan State

Nathan Williams was injured in the Ohio State scrimmage over the weekend. For OSU, an injury to a starting defensive lineman is like a kick to the jewels.
Ohio State lost most of their DL rotation from last season. DT Doug Worthington, DT Todd Denlinger, DE's Robert Rose, Thadeous Gibson, and Lawrence Wilson; are all gone.
Initially, there wasn't much concern amongst Buckeye fans because of All-American candidate Cameron Heyward's decision to return for his senior season. His counterpart Nathan Williams is a high-motor sack artist.
Williams is a 6'4" 255 DE that can move. He ran the 100m for his HS track team. Williams is about as talented a new DL starter as you'll find anywhere in the country. If there is one that would compare - it's OSU's new starter at DT, John Simon.
Simon is only 6'2" 270, but he's another high-motor guy. Simon might be the strongest Buckeye since Mike Kudla(565 Bench). It is truly a rare occurrence to see someone as strong and as big as Simon running sideline to sideline with such speed and tenacity. Vegas odds on John Simon hurting someone this season are 1:5, and I'm laying that bet. John might be the hardest working guy in the biz. You better latch onto the guy if you take him down because this guy is going to get back up running at a thousand miles-an-hour, and make the play from the backside. This is a mean, nasty, hard-working DT. Johnny Simon will be a superstar before he leaves Ohio State - write that down with confidence.
The other starter at DT will be Dexter Larimore. Larimore(6'2" 305) would have seen as much time as Worthington and Denlinger last season, but his contribution fell because of an early season knee sprain - the same injury suffered by Williams on Saturday.
Ohio State fans know that the four slated starters make-up one of the best starting DL's in the entire country. The problem with this years DL; there is no depth. Right now, it appears as if the second unit could feature a junior(who has barely seen the field), a true freshman, and two redshirt freshman.
Now, let's not act like Ohio State doesn't recruit well. These young guys have talent, but they don't have any experience at the college level.
In through the door walks 'Big Hank' - wait, he didn't fit.
Johnathon Hankins is 6'3" 335. Hankins' is OSU's young Terrance Cody. He's what the fans have been crying for; a huge defensive tackle with fast reflexes, and quick feet. Originally, the fans and coaches may have expected 'Big Hank' to redshirt. Maybe it's the fact that they don't want to move Heyward down, maybe it's the fact that DT Garrett Goebel isn't looking any better than he did last year, or maybe it's the fact that size in the middle is a concern, but Big Hank's stock is rising quickly.
A month ago the depth chart would have shown rFr. Adam Bellamy(6'4" 300) and Garrett Goebel(6'2" 280) as the back-ups at DT. Right now, it appears as if 'Big Hank' could break into a second-string role - perhaps at the expense of Goebel. Size at the point of attack becomes an even bigger issue when your starting MLB is 5'10" 225.
There are other concerns.
Once upon a time in Columbus; DE was thought to be a land of riches. Ohio State didn't just lose Rose, Gibson, and Wilson. Highly touted DE recruit Jamel Turner was shot twice over the summer. He may never play football again. Georgia Sophmore DE Keith Wells transferred due to a lack of playing time - little did he know. In the past, Ohio State would just move Heyward down to tackle, but with depth issues at DE, Ohio State may be less likely to entertain that option this season.
So. DE Solomon Thomas could get the start against Marshall if Williams is unable to go in the opener.
Cleveland Glenville product Jonathon Newsome will play some at the Leo position. Leo is a hybrid DE position that can place the DE in a 3-point stance, but is usually reserved for 2-point. Newsome is an undersized DE(6'2" 215) that OSU may be looking at moving to OLB.
THe fact remains that Nathan Williams is clearly the number one weakside DE, and no other player will offer the same athleticism for his size.
Ohio State fans can only hope that Williams will be ready to go against the Hurricanes on September 11th. The Buckeyes could be in some trouble if Williams is out in that game. He's probably Ohio State's best pass rusher, and the loss would allow Jacory Harris more time in the pocket to hit his talented receivers.
Redshirt freshman DE Melvin Fellows(6'6" 260) will see loads of time this season. He might have seen time as a true frosh if not for an injury. Fellows has an amazing wingspan, and made huge strides in the weight-room this off-season. Barring injury, Fellows and Thomas will see time in every game this season.
We won't know how good this defense will be until we see how some of these young guys perform. The starters are fantastic, but in football you need depth to overcome injury and fatigue.
The Ohio State opener is less than three weeks away.
Not many teams have as much media coverage as Ohio State. Finding new information can be tedious. Now, we've had enough practices to build upon our pre-season speculations. We are finally starting to see what this team might look like against Marshall.
Most of the starters had been penciled-in before the start of camp. There won't be too many surprises with 15 returning starters back.
Here's some things we've seen in camp:
