Years of Citing Articles
In this paper we study a random graph with N nodes, where node j has degree Dj and {Dj} N j=1 are i.i.d. with P(Dj ≤ x) = F(x). We assume that 1 − F(x) ≤ cx −τ+1 for some τ> 3 and some constant c> 0. This graph model is a variant of the so-called configuration model, and includes heavy tail degrees with finite variance. The minimal number of edges between two arbitrary connected nodes, also known as the graph distance or the hopcount, is investigated when N → ∞. We prove that the graph distance grows like log ν N, when the base of the logarithm equals ν = E[Dj(Dj − 1)]/E[Dj]> 1. This confirms the heuristic argument of Newman, Strogatz and Watts [35]. In addition, the random fluctuations around this asymptotic mean log ν N are characterized and shown to be uniformly bounded. In particular, we show convergence in distribution of the centered graph distance along exponentially growing subsequences.

DOVER, Del. (AP)- Jimmie Johnson held off teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. down the stretch to win for a record eighth time at Dover International Speedway.
Johnson had shared the mark of seven wins on the concrete mile with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty. Led by Johnson, the entire top 10 Sunday was made up of Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers.
Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, who won the first two Chase races, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer completed the top 10.
Earnhardt had one of the fastest cars, but he missed pit road and gave up the lead early in the race. He had a strong enough No. 88 Chevrolet to get back into the race but couldn't pass Johnson.
Kenseth kept his points lead even as he fell short in trying to become the first driver to win the first three Chase races.

"...everything about Weebly helped me make my site :) I'm broke as a joke so I was trying to find the best site that offered the most customization for free. Weebly is amazing! Thank you for providing these great tools. I made a fantastic little site for my photography/art/crafts, and I am obsessed with updating it. This was the first site I ever made, I do have a little knowledge in how to write css so the option to edit the code it also very awesome. Love the new iPhone app too and the ability to update my little blog on the fly and upload pics directly, good stuff. Thanks!"
"...As a freelance graphic designer in the Bay Area, website creation used to be the most strenuous and arduous process out of all my service. Thanks to Weebly this has become incredibly easy. I have a web portfolio on my website of all the sites I've created for clients ( a good majority with Weebly). I use the iPhone app to track my stats of visitors coming in and out of my site. For my clients websites, I use the mobile app to take screenshots month to month of their web traffic so they can see a brief overview of how everything is coming along.."
"I love that I can have a blog inside my website - instead of either/or. Plus I love that I can update it on the go."
"I just started with Weebly a few days ago. I am amazed at how quickly I was able to build a nice site to help drive my vintage industrial furniture sales. The iPhone app makes it so easy to post while on the go! Thanks Weebly!"
"My website has some 100 blog pages all broken up into category names for local directory listings. It's so easy to use I can actually screen shot the business website on my phone, crop it on my phone, and add them to the directory category off my phone."

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.

Through our annual Christel House campaigns here in New Jersey, I always knew that Christel House was changing lives. I don't think I fully appreciated this until I had the privilege to visit Christel House Mexico with our Latin American legal team in the summer of 2011. We toured the school and had a chance to meet its Director, Maria Cristina, the teachers and of course the wonderful students. The school was full of life and excitement, from the colorful walls and passionate teachers to the smiles on the kids' faces. This wasn't a passive visit, as we were put to work helping the students with an arts and crafts project (I only wish I had an ounce of their talent!). It was impossible not to smile and be lifted up by their energy and curious questions. My children had been equally curious about my visit and offered to donate over 50 of their own books to the school - one of the personal highlights for me was reading one of the books to a first grade class. I couldn't help but see my own children in their eyes and I wanted to do all I could to help.
With our emotions already running high, we also visited one of the student's homes. I will never forget it. We were on a fairly typical city block for the area, with apartment buildings and businesses which you would expect to see in such an urban location. And then we were suddenly there - just a few hundred feet off the street – in an area called 'the cliffs' with tiny structures dotting a steep cliff on both sides. There were holes in the walls and roofs – very little space and shelter. The conditions were as severe as I had ever seen in my life. We met one family, struggling to get by with over 6 people living in a space more suited for 1 and with paper thin walls. We met their little girl, Azul – her smile lit up the place. Against the odds, she was succeeding at school and in extracurricular activities, with great support from Christel House. This amazing family was very thankful for Christel House, and we were grateful that they took us into their lives for a brief moment. It was an incredible day and experience for all of us and reminded us of the need which Christel House serves and the transformative role which they play every day. Thank you, Christel House!

