SENATE PASSES AIRPORT SECURITY BILL; BLOCKS WORKER RELIEF

Senate Democrats fail in their bid to bring to a vote an
assistance package for workers who have been laid off from
airlines, airports, and aircraft manufacturers in the wake
of recent terrorist attacks. The package was being offered
as an amendment to an airport security bill (S. 1447) that
won unanimous approval from the Senate.

A few hours before approving the security bill by a vote of
100-0, the Senate came four votes short of the 60 votes
needed to cut off debate and allow a vote on adding the
worker assistance package. Democrats who sponsored the
worker assistance package pledge to offer a similar measure
as an amendment to an economic stimulus package being
crafted by lawmakers. . . . Page AA-1

LABOR-HHS BILL MOVES IN HOUSE; SENATE CLEARS MEASURE FOR
FLOOR VOTE

The House late Oct. 11 was preparing to vote in favor of the
fiscal year 2002 spending bill (H.R. 3061) for the
departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and
Education. Earlier in the day, the Senate Appropriations
Committee cleared its version of the measure for a vote on
the floor. Both the House and Senate measures have strong
bipartisan support, and the differences between the two
appear negligible with respect to funding levels for the
Labor Department.

Both of the $123 billion measures set DOL's FY 2002
discretionary funding levels at around $11.9 billion. This
represents an increase from the slightly more than $11.3
billion requested by the Bush administration and is more
than the nearly $11.7 billion allotted for FY 2001. In
addition to setting forth spending levels for Labor
Department programs and agencies, which are subject to
change pending a House-Senate conference, the reports
accompanying the bills contain directives reflecting certain
concerns on the part of various appropriators, such as
access to DOL's budget office and increases in workplace
fatalities among Hispanics. . . . Page A-10

NLRB RULES 2-1 STRIKE-NOTICE FAILURE DID NOT UNDO WORKERS'
PROTECTION

The failure of a union representing convention exhibit
workers in New Orleans to give prior notice of a strike did
not deprive the workers of protection under federal labor
law, the National Labor Relations Board rules in a 2-1
decision ("Freeman Decorating Co., "336 N.L.R.B. No. 1,
9/28/01 [released 10/10/01]). Members Liebman and Walsh
decide 11 contractors violated the National Labor Relations
Act by "terminating" hundreds of workers who previously had
obtained short-term jobs with any one of about 80
contractors through a hiring hall run by Local 39 of the
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. The
board finds the workers did not have an actual employment
relationship with the 11 contractors when the strike began
and therefore could not be deprived of protected employee
status by the union's failure to comply with the
strike-notice requirement.

Dissenting, Chairman Hurtgen takes the view that the workers
lost their status as employees covered by the act when the
union failed to comply with Section 8(d). Having lost their
protected status, the contractors could legally discharge
the workers and refuse to hire them in the future, Hurtgen
says. "To adopt the position of my colleagues would mean
that the loss-of-status provision of Section 8(d) does not
operate in hiring hall situations," the chairman says. . . .

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION RULES FOR NEW JERSEY CASINOS FOUND
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

A federal judge orders the New Jersey State Casino Control
Commission to eliminate the portions of its equal employment
opportunity regulations that required Atlantic City casinos
to set specific affirmative action goals for hiring
minorities and women, holding that the rules violated the
Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution ("Rudolph v.
Adamar of New Jersey, Inc., d/b/a Tropicana Casino and
Resort,"D.N.J., No. 00-CV-190, 10/10/01).

The brief order from Judge Orlofsky of the U.S. District
Court for New Jersey is entered as part of a pending class
action against the Tropicana Casino and Resort by former
employee John Rudolph, who alleged he and a class of other
white and male employees had been harmed by the
state-mandated policy.

The commission stopped enforcing the portions of the
regulations that were invalidated by Judge Orlofsky's Oct.
10 order more than a year ago, according to a commission
spokesman. But Rudolph's attorney says the order is
significant, in that it will require the commission to
notify each casino about the ruling and to take the
regulations off the books. "All of the casinos'
employment-related policies will have to be changed to
provide equal employment opportunity for everyone, without
concern for race or gender," she says. The casinos employ
more than 47,000. . . . Page A-2

ABRAHAM SAYS SUPPORT HAS GROWN FOR DATA FUNDING

Looking back at her eight years as head of the agency,
Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Katharine Abraham
says in an interview that she believes support has grown
among various constituencies for funding research and
improvements of key economic data programs. She is leaving
the agency after serving two terms as commissioner.

