COLOMBIA: Colombia sets new date for key utility privatization.
12/13/2000
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2000.

BOGOTA, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The embattled Colombian government on Wednesday
set a deadline of June 30 next year for its often delayed privatization of
state-run power generator ISAGEN.
The 1,636 megawatt generator, the country's third-largest and valued at about
$450 million, was most recently due to have been sold by Sept. 30 as part of
a year-old plan agreed with the International Monetary Fund to help boost
government revenues and meet tight budget targets.
But it was delayed indefinitely until just last week when the Council of
State - a tribunal set up to resolve disputes between the government and
private sector - struck down an injunction blocking the sale that was based
on a complaint from Empresas Publicas de Medellin (EPM), Colombia's largest
public utility.
EPM has argued that it has been unfairly excluded from the bidding process
for ISAGEN by government regulators, on grounds that its ownership of the
company would violate antitrust laws by giving it a virtual monopoly over
Colombia's power generating capacity.
Finance Minister Juan Manuel Santos said in September that the government was
determined to finalize the ISAGEN sell-off by the end of this year, once the
Council of State ruled as expected in the government's favor.
But Santos, who spoke to reporters as he emerged from a cabinet meeting at
the presidential palace, said legal loopholes, possible changes in the
price-tag for ISAGEN, and the need to update paperwork related to its
privatization would now postpone the deal until June 30.
"We have to restart this whole process. We're going to study the valuation
and reopen negotiations with possible buyers to see how we can put ISAGEN up
for sale at the best price as soon as possible," Santos said.
The sale of ISAGEN, considered one of the crown jewels in the government's
troubled privatization program, had originally been expected to take place
last December. It was later slated for the first half of 2000, at a time when
government sources said leading bidders included U.S. energy group Enron .
The sell-off in the first half of this year was delayed, until the elusive
Sept. 30 deadline, amid a flurry of attacks on the national power grid by
Marxist rebel saboteurs and legal challenges to the sale from ISAGEN's own
labor union.

