The Word of the Day for December 29 is:

forfend   \for-FEND\   (verb)
    *1 : to ward off : prevent
     2 : protect : preserve

Example sentence:
     My roommate claims the best way to forfend a nasty cold is
to chew garlic.

Did you know?
     "You certainly won't find me running a marathon, paddling
the Volga, or, heaven forfend, singing opera," wrote _Boston
Globe_ staff writer Scot Lehigh in the February 25, 2001 edition
of that paper, using an old meaning of "forfend" in the process.
English speakers have been using "forfend" with the meanings "to
forbid" or "to prevent" since the late 14th century, but these
days we only use the "forbid" sense when we use it, as Lehigh
did, in the phrase "heaven forfend." "Forfend" comes from "for-"
(an old prefix meaning "so as to involve prohibition, exclusion,
omission, failure, neglect, or refusal") and Middle English
"fenden" (a shorter variant of "defenden," meaning "to defend").

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

Fred,

Could you give me the status or an ETA on this meter.  We are in the middle
of a big push to lower our exposure and the following customer has $55,000
not including Sept production because we've paid manually without having the
volumes in Unify for this meter.

Susan,
 I find that you have a midly attractive sense of humor and a cynical side to
you that separates you from the rest of the tribe.  Its funny you mentioned
the Astros game.  I was actually thinking of inviting you (since I have two
tickets to tonight's game and all) but you have turned me down so many times
in the past I decided to go with a more conservative pick.  Anyhow, since I
absolutely detest Woody's and all of my bold suggestions for other venues
consistently gets dissed by the group's brain trust, please take me off of
this distribution list.  Have a nice day.

Oh wait, I can't go to the ball game because I couldn't take a day off from
work to stand in the Enron lobby (or send my secretary to do it for me).

For all of you who have managed to snag tickets for tonight's game
congratulations and you suck.  For the rest of us stuck out in the cold I
suggest the only viable alternative before us is to drown our sorrows in a
cold bottle of beer (or two, or three...).  I realize the mass email has been
MIA the last two weeks.  For some this may have been a welcomed relief.  For
others there may have been some concern that they had been cut-off from the
distribution.  At present no one has been removed from the distribution, but
it is undergoing an audit.  Should it be determined that it is necessary to
remove an individual from the list for any reason that individual will be
notified and given an explanation.  If anyone would like to know the causes
for expulsion you can write to:  I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE CARES IF THERE ON
THIS DISTRIBUTION OR NOT BECAUSE THE ONLY PLACE WE SEEM TO GO IS WOODY'S
EVERY THURSDAY BETWEEN 9:30 AND 10:00.

On that note, see you guys at Woody's tonight around 9:30 or 10:00.


No.  The decision would have prevented the Commission from implementing the
legislation that prohibits direct access, at least during the time that
Legislature and the direct access coalition work together to try to come up
with a compromise to continue to allow direct access.  So all this means is
that the prohibition still has not been implemented and there currently is
nothing before the commission to implement.  Sure would have been nice if the
commission had passed it, though.

Also, did I tell you that i'm in a meeting all day tomorrow in houston and
therefore can't do an update call with edward's?  i can, however, do it on
monday.

If so, when is it effective?

Subject: PUC Approves DWR Language in Decision; Removes Language Staying
Commission Action on Direct Access

The Commission just voted out one half of the "Bilas Alternate."

The decision that got voted out included Bilas' DWR-based language stating
that the PUC 1) would not second-guess DWR purchases and 2) would pass
through DWR costs to customers.
However, in a move led by Commissioner Carl Wood, the decision removed the
Bilas language on Direct Access.  The decision therefore did NOT include the
Bilas language staying any Commission action on implementing the Direct
Access prohibition.  Carl Wood called including Direct Access "the height of
arrogance."
The decision was voted out 3-2, with the 2 remaining Republicans dissenting.
That said, the Commission has no proposal before it implementing the
prohibition, and there was no talk at the meeting of implementing the
prohibition any time soon.

