I have a volume issue with meter 986315 for 1/00 production.  The volume has
been split between El Sordo and Torch Rally.  I think all of the volume
should be under Torch Rally.  Please let me know if you find something
different.  The old months have already been corrected.

Thanks,
Megan

		Bankruptcy

		Back               to Quicklinks

		Issues:  Whether debt was nondischargeable pursuant to o 523(a)(4); Whether
a state court magistrate's decision was a final judgment entitled  to
preclusive effect; Whether the bankruptcy court's findings were  sufficient
to support the conclusion that the debt was nondischargeable
		Court:  Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Sixth Circuit
		Case  Name: In re Thompson
		e-Journal  Number: 10248
		Judge(s):  Howard, Brown, and Morgenstern-Clarren

		The bankruptcy  court erred in giving preclusive effect to the state court
magistrate's  decision in the dischargeability proceeding because there was
no  final, appealable state court judgment entered in the record, which  was
entitled to preclusive effect, and which could serve as a basis  for the
bankruptcy court's decision as to the amount and nature  of the debt. The
bankruptcy court's findings of fact were insufficient  to support the
conclusion that the debt was nondischargeable pursuant  to o 523(a)(4)
because the debtor's conversion amounted to "embezzlement".  The bankruptcy
court's only independent finding from its trial of  the matter did not
address all the elements necessary to establish  nondischargeability for
embezzlement. Reversed and remanded.

		Issues:  Special use permit allowing property owner to operate a business  in
a residential neighborhood; Alleged violations of federal procedural  and
substantive due process rights resulting from issuance of special  use permit
		Court:  U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
		Case  Name: Brody v. City of Mason
		e-Journal  Number: 10245
		Judge(s):  Cohn, Boggs, and Moore

		Since the plaintiffs  were allowed to participate in the special use permit
decision process  and the defendant-city sufficiently considered evidence and
facts  pertaining to the surrounding land before approving the permit and
allowing the parking lot to be paved, the district court did not  err in
finding that plaintiffs' procedural and substantive due process  rights were
not violated. The city granted defendant-McCalla a special  use permit
allowing her to operate a beauty salon in a residential  neighborhood and to
pave the rear yard for parking. Plaintiffs were  neighboring property owners
claiming to have suffered damage caused  by water runoff from the parking
lot. The court concluded that plaintiffs'  argument that they were denied
procedural due process via a meaningful  hearing was unpersuasive and that
they failed to demonstrate that  any actions by the city planning commission,
the zoning board of  appeals, or the zoning administrator was the result of
favoritism  or special treatment. Affirmed.

		Issues:  General rule regarding the liability of property owner and general
contractor for injuries to independent subcontractor's employees;  Three
exceptions to the general rule; Premises liability
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: Nagy v. Consumers Power Co.
		e-Journal  Number: 10222
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam - Whitbeck, McDonald, and Collins

		The trial court  erred in finding that a question of fact existed whether an
exception  applied to the general rule that neither a general contractor nor
a landowner is liable in negligence for injuries to an independent
subcontractor's employees. Two construction workers were killed  and one
injured in a construction site accident where plaintiffs  inexplicably
decided to push their scaffold directly toward overhead  power lines. The
court examined the three exceptions to the general  rule, determined that
none of the three exceptions applied, concluded  that the trial court
incorrectly found that a question of fact concerning  the issue of liability
was sufficiently raised by the pleadings,  and held that neither
defendant-Venchurs nor defendant-Gocon were  liable in negligence for
plaintiffs' injuries. Reversed in part,  affirmed in part, and remanded for
entry of an order granting defendants  summary disposition.

