No Halloween mission is complete without Bot's costume.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print and cut out the Bot Costume Templates. Trace the mask shape onto the cardboard and cut it out. Trace the templates onto the different colored felt pieces. Trace the mask template onto green felt; the mouth piece onto blue felt; the opening on the mouth onto black felt; the antenna cone onto green felt and antenna base onto yellow felt. Cut out all the traced pieces of felt.
Glue the green piece onto to the cardboard. Next, attach the elastic string on either side of the opening, adjusting the length to fit your child's head. Glue the blue and black mouth pieces to the front. Glue the antenna pieces to the straw. Next, glue the straw to the back of the cardboard mask. Reinforce the straw with more cardboard if necessary. Set aside.
Print out the Belly Screen. Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Print either the reversed or non-reversed image depending on the type of your iron-on transfer paper. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image. Kids can definitely help with this part!
Lastly, make the boot covers. These are covers that these slip over your child's actual shoes, and you can adjust the length as needed. Trace the Bot Boot templates onto green felt. Trace the Boot Sole template onto blue felt. Glue the boots together along the edge of the front only, starting at the front base of the toe and stopping at the top. Add the Boot Sole. For the back closure, apply 2 velcro pieces. Slip over your child's shoes, then do up the closure in the back. The bottom of the soles remain open, and your child is actually walking on his own shoe's soles.

Residents of New Town turned out for a prayer service to mourn the deaths of four people slain in their home in the Fort Berthold Reservation community over the weekend.
Clinical psychologist Bob Edwards traveled from Minot for the Monday night service to help people cope with the Sunday deaths of 64-year-old Martha Johnson and three of her grandchildren. He tells the Minot Daily News that people want peace and safety back in their lives.
Authorities are investigating a New Town man who committed suicide in nearby Parshall later Sunday as a person of interest in the case.
School classes in New Town were canceled Monday but were resuming Tuesday. Superintendent Marc Bluestone says additional counselors and clergy were called in to help students and staff cope.

New and Emerging Selling Model
Meredith Ressi, President, Manhattan Research; previously Chief Operating Officer, Integrated Wellness Solutions; member, POZEN Digital Advisory Board
One of the biggest challenges we at Manhattan Research see our Big Pharma clients facing is how to evolve their commercialization models to adapt to how healthcare is delivered today. The traditional pharma commercialization model was developed in a different era. Over the last decade, there was a 25 percent decline in new drug launches in the United States. Additionally, many compounds in development are more-targeted therapies that are applicable to a smaller group of patients. With the pharma industry moving away from blockbuster drugs, the approach of marketing products through mass-market media such as television ads or large-scale sales forces will be less feasible in the years ahead.
The current model for promoting prescription drugs to physicians was developed in a time when sales force representatives were one of the only methods available to reach physicians, in addition to direct mailings and conferences. For today's physician, personal selling is, in many ways, at odds with the busy workday of physicians and their evolving information and service needs. In our research with physicians, one resounding sentiment across specialties is how incredibly busy they are and how they need help being more time efficient in their practices so they have more time to devote to patient care. The army of reps in the waiting room – each with their "three points and a close"—is just not what these busy physicians need today. The pharma industry must to evolve its selling approach to best align with the changing behaviors of physicians.
Luckily, digital channels have created more opportunities for companies to reach physicians more conveniently and on the physicians' terms, as well as for engaging them and meeting the new needs of today's busy doctors. Although sales force representatives' visits and time spent with physicians are declining, physician's professional digital access time surged by an average of three hours per week between 2010 and 2011. Eighty-one percent of physicians own a smartphone, and 30 percent own a tablet device. These devices are being used throughout the day to access information on-the-go and, as a result, are changing physicians' expectations for interacting with content. Physicians, as tech-savvy consumers themselves, are able to, for example, tweet JetBlue to change a flight, yet the service infrastructure of most pharmaceutical companies is not designed to be sufficiently responsive to physicians' expectations and needs.
For most companies, it is a real struggle to rethink marketing and sales strategy from within the confines of their organizational structures and the degree to which these tactics are entrenched as the way things have always been done. POZEN is in an enviable position of being able to ask, "What is the ideal business model for taking a product to market in today's landscape?" – a question most large pharmaceutical companies are not able to swiftly address.

