I just changed both of these deals to CAISO energy, instead of Firm. I noticed that the one you asked about, #481620, was part of an EES sleeve, so I checked the other side of it, deal #481621, and sure enough it also had the incorrect energy type. It's holiday fever! Thanks,
481620/481621
While you guys were all busy worrying over the California energy crisis, I slipped down to Mexico to conduct an investigation of how our neighbors even further to the south are faring. Do they still have lights? Is the AC shot? Can they even make a blended margarita? Seriously, though, I will be out of the office on Friday, Dec. 22, and again from Wednesday, Dec. 27 to Monday, Jan. 2. I realize this is late notice; I did let Richter know awhile ago, but I probably should have spread the word a little further. I am truly sorry. At any rate (below the price cap of course), while I am gone I would be so appreciative if one of you could run the Dow Jones report in the morning and the EOL report in the evening. Dow Jones will only need to be taken care of from Wed. through Fri. of next week. I will call on those days, and I can easily explain the procedure over the phone to those of you who don't know it. If I call and you're ridiculously busy, just hang up on me. I'll call back later. The EOL report we have come to know and love is actually being fixed right now. I will talk with Nicolay Kraltchev, the Houston IT guy in charge of fixing it, on Friday, Dec. 22. It should be up and running again by Friday afternoon. Again, I'll call to check in and make sure this works, or explain how to use it. I'll be in the office on Monday, Dec. 25, just briefly to make sure it hasn't exploded in my absence, but then I'll be off to the land where tequila is better for you than water. Sounds terrible. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions, or problems, of the work sort, of course.
Days I Will Be Gone
Bob Badeer informed me that these deals have already been confirmed, possibly by you. Could you let me know if this is in fact true? If it is, I will go ahead and make a note in the comments section of the deals. Thanks,
Avista deals: confirmation?
My paycheck doesn't seem to be anywhere around here. Could you let me know if my name was on the list of missing paychecks for the end of last month? Kathy Axford said she gave you such a list on 12/30. Thanks,

The STCA desk will be short 75 MW on peak at NP-15 on 1/4. This is due to two sales involving the STNW desk and one involving LTWM which have been zeroed out in scheduling but not in EnPower. All three are for 25 MW on peak. Thanks,
STCA Forward Ob Position - 1/4
The graphs I've set on your desks are the product of a new version of the EOL Report. Please look them over briefly and determine whether or not the data this report pulled in is correct. I've attached a table of the data as well for another point of reference. If there are problems or discrepancies in the report, please let me know as soon as possible, and we'll adjust it accordingly. Thanks,

After researching the position further, I am very much interested in formally applying to work in Deal Control. I have spoken with Jeff Richter, Val Sabo, and Carla Hoffman about the requirements and responsibilities of the job, and I have a good understanding of the kind of candidate they're looking for. I feel I fit that profile and am excited by the challenge it presents. I have also spoken with Mollie Gustafson and Chris Calger, who have given me their support in pursuing another opportunity within the company. (Although they would be understandably heartbroken.) Please let me know at your earliest convenience how to proceed in applying for this position. Thank you for your help, Amy. Kate

I've had a request from Matt Motley to begin receiving this table on a daily basis. Carla Hoffman said Bob Badeer had asked for it before, and for whatever reason she held off distributing it to all the traders. I'd like to know if there is some reason why we don't send the EOL table to all the traders on a daily basis. If not, may I copy them on this in the future? Thanks,
Daily EOL Summary 1/10
I just received the e-mail regarding your visit to Portland (Monica Lande forwarded it to me). Regarding that, I would definitely be interested in gaining access to Livelink. Monica explained that Livelink is a system that allows one to view confirms, in which case it would greatly benefit my position to have access to it. I look forward to your visit, and to working with you in the future. Thanks,
Visit to Portland - 1/22
Portland West Desk lawyers have completed the application to become a participant in the Dow Jones survey at NP-15 and SP-15 delivery points. As soon as possible, we would like to begin executing deals against these indices. In order to do this, we will need to access to them through EnPower, in both Deal Blotter and Deal Entry. If you could facilitate the addition of these two indices into EnPower, we would appreciate having access to them by Tuesday. Please let me know what steps we need to take at the West Desk to help complete this process. To the best of my knowledge, we simply need the ability to choose the Dow Jones NP-15 or SP-15 index in the PubCode list in Deal Blotter and Deal Entry. We also need to be assured that when these deals are settled, the correct data will be pulled into EnPower from Dow Jones. Thank you for your help and cooperation. I will be in touch on Monday.