Best,
Jeff

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Email Alert

Morning Market View(TM)
for Thursday, December 27, 2001
as of 9:30AM EST
Information provided by Schwab Center for Investment Research

MARKETS LOOK TO OPEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER

U.S. equity index futures are pointing to a slightly higher open
as economic and equity news is sparse this morning. Apple
Computer (AAPL,22,f1) said its retail outlets may report a loss
in 2002 and TMP Worldwide (TMPW,42,f1) stated it would not boost
its offer for Hotjobs.com (HOTJ,10.67,f1). U.S. Treasuries are
flat and world markets are higher.

TMP Worldwide, provider of the popular Monster.com web site,
reported that it would not increase its bid for competitor
Hotjobs.com, saying it had offered "full and fair value" for the
entity. Hotjobs announced on Monday that it would accept a $436
million offer from rival bidder Yahoo! (YHOO,17.51,f1) if TMP
did not increase its proposal, which has shrunk since June given
declines in TMP's stock. If the acquisition fails, TMP is
entitled to as much as $17 million in termination and
reimbursement fees from Hotjobs and the company would remain the
No. 1 online recruitment site.

Apple Computer said it now expects its retail stores to incur a
loss in 2002, contrary to forecasts made last May predicting
retail profitability for the year ending in fiscal 2002. Apple
blamed the setback on the economic recession in the U.S. and the
slowdown in the PC market, exacerbated by the terrorist attacks.
The California-based computer maker opened 27 retail stores this
year, two more than originally planned.

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

TREASURY AND ECONOMIC SUMMARY

U.S. Treasury prices are little changed across the curve ahead
of today's record $23 billion 2-year note auction. Friday's
economic plate is full as initial jobless claims, originally
scheduled for release this morning, will be released tomorrow.
In addition, consumer confidence figures, the Chicago Purchasing
Managers' Index, new and existing home sales, and durable goods
orders will be reported.

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

WORLD MARKETS

European markets are marginally higher with the Bloomberg
European 500 index up 0.8% as of 8:53 a.m. EST, led by bank,
telecom and energy shares. In economic news, French business
confidence rose to 90.0 in December, higher than the 89.5
estimate per Bloomberg and November's 89.0 reading. On the
corporate front, Nestle SA (NSRGY,52,f1) paid $641 million to
General Mills (GIS,52,f2) in a joint venture giving it the
rights to Haagen-Dazs in the U.S. and Canada. Oil-related issues
also did well as companies like Royal Dutch Petroleum NV
(RD,49,f2) rose on expectations that OPEC will announce its 1.5
million barrel per day production cut on Friday. The euro is
trading higher versus the U.S. dollar.

Asian markets finished higher as the Nikkei 225 index advanced
2.6% with technology and export issues leading the way. In
economic news, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
reported that Japanese industrial production declined a
seasonally adjusted 1.8% in November to the lowest level in 14
years. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi reiterated plans to cut
spending and force banks to write of bad debt, saying, "... we
must press on with employment measures and structural reforms."
Following the positive retail news in the U.S. yesterday,
exporters fared well with companies like Sony Corp. (SNE,44)
advancing. The yen fell versus the U.S. dollar given the weak
economic data.

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

FUTURES WATCH

In the March Globex futures contract as of 8:51 a.m. EST, the
S&P 500 index was up a point (3 points above fair value) while
the Nasdaq 100 index was 1 point higher (5 points above fair
value). The March DJIA futures contract was down 7 points (25
points above fair value), and the February crude oil futures
traded on the NYMEX were down $0.68 at $20.59/barrel.

Kim,
 The gas portion of the RFP does not appear to be of concern assuming we are
willing to handle the swing in their requirements.  The RFP does require that
we attach our contract form, which I think should be the contract draft we
are currently negotiating together with a completed form of Transaction
Agreement for the RFP response.  Do you agree?  I am still waiting for a
response from the City Attorney regarding his requested changes and our
response as to each of his points.  I called Christian Yoder for a download
of his conversation with the City Attorney last Friday but I have yet to hear
from Christian.  At this point I think that we need to include language in
the RFP response that our bid is based on them executing the contract as
attached.