		Issues:  Garbage collection and disposal service provided to residential
units in township under contract between township and waste management
company; Breach of contract claim by owner and operator of a mobile  home
parks located in township; Third party beneficiary status;  Equal protection;
Due process; Rational basis test
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: American Presidential Estates, Inc. v. Van Buren Twp.
		e-Journal  Number: 10223
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam ) McDonald, Neff, and Fitzgerald

		While the trial  court properly concluded that an agreement between
defendant-township  and defendant-waste management company entitled mobile
homes in  plaintiff,s parks to free garbage collection, plaintiff-mobile
home  park owner and operator had no right to enforce the contract. The
trial court erred in concluding that plaintiff was a third-party  beneficiary
of the agreement and awarding it damages on a breach  of contract theory. The
agreement contained an express promise to  act for the benefit of the
particular class of persons who owned  and occupied private residences within
the township. Plaintiff was  not an individual resident or owner of private
property within the  township, and the fact that it would indirectly and
incidentally  derive benefits from its residents receiving free garbage
collection  services was insufficient to provide it third-party beneficiary
status. Reversed.

		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: Eby v. A & M Custom Built Homes, Inc.
		e-Journal  Number: 10230
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam - Bandstra, Griffin, and Collins

		Although the  trial court erred by failing to consider plaintiffs-employees,
parol  evidence of pre-employment discussions in support of their position
that the employment relationship was not simply an at-will arrangement,  the
court affirmed summary disposition in favor of defendants-employers  with
respect to plaintiffs, breach of contract claim. The court  held that the
error was harmless because, even if plaintiffs, proffered  parol evidence was
considered, it failed to establish whether plaintiffs,  employment
relationship with defendants properly could be considered  other than
at-will. The letter agreement failed to contain any language  that would
cause a reasonable person to believe that the employment  relationship was
terminable only for just cause. Plaintiffs did  not allege any specific oral
assertions made by defendants that  would constitute the required "clear and
unequivocal"  language to overcome the presumption of employment at-will.

his trial; Whether defendant was denied a fair trial because  of negative and
hostile remarks made by trial court during jury  voir dire; Denial of motion
for a continuance to secure an  independent examination on the issue of
criminal responsibility;  Ineffective assistance of counsel; Due process
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: People v. Washington
		e-Journal  Number: 10221
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam ) Bandstra, Wilder, and Collins

		The presiding  judge did not abuse her discretion in ordering a competency
hearing  when defendant appeared before her on the date set for his trial.
The presiding judge took testimony from the examining psychologist,  and
defense counsel was allowed the opportunity to cross-examine  the witness.
The psychologist, who had interviewed defendant, opined  that defendant was
able to articulate what was occurring in the  court proceedings and assist
his attorney with his defense. Since  defense counsel did not move in writing
for another competency hearing  and there was no evidence presented that the
earlier determination  that defendant was competent to stand trial was no
longer valid,  the question of defendant's competence was within the
discretion  of the presiding judge. Affirmed.

		Issues:  Unanimous verdict; Failure to instruct jury on name of the
complainant  and date of offense; Ineffective assistance of counsel
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: People v. Wicker
		e-Journal  Number: 10242
		Judge(s):  Memorandum ) Holbrook, Jr., Hood, and Griffin

		Defendant,s  claim that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the
jury  regarding the name of the complainant and the date of the offense,
thereby depriving him of the right to a unanimous verdict, was without
merit. The general unanimity instruction was sufficient where there  was no
juror confusion. The trial testimony by witness-Mason established  that he
was not an intended victim, and the prosecutor emphasized  throughout his
closing argument that the victim was another man.  Defendant did not take
issue at trial with the date of the offense,  and in fact presented an alibi
for the date alleged by the prosecution.  Defendant,s convictions were
affirmed.

Defendant,s failure to comply with the Equal Access to  Justice Act
		Court:  U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
		Case  Name: United States v. True
		e-Journal  Number: 10247
		Judge(s):  Suhrheinrich, Guy, and Boggs

		Reviewing the  district court,s denial of defendant-True,s Hyde Amendment
application  under an abuse of discretion standard, the court affirmed
because  True failed to meet his burden of establishing that the government,
s  prosecution of him on price-fixing conspiracy charges was vexatious  or in
bad faith. Despite conflicting testimony at trial, there were  sufficient
facts to give the government probable cause to prosecute  True and therefore,
it could not be said that the government vexatiously  prosecuted him. True
also failed to show that the government consciously  pursued the action out
of ill will towards him so that it could  be said that the government acted
in bad faith. While the court  had some concerns about the government,s delay
in indicting True,  there was evidence to support the government,s position
that the  conspiracy extended into late 1992 and even into 1993.

