• Twitter Inc. will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning after setting a price for its IPO sometime Wednesday evening. As it stands, the San Francisco-based company plans to raise as much as $1.6 billion in the process. The transaction values Twitter at as much as $12.5 billion. That's little more than one-eighth of Facebook's roughly $104 billion market value when it went public.
• Twitter has not turned a profit since its launch, but its future depends on advertisements as a primary source of income. The company mainly sells three types of ads: promoted tweets, promoted accounts and promoted trends. A company like Starbucks, for instance, can pay Twitter to promote a single tweet or it can pay the company to ask users to follow its account.

• OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Chip Kelly walks by a sign commemorating Adrian Burk's record seven touchdown passes in a single game every day in the Philadelphia Eagles' offices.
• Even knowing the importance of that mark, Kelly saw little reason to allow Nick Foles to try to break it.
• Foles tied an NFL mark with seven touchdown passes and threw for 406 yards before being replaced in the fourth quarter in the Eagles' 49-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
• "I know what the record is," Kelly said. "But this isn't about records, it's about going out and getting a win. If I put Nick out there to try to get a record and he gets hurt, that's being silly. Records are meant to broken when they're supposed to be broken."
• The backup quarterback connected three times with Riley Cooper to become the seventh passer in NFL history with seven TD tosses in a game. Peyton Manning did it for Denver on opening night this season against Baltimore.