Short-term weight-loss plans can be effective, although a lot of them are very low in calories and/or nutrients, which can be hazardous for your health. The Military diet is indeed a short-term diet, but it comes with an easy to follow, balanced meal-plan containing the right food combinations that can support your metabolism into burning fat more effectively.
The diet lasts 3 days and you can follow it only one time or take a break for 4 days, start to diet again for 3 days and so on, until you reach your weight-loss goals. Apparently you can lose up to 10 pounds in 2 days with the Military diet, although the results vary a lot from one person to another.
Basic Rules
While the diet does have a fixed meal plan, there are also a few rules you should know about. The recommended drink for this diet, is water. You can only use salt and natural spices and herbs. And last, but not least: snacking is not allowed!
In the first day of the diet, you are allowed to drink unsweetened coffee or caffeine-based herbal tea. During the next two days, only water will be allowed.
- 1 cup of coffee or tea (unsweetened)
- 1/2 grapefruit
- 1 slice of toast
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- ½ cup of tuna
- 1 slice of toast
- 1 cup of coffee or tea (unsweetened)
- 3 ounces of meat (any kind you like)
- 1 cup of green beans
- 1 cup of plain vanilla ice cream (without any topping or other extras)
- ½ banana
- 1 small apple
The Military Diet – Day 2
- 1 egg (cooked in any way you like)
- 1 slice of toast
- ½ banana
- 1 hard-boiled egg
- 1 cup of cottage cheese or 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 5 saltine crackers
- 2 hot dogs (without buns)
- ½ cup of carrots
- 1 cup of broccoli
- ½ cup of plain vanilla ice cream
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 5 saltine crackers
- 1 small apple
- 1 hard-boiled egg
- 1 slice of toast
- 1 cup of tuna
- 1 cup of vanilla ice cream
- ½ banana
Other considerations
Coffee or any type of tea with caffeine are part of this diet, but only for the first two meals during the first day. You can use moderate amounts of salt and pepper and small amounts of natural dried herbs to spice up your foods. The best ways to cook your vegetables during this diet is through steaming or boiling.
As you can see, this diet is a bit restrictive, in terms of calories and food quantity. The Military Diet relies a lot on eggs, cheese and meat so it is high in protein. It also includes a sufficient amount of dietary fiber (from fruits and vegetables) and low amounts of fat. That is why it is so effective for weight-loss.
Like for most other diets, exercise is recommended. Even if you are seriously overweight a 20-minute daily walk can help you start getting into shape and losing weight more effectively.
If you plan on repeating the diet, be very careful what and how much you eat during the four days off. Try to eat high-quality nutritious foods, others than the ones included in the diet. For a healthy individual, the Military Diet can be considered safe, although asking the doctor's advice is recommended before starting to follow a diet, even if you don't have any illnesses.

The source I found this on seems to think it could be good due to the developer (Blue Castle Games). If nothing else it could provide another competitor to the OOTP/Baseball Mogul world. Still a real development team and an actual license makes it a pretty attactive option for fantasy GMs of the world.
I can't wait for Geoff Baker's winter articles on his team!

On-tap at the Clybourn location.
A: Poured a clear, dark orange, with a nice, healthy slightly off-white head that stuck around for a bit.
S: It had sort of an orange "Creamsicle" flair about it concerning the nose. Very low in piney hops, but very high in fructose sugar.
T: Same as the nose, although I'm here to report that this wasn't the "Fruit Cocktail" syrup bomb that I was fearing. Lots of orange and some peach, but mainly this was the sludge found on the bottom of a can of fruit cocktail, minus the fruit.
M: The mouthfeel was actually nice: bubbly and creamy for sure, with lots of lacing and little to no booze detected.
O: This was merely a passing entry for me, but if you're a fruit lover, it might be worth a look.

On tap at Goose Island Clybourn. Served in a sampler glass. Pours golden with a white head. A bit of lacing on the way down. Thin collar throughout. Nose carries some earth, pine, and citrus hops. Flavor has some citrus rind and a bit of malt in the background. Medium body with good carbonation and moderate bitterness. My favorite of the hoppy ales on at the time.

Splitting double duty as a late lunch of duck ruben starts with the Green Line and concludes with Inspiration. The later finishes with considerable more citrus zest, stronger alcohol, drier malts, and ultimate palate cleansing.
Pouring with a coppery amber color, the appearance seems of honey. A creamy off white head pulls from the liquid and rests atop the beer with confidence and lasting retention. Rings of lace form with each sip. It's an unmistakable IPA for sure.
Bright and zesty aromas shoot out of the glass with oranges leading the way. Floral tangerines, orange blossom, nectarines, and kumquats emerge in a very plump and juicy delivery. Aided by the caramel aromas, this gives higher appreciation of plum fruit sweetness. Light minty alcohols swirl about the nose and offers a stronger herbal scent that just keeps the complexities coming.
Flavors are every bit a ripe, plump, and juicy as the flavors of ruby red grapefruit juice, tangerine pulp, and orange zest is beefed up with the supple candied taste of malt. Caramel, breads, and honeysuckle take the citrus fruit character and seem to make them riper. Light starch from malts support the hops and keep them from becoming one-sided. But make no mistake about it- the hops definitely pull ahead of the malts. Alcohol flavor continue the herbal balance and remind the palate that the hops are herbal and not just fruity.
Medium bodied throughout, the early starchy sweetness quickly recedes and gives way to the hop flavors at mid palate and then the clean hop dryness to finish. Aided by mild alcohol warmth and bone-dry malt character, the beer finishes very refreshing and zesty.
While not as potent as many IPA, this beer carries barely more heft than stronger pale ales but the balance of the beer strongly resembles hop-forward varieties. Together, this allows the beer to have the taste of IPA but the drinkability of standard pales.

Kyle Orton will be the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback this season. Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn will both be his No. 2.
Like us to subscribe
One quarter of the way through the season and the Denver Broncos are 1-3 under head coach John Fox and quarterback Kyle Orton. If John Fox has his way (there's no reason he won't have it for the rest of the season), he is going to live and die by Kyle Orton for the remainder of the year.
During his Monday presser, Fox told reporters:
"There are no what-ifs at this point. Kyle Orton is our starting quarterback."
And then he followed that a bit later with:
"You do (care what fans think) but in the decision-making process, you have to evaluate what you see."
While fans chant and put up billboards for Tim Tebow to take over for Kyle Orton, Fox continues to reiterate that he isn't going to let that get to him. There's something he sees on film that we might not get while watch the manufactured views of TV camera operators.
And Orton hasn't lost the support the locker room, either. As one teammate recently said:
"Kyle's our guy. That's who we're rolling with," running back Willis McGahee said Monday. "Whoever doesn't like it, it is what it is. He's leading the Denver Broncos. He's running the show. So, I mean, I think everybody just needs to get over it."
Most of the cheerleading for Orton's ouster is a bit misguided. John Fox might be wrong in saying Orton gives the team the best chance at winning, but the team's issues do run much deeper than Orton's play. Orton isn't the cause of his teammates fumbling or the defense leaving opponents wide open. He most certainly is part of the problem, but starting Tim Tebow isn't necessarily a palliative. The team could certainly do better with him or it could just be more of the same. But if Tebow did start for most of the remaining schedule, we'd at least know what Tebow is capable of doing.
And in times of great decisions, the conservative coach in John Fox sticks with his plan.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox wasn't kidding when he said that Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow would both be listed as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart. Just take a look at the Broncos' depth chart on the official website:
Remember, Fox is doing this to not give opponents a competitive advantage should an injury strike.
Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, though, breaks down how that listing would actually work out if Orton was out for any reason. Quinn is likely the backup who will come in if Orton is injured or needs to sit out a few plays. Tebow, on the other hand, can come in and play in his own package situations, as he did last year before starting the final three games of the season.
What that means, essentially, is that we'd see Tebow enter the game and orchestrate a designed quarterback run. However, that would be just a bit predictable for the opposing teams. Fox surely has plans for utilizing Tebow in a special role this season.