		Issues:  Termination of parental rights; Whether failure to secure

process  of law
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: In re K.R.J.
		e-Journal  Number: 10236
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam - Griffin, Neff, and White

		The family  court erred by terminating respondent-mother,s parental rights
based  on the failure of either parent to appear at the termination hearing
because the failure to secure the respondent,s presence at the termination
hearing deprived her of due process of law. Respondent,s parental  liberty
interest in her child at the final stage of the termination  proceedings was
a compelling one. The government,s interest in avoiding  the burden that the
additional or substitute procedures would carry  likewise clearly weighed in
respondent,s favor. Respondent was incarcerated  locally, therefore the
burden on the state to secure her presence  would have been minimal. The
incremental risk of an erroneous deprivation  of respondent,s parental rights
in the absence of the procedure  demanded, tipped the scale in her favor.
Reversed and remanded.

		Case  Name: Tezak v. Huntington Research Assocs., LTD.
		e-Journal  Number: 10225
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam - Doctoroff, Cavanagh, and Meter

		The trial court  abused its discretion by denying defendant's motion for a
protective  order in total and by ordering compliance with all of
plaintiff's  discovery requests. A statutory private investigator-client
privilege  exists and was examined by the court in Ravary, a published
opinion, where the court held that any communication by a client  to a
licensee and any information secured in connection with an  assignment for a
client is privileged. The trial court was bound  to follow both the statute
and Ravary. The applicable court  rule provides that parties may obtain
discovery regarding any matter,  not privileged, which is relevant to the
subject matter involved  in the pending action. Accordingly, the trial court
should have  determined which discovery requests were covered by the private
detective-client privilege and exempted those from discovery. Reversed  and
remanded.

		Court: Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)

		Since the defendant-police chief's "executive authority" included  his duties
as a high ranking executive, as well as his duties as  a police officer, and
he was directed by the mayor to attend the  city council meeting in his
official capacity, the trial court correctly  determined that the police
chief was entitled to absolute immunity  from tort liability. Plaintiff
alleged that since the chief was  acting as an ordinary police officer and
not in his executive capacity  as chief of police, when he arrested plaintiff
for disrupting a  cable TV control room during a city council meeting, the
chief was  not entitled to absolute immunity under the relevant statute. The
chief acted within the authority granted him by law as a police  officer when
he arrested and detained plaintiff, and was entitled  to absolute immunity
under the statute by virtue of his status as  the highest law enforcement
official for the city. Summary disposition  in favor of defendants was
affirmed.

		Plaintiffs-homeowners  and their insurer failed to establish a prima facie
case  of negligence against defendant-power company in connection with  a
fire that occurred at the homeowners, home after defendant,s power  lines
fell. Plaintiffs did not produce evidence from which a jury  could infer that
defendant breached its duty of reasonable care  with regard to the lines that
plaintiffs alleged caused the fire.  Plaintiffs failed to offer evidence to
establish what constitutes  reasonable maintenance of electrical lines, and
presented no evidence  regarding when defendant last inspected or serviced
the lines in  question. While two experts opined that the electrical line
must  have fallen due to a lack of preventive maintenance, there was no
evidence of defendant,s conduct in that regard, and trial testimony  provided
alternative theories on the causation issue. Directed verdict  for Detroit
Edison was appropriate. Affirmed.

client is privileged. The trial court was bound  to follow both the statute
and Ravary. The applicable court  rule provides that parties may obtain
discovery regarding any matter,  not privileged, which is relevant to the
subject matter involved  in the pending action. Accordingly, the trial court
should have  determined which discovery requests were covered by the private
detective-client privilege and exempted those from discovery. Reversed  and
remanded.