LODI - Transportation officials are warning motorists to steer clear of Highway 12 west of Lodi next week.
Major maintenance work will close the major thoroughfare between Interstate 5 and Rio Vista for daytime work.
The closure will take place from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., from June 4 through June 6 .
The full closure of the road means the work can get done sooner, according to the California Department of Transportation.
Closing the road to one-way traffic would cause 90-minute delays and stretch out the construction over 15 days, according to Caltrans.
The transportation agency recommends motorists, especially truck drivers, to use Interstates 5 and 80 to get around the closure.
There will be detour signs to take drivers on a 30-mile, 45-minute route along Highway 160 and Walnut Grove Road.
Residents and emergency services will still have access to Highway 12 during the construction.

The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday concurred with an investigation by Mexican authorities which found negligence on the part of the owner and crew of the Erik, a fishing boat that sank in the Sea of Cortez on July 3, 2011, resulting in the deaths of eight Northern California men.
"I applaud your ongoing efforts to hold the master and crew of the Erik accountable for their actions," read a cover letter to the Coast Guard review on which the names of the author and recipient were redacted.
"That doesn't bring them back," said a sobbing Elsie Wong, of Berkeley, whose husband Brian Wong perished in the accident.
Forty-three people, 27 of them U.S. passengers, were aboard the Erik when it departed the Port of San Felipe on July 2, 2011, on a recreational fishing trip. The ship sank in stormy weather at approximately 1:30-2:30 a.m. the next morning.
Eight passengers, all Americans, were lost. The body of Leslie Yee, of Ceres, has been recovered and identified. The other men are Al Mein, of Twain Harte; Don Lee, of San Ramon; Gene Leong, of Dublin; Brian Wong, of Berkeley; Shawn Chaddock, of Petaluma; Russell Bautista, of Penngrove, and Mark Dorland, of Twain Harte. Some remains have been found at the wreck site.
Specifically the Coast Guard agreed with the findings by Mexico's Secretary of Communications and Transportation that:
Major modifications to the Erik changed the vessel's "stability calculations" and "watertight integrity."
The "master and the crew failed to properly provide a safety orientation to the passengers."
No abandon ship plan was executed when it was obvious the ship was compromised.
The vessel sank "due to loss of buoyancy and stability."
And "the Captain of the Port San Felipe failed to apply its jurisdiction to verify compliance for all major modifications on the ... Erik."
The Coast Guard cover letter commended the Mexican investigation, which was completed in early March, for having "a significant impact for the increased safety of passengers aboard Mexican passenger vessels."