2:58 (Dow Jones) As credit quality concerns dog investors, Bear Stearns'
analyst Amy Butte says in a report Wednesday that investment banks are
increasing liquidity to historically high levels, which could be a sign of
either a more conservative bent or a premonition of risk, she said. (CWM)
2:48 (Dow Jones) Gridlock may put some of Bush's measures, such as school
vouchers and Social Security privatization, on hold. But rebel Democrats may
help pass all or most of Bush's tax cuts, says economist Ian Morris at HSBC.
That wouldn't prevent hard landing in 2001, but the stimulus will be felt by
2002. By 2003, Morris says, the surplus could be more like $250 billion than
CBO's projected $400 billion. (SV)
2:39 (Dow Jones) OK, so it wasn't an unprecedented ruling that determined our
next president, but there was a big ruling in the HMO arena concerning
provider lawsuits. Chase H&Q calls judge's decision granting certain parts
and denying other parts of various defendant's motions a minor victory for
HMOs. Ruling positive for Wellpoint (WLP) and Aetna (AET), mildly positive
for Cigna (CI) and United Healthcare (UNH), mixed for PacifiCare (PHSY), and
has no impact on Humana (HUM). (TG)
2:30 (Dow Jones) March S&Ps, which have spent all day in negative territory,
are focusing on the fundamentals now that the election outcome is more
certain. And the fundamentals don't look too bullish, given the earnings
warnings of recent days, particularly from computer and chip-makers,
off-floor traders say. "We probably won't be heading any higher tomorrow than
where we are today," he said. (ZHS)
2:20 (Dow Jones) The intraday low for Toronto's TSE 300 Index is 9103.95,
practically significant weekly support at 9103.64. The index is now pointed
up to about 9500 at least, if the intraday low holds. A daily close below
9103.64 means that the index is headed back to to the lower 8500 handle. (SC)
2:15 (Dow Jones) Lehman's Jeff deGraaf says that while he is not a big fan of
energy names currently, Ultramar Diamond Shamrock (UDS) has one of the best
looking charts in the sector. Nice base off which to rally, and shares are
above both 50-day and 200-day moving average. Stop under $26. (TG)
2:00 (Dow Jones) Tough day for Applied Materials (AMAT) and semi group.
Salomon, Merrill downgrade AMAT, and Prudential lowers estimates on company
and several other semiconductor names. Pru also has an "implied trough value"
for semi companies, and they're not pretty: AMAT $28-$27, KLAC $20-$26, KLIC
$8, LRCX $14-$18, NVLS $22-$31, and TER $15-$30. (TG)
1:45 (Dow Jones) Celestica (CLS) and NEC Corp. (NIPNY) could be about to hook
up again. TD Securities analyst Mark Lucey says Celestica is looking for
regulatory approval to buy a unit of NEC in the U.K. This after NEC said
Tuesday it is in talks to sell its mobile phone production facilities in the
U.K. and Mexico. In June, Celestica acquired NEC's manufacturing plant in
Brazil as part of a five-year, $1.2 billion supply agreement. In addition,
Nokia is looking to move into Brazil and said it will use Celestica to
manufacture GSM wireless base stations after securing contract wins,
according to Lucey. (SEW)
1:43 (Dow Jones) Said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Austin, Tex.:
"With a mere one-person majority of the Court and a definiite minority of the
national vote, President-elect Bush is off to a tough start. All of us have a
stake in the success of his presidency. Now is the time to join with him,
without foresaking principle, to seek common ground in addressing the
nation's needs." (JC)
1:29 (Dow Jones) The chance of a rate cut at the next FOMC meeting next week
is modest, but on the rise and helping to fuel Tsys gains, says bond
strategist. Fed Funds futures showing 15% to 20% chance of rate cut on Dec.
19, strategist says. 30-year now at session high, up 22/32 at 111 3/32, yield
down 4 bp at 5.49%. (JNP)
1:22 (Dow Jones) Prudential Vector analyst Timothy Anderson lowered Alza
(AZA) to accumulate from strong buy because of valuation. With positive
prescription trends for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medicine
Concerta and strong market shares of overactive bladder treatment Ditropan
XL, Anderson said Alza shares are "priced for perfection and expectations are
high - any slight upset could weigh heavily on the stock." Shares fell about
8.5%. (BMM)
1:13 (Dow Jones) Online and discount broker Charles Schwab Corp. (SCH) sees
meeting the 14 cents that analysts expected for its fourth quarter earnings
per share as a challenge, unless there is a big surge in trading activity or
the firm cuts costs sharply. Schwab shares are off 2.7%. (GFC)
1:10 (Dow Jones) Enron's (ENE) current chief executive and chairman, Kenneth
Lay, says he categorically won't be taking a job in a new presidential
administration. "I have no plans to go to Washington, and no plans to leave
Houston or Enron. I can say categorically that I won't be taking a job in a
Bush cabinet," Lay said in an interview. (MPG)
1:07 (Dow Jones) Vlasic Foods International (VL) apparently has received bids
for both the entire company and individual parts, according to Merrill
Lynch's Len Teitelbaum. The troubled pickle maker has been on the block since
March. Teitelbaum says a deadline of Feb. 28 has been set by the banks
involved. He estimates stockholders could reap proceeds of 89 cents to $1.00
a share at the completion of a sale. Teitelbaum is convinced that "the main
objective of (Vlasic's) management now is to make the bondholder whole." As a
result, the analyst no longer maintains an investment opinion on the stock.

12:10 (Dow Jones) Bond market issuance was down 25% during the first three

11:57 (Dow Jones) Veritas (VRTS) continues to feel pressure (shares down 6%)

Merrill defends Veritas, saying it's on track to meet or exceed fourth

11:51 (Dow Jones) A lot of news and bond friendly data today, but not any big

a rebound in stocks will be enough to push Treasury prices back toward
unchanged on the day. (SV)L)