 During her tenure, which will end Oct. 12, Abraham says the
agency has been able to initiate new labor market measures,
including a survey of job openings and labor turnover that
will begin regular publication early next year. Also "the
BLS has been able to make improvements in just about all of
its major data series" in recent years, she says. . . . Page

NO ULP TO FIRED NURSE WHO CRITICIZED HOSPITAL  ON TV, EIGHTH
CIRCUIT FINDS

A Missouri hospital did not violate federal labor law when
it fired a prounion nurse who appeared on a local news
broadcast and accused the hospital of "jeopardizing the
health of mothers and babies" by altering shift assignments
and duties of certain labor and delivery nurses, the Eighth
Circuit rules ("St. Luke's Episcopal-Presbyterian Hospitals
Inc. v. NLRB,  "8th Cir., No. 00-3169,  10/10/01).

Denying enforcement of an order by the National Labor
Relations Board, Judge Loken disagrees with the board's
conclusion that St. Luke's Episcopal-Presbyterian Hospital
in Chesterfield, Mo., violated the National Labor Relations
Act by terminating registered nurse first assistant Carol
Hollowood based on protected concerted activity. There was
"overwhelming evidence" that Hollowood was fired because her
comments were false and disparaging to the hospital, and
they alienated her co-workers, the court decides. . . . Page

Vince,
I am writing in regards to an energy derivatives training course I am
developing.  I would like to invite you to be an instructor for the course.
A preliminary agenda is attached.  Brett Humphreys from Risk Capital
Management is teaching on Day One, and I was wondering if you would be
interested in covering all or part of Day Two.  The topics outlined here can
be modified based on your feedback.

Our training courses are structured for an interactive, classroom-type
setting.  We limit the audience to 25 people and bring in 2-3 instructors to
cover the material over the course of two days.

I will follow up but please let me know what you think.

We will discuss this on the 2:30 pm call Tues.

I think what NERC needs to know is that their job is not done. Big issues were tied into the Stakeholder's recommendation - changes in governance, voting, funding.  The idea of expanding NERC's role is not for the sole purpose of getting NERC to develop business practices - but rather get NERC to recognize the market and commercial needs in its reliability rules.  Presently, NERC focuses on reliability rules and considers commercial impacts as a secondary issue.  This is what the Stakeholders wish to change.  We must make sure that message is not misconstrued by spin-doctors.

To ensure, this, the charter of NERC would need to change and the idea of a Self-Regulated Organization should cease.

Subject: New Role for NERC

Jose and Charles
Given the actions taken by the NERC Stakeholders Committee and Board
last week, we need to take steps to broaden stakeholder support and
endorsement of these recommendations, especially the one dealing with
NERC taking on an expanded role for the development of business practice
standards in addition to reliability standards.

At the FERC panel discussion last Thursday on standardizing business
practices, it was pretty clear that FERC is not going to make this call,
but rather leave it up to the industry to decide who assumes this
responsibility. In this regard, we would welcome the support of Enron
and EPSA.

Give me a call when you can so we can discuss where Enron is on this,
and how you might help gain EPSA's support.

Thanks.
dave

PS - I still remember that at the 1995 FERC Technical Conference on
OASIS it was Rick Shapiro who first spoke up in response to Betsy
Moler's question about who should take on the responsibility for
developing OASIS standards. Maybe Enron wants to be the first one to
publicly endorse the "New NERC" as the one-stop shop for wholesale
electric standards.


Dear Rosalee,

Please forward to Ken. thanks.

I am attaching my cv for you to have handy. If you are restructuring
Enron in the US and overseas let me know if I can give you a hand on the
international side.

Fyi, I am currently working as a consultant for the Bunge Corp and Bunge

DNRC Update
-----------

The DNRC has a whopping 330,000 members, each one so shockingly
attractive and intelligent that he or she can be used as a
defibrillator.  If you see someone whose heart has stopped, yell
"clear" then press your hands on the person's chest (do not make
the "honk-honk" sound if the victim is female) then start telling a
witty joke.  This method has never actually started anyone's heart,
but sometimes the bystanders get a kick out of it.

After Dogbert conquers the world you will have dominion over the
so-called In-duh-viduals. A DNRC member suggests that Induhviduals
above the age of 18 be called adolts.  I like that.  I propose that
the ones under 18 be called juvenile duh-linquents.

Shakespeare Hoax
----------------

I have come to the unsettling realization that Shakespeare was an
Induhvidual.  In case you haven't read any Shakespeare since you
were a gullible child, here's a little sampling of the Great Bard's
work from Macbeth:

-- start --

"That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold;
What hath quench'd them hath given me fire.
Hark! Peace!
It was the owl that shriek'd, the fatal bellman,
Which gives the stern'st good-night. He is about it:
The doors are open; and the surfeited grooms
Do mock their charge with snores: I have drugg'd their possets,
That death and nature do contend about them,
Whether they live or die."

-- end --

Now, maybe someone drugg'd my posset, but I'm fairly certain that
none of that makes any sense.