I'd like to enroll in the Enron Savings Plan program; however, when I was navigating through the savings plan website, I started wondering if the retirement plan and the self-directed brokerage account are the same thing. I think you probably have some information regarding these plans. Could I borrow that later this afternoon, or even better, sit down with you for a minute to clarify which plans I am eligible to enroll in and when? Thanks in advance for your time. Kate
Savings Plan v. 401K
Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you. All our traders and schedulers have been in a meeting this afternoon, and as soon as they got out the frenzy of trading and scheduling began again. I'm going to give things a minute to settle down, and then ask around as to how people would like their Livelink training. I'll get back to you soon. Thanks,
Livelink Training in Portland
Who's ready to rhumba? Crystal Ballroom holds salsa classes on the first Tuesday of every month. The hour-long class begins at 7p.m., with live music and dancing afterward. Cost is $8 for the whole evening. The other Tuesdays of the month have live music and dancing, no class unfortunately. Anyway, I'm sure it won't take us more than an hour to become master Latin dancers on par with Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera. Do you want to try it out? Next class is Feb. 6. Mark your calendars and tell all your coordinated (and/or good-looking) friends to come along. Kate "Viva bailar"* Symes *Does this mean "live dance" or "dance lives" or "my friend Viva likes the way you dance" or none of the above?
Salsa Madness!
What better time to start thinking about the winter holidays than on Halloween?! Just a reminder that our happy little office will be hosting a Holiday Party & Benefit Auction on Saturday, Dec. 2, beginning at 6 p.m. and lasting until the wee hours of the morning. We hope that everyone will be able to attend, which is why we're reminding you while the smell of pumpkin-insides and candy corn is still fresh in the air. We will be holding a benefit raffle and auction again this year, and all proceeds will once again be matched by Enron Corp. Donations will be divided between Portland's Raphael House, a shelter for battered women and their children, and the Court-Appointed Special Advocates, a group that assists foster children and at-risk youth throughout the court process. But who said charity couldn't be a hoot? There will be a pangea of prizes and a gaggle of goods for everyone (think Blazer tickets and autographed Blazer basketballs!). And a BAND! A swing band! It will prove to be the most fantastic Holiday Party this office has ever had....
Christmas Party
I just received this update from our good friend Ryan at the Blazers' office. Thought you guys might like to distribute the news.... Here are the upcoming Blazer specials for a Enron NA employees!

We will be short in Real Time Position Manager both at NP-15 and SP-15 for 1/18/01 until Friday morning. It seems that four deals were entered by EES under the wrong desk, affecting our position instead of theirs. Following are the details of where, when, why and by how much we're out. Read this carefully.... SP-15 - Short 1950.64 MW Deal #500492 - 67.89 MW short off peak Deal #500493 - 87.97 MW short on peak NP-15 - Short 2883.08 MW Deal #500494 - 102.61 MW short off peak Deal #500495 - 128.89 MW short on peak If any one of you has better luck than I have at accessing EES deals in deal entry, by all means get rid of these. Or if you happen to speak with Suneet Sharma, our good friend who entered the deals in question, by all means tell him to do the same. Thanks,
Real Time Position - Short @ NP & SP
I've been working with Laura Wente to locate these documents for a couple days, and I think I've found what you need. If you could call or e-mail with your fax number, I'll send what I have over to you and expedite the process. If you'd like to peruse the EIS documents online, go to www.tis.eh.doe.gov/nepa/ and click the heading DOE NEPA Analyses.

Following are the prices for fixed sales between EPMI Short Term California and EES for 1/25. Chris Mallory has turned this task over to me, and I'm working from my own spreadsheet, which I inadvertently deleted this morning. Please let me know if you'd like a copy of the spreadsheet as well as the prices each morning, or if the prices are sufficient.

I'm working on a phone list for some of the people I work with in the Houston office - kind of a modified version of ours. But I just noticed that my information on the floor card has changed since the last printing. Debra said I should forward the information on to you for use in the next floor card. Here it is: Ext. 7486 Cell phone 819-2181 And actually, my home phone will change too at the end of this week. I'll send that along when I get it. I know this isn't pressing information, but I figured I'd let you know before I forgot. Thanks,
Floor Card Change
Here's what I threw together this afternoon. Let me know if there are any other people in particular you'd like added to the list. Also let me know if you try any of these extensions and they happen to be wrong (we have a hard time keeping up with changing numbers too!). Forward this on to anyone you feel it might be useful to; but please let them know to call me first and foremost, since I'll probably be the most receptive on the phone. Hope you had a safe trip back home. Again, it was great to meet you and Kim. Talk to you soon, Kate
ENA Portland Phone List
Pinnacle West is still working on moving all its operations from Arizona Public Service Co. to Pinnacle. In the meantime, all TRANSMISSION deals should still be made using the counterparty name "Arizona Public Service Company." All other deals are made with "Pinnacle" itself. This should change sometime in the next month, according to the confirmation group in Houston. Let me know if you have any questions. Kate
Transmission deals - APS, not Pinnacle
Happy Monday - or whenever it is that you are blessed with the receipt of this message. A funny thing happened to me on my way to upload the PX deals on Friday. I went to process the data and was rudely stopped by an error message stating the following: Error establishing lock on Trader ID and Trader Date: Trader Already Locked (_InboxAC11AC92.913Aoc376A1622250.4) Interesting, isn't it? So I entered the PX deals manually and went along my merry way. Just thought you should know.
Fun with Computers
I can't believe you're leaving! I hope wherever you go next brings you joy and fulfillment, but you'll definitely be missed here. Thanks for all your help. Good luck! Kate
Bummer!
Okay - third time's the charm. After cuts were made by the Cal-ISO last night, I sent you a revised volume schedule of our sales to EES for 1/31; however, I failed to change the total load at SP-15 to reflect cuts. Now you'll see the CORRECT revisions made at all delivery points. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks,
Correction - Revised EES Prices 1/31
In all the excitement of the day, I completely forgot to check on this deal. I know I got a call from one of you guys about the "New Counterparty" Diana Scholtes put in here; but I'm not sure now what I was supposed to check on. Give me a call in the morning and let me know. Sorry! Kate