South Korea Flirts With Another Power Disaster
South Korea set a new record for power consumption on Wednesday, the third consecutive day of very cold temperatures and busiest work-wise after the lead-in and celebration of Christmas.
And the country's energy monitors were forced to warn that power outages might occur because demand had surpassed the limit that the government considers safe.
Demand hit 76.58 million kilowatts at 11:01 a.m., surpassing the record of 75.17 million kilowatts that was set eight days ago on Dec. 18. South Korea had 79.16 million kilowatts of power available.
The Korea Power Exchange, which monitors supply and demand, makes the information available in real time on its Web site in Korean here and in English here.
Wednesday's demand peak was higher than the energy consumed on Sept. 15, 2011, when the government resorted to rolling blackouts for several hours because an unusual surge of late summer heat propelled demand for air conditioners.
On that day, electricity demand peaked at 67.3 million kilowatts. But the country had supply of just over 70 million kilowatts, a figure that was later revised downward to 67.5 million kilowatts, meaning South Korea came dangerously close to a total blackout.
That near-disaster led to the resignation of the country's commerce minister, who is in charge of energy issues, and sharp criticism from President Lee Myung-bak.
On Wednesday, South Korea's energy supply amounted to 79.2 million kilowatts. And the peak level of consumption went into the 4 million kilowatts that government officials designate should be held as a reserve.
This time, however, they did not resort to rolling blackouts.
Why do extreme weather days bring South Korea to the brink of its energy supply? In other words, why doesn't the country comfortably have enough power to meet its needs even in extreme conditions?
A government spokesman said Wednesday afternoon there are currently no supply constraints. All the power plants that South Korea has are running normally. In September 2011, the consumption problem was worsened by the fact that some power plants had been shut down for maintenance.
With nothing to be done on the supply side in the short term, South Korea can only work on demand. So far, that has mainly meant government officials penalizing themselves with thermostat settings that leave their offices cold in the winters and sweltering in the summers. And they occasionally go on a propaganda campaign urging shopping malls, office buildings and others to conserve.
No one, however, has tackled the harder work of ending government subsidies of energy consumption, which distort users' perceptions about the cost of energy.
Power subsidies are a glaring example of a practice from South Korea's days as a developing country that now harms it as a developed country. But politicians can't muster the will to change them.
That's partly because some of the biggest beneficiaries of such subsidies are farmers, who get about 70% to 80% of their electricity paid for by the government — or really the taxpayer. The subsidies extend even to the big factories run by South Korea's largest and most profitable companies. Firms making billions of dollars in annual profit get around 10% of their electricity in their factories paid for by the government and taxpayer, one of the hidden sides of Korea Inc. in action.
As long as market signals are warped, South Korea will never get around to making the proper investments in conservation methods and technologies.
And it will continue to flirt with disaster on days like Wednesday.
With temperatures expected to warm up on Thursday and through the weekend, South Korea's power consumption may not reach levels that raise the specter of blackouts. But another trip into the deep freeze — with low temperatures from -10 to -15 Celsius, or about 14 to 5 Fahrenheit — is forecast for the country next Wednesday and Thursday.

You�ve probably heard the term �paraben-free� tossed around in relation to beauty and grooming products. And if you have, you know it�s a good thing since people are touting it left, right and center. You might still be wondering, though: What are parabens, and why should I care about them? Parabens�methylparaben, propylparaben, isoparaben and butylparaben, as they appear on the ingredient label�are one of the most widely used preservatives in beauty products, and can be found in everything from moisturizers to makeup. While the Food and Drug Administration, which largely does not regulate cosmetic ingredients, does not believe that there is a need for consumers to be concerned about parabens in grooming products, some studies have shown that these chemicals may disrupt normal hormone function and increase the risk of breast cancer. We�d rather not take the chance�how about you? Here are five of our favorite paraben-free shampoos that offer up lots of other great hair benefits, too.

A SMALL village primary school has been heavily criticised by the education watchdog.
St Nicholas CofE School in East Challow, near Wantage, was rated 'inadequate' across the board by inspectors from Ofsted after a two-day visit in April.
It has now been put in special measures after inspectors found both the teaching quality and pupils' achievement poor.
The report, published on Friday, also said pupils did not always feel safe at school and lessons were often disrupted.
The school recently had teachers from King Alfred's Academy in Wantage come in and help out.
Lead inspector Mike Capper said in his report: "Leaders at all levels have not brought about sufficient improvement in the school's performance."
He said despite extensive help from the local authority and King Alfred's, the school's efforts to improve teaching had had a limited effect.
In a statement, headteacher Margaret Kelly and chairman of governors Yvette Ford said the report was "very disappointing" but it should not take long to make significant improvements.
They said: "The school is committed to respond to this Ofsted report with focus and determination, to ensure that all pupils achieve their potential and make the progress they should."
Simon Spiers, head of King Alfred's Academy, speaking for the Wantage Area Schools Partnership, said: "I think everyone connected with the school is obviously very disappointed with the outcome.
"King Alfred's has been supporting the school over the recent months and will continue to offer support at every level to help bring about improvements for the children over the coming years."
Ofsted grades schools either outstanding, good, satisfactory or inadequate. An inspection of the Sarajac Avenue school in December 2008 rated it as satisfactory, as did a report in 2005.
Melinda Tilley, cabinet member for schools at Oxfordshire County Council, said: "The council is already working with the school on the issues raised in this Ofsted report recognising the need for swift improvements."
There are 84 pupils at the school.
In 2009, the school benefited from £500,000 of county council cash in a renovation project with work creating bigger classrooms and a special needs facility.
Millbrook Primary School in Grove was also rated 'inadequate' in a recent inspection and issued with a notice to improve.