When the Denver Broncos' first regular season depth chart is released next week, there won't be any surprises at quarterback. Kyle Orton has already been named the starter, and head coach John Fox has stated that Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn will both be the No. 2 quarterback, according to Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post.
Since the third quarterback rule was eliminated during the collective bargaining agreement talks, there is no more need for an emergency quarterback. But with both players the co-designated No. 2 quarterback, opposing teams won't be able to completely prepare during the week for both Tebow and Quinn.
Fox has been quiet on how he will use Tebow during games. Former head coach Josh McDaniels did have the "Tebow Package" that saw the young quarterback come in and run the ball. Fox might have something similar in his plans, but we'll need to wait a little while to find out.

For everyone calling for Tim Tebow to be cut or traded by the Denver Broncos, that is short-sightedness. Tebow is the only quarterback currently on the roster who is also under contract for the 2012 season. He has about $7 million committed to him in salary and bonuses this season and is due about $2 million in 2012. Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn are both free agents, as is Adam Weber, whom at least one person believes is better than Tebow.
As the Denver Post's Jeff Legwold points out, there are no indications that the Broncos do want to sign Orton for the long-term. If they wanted to do that, they would already have started talking a contract with him. Orton stands to gain much more from hitting free agency than signing with the Broncos. Why would the Broncos want to overpay Orton to stay with them, Legwold asks.
For now, Orton will take his near $9 million salary for the 2011 season and see how things play out. If he continues to disappear in the second half of the season, Quinn and Tebow are ready to step in. And after the season, everything is up in there air. Tebow? Andrew Luck in the draft? Let's deal with that in 2012. A quarterback conundrum right now helps no one.

The Denver Broncos quarterback controversy has taken another turn in a strange direction. It hasn't been Kyle Orton or Tim Tebow for a few weeks already. Brady Quinn or Tim Tebow as Orton's backup? That was so last weekend. The new one? Tim Tebow or Adam Weber for third-string quarterback.
In Michael Silver's article for Yahoo! Sports, undrafted rookie free agent Adam Weber is making a move on being better than Tim Tebow. According to Silver, there are some people in the organization who believe Weber should be the third-string quarterback over Tebow:
As one highly knowledgeable member of the organization told me Monday, "If everything was totally equal, and this were a competition based only on performance at this camp, Tebow would probably be the fourth-string guy. [...] And I'm telling you, Adam Weber is flat-out better right now."
But things aren't equal, as Silver points out. Tebow is a former first-round pick, meaning the team has plenty of money committed in him. It would be gross negligence if Tebow wasn't at the very least the third-string quarterback come the Sept. 12 season opener against the Oakland Raiders.
If Weber is that highly regarded by some in the organization, one must wonder when he'll actually see playing time in the preseason. Will we wait until the final game?

In what was a formality, Kyle Orton has been named the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos in their season opener against the Oakland Raiders. On Monday, Sept. 12, Kyle Orton will lead the offense onto Sports Authority Field at Mile High as the starter for a third year in a row.
Once the new collective bargaining agreement was settled and teams could start trading, it looked as though Orton would be traded to the Miami Dolphins. However, compensation and a new contract held up a trade, which has been dead for weeks. Orton then took all the first-team snaps as training camp got underway. There was no battle for the starting quarterback position.
Head coach John Fox, however, is not ready to name a backup quarterback, saying that it is still ongoing, according to Andrew Mason of MaxDenver.com. Brady Quinn moved to the No. 2 position last week in a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Tim Tebow is third on the depth chart. While the backup is not settled, it is Quinn's to lose now.

Brady Quinn isn't going to unseat Kyle Orton as the Denver Broncos starting quarterback soon, but it's looking more and more like he will be the immediate backup to Orton should the team lose Orton for any period of time.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post suggests that a strong performance by Quinn in this weekend's preseason game could cast uncertainty on the Broncos' quarterback depth chart. He'll need to play against more than third-teamers this time around. Against the Dallas Cowboys' backups to the backups, Quinn went 8-of-14 for 120 yards and one touchdown in the second half of the game.
Teammate Champ Bailey has already been impressed with the former Cleveland Browns quarterback:
"I don't know why it is, or exactly how to explain it, but Brady is much better this year than he was last year," Broncos star cornerback Champ Bailey said. "He just seems much more confident."
As Klis goes on to explain, Quinn received help from Paul Hackett, a longtime defensive coordinator in the pros and in college and from David Lee, a quarterbacks coach, to work on his game. It's paying off so far.
At this point, it shouldn't be a surprise if Brady Quinn does force his way into being Orton's backup.