If you guys remeber, I reminded you all last Tuesday, 5/30, in our staff
meeting to be on the look-out for the attached message from James re: 5/00
hours.  The deadline was Friday, 6/2, and unfortunately, very few of you
responded.  I understand how busy each of you are and you have expressed your
concerns on the process burdening you.  However, there are pressures
internally to provide information to Sr. Management on a more timely basis.
We need to do our part.  Please respond ASAP, but no later than Thursday,
6/8.  Please contact Jennifer or Shari if you have any questions or need any
help.

Additionally, for those of you who are involved in Bridgeline, we will be
preparing a bid for our services going forward per a discussion I had with
Trevor yesterday.  Therefore, the May drivers are very critical to that
process also.

So everyone, please get your info in ASAP.  I appreciate your help.

Subject: May Hours Survey

Attached please find the Hours Survey and Instructions for the month of May,
2000.

I am sending the survey out this time as an opportunity to introduce myself
to those of you I have not yet met.  I am being asked to take a direct roll
in the further development and rollout of the Operations Pricing Model (fka
Transaction Cost Model).  In the past, I have directed the implementation of
several pricing systems based on activity based costing similar to the
Operations Pricing Model (OPM).  Over the past couple of weeks my
observations of the Model have lead me to be concerned with the quality of
data used in the model.  It will take efforts by both you and the OPM team to
get to a satisfactory level of data quality.  This process can start with
this months data collection efforts.  Please pay particular attention this
month as the "bar is being raised" by the management of Energy Operations for
data quality and timeliness.

While completing the survey, take this time to review last month's numbers.
Please return these surveys to Shari Mao by end of day Friday, June 2.

Please note the following changes:
The Nat Gas RC's will now see deal validation and transportation rate
activities therefore, these surveys will be notably longer but will not
necessarily take more time

If the survey does not contain an activity that your team spends time on,
PLEASE DO NOT TYPE ANY ACTIVITIES IN THE SURVEY.  Contact Jennifer Reside at
#35971 to discuss how to proceed.

If you have any questions relating to the model or this survey, or are unable
to meet the survey due date, please call Jennifer Reside at #35971 (Shari is
on vacation this week).

George,
I'm not sure if you're the right person to send the comments to, but Media
General has the following comments on the Newsprint Swap Agreement.

Schedule to Master Agreement

1.  Media General wants the cross-default to be reciprocal at $100 million
for both Media General and Enron.
2.   Further, Media General thinks that this should be a cross-acceleration,
not a cross-default.
3.   Page 3 of Schedule.  The "date by which to be delivered" for Party B
should track the same with Party A: i.e., if financials are available on
EDGAR then they would not be automatically provided by MG on a quarterly
basis.
4.  Page 4 of Schedule.  Under (a), add "Attn.: Chief Financial Officer".
We will send Marshall Morton's fax and telephone numbers.
5.  We will let you know who will serve as process agent.  We would like to
talk about governing law in Texas and the site of arbitration in Houston.
6.  Page 6 of Schedule.  In clause(b)(g), please note that MG intends to
assign this agreement and we want to make sure that does not affect this
representation.
7.Page 8 of Schedule.  MG wants the right to assign this agreement to a
party with a credit agreement equivalent to a certain level.  We can discuss
what that level should be.  We should discuss what Enron's credit rating is
in this connection.

Transaction Confirmation Document.

1. MG does not think this transaction should be characterized as a
"swaption".  This was to be a deal for the purchase of newsprint at a fixed
price, not at Enron's option.
2. We want todiscuss the expiration date. We should also discuss the other
dates and terms which are blank.  On page 2, under "Additional Provisions",
the date for satisfying conditions is clearly wrong since it refers to July
5.  Once again, all of this ties in with not being an option, but a fixed
agreement.
3. We would like to have Enron render a monthly settlement statement with a
net amount being paidto/receivable from MG.  No netting is presently
provided for in the agreement.

