 Whirlpool Ups Ante Again   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Whirlpool boosted its offer to $18 a share last month and $20 on Monday, but it still hasn't won any agreement from Maytag management.
Whirlpool's rising offer, featuring a $120 million breakup fee if the deal doesn't pass regulatory muster, appears to be aimed at assuaging the fears of Maytag management that a merger wouldn't pass muster with antitrust authorities.
Whirlpool's offer now features a 50% premium to the Ripplewood deal, but concerns about antitrust issues and the speed with which Whirlpool could close the deal continue to hang over the bid.

 Multiwavelength Messier 51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy
The "Whirlpool Galaxy" (Messier 51) is a splendid example of a face-on spiral galaxy gravitationally interacting with a smaller companion galaxy.
The spectacular spiral galaxy is also commonly known as NGC 5194, and the smaller companion as NGC 5195, and both are found in the constellation of Canes Venatici.
The companion galaxy, which is classified as an irregular galaxy, lacks the well-defined structure of a spiral galaxy and appears "attached" to the end of a spiral arm in the "Whirlpool Galaxy".

 Messier Object 51
The famous Whirlpool galaxy M51 was one of Charles Messier's original discoveries: He discovered it on October 13, 1773, when observing a comet, and described it as a "very faint nebula, without stars" which is difficult to see.
Its companion, NGC 5195, was discovered in 1781 by his friend, Pierre Méchain, so that it is mentioned in Messier's 1784 catalog: `It is double, each has a bright center, which are separated 4'35".
Newer HST investigations (published 2001) focus on investigation of the inner spiral arms and dust clouds, which are the birth sites of massive and luminous stars.