I've added two new swaps to reflect the change from the California PX to the Dow Jones index after 1/31/01. The following deal numbers cover the whole term of the deal. 404980 - 9/1/00 through 1/31/01 @ PX NP15 Index 512726 - 2/1/01 through 8/31/03 @ DJ NP15 Peak Index 512743 - 2/1/01 through 8/31/01 @ DJ NP15 Off-Peak Index Both new deals have comments that link them back to the original deal. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,

I've changed all the deals I could find that contained the counterparty name "California Department of Water Resources - CDWR" to "California Energy Resource Schedulers - State of California." The following deal numbers are those that have been changed. If you come across other daily deals, most likely done by EPMI Short Term California or Short Term Northwest, let me know and I'll change those counterparty names too. 510867/860/857/853/775/774 509540/518/513/511/509/508/504/463/462 Thanks for your help on this.

Just FYI - The tie point and Cal PX deals we uploaded this morning did in fact load as Enron Online deals. Oh joy! I talked to Will Smith, who said he thought he'd heard this complaint before and very cordially agreed to take a look at it. I just thought I'd keep you informed of the latest episode in what I'm sure will be an award-winning series. (How about "The Good, the Bad, and the Cal PX Bridge"?) Kate

I'm sending a copy of the error message I received when I tried to enter our futures deals today. The application saved one deal, but would not accept the other two. The only difference between the three deals is the delivery month. Is there any way we can get this fixed soon? The clearing broker has had a record of these deals since Jan. 31, and the trader is getting a little antsy to have them recorded in our system. Thanks so much for your help.... ORA-20500: Unable to translate deal QQ0938.0 into ERMS system.

Here are all of the deal numbers that correspond with today's tie point, Cal PX, and Cal Imbalance deals.

Willie - Per our conversation - the West Power desk needs three new settlement indices for entering swaps deals in EnPower. The indices are as follows: Last day settle for MIDC NYMEX contract Last 5-day average for PALO VERDE NYMEX contract Last 5-day average for COB NYMEX contract Please let me know if you have any questions. The first index is a little more pressing than the other two - one of our traders did a futures deal a week ago which we have yet to swap from his book to the one it belongs in. We can't execute the swap until we have a MIDC settlement index. Thank you so much for your help.
New EnPower Settlement Indices
Just for everyone's information - I've entered two buys from Seattle City Light to negate an earlier sale of power to the company (Deal 317868). The deals are as follows: 515404 STCA buys SCL 2/8/01-2/28/01 SP-15 Off Peak $115.00 515420 LTCA buys SCL 3/1/01-3/31/01 SP-15 Off Peak $115.00 I'm giving you this disclaimer either because you asked me to enter the deal, the deal is in your book, or the deal will affect your calc. The volume is shaped between 1 and 2 MW. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,

Attached are the EPMI-EES sale prices for the first week of February. I will resume responsibility for maintaining and sending the spreadsheet tomorrow, and you can expect to receive it daily. Thanks for your patience while we were working out the kinks on this one. Kate
EES Sale Prices 2/1-2/7
Per your request for year-to-date numbers: here's an example of what I could include in the daily EOL summary. Let me know if this is helpful for you, and if you'd like it included on the graph sheet. I think it might be too tight to fit on the page as it is, but there's no reason why we can't generate a two-page report. As long as we're going in that direction, is ther any other data you'd like to see in graph form?
Year-to-Date Deal Summary
The Dow Jones report is compiled of data sent from many different counterparties. The lovely people at Dow Jones painstakingly analyze the data to ensure its accuracy. Averaged together, these prices become the Dow Jones daily index price. And that's the long and short of it. The process, as you've guessed by now, is a little more complicated than that. For one thing, Dow Jones looks at each counterparty's sales to reach an average of all the prices. It would be redundant for each counterparty to ALSO report their purchases from each other. Therefore, when calculating the Dow Jones data, we only include purchases from counterparties who ARE NOT participants in the Dow Jones survey. Following is a simple example: Participant List NP-15 Purchases NP-15 Sales Reported NP-15 Purchases Reported NP-15 Sales Sempra Sempra - $250 Sempra - $250 Avista - $270 Sempra - $250 Duke Duke - $260 Duke - $260 Duke - $260 Enron Avista - $270 Avista - $270 Avista - $270 Now that's simple! Following is the participant list for Dow Jones' survey of trading at NP-15 and SP-15 delivery points. Deals with these counterparty names need to be excluded from the calculation of PURCHASES at NP-15 and SP-15 delivery points. American Electric Power - Amerelecpo Avista Energy - Avistaene Duke Energy Trading and Marketing - Dukeenetra El Paso Merchant Energy Enron Power Marketing, Inc. - EPMI Idaho Power Company - Idacorpene PacifiCorp - PACE Pacific Gas & Electric Company - PG&E Powerex Corp. - PWX Puget Sound Energy, Inc. - PSPL Mirant Americas Energy Marketing (formerly Southern Company Energy Marketing) - SCEM TransAlta Energy Marketing (US) Inc. - Transalt So I've probably succeeded in confusing you even more, but please feel free to come bug me with questions. Good luck! Kate

