fw : ferc meeting summary the commission held its first open meeting with pat wood as the new chairman today and discussed many interesting issues . the following is a summary of the meeting . the meeting is still going on , and we will provide an addendum to this email updating you on what was discussed this afternoon ( regarding market power ) . rtos chairman wood expressed his desire to finish the rto transition , and that the commission needs to provide guidance and leadership in order to speed up the rto transition . chairman wood considers the rto effort on two tracks : 1 ) organizational - - what will the rto organizations look like , and 2 ) substantive - - once you set up the organizations , what will they do . organizational effort : wood stated that this effort has already begun with the july 12 orders and the northeast and southeast mediation efforts . the commission will be issuing additional orders in the northeast , southeast and midwest within the next couple of ferc meetings . wood also stated that it is time for rto west and desert star to " marry up , " meaning , i suppose , that the two should consolidate . wood does not think that california can be included in the western rto yet since it has lingering problems . structural effort : the commission will initiate a section 206 proceeding to address market design and structure issues in order to translate the 8 functions established in order no . 2000 into rto structures . to achieve this goal , the commission is establishing an " rto week " of advanced workshops , from october 15 - 19 , in advance of issuing a nopr , to address structural issues such as : congestion management ; cost recovery ; market monitoring ; transmission planning ; reliability ; transmission rights . wood also envisions that the commission will develop a new pro forma tariff to replace the existing order no . 888 transmission tariff . the new tariff will apply to all public utilities and rtos . wood also recognized that some " sticks " are needed to entice rto participation . therefore , wood proposes to have all public utilities come in by december 15 , 2001 with a declaration to join an rto . if they do not make this declaration , these entities will have their market based rate authority revoked on a prospective basis . furthermore , wood states that if entities do not join rtos , they should not be authorized to merge their facilities , and that ferc will also look at their rates to determine whether they are still just and reasonable rates compared with rates offered by rtos . wood states that these " sticks " provide incentive , but do not mandate , rto participation . with regard to the pending requests for rehearing , wood asked legal staff to figure out how " ferc can get there . " in other words , i think wood is telling them to develop the legal analysis for denying rehearing . while commissioner breathitt is skeptical about some of these rto proposals , because she was not required to vote on anything today , she only expressed her concern . upcoming dates october 15 - 19 - - rto workshops end of october - - further orders on northeast , southeast , midwest rtos december 15 , 2001 - - all public utilities must commit to an rto or have their market based rates revoked proposed rule for standards of conduct within the next few days , ferc will be issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking ( " nopr " ) on standards of conduct for transmission providers . as explained at the meeting ( we do not have a copy of the nopr yet ) , the nopr will propose to apply standards of conduct uniformly to electric transmission providers and gas pipeline transportation providers similarly . the nopr also proposes to broaden the definition of affiliate to include all energy affiliates , not just marketers . the standards of conduct would not apply to rtos and transmission providers who are members of an rto may ask for an exemption from the standards . the nopr will also likely include a proposal that the standards apply to transmission - owners ' marketing affiliates that are serving native load customers . as you know , the present standards do not apply to the affiliates of tos that are only buying and selling power for native load customers . as the interim general counsel noted , these marketing affiliates can go into the control room and have unrestricted interaction with the to . there was some discussion of whether it is necessary to apply the standards to affiliates serving native load . staff told the commissioners that market participants have been complaining for years about this loop hole in the rules . pat wood said they will include the proposal in the nopr ( breathitt may not support ) , but if the industry does not support the proposal , ferc will pull it . we of course will strongly support the proposal . provision of adequate electrical capacity ( icap ) chairman wood asked staff to prepare a presentation on reserves and installed capacity requirements . wood noted that the commission had to issue an order on icap in new england during their recess in august , and he is not that familiar with the issues . therefore , he asked staff to prepare a presentation , which they made at the meeting this morning . the presentation will be made public within the next couple of days . in sum , staff seems to believe that some type of icap requirement is needed for reliability . after the presentation , wood noted that the new england icap order has enough wiggle room to allow the commission to change its mind once the commissioners better understand the issue . wood sees that there is a potential conflict between decentralized , competitive markets and the need for sufficient supply ( without politically unacceptable , prolonged price spikes ) . commissioner brownell ( from the pennsylvania puc ) has a better understanding of icap and expressed concerns that icap may be an outdated tool that acts as a barrier to entry without any definable benefit to customers . realizing that there are many positions on this topic , chairman wood said he will publish the staff report and ask for comments by october 17 . we will definitely submit comments on this and will include everyone in the drafting process . sorry this is so long , but a lot happened today . we will provide a summary of the market power discussion as soon as it is over . let us know if you have any questions . sarah

re : silence . . . . . . . . . . . . . i am trying to close the bid / offer spread . one thought on your plan below : if ben and i own the abb ' s at 29 mm - 30 mm , we will try to sell them at 31 - 35 . that will create noise in the market for canada ' s deals which will get re - priced down . likewise , if ben and i own them , we can not be prevented from offering them below canada ' s deals . solution : transfer the turbines 9 / 1 / 01 at a price that we agree to today . ? chris calger 503 - 464 - 3735 - - - - - original message - - - - - from : kitchen , louise sent : monday , july 02 , 2001 9 : 16 am to : milnthorp , rob cc : calger , christopher f . ; jacoby , ben subject : silence . . . . . . . . . . . . . hello , as i didn ' t hear anything last week on whether we had made progress on the transfer / sale of the abb turbines ( i know ben was out too ) i thought i would put my thoughts in writing . i am assuming that we are all on board with the fact that transferring these assets to the turbine book is the most efficient mechanism for dealing with the turbines going forward - please let me know if anyone thinks otherwise ( excluding arguments about transfer pricing ) . transfer abb turbines to the turbine book ( under the management of jacoby and calger ) , capital charges to be picked up by the turbine book as of 7 / 01 / 01 . the turbine book is responsible for the turbines going forward . should a sale occur ( negotiated by ecc ) to any of the customers outlined in the documents , ecc has the right to buy back the assets at any time at the transfer price plus capital charge incurred during the period when the turbines were owned by the turbine book . the call option expires 9 / 01 / 01 and can only be exercised for a sale to the counterparties in the document attached with the addition of calpine for the purposes of a sale combined with the site ( the call option for a calpine sale is valid until 12 / 01 / 01 ) . if ecc does not wish to pursue the sale to the counterparties in the document attached , then jacoby can pursue these negotiations and if a sale is completed this year with these counterparties , the turbine book will receive a brokerage fee ( $ 1 million ) and ecc will pick up capital costs between 7 / 01 / 01 and the completion of the sale . please agree to a transfer price for these turbines , if a price cannot be agreed between you , please let me have your arguments substantiating your transfer price and i will arbitrate on the number on friday . let me know if anyone disagrees with moving forward in this way . regards louise >

This was poking fun of the practice of making
up differnt types of speech with different
types of protected status. I think the
laws specialing out hate and protected speech
are ridiculous. The point I keep trying to make
is that there's only two types, speech and action.
I agree, they are all speech and should be
covered by the First Amendment, butIf hate speech is so protected, why are certain
states trying to prosecute people for it? There's
only two answers and one of them is wrong. 1) Because hate speech is different and needs to
have a different level of protection dictated
by whoever's offended at the time.
2) It's because it's not just speech, but action.
A action who's consequences are foreseeable by
any reasonable person. Hate speech is mislabeled. It's really "threat". I think
they let the mislabeling perpetuate as there's advantage
in being able to counter-threat with loss of liberty and
money through civil and criminal lawsuits for people THEY
don't like.