Dean's Message
"It's not a Parsons 'look' we are after. The world is too big for that," says Simon Collins, dean of the School of Fashion. "We are striving for a design philosophy in which we ask our students and ourselves never to settle, but to evolve and question—to learn about issues like sustainability and understand why they are relevant. Our students discover what is special about their talent, and then we prepare them to go out into the world to learn more."
A seasoned creative director with over 20 years of experience, Collins worked with brands ranging from Polo Ralph Lauren to Fila, Zegna, and Marks and Spencer. Most recently he directed Nike's Asia Pacific division, a $900-million apparel business. Yet on his appointment to dean of Parsons' School of Fashion in 2008 he says, "I felt like my whole career was preparation for this. It's my job to be the brand guardian and connect Parsons to the fashion industry at every level all over the globe. I know what the industry needs, what students know and don't know, and what is required to train them."
Increasingly, the school draws on connections with other areas of study at Parsons and The New School, from the social sciences to business, marketing, media, technology, and sustainability. "Fashion isn't created in isolation," says Collins. "Young designers need to learn to collaborate across the lines of traditional disciplines and work with a global perspective."

It's impossible to go wrong with layers of graham, chocolate, and marshmallow. Broiling the gooey top creates an irresistible golden crown that crackles each time the pie is sliced.
Leave a Review
Perfect pie, with a couple of minor tweaks: 1: I used half milk-, and half semi-sweet chocolate instead of the all-milk chocolate the recipe asks for. 2: chill the crust as described, then toast it in the 350°F oven for 5 minutes until it ever-so-slightly colors around the edges. This makes the crust much crispier, and a lot more flavorful.
Quite possibly the best dessert I have ever eaten. Used marshmallow fluff and browned the top for a nice contrast in texture, and made the chocolate ganache with half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet and it was plenty rich!
I followed what others have said and skipped the marshmallow topic--opted to top it with a layer of mini marshmallows and then broil it. It added a nice crunchy texture that complemented the smooth creamy chocolate filling. I also opted to use a store bought crust--I imagine it would have been a bit more tasty with the homemade crust, but I was in a rush. It got good reviews at a small dinner party.
4 forks because everytime I make this it's gobbled up. I made this the first time for Thanksgiving. I attempted to MAKE the marshmallow and gave up - it was way too time consuming. Talk about a bad ROI. Instead went to mini marshmallows and just broiled them. Turned out wonderful. The second time I made it, I melted the marshmallows in a double boiler first. This made it difficult to pour over the pie before broiling it. The third time I made it, I went back to just marshmallows on top. It's definitely worth the effort.
I totally cheated with this recipe. I used 1/2 milk, 1/2 dark chocolate. I used a pre-made graham crust and mini marshmallows instead of making the marshmallow topping (if added as soon as the pie comes out of the oven, they melt to cover). I used a brulee torch instead of broiling. Even after all these alterations, the pie was fantastic! My family LOVED it, and ask me often when I will make it again.
I made this for a pot-luck dinner as I was in charge of dessert. My girlfriends LOVED it and I have to admit I enjoyed it as well, however nex time I would do 1/2 milk chcolate, 1/2 dark chocolate, as it was a little too rich for me (and I LOVE chocolate). I used pre-made graham cracker crust but I layered some extra pieces of graham crackers on the bottom because I just love that flavor. I also used the mini-marshmallows shorcut and it turned out great. I waitied until right before I was ready to serve the pie and broiled the top so it didn't harden. Turned out great and with all the shortcuts, it was super easy!
this tasted really good but I would def make some changes. 1st I would use hershey bars for the chocolate (just like a real smore). I would toast the marshmallow with a mini torch (like for creme brulee). Finally, I would NOT refrigerate. The filling gets way too hard and cold - unlike real smores.
I made this for Christmas dinner and overall it was very good. The crust is excellent and very, very easy. The best graham cracker crust I've had so far. In fact, everything about this recipe was easy, and I didn't have any trouble with the marshmallow topping like some other reviewers. I do agree that I would make changes to the chocolate filling as 1) it was too thick compared to the other layers and 2) it wasn't sweet enough. I mean, it tastes really good, but not like the chocolate you'd use in smores. I do plan on making this again though! It was a total hit.
Wish I had read these reviews before tackling. I used 70% cacao and it was just too bitter (and I like dark chocolate). Also, I made the marshmallow topping twice and couldn't figure out how NOT to have it turn into hard candy as soon as the beaters touched it. Now I know to cook to 240 instead of 260 as the recipe calls for. Having said that, what topping I was able to save I really liked. Will try this again using a combination of bitter and milk chocolate and removing the topping from the heat at soft ball stage.
If I could enter a rating for each layer I would have to give the fluff topping a negative rating. Now I admit to trying to make it by substituting (once with org. corn syrup, once with rice syrup, both times with vegan thickener). Both were a BOMB. But having said that, the chocolate layer and the cookie crust (made with wheat-free animal cookies) were great! Next time I am putting peanut butter pudding and whipped cream on instead of that fluff layer.