Mike Adams is stepping-up, and has taken a lead on Andy Miller for the starting LT spot. Adams looks good. He's in good shape. Talent has never been the issue. He's 6'7" 308, and he moves great for a big man. I think we're finally going to see the #1 OL recruit that we were expecting two years ago. Adams has received a lot of negative press. He looks determined to regain his form, and his spot in the starting line-up. Adams has first-team BigTen potential if he plays hard and stays healthy. The road-grater is back.
Etienne Sabino is going to have his hands full with Andrew Sweat. Nobody was mentioning Sweat when talking about the new starting OLB, but the Pennsylvania native is a hard-working, viable option. Sweat saw more time at OLB in '09 than Sabino. Etienne(6'4" 240) was a monster on special teams, but Sweat(6'2" 236) has more experience. Sabino has more raw talent, but Sweat is an extremely smart and coachable player. The open OLB spot is more of a question-mark than the LT spot at this early point in camp.
Jaamal Berry is electric. Saine has top-end speed and more power than you would expect. Herron has great vision, and good quickness. Berry has the 'it' factor. He's explosive. He's shifty. He's slippery. He's impossible to tackle one-on-one in space. Jaamal Berry will play early and often. There is a pecking order so-to-speak with Saine and Herron back. My thought is that Berry gets some early action, and ends up getting nearly as many carries as Herron towards the end of the season because of his production. I expect Berry to get about 70-80 carries this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he turned them into 400+ yards. Those carries will likely come at Herron's expense. Look for Saine and Berry to be the opening day kick-off returnmen.
I don't think Carlos Hyde will get too many carries this season. He'll get some mop-up duty, and some short-yardage carries. I would be surprised to see him top 150 yards for the season. It will be hard for the freshman to get much action with Hall and Herron already losing carries to the upstart Berry.
OLB isn't the only position where the fans jumped the gun. The speculation was Orhian Johnson, Jermale Hines, and Tyler Moeller at the safety and nickle spots.. RIght now, Hines and Johnson are virtual locks.. CJ Barnett, Jamie Wood, Nate Oliver, and in particular Senior Aaron Gant want something to say about that Nickle spot. At this point, I would say that Gant and Moeller are a dead-heat for the Star/Nickle spot. Orhian Johnson is the man at Free right now, but we were saying that about Nick Patterson a couple years ago. Orhian will likely start, but he's only a couple of blown coverages from giving one of those other guys a serious look. On the other side of the coin, athletically, Orhian Johnson is as gifted a safety as we've had in sometime. OJ is rangy and fast. Moeller is obviously a fan-favorite. We just don't know at this point if he will be the first DB off the bench in nickle situations. Let us not forget that Moeller has never been a full-time starter. He's coming off of an emotional injury, as well as a physical one.
John Simon is the kind of guy that you love and hate at practice. You love him because of his effort, but you hate him because he smacks you in the mouth on every play. To this point, Simon is consistently pushing the offensive linemen into the backfield, and he's doing it with some extremely bad intentions. Boren may be the only guy that can stand Simon up at the point of attack. Let's just hope the guy doesn't hurt anybody on the offense before the opener.
All the fans want to hear about the freshmen. David Durham looks like a young Bobby Carpenter both on the field and in person. Ty Williams is definately a freak at 6'6" 210, but he has some major hurdles to overcome with his route running, and his grasp of the system. The true frosh that stands the best chance at playing could be Corey Brown(philly brown as the players refer to him). Brown is extremely fast. Let's just say he basically replaces Lamaar Thomas, and has more upside as he's a little bigger/stronger than the departed flash. Corey Brown and Carlos Hyde may be the only two frosh to see significant playing time in 2010. The wildcard is David Durham. He's shown far more athleticism than his recruiting ranking suggested.
All the young receivers(Williams, Jackson, Brown, Louis) are taking a back seat to Seniors Grant Schwartz and Taurian Washington. Swartz, Washington, and rFr. Chris Fields are all vying for the third receiver spot. Washington is running with the one's in most of the three-receiver sets at this point, but Schwartz and Fields are getting reps too. I expect Washington to secure this spot with his knowledge of the system and his physical attributes. He's worked on his hands. I think Fields and Schwartz will get some reps if Taurian drops some early passes.
Some other players to watch out for are Melvin Fellows, Garret Goebel, and Adam Bellamy. Bellamy and Goebel are locks for the 2nd string DT spots(Hankins will RS). Fellows is a lock for the first DE behind starters Heyward and Williams. All of those players could get increased time just by performing well early. You have to give the line some breathers. Goebel, Bellamy, and Fellows will be the players that provide that.
so here's your depth chart 10 days into camp....(if I use lower-case a and b it means we have a dead-heat)