When I was a kid, if something made no sense to me, I assumed the
problem was on my end. But now that I am an adult, and I know
everything there is to know, I realize that the source of most
confusion is Induhviduals - sometimes economists, occasionally
poltergeists, but mostly Induhviduals.

Maybe the word "bard" meant something different a few hundred years
ago and that's what caused the confusion - as in, "He was so full
of bard you could grow squash in his earholes."

Or maybe some Irish people attended Shakespeare's plays and said
they were BORED, but it came out sounding like BARD to the English.
That could've happened.

There's really no excuse for Shakespeare's shoddy work.  If you
were Shakespeare, and you had nothing to do all day but sit around
in huge pants and write plays, don't you think you could at least
make them comprehensible?  To me, that seems like the minimum
requirement for a play: The audience should have a vague idea of
what the actors are saying.

I'm certain that the fans of Shakespeare will tell me I would enjoy
his work if only I took the time to understand it.  But that's like
saying I would love polka music if I took the time to translate it
in my head into the sound of a band I like.

I guess I just expect more from my bards.

Induhvidual Debating Technique
------------------------------

Lately I have found myself in e-mail discussions with Induhviduals
who employ debating tactics that are very similar.  I suspect they
are learning these methods in some sort of top-secret Induhvidual
training facility.

The Induhvidual debating technique involves four steps:

1.    Exaggerate your opponent's statement into an absurd absolute.

2.    Make an inappropriate analogy.
3.    Change the topic to something easier to defend.
4.    Claim victory.

For example:

Me:           Vegetables are good for you.

Induhvidual:  That's ridiculous.  If you ate a truckload of
              vegetables all at once you would die.

Me:           No one eats a truckload all at once.

Induhvidual:  Let me give you an analogy. If you tried to swim
              across the ocean, and you didn't know how to swim,
              and you had no arms or legs, you'd never make it.
              Surely you can agree with that.

Me:           Um...that's different.

Induhvidual:  Ha!  So now you agree with me that swimming is good
              exercise!

The worst part is that not only will you be frustrated at your
inability to make your point, you will be branded as the person who
thinks swimming is bad exercise.

True Tales of Induhviduals
--------------------------

Here are some more True Tales of Induhviduals as reported by
brilliant and observant DNRC members.

True Tale 1
-----------

My company posted a notice next to the time clock.  It said the
company calendar had a typo, that the union-won holiday wasn't
really a holiday at all.  The company blamed the printer for this
mistake.  (Nice try.)

But that's not the funny part.  The first line of the notice said,
"Please Take Notice." So the guy standing next to me took it.

True Tale 2
-----------

There are two doors in the restroom at work.  One is the exit and
the other, on the other side of the room, is a closet.  The closet
door is clearly labeled "closet."

The other day I was using the restroom and I heard an Induhvidual
open a door and exclaim, "Darn it! That's the closet again!"

True Tale 3
-----------

My boss had recently learned how to use spreadsheet software.  He
proudly called me into his office to show me a new trick he'd
learned. At one point during his demonstration he was moving his
mouse toward himself and it reached the edge of his desk. I watched
in amazement as he deftly rolled his mouse around the edge of the
desk and underneath.

I stifled my giggling and politely said, "You know, you don't need
to do that with the mouse." Whereupon he took offense and said, "I
know.  I usually grab a book and put it next to the desk and roll
the mouse onto it, but I just can't reach my books right now."  I
said, "Yeah, that's what I do," and excused myself before I broke a
rib trying not to laugh.

True Tale 4
-----------

I attend one of the top universities in the UK.  My housemate
recently surpassed his usual high standard of stupidity.  He needed
to open a bottle.  After hanging around looking helpless, someone
handed him a wine opener (the corkscrew type) that had a bottle
opener on one end.  My housemate disappeared for five minutes and
reappeared with an apologetic look on his face.  "I've broken it.
I'm sorry."

Under questioning he confessed that he had been trying to screw the
corkscrew through the top of the metal bottle cap.

True Tale 5
-----------

A VP of our company stood up at our company meeting and asked all
employees to look over the new website to make sure it was
"grammerly correct."

True Tale 6
-----------

My friend asked to be moved to a cubicle in a quieter place in the
office and her manager agreed. A couple of days later, the office
manager came by her new cube, distressed. He said that he had
really messed up because he gave her a cube that was too big for
her level/title in the company. Her cube was for a P-2 engineer
while she was only a P-1. The difference in size was only two
inches, but still, something had to be done.

A few days later, the office manager returned and said that to fix
the problem, my friend would be promoted to P-2 so she would then
be in the right size cube.

True Tale 7
-----------

Recently the Southern Hemisphere was treated to a total lunar
eclipse. During this event one Induhvidual standing in my street
suggested that we photograph it. Someone explained that the moon
would be difficult to photograph because it was completely darkened
by the shadow of Earth.  Her response was, "What about if I use the
flash?"