ISDA Credit Support Annex

MG  would like to delete this entirely and would propose that Enron would
rely on the general cross-acceleration provisions.  Media General never
contemplated credit provisions more onerous than its credit agreements.

          I will have the Media General business people follow up with the
people at Enron, but could you please have some one get in touch with me on
this.

Thanks,
John

Your ideas about decertifying the Cal ISO are very interesting but I question
your likelihood of success given FERC's lack of political will (thanks to
George W.'s new leadership ) to sue the ISO to get rid of the newly-appointed
ISO board.

Subject: Re: More on the Future of the CAISO

Hi Mary,

Here's the situation as I see it:

DSTAR does indeed still have the bad governance problem to which you
alluded. On the other hand, it's turned out that the independent
Governing Board members have (except in a few cases) been pretty
reasonable and pro-markets.  So on the key issue of governance, what I
think we need to do is get DSTAR filed, and then protest at FERC that
the Advisory Committee is fatally flawed (by definition, it will always
be 10 incumbents vs. 2 non-incumbents, with 2 more
likely-to-side-with-incumbents) - so FERC should order the Bylaws
regarding the Advisory Committee to be changed to something more
equitable - e.g., what we have in RTOWest.

But aside from the governance, there are a lot of good things about
DSTAR (which have resulted from our pushback at the Board since the
fall).  recall that the two key flaws of RTOWest are that (i) FTRs are
all preallocated to incumbents with no obligation to bring them to
market; and (2) RTOWest would not have jurisdiction over all FERC
services and associated facilities.  On both of these issues, we are
much better off in DSTAR.  In DSTAR, FTR auction REVENUES, not FTRs, are
being preallocated - so we've won in DSTAR on this important issue.  And
as to scope of jurisdiction, while the jury is still out (we don't know
what the PTOs are going to do), the counsel to the Board is basically in
agreement with our position.

In most other ways, DSTAR and RTOWest are pretty much the same (the
result of Enron's sponsorship of my work and Tom Delaney's advocacy of
the Enron physical rights model over the years).

There are still a number of important DSTAR issues to be resolved... but
overall, we stand to win on most of them.

So: the advantages of pushing FERC to decertify the CAISO and require
the CA IOUs to join DSTAR (or else lose their market-based rate
authority for themselves and their subsidiaries)are: (1) DSTAR+CA could
be up and running within 12 months; (2) FERC doesn't have to get into
pitched battle with CA over the CAISO governance issues.  It simply gets
rid of the CAISO, and with it, the xenophobic control over the ISO by
the state of California; (3)DSTAR - which plans to file its Tariff in
March/April, becomes a model for RTOWest.

I checked the kindergarten website, but it didn't have any info re Wear White

		CyberSafe Lays Off 50% Due to Decreased Sales
		 mail? top

		 ISSAQUAH, Wash. (VENTUREWIRE) -- CyberSafe, a provider of electronic
security technology and services, said it eliminated 84 positions, or over
50% of its staff, as a result of declining sales and unfavorable economic
conditions. CyberSafe said the cuts were spread throughout various
departments in all of its international offices, including London, Ottawa,
and Singapore. The laid-off employees did receive severance. CyberSafe also
said it would be concentrating on its intrusion detection software and
electronic security consultancy businesses and not expanding its
authentication software divisions. The company had no comment on
profitability or about raising a new round. Eighty people remain with
CyberSafe, which has raised $100 million, including a $20.7 million Series E

		BlueLight CEO Mark H. Goldstein Steps Down
		 mail? top

		 SAN FRANCISCO (VENTUREWIRE) -- BlueLight.com, an independent e-commerce site
majority owned by Kmart, said Mark H. Goldstein has stepped down as chief
executive officer. The company said he will now become the long-term Internet
adviser for Kmart, in order to pursue other interests outside of BlueLight.
Mr. Goldstein was one of the original founders of BlueLight.com, which formed
in December of 1999. On Wednesday the company announced it would lay off an
undisclosed number of employees and begin to use more of Kmart's marketing
and merchandising staff in order to become more efficient and reduce
operating costs. When asked yesterday whether the cost cutting moves combined
with Mr. Goldstein's departure meant BlueLight would be rolled into Kmart
completely, BlueLight spokesperson Dave Karraker said, "Right now we're a
private company. Is it possible there will be a buyback by Kmart? It is
possible, yes. Anything's possible in this economy." BlueLight has not yet
announced who will replace Mr. Goldstein. The company is also backed by
Softbank Venture Capital and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