I think I found what you're looking for: www.ferc.fed.us Once you get to the home page, click on the "gas" icon. From there, hit the link to the "FERC Gas Tariffs Page." Then it gives you a choice of viewing the tariffs in HTML or saving them to a different file. I wasn't quite sure how you wanted to review this information. The website is updated every 30 days, or so it said, so you may just want to keep it bookmarked and check it out whenever you need the information. If I totally missed the mark, please let me know and I'll keep looking.

Thank you all for being so patient with me while I am under Carla's wise tutelage. Hopefully I'll be up to speed in the next few days, but if you notice me doing anything insanely wrong, don't hesitate to yell. One thing that has lagged slightly, but will be making a comeback tomorrow, is the Deal Correction Report. Every afternoon I'll check up on discrepancies noted by Houston and determine the source of the error. If the source of the error is you, me, the broker, or the computer gods, it will be noted in the error report and given to Risk Management to assist them in their daily calculation. Thanks again,

Please note an addition to the daily EOL summary. Two new tables delineate each desk's year-to-date trades, in addition to the month-to-date and daily trade tables usually included in the report. Feel free to let me know if you find this data helpful, harmful, or not even worthy of note. Thanks,

FYI - I've entered a new index-forward per Paul Choi into Matt Motley's Long Term Southwest book. The sale is a replica of deal #501404, except deal term is March instead of February. All other terms are the same. New deal # is 526973 . Please let me know if you have any questions. Kate
New Deseret Sale
I'd like to inquire about the Dow Jones index price database currently being maintained by the Fundamentals group. It's come to my attention - by virtue of the fact that I receive the Dow Jones data each afternoon - that several people are interested in having access to those figures. I've had requests from mid-marketing, trading, and scheduling, and am working with IT to put the NP-15 and SP-15 data online. Cara Semperger, in particular, relies on the index prices in order to run one of her reports. I'm wondering if it would be possible to give these people access to your database, or maybe if your group would benefit from the data I receive. Your spreadsheet looks like a compilation of the documents I receive from Dow Jones, and one might be more useful for an individual or group than the other. I don't have a preference either way - I'm more than happy to compile the reports in a separate folder. Please let me know what works best for you. (I sit in the middle of the room between Tracy Ngo and Val Sabo.) Thanks,

We'd like to create a daily and monthly trade volume report, similar to the EOL Report we currently use to track both online and brokered trades done in the Portland office each day. The EOL JF tab seems to track the same data we need for a daily volume report; however, it does not display the data in the form we need. Under the "Sort By" heading at the bottom of the report, there are two choices - "Deal #" and "Desk." As I run it now, the report displays megawatt volumes and total deals according to desk. We now need to display the data according to delivery point. Please call Cara Semperger or myself when you get a moment, and we can fill you in on all the parameters she's looking for in this report. From there I think it should be a pretty simple modification of the query. Thanks in advance for your help on this.
Application Request: Volume Report
Here are details of the problem we're having with the Tagg IQ Reports: Three Mid-Columbia futures trades were executed by Matt Motley, Long Term Southwest Desk, on 2/5, 2/6, and 2/7. Trades pulled into Tagg IQ Reports - All three pull into Future Daily Transaction Report (RSX0245F.IQR) Only two pull into Future Net Position Summary (RXSNSUMF.IQR) All three pull into Tagg Exchange Capture search - transaction IDs are 980362/983837/987050 All three pulled into Tagg Metacalc (Meta ID 77771 - Post ID 1035917 - Post ID 77880 - Post ID 1037269) until 2/9 - NOW GONE Because today is the Nymex Electricity Futures exercise date, we need to know as soon as possible for our calculations whether or not these deals are in the system, and if not, where they went. My confusion lies in the fact that I can find these deals when I do a search in Tagg for any futures deals traded at the Mid-C settlement index, and yet the Risk group can no longer see anything for Mid-C in their calculation. Please let me know what you find. Thank you,
Missing Futures Deals
Just something to keep in mind - The confirms group in Houston is waiting on signed confirm letters from Grant County for the following three deals - 432854 420554 420563 I've let Stephanie Piwetz and Sharen Cason know that you'll forward the letters on to them once you receive them. Or you can give them to me and I'll fax them over. Keep me posted on the progress. Thanks,