2:20 (Dow Jones) The intraday low for Toronto's TSE 300 Index is 9103.95,
practically significant weekly support at 9103.64. The index is now pointed
up to about 9500 at least, if the intraday low holds. A daily close below
9103.64 means that the index is headed back to to the lower 8500 handle. (SC)
2:15 (Dow Jones) Lehman's Jeff deGraaf says that while he is not a big fan of
energy names currently, Ultramar Diamond Shamrock (UDS) has one of the best
looking charts in the sector. Nice base off which to rally, and shares are
above both 50-day and 200-day moving average. Stop under $26. (TG)
2:00 (Dow Jones) Tough day for Applied Materials (AMAT) and semi group.
Salomon, Merrill downgrade AMAT, and Prudential lowers estimates on company
and several other semiconductor names. Pru also has an "implied trough value"
for semi companies, and they're not pretty: AMAT $28-$27, KLAC $20-$26, KLIC
$8, LRCX $14-$18, NVLS $22-$31, and TER $15-$30. (TG)
1:45 (Dow Jones) Celestica (CLS) and NEC Corp. (NIPNY) could be about to hook
up again. TD Securities analyst Mark Lucey says Celestica is looking for
regulatory approval to buy a unit of NEC in the U.K. This after NEC said
Tuesday it is in talks to sell its mobile phone production facilities in the
U.K. and Mexico. In June, Celestica acquired NEC's manufacturing plant in
Brazil as part of a five-year, $1.2 billion supply agreement. In addition,
Nokia is looking to move into Brazil and said it will use Celestica to
manufacture GSM wireless base stations after securing contract wins,
according to Lucey. (SEW)
1:43 (Dow Jones) Said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Austin, Tex.:
"With a mere one-person majority of the Court and a definiite minority of the
national vote, President-elect Bush is off to a tough start. All of us have a
stake in the success of his presidency. Now is the time to join with him,
without foresaking principle, to seek common ground in addressing the
nation's needs." (JC)
1:29 (Dow Jones) The chance of a rate cut at the next FOMC meeting next week
is modest, but on the rise and helping to fuel Tsys gains, says bond
strategist. Fed Funds futures showing 15% to 20% chance of rate cut on Dec.
19, strategist says. 30-year now at session high, up 22/32 at 111 3/32, yield
down 4 bp at 5.49%. (JNP)
1:22 (Dow Jones) Prudential Vector analyst Timothy Anderson lowered Alza
(AZA) to accumulate from strong buy because of valuation. With positive
prescription trends for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medicine
Concerta and strong market shares of overactive bladder treatment Ditropan
XL, Anderson said Alza shares are "priced for perfection and expectations are
high - any slight upset could weigh heavily on the stock." Shares fell about
8.5%. (BMM)
1:13 (Dow Jones) Online and discount broker Charles Schwab Corp. (SCH) sees
meeting the 14 cents that analysts expected for its fourth quarter earnings
per share as a challenge, unless there is a big surge in trading activity or
the firm cuts costs sharply. Schwab shares are off 2.7%. (GFC)
1:10 (Dow Jones) Enron's (ENE) current chief executive and chairman, Kenneth
Lay, says he categorically won't be taking a job in a new presidential
administration. "I have no plans to go to Washington, and no plans to leave
Houston or Enron. I can say categorically that I won't be taking a job in a
Bush cabinet," Lay said in an interview. (MPG)
1:07 (Dow Jones) Vlasic Foods International (VL) apparently has received bids
for both the entire company and individual parts, according to Merrill
Lynch's Len Teitelbaum. The troubled pickle maker has been on the block since
March. Teitelbaum says a deadline of Feb. 28 has been set by the banks
involved. He estimates stockholders could reap proceeds of 89 cents to $1.00
a share at the completion of a sale. Teitelbaum is convinced that "the main
objective of (Vlasic's) management now is to make the bondholder whole." As a
result, the analyst no longer maintains an investment opinion on the stock.
(VL)
1:00 (Dow Jones) Tech boutique Thomas Weisel Partners reiterated its buy
rating and raised its 2001 revenue projections for SonicWall (SNWL), to
$125.2 million from $106.4 million, saying the computer firewall maker's
acquisition of Phobos will boost market share in internal transaction
security as well as traditional firewall appliances. "Visibility and and
business momentum continue to be strong," said analyst Mark Edelen. (MER)

Energy Insight News for Tuesday, November 27, 2001
Transmission system needs quick fix

It's been called the "best investment a nation ever made." Throughout its
history, it has enriched the country's quality of life, positioned the U.S.
for international competitiveness and enhanced national security.