Strange.I had the double IRQ problem with the 3c509 combo,
and turning pnp off in the card's firware fixed it.As far as I remember the problem I was having was
that the driver was assigning an IRQ to the card's
RJ45 port and then another IRQ to it's BNC port,
and then referenced the card via the second assigned irq,
and turning off PnP in the card's firmware fixed that.You must be having a different error
Else
PnP is still turned on.
<>
Making sure the IRQ and io space you assign
the card in it's firmware is not in use by
any other ISA devices.

re : project doorstep responsibility matrix thanks for the summary . i was out last week so apologies if my comments arrive too late . here they are anyway : 1 socrates i think it inappropriate for me , or anyone in rac for that matter , to have primary responsibility for this system / project . but if i were responsible the first thing i would want to know is why this project , which commenced in may 1998 , as i recall , is still incomplete , given that it now contains possibly the largest energy derivative position in history , concentrated in a single commodity with a single counterpart . 2 exhaustive ? it doesn ' t look like an exhaustive list and i suspect it was not intended to be so - nevertheless we should ensure it is not viewed as such . 3 symptoms or causes ? many of the points look like the former , and addressed as they stand will likely leave us with a band - aid solution which will drop off when pressure is applied . in fact many of them look like they are a result of point 5 : " prioritisation of system projects has resulted in a lack of certain control functionality . . . " because that explains partly why models get built and forgotten , confirmation errors get made , deliveries go astray and trades get missed - usually bright people are simply too immersed in manual processes to have time to think about changing the way they work . and , for example , when those people move on , as they surely will , the institution has no memory of how to do what they did . i am still amazed at how much we pay relatively senior people to work on microsoft excel all day , everyday . 4 overall i think this is a good exercise if we react to it in the right way . rather than a list of irritating issues we have to do just enough to justify ticking off , we should use it as a tool to analyse the way we operate . as a hypothesis , if most issues stem from point 5 , then i would ask why has prioritisation of system projects resulted in a lack of certain control functionality ? dp brent a price @ ect 05 / 08 / 2000 11 : 08 am to : mike jordan / lon / ect @ ect , steve w young / lon / ect @ ect , tani nath / lon / ect @ ect , mark pickering / lon / ect @ ect , joe gold / lon / ect @ ect , james new / lon / ect @ ect , richard lewis / lon / ect @ ect , michael r brown / lon / ect @ ect , andrew cornfield / lon / ect @ ect , tim davies / lon / ect @ ect , rebecca millerchip / lon / ect @ ect , kevin sweeney / hou / ect @ ect , pablo pissanetzky / lon / ect @ ect , gail hill / lon / ect @ ect , eric virro / lon / ect @ ect , richard sage / lon / ect @ ect , tim poullain - patterson / lon / ect @ ect , ian sloman / lon / ect @ ect , david port / market risk / corp / enron @ enron cc : fernley dyson / lon / ect @ ect , sally beck / hou / ect @ ect , ted murphy / hou / ect @ ect , john sherriff / lon / ect @ ect subject : project doorstep responsibility matrix attached is a responsibility matrix for london - project doorstep action steps . the listing consists of controls findings , action steps , proposed timelines , and proposed sponsors and responsibility assignments for the completion of the action steps . the purpose of this matrix will be to review and monitor it on an ongoing basis to ensure that items are being appropriately addressed and completed . please take a moment to review all sections of the listing and communicate any comments or revisions you may have to me as soon as possible . we would like to have a final version of this document in place by may 12 .

"get rich quick" scheme, but rather a credible
and realistic way to save money and gradually develop
what can become a large, recurring residual income.What's the best thing about this opportunity?

100%) are all that exist in the UNIX world. Redhat of course doesnt count as
portable either, but it's nice they are trying. The Windows I/O model does
definately blow the doors off the UNIX one, but then they had select to
point at in it's suckiness and anything would have been an improvement. UNIX
is just now looking at it's I/O model and adapting to a multiprocess
multithreaded world so it's gonna be years yet before a posix API comes out
of it. Bottom line is the "do stuff when something happens" model turned out
to be right, and the UNIX "look for something to do and keep looking till
you find it no matter how many times you have to look" is not really working
so great anymore.- Adam L. "Duncan" Beberg

Secured Investements
WEALTH WITHOUT RISK!!!
Discover The Best Kept Secret In America!Turning $300 Into $20,000In Oklahoma, Craig
Talkington purchased a Tax Lien on a 5 acre parcel for
$300. The owner failed to pay the taxes and forfeited
the 5-acre parcel to Craig Talkington. A short time
later Craig sold that property to one of the neighbors
for $20,000. That's the kind of money that buys new
cars and sends young people to college. Craig didn't
stop at one deal. He later bought a tax lien for only
$17 on a ten acre track, the property owner failed to
pay the taxes, and Craig ended up the property, which
he sold for $4,000. I don't know how much money you
are making right now but these are the kinds of
profits that change peoples lives and solve financial
problems and make things a lot better.

re : 3 . 405 languages , citation michael kac 's mathematics analogy is interesting and appropriate . i would extend it even to mathematicians who can't figure the tip on a dinner bill without a calculator , and linguists who are only fluent in their native language . unfortunately , this analogy is useless for the many people who understand neither field . like the rest of you , i have had my share of " how many languages do you speak ? " similarly , as an undergraduate math major , a common reaction was " oh , so you ' re going to be a cpa like your mother ? " melody sutton ucla

charity sees the need not the cost . . . dear friend , as you read this , i don ' t want you to feel sorry for me , because , i believe everyone will die someday . my name is mr . reza abdulla , a merchant in safat , in ( kuwait ) i was married with two children . my wife and two children died in a car accident six years a go . i have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer . it has defiled all forms of medical treatment , and right now i have only about a few months to live , according to medical experts . i have not particularly lived my life so well , as i never really cared for anyone ( not even myself ) but my business . though i am very rich , i was never generous , i was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing i cared for . but now i regret all this as i now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world . i believe when god gives me a second chance to come to this world i would live my life a different way from how i have lived it . now that god has called me , i have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends . i want god to be merciful to me and accept my soul so , i have decided to give alms to charity organizations , as i want this to be one of the last good deeds i do on earth . so far , i have distributed money to some charity organizations in the u . a . e , algeria and malaysia . now that my health has deteriorated so badly , i cannot do this myself anymore . i once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which i have there to charity organization in bulgaria and pakistan , they refused and kept the money to themselves . hence , i do not trust them anymore , as they seem not to be contended with what i have left for them . the last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of ten million seven hundred thousand american dollars ( u . s . $ 10 . 700 , 000 ) that i have with a finance / security company abroad . i will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations . i have set aside only 20 % for you and for your time and also 5 % as miscellaneous expenses . reply me at your earliest convenience for more directives to my private email address : reza _ abdulla @ walla . com god be with you . regards , mr . reza abdulla