		Streaming Ad Firm EyeWonder Raising $6 Million Series B
		 mail? top

		 ATLANTA (VENTUREWIRE) -- Internet streaming firm EyeWonder is raising a $6
million Series B round with plans to improve the soft online advertising
market, according to EyeWonder's CEO John Vincent. Mr. Vincent said the
Atlanta-based company expects to look at lead term sheets in the next 45 days
and close the round within the next three months. The company already has
commitments from four strategic investors, three of whom are EyeWonder
clients. The strategic investors, who are waiting for a venture firm to lead
the round, include an ad-serving network, two international media
conglomerates, and first-round investor Eyevest. Mr. Vincent said EyeWonder
first went after strategic investors and is only now beginning to approach
venture firms with software, telecommunications, and communication interests
that are located in the mid-Atlantic and Southeastern areas of the U.S. Mr.
Vincent said EyeWonder's valuation was still undetermined because the lead
Series B investor would be pricing the round. Outside investors currently own
20% of the company and EyeWonder said it was prepared to relinquish a greater
than 20% equity stake in the Series B round. EyeWonder is using two
investment banks, Hudson Allen in New York, and Davis Capital Resources in
Atlanta, as placement agents for the round. EyeWonder, which has both wired
and wireless streaming video capabilities, is focusing on the e-mail and
banner advertising marketplace. The company's streaming technology enables
viewers to see an ad without leaving the original site. The new financing is
to be used for increasing the staff from 27 to 60 by the end of the year,
with 25 of the openings in business development. Mr. Vincent would not
disclose current revenue projections but did say that EyeWonder expected to
have 10 e-mail accounts and 20 banner accounts by July when it hopes to be
cash-flow positive. The company is focusing on reseller channel clients,
among them CNN, Winstar Interactive Media, and Engage. EyeWonder generally
earns 15% to 20% of what the reseller charges a client to advertise on the
reseller's Web site. EyeWonder also earns revenue through licensing its
streaming video platform.

and Mr. Parekh said at least two of them are likely to be customers. He said

Mary Beth:
Thanks very much for passing these along to Laura Tyson.  There are two
documents.  One is a word file with a suggested list of business leaders that
we might bring into the discussions.  Please let the Dean know that it's a
first cut and that all comments, suggestions, edits, etc. to the document are
welcome and appreciated.

The second is a pdf file from Credit Suisse First Boston giving CSFB's
analysis of what's going on in California.  I think it provides further proof
that California is still looking for, and ought to be very receptive to, a
proposal like the one that we're working on.

Could you let me know that you've received this?  Thanks again.

Best,
Jeff

I got fed up with Krugman . . . sent this out this am.

Subject:	Reply to Paul Krugman's column (Enron Goes Overboard, August 17)

	Paul Krugman has made frequent negative references to Enron and its management in his New York Times column over the last twelve months.  I have refrained from responding until now.  Below (and in the attached in Word format) is a letter I hope you will print.  If you wish to contact me, you can call my office (713.621.6550) or page me (888.906.9761).  Thank you for your consideration.

It's hard to tell what motivates Paul Krugman's frequent attacks on Enron ("Enron Goes Overboard" August 17).  His latest attack is no more than a string of misstatements and non-sequitors reminiscent of a schoolyard taunt.  He reveals, in depth, his ignorance of Enron, the people who work here, and the tragically botched California regulatory regime.  Perhaps he seeks merely to entertain.