So I watched the news last night and discovered to my utter dismay that the whole damn city of Seattle began rioting over my pointed absence this weekend. Some people just don't know how to control those emotions, I guess. How was dinner, anyway? I was actually hoping to come, but I seem to have misplaced Michael's phone number and so had no way of contacting you guys. Also, I wasn't quite confident in my ability to find your house through "alternative" methods such as hanging out at the train station or wandering through Microsoft millionaire-type neighborhoods. And to top it all off, I lost my voice Friday night - for no apparent reason other than the usual deficit of sleep and surplus of cigarettes - and wouldn't you know it would have to turn into a full blown cold by this morning. As can be expected, we're experiencing the most insanely gorgeous weather I've seen in all my Februarys in Portland, which is making my acceptance of actually being sick even more difficult. Whatever happened with your fever? I'd feel much better if I knew others were sharing my pain. In fact, I promptly gave my cold to Amber on Saturday, so I'd have a partner in my time of homebound misery. She took it a step further, in true drama queen fashion. Case in point - I'm at work, she's rounding out her 39th consecutive hour in bed. Anyway, I'm going to skip out of here a whopping half an hour EARLY today because people are starting to look visibly pained when I try to talk. But I thought I'd check on the success of the dinner party and apologize for not making it. And if you get a chance, tell Michael that I have a very legitimate reason for losing his phone number. Or at least, I'll have one by the time he calls. Kate
Reeds, and other bendable objects
I'm so sorry, gals, but I feel awful and I'm going home to nurse myself to health. If you could direct your e-mails for the remainder of the day to the respective traders, I would really appreciate it. And if anything can wait until tomorrow, just e-mail it to me and I'll take care of it in the morning. I'm going to sleep for the next 15 hours and see if that rids me of this cold once and for all! Thanks,
I'm going home
I'm feeling pretty under the weather today, so I'm going to sneak out of here early - but I haven't yet received the Dow Jones data for today. Instead, I'm sending yesterday's information. If you need today as well, let me know and I'll send it first thing in the morning. Thanks,

Sharen told me this morning that you guys were waiting on a deal Stewart Rosman did with Port of Oakland yesterday and wanted confirmed today. I've spoken with a few people here and discerned that the deal wasn't in because the counterparty wasn't in the system yet. I took a look and found that Port of Oakland had been added, and entered the deal according to the terms Stewart sent out in an e-mail yesterday. Deal number is 533916. Thanks for waiting. Kate

Here are a few examples of the summary I send out each afternoon. I've sent four as attached documents and one just pasted into the e-mail. Use whichever works best for you, and let me know if you need more. Thanks,
Daily Trade Volumes - Examples
Beginning tomorrow this report will contain Inter-Continental Exchange (ICE) trade numbers and volumes, in addition to EOL and brokered deal information. Please look for that information at the beginning of the e-mail. Also note that the ICE data is released one day later, so it will not correlate directly to the EOL data below it. (i.e. Daily EOL Summary 3/1 will include ICE data from 2/28) Enjoy...

It looks like your Deal Blotter settings may be defaulting to PST time zone. But these April deals need to flow during the PDT time zone. Could you check your settings and make sure the time zone defaults to PPT (that way the strips will choose PST or PDT accordingly)? Two additional deals were changed to the correct time zone: 534074 534072 534071 534053 Thanks,

Would you let me know when you might have a minute today, or sometime this week, to go over the EES spreadsheet with me? I want to understand how the Real Time group uses this data so I can depict it more accurately and avoid making errors. Thanks,

I've got one more deal that Houston says they haven't received a signed confirm letter for - 420529. Stephanie Piwetz says she spoke to Grant County and they said they already sent out that one and 432854, but haven't received them back from us......???? Do you know where they are? Kate (From 2/26/01) Just something to keep in mind - The confirms group in Houston is waiting on signed confirm letters from Grant County for the following three deals - 432854 420554 420563 I've let Stephanie Piwetz and Sharen Cason know that you'll forward the letters on to them once you receive them. Or you can give them to me and I'll fax them over. Keep me posted on the progress. Thanks,

Please note: Prices were not updated in last night's spreadsheet. Correct prices are in 3/6 worksheet now. Also, per Daniel Kang, EES load is shown in negative numbers, Dow Jones and fixed price sales are shown in positive numbers. Please call with questions. Thanks,

Re: Deal discrepancies for the month of February. Following are the problems that have been brought to my attention and the solutions we've reached. Please call me with questions. This spreadsheet includes a missing purchase for total of 55 mw @ 195.00 on 2/25. Sorry for the confusion - per Bill Williams III. This spreadsheet includes modified volumes in the fixed price sale at ZP-26 on 2/6. In addition, deal 525625.2 has been corrected in scheduling (there was one strip duplicating HE 8) and autoscheduled. Deal 529314.1 has also been autoscheduled, which should remedy the discrepancy on 2/24, HE 7-17. Please let me know if the new CARP report does not reflect this. Thanks,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience - but hopefully I'll be smarter when I come back! I'll check in and wrap things up at 5:00, so if you have any questions you'd like to save for me, I'll be at my desk then. Thanks,