Tax Code Gibberish
Published: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12:07 a.m.
There is a lot of political gibberish being uttered, printed and spun about tax cuts involved in the fiscal cliff so-called negotiations. There are no tax cuts being discussed (too bad).
We have been under the same tax code, legislation and rates for 11 years. The only discussion regards who might have their taxes raised, by how much and how, if the laws are changed.
Continuing any of the present tax rates is not a cut. Just like raising a federal department's budget by 4 percent instead of a desired 8 percent is not a cut.

An infant in Russia came thisclose to getting crush beneath the wheels of a truck after being tossed onto the icy pavement following a collision between her family's Mitsubishi and a big rig.
Baby Milana is lucky to be alive, as dash-cam footage of the harrowing accident on a highway near Nizhny Novgorod clearly shows.
But the one-year-old still suffered several facial lacerations and contusions, and was also being evaluated for head trauma.
Officers investigating the crash noted that Milana was not properly secured in a car seat, but was instead "just laying" in the back of the car.

On January 19, 1919 at 5pm in a ballroom of the Suvretta House Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Vaslav Nijinsky danced publicly for the last time. He called this performance his "Wedding with God." My ballet Nijinsky begins with a realistic recreation of this situation. The choreography which follows, however, visualizes his thoughts, memories, and hallucinations during this last performance.
—John Neumeier
Prompted by the imagined appearance of his former mentor, impresario, and lover, Serge de Diaghilev, Nijinsky recalls images of his sensational career with the Ballets Russes. Dancers (as aspects of his personality) perform fragments from his most famous roles. Harlequin, the Poet in Les Sylphides, the Golden Slave in Scheherazade, and the Spectre de la rose merge and mingle with characters from his private life.
His sister Bronislava (later a choreographer), his older brother Stanislav (trained also to be a dancer, but marked from childhood by signs of madness), and his mother, the dancer Eleonora Bereda, who, along with his father Thomas, were the children's first teachers, also appear in his dreamlike fantasy.
In another scene of the ballet, Nijinsky remembers his search for a new choreographic language. His experiments with movement result in his own original ballets, including L'Après-midi d'un faune, Jeux, The Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps), and later, Till Eulenspiegel.
A woman in red, Romola de Pulsky, who will later become Nijinsky's wife, crisscrosses his confused recollections. He relives their first encounter on a ship to South America and their abrupt marriage; an event causing the ultimate break with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes.
Nijinsky's madness drives him more and more inside himself. Memories of childhood, family, school, and the Mariinsky Theatre blend with nightmare visions of World War I—and his wife's infidelity. The scandalous premiere of his ballet Le Sacre du printemps appears juxtaposed with the brutality of World War I and his brother Stanislav's death. Romola is with him through difficult and bad times.
In Nijinsky's eyes, it is the world around him—not Nijinsky himself—that has gone mad…
The Suvretta House performance, and my ballet, end with Nijinsky's last dance: the War.
—John Neumeier