		Qui Tam

		Back               to Quicklinks

		Issues:  Qui tam action; False Claims Act (FCA)
		Court:  U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
		Case  Name: Varljen v. Cleveland Gear Co., Inc.
		e-Journal  Number: 10246
		Judge(s):  Siler, Nelson, and Clay

		The district  court erred in granting defendants, motion to dismiss based on
plaintiffs-relators  failure to allege that the United States had suffered an
injury  in its dealings with defendant-Cleveland Gear because the trial
court relied upon the fact that the government had inspected and  accepted
the items in question. Plaintiffs, complaint should have  survived the motion
because it clearly alleged an FCA "injury",  it was not essential for an FCA
plaintiff to allege damages, the  government inspection was irrelevant, and
the relative quality of  conforming and nonconforming products in an FCA
case. Plaintiffs  had a contract with the United States Department of Defense
and  subcontracted with Cleveland Gear. Plaintiffs alleged that
defendant-Cleveland  Gear made changes that violated the contract
specifications and  attempted to produce gears more cheaply that would
nonetheless pass  government inspection. Defendant-Cleveland Gear's
certification  that it had complied with the "Quality Assurance
Requirements,"  including inspection, was false. Reversed and remanded.?????

Since terminations are processed in lag, here is the report as of 5/20.
Thanks.

Major takeaways :  The number of good performers leaving in recent weeks is
increasing.  Although termination activity is highest seen in recent years at
1,300 ytd, there have been 1900 new hires (including acquisitions) - a net
growth of 600 employees.  More details in the attachment.  Thanks.


I think we need to get a lot closer together - I expect Geoff (and the
analyst working for Geoff on this) to be spending a lot more time down on the
IT floors.  If we integrate at a much earlier stage we might not see any
divergence from how Geoff sees the end result to what actually appears.

Could you consider how to get your team spending much more time with Geoff -
I would suggest you have a daily time when you all (developers included) sit
down around a desk to look at progress.

Let me know what you think?

Godfrey,

Thank you for your message this morning in regards to the payment made in December.  I would prefer if you outlined the details of the payment in an email, in order for me to clearly understand and be able to explain to my customer what the payment entails.  Also, you mentioned demand charge in your message, could you be more specific to what the various demand charges relate to?  That would be very helpful.

Thank you,

Kourtney


We need to use FGT's filing as a guide to determine which parts of TW's tariff need to be changed.

Debbie,  Can you work with Jeanette and Bill Rapp to see what needs to be done?  Thanks,  Teb

Teb,
I talked with Dennis a little bit about this.  (Dennis, we currently have electronic contracting for capacity release only).  We have language in TW's tariff for electronic contracting for capacity release on Sheet No. 72B.

Let me know what you want to do and if we want to duplicate the Florida language.

Transwestern is getting ready to begin testing their new contract system.  In preparation for implementation of the new system, we need to make changes to TW's tariff to allow the option of Electronic Contracting the same way we did to FGT's tariff when we implemented their new system.

The new contract system is scheduled to go into production Q1, 2002.

Teb, do we need a meeting, or can you proceed?

Let me know.

Subject: Canada Intra-Month Currency Issues.

Jeremy,
In the last few months our intramonth books have seen very large swings in
their P&L due simply to currency positions.  The traders want to be able to
hedge this risk but the problem is that there are no reports in ERMS that
meet their currency information requirements.

We need reports similar to those reports which we are able to produce for our
term books

Crv Shift (Implicit)  - to show price curve shift by pub code
Curr Hedge   - to show currency curveshift by month
Implicit Position Report  - to show gas and USD positions by month
Top Page Canada  - to correctly bucket price curveshift verses currency
curveshift

We need these reports to work for all of our intramonth books (physical,
financial, gas daily).

physical postids:  accued: 698871, MTM: 698872
financial postid:     698876
gas daily:   698877

All of these reports currently work for our term books (698669) but none of
our intramonth books (there reports come out blank)

This issue  is of CRITICAL importance to us - our IM book is seeing
SIGNIFICANT swings in p&l due to currency exposure.  We had originally asked
for currency reports from you approx 6 months ago (requested by Walt).  We
now need this ASAP.