Now that the Kyle Orton-Tim Tebow controversy is all nice and settled in for training camp, pundits are taking sides. Skip Bayless believes Tebow is the present and the future of the Broncos. Rick Reilly, on the other hand, puts Tebow's fight for the top spot on the depth chart to an end.
Reilly writes in his article, "Tim Tebow not ready for prime time," that the young quarterback doesn't have the team behind him. Kyle Orton, however, has the "entire locker room" desiring him to be the team's quarterback. Reilly follows with some comments from John Elway about how the lockout hurt Tebow's ability to come in and compete with Kyle Orton on the same level of preparation. Elway goes on to say:
But he's an amazing football player. I'd never give up on Tim Tebow."
Tebow does need to learn how to play from under center instead of out of the shotgun, as he did in Florida. But that quote from Elway gets to the heart of the matter. Why give up on him? Why hope he becomes a colossal NFL failure? What does it gain anyone to hope that? Nothing. Yes, he is immensely popular and maybe that puts people off, but it's no reason to wish for his football demise.

The first Denver Broncos depth chart has been released for the 2011 preseason and Kyle Orton is the team's No. 1 quarterback heading into Thursday's game with the Dallas Cowboys. He may not be the most popular choice among a certain segment of the fans, but he is clearly John Fox's quarterback--for the moment.
As Andrew Mason of MaxDenver.com details, Orton has looked the best in practice out of the four quarterbacks on the roster. But actions in preseason games will certainly provide better insight on how these quarterbacks will wind up on the final depth chart before the Sept. 12 season opener. As Mason believes, it would be a shock if Orton is not the man under center.
As for how Orton is handling boos from the fans and the desire from some corners for Tebow to start, Mason has a good quote from the quarterback:
"My last goal playing quarterback is winning over the fans. My first goal is to win over my teammates, my coaches and I think I'm well on the way towards doing that," he said.
That could bring some fan backlash, not that he doesn't have enough already, but his point is a good one. The fans don't make the decisions, the coaches do. Orton can take all the boos he receives, but as long as he's John Fox's guy the fan reaction doesn't matter much.

While most of the attention this training camps is (rightly) on Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos do have a rookie quarterback who is looking to make the team. Adam Weber signed as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota. His college teammate was current Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker, who is set up to be the No. 3 wide receiver on the team this season.
But Weber? He's the fourth quarterback right now and it doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. As Weber told the Denver Post recently:
"I'm a long ways off from stepping foot on a field," he said.
As Weber states earlier in the article, teams don't carry four quarterbacks. At this point, Weber is more than likely heading to the team's practice squad, where he can develop and develop his skills to compete for a roster spot in 2012. Orton and Brady Quinn are free agents next season, leaving Tebow as the only quarterback under contract entering the 2012 season.

We're less than one week away from the Denver Broncos' first preseason game, but Tim Tebow is feeling more than just the pressure of needing to perform in that game to keep open a competition with Kyle Orton. In a recent interview with the Denver Post's Woody Paige, Tebow had some choice words about being a starting quarterback:
"My dream, since I was a young boy, of being a starting quarterback in the NFL seemed to be coming true," Tebow told me as we stood outside the Broncos' locker room.
"Then, I felt like it was grabbed back away. . . ." He paused and didn't finish the thought. Instead, he finished his quart of milk.
It appears as though Tebow is alluding to the Broncos' ultimately failed attempt at trading Kyle Orton to the Miami Dolphins once the trading period opened up last week. Does it come off as a bit of whining? I'm not quite that sure on that front, but Tebow should have known that the Broncos might decide to keep Orton, which they did.
As the interview with Paige goes on, though, Tebow is optimistic and not pouting, as the above quote may have given the appearance on setting that up. Rather, he thinks the quarterback competition is still open and wants to do everything he can to overcome Orton and Brady Quinn to be under center when the Broncos face the Raiders on Sept. 12.
But, as Paige suggests, John Elway and John Fox may already have privately chosen a quarterback: Orton. It would make sense given the amount of money they have invested in him. But that doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be the quarterback throughout the entire season.

In writing that was found all over the wall since trade talks died down between the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, Kyle Orton has been informed that he will not be traded and that he is the Broncos' starting quarterback, according to the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. This should come as no surprise as Orton received all of the first-team practice snaps over the last week.
If Elway, Fox and Xanders had settled on Tebow after a week of Orton taking starter's reps, that would have been gross negligence on their parts. But they didn't, so there's no groundbreaking news here.
The better question to ask going forward is if Orton can keep a hold of the starter's position. He certainly got off to a quick start in 2010, but failed to carry that into the second half of the season. Tim Tebow and even Brady Quinn will be nipping at Orton's heels all season. Is this a disaster waiting to happen?

With each passing day, a trade of Kyle Orton grows unlikelier. ESPN's Adam Schefter categorically denies that any trade of Kyle Orton will occur. He went on to say that Orton would be the Broncos' starting quarterback this season.
At this point, it's hard to believe that a trade could happen, despite some outlets believing Miami and Orton will come to their senses and agree on a new contract. If this continues to drag on and eventually does get consummated, it hurts the Broncos, as Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn have not received first team practice snaps yet.
But with Orton continuing to get first-team snaps, it really does look as though he will be the starter on Monday, Sept. 12 against the Oakland Raiders. The question, then, is how long he will remain under center.

While SI's Peter King believes that Kyle Orton may still be traded to the Miami Dolphins, he is most definitely the Denver Broncos No. 1 quarterback right now. If you've been following the Twitter accounts of the Denver Post's Lindsay Jones and MaxDenver.com's Andrew Mason, Orton is taking the first-team reps and looking like the opening day starter.
Meanwhile, Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow are battling to be his backup--at least for now. Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the competition between the two quarterbacks is close. Quinn has played with the second-string team occasionally, though Tebow is still getting most of the time there.
This should come as no surprise and John Elway and John Fox always said that there would be a quarterback competition during training camp. Quinn, who was never given a real chance in 2010, is benefiting from this competition, but there is still so much time left for things to settle.