The words describe the U.S. interstate highways, but substitute electrons
for motor vehicles and it aptly portrays the country's "other" interstate
system: its transmission system.

If the national system of roads brought the country closer together and made
it easier to get from "here to there," the nation's system of high capacity
cables certainly has done the same.

However, while the concrete and macadam highways have a method to fund
repairs and to expand, no modern modus operandi currently exists to grow the
wires system.

With the ongoing industry restructuring and the shift from self-contained,
vertically integrated fiefdoms with their own portions of the grid, no one
wants to take the step of funding new transmission if the return on
investment is low-or even uncertain.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission first urged, then demanded,
utilities give up control of their wires to regional transmission
organizations (RTOs) to smooth out the transmission system, but even that
mandate seems to be bogged down in the realities of such a massive endeavor.

Dynegy mulling renegotiation of Enron deal
A source close to the Dynegy/Enron merger talks Monday afternoon said "all
the parties in the transaction" are currently in discussions that could lead
to a renegotiation of the deal. The source could not comment on what parts
of the proposed deal were specifically under review. Enron's stock, down to
just over $4/share at Monday's close, is about $6 below its price at the
time of the $8.9 billion stock-for-stock deal announced Nov. 9, which valued
Enron shares at roughly $10.85/share. A Dynegy spokesman said today that
Dynegy was still conducting "due diligence". The source close to the talks
acknowledged suggestions that other companies may have an interest in
acquiring Enron. When asked if renegotiations of the deal were currently
underway, the source re-emphasized that Dynegy is currently "talking to all
the parties in the transaction."

NAFTA panel urges study of power deregulation, pollution
The North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) wants the
U.S., Canada and Mexico to address pollution issues before energy markets
open up between the countries, officials with the international agency said
Monday. "There is a momentum toward restructured North America energy
markets, but what's missing is the environmental context," said Paul Miller,
CEC's program manager for air quality. The CEC was created to act as an
environmental watchdog as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The CEC officials noted Mexican power plants produce more pollution than
ones in the U.S. and expressed concern that companies will build plants in
Mexico to avoid tougher U.S. regulations, only to sell the power in the U.S.
They said this might cause unduly high pollution in border areas.

Assuming they are willing to withdraw their protest if we agree to this level

Phil Richardson and Sarah Tomalty of Dynegy say that they would probably
(i.e. subject to management approval) withdraw their protest if we would
amend our proposed tariff language to limit the quantity of capacity we can
acquire from PNM to 20,000/day.  Their chief concern is to prevent TW from
becoming simply a broker for another pipeline's capacity (which has never
been our intention).  Lorraine is discussing this with Steve to see whether
this is something we could live with.  The Commission has expressed the same
concern in the past, so this might make them more comfortable with our
proposal too.  Comments?  let me know.

APPALACHIAN PRODUCER NOTICE

POSTED May 23, 2000

Dear West Virginia Producer,

Over the last several years, Dominion Transmission has worked hard providing
additional value to producers on its gathering system and through innovative
projects and joint ventures.  In continuing with that process to bring you
more value for your local production and to improve the efficiency of our
gathering system, we would like to continue a process where compression
into our gathering system may be approved.  We have been able to grant a
limited number of these requests in the past, and would now like to make
this opportunity somewhat more widely available to the producers.