WASHINGTON (February 13, 2013)--President Barack Obama set the stage for high-stakes clashes in Congress over guns, immigration, taxes and climate change in a State of the Union address that showcased a newly re-elected president determined to mark his legacy in spite of Republicans eager to rein him in.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday on the floor of the chamber that Mr. Obama's address could have been "an opportunity to bring together the country," but instead it "became another retread of lip service and liberalism."
McConnell said the president offered little more than "gimmicks and tax hikes."
He described the speech as "a pedestrian liberal boilerplate that any Democratic lawmaker could have given at any time in recent history."
Mr. Obama pushed a raft of new initiatives in his speech Tuesday night including initiatives to improve preschool programs and voting, boost manufacturing and research and development, raise the minimum wage and lower energy use.
He urged a divided Congress to boost job creation and strengthen the middle class through a package of government-backed proposals, calling for an increase in the federal minimum wage, spending more to fix the nation's roads and bridges, and expanding early childhood education.
The president also pledged to cut the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan in half within a year.
Mr. Obama says his proposals would not increase the deficit "by a single dime," but with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, he is pressing a progressive case for Washington's role in reigniting the economy.
Republicans who control the House and hold enough votes to stall legislation in the Senate were quick to declare that the government helps best when it gets out of the way.
They say Mr. Obama's second-term agenda will mean more tax increases and increase deficit spending and they're vowing to promote economic growth to help middle-class families find good jobs.
They responded to the State of the Union address with fresh appeals to voters on the economy and promises to rein in federal spending with a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who delivered the GOP response, said Mr. Obama should "abandon his obsession with raising taxes."
Rubio's Republican response included an impromptu water break to quench his thirst.
Rubio appeared to wipe away sweat during his rebuttal from the Speaker's conference room in the U.S. Capitol shortly after Mr. Obama's address and at one point, Rubio reached out with his left hand and took a quick swig of water from a small Poland Spring water bottle.
The brief sip of water lit up social media outlets such as Twitter, with people commenting on Rubio's thirst.
Rubio later tweeted a photo of the water bottle.

For those of us who are directionally challenged, finding our way around, especially in a hospital with its array of corridors and multiple points of entry and exit, can truly be a challenge. Already somewhat overwhelmed by the prospect of some invasive medical procedure being performed upon us by complete strangers, when we, the habitually lost, walk into the lobby of an unfamiliar hospital, the thing we need most is the reassurance of a friendly face. Those anticipating a visit to Pershing Memorial Hospital can rest assured that, thanks to Beth Siddens and the other 'Blue Ladies' of the Pershing Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, they will be greeted warmly and with a willingness to help. Known as the Pink Ladies for many years after Pershing Memorial Hospital was first constructed in 1959, this once all-female cadre of volunteers has more recently changed the color of their smocks to blue and their attitude toward male volunteers to acceptance.
"You can always tell when someone's lost; the remodeling has messed with more than a few," says Siddens who volunteers as a one-woman welcome wagon in the lobby of Pershing Memorial. "We do the little things in the hope they'll make a big difference for patients and other visitors." Whether it's an aspirin for a visitor's headache or a get-well greeting card for a loved one, Siddens and the other 37 Pershing Auxiliary volunteers who work at the front desk or in the nearby Gift Shop provide unbudgeted services that are invaluable to Pershing Memorial Hospital. And being in the front lobby to greet visitors or in the Gift Shop to generate revenue for the benefit of the hospital aren't the only volunteer services the ladies and gentlemen of the Pershing Memorial Hospital Auxiliary provide. They also help during the gastrointestinal (GI), heart, orthopedic, and vision clinics the hospital periodically hosts.
Pershing Memorial Hospital Auxiliary (PMHA) Board President-Elect Mary Beth Kelley explains, "We may clean and make beds, push wheelchairs to get patients needing them where they need to go, raise funds for college scholarships or equipment, or perform some other service that doesn't necessarily require a degree, license or certification." The Auxiliary generates revenue for medical school scholarships and equipment like the pediatric crash cart in the emergency room by selling items in the Gift Shop and holding book fairs.
"We see a need and try and help meet it," says outgoing PMHA Board President Marilyn Holloway. "A couple of years ago, the ER had a crash cart, but not one that was a suitable size for a child, so we provided funds to purchase a smaller one." Last year, the PMHA provided 12 college scholarships for local students intending to enter the medical field.