Raymond L. Wallace, 83
Bigfoot Story Teller
(1919-2002)Ray Wallace, a controversial figure involved in 44 years of Bigfoot-related
events, died November 26, 2002, in Toledo, Washington. The Washington State
construction tycoon had been ill for some time, living in a Toledo rest
home.It was at Bluff Creek, California, in 1958, which found Ray Wallace¹s
company building a new road through the northern California forest. In
August through October, Wallace Construction Company's employee Jerry Crew
found tracks of a huge humanlike foot. Thanks to instructions from
taxidermist Bob Titmus, Crew made the first plaster casts of a footprint
from this hairy upright creature his fellow workers called ³Bigfoot.² Crew
took the cast to town, to quiet local ridicule, and showed it to a Humboldt
County newspaper editor. The photograph of Jerry Crew with the giant
plaster of Paris foot imprint went out over the newswires. It produced a
revolutionary shift from small regional stories of Sasquatch to today¹s
global awareness of Bigfoot. Soon after the publicized Crew finds, Wallace
and his brother claimed other Bigfoot activity around the construction site;
Wallace said he found tracks and droppings of Bigfoot.Wallace was to be involved with the local tales of hairy giants for the rest
of his life. Allegedly in the later in the 1950s, for example, Wallace
offered to sell Texas millionaire Tom Slick a captured Bigfoot. Wallace
failed to produce the creature when Slick came up with an offer. Down
through the years, Wallace would carry on pranks, be tied to carved fake
Sasquatch feet, and produce and try to sell dubious photographs and films.
He was a great letter writer and would pen long passages to magazine editors
about this photographs or telling of how he knew a Bigfoot was nearby
guarding a mine full of gold. After awhile, most Bigfoot hunters and
researchers took Wallace as merely a spinner of fanciful tall tales. Through
his contributions to Strange Magazine, the Track Record, and indirectly to
Fate Magazine, Wallace relished keeping his name in the limelight of the
Bigfoot mystery.In March 1998, Ray Wallace offered a million dollars to the first person who
could bring him a live baby Bigfoot. Saying he had tracked Bigfoot for
forty years, Wallace claimed he wanted to raise a young Sasquatch to
adulthood. Wallace told reporters he planned to raise a baby Bigfoot with
³care and respect² and would like to train the creature to ride around with
him in his pickup truck and help out with chores around his ranch. No one
came forth with a baby Bigfoot.Ray Wallace added an intriguing, mostly harmless story-telling element to
the otherwise often serious pursuit of Bigfoot that various friends of his,
such as Ray Crowe, Director of the International Bigfoot Society, enjoyed.Ray Wallace was interred at the Lone Hill Cemetery in Toledo, Washington
State, on November 30, 2002.©Loren Coleman 2002

"Nigerian scam"-quoting msg is still counted as ham -- I haven't taken
anything out of the ham corpus since remving the "If AOL were a car" spam),
the f-p rate wouldn't have changed at all if the spamprob cutoff were
dropped from 0.90 to 0.675, dropping the cutoff to 0.40 would have added
only 2 false positives, and dropping it to 0.15 would have added only
another 2 more!It's spooky.

aaai fall symoposium on formalizing context formalizing context aaai-95 fall symposium mit , cambridge , massachusetts november 10-12 , 1995 call for papers description the notion of context has played an important role in ai systems for many years . however , formal logical explication of contexts remains an area of research in which there are significant open issues . this symposium will provide a forum for discussing formalizations of contexts , approaches to resolving open issues , and application areas for context formalisms . the most ambitious goal of formalizing contexts is to make automated reasoning systems which are never permanently stuck with the concepts they use at a given time because they can always transcend the context they are in . such a capability would allow the designer of a reasoning system to include only such phenomena as are required for the system 's immediate purpose , retaining the assurance that if a broader system is required later , " lifting rules " can be devised to restate the facts from the narrow context in the broader context with qualifications added as necessary . a formal theory of context in which sentences are always considered as asserted within a context could provide a basis for such transcendence . formal theories of context are also needed to provide a representation of the context associated with a particular circumstance , e . g . the context of a conversation in which terms have particular meanings that they would n't have in the language in general . linguists and philosophers have already studied similar notions of context . an example is the situation theory that has been proposed in philosophy and applied to linguistics . however , these theories usually lie embedded in the analysis of specific linguistic constructions , so locating the exact match with ai concerns is itself a research challenge . this symposium aims to bring together researchers who have studied or applied contexts in ai or related fields . technical papers dealing with formalizations of context , the problem of generality , and use of context in common sense reasoning are especially welcome . however , survey papers which focus on contexts from other points of view , such as philosophy , linguistics , or natural language processing , or which apply contexts in other areas of ai , are also encouraged . submission information persons wishing to make presentations at the workshop should submit papers ( up to 12 pages , 12pt font ) . persons wishing only to attend the workshop should submit a 1 - 2 page research summary including a list of relevant publications . a postscript file or 8 paper copies should be sent to the program chair . limited funding will be available to support student travel . timetable april 14 , 1995 submission deadline . may 19 , 1995 submitters will be informed of decisions august 15 , 1995 final papers due september 20 , 1995 aaai will mail working notes to the participants november 10-12 , 1995 fall symposium program committee sasa buvac ( chair ) . department of computer science , stanford university , stanford ca 94305-2140 . buvac @ sail . stanford . edu richard fikes . knowledge systems laboratory , stanford university , 701 welch road , bldg . c , palo alto , ca 94304 . fikes @ ksl . stanford . edu ramanathan guha . mcc , 3500 , w . balcones center drive , austin , tx 78759 . guha @ mcc . com pat hayes . beckman institute , 405 north mathews av . , urbana , il 61801 . phayes @ cs . uiuc . edu john mccarthy . department of computer science , stanford university , stanford ca 94305-2140 . jmc @ sail . stanford . edu murray shanahan . imperial college , dept of computing , 180 queen 's gate , london sw7 2bz , england . mps @ doc . ic . ac . uk robert stalnaker . 20d-220 , department of linguistics and philosophy , m . i . t . cambridge , ma 02139 . stal @ mit . edu johan van benthem . institute for logic , language and computation , university of amsterdam , plantage muidergracht 24 , 1018 tv amsterdam , the netherlands . johan @ fwi . uva . nl ( postscript and plain text versions of this announcement are available through the symposium www page at http : / / sail . stanford . edu / buvac / 95 - context-symposium and via anonymous ftp from sail . stanford . edu in the directory / buvac / 95 - context-symposium . )