For this second offering, the process we will use is as follows:  For a
period of 30 days, beginning 12:00 Noon on May 24, 2000, the Gathering and
Production Division of Dominion Transmission will accept applications for
compression rights into its gathering system for gas feeding its SCHUTTE
compressor station.  The Dominion "bubbles" affected are 4404 & 4405.
Dominion recognizes that, although limited, there does exist the incremental
capacity for throughput through these compressor stations.  The incremental
capacity authorized through new compression agreements will not exceed the
limit Dominion determines to be the capacity of the existing compressors.
Dominion will attempt to be flexible in approving the applications it
receives, but will limit approved applications so as to not unreasonably
interfere with the production from the existing non-compressed gas entering
the system.  Please submit your written application to Joe Thompson at the
Dominion Gathering & Production Office.  The application must indicate the
amount of "incremental" gas for the specific compression agreement.
Dominion recognizes that the installation of compression requires differing
time frames.  We will balance that consideration with our need to insure
that the application process is not abused to the disadvantage of other
producers; therefore, once granted, the applicant must have the compression
in place and operable within six months of Dominion's approval, or the rights
to all unconstructed capacity will be forfeited.  In the event that more
requests for compression rights for incremental gas are received than for
which there is capacity, Dominion will award the rights on a prorated basis.

Please include in your written request the mid number or a map of the
proposed
location where you will be requesting to install compression.  Also include
the incremental volume you are wishing to transport under the compression
agreement.  Your name, company name and address, state of incorporation,
phone and fax number, as well as an e-mail address, if available, should
be included (please print or type).

Forward this information to:
    Joseph A. Thompson
    Manager, Business Development
    Dominion Transmission
Gathering & Production Division
    500 Davisson Run Road
    Clarksburg, WV  26301

After all requests are received, we will review the request and make a
determination on granting compression based on capacity available and the
capacity requests.  You will be contacted as soon as possible after
June 23, 2000 to notify you of those requests that have been approved.
Please realize that this is a "window" and the opportunity will close
after Noon on June 23, 2000.

I hope that this will provide opportunity for you to increase the value
of your production facilities, and I look forward to working with you on
this opportunity to add compression.  You can contact Joe Thompson at
(304) 623-8709 or Dan Stuart at (304) 623-8705 with any questions you may
have regarding this compression  "open season" request on Dominion Gathering.

After all requests are received, we will review the request and make a
determination on granting compression based on capacity available and the
capacity requests.  You will be contacted as soon as possible after
June 23, 2000 to notify you of those requests that have been approved.
Please realize that this is a "window" and the opportunity will close

I hope that this will provide opportunity for you to increase the value
of your production facilities, and I look forward to working with you on
this opportunity to add compression.  You can contact Joe Thompson at
(304) 623-8709 or Dan Stuart at (304) 623-8705 with any questions you may

Dear West Virginia Producer,

Over the last several years, Dominion Transmission has worked hard providing
additional value to producers on its gathering system and through innovative
projects and joint ventures.  In continuing with that process to bring you
more
value for your local production and to improve the efficiency of our gathering
system, we would like to continue a process where compression into our
gathering
system may be approved.  We have been able to grant a limited number of these
requests in the past, and would now like to make this opportunity somewhat
more
widely available to the producers.

For this second offering, the process we will use is as follows:
For a period of 30 days, beginning 12:00 Noon on May 10, 2000, the Gathering
and Production Division of Dominion Transmission will accept applications for
compression rights into its gathering system for gas feeding its JONES and
ORMA
compressor stations.  The Dominion "bubbles" affected are 3205, 3206 and 3207
for Jones station and 3201, 3202, 3203 and 3204 for Orma station.   Dominion
recognizes that, although limited, there does exist the incremental capacity
for throughput through these compressor stations.  The incremental capacity
authorized through new compression agreements will not exceed the limit
Dominion determines to be the capacity of the existing compressors.
Dominion will attempt to be flexible in approving the applications it
receives,
but will limit approved applications so as to not unreasonably interfere with
the production from the existing non-compressed gas entering the system.
Please submit your written application to Joe Thompson at the Dominion
Gathering & Production Office.  The application must indicate the amount of
"incremental" gas for the specific compression agreement.  Dominion
recognizes
that the installation of compression requires differing time frames.  We will
balance that consideration with our need to insure that the application
process
is not abused to the disadvantage of other producers; therefore, once granted,
the applicant must have the compression in place and operable within six
months
of Dominion's approval, or the rights to all unconstructed capacity will be
forfeited.  In the event that more requests for compression rights for
incremental gas are received than for which there is capacity, Dominion
will award the rights on a prorated basis.