True Tale 8
-----------

A customer returned to our wireless phone store with the phone she
had recently purchased.  She complained that the phone worked fine
for the first two days and then suddenly went dead. I asked her how
long she had charged the battery.  She replied, "What do you mean,
charge?"

Upon further interrogation it became clear that she thought the
one- year warranty on the battery meant it would last that long.

True Tale 9
-----------

This is a True Tale that involves a sign I spotted nailed to a tree
along a dirt road somewhere in Iowa:

          I lost 75 lbs.
          Free Samples!
            555-1212

True Tale 10
------------

I recently went into a pizza shop in Katoomba (near Sydney,
Australia) that advertised, "log fire inside."  Next to the fully
enclosed, glass-fronted firebox was a sign, "Please don't touch the
fire."

True Tale 11
------------

I work at a secure R&D facility in the electronics industry. One
day a sign at the guard's desk located in the front lobby said,
"Guard is on rounds.  Visitors wait here!"

Being an upstanding DNRC member, I took it upon myself to add (in
big, bold letters) "...and don't steal my laptop!!!"

True Tale 12
------------

About four years ago we had a multiple choice test for one of our
digital design subjects.  A friend of mine had no clue in this
subject but could clearly see the answers of the person to his
left. So he copied them.

At the end of the exam we were informed that there were
TWO tests, alternating by row!  He had cheated off the wrong test!

But he got a good grade anyway!!  Why?  Because the person he had
cheated off had cheated off the person sitting next to him! Moral
of the story: Two Induhviduals make a right.

True Tale 13
------------

The other day at the gas station, while waiting in line to pay for
my gas, I commented to another customer how expensive gasoline had
become.  Her reply was, "You know, it doesn't really affect me; I
always put in twenty dollars every time I gas up."

True Tale 14
------------

I was in a meeting with a manager - one of those meetings where the
sole purpose is for her to make a speech and everyone to be
impressed - and she showed an example of how the figures would be
added up. It became apparent that she had no idea how you add or
subtract negative numbers.  I pointed out that the result of her
first example was wrong. What followed was a lively debate on how
you are meant to add or subtract negative numbers.  The prevailing
opinion was that there wasn't just one correct way of doing it, so
all the different manufacturers of calculators went with their own
conventions. I was told that my calculator worked differently than
hers. (And how many meetings have you been to that included a
concurrent test of two calculators?)

The meeting ended with her bemoaning the fact that she wasn't
getting any "buy-in" for her idea. A few days later she received,
anonymously, a picture of Prof. Stephen Hawking, with the caption,
"You must be at least this smart to invent your own branch of
math."

True Tale 15
------------

An Induhvidual in my physics class did his math with a pen. He had
to use lots of Liquid Paper to cover the mistakes. It was
recommended to him that he use a pencil. The next day I saw him
covering his pencil marks with Liquid Paper.

True Tale 16
------------

A few days ago I went to the copy place.  I needed 80 copies. The
guy told me that if I made fewer than 100 copies, each copy would
cost 4 cents. But if I made at least 100 copies I would get the
discounted rate of 2 cents per copy.

I told him to make 80 copies of the front of the document and make
20 copies of the blank back. I could use the blank paper later on
for other purposes. He probably never thought of this situation
before; he gave me an angry look but copied the documents anyway.

True Tale 17
------------

While waiting for a subway train, I overhead a woman complain
about the service: "I leave my apartment every day at the same
time, and every day I'm fifteen minutes late for work."

True Tale 18
------------

This is a direct quote from a newsletter I just received. It is the
summer vacation edition and includes this tip on a list of
"Luggage-Packing Secrets of the Pros."

     "SECRET TIP #3: Double the security of luggage padlocks
     with economical electrical ties. Since they must be cut
     to be removed, they're tamper-evident. (Remember to pack
     scissors!)"

Um...and where do you pack those scissors?

True Tale 19
------------

After pulling a ditsy temp secretary off phone duty (she put my
phone number instead of the caller's on phone messages), I assigned
her to something safe: labeling files.  This task did not include
the filing itself, which would have required a thorough grasp of
the alphabet; it only involved affixing colorful self-adhesive
labels to the outside edge of each file indicating the contract
number. The Induhvidual cheerfully labeled throughout the
afternoon, completing 150 files.  The next day, my regular
secretary asked why our files had been sealed closed with colorful
self-adhesive labels.

True Tale 20
------------

This is one I actually heard several years ago.

      "We've got to separate the weed from the shaft."

Invent Your Own Folk Saying
----------------------------

Sometimes I sit around inventing clever folk sayings in case I ever
need them.  Here are some of the ones I've come up with.  You might
have seen some of these in Dilbert books.

     I was happier than a kitten with a Q-tip.

