I haven't really thought about Q4 much. I'd probably guess Q4 diluted EPS for UPG at $0.12 plus or minus $0.03. I think Q1'10 is when UPG could start getting really interesting for two reasons. First, that is when the Energizer products should start adding significantly to the top and bottom line. Secondly, a few conference calls back they stated that the margin improvement resulting from elimination of their supplier agent (middle man) should kick into high gear in Q1'10.