Please include in your written request the mid number or a map of the
proposed location where you will be requesting to install compression.  Also
include the incremental volume you are wishing to transport under the
compression agreement.  Your name, company name and address, state of
incorporation, phone and fax number, as well as an e-mail address, if
available,
should be included (please print or type).

Forward this information to:
    Joseph A. Thompson
    Manager, Business Development

Subject: IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN

Once again, it's time to find out what you think about your work experience
at Enron and what we can do to help make it better.  That's why we want to
check your pulse.  In fact, we've changed the name of last year's "Excellence
Through Communication" employee survey to The Pulse.  We believe The Pulse
more accurately captures the purpose of the survey.  Your diagnosis will help
us correct problem areas so we can continue to make Enron a great place to
work.

Is available:  Monday, October 16 ) Friday, Oct. 27
Is located at: survey.enron.com

There are a few things we want you to remember about The Pulse:

1. Your survey responses will be confidential.  You can complete your survey
at your desktop or at special computer kiosks that are set up in some of our
larger offices.  Several group computer terminals also will be available in
smaller field offices.  We want to provide you with the most comfortable
environment possible, as your participation is of vital importance to us.
2. We will respond actively to your comments.  We are going to do our best to
cure some of the current problems that exist and put into action preventative
processes that will help identify smaller problems before they become major
ones.  We may ask for your help in resolving some of the issues that are
collected in the survey ) your active role will help us identify the best
solutions.
In last year's survey, you identified several problem areas regarding
internal communications and we've already acted on many of your
recommendations.  These are a few of the things we've accomplished or are
working on in direct response to your input:
1. Require all executives (VP and above) to attend the Executive Impact &
Influence course, which is a 360-degree program designed to improve
leadership and communication skills.  By year-end, more than 90 percent will
have attended this course, with the remaining 10 percent to be trained in the
first quarter of 2001.
2. Offer all employees online communication courses.  These courses will be
available in the first quarter of 2001.
3. Improve our online communication tools, beginning in the fourth quarter,
2000:
   w Simplify and standardize Enron directories
   w Educate all employees about the availability and usage of IT tools.
   w Promote intelligent/responsible use of email.
4. Introduce Participation & Dissent (P&D) sessions to provide a vehicle for
solving problems, addressing issues and developing new opportunities.  This
application will launch in the first quarter of 2001 in the ThinkBank on
eThink.

So take a few minutes to check your pulse and tell us what you think and how
you feel about your job and about Enron.

NFL Reports, Player Updates

Latest NFL Player News

Derrick Mason, WR TEN - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Mason caught eight passes for 107 yards and a TD against Green Bay. Right now, he is one of Fantasy Football's best wideouts in terms of consistency.

Skip Hicks, RB TEN - McKay Updated 12/16/01
Hicks rushed for 142 yards and a TD as the Titans used him often to give a banged-up Eddie George some breathers. Expect to see more of Hicks from the Titans in the final weeks of the year, although George will remain the team's top RB!
 o!
ption.

Antonio Freeman, WR GB - McKay Updated 12/16/01
The Titans limited Freeman to 42 yards on two catches. If your team is moving on in the playoffs, however, you can expect better numbers from Freeman in the weeks ahead.

Ahman Green, RB GB - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Green had an awful outing at Tennessee, finishing with just nine rushing yards and 24 receiving yards. Expect him to quickly rebound from such a poor performance.

Stephen Davis, RB WAS - TexOK Updated 12/16/01
Davis had a big game for Washington, posting 146 all-purpose yards against Philadelphia. He was held out of the end zone, but Davis is still worthy of starting consideration in most Fantasy leagues.

Tony Banks, QB WAS - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Banks? numbers were subpar against Philadelphia. He threw for 186 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the game, and isn?t reliable enough to be considered a starter during the Fantasy playoffs.

Darrell Jackson, WR SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Jackson caught four passes for 85 yards against Dallas. He continues to be one of the most underrated and reliable receivers in the AFC.

Donovan McNabb, QB PHI - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
McNabb had a decent outing against Washington, throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns. He did throw three interceptions as well, but McNabb will be a solid starter during the Fantasy playoffs.