     He was deader than a shrunken head at a Hackey Sack festival.

     I was busier than a beaver in a coffee lake.

     He changed more times than a baby in a beer-drinking contest.

     I was more nervous than a fan store owner with a comb-over.

     He was tenser than Jesse Jackson on Father's Day.

If you have any good ones of your own, send them to me at
scottadams@aol.com. I'll publish the best ones in the next
newsletter.

Dilberito
---------

I've been reading a lot about Mad Cow disease.  Scientists aren't
sure what's causing it.  My theory is that the cows are mad because
we keep eating them.

The obvious solution is to eat Dilberitos instead.  They're
vegetarian, yummy, and have 100% of your daily values of vitamins
and minerals.  Check Dilberito.com for availability.

If your college cafeteria doesn't carry them yet, see if your
credits can be transferred to someplace that does.

Dogbert Answers My Mail
-----------------------

In this section Dogbert answers the mail that I am too polite to
answer myself.  These are all based on real e-mail.  The names have
been changed to make them funnier.

Dear Mr. Adams,

My boyfriend enjoys your comics.  I usually give him Dilbert books
for presents, and I was wondering if you had any books that would
be an appropriate fit for Valentine's Day?

          Heather

Dear Heavybreather,

It's a bit late, but I recommend the latest Dilbert compilation, A
Treasury of Sundays.  If that doesn't put your boyfriend in the
mood for hot love it's probably because you cut your hair short so
you would save time getting ready in the morning.

         Sincerely,

         Dogbert

---

Dear Mr. Adams,

It's been a while since I worked at a company that uses buzzwords
and mission statements.  This one caught me off guard.  I thought
you might know the meaning...

           "OPERATIONALIZING THE STRATEGIES"

          Dennis

Dear Densest,

The phrase OPERATIONALIZING THE STRATEGIES can be understood by
breaking it down into its components:

OPERATIONALIZING = Remove internal organs using sharp instruments

THE = Put them in a paper bag

STRATEGIES = Light on fire, put on neighbor's porch, ring doorbell

         Sincerely,

         Dogbert

--

Dear Mr. Adams,

I have totally missed the humor of today's Dilbert comic.  Please
point me in the direction of the meaning, unless you don't care, in
which case just ignore me. Or have Dogbert insult me in the next
newsletter. That would be neat too.

          Gilbert

Dear Goober,

Please give me your address and I will have the answer delivered to
your house immediately.  Look for it in a flaming paper bag on your
porch.

         Sincerely,

         Dogbert

---

[Note:  I swear this next letter is real.]

Mr. Adams:

I have looked at(read) dilbert for one month and to this day I have
found nothing(and I mean nothing) interlectual or funny about your
column. Are you trying to show us(me) how stupid we are by reading
this trash? Well, you have succeded in that endeavor---- but no
more----I read the comics for entertainment and a good outlook for
the day. Dilbert only diffuses that feeling. Thanks but no thanks,

         G. Hitopoulos

Dear Hippopotamus,

I'm sorry you found nothing interlectual about the Dilbert comic
strip.  Mr. Adams will try harder to succede.

         Sincerely,

         Dogbert

Dilbert Fodder
---------------

What's bugging you about your job?  Let me know and you might see
it in a Dilbert comic or newsletter.  The best comic fodder
involves workplace peeves, devious strategies, frustrations of
dealing with others, conflicting objectives, unintended management
consequences, and of course my favorite - idiot bosses.

And I love True Tales of Induhviduals.

And if you're seeing any new management trends that need to be
mocked, I can help.  Send your suggestions to me at
scottadams@aol.com.  Short ones are better.

Yahoo! Messenger Launches ``IMVironments'' With Next Generation of Yahoo! Messenger Service; First Interactive, Multimedia Experience Delivered Within Yahoo! Messenger Window   SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct 22, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc.

(Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global communications, commerce and media company, today announced the next generation of its popular Yahoo!(R) Messenger (http://messenger.yahoo.com) service now enhanced with IMVironments(TM), a patent-pending technology that makes real-time communications even more personalized and expressive.   Yahoo! Messenger IMVironments -- "instant messaging environments" -- are interactive, themed backgrounds for Yahoo! Messenger conversations that appear directly in the instant messaging (IM) window and are shared virally among friends. IM is no longer restricted to just text and video, and with the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger, the instant messaging screen is being used in revolutionary new ways. By sending an IMVironment, friends can now select and share unique images and animated graphics, as well as video and music clips that appear directly on the IM screen without having to launch a new window or link to another site. IMVironments with music themes, such as the band Garbage's, let fans connect with their favorite bands by sharing and listening to the latest single, viewing a photomontage of an artist, watching the newest video and even purchasing CDs. Plus, people can play interactive games directly through IMVironments by selecting Yahoo! Fighter, an interactive game played and viewed by friends in real-time while simultaneously having a text conversation.   "With the introduction of IMVironments, we are the first to offer a truly interactive instant messaging experience, and have created an innovative new way to use Yahoo! Messenger as a complete viral marketing solution," said Lisa Pollock, director of messaging products at Yahoo!. "IMVironments offer our users a level of personalization that is not available through any other instant messaging service, and at the same time, provides a new means for companies to reach their target audience."   All On-Board: Best-of-Breed Marketing Partners Sign On  Top flight marketing partners including Ch@tAbles, Dilbert(TM), Garbage, Nintendo of America Inc., PEANUTS(TM), and Sanrio have signed on with Yahoo! Messenger IMVironments to reach Yahoo!'s large and rapidly growing instant messaging audience through the industry's first interactive, viral marketing tool. By collaborating with each company to customize their Yahoo! Messenger IMVironment with relevant marketing themes, first-ever interactive peer-entertainment tools, innovative multimedia effects, and unique layout designs, Yahoo! continues to be the Internet's partner of choice for creating essential marketing solutions.   "The Sanrio experience is all about friends communicating with friends. Instant messaging is just that, empowering them to stay in touch and share a frequent 'hello,'" said Bill Hensley, Sanrio marketing director. "As a featured Yahoo! Messenger IMVironment, Hello Kitty adds her special charm to this new viral technology, helping friends speak from the heart. The Yahoo!-Sanrio marketing partnership is extremely beneficial to our business by delivering our characters and brands directly to our target audience."   The Background on IMVironments  From blowing a cyber kiss to having a virtual snowball fight, users can pick from several fun, unique and interactive IMVironments including:   Ch@tAbles -- This IMVironment goes Hollywood, as humorous     celebrity sayings accompany dozens of animated emoticons. People     can also share music clips, video celebrity interviews and movie     trailers all within the window of this IMVironment.     Garbage -- While watching and sharing an exclusive photomontage of     the band Garbage, people can now listen to Garbage's newest     single, "Androgyny," directly from the Yahoo! Messenger window.     Fans can also link directly to Yahoo! Music     (http://music.yahoo.com) through this IMVironment to buy Garbage's     newest CD.     Last Shot -- People can now see their conversations unfold panel     by panel as each instant message conversation creates a new scene     from this popular comic series.     Nintendo Screenshots of the upcoming game, Super Smash Bros.     Melee, can be previewed and sent through this IMVironment. Gaming     fans can also become any of Nintendo's 13 most popular characters     including Mario and Pikachu when instant messaging their friends.     PEANUTS -- While an animated Woodstock flutters across the Yahoo!     Messenger window, people can now see Snoopy type along with their     friends as messages are being composed.     Sanrio -- Sanrio enthusiasts can invite Hello Kitty(R) to brighten     their Yahoo! Messenger window, and replace the classic Yahoo!     Messenger emoticons with exclusive Hello Kitty, Thomas the Bear,     Joey the Mouse, and Fifi the Sheep characters.     Yahoo! Fighter -- Friends suddenly become "players" when battling     one another in this Yahoo! Fighter IMVironment, bringing     interactive gaming to the Yahoo! Messenger window.  Other fun IMVironments include romantic falling hearts, a Zen-like fish tank, a winter wonderland, and a patriotic tribute to the American flag that allows users to donate to the American Red Cross and/or Salvation Army directly from the Yahoo! Messenger window. Every month, Yahoo! Messenger will introduce new IMVironments for its millions of users to enjoy and share with their friends.   More New Features  The Yahoo! Magic Crystal Ball -- Yahoo! Messenger has created the     first-ever graphical instant messaging "bot" for users to seek     answers to any questions they dare to ask. People can simply add     "magiccrystalball" to their Friends List to begin the adventure.     New Emoticons -- Yahoo! Messenger now has four new emoticons to     tell friends when they want their friends to be quiet, when they     are fed up, when they're feeling ill, or when they are just     clowning around.     Yahoo! Insider -- With all the new features available on Yahoo!     Messenger and the Yahoo! network, people now have an easy way to     get the latest scoop on their favorite Yahoo! services.     Typing Notification -- Now people can see when their friends are     typing a message to them. The typing notification will appear in     the status bar at the bottom of the instant message window.  Get the Message? More Messages Sent Than Ever!  Yahoo! Messenger continues to be a clear leader in the instant messaging industry with users sending 5.5 billion messages in September 2001/a, increasing 115 percent over the past year. According to the latest data released by Media Metrix Inc., Yahoo! Messenger is the fastest growing instant messaging service, increasing 43 percent in total usage minutes over the past six months./b Additionally, Yahoo! Messenger is the only instant messaging service where time spent per user has grown over the past six months, up 22 percent, while MSN and AIM have declined (-14 percent and -8 percent respectively)./c Also known as "stickiness," time spent per user is a key indicator of actual usage for messenger applications, as opposed to the unique user metric that may be skewed by the number of pre-loaded instant messenger applications on a desktop.