While the rumors around the Denver Broncos trading Kyle Orton to the Miami Dolphins have hit a brick wall with the signings of Matt Moore and Pat Devlin, there still could be a trade. Sports Illustrated's Peter King still believes that an Orton-to-Miami deal could be done. He thinks it would be a colossal mistake for Orton to not buck up on his contract demands and sign for whatever:
Five years down the road, if he doesn't end up in Miami, he'll be saying to himself, "I should have redone my contract back in 2011. I should have figured how much they wanted to go with Tebow, and how I could have started from day one in Miami.''
It has to be clear by now to Orton that he is not the answer in Denver and that Tim Tebow is the guy the team wants to be the quarterback under center this season. If that weren't true, the team wouldn't have been actively shopping him as soon as they were allowed to.
As much as Kyle Orton is not the answer in Denver, he could be in Miami. Matt Moore and Pat Devlin as well as others aren't going to help the Dolphins win games.

At 2 p.m. MT, Kyle Orton's $1.5 million roster became active, according to the National Football Posts' Andrew Brandt. He believes that makes an Orton trade unlikely at this point, but who knows a few weeks from now. Maybe Matt Moore performs poorly and Chad Henne does as well. The Dolphins might come calling again.
Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter spoke with Orton earlier on Friday and the quarterback told him that a trade with the Dolphins was "dead." Mike Klis of the Denver Post followed a little bit later that the issue over the proposed Orton trade was his contract. The two teams had settled on compensation, but Orton's need to negotiate a new contract hampered efforts.
For now, Orton remains the Broncos' starting quarterback, but with camp just starting teams could be looking to change their starter soon. Orton will surely remain high atop the list of potential trade targets.

It appears that the Miami Dolphins have moved on from Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton. According to OregonLive.com, the Dolphins have agreed to a two-year contract with former Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore. The deal is reportedly worth $5 million with incentives to reach $7.5 million.
Kyle Orton was reportedly negotiating a contract with the Dolphins, but he was likely looking for a deal that was commensurate with what he was set to receive in 2011: nearly $9 million. The Dolphins, it seems, wanted no part of that and preferred Orton taking a lesser deal.
So now Kyle Orton is the starting quarterback for the Broncos and Tim Tebow is the backup. Brady Quinn, as usual, remains the No. 3 QB. Will John Fox develop his own Tebow Package to get the youngster some time on the field?
Training camp is just underway, so there are plenty of developing story lines in this situation.

With the Kyle Orton trade talks between the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins currently stalled, Orton is still the first-team quarterback. However, that could change by Aug. 4, the start of the new league year. The assumption has been the Broncos need to cut money in a number of places to get under the salary cap on that day. Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald believes that could force the Broncos to cut Orton, effectively eliminating any sort of leverage the team may have had left.
However, it has been confirmed that dead money from players cut won't count against the cap this season (first reported by Mile High Report). That will give the Broncos a bit more breathing space than previously expected and room to keep Kyle Orton.
The issues still in place are the compensation the Broncos will receive and a new contract for Orton. Orton is due nearly $9 million this season and he wants a long-term deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter has termed the trade as being "on life support."

Thursday began and ended with Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton still in Dove Valley. Orton was running the first-team offense during the first practice of training camp. This despite much speculation that Orton had been negotiating a contract with the Dolphins.
However, according to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, the issue is either compensation (reportedly a third-round pick) or that Orton and the Dolphins have yet to reach a mutual pact on a new contract. Salguero believes this could go on until Aug. 4 when teams need to be under the salary cap at the start of the new league year.
The issue over compensation could be an issue since the Broncos don't have much leverage, as Kevin Kolb is finally with the Arizona Cardinals. As ESPN's John Clayton offers, the Broncos are looking for a better offer than what they are receiving at the moment. The Cardinals sent Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick to the Eagles for the quarterback. And then they gave Kolb a $63 million contract.
Kent Somers of AZCentral.com offers some info on why the Cards ultimately opted for Kolb:
The Cardinals were concerned about Orton's performance in the red zone and on third-down. Kolb, who is a bit younger, has more upside in their eyes. Plus, two teams -- the Bears and Broncos -- have been willing to part with Orton. Why?
But then Kolb doesn't have as much experience as Orton to find out if he has those issues. Still, the Dolphins do appear to want Orton. The question is how much longer they will haggle with the Broncos.

The Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins did not complete a much rumored trade of Kyle Orton on Wednesday. What we do know is that the Broncos are talking with the Dolphins, but the holdup could be over Orton's desire for a new, multi-year contract.
Orton did show up for his physical and attend a later team meeting, but things still point to Orton being moved. The NFL Network's Michelle Beisner, though, paints a bit murkier picture with her tweet on Wednesday night:
A lot of peeps lookin for update on Orton trade. I'm told, trade talks are not dead, could still happen. Fluid is the name of this game!!!
This may just be the use of bad phrase on Beisner's part. With Kevin Kolb still a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Arizona Cardinals could still trade for Orton, which is why the Broncos may be holding on to Orton for just a little bit longer. While the Kolb-to-Arizona trade is believed to be done by the end of this week, things could still change. As Beisner remarks at the end of her tweet, "Fluid is the name of the game."
Will the Broncos ultimately settle on a third-round pick or will they try to negotiate an escalator and have it move to a second-rounder in the event of some sort of marker on the season? Hopefully we'll find out more on Thursday.

Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton did show up to training camp on Wednesday, but he may not be there for much longer. Reports that Orton is negotiating a contract with the Miami Dolphins appear to be serious, as Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the two teams are deep into negotiations.
The NFL Network's Albert Breer believes that the contract negotiations with the Dolphins are the only thing standing in the way of a deal going down. According to Breer, the Broncos would receive "about a third round pick," which could mean there might be a conditional pick or something else included. But that is just idle speculation.
This deal could get done on Wednesday if all of these rumors pan out. And to think many thought Kevin Kolb was going to be the first quarterback traded.

Is Kyle Orton's tenure with the Denver Broncos finally close to an end? According to Omar Kelly of the Sun-Sentinel, the quarterback is negotiating with the Miami Dolphins and several other teams for a new contract upon his trade. Kelly's source believes Orton is the top quarterback target for general manager Jeff Ireland.
What could complicate a new deal is Orton's desire to be paid $6 million per year. Do the Dolphins or any of the unnamed other teams want to pay him that much? Miami may be the only one since there is no "Quarterback of the Future" waiting in the wings in Miami. Arizona would also fit that mold, but they appear intent on trading for Kevin Kolb.
Even if the Broncos and the Dolphins do work out a trade, any new deal Orton signs cannot happen until Friday at 4 p.m. MT.

On ESPN, Shelley Smith, live at Dove Valley, reported that Kyle Orton has yet to be seen at Denver Broncos training camp. As she said, no one has seen Orton's Prius yet. She reiterated that the Broncos are actively seeking out a trade for the quarterback, but they could sit tight and keep Orton on the roster.
She speculates that that would mean Orton would be the starter, Tebow would be the backup and Brady Quinn would be the No. 3 QB. Mark Schlereth followed on the SportsCenter segment and said the Broncos were doing the right thing by exploring trades for Orton. He also believes that there are players in the locker room who think Brady Quinn has never received a real chance at the job and that he could be a good quarterback.
The Miami Dolphins appear to be the front-runners in an Orton trade, but it is likely that we still need to wait for Kevin Kolb to be dealt before any deal goes down.

Is the Kyle Orton trade bubble about to burst? Mike Klis of the Denver Post points out that Orton's potential landing spots are fading quicker than expected. The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a contract with free agent Matt Hasselbeck, and the Minnesota Vikings are quite close to acquiring Donovan McNabb for two sixth-round draft picks.
And despite talks between the Broncos and the Cardinals for Orton, it still appears as though the Cards are intent on picking up Kevin Kolb. And with the Seahawks signing Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Leinart eliminates them from the discussion. So that leaves the Miami Dolphins, or, as Klis states, the Broncos--at least for a couple of weeks.
Klis could see the Redskins, who just traded McNabb, checking back in a couple of weeks since John Beck is the starter for now. He also lists Cincinnati as a team that could come calling since they just lost Carson Palmer to retirement. However, Andy Dalton's presence there would create a similar situation in Denver.

With quarterback Kevin Kolb still a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Denver Broncos will keep hold of Kyle Orton for the time being and explore the trade market for him. The Arizona Cardinals appear to be the team most intent on trading for a quarterback, but so far they are unwilling to pay the price for Kolb, making Orton a possible acquisition fort them.
There are at least six other teams who could be interested in acquiring Orton. On Tuesday night, Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole reported that the Miami Dolphins and the Tennessee Titans are the "strongest possibilities" to acquire Orton. But he also points out that either team could look at unrestricted free agent Matt Hasselbeck instead.
Miami seems like the better destination since there is no quarterback of the future there to challenge Orton, whereas Tennessee has Jake Locker waiting in the wings. The Broncos are no stranger as a trade partner with the Dolphins, as wide receiver Brandon Marshall went to Miami in 2010. Orton would be able to reconnect with his former receiver.
Right now, the quarterback trade market is certainly a fluid situation.

Kevin Kolb is still a Philadelphia Eagle on the first day teams could discuss trades, and this helps the Denver Broncos in their pursuit of trading Kyle Orton. According to Kent Somers of AZCentral.com, the Cardinals have talked with both teams about their respective quarterbacks, as well as with Matt Hasselbeck and Marc Bulger.
It had been long assumed that Kolb would be traded to the Cardinals once the lockout was lifted and teams could trade, but it seems that the Cards are balking at giving up a first-round draft pick for him. As Somers mentions, the Cards are willing to trade Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie and a draft pick for quarterback.
That's where Kyle Orton enters into the discussion, as the Broncos are likely not going to ask for the same compensation the Eagles are asking for with Kolb. As Mile High Report informs, however, ESPN's Adam Schefter believes the Broncos could ask for a first-round pick.
For now, it would be safe to say that it may take a couple of days before the quarterback trade market shakes itself out.

If the Denver Broncos do trade quarterback Kyle Orton, where might he wind up? Much of this depends on whether the Arizona Cardinals trade for the Philadelphia Eagles' Kevin Kolb. If the Cards balk at the cost for Kolb, they could tell the Eagles that they'll go talk with Denver about acquiring Kyle Orton. That could be a ploy to lower the cost or it could be a serious move.
If the Cards do wind up with Kolb where are the other destinations for Orton? Mike Klis of the Denver Post has a list of teams. Let's break them down:
Vikings: Minnesota drafted Florida State QB Christian Ponder with the No. 12 overall pick. Brett Favre is retired and Tarvaris Jackson is a free agent. But Orton would be in the same situation he finds himself in Denver.
Titans: Tennessee drafted Washington QB Jake Locker at No. 8 overall and Kerry Collins retired. Vince Young is soon to be gone. Again, Orton would need to deal with a youngster destined to take over the QB spot.
Dolphins: Miami makes sense with Chad Henne not the answer and Chad Pennington likely retiring. Orton would be reunited with wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
Redskins: Washington head coach Mike Shanahan seems intent on trading or releasing Donovan McNabb and going with John Beck at quarterback. Would Shanahan trade with his old team?
Seahawks: Seattle no longer has Matt Hasselbeck and Charlie Whitehurst is slated to be the starter as of now.
Bengals: Cincinnati has disgruntled Carson Palmer on the roster and could trade him. They drafted Andy Dalton in the second round, so, again, similar situation in Denver.