The most important IM book which we need reports for is the IM financial book
and the most important report we need in the Implicit Position Report.
I understand that this will take a considerable amout of your time but this
is VERY important to the profitability of Enron Canada.  Please call be to
dicuss a timeline.

Subject: Reimbursement of Individually Billed Items

The use of cell phones and pagers has increased dramatically in the past few
years.  As a result the Accounts Payable department has seen a rapid increase
in the number of invoices and vendors.  With the higher volume, we have
reviewed our processes in order to continue our rapid payment cycle.

Although we encourage vendors to address their invoices to individual
employees, they often mail invoices directly to Accounts Payable.  At times
they fail to list the individual who uses the pager or cell phone.  In these
cases we return the invoice to the vendor.  If the employee is designated, we
try to track him/her down and forward the invoice.  The high level of
employee movement among jobs and locations at Enron has made this
increasingly challenging.  Either way, we end up doing something less
productive than paying invoices.

To maintain satisfactory response to our vendors and to reduce time necessary
for research, we request that employees who have pagers, cell phones, and
other individually billed items such as licenses, subscriptions, etc., pay
for them by personal check or charge card (if applicable*payment instructions
are usually indicated on the invoice) and request reimbursement through
employee expense reports.

By submitting these charges on your expense report, you can help us reduce
the amount of time spent researching and forwarding invoices, the number of
checks generated by Treasury, the number of vendors in our database, and the
turnaround time for payment of invoices.


Jaime:

As I told you before, Sara Shackleton is the lawyer of the Estate in charge of all financial trading matters.  I prepared a memo to her that included the MTM you gave me and also the status of the contract with each counterparty.  One question Sara had was about the date of the MTM valuation you sent me.  I know it is a bit old but cannot recall the exact date.  Could you please let Sara know the date and who exactly prepared the valuation (I am talking about the MTM you sent me).

Also, please let Sara know all your contact info.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
	FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation   				Docket No.
RP01-278-002

	NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE FILING

	(October 22, 2001)

Take notice that on October 17, 2001, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation
(Texas Gas) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First
Revised Volume No. 1, the  following tariff sheets to become effective
October 1, 2001:

                                Primary
                                Third Revised Sheet No. 181
                                Third Revised Sheet No. 182
                                Third Revised Sheet No. 183
                                Sheet No. 184 (reserved)
                                Second Revised Sheet No. 185

                                Alternate
                                Alternate Third Revised Sheet No. 181
                                Alternate Third Revised Sheet No. 182
                                Alternate Third Revised Sheet No. 183

Texas Gas states that this filing is being submitted in compliance with the
Commission's Order issued on September 19, 2001 in the above-referenced
docket.  As directed, the tariff sheets removed  the daily  high/low index
price for cash-out.  In response, Texas Gas proposes to establish a
cash-out price based on a weekly high/low index price determined from the
weeks within the applicable month, plus the first week of the following
month.  The primary and alternate sheets require in-kind make-up  of
imbalances up to 2% and use the same index price  for  imbalances  above
5%.
However,  the primary sheets also propose to eliminate cash-out for all
imbalances up to  5%  by also requiring a mandatory in-kind make-up level
from 2% to 5% and by eliminating any use of the 100% price index for this
tier of imbalance.

Texas Gas states that copies of  the revised  tariff sheets are being mailed
to Texas  Gas's  jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington,
D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and
Regulations.  All such protests must be filed in accordance with Section
154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.  Protests will be considered by the
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not
serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings.  Copies of this filing
are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection.
This filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
"RIMS" link, select "Docket#" and follow the instructions  (call
202-208-2222 for assistance).  Comments, protests and interventions may be
filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper.  See, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site under
the "e-Filing" link.