- volatility and premiums on enron ' s near - month options remain extremely high . it is a sign that investors are willing to pay a rich price for option protection and expect the stock to be unsettled as the houston company sorts through its credit and debt problems and seeks to calm frazzled investors . enron near - month defensive puts traded heavily in an otherwise quiet session wednesday , as investors bought them to hedge . the december 5 puts traded more than 10 , 000 contracts and jumped 45 cents to $ 1 . 10 at the chicago board options exchange . the stock closed down $ 1 . 98 , or 28 % , to $ 5 . 01 , as of 4 p . m . in new york stock exchange composite trading . enron ' s calls traded actively as some investors sold them to generate income . traders noted some call buying - - especially after enron procured a three - week extension on a $ 690 million note - - as some hopeful investors bet on enron pulling through its troubles and proceeding with its merger with dynegy inc . enron ' s december 5 calls traded more than 14 , 500 contracts , compared with open interest of 710 , as they fell $ 1 . 45 to $ 1 . 15 at the cboe . for investors who want to book a tax loss on beaten - down stocks , the " wash sale " rule can be a hurdle , because it essentially prevents taxpayers from selling stock or securities at a loss and then reacquiring " substantially identical " securities within a 30 - day period before or after that loss . this poses a problem for those who want to book a loss yet own stocks whose prices now make them attractive " buy " candidates . in addition , the internal revenue service has taken the position that the wash - sale rule will disallow a loss if the investor sells an in - the - money put , because there is a strong likelihood that stock will be put to or acquired by the investor . so investors typically get around the wash - sale rule by " doubling up " : buying additional stock or options , waiting at least 31 days , and then selling the original stock to book the loss . investors double up by buying calls , which locks a price to buy stock and achieves the same effect as buying additional stock . copyright ? 2000 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . dynegy deal to buy enron hits crossroads by rebecca smith and john r . emshwiller staff reporters of the wall street journal 11 / 23 / 2001 the wall street journal a 3 ( copyright ( c ) 2001 , dow jones & company , inc . ) even as it reiterated its intention to purchase enron corp . , dynegy inc . is coming under increasing pressure to renegotiate or walk away from the multibillion - dollar deal . the pressure is stemming from the continuing slide in the price of enron shares and the mounting financial problems at the houston energy - trading company , the nation ' s biggest marketer of electricity and natural gas . during the past month , enron has taken a $ 1 billion write - off of assets , revised downward the earnings of the past several years and taken a $ 1 . 2 billion reduction in shareholder equity . the problems have been due largely to dealings enron had with private partnerships , run by some of its own executives , under investigation by the securities and exchange commission . in an sec filing monday , enron disclosed hundreds of millions of potential additional write - offs as well as the possibility that its weakening financial condition could force it to repay more than $ 2 billion in loans by the end of the year . as of 4 p . m . wednesday in new york stock exchange composite trading , enron shares fell $ 1 . 98 , or 28 % , to $ 5 . 01 each after having dropped 23 % tuesday . in excess of 115 million shares traded wednesday , more than four times the volume of any other big board stock . enron ' s bonds also again traded sharply lower , market observers said . the turmoil spilled over to dynegy ' s stock , which also was among the most actively traded on the new york stock exchange . as of 4 p . m . wednesday , dynegy shares fell $ 1 . 94 to $ 39 . 76 each . on wednesday , dynegy issued a statement in which chairman and chief executive chuck watson said his company was working " to accelerate the regulatory approvals required to complete the merger in accordance with the previously announced agreement " though it continued to perform " due diligence " on enron . under the merger agreement , dynegy has opportunities to renegotiate or walk away from the deal if enron ' s financial and legal problems become severe enough . however , some observers said it can be difficult to invoke these so - called material adverse change clauses . they point to a decision earlier this year by a delaware chancery court judge who forced tyson foods inc . to complete a planned purchase of ibp inc . even though tyson , a springdale , ark . , food - products company , had wanted to cancel the transaction because of a drop in ibp ' s earnings and accounting problems at an ibp unit . dynegy officials didn ' t return calls seeking comment . to complete the deal , two - thirds of dynegy shareholders and a majority of enron shareholders would have to give their approval . no dates for those votes have been set . one person familiar with the merger plans said the sec filing monday by enron contained information dynegy hadn ' t known about . dynegy representatives planned to work through the weekend evaluating the importance of this new information as part of the company ' s due diligence , this person said . it couldn ' t be determined what the new information was . the merger agreement , announced nov . 9 , calls for dynegy to exchange 0 . 2685 share for each of enron ' s roughly 850 million fully diluted shares , giving the purchase a value of about $ 9 billion at dynegy ' s current stock price . however , from a price standpoint , the deal is appearing less attractive to dynegy . on the day of the merger announcement , enron shares were trading at about $ 8 . 63 each , or about 83 % of the purchase price under the exchange ratio . as of wednesday , enron ' s market price was only about 47 % of the merger - formula price . such a sharp deterioration is unusual following a merger announcement , when the stock price of the company being acquired generally begins trading relatively close to the offering price . sentiment among wall street analysts also is turning against the merger . initially , many analysts lauded the merger as a move that would rescue enron and provide a major boost to houston - based dynegy . dynegy and enron officials have predicted that the merger , supposed to be completed late next year , would significantly and immediately increase dynegy ' s earnings . now analysts are challenging that assumption . ron barone , managing director at ubs warburg llc , said he believes that because of enron ' s financial problems , a combined company would actually have lower earnings next year than dynegy would have by itself . mr . barone said he thinks a " likely scenario " is that the merger formula will be renegotiated sharply down to about 0 . 15 dynegy share for each enron share . such a ratcheting down wouldn ' t be without precedent in the deal . according to one person familiar with the merger negotiations , dynegy reduced the exchange formula at least once prior to the nov . 9 announcement because of enron ' s rapidly sinking stock price , which at the beginning of this year was above $ 80 a share . in perhaps the most significant sign of the turning tide on wall street , goldman sachs analyst david fleischer lowered his ratings on enron and dynegy . a longtime enron fan , mr . fleischer issued a report expressing doubts that the merger would help dynegy ' s earnings and whether enron could " recover the significant business that has been lost " in its giant energy - trading operations . " the enron machine continues to sputter , " mr . fleischer wrote . some observers say that if dynegy walked away from the deal or tried to renegotiate the terms significantly , enron might be pushed into a bankruptcy - law filing . without the dynegy acquisition and continued support from its bankers and customers , an enron bankruptcy - court filing " is highly possible , " said ralph pellecchia , a senior director at fitch , a credit - ratings agency . on wednesday , fitch maintained its credit rating on enron at just one notch above noninvestment - grade , or " junk , " status . but fitch also said it believed enron ' s trading partners had made " significant cash collateral calls " in recent days that are " well in excess of previous expectations , " contributing to " liquidity pressures . " among the advisers enron has hired during its current crisis is the law firm of weil , gotshal & manges , which specializes in bankruptcy and corporate - workout situations . asked about a possible bankruptcy filing , an enron spokeswoman said the company expects the dynegy deal to go through and therefore doesn ' t expect to have to look at alternatives to the merger . since the merger announcement , enron chairman kenneth lay has said his company had alternatives to the dynegy deal but he has declined to identify them . enron said it made some progress improving its financial position . the company said it reached a final agreement with units of j . p . morgan chase & co . and citigroup inc . on the remaining $ 450 million of a previously announced $ 1 billion in secured credit lines . enron said lenders had agreed to extend repayment of an existing $ 690 million note to mid - december from next week . the spokeswoman said a restructuring of that obligation is expected to be completed next month so that repayment wouldn ' t be required this year . - - - thaddeus herrick and robin sidel contributed to this article . copyright ?