With NFL teams able to talk with each other about making trades on Tuesday morning, the Denver Broncos could soon send quarterback Kyle Orton out of their Dove Valley facilities and across the country. According to the Denver Post's Mike Klis, the team will indeed, after much offseason speculation, listen to offers for the Broncos' quarterback the past two seasons.
Klis, however, doesn't see it as a forgone conclusion that Orton will be traded. He believes that if the team is unable to trade Orton, Tim Tebow will need to take a seat to him for a year. At $7.379 million this season, Orton would be one expensive and likely upset backup.
But there does appear to be a market for Orton, as he is an alternative to Kevin Kolb, who is considered the top-available quarterback. The Eagles are looking for a first-round pick for Kolb and that deal will likely get done shortly after trades can occur at 8 a.m. MT. Orton would be the backup plan for those who lose out.

With the NFL lockout mere hours from ending, if not sooner, the Denver Broncos will likely start taking phone calls for quarterback Kyle Orton. Many signs during the offseason pointed to the Broncos trading Orton when the time arises, but the NFL Network's Jason La Canfora was the lone holdout on that issue. For months he maintained that the Broncos wanted Orton to be the starter since he gave the team the best chance to win.
But on Sunday, La Canfora changed his tune, as more teams are turning up their interest in him. While rumors are that the Broncos want a second-round pick as a starting point for Orton, he is more likely to draw a lesser draft pick in comparison to what the Philadelphia Eagles will receive for Kevin Kolb, who is considered the top quarterback on the trade market.
Head coach John Fox did say he wants a "gamer" as his starter even while he has Orton at the top of his temporary depth chart. Even if Orton is traded, Tebow would still need to compete with Brady Quinn for the starting job, but is that much of a competition?
Stick with the StoryStream as the competition heats up. For more on the Broncos, visit Mile High Report.
Did Denver Broncos head coach John Fox just throw out the opening salvo in the battle for the team's starting quarterback competition? In a one-on-one interview with the Denver Post's Woody Paige, Fox revealed that:
"deep down, I have an idea" who will be No. 1 when the season starts. [...] "I prefer a gamer to a good practice player... I want someone who will execute under pressure in a game."
This sounds like Fox prefers Tim Tebow, but, as the article goes on, Fox does have a depth chart that currently lists Kyle Orton at the top and the second-year quarterback right below. Brady Quinn is third, but Fox is supposedly going to give him a chance to win the job.
Fox did emphasize that he has yet to see any of the quarterbacks practice (darn lockout). But how much of this is just repackaging old comments? For months we've had lingering comments from Fox and John Elway that Tim Tebow isn't guaranteed anything and that he needs to perform during training camp to get the job. I don't see anything different after this interview.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bank of America has reached a record $17 billion settlement to resolve an investigation into its role in the sale of mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crisis, officials directly familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Apple's stock soars to new high amid rising hopes for bigger-screen iPhone, other new products

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple's stock touched a new high Wednesday, reflecting investors' renewed faith in CEO Tim Cook's ability to outwit the competition and expand the technological hit factory built by the late Steve Jobs. Apple's stock had fallen to a split-adjusted $55.01 in April 2013 to wipe out about $300 billion in shareholder wealth amid worries that the Cupertino, California, company had run out of ideas without Jobs as its mastermind. The anxiety escalated as sales of iPhones and iPads slowed amid the growing popularity of less expensive smartphones and tablet computers made by Samsung Electronics and other rivals relying on Google's free Android software.

Andre Villas-Boas has generally favored the 4-3-3 throughout his managerial career and this is what he usually opts for as his Chelsea formation.
Since the days of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea coaches have rarely strayed from the 4-3-3, a system that helped the club to two titles during his tenure. Carlo Ancelotti enjoyed success with the diamond formation, but Villas-Boas, who took over from the Italian in June 2011, is an advocate of 4-3-3.
In goal, Petr Cech is the undisputed number one and has been the club's first-choice since joining from Rennes in 2004.
4: DefenseJose Bosingwa or Branislav Ivanovic usually occupy the right-back slot. The pair have entirely different strengths, with Bosingwa uncomfortable when on the back foot, and Ivanovic more at ease with his defensive duties. The Portugal international is a better attacking option than Ivanovic, though the Serbian, who can also play in the center, is hard to stop when in full flow. Paulo Ferreira can also play at right-back, but has never really lived up to expectations in a Blues shirt.
In the center, captain and club stalwart John Terry is partnered by either David Luiz or Alex. Luiz is one of the best attacking central defenders in world soccer, and there are few more adept at dribbling the ball out of defense. Luiz can be rash, however, where as Alex is usually a picture of calm when selected by Villas-Boas. He also possesses a kick like a mule when given free-kick duties.
At left-back, Ashley Cole is the undisputed first-choice, having provided years of service for Arsenal, England and Chelsea. Still one of the best attacking full-backs in the Premier League, Cole is equally comfortable when on the defensive. Ferreira can also play at left-back if called upon, while young Ryan Bertrand is another option.
3: MidfieldVillas-Boas likes to play one holding midfielder, with Jon Obi Mikel, Oriol Romeu or Michael Essien all comfortable in that position. Essien can also play in a more advanced midfield role. Raul Meireles, Frank Lampard and Ramires are all given license to go forward, and all get regular games, with Chelsea involved on four fronts for much of the season. Josh McEachran is another option for Villas-Boas and is considered one of English soccer's hottest prospects.
3: AttackIn attack, Juan Mata, signed from Valencia in August 2011, is a regular, and can play either left or right of the central striker. If Florent Malouda is selected, Mata is more likely to feature on the right, with left being the Frenchman's preferred position. Daniel Sturridge and Nicolas Anelka, meanwhile, are two strikers comfortable in a front three because they can work effectively on the right of the attack and in the center.
With Didier Drogba and US$80 million striker Fernando Torres on the books, Anelka and Sturridge, more often than not, are deployed out wide. Drogba is the old fashioned center forward who leads the line and holds up the ball, while Torres prefers to use his pace and run on to through balls.
Salomon Kalou is another player who regularly features out wide in a front three, while Romelu Lukaku is seen as the eventual successor to Drogba at the point of the attack.

