Hi, I trying to do a M&M candy theme for my computer room. I was thinking of painting ceiling YELLOW, and one wall BLUE, RED ORANGE and GREEN. I can not picture it in my head, I really do not want it to look like a kids room. I have M&M Curtains, that are all the m&M characters . And will be putting up a M&M boarder around top. any way to NOT make it look like a kids room? or maybe using not so many colors? any idea what would be a great help, it does have a patio door and hardwood floor . and the room is 14X12

T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS Announce FCC Approval of Proposed Combination

BONN, Germany & BELLEVUE, Wash. & RICHARDSON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Deutsche Telekom AG(XETRA: DTE; “Deutsche Telekom“), T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) and MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE: PCS; “MetroPCS”) today announced that the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC“) has approved the proposed combination of T-Mobile USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, and MetroPCS.

“The FCC‘s approval marks another significant milestone in bringing our two companies together, and we appreciate the Commission’s timely approval. We look forward to completing the transaction and delivering the significant customer and stockholder benefits that this combination will make possible,” said John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile. “Our combined company will have the products, spectrum, scale and resources to shake up this industry and deliver an entirely new wireless experience.”

“We are pleased with the FCC‘s approval of the proposed transaction,” said Roger D. Linquist, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of MetroPCS. “We thank the FCC for its prompt review of our proposed combination with T-Mobile, which will create the value leader in the United States wireless marketplace.”

On March 5, 2013, MetroPCS announced that the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 had expired. The proposed combination remains subject to the approval of MetroPCS stockholders.

A Special Meeting of MetroPCS stockholders to vote on matters relating to the proposed combination of MetroPCS with T-Mobile has been scheduled for April 12, 2013. MetroPCS stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2013 are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The combination is expected to close shortly after the Special Meeting.

The MetroPCS board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote their shares FOR all of the proposals relating to the proposed combination with T-Mobile by returning the GREEN proxy card they will receive in due course with a “FOR” vote for all proposals. The failure to vote or an abstention has the same effect as a vote against the proposed combination. Because some of the proposals required to close the proposed transaction require at least an affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares, MetroPCS stockholders’ votes are important. If stockholders vote against the proposed combination, there is no assurance that MetroPCS will be able to deliver the same or better stockholder value.

The Company urges stockholders to discard any white proxy cards, which were sent by a dissident stockholder. If a stockholder previously submitted a white proxy card, the Company urges them to cast …read more

TPG-Axon Urges SandRidge Energy Stockholders to Vote before the Deadline to Replace SandRidge's Enti

TPG-Axon Urges SandRidge Energy Stockholders to Vote before the Deadline to Replace SandRidge’s Entire Board of Directors

– Comments on SandRidge Board’s Belated Approval of Its Slate of Independent Director Nominees –

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– TPG-Axon, beneficial owner of 7.3 percent of the outstanding shares of SandRidge Energy, Inc. (NYS: SD) (the “Company”), today urged SandRidge Energy Stockholders to act immediately and return the GREEN consent card in favor of its proposals and director slate in order to meet the March 15, 2013 deadline for submitting the consent.

In addition, TPG-Axon noted that the Company filed an 8K this morning, March, 12, 2013, announcing that the Board has, at long last, approved the independent slate of director nominees.

TPG-Axon stated, “It is frankly embarrassing and unfortunate that it took the Board two months, a lawsuit and a stern ruling by Judge Strine that they may have breached their fiduciary duty, to finally do the right thing for shareholders. This is yet another poor use of shareholder money, a stark example of how the Board has attempted to entrench themselves, and a reason why immediate change is necessary.”

TPG-Axon continued, “The time for change is now. Shareholders should vote their GREEN consent cards immediately before it is too late, and send a message to the Board that they have a duty of loyalty to shareholders.”

TPG-Axon also notes that Tom Ward and the current Board of Directors have failed to adequately address the ongoing strategic and operational deficiencies as well as the serious governance and related party transaction issues that have plagued the Company under their tenure. Furthermore, TPG-Axon cautions stockholders to consider the consequences of the current Board’s plan to spend an amount equal to almost 80 percent of the Company’s entire remaining market capitalization on compensation, overhead, financing costs, and capital expenditures over the next year.

TPG-Axon reiterates its belief that SandRidge is at a critical point and encourages stockholders to come together and vote the GREEN consent card today in favor of its experienced independent director slated to put an end to an era of value destruction at the Company.

For information on TPG-Axon’s proposals and on the process for voting shares in favor of those proposals, go to www.shareholdersforsandridge.com or contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (212) 929-5500.

awk Column difference

Leave a comment

By chrissycc

Hi,

I’ve got what is probably quite an easy little (presumably) awk problem that I just can’t seem to work out (mental block…I’ve already spent ages getting the data into this format!). I want to work out the difference between rows for certain columns. for example:

Code:
1359142876 RED 14 BLUE 3 GREEN 71 BLACK 65
1359135610 RED 13 BLUE 3 GREEN 71 BLACK 65
1359128178 RED 10 BLUE 3 GREEN 68 BLACK 60
1359121257 RED 8 BLUE 3 GREEN 66 BLACK 52
ETC

to

Code:
1359142876 RED 14 BLUE 3 GREEN 71 BLACK 65
1359135610 RED 1 BLUE 0 GREEN 0 BLACK 0
1359128178 RED 3 BLUE 0 GREEN 3 BLACK 5
1359121257 RED 2 BLUE 0 GREEN 2 BLACK 8
ETC

(contents of the first column doesn’t matter).

The other thing is, we don’t know how many columns there will be (could be additional pairs, “PINK 10″ for example).

As always any help would be appreciated

At A Glance Coloured Real Time Bargraph Generator…

Leave a comment

By wisecracker

Not sure if anyone is interested but I am just getting into UNIX like shell scripting…

I have great interest in pseudo-animations in text mode and accessing HW like /dev/dsp for example…

All the information is inside the code and this has been uploaded to code.activestate.com…

Have fun, I do… ;o)

Code:

# !/bin/sh
#
# Bargraph_Generator.sh
#
# A DEMO 6 bit coloured bargraph animation for a default Bash and Terminal window on OSX 10.7.5...
# A simple Shell script to display an _AT_A_GLANCE_ real time analogue bargraph generator. It
# starts off with GREEN for OK, then YELLOW for warning and finally ending with RED for danger
# with a critical beep for values 61 to 63 inclusive.
# It assumes an 8 bit value being injected into the script which is then divided by 4 to give
# a 6 bit value which is 64 spaces width inside the Terminal. The DEMO uses a random number
# generator to give a representation of an 8 bit value so you can see it working...
#
# A shell derivative of my Python code:-
# http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577612-seven-bit-colored-analogue-bar-graph-generator-dem/?in=user-4177147
#
# To run, ensure the script is executable and change if required, then type from a Terminal:-
#
# xxxxx$ /full/path/to/Bargrapth_Generator.sh
#
# And away you go...
#
# Written in such a way that kids and newbies can understand what is going on.
#
# Originally written for a Macbook Pro 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5 using the default Terminal.
# It MIGHT work on some Linux variants but WAS intended for MacOS OSX 10.7.x and above only.
#
# The Terminal colours WILL be changed to Black background and Various foreground colours.
# It will NOT be returned back to its original state although it can be easily. If you
# need to rerturn back to default state then there are a couple of easy methods the
# simplest being type:-
#
# xxxxx$ reset
#
# And all will be corrected...
#