Stocks to Watch: Best Buy, Clearwire, CVS Caremark
By Anna Prior
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are Best Buy Inc. (BBY) Clearwire (CLWR) and CVS Caremark (CVS).
Founder Richard Schulze will make a fully financed bid for electronics retailer Best Buy by the end of this week and possibly on Friday, The Star-Tribune reported Thursday, citing a person with knowledge of the matter. The formal offer of $5 billion to $6 billion is expected before a "hard" deadline of Sunday. Best Buy representatives weren't immediately available for comment. Shares jumped 17% to $14.25 premarket.
Sprint Nextel (S) offered to acquire the 49% of Clearwire it doesn't already own in a deal that values the company at about $2 billion, according to paperwork it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Earlier this week, several media outlets reported Sprint was in advanced talks to acquire the rest of Clearwire. According to the SEC filing, Sprint's board on Wednesday authorized its management to proceed with discussions with Clearwire to reach an acquisition deal, proposing a purchase price of $2.90 a share, a 5.5% premium over Clearwire's Wednesday closing price. Clearwire shares rose 13% to $3.10 premarket.
CVS expects 2013 profit to grow about this year's anticipated level, a target that also exceeded Wall Street's expectations, as the company concurrently announced a 38% increase to its quarterly dividend. Shares rose 4.4% to $49.65 premarket.
Boston Beer (SAM) raised its full-year earnings target for 2012, an increase the Sam Adams brewer attributed to stronger shipments, as depletion of the products sold by distributors and wholesalers has risen above expectations. Shares jumped 14% to $130 premarket.
PhotoMedex (PHMD) raised its fourth-quarter revenue forecast amid higher-than-expected sales in its consumer segment, which the company attributed to a strong response to its holiday advertising. Shares of PhotoMedex, whose products address skin problems such as psoriasis and acne, were up 6.3% to $14.53 in premarket trading.
Endo Health Solutions (ENDP) said it may miss its full-year earnings expectations and doesn't expect to meet its prior 2013 guidance, as the pharmaceutical company also disclosed its President and Chief Executive David P. Holveck will retire next year. Shares were down 5.6% at $26.05 in premarket trading.
Holding company Harbinger Group (HRG) said certain shareholders affiliated with Harbinger Capital Partners, which currently control a majority stake in the company, are offering an undisclosed number of shares. Harbinger Group won't receive any proceeds from the offering. Shares fell 19% to $8.31 in premarket trading.
Rigel Pharmaceuticals (RIGL) shares dropped 30% to $5.91 premarket as AstraZeneca(AZN, AZN.LN) announced top-line results for a Phase IIb study of fostamatinib, a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment failed to meet one of two primary objectives. AstraZeneca and Rigel announced a worldwide license agreement in Feb. 2010, whereby AstraZeneca will develop and commercialize fostamatinib.
Regal-Beloit (RBC) has launched an offering of 2.75 million shares, priced at $67 a share, and expects to use the proceeds for general purposes that may include acquisitions. The electric-motor maker recently had around 41.8 million shares outstanding. Shares fell 3.9% in premarket trading to $67.50.
Oncolytics Biotech (ONCY) said a Phase III study of its head and neck cancer treatment showed the treatment–Reolysin in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel–was statistically significantly better than carboplatin and placlitaxel alone at shrinking metastatic turmors. Shares popped 34% to $2.90 premarket.

SANTA CLARA -- Cornerback Eric Wright has failed his physical with the 49ers, voiding last week's trade for him with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"He's not on our team," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed after Monday's training-camp practice for rookies and select veterans.
As a result, the 49ers retain the conditional 2014 draft pick they sent to the Buccaneers, and Wright is expected to be released by the Buccaneers.
Wright, a San Francisco native, had been traded Friday to the 49ers. Shortly thereafter, reports surfaced that Wright had been arrested a second time in a year for suspicion of drunk driving in Los Angeles.
Harbaugh declined to reveal what aspect Wright failed in the physical, nor was Harbaugh willing to discuss whether Wright's DUI arrests played a factor.
"A better guy to talk to is Trent," Harbaugh said in referring the question of Wright's off-field issues to general manager Trent Baalke. "He has a better understanding of the transaction."
Baalke was unavailable for comment.
The 49ers have eight other cornerbacks on their roster, including all five from last season, as well as veteran hopeful Nnamdi Asomugha.