Shaun Alexander
, RB SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Alexander carried seven times for 27 yards and a TD in relief of an injured Ricky Watters on Sunday. He saw limited action until Watters went down in the second half, and his playing time may continue to be sparse when Watters is healthy.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Pink Panthers Updated 12/16/01
Smith was virtually useless on Sunday, running for only 39 yards on 12 carries vs. Seattle. Smith can be productive when he gets enough carries, but he?s a real gamble during the Fantasy playoffs otherwise.

Quincy Carter<!
/A>, QB DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Carter had a horrible game on Sunday, going 14-of-33 for 135 yards with an interception against Seattle. He has no value as a Fantasy player in any league.

Daunte Culpepper, QB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01

Culpepper will probably need to undergo arthroscopic surgery this week on a sprained left knee that kept him out of the Vikings 27-24 loss to Detroit on Sunday.  "It's a small scope, not a big deal at all," Minnesota coach Dennis Green said. "Whether it's a 10-day injury or a two-week injury, you never know." Culpepper had been expected to play this week after sitting out last week. He began the week listed as probable, but was downgraded to doubtful after his knee was still swelling and sore after taking some snaps on Wednesday and Thursday. He sat out of Friday's practice and was officially listed as inactive.

Lamar Smith, RB MIA - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Smith carried nine times for only 22 yards at San Francisco. The Miami RB has been very incons!
is!
tent in recent weeks, but he still may be good for a few TD runs during the remainder of the Fantasy playoffs.

Todd Pinkston, WR PHI - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Pinkston left Sunday's game against Washington in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. He did not return to the contest, and finished with two catches for 77 yards and a score.

Jay Fiedler, QB MIA - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01

Fiedler threw for 149 yards, no TDs and was intercepted three times at San Francisco. The Miami QB is too erratic to be a regular starter for any Fantasy team during the playoffs.

Ricky Watters, RB SEA - McKay Updated 12/16/01
Watters left Sunday's game against Dallas in the fourth quarter with an injured right ankle. He was replaced by Shaun Alexander.

Garrison Hearst, RB SF - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Hearst rushed for 103 yards on 26 carries against Miami on Sunday. He was held out of the end zone, but Hearst is still a good enough player!
 t!
o start during the Fantasy playoffs.

Jeff Garcia, QB SF - Fear Updated 12/16/01
garcia left Sunday's game with sore ribs in the first half, then returned later. Tim Rattay played much of the second half in his place.

Scotty Anderson, WR DET - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Anderson caught one pass for 69 yards against Minnesota. He will catch an occasional long ball, but Anderson is not producing enough to be useful for most Fantasy teams right now.

Mike McMahon, QB DET - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
McMahon threw for 241 yards and rushed for 74 yards and a TD against Minnesota. He will be a sevicable backup during the Fantasy playoffs.

Cris Carter, WR MIN - Top Dogs Updated 12/16/01
The Lions held Carter to 30 yards on three catches. Still, the veteran receiver is too experienced and potentially productive to bench during any week of the Fantasy playoffs.

Mich!
ae!
l Bennett, RB MIN - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Bennett rushed for only 40 yards on 10 carries at Detroit. The rookie back is too inconsistent to rely on during the Fantasy postseason.

Peerless Price, WR BUF - Grigsby Updated 12/16/01
Price caught four passes for 67 yards against New England. He appears to be Buffalo's most reliable Fantasy player at this time.

Alex Van Pelt, QB BUF - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01

The Patriots limited Van Pelt to 219 passing yards, no TDs and one interception. Right now, the Buffalo QB is not playing well enough to start for any Fantasy team.

Terry Glenn, WR NE - The Rocks Updated 12/16/01
The Bills held Glenn to 27 yards on three catches. Glenn has missed too much time this year to regularly post good numbers for New England.

Tom Brady, QB NE - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Brady had another disappointing game, throwing for 237 yards, no TDs and an interception at Buffalo. All of a sudden, the New England QB appears !
to!
 be a Fantasy risk during the most important weeks of the year.