More Records Fall in Ruston
April 7, 2012
RUSTON, La. - Two more school records fell Saturday at the Louisiana Tech Invitational Saturday afternoon in Ruston, La. The Stephen F. Austin men's and women's track and field teams have now recorded school records in every meet during the 2012 indoor and outdoor seasons but one.
SFA recorded new benchmarks in the women's 400-meter dash and the women's 1,600-meter relay. In addition to the records, the SFA men and women added nine individual championships and two relay titles.
Senior Mary Dickerson was a part of both school records clocking a time of 53.46 to win the women's 400 meters, and then returned to the track to team up with Paige McCutcheon, Lauren Watts and Brarsheyia Simpson to clock a time of 3:38.96 in the 4x400-meter relay.
Freshman Cierra Jefferson added a title in the 800 meters with her time of 2:18.66. Classmate Ashley Burris posted the top time in the 400-meter hurdles to capture the win (1:00.24).
The Lumberjacks added three titles on the track. Freshman Glenn McQuinney won the men's 400 meters with his time of 47.49, edging out teammate Torin Crowder (47.54). McQuinney was also a member of the 'Jacks' 4x400-meter relay team that clocked a time of 3:10.11 to win the event. McQuinney teamed up with freshman Jontel Goff, Crowder and sophomore Cass Brown to win the relay event.
SFA combined for four victories in the field events. Freshmen Melai Carter and Ashley Gadson each cleared a height of 5-7.00 in the high jump to tie for the event title. Junior Kelli Hermes won the women's triple jump with a mark of 40-5-50, while freshman La'Tricia Griffin won the hammer throw (136-6).
On the men's side, junior Andrew Plentl won the men's high jump by clearing a height of 6-6.00. Sophomore Clint Harris finished third in two events but was the top collegiate finisher in both. Harris recorded a throw of 169-8 in the discus and 164-7 in the hammer throw.

After a late interception ended High's upset chances of then-undefeated Hazelwood Central High in last year's state championship semifinal game, Durron Neal was almost inconsolable.
The De Smet superstar wide receiver/running back/kick returner/and defensive back, had just played one of the most incredible games any area performer ever had, but it was an off-target pass that a Central corralled by a Central defender which ended the Spartans' season.
"I've been thinking about that for a whole year," Neal said. "We've all been thinking about it, and working this whole offseason, because we knew we we're going to play them again. And we wanted to be ready."
And boy were they ever, as De Smet completely dismantled Hazelwood Central, holding the Hawks to just 53 total yards and three first downs Friday night at LaBarge Stadium, in a dominating 28-0 win for the Spartans.
"I feel very good obviously," De Smet head coach Pat Mahoney said. "Anytime you beat Hazelwood Central by 28 points you feel very good. Just like every first game we had a lot of bumps and a lot of personnel issues. It's good to have them now, and especially in a win."
And Neal, considered the No. 1 player in the area and one of the top wide receivers in the country, was a key factor in the Spartan victory, scoring three touchdowns to break open what was a closely contested game otherwise.
"He's a great player, and he made some great plays against us," Hazelwood Central coach Van Vanatta said. "But we really just made too many mistakes. A couple of blown assignments here, we blew a coverage on the touchdown. If we don't make those mistakes, it wouldn't have been a 28-to-nothing game."
Neither team could score or even move the ball much in the first quarter, but Neal and quarterback Conner Harrison hooked up early in the second to give De Smet the lead.
Harrison floated a pass deep into the endzone that seemed destined to be intercepted by Central's Matt Quarrells.
But Neal somehow managed to maneuver around Quarrells, leaped high into the air and brought down what became a spectacular 23-yard touchdown catch for the Spartans.
"I told (Harrison) anytime you're in trouble just look up and I'm going to get it," Neal said with a smile. "I'm going to get it for you and I'm going to save you. I'm going to make you look good."
A couple minutes later, Harrison hooked up with James Placht on another 23-yard scoring strike that gave De Smet a 14-0 halftime lead.
The backbreaker though for Central, was Neal's 27-yard score midway through the third quarter.
The 6'1, 195-pounder broke free on a corner route and hauled in a Harrison pass between two defenders.
But when the Central secondary converged on Neal, he spun away from two defenders, broke free from a third, and dove across the goalline before another pair of Hawks could bring him down.
"There's a reason why he's rated so high," Mahoney said. "He's an unbelievable player and he does some unbelievable things sometimes."
Neal capped his night with a 10-yard touchdown run late in the third, that along with teammate Thomas Kalish's fourth successful PAT gave De Smet its final 28-0 edge.
Next week, the Spartans will be on the road, taking on Hazelwood East High, on Saturday, September 3.
The Hawks will also play on Saturday next week, they'll be hosting their first home game of the year, against .
Both of those Saturday games are slated for 1 p.m. kickoffs.