Messenger experience by leveraging our creative spirit, technological expertise, and deep understanding of online communications," added Pollock.

Subject: Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC)

Mark - I left a voice mail on your cell.

The Wind Production Tax Credit expires on December 31, 2001.   The PTC will
be extended.   There is significant bipartisan support for the PTC, the
revenue number is reasonable, and renewables are a key component of the
energy debate.

The question is when and how.  Two likely scenarios are:

1)  As part of the Energy Bill.  The House Ways and Means Committee will
mark-up the tax portions of the energy bill in mid-July.  We understand that
Chairman Thomas is committed to including the PTC as part of the Ways and
Means bill.  The Senate Finance Committee has not scheduled a mark-up.  While
the energy bill will be debated during July, final action will likely not
occur until after the August recess.   In this scenario, look to September at
the earliest.

2)  There are 10 provisions, including the PTC,  in the IRC that expire by
December 31, 2001.   Historically, Congress approves an "extenders" package
late in the session to keep the tax credits functioning.   While no one can
predict when Congress will adjourn, they are set to adjourn in early
October.  In this scenario, the PTC would be extended in late September at
the earliest.

Mark, this is Congress, so anything can change.

Call me with any questions at (202) 466-9158.

legal holds full responsibility for the advancement and resolution of these
issues. All responsibility and accountability lies in the hands of the
lawyers unless or until they request commercial assistance. This division of
responsibility is intended to eliminate  internal communication issues,
establish clear external communication with the counterparty, give clear and

resolve these issues.

The lawyers will take responsibility for keeping commercial informed at all
key points of the process. I will maintain final approval on significant

SUMMARY

Atlantic

Over the last week we have really seen the consequences of the wet and warm
winter in Europe with a total of some 1.7 million
tonnes being offered to us on the resell for delivery over the next couple of
months. As a consequence spot/Q2 prices are now
trading at $2 discount to replacement from South Africa ($40.75 FOB ARA
versus $42.75 replacement) - a concept which many are
struggling to get their head round. The Lion's share of the resell mkt is
South African which makes sense as the strong U.S. mkt has
taken what little slack there has been in the South American pipeline. In
truth, while the U.S. mkt has been steaming, only very limited
incremental tonnage from SAM has made it into the U.S. as the Utilities only
pay up for spot spot material. If the steep backwardisation
in the U.S. rolls forward there may remain opportunities to bury spot SAM
cargoes at high levels but one thing is for sure is that the
strong U.S domestic market will keep U.S. exports into Europe very low.

Pacific

Very few Australian cargoes have found their way to the fair shores of Europe
over the last few months and this has been a function of
the strong Pacific market at the back end of 2000 and indeed in part due to
the consolidation which has been going on, the latest
development to be Rio Tinto's acquirement of Peabody's asset's in Oz. We are
currently entering the period of negotiations between Oz
producers and the JSM's for pricing of their long-term contracts. It is not a
secret that the producer's plan to go for broke and are looking to
lock in prices above $30 FOB Newcastle - currently wud call the mkt $28.50.
JSM's are apparently holding tight citing world economic
slowdown.  At $28 the oz producer is making some $13 a tonne, the chinese are
due to export a further 6 million mt this year and steel
production is forecast to be down some 10% year on year - while we may see
some activity at higher prices in the short-term I think it
will be difficult for the producers to realise the numbers which they are
talking longer term. China is also talking prices of $30 which is
$3/4 higher than last year but have some $3 frt advantage versus Newcastle.

Gameplan

We are currently a total of 2.4 million mt short ARA (1 million API2 / 1.4
million SECA) with the bulk being in back end of this year. We will
continue to sell the front end aggressively in the belief that the mkt has
some further downside from where we are today - the mkt has merely
sold off on rumour thus far but when these cargoes actually start arriving
unsold into Europe there shud be some additional pressure on prices
if the stock situation does not improve in ARA - currently a 13 day lineup in
Rotterdam. There are reports of Siberian type weather heading our
way which cud increase burn temporarily but I donot think this will have a
significant impact. We are busy looking for any opportunity to sell
out of our South African long as Glencore tries to prop the mkt up and will
then look to buy back our physical shorts into Europe from the
Armada of coal which is due to arrive. Psychology shud create downward
pressure along the whole forward curve and we will be looking to
buy in some our deferred short sub $30 RBCT equivalent. Meanwhile we are
working to sell 3-5 year agreements with several utilities while
the mkt loiters in the higher regions of the historical range. We are also
talking with several producers about securing longer term contracts
which will give us a good supply base to work from going forward. In the
Pacific we will look for an opportunity to cover our CLP short on the
nearby but will look to the fundamentals to do their work bfor covering
anything further forward.