Ask a die-hard Ohio State fan. Most of us expected Pryor to redshirt. Nobody expected Todd Boeckman to continue his turnover barrage. Pryor's last 10 starts in '08 came as a surprise, to the fans, and probably to Jim Tressel. In hind-site, it's the best thing that could have happened.
The thought of a dual-threat quarterback, and one with unbelievable raw talent(not like Greg Bellasari mind you - no offense Greg), appealed to the senses of Buckeye fans. 'Three yards and a cloud of dust' may have been the reputation, the history, but we didn't necessarily want it to be the future. Watching a Qb chunk-off ten yards at-a-time, shaking-off 300 pound defensive linemen, was something new, something exciting, but it didn't take long for us to realize that he had to pass the ball for the offense to be effective, especially against the Nations elite.To read more or comment...
It's moving day for The Ohio State football team. Players have arrived at their 'secret' location(not really/just up from the WHAC), and started moving-in their TV's, PS3's, and mini-refridgerators. Word on the street is that nearly everyone is at camp except Nic Dillilo, Rod Smith, and Jermil Martin.
Indications from Tressel and other sources make it appear as if freshman Rod Smith is waiting for his summer grades to go through. There seems to be a tempered optimism about Smith arriving at camp within the week. Rb Jermil Martin will be transferring, some have speculated to Tressel's old stomping grounds at Youngstown State, but as of yet, I have heard nothing official on where Martin will be taking classes. Nic Dillilo, three-deep at TE, is also a likely transfer candidate. He is not at camp, and will not be according to many sources.To read more or comment...

The sanitizer UV light is triggered when closing the plastic travel case and work works well. However, over time the travel case connection wears and does not trigger the UV light to go on.

This one replaced my old sanitizer which died after 14 years. Great Item. Makes me feel at ease about germs on my toothbrush. Great place to keep toothbrush when traveling and at home. Required 2 AA batteries and they should be removed when not traveling unless you keep it in your bathroom and use it regularly.

Great Idea for Travel
By Vacation Annie
from Portland, OR
I read all the reviews for this product on this and other websites before purchase. Overall, the reviews indicate this will function for a long time if it is used only on vacation trips and not every day. I have never used one of these before, but have long thought about purchasing it since I'm always concerned about my toothbrush being unsanitary when I travel. Used it once as a test prior to upcoming vacation and it seems to be functioning exactly as it is supposed to. I feel a lot better about using my toothbrush after it's been stored in my luggage now.