	Secretary


Our natural gas business continues to benefit from effective account management and resource allocation focused on identifying and responding to the needs of our varied customers.  In order to keep our organization optimally structured and to facilitate additional growth, we are making the following changes:

Producer/Wellhead Group
The current mid-market, origination and wellhead pricing activity currently within the Central and Eastern Gas Regions will be consolidated with the Derivatives group under Fred Lagrasta.  This will create a single business unit focused upon the needs of the producing industry within the Eastern U.S.  The producer focus in the Western U.S. and Texas will remain unchanged reporting  to Mark Whitt and Brian Redmond respectively.

Strategic Asset  Development
Laura Luce will move from her role in the Central Region to lead an effort focused strictly on identifying and entering into long-term strategic  arrangements within the Central and Eastern Regions.  This initiative will focus on a limited number of selected markets that provide strategic opportunities for partnering in asset development, asset management and optimization.  This effort will continue to work very closely with the regional leads.

Central Origination and Mid-Market
Frank Vickers will continue his current role in the Eastern Region and will assume the leadership role for Mid-Market and Origination activity in the Central Region.

Barry Tycholiz and Brian Redmond continues to respectively run the West Gas and the Texas Gas Origination Groups.

Please join us in congratulating Fred, Laura and Frank in their new roles.

Louise & John

We have had a problem arise today with some deals that are being booked in
sitara by originators and deal tickets/notebooks are not being communicated
properly to ensure entry into TAGG & Sitara for prompt month deals.  Would
you mind forwarding this email to your groups and asking them to copy the
other desks on any originator notebooks that they get that involve pipelines
on other desks.  For example, Nelson Ferries writes all of his deals on one
sheet and all deals by pipeline are on one page.  This would simply be an
additional step to verify all deals are being captured.  Hopefully this will
eliminate any future problems.  If you have any suggestions for ways to
better handle this, please let me know.  Thanks.

Subject: SCE Advice 1534-E-A

On April 20, 2001, SCE filed Advice 1534-E-A with the Commission.

Title:
Establishment of Four New Balancing Accounts and other Tariff Revisions -
Supplemental Filing

Purpose:
This advice filing establishes four separate balancing accounts: 1) the SCE
Utility Retained Generation Balancing Account; 2) the SCE Contracts
Balancing Account; 3) the Procurement Costs Balancing Account; and 4) the
Ancillary Services Balancing Account.  In addition, this filing dedicates a
portion of SCE's residually determined generation rate and
Commission-approved surcharges between the four balancing accounts based on
estimated costs for a twelve-month period and establishes the Generation
Rate Trigger Mechanism. Furthermore, in conjunction with the implementation
of the four new balancing accounts and the Trigger Mechanism, this filing
1) modifies the Transition Revenue Account; 2) establishes the Net
Undercollected Amount Account; (3) eliminates the Transition Cost Balancing
Account; 4) eliminates the Generation Memorandum Accounts 2 ; and 5)
eliminates the Emergency Procurement Surcharge Balancing Account.

Attached is GE's suggestion for inclusion into Section 7.1 of the Contract.
This clause lays out the timing for any changes without impacting ship
dates.
------------------------------------------------
Also below are the revisions that are under discussion for the Arcos
contract for Sections 10.3.2 (e) and (g).  We can use these as a starting
point for these clauses.