Following are the deals we've changed - 536574 - from Firm to Caiso energy 537885/886/888/889/890 - from Yes to No confirm And I'm looking into the status of the price on 538874. I'll let you know. Thanks,

Melissa Murphy would like us to begin adding a note in the comments section of all the deals we change. I know most of you already do this when you make big changes to deals, but she'd like to see more comments more often. Of course this mostly applies to me, but I thought I'd pass it along just in case. See the attached e-mail, and let me know if you have questions. Thanks,

Fran - It looks like you either made changes or added legs to this deal today. Do they need to reconfirm this? Please let me know. Thanks,
412868
Questions about this deal - 1. Should energy type be CAISO? 2. Should trade date be 3/7? 3. Should confirmation status be "NO"? I believe the answer to all of these is yes, but I wanted to check before changing anything. The confirms group is getting extra sensitive about deals marked for confirmation, since they are now confirming all daily deals. Just a reminder to double-check your default settings and your deals for the confirmation status. Thanks,
540493
I'm losing my mind. Did I already forward this note to you? Do you still need the confirmation information? I can print out whatever they have stored in Livelink, or you can contact Stephanie - it looks like she has what you were searching for. Thanks,

I just spoke with Kim Hundl in the Confirms group. She's been told by PGE that they do not want confirmation letters sent for daily deals. Apparently there are a bunch of these in the system under your desk that are noted to be confirmed. The confirms group can change all of these deals to "no confirm," but they wanted to double-check with you guys first. Do you agree with PGE, or would you like these deals confirmed? Let me know. Thanks,

Bob - Val was looking into this deal, but now that she's gone I wonder if you could help me with it. It's a swap that was done on 10/18/99 between LTWM and EES. It's an off-peak deal for 0.2 mw at a price of $23.00 and settlement index of PX SP-15. There are five legs that each run for one year - Cal'05 through Cal'09. I understand you've been working on making the switch from PX to Dow Jones indices. Do you know anything about this deal and whether or not its index needs to be changed? Please let Melissa or me know. Thanks,
PX Index Deal 253768
Our IT group was able to solve the problem on this deal. It wouldn't save because the schedule type field was not populating correctly; which was a little disturbing because this is an EOL deal, and all fields should populate automatically. Dave Poston thinks he's fixed the problem, so you shouldn't run into anymore deals that won't save due to blank deal entry fields. If you do, though, please let Dave or me know and we'll look into it further. You should now be able to add to the deal clearing tab and save the deal. Thanks,
541403
This is a problem I've been working on with IT. They released a new version of deal entry, and for some reason certain EOL trades are automatically populating all of the new fields, including Schedule Type. I've got Dave Poston working on this, and I'll let you know when we've fixed it so you can save your part. Thanks,

The Portland West Desk needs two new traders added to EnPower. I believe you're the correct person to contact for this, but please let me know if I should talk to somebody else. We'd like to have our mid-marketers enter their own trades now, and many of them already have the IDs to do that. Two marketers - Paul Choi and Greg Wolfe - do not. I know that when I took over the Deal Control position here John Forney contacted you to help me acquire a trader ID, so I'm hoping you can help me with this task. Thank you,
New Trader IDs
Thank you in advance for you help in adding this trader's name to the system: Add this Power Trader to the EnPower: Paul Choi Samuel Schott has told me that you would prefer to have the desk this trader works for, but because Paul is a mid-marketer he works with several different desks, including Long Term California and Long Term Southwest. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks,

I suppose my victory in this, our latest but not last competition, would be IMPLIED. Rather, I mean that my triumph could be INFERRED or even TACIT. My skill is UNDERSTOOD, my speed INSINUATED, and my nimble pairing of the two is INTIMATED by the fact that I won this competition. Now, I'll be sadly disappointed if you don't get this e-mail until later today, being that you have such a confusing and multi-layered e-mail situation, because I need for you to know that I got the answer first. So for the record, it is 8:45 a.m. on Monday. A side note: I also have The Great Gatsby in my possession. Kate

I'd be more than happy to run a test of the new forward obligation report in order for you to move it to production. I do use the application everyday when determining the West desk positions in relation to each other, so it's a report I'm familiar with and also one that may affect me if it's changed. Please let me know if you'd like me to run the report and under what terms. Thanks,

I've changed deal 547478 to reflect the correct price - $109.90 off peak and $174.15 on peak - and made a note in our deal correction report. Please keep me informed on any discrepancies you run across. I'll be happy to look into it. Thanks,

These deals were entered as flowing all days, and should have just been Mon - Sat. This was my fault, as I didn't know my computer defaulted to all days. (This has since been fixed!) I've changed them in the system and was told to let you know so you can re-confirm the deals with just on-peak days. Sorry about the hassle. I promise I'll get the hang of this soon! Thanks,
Changed Deals - 460785, 460858, 460862
Will - I've passed your phone number along to Bill Williams, the Real Time group manager here in Portland. He should be contacting you shortly to discuss problems with and changes to the Scheduling Activity Report. I've checked with other groups on the floor and found that the report is only used by Real Time, and less frequently by groups assisting Real Time, so I believe Bill or someone in his group could most suitably test the new application. Let me know if there's anything else I can do, and thanks for all your help today. Kate

Jeff has both sides of both deals in the system correctly. Here are the deal numbers. 461029 Williams 115.00 461030 EES 114.95 461801 Mieco 115.00 461802 EES 114.95 And Deal #461139 was actually a Short Term Southwest deal done by Tom Alonso with Williams for the same price on the same days, but with Prebon. Confusion! Hope this fixes it.