" i feel like i have been betrayed , " mr . rinard said in press release issued by his lawyers . " i lost my savings , my plans for the future , everything . " under federal pension law , companies are allowed to offer their own stock in retirement plans , and are allowed to force employees to hold onto the stock . enron doesn ' t let employees diversify out of shares they receive as matching contributions to the 401 ( k ) plan until age 50 . however , plan trustees are supposed to operate the plan in the best interests of the participants , which includes choosing prudent investments . generally , to prove that the plan ' s administrators breached their fiduciary duties , employees must show that the trustees knew the stock was a bad investment . this presents a high hurdle , so it is not surprising that prior lawsuits over losses in company stock in 401 ( k ) plans have generally come in the wake of allegations of accounting irregularities . lynn sarko , one of ms . tittle ' s attorneys with seattle ' s keller rohrback llp , is also co - lead counsel in a similar lawsuit against lucent technologies inc . , murray hill , n . j . another firm representing ms . tittle is dalton gotto samson & kilgard plc , which is lead counsel in a similar suit against ikon office solutions inc . , malvern , pa . the two law firms are representing ms . tittle with campbell harrison & wright . the suits against lucent and ikon , like the suit against enron , allege that then - current plan trustees kept offering company stock in the plan despite knowing of serious business problems that would hurt the stock price . representatives for ikon and lucent say their companies didn ' t require employees to invest in the company stock , and educated employees about the need for diversification . the suit in which mr . rinard is plaintiff notes that on oct . 17 , a day after enron announced the company was taking a nonrecurring charge totaling $ 1 . 01 billion in the third quarter , enron " locked down " the 401 ( k ) plan ' s assets , preventing participants from selling enron shares . ( a " lock - down " occurs when a retirement plan is transferred from one administrator to another , and generally lasts several weeks , during which time participants can ' t make changes in their investment choices ) . the lock - down was lifted on nov . 19 . in the interim , on nov . 8 , enron announced it would be forced to restate downward its reported financial results from 1997 through 2000 . by the time the lock - down was lifted , as a result of all the negative news the shares had fallen to below $ 9 a share from $ 32 . 20 on oct . 17 , when the lockup started , hagens berman attorney karl barth said . " they were locked into it right when enron knew it was going to be announcing some really bad news , " mr . barth said . " mr . rinard ' s looking at having no retirement savings now . it ' s a horrible thing to have to start over in your 50 s . " copyright ? 2000 dow jones section c from sunbeam to enron , andersen ' s reputation suffers by floyd norris 11 / 23 / 2001 the new york times page 1 , column 2 c . 2001 new york times company this has been the worst year ever for arthur andersen , the accounting firm that once deserved the title of conscience of the industry . the securities and exchange commission filed civil fraud complaints against the andersen partner who audited sunbeam and against the firm itself in the waste management case . now enron has repudiated the financial statements that were certified by arthur andersen , in the process shaving more than half a billion dollars from the company ' s reported profits in recent years . all of which raises the question : has arthur andersen become the black sheep of the accounting industry ? it is not an easy question to answer , and not everyone is willing to rush to judgment . ' ' if you want to attack andersen for enron , you need to know more than we know , ' ' arthur levitt , the former chairman of the securities and exchange commission , said this week . but if there is a thread connecting what is known about the three cases , it is materiality . in all three cases , andersen auditors spotted bad accounting but were persuaded it was immaterial and therefore allowed it to go ahead . materiality is one of those flexible concepts that can get accountants into trouble . the idea is that it doesn ' t much matter if a few little things were gotten wrong . but they can add up . at enron , however , they did not add up to that much - - a total of $ 93 million over four years . the biggest restatement of enron profits concerns a related party that enron now says should have been consolidated . it is not clear if andersen had the facts needed to make that decision at the time . to those who treasure the role of auditors , the humiliation of andersen is painful . back in the 1950 ' s , it was leonard spacek , andersen ' s managing partner , who warned that ' ' the profession ' s existence is in peril ' ' because it was not showing enough independence . his public prodding was crucial in making the industry do a better job . two decades ago , when the issue on the table was pension accounting , andersen was the only major accounting firm to break with clients and push for good rules . now andersen ' s backbone is open to question . it was evidence that senior people at andersen repeatedly gave in to pressure from waste management that led the s . e . c . to bring that suit , which the firm chose to settle without admitting it had done anything wrong . the partner that the s . e . c . says looked the other way at sunbeam is fighting the accusations , and andersen says he acted properly . lynn turner , who was chief accountant of the s . e . c . at the time and is now director of the center for quality financial reporting at colorado state university , says what is happening to andersen now is reminiscent of what happened to coopers & lybrand when he was a partner there and the firm had a series of highly publicized blown audits . ' ' we got bludgeoned to death in the press , ' ' he said . ' ' people did not even want to see us at their doorsteps . it was brutal , but we deserved it . we had gotten into this mentality in the firm of making business judgment calls . ' ' by that he meant that the firm paid too much attention to not offending clients and not enough to good accounting . for andersen to avoid that fate , its relatively new chief executive , joseph berardino , who declined to be interviewed for this column , will need to set a tone inside the firm making clear that he expects auditors to show the backbone that mr . spacek epitomized . and then he will have to convince the public of that . copyright ? 2000 dow jones section c chase and j . p . morgan ' s paper anniversary a year after the merger , rosy plans meet reality by riva d . atlas 11 / 23 / 2001 the new york times page 1 , column 5 c . 2001 new york times company when william b . harrison jr . speaks of last year ' s $ 31 billion merger of j . p . morgan and the chase manhattan corporation , he speaks proudly of a deal that he considers to be a capstone to his 34 - year career of helping build a giant of the banking business . ' ' this is the first merger i ' ve been part of , ' ' said mr . harrison , the chief executive of the combined bank , ' ' where i feel our core business is complete . ' ' the chase - j . p . morgan combination helped advance the bank into the investment banking elite , just as mr . harrison intended . but with wall street and the economy in far different places today than they were when the deal was put together , the many mergers , stock sales and other money - making opportunities that were supposed to justify the high - priced acquisition have largely dried up for now . consequently , deal makers and analysts who follow the bank are already speculating that mr . harrison , 58 , may ultimately be compelled to do yet another large deal , this time to diversify his business away from its heavy emphasis on wall street . j . p . morgan chase has won some prominent assignments , like handling the revampings of troubled giants like lucent and , more recently , enron , the beleaguered energy trading company . but while j . p . morgan chase is proud of serving alongside citigroup as both lead lender and adviser to enron on its acquisition by dynegy , the dual role it has worked to achieve sometimes proves complicated for the bank . with enron ' s shares in free fall as more information comes out about its hidden debts , j . p . morgan chase has been scrambling to maintain the support of other banks while simultaneously keeping the merger with dynegy on track . thanks largely to the slump on wall street , j . p . morgan chase ' s profits fell by two - thirds in the third quarter , to $ 449 million from $ 1 . 4 billion in the period a year ago . its stock has dropped 15 percent this year , more than other banks ' shares . the bank ' s stock is ahead of investment banks like goldman sachs , with which j . p . morgan chase increasingly competes . ' ' the jury is still out in many respects on this merger , ' ' said judah kraushaar , an analyst at merrill lynch . nevertheless , he likes j . p . morgan chase ' s stock , he said , because ' ' expectations are very low . ' ' all j . p . morgan chase ' s competitors are suffering from the slowdown on wall street . but some , like citigroup , are better diversified and have greater involvement in old - fashioned consumer banking , which is proving to be a strong moneymaker this year . nearly a third of j . p . morgan chase ' s revenues are consumer - oriented . by contrast , its chief new york rival , citigroup , gets half its revenues from consumer businesses . ' ' the timing of the merger was bad , ' ' said steven wharton , a banking analyst at loomis , sayles donald h . layton , one of two leaders of investment banking ; and james b . lee jr . , the bank ' s senior deal maker . the team also includes dina dublon , the bank ' s chief financial officer . two other senior executives have also lived through big deals . geoffrey t . boisi , the other investment banking leader , was the one - time investment banking chief at goldman , sachs . david a . coulter , in charge of chase ' s retail bank , had been chief executive of bank of america before it was bought by nationsbank . ' ' there aren ' t many teams that have gone through as many mergers as bill harrison and his team , ' ' said mark g . solow , managing principal at garmark advisors , an investment firm , and a former senior executive at chemical . still , ms . dublon acknowledged that the tough economy was making the j . p . morgan takeover more difficult than the earlier combinations . ' ' in general , mergers are very hard on morale , ' ' she said . ' ' there is no question that this one has a tougher emotional toll . ' ' the bank ' s executives are making the best of a bad situation . they have taken advantage of the slowdown to cut around 8 percent of the combined banks ' staff , or about 2 , 500 more employees than anticipated at the time the merger was announced . many of these job cuts were aimed at high - cost investment bankers : j . p . morgan chase expects that 6 , 000 jobs in its investment banking division will have been eliminated by the end of the year . ' ' we have focused on the tougher jobs to cut , ' ' ms . dublon said . in some ways the overall market turmoil has made it easier for j . p . morgan chase to overhaul its staff . with fewer jobs available on wall street , mr . shapiro said , the employees who are left behind are less apt to complain about changes in their jobs . ' ' people have fewer options , ' ' he said , ' ' so you have a little more control over the process . ' ' thanks partly to these cuts , the bank estimates the saving from cost cutting will be $ 3 . 6 billion annually , compared with an original projection of $ 2 billion at the time of the merger . the cost cutting has helped compensate somewhat for a sharp drop in profits in the bank ' s core businesses . ' ' what we can control and are managing very aggressively is the expenses of the company , ' ' ms . dublon said in a conference call with reporters on oct . 17 , the day earnings were announced . aside from cost cuts , the weakness on wall street makes it hard for the bank ' s executives to point to tangible gains in investment banking , where fees were down 24 percent in the third quarter . but mr . harrison points to market - share gains the bank has achieved at the expense of competitors on wall street . he hopes that when the investment banking business revives , j . p . morgan chase will hold on to these gains . the bank is particularly proud of its standing in two areas : mergers and acquisitions , and the underwriting of large investment - grade bond deals . the bank ranked 5 th worldwide in the highly profitable category of advising on mergers during the first nine months of 2001 , up from chase ' s 12 th - place finish and j . p . morgan ' s 10 th - place standing during the same period last year , according to thomson financial securities data . the merger and acquisitions business , which chase had been slowly building for years , is stronger following the merger with j . p . morgan , said mr . lee , a vice chairman at the bank . as a result , the bank is able to win assignments providing advice to customers who dealt with the old chase only for loans . mr . lee remains proud of the bank ' s work with enron , the energy company , despite its troubles . j . p . morgan chase , along with citigroup , raised $ 1 billion in bank financing for enron earlier this month . it was also hired to advise the company , which hopes to be saved from collapse by being taken over by dynegy . the old chase , long a lending powerhouse , would have had a good shot at leading the bank financing , but an advisory role would have been less certain . mr . lee said the investment banker advising enron came from the old j . p . morgan . but with merger activity slow , there are few such deals to go around . the bank is also proud of its strength in long - term investment - grade bonds , another area that business executives say has been enhanced by the merger . it moved up to second place in that area so far this year , compared with sixth place a year ago . the bank has taken advantage of a boom in large corporate bond offerings , a surge driven by today ' s low interest rates . in may j . p . morgan chase raised $ 12 billion in bonds for worldcom , the telecommunications company , in the largest corporate debt deal in the united states on record . unfortunately for j . p . morgan chase , the fees for underwriting investment - grade debt are small compared with the money to be earned coordinating offerings of stock , where j . p . morgan chase remains a second - tier competitor . the bank actually lost market share in the rankings for underwriters of stock , falling to 9 th place this year , compared with the old j . p . morgan ' s 6 th - place finish a year ago . ( chase was 11 th . ) mr . harrison said the bank was taking advantage of the slowdown in stock offerings to build momentum slowly in that business . ' ' we think we have a chance in the second half of this year to be in the top five , ' ' he said . given the slowdown , some bankers predict that mr . harrison will ultimately do another deal , either to expand his consumer banking business or to bolster weak areas in investment banking , like the equity division . ' ' the general view is that the combination with j . p . morgan didn ' t do enough , ' ' one investment banker said . mr . harrison disagrees : ' ' i don ' t feel , ' ' he said , ' ' we need to do another large deal to be successful . ' ' photo : william b . harrison jr . , the chief executive , says he has no doubts about the wisdom of forming j . p . morgan chase , even though the the economy has slowed since then . ' ' i can ' t tell you how happy i am about having done this merger , ' ' he said . ( associated press ) chart : ' ' still looking for the right mix ' ' when j . p . morgan and chase announced their merger in september 2000 , the combination ' s strength in investment banking seemed sure to be successful . but the bank ' s stock has suffered with wall street ' s slump , and its more consumer - oriented and better - diversified rival , citigroup , has fared better . graph tracks the daily closing prices of citigroup and j . p . morgan chase shares from september 2000 through november 2001 . a different blend of banking based on revenue , before overhead expenses ( first nine months of 2001 ) . j . p . morgan chase * consumer and small business : 32 % investment management and private : 9 % corporate and investment : 58 % citigroup consumer and small business : 54 % investment management and private : 4 % corporate and investment : 42 % * does not add to 100 because of rounding .