Dominic Rhodes, RB IND - Free Agent Updated 12/16/01
Rhodes rushed for 177 yards and two TDs against Atlanta. The Colts are out of the playoff hunt, yet Rhodes will keep many Fantasy teams in the running for a title.

Peyton Manning, QB IND - Grigsby Updated 12/16/01
Manning got back on track with 325 passing yards, three TDs and an interception against the Colts. He remains a must-start player in all Fantasy leagues.

Derrick Alexander, WR KC - Top Dogs Updated 12/16/01
Alexander had four catches for 72 yards and a touchdown against Denver. He's been playing better in recent weeks, but Alexander is still a risky play outside of deeper Fantasy leagues.

Tony Martin, WR ATL - TexOK Updated 12/16/01
Martin caught seven passes for 84 yards and a TD at Indianapolis. Don't expect consistently good numbers from him during the Fantasy postseason.

Dr. Harris:
 I would like to thank you for personally taking the time to closely review
my application. Though I am disappointed with the results I am still
determined to attend The TEXAS Graduate School of Business next year.  I
understand how competitive the process has become, but I felt that with my
work experiences, recommendations, personality, extracurricular activities,
etc. that this would compensate for my disability.  After talking with
Professors Titman, Ronn, Brown and Jemison, I was sure that the School was
the right place to get the education I was looking for.
  I am still certain that the School is the best place for getting a great
graduate-level education, so I want you to know that I am going to do
whatever it takes to get in next year.  I plan on taking two or three
graduate level finance courses at the University of Houston this Summer and
Fall to demonstrate to the Admissions committee that I can compete at the
graduate level. I also plan on retaking the GMAT test.  Due to my disability,
this will be a monumental task; but I am determined to prove to the Committee
that I can be successful at The TEXAS Graduate School of Business.  I would
like to come down to Austin this spring to meet with you to further discuss
my application file and to personally meet you.
  If you think of anything else I can do to strengthen my overall application
file for next year, please let me know.  Take care and hope to hear from you
soon.

Sincerely,

Ben Rogers


Rich,  You did mean September 4th instead of October I hope.  I know your doing this to see if anyone really reads your e:mails.

As you know the Gallup motor is being repaired by Industrial Repair Service in Farmington, NM. After a lot of discussion with Alstrom in the States and England they allowed us to have the motor repaired here instead of shipping back to England. This will save us approximately five weeks since it can be repaired in three weeks here versus seven to eight weeks in England. It will be out of the shop in Farmington on the 20th of September  and we'll be ready to install immediately.

The repair costs will be $150,000 and we ETS will be obligated to pay the difference in what Alstrom could have did it for. We'll also ask for whatever dollars it would have cost to send it to England and back.  Industrial Repair Service is doing the job for ETS so this means we will be held responsible for the repair cost and will have to recover our dollars from Alstrom. Arnold will work with Alstom on this after the unit is repaired. I'll assist in any way I can.

We'll still have two years warranty on the motor and Alstom will be responsible to ETS for this.

Thanks for everyone's help on this and we'll continue to have conference calls until we have the unit in service. In case you would like to join the call the next one will be October 4th at 07:30 MST. Call in number 1-877-795-3687   code 844699.

Below are pictures showing the damage. If I have missed anyone please pass the information on.

Mom & Ken,

The Astros playoff tickets were much appreciated.  I had a great time  even though the outcome of the two games was not as we would have liked.   Heather & I took her Dad and Josh (two baseball die-hards) to one of the  games and I took some friends to the other.  Everyone was thrilled to be  able to go and extremely thankful for the tickets.  Thanks again for your  generousity and more importantly, not objecting to me being out of the  office for a few hours to attend the game.

Love,
Beau


Beth,

Thanks.

Dhabol is one. There should be 2 more case studies we used.
One about old EGS, the 2nd about TVA options.

2-3 copies will be sufficient.

Vince

Vince -
I just found some copies!  How many do you need and I will have them
delivered to you.

They are the case about the Dabhol project in India.  Is that the one you
were thinking of?

Beth,

I have a favor to ask. Do we have copies of Harvard Business School
case studies about Enron? We use these case studies during Super Saturdays.
I need a few copies. This is for Prof. John Martin.