Details in exchange for this - I read an article this morning that quoted an ISO market analyst speaking about the $6.2 billion the system operator would like to recover in charges since last spring: "We are not saying now that these are overcharges. We are telling the FERC that we see these as the amounts that we deem 'excessive.'" The lead of the story was this: "The California Independent System Operator......significantly upped the ante Thursday when it told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that 21 generators and suppliers should refund the state a stunning $6.2 billion for electricity sold into the state since last May." First of all, tell me what the difference is between "overcharges" and "excessive" charges. If there isn't one, give me your opinion on why this analyst would say such a stupid thing. Second, give me one reason why the lead is journalistically incorrect, and one why it is gramatically unattractive. Then you get details. Kate

I have made the following adjustment to our EPMI sales to EES on 3/1 at SP-15. 534313 - existing fixed price forward sale - volumes have been reduced by 18 mw per hour 559314 - new index sale added and backdated (2/28) to reflect 18 mw off peak hours 559316 - new index sale added and backdate (2/28) to reflect 18 mw on peak hours Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this change. At the end of last month Short Term California handed responsibility of Dow Jones index sales over to the Short Term West Services desk; unfortunately the exact date of change-over was miscommunicated, and the index sale was not entered for 3/1. However, the total MWh of EPMI's sale to EES should not change for 3/1. Also, you should see the new volumes reflected in the EES daily volumes worksheet which I will send later this afternoon. Thanks for your patience,

The attached document contains the EPMI average prices for all delivery points for Sun., March 25, and Mon., March 26. Please let me know if you have any problems opening the document or reading it. The worksheet should look identical to the fax I send each day. An additional worksheet shows a detail of each deal volume and price. I'm in the habit of excluding the counterparty names (to save time) because I'm the only one who looks at this sheet normally; but if you'd like me to start e-mailing instead of faxing the prices I will begin entering the counterparty names as well. Thanks,

Just wanted to give you an update on my progress so far - I'm changing these deals in between each of my other daily tasks, and I'm also having a hard time reading some of the deal numbers. I've made it through the first page and a bit of the second. I've changed all but four of the deals to "no confirm." Here are the questions I have on those deals: 1. 552516 - why are we not confirming a City of Riverside deal? Should I ask Jeff? 2. 553037 - looks like it's already "no confirm" 3. 553666/667/668 - are we not confirming any deals where PGE is the counterparty? I thought it was just where PGE System was the delivery point? 4. 553926 - this deal is killed. Do we have to change settings on killed deals as well? Also, if you have a slightly bigger copy of the document you faxed over, or if you could e-mail it to me, that would save me a lot of guessing time. Thanks for your help!
Deal Changes - No confirm
These deals were entered today under STWH desk - Geir and Mark show as the traders on them, but I have a feeling that's incorrect as I haven't seem them around this morning. Might let the guys know that when they trade at California delivery points - NP15, SP15, ZP26 - the energy firmness should be specified as CAISO firm. Thanks,

Mark, I would appreciate it if you could get back to me as soon as possible on the issue of Enron's continued use of the HPL name on the EOL documents. In my letter of September 27th, I had requested Enron remedy this situation by October 1st but that has not happened. I'm sure you can appreciate our interest in resolving this matter promptly, so please let me hear from you as soon as possible. Thank you,