" you ' ve got to believe there is that possibility . there is a 90 percent spread on the deal , " said one analyst . " there ' s unquestionably continued malaise in enron ' s core business and dynegy has left itself open to renegotiate with enron . " ubs warburg analyst ron barone on wednesday wrote in a research report that the likelihood was " soaring " that dynegy might discover a material adverse change . enron spokeswoman karen denne said that , to her knowledge , dynegy was not renegotiating the terms of the acquisition . she repeated that enron was working on obtaining an additional $ 500 million to $ 1 billion in private equity funding to help shore up the balance sheet . dynegy spokesman john sousa said due diligence was continuing and said the company remains optimistic about the merger . traders fearing renegotiation enron ' s recent admission that lower volumes at its trading business - the crown jewel of enron that dynegy most covets - could cause low fourth - quarter earnings raises the possibility that the trading business is losing its profitability . continued losses there would remove a key attraction for dynegy . electricity traders said the latest developments are making it seem more likely that dynegy will renegotiate the deal or back out entirely , a move they said would leave enron vulnerable to creditors and a possible bankruptcy . this week rating agency fitch investors said that if dynegy stepped away from the merger , enron ' s credit situation seemed untenable and a bankruptcy filing was highly possible . traders , speaking on condition on anonymity , said they expected dynegy to scramble over the weekend to narrow the growing share price gap . enron ' s depleted market value and the shrinking volume in its enrononline trading system makes it more likely dynegy could pull out , traders said . meanwhile , energy traders reiterated that they would shy away from long - term deals with enron unless they received substantial assurances the company ' s credit rating would soon improve . enron ' s bonds on friday were again talked at junk - bond levels , but even lower than before . enron ' s 6 . 4 percent notes maturing in 2006 and its 6 . 75 percent notes were bid friday at 57 cents on the dollar , down from a respective 62 and 60 cents on wednesday , according to a trader . the notes yield to maturity a respective 21 . 5 percent and 17 percent . its 20 - year zero - coupon convertible bonds fell about 1 cent on the dollar to just over 33 cents . enron is hovering at the edge of investment - grade as the three main credit trading agencies consider whether to cut them again , and some observers wonder how enron has avoided it . " a bond trading in the 50 s has nothing to do with an investment - grade security , " said scott smith , a principal at wells capital management in san francisco , where he invests $ 6 billion in debt and does not own enron .

