I notice that the SDLI merger spread is about 24%. I'm surprised that there have not been rumours or news tidbits out there affecting the volatility of the spread. It seemed the ETEK merger had twists and turns throughout the ordeal. I suspect the vacation season and the fact that the DOJ's new found familiarity with the sector through the ETEK experience has contributed greatly in this regard. Let's see what September brings.

OT you forgot to serve this up with a nice warm cup of java!:-) Just got back from my first java run. But, last night was crazy. At 3:30 a.m. I still wasn't sleepy and I hadn't had any caffeine and only one glass of wine earlier in the evening. I'm blaming it on the full moon. :) Tonight I'm going to see a special showing of "The Soong Sisters," a documentary of the sisters who marriages marked modern Chinese history: sdaff.org The Soong Sisters opens with the lines: "Once upon a time in distant China, there were three sisters. One loved money, one loved power, and one loved her country." If one family can be said to symbolize recent Chinese history, it's the Soongs. The Soong sisters of the title married key political and industrial players --- Ching-ling to Sun Yat-sen, founder of Republican China; May-ling to Chiang Kai-shek, Sun's successor; and eldest daughter Ai-ling to H.H. Kung, a future finance minister who later fled to Hong Kong. Should be interesting. Pat