State Of emergency in San Diego County as wildfires rage
(San Diego, CA) -- More than a half-dozen wildfires are burning in San Diego County, and California Governor Jerry Brown is declaring a state of emergency.
Luckily, calmer winds are aiding firefighters in northern San Diego County today as they battle several raging wildfires. Supervisor Bill Horn says military helicopters are taking to the air to fight the flames. Cal fire's Nick Schhuler says his crews are working hard to protect structures. The Cocos fire in San Marcos is at 800 acres with just five percent containment, and evacuations are in place for an area including Cal State San Marcos. The Poinsettia fire in Carlsbad is 60 percent contained and is no longer threatening homes. It has destroyed or damaged about two-dozen homes and knocked down power lines. Fires in the North County region have scorched more than 9,000 acres.

US Sends More Troops to Iraq
Listen to 24/7 News: The Latest on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Another 130 Marines and special operations forces have been sent to Iraq to help rescue tens of thousands of Yazidi refugees still trapped on a mountain, but this "is not a combat boots on the ground kind of operation," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says. Speaking at California's Camp Pendleton, he described the extra American troops now in the northern city of Irbil as "assessment team members" who will assist the effort to help members of the Yazidi minority threatened by Islamic State extremists. A helicopter bringing supplies to people trapped on Mount Sinjar crashed yesterday after too many refugees climbed on board. More:
- As the plight of the refugees becomes increasingly desperate, American officials say a ground force may be necessary to get the refugees off the mountain, the New York Times reports. John Kerry says the 130 advisers will be tasked with finding a safe way out. "We will make a very rapid and critical assessment because we understand it is urgent to try to move those people off the mountain," he told reporters today.
- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, appears to have given up on trying to cling to power at any cost, theNew York Times notes. He has told troops deployed in Baghdad not to intervene in the crisis—and officials say the military has told Maliki he no longer has their support. Insiders say discussions on Maliki stepping down are now focused on immunity from prosecution. New Iraqi President Fouad Massoum has chosen deputy parliament speaker Haider al-Ibadi as Maliki's replacement.

Report: Kelly Rowland & Paulina Rubio to join 'X Factor'
Listen to Kelly Rowland on iHeartRadio | Listen to Paulina Rubio on iHeartRadio
While Kelly Rowland may be sharing a little Beyoncé-envy in her new song "Dirty Laundry," she appears to still have "The X Factor." Having served as a judge on the UK version of the singing competition, the Destiny's Child singer is said to be in final negotiations to join the show's U.S. counterpart next season, along with Latin pop star Paulina Rubio.
Sources tell TMZ.com the deals should be in place this week. Rowland and Rubio would be filling the "X Factor" panel seats left vacant by Britney Spears and L.A. Reid earlier this year, joining "X Factor" producer and judge Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato on the show's third season in September.
Fox recently announced that Mario Lopez would be back to host the show. Lopez co-hosted the live episodes of "The X Factor" with Khloe Kardashian last season but Khloe will not be back for the third season.