Barry,

It was a pleasure to discuss the upcoming gas supply needs of DWR and the
potential supply options that Enron may be able to provide . I am interested
in further exploring the discounted transportation/ supply program we
briefly discussed at this week's meeting. As for the payables, DWR is
following standard payment terms; the latter of 10 days after receipt of
invoice or the 25th of the month following delivery. DWR would not agree to
accelerating payments. Additionally, please be advised that DWR would be
contemplating relatively short term transactions with Enron at this time. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Mark Baldwin, IGS.

We can't wait for another meeting - we are in front of the OOC on Monday with the Enron Americas plan.

Here's my numbers (I got them from etrade!!!!!):

0 - 5000 transactions per day		$  8:00/normal transaction (including internals)
> 5,000 transactions			$ 10:00/normal transaction
Options					$ 10:00/ per option (using option grid)
Take or Pay				Minumum Number of transactions per annum = 1,000,000
Service Interruption (outage)		Reduction in our bill of $100,000		(less than 30 minutes)
					Reduction in our bill of $500,000		(greater then 30 minutes)
Per product type set up 			0		(its in your interest as the number of transactions is high in ENA.  It think this issue is for other groups.)
On development 			0		(its in your interest - I think this again an issue for other groups.)

Now we all have the same incentive - grow the number of trades. I think this is pretty close for us.  Only paying once for a sleeve trade.

Let the games begin!

Subject:	EnronOnline Budgeting Method

As you each have heard over the past few days, EnronOnline is currently looking at a new methodology for charging the business units for services in 2002.  We intend to move away from an allocation mindset into one where services (in the form of products, transactions, and development) are charged on a usage basis, allowing the business units to scale and develop their markets in a more cost responsive way.  My assistant will be contacting your offices to schedule 30 minutes with each of you on Friday, Oct 19th to go over the proposed plan and discuss its impact on next year's budget.  I am confident that this process will yield a method that accurately reflects the cost of EnronOnline and allows each of you to make sound financial decisions about your plans to use EnronOnline in 2002.

Please don't hesitate to call me before Friday with questions, and I look forward to meeting with you.

Good morning,

I have been summoned to appear on April 25, 2001.

Margaret,

Would you please make arrangements for a temporary to cover my desk.

Thank you,
Taffy X57373


Rob--

We should probably tread carefully in this area.  My understanding is that
University is the lead agency for permitting, and if the mitigated negative
declaration you provided to me is the final one, then I don't know if the
City has the authority to require a conditional use permit other than the
negative declaration that the University obtained (prepared?).  However, if
the neg dec was only preliminary, then the City has the opportunity to
provide comments, and I suppose it's theoretically possible that the City
could seek an injunction.  I don't know if the City has separate rules, but I
do know that under Fresno County rules, items that have a utility or
quasi-utility purpose are oftentimes exempt from the CUP process (unless I
suppose that the CEQA study requires it).

I think we should let the University take the lead on this because if it
turns out that the City is going to inject itself in the permitting process
then we don't want get in the middle of yet another delay-causing dispute.

Let me know how I can help.

Subject: Minutes from call with City of Fresno, Attorney

I received a phone call today from David Hale, City Attorney, with the City
of Fresno.  The following items below are issues that David brought up
regarding the CSU Fresno Project.  They are centered around the CEQA document
that was provided to them.

? David can not make recommendations and/or comments to the City's Team with
the scope of the 115kV line from the PG&E Herndon/Bullard Sub. to the CSU
Fresno Sub. not being fully defined.  i.e. overhead or under ground, PG&E or
CSU Fresno owning the line.
? David has numerous issues either way should PG&E owns the line or CSU
Fresno.
? David is investigating whether or not there is a public utility easement
located at Bullard.  He indicated that the likelihood is high that there is.
? If PG&E installs and owns the line then there are set of rules that the
City has in place for this work to be conducted by a public utility governed
by the CPUC.  The easement issues are broad under this scenario.
? David indicated that should PG&E install and own the 115kV line, that an
encroachment permit will not suffice.  He indicated that a Conditional Use
Permit would need to be utilized.
? David stated that should CSU Fresno want to install and own the 115kV line
that this is an area that is "convoluted and complex".  There would be a
tremendous amount of legal issues around this.  i.e. can the City grant this
easement to the University?  With the line being dedicated to the University
what does that mean?  Does CSUF have a legal right to this easement?
? It sounds like the City has never dealt with this type of issue and does
not have set of rules and/or regulations dealing with this.
? David stated that he might be in the next meeting with the University, EES,
and Fresno.

I will advise everyone should there be any other developments in this area
prior to the upcoming meeting with the City.  Let me know if you have any
comments or questions.