10.3.2

(e) Purchaser makes reasonable efforts to provide the necessary time, access
and operating loads for Seller and Purchaser to commission and check out the
Power Island during the Commissioning Period.  Seller's time and load
requirement shall not be to the exclusion of the needs of other Station
equipment being commissioned.  Purchaser shall coordinate the most
advantageous utilization of time.  In the event Purchaser does not provide
reasonable time, access and operating loads during the Commissioning Period,
Seller will be entitled to an appropriate adjustment in the cost of
additional TD of I (to the extent the allotted manweeks per Appendix ____
are exceeded) and adjustment to the Commissioning Period pursuant to Article
____ of this Contract;

(g) In the event Seller fails to use its reasonable efforts to minimize time
to make corrections, adjustments or repairs to the deficiently performing
Unit during the Commissioning Period, Purchaser shall have the right to
reduce the Commissioning Period by the same time period that the Seller has
not used reasonable efforts to minimize time to make corrections,
adjustments or repairs to the deficiently performing Unit;

---------------------------------------------

Talk to y'all tomorrow,

dear c & j~~~~the following FYI is based on hours of research i did out of the goodness and generosity of my [IMAGE] in preparation of our " Griswalds do NY Christmas 2001."  of course you can thank me later but for now here are some suggestions :
              date:    dec. 22-dec.27
      Having reviewed several (and i do mean several) hotels the Park Lane seems to be the most reasonable. (yes, we are looking at the economics of this adventure[IMAGE]) (rooms vs. suites)  this would mean reserving 5 rooms (car and jim; jan and bob; hol and tan; jim and cor; jo-jo).  room rates:  standard:  park view $251.00  city view $  205.00         play suggestions (based on seeing 3 plays; one on broadway; one off broadway and the radio city music hall christmas show)   on:   the producers   or   aida;    off:  blueman troop;  and radio city xmas show.
          on broad: $230   off:  150   radio c m  $150
             after reviewing, please adivse either by phone or mail as to the next step.  i suggest we reserve our room accommodations, theatre tickets, plane reservations etc. ASAP[IMAGE]     keep in mind that what you have just reviewed is open
to discussion and any and all suggestions you elves might have.   upon finalizing our plans i will provide trip agendas for all good little boys and girls~~~~sorry jim, i guess you'll have to look on with carrin[IMAGE]             x0x0x0x0x0[IMAGE] jdg

Mark:
Who should handle this?  Given my situation, I would prefer not to take this

think.  Would this be something that Lou Stoler would work on with our help?

Carol, I'd like to speak with you regarding the following structure proposed
by Sorema, which address the fact that they can't sell/buy derivatives and
can't reinsure any contract governed by NY law.  The credit issue
remains--they propose solving it by means of an assignment clause.

Sorema did six deals with us last year using Palladium.

Subject: Re-calculation of Monthly Availibility (Mill Run/Somerset)

Gary,

On behalf of the GEWE Systems Performance team, please find a re-calculation
of Monthly Availability for both the Mill Run and Somerset projects.  The
following work is in response to your findings regarding availability
incrementing with no power production above cut in wind speeds, conveyed
through both Kurt Anderson and through Mark Fisher's meeting with you in
early June.

The following methodology incorporates criteria discussed during Mark Fisher
visit.  We are planning to provide some detailed examples later this week for
your review.  I anticipate we will then discuss the methodology via
conference.  The intent would be to use this fully automated methodology to
account for this situation on a go forward basis.

Please feel free to contact myself of Kurt Anderson.

		 Subject: FW: CPUC Fastball: emergency meeting on 1/19

Greetings:

The CPUC held an emergency meeting this morning in which they restated the
utilities obligation to serve regardless of claims of bankruptcy or any other
insolvency. PG&E had indicated to both the ISO and CDWR that they had only
planned to schedule for load in which they had native generation to serve.
PG&E's logic is?probably that they will cover folks with the?assets they
have, but since they can't buy anything, they shouldn't?carry that
obligation.? CPUC doesn't like that logic, although if bankruptcy happens its
about the same effect?as?imposing that obligation on DWR.? This could be
avoided if they would just impose the rate increase?that will cover the
costs, subject to refund, and then get the long-term?deals in place.? At this
point the utilities have?much less to lose.? Please find the attached
decision.? For those of you who would like to listen to the hearing you can
listen to a rebroadcast by logging onto the CPUC web site.