When I grow up I hope I can make my readers laugh as much as you make me laugh. :) I'm hoping to be there but I'll have two kids in tow. You will have enough cupcakes, right? I'm not coming if you don't. Can I bring anything like some caffeine-free Coke or Sprite? Or perhaps some green Jell-O?

Currently I play all my MKVs on my pc fine using CoreAVC codec. I'm looking into a way to watch 1080p mkvs on my hdtv in another room most movies I have are in DTS. I currently dont own a PS3 but I have been wanting one and if I can use it to stream my movies I just might. I cant afford to upgrade my pc and get a PS3 for this to work. I also dont want to lose any audio or video quality of the MKVs. I also dont want to convert the files to PS3 compatible I'm wanting to transcode and stream. Will my setup be able to accomplish this? Also will I still have the full DTS sound going to my reciever or will it have to downgrade?
AMD X2 2.1ghz 4000+ CPU / 1GB ram
100mbit wrt54g router (eithernet is gigabit but not router)
DTS compatible AV reciever

I have a Macbook Pro and a Xbox 360 and jus downloaded PS3 media server, the Xbox port. But I cant get some important functions to work.
- Stream from rar arachives.
- When I open a ISO file I cant choose "play all". There are just some smaller files in the ISO.
Thats about it. How do I get these functions t work?

After 20 years with no quail today we let loose 24 full grown one down about hole 12. Pretty loud today searching for each other but hopefully
you will see or hear them when you come out. Also a pair of teal on the pond with the tame geese don't know if they will stay.
The tall grass to the right on 6 is crp quail mix that is why it can't be mowed hope it keep the quail around. Reset bridge on 1-2 and put new bridge on 2 should make it easier to cross in wet season

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball set a new best for the program on Friday night, winning 6-3 over Stephen F. Austin to clinch the second seed in the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament.
The Islanders (32-21, 17-9 Southland) earned the series win with the victory over SFA (27-27, 14-12 Southland) in the middle game. Trevor Belicek (9-1) earned the victory, pitching 7.0 innings while allowing just two runs on four hits while walking two and striking out five. He allowed just one hit through the first six innings as he pitched another gem. Jacob Dorris came on in the ninth and slammed the door for his 13th save of the season, getting a pair of strikeouts while holding the Lumberjacks scoreless.
Zach Taylor and Cody Stephens did the bulk of the damage with back-to-back hits in the fifth inning that drove in the first four runs of the game. They finished with two RBI each, Taylor on one hit and Stephens on a pair of hits. Stafford Brantley also picked up a pair of hits on the night, while Eric Weiss, Jonathan Gonzales, Brad Porras, Jordan Lee, Brandon Tierney and Brad Lamberti finished with one hit apiece. Tierney and Brantley provided the other two RBI for the Islanders.
The scoring starting in the fifth as Tierney singled and moved to third on a single by Lamberti to put runners on the corners. Lamberti moved up to second on a wild pitch and Brantley walked to load the bases. Taylor followed with a two-RBI double down the left field line to make it 2-0. With Brantley and Taylor in scoring position, Stephens immediately followed with a two-RBI single to center to make it 4-0.
The score remained the same until the top of the sixth, with the Islanders getting a leadoff single by Porras and him moving to second on a single through the right side by Lee. After a pitching change for SFA, the Islanders recorded two straight outs before Brantley came through with an RBI single right side to make it 5-0.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi would add one more in the seventh, plating the run after a pair of errors allowed Stephens and Weiss to reach to leadoff the inning. After a walk was issued to Lee that loaded the bases, Tierney drew a walk of his own to force in Stephens to make it a 6-0 game.
The Lumberjacks added a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh and one in the eighth, but they would get no more as Dorris shut them down in the final frame.