Take Charge of the Way You Work
Maximizing Productivity of a Decentralized, Data-saturated Workforce
For example, Professor Malone predicted, in an article published in 1987, many of the major developments in electronic business over the following 25 years: electronic buying and selling, electronic markets for many kinds of products, outsourcing of non-core functions in a firm, and the use of intelligent agents for commerce. Then, in 2004, Professor Malone summarized two decades of his groundbreaking research in his critically acclaimed book, The Future of Work (also translated into six other languages).
Professor Malone has published over 100 articles, research papers, and book chapters, including a widely cited 2010 article in Science magazine on measuring the collective intelligence of human groups. He is also an inventor with 11 patents and the co-editor of three books: Coordination Theory and Collaboration Technology (2001), Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century (2003), and Organizing Business Knowledge: The MIT Process Handbook (2003). In 2012, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Zurich.
Malone has been a cofounder of three software companies and has consulted and served as a board member for a number of other organizations. He speaks frequently for business audiences around the world and has been quoted in numerous publications such as the New York Times, the Economist, and Wired. Before joining the MIT faculty in 1983, Malone was a research scientist at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). His background also includes a B.A. in mathematical sciences from Rice University, an M.S. in engineering-economic systems from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. in cognitive and social psychology from Stanford University.
The future of work is already being shaped by today's trends. One powerful force is the rampant growth of business information. Even in this digital age, much of this information still exists as paper. This largely unstructured data stays locked outside your existing processes and systems.
Increasingly decentralized teams struggle to bridge the information gaps and silos that hinder productivity, customer service and business success. As we enter the age of "hyperspecialization," knowledge workers depend on information that can be transported anywhere in the world nearly instantaneously and at almost no cost.
Process Strategies for Decentralized Organizations
MIT professor, critically acclaimed author and organizational visionary, Thomas Malone, takes a look at process strategies for today's decentralized workforce. For almost three decades, Malone has been researching the enormous impact of information technology on organizations. He will help you think through the new and necessary ways of working and how to best put them into practice.
You'll learn the answers to these core questions:
- What is changing?
- What can you do about it?
- Where do you start?
The Role of Output, Process and Content Management
What is the new role of process in all this? Imagine an end-to-end platform to load and offload specific information chunks, and intelligently manage their interaction and availability to centralized business systems and decentralized groups of knowledge workers. Optimized processes to better control paper and digital information are one key to better productivity in decentralized and hyperspecialized enterprises.
In the second part of this webinar Keith Jones, VP Worldwide Marketing, OEM and Alliances for Lexmark's Printing Solutions and Services Division, explains how smart output, process and content management help you overcome paper-document inefficiency and information overload. This three-part strategy replaces paper-based systems and hardware with workflow-optimized devices and processes.

McCain: Obama to Send New Arms to Syrian Rebels
In a private meeting at the White House on Monday with Sen. John McCain, President Obama said he plans to give Syrian rebels more advanced weapons, according to McCain. If this happens, it would mark an expansion of Obama's latest Syria strategy of possibly mounting a military response to Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons.
McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham met with Obama to discuss the plan, which, as currently outlined by the White House, involves a limited mission to punish the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons, as the Syrian president did most recently on August 21, and deter future assaults. Administration officials have made clear that "regime change" is not an objective of the mission. But Obama's new arming strategy would certainly help the rebels, whose goal is removal of the Assad regime. The White House didn't respond to requests for comment Monday.
"He said that he was willing to upgrade the capabilities of the Free Syrian Army," McCain said in an interview with The Daily Beast, referring to the largest of the rebel groups. "This was a shift in the president's thought and actions from before."
McCain and Graham have said they want to know the president's broader strategy for the Syrian conflict before voting on the war authorization.
Obama didn't say which weapons he would give the rebels, but McCain said the Free Syrian Army needs antiarmor and antiaircraft weapons to shift the momentum on the ground to its side. He said if the administration gives him enough specifics about the new arms pledges, he'll vote to authorize military action.
"For the first time we have an outline of action that could lead to the removal of Bashar al-Assad," McCain said. "I'm certainly willing to join in that effort, but I need to know a lot of the details."
Previous weapons pledges by Obama to the Syrian rebels have not been honored, McCain said. In June the White House promised to increase its military assistance to the FSA in response to another set of chemical-weapons attacks that the U.S. intelligence community concluded had been perpetrated by the Syrian regime in March. But those weapons never arrived, so lawmakers need greater assurances this time around, McCain said.

PHOTO: Pharrell uses 1600 crystals to decorate sneakers
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
Pharrell Williams is making another fashion statement this time with his sparkling footwear. The rapper has recently been spotted wearing some shiny kicks that are decked out with 1600 Swarovski crystals.
A rep from Swarovski tells Billboard that Pharrell got the idea of blinging out his Stan Smith Adidas after seeing a pair of "crystallized platform shoes." Apparently, "Skateboard P" teamed with the company's creative team to select the size, shape and color of the crystals for his customized kicks.
The 1600 crystals took over ten hours to place on the shoes. Swarovski is also holding out hope of working with hip-hop's hottest star in the future.
On Instagram, Pharrell thanked Swarovski for helping him to customize his shoes.
"Thank you @official_swarovski for customizing my Stan Smith sneakers @adidasoriginals @nbcsnl #SNL."