" if dynegy walks away , it said , " enron ' s credit situation seems untenable with a bankruptcy filing highly possible . " enron said on monday it had $ 9 . 15 billion of obligations due through next year , and a $ 690 million note that could come due next tuesday . it later said it got a three - week reprieve . investment banks sean egan , managing director of egan - jones ratings co . in philadelphia , likened enron ' s ratings situation to those of california ' s two largest utilities , pacific gas & electric co . and southern california edison . despite investor unease , those utilities kept their investment - grade ratings only until they defaulted on debt in january , as california ' s power crisis worsened . on november 8 , a day before the dynegy merger was announced , senior officials from enron ' s lead banks - william harrison , chief executive of j . p . morgan chase & co . , and michael carpenter , who runs citigroup inc . ' s investment banking arm - met with moody ' s to help allay that agency ' s concerns , a person familiar with the meeting said . a day later , moody ' s , which issued no statement on enron this week , downgraded the company ' s senior unsecured debt rating , but only to its current " baa 3 . " " pressure is coming from the investment banks , which have a vested interest in seeing the dynegy deal go through , " said egan , whose agency rates enron ' s debt " bb , " its second - highest junk grade . " investment banking fees will be substantial . " companies pay for moody ' s and s & p ratings , which they need to obtain financing . egan said his agency receives no such payments . citigroup and j . p . morgan declined to comment . moody ' s and s & p did not immediately return phone calls . fitch was not immediately available for comment . dynegy and enron on wednesday , however , reaffirmed their commitment to the merger . wells capital ' s smith isn ' t sure what to expect . " enron will remain definitively investment grade if the merger as billed goes through , . . . but there are half a dozen things that could go wrong , " he said . " obviously , the equity markets are telling you it ' s very skeptical the merger will go through , and the bond market is following its lead .

' s plan to buy compaq computer corp . will , if finalized , result in 15 , 000 layoffs at the two companies . compaq also announced 8 , 000 layoffs worldwide in july . " it ' s fair to say that the potential layoffs at enron and the layoffs at continental , taken alone , are negative factors , although probably small in the grand scope of the houston economy , " said phil scheps , director of houston ' s finance and administration department . since last month when enron became a target of a securities and exchange commission investigation into financial dealings with partnerships , the energy giant ' s market share has steadily eroded . while neither enron nor dynegy have given any indication of the number of layoffs that could hit houston , barton smith , director of the institute for regional forecasting at the university of houston , said the layoffs " will be spread out over a long period of time and will not be excessive . " robin kapiloff , an analyst at moody ' s investors service , said the city ' s efforts to diversify its economy over the past decade will protect its revenue collections , even as some of the city ' s biggest employers suffer .