	The broader goal of his personal attack appears to be to discredit the free market system - a system that entrusts people to make choices and enjoy the fruits of their labor, skill, intellect, and heart. He would apparently rely on a system of government controlled or sponsored monopolies to make choices for people.  We disagree, finding ourselves less trusting of the integrity and good faith of such institutions and their leaders.  Ironically, the example Krugman cites of "financialization" run amok (the electricity market in California) is the product of exactly his kind of system, with active government intervention at every step.  Indeed, the only winners in the entire California fiasco were the government owned utilities of Los Angeles, the Pacific Northwest, and British Columbia.  The disaster that squandered the wealth of California was born of regulation by the few, not by markets of the many.  So long as Krugman's elitist reasoning prevails, we are doomed to repeat such mistakes.

It looks good for me.  There are a couple of applications I do not have access to.  Let me know what method you would like me to take in requesting access.

Jeff & Carol:

As you work through these issues, please remember that even though the Mexico
commercial group may not plan to offer many of their own products and may not
expect many other products to appeal to their customers, the EnronOnline
people will expect all products listed online to be available unless we can
articulate a compelling reason to restrict them.

Carol,

I've been working with Jaime Williams and our outside tax advisors to
determine the Mexican tax consequences applicable to those products that
Jaime has informed me will be offered to Mexican counterparties through
EnronOnLine and, potentially, a separate ENA Mexican entity.  I should be
able to provide the results by Friday or Monday.  Please contact me at ext.
35777 if you'd like to discuss in the meantime.

Best regards,

Jeff

Subject: Online Issues - Mexico

Jeff:
As I think you are aware, the Meixco and online group want to implement
online trading for Mexican counterparties.  Are there any tax issues taht we
should be aware of?  If we conduct online trades using ENA and telephone
trades with an Enron Mexican entity, will the exercise of setoff rights
create any tax issues?   My understanding is that the Enron counterparty will
be ENA.

With respect to he Bakersfield Californian on the list below, I am amending
my original approval for this counterparty to approve them to enter into
newsprint swaps and options only.  At this time our list does not reflect the
individual products you are trading.  I understand from Mark Taylor that he
spoke to Jeff Harbert last night about amending your excel spreadsheet to add
the individual pulp and paper financial products, since restrictions such as
this one will occur from time to time.

Attached is the referenced list.  The Bakersfield California is approved to
only do newsprint commodity swaps and options.  Therefore, I have turned them
down to trade the current products we have available online.  As our product
base expands, we can send them through again as an amended counterparty if we
offer newprint commodity swaps and options online.

Jeff Dasovich may be there for Enron on Monday.

Here are some of my thoughts.

# 1 Objective -- Get DA Reinstated
#2 Objective -- Ensure fair fees and rules

We have our Supreme Court appeal and we need a legislative/administration strategy to put pressure on for re-instatement.  None of us underestimates the difficulty of this in an election year.  Speaking of elections, we may also want to contact the Riordan campaign.  He came out with some good messages on energy but did not say a peep about retail competition. To the extent we can make it an issue in the campaign, it gets more visibility. We should also consider pushing on John White and company to make green DA a reality.  Some DA is better than none.

The fee and rules issue is going to be a grind and likely at the CPUC. As I've said, it's been hand-to-hand combat with the utilities since 9-20-01. I would like to find a way to work better with the customer groups, because in the end, they are the ones who can carry the day.  Nobody really wants to listen to a bunch of ESPs. The problem is that no one really cares as much as we do -- it's our business afterall.

I can't make any promises about Enron or Enron/Dynegy continuing in AReM and I can't predict if/when we might bow out. I think AReM is going to have to pick its spots this year and minimize its expenses whatever it does.  Unfortunately, our experience at the CPUC has been bad.  That would argue for a minimum of activity in the cases and a maximum of lobbying at the Commission and the Leg/Admin. We have to remember that we get all excited about these cases and the issues only to be ignored or harmed when decisions are reached -- especially with certain ALJs. Davis can still get another appointee and things will look even bleaker then.

This may sound depressing, but that's reality.  We are the ones carrying on the good fight and the fight must continue.

Have a good meeting.  Aloha.

Sue