All, attached is a redline of Master Netting Agreement against the previous Cook c draft and the proposed Collateral Annex. Please review and provide your comments to me by first thing Tuesday morning. Major issues for resolution: 1. We have determined that we should file on cash collateral in Canada. Peter Keohane is reviewing the forms and processes for such, including how to determine and establish priority with respect to same. Peter will coordinate with Credit concerning the mechanics of accomplishing the filings. 2. Due to the continued concern by some counsel in respect of mutuality issues for setoff and netted settlement (another form of setoff) "aggregate liability clauses" set forth in 3a and 3b have been included for our consideration. We must come to a consensus as to whether this language/concept should/must be included. If the answer is yes, is the language included the best tactic? 3. Mary Perkins is reviewing LC matters with banks to be sure the modified format set forth in this draft is satisfactory. Timing Objective: Our objective is to provide everyone another draft on Tuesday and finalize on Wednesday. This will require a conference call sometime Monday afternoon. Carol, Rick, David, Peter and Elizabeth please provide Esmeralda Gonzalez, my assistant, at 713 345-7621 with your Monday afternoon availability and she will set a time and advise you. For those of you who had a prior draft of the Collateral Annex, I could not get this redlined for some reason, I apologize. Carol, since I am out Friday will you please call Cadwalader and be sure they received this. Further, will you ask them to review the NY choice of law provision in light of Canada cash collateral issue. Thank you. David and Rick, in your review please give special attention to the calculation mechanisms utilized for the determination of the Collateral Requirement. Esmeralda, after you have determined availability, please send email to Carol, Elizabeth, Rick Antonoff, David Mitchell and Peter Keohane advising of the time (Houston time). We will call other parties and do not need a call in number.
Master Netting Agreement
Mark - Just a few quick notes from yesterday's staff meeting (items you should know about): Enron Direct - Appears to be really ramping up. Currently using TaletTree and Saliens (sp?) (temp/consulting agencies) for sales personnel to lower end of mkt. Goal by 10/15 to have all commodity/tariff curves in EES database Looking to also load customer profile information for approx. 22K customers In sync with Canadian efforts and looking at Toronto as a bigger mkt than Calgary Beth pointed out Corp. contractual commitment to Ernst & Young of $60MM annually and suggestion to consider them for consulting services. Currently Corp. spend is approx. $40MM annually. Pipeling software products - Have contract with Luminent for marketing Enron gets 100% of license fees and continues to own products (including all enhancements) Luminent gets opportunity to do all integration Product price is $500,000 Jay indicated Kiodex transaction data fee is up and ready for operation. Waiting for Kiodex to be ready to go live. The Kiodex product will appear as a "Risk Report" button inside of EOL. Mention was made of the "layoffs" in Europe, but Greg indicated it may not be much of an impact on ENW personnel presuming the level of support for existing businesses remains constant. Nothing else in particular was discussed. Tom and I did have an opportunity to speak about some CommodityLogic items subsequent to the staff meeting. His big concern remains the speed with which we are able to produce amendment documents for counterparties, especially in light of the fact that Greg now wants weekly reports on the progress of these amendments - from Tom. I worked with Brent, Bob and Kathryn Cordes yesterday on a possible short term solution that may at least enable the CommodityLogic marketing personnel to put a base amendment form (not to be signed) in front of counterparties. The base amendment form would clearly indicate that additional information was necessary before an agreement was reached. This would be followed up by the actual "guts" of the legal confirm language. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Mark
Staff Meeting 10/4
Curricular Review Task Force (CRTF) Report # 9 (October 1, 2001) The Curriculum Review Task Force held its first meeting for the academic year on August 23, 2001. We reviewed the work done last May to tie up loose ends and to plan the work for the year. During the intensive work sessions in the last week of May, the eight faculty members of the Task Force (including the Chair) had made detailed presentations to our group on eight topics related to the Curriculum Review (Please see my last report for details). It was decided that these members would write a summary of their presentations, including their cited references, and circulate them to the other members of the Task Force. After reviewing these summaries, and remembering the strategic curricular initiatives collectively decided on by our faculty and staff during the Purser-Gans Conference, each Task Force member was asked to come up with five Educational Goals which would guide our future work. Meanwhile, it had been decided in consultation with the Faculty Senate that the Fall Faculty/Staff Conference would focus on the Curricular Review. The Task Force had decided last May that the first two curricular initiatives to be considered are (1) Reinvestment in Pedagogy and (2) Communication Across the Curriculum. These two topics became the key themes for the Faculty/Staff Conference. The Task Force met with the Conference Planning Group on August 20 and it was agreed that the small group discussions will be led by seven Task Force members. The Faculty Conference held on August 23 was very productive in providing valuable input for the work of the Task Force. In a general sense the Conference gave a vote of confidence for the work and approach of the CRTF. We have taken detailed notes of the discussions in the small groups and the plenary session. On September 12th and 19th, the Task Force held intensive work sessions in the Boone House from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Each member, as agreed earlier, brought a list of five Educational Goals and after a lengthy discussion we have arrived at six educational goals and a list of operational ends for each of them. These goals focus on the competencies to be developed by our students and the learning outcomes of our academic program. After these are finalized, we will arrange an open meeting to discuss them with our faculty. On September 24, the Task Force met with the Assessment Committee and Dr. Susan Holm, Chair of the MFL department. The Assessment Committee discussed with us its plans and the list of eight Assessment Review Questions prepared by the Committee. Dr. Holm discussed the role of foreign language learning in the liberal arts education, the recent changes in MFL majors/minors/concentration and her department=s plans for further changes. The details of these discussions will be available in our minutes which will be posted in the public folders later this week. To access this folder, please go to Public Folders, All Public Folders, Documents, College, Curricular Review Task Force. We are planning to meet with other departments in the near future. Thanks. Raj Ambrose, Chair Curriculum Review Task Force.

Tanya: EOL is asking for the Chase master to be amended to eliminate the need for confirms on EOL trades. Do we need to meet to determine which Chase master (i.e., Chase or JP Morgan) should be amended (or both)? Do we want to begin the upgrade process? Please call. Also, are you available for the 9:30 Hanover call?

Mark: I'm not sure whether this CP does financial trading. Regardless, I've included the highlighted language that I had circulated with the Idacorp draft; I think that you were mulling over whether that new language was acceptable.