offs as well as the possibility that its weakening financial condition could force it to repay more than $ 2 billion in loans by the end of the year . as of 4 p . m . wednesday in new york stock exchange composite trading , enron shares fell $ 1 . 98 , or 28 % , to $ 5 . 01 each after having dropped 23 % tuesday . in excess of 115 million shares traded wednesday , more than four times the volume of any other big board stock . enron ' s bonds also again traded sharply lower , market observers said . the turmoil spilled over to dynegy ' s stock , which also was among the most actively traded on the new york stock exchange . as of 4 p . m . wednesday , dynegy ( dyn ) shares fell $ 1 . 94 to $ 39 . 76 each . on wednesday , dynegy issued a statement in which chairman and chief executive chuck watson said his company was working " to accelerate the regulatory approvals required to complete the merger in accordance with the previously announced agreement " though it continued to perform " due diligence " on enron . under the merger agreement , dynegy has opportunities to renegotiate or walk away from the deal if enron ' s financial and legal problems become severe enough . however , some observers said it can be difficult to invoke these so - called material adverse change clauses . they point to a decision earlier this year by a delaware chancery court judge who forced tyson foods inc . to complete a planned purchase of ibp inc . even though tyson , a springdale , ark . , food - products company , had wanted to cancel the transaction because of a drop in ibp ' s earnings and accounting problems at an ibp unit . dynegy officials didn ' t return calls seeking comment . to complete the deal , two - thirds of dynegy shareholders and a majority of enron shareholders would have to give their approval . no dates for those votes have been set . one person familiar with the merger plans said the sec filing monday by enron contained information dynegy hadn ' t known about . dynegy representatives planned to work through the weekend evaluating the importance of this new information as part of the company ' s due diligence , this person said . it couldn ' t be determined what the new information was . the merger agreement , announced nov . 9 , calls for dynegy to exchange 0 . 2685 share for each of enron ' s roughly 850 million fully diluted shares , giving the purchase a value of about $ 9 billion at dynegy ' s current stock price . however , from a price standpoint , the deal is appearing less attractive to dynegy . on the day of the merger announcement , enron shares were trading at about $ 8 . 63 each , or about 83 % of the purchase price under the exchange ratio . as of wednesday , enron ' s market price was only about 47 % of the merger - formula price . such a sharp deterioration is unusual following a merger announcement , when the stock price of the company being acquired generally begins trading relatively close to the offering price . sentiment among wall street analysts also is turning against the merger . initially , many analysts lauded the merger as a move that would rescue enron and provide a major boost to houston - based dynegy . dynegy and enron officials have predicted that the merger , supposed to be completed late next year , would significantly and immediately increase dynegy ' s earnings . now analysts are challenging that assumption . ron barone , managing director at ubs warburg llc , said he believes that because of enron ' s financial problems , a combined company would actually have lower earnings next year than dynegy would have by itself . mr . barone said he thinks a " likely scenario " is that the merger formula will be renegotiated sharply down to about 0 . 15 dynegy share for each enron share . copyright ( c ) 2001 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . copyright ? 2000 dow jones financial desk employees ' lawuit says enron hurt retirement funds courts : the suit claims the energy firm urged workers to invest in company stock just before it plunged . from associated press 11 / 23 / 2001 los angeles times home edition c - 2 copyright 2001 / the times mirror company houston - - two enron corp . workers are suing the company , claiming it endangered their retirement funds . the lawsuit , filed in federal court in houston under the employee retirement income security act , asserts that enron encouraged the employees to invest more heavily in company stock just before the stock tanked . the lawsuit was filed by portland , ore . , utility lineman roy rinard and co - worker steve lacey . enron shares have plunged more than 90 % over the last several months since the departure of the company ' s chief executive and an accounting controversy that prompted the firm to restate its earnings since 1997 , eliminating more than $ 580 million of reported income . steve berman , managing partner for the law firm of hagens berman in seattle , said enron touted the value of its shares and encouraged employees to put their entire portfolio into enron stock . enron officials didn ' t emphasize the risk and instead painted the situation as positive , especially when the company ' s stock began to slide , said berman , who is hoping to get the suit certified as a class action . berman wants to prove that the company ' s 401 ( k ) plan executives failed to act responsibly when they knew about serious business problems . he ' s also hoping to break new legal ground with his case . the lawsuit is patterned after a case against lucent technologies in which lucent employees sued their employer this summer for matching their 401 ( k ) contributions with company stock that tanked . that case is still in litigation . earlier this year , rinard , 54 , had $ 472 , 000 in his enron 401 ( k ) plan , which had been growing for 21 years . today , his plan is worth about $ 40 , 000 . enron gives its employees their 401 ( k ) match in company stock . in january , enron was trading for $ 84 . 87 . wednesday it closed at $ 5 . 01 a share on the new york stock exchange . the problem was compounded when many employees , including rinard , saw enron ' s stock doing so well that they decided to put their entire account into enron stock . enron executives had talked about how the stock price was poised to climb above $ 100 a share , rinard told the houston chronicle . in addition , enron employees were not allowed to make trades in the 401 ( k ) plan for about a month , starting oct . 17 . that was the day after enron surprised the market with the news it was taking a $ 1 . 01 - billion after - tax third - quarter charge to get out of bad investments . enron officials , who could not be reached , have said they had planned the lockdown for several months because the company was changing plan administrators . copyright ? 2000 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . business portland utility ' s fate tied to enron ' s future nigel hunt reuters 11 / 23 / 2001 the seattle times fourth c 2 ( copyright 2001 ) los angeles - - oregon ' s largest utility , portland general electric , faces an uncertain future as its parent enron fights for its life amid a deepening financial crisis , industry experts said wednesday . another oregon utility , northwest natural gas , is due to file next week with state regulators for approval to take over portland general . those same regulators could soon be faced with a similar application from dynegy as part of a still - pending deal to acquire cash - strapped enron . if enron were to file for bankruptcy before portland general has been sold , its future could be thrown into the hands of a texas bankruptcy court , experts said . northwest natural gas agreed oct . 8 to acquire portland general for around $ 1 . 8 billion , plus about $ 1 . 1 billion in assumed debt and preferred stock . a month later , enron announced it had agreed to be acquired by houston - based dynegy . " we ' ve been watching this from afar to see how it could impact that sale ( portland general ' s acquisition by northwest natural gas ) , " said roy hemmingway , chairman of the oregon public utility commission . " we have authority if that sale doesn ' t go through to rule on whether dynegy can take over enron , " he said . ratings agency fitch last week cut portland general ' s debt ratings due to " uncertainty at its parent enron . " wednesday , the same agency said a bankruptcy filing by enron was " highly possible " if the proposed rescue by dynegy collapses . " we haven ' t seen any credit problems so far , and portland general isn ' t in the market ( buying power for its customers ) right now in a big way , " hemmingway said . however , he noted that , " if they really were unable to conduct their business because they were not creditworthy we would have to use whatever instruments are available " to make sure service to customers is maintained . earlier this year , california was forced to take over buying power for the pg & e unit of pacific gas & electric and edison international subsidiary southern california edison after the two utilities saw their credit ratings cut to junk status . federal regulators have insisted the sellers of wholesale power have the right to sell to a creditworthy buyer . california ' s largest utility , pacific gas & electric , chose to file for bankruptcy because of its mounting debt . in a parallel , consumer advocates fear the fate of the biggest utility in neighboring oregon could end up in the hands of a bankruptcy judge . hemmingway said the oregon public utility commission recently had granted portland general a rate increase and the utility has " plenty of cash flow currently to handle its obligations . " " this is nothing like california where that was not the case , " he said . northwest natural gas , which is also based in portland , has set a target of filing next wednesday with the oregon commission to take over the utility , spokesman steve sechrist said . " we have no concerns whatsoever at this point . the deal is moving forward and there is no reason we can see why it should not " he said , noting the delay to the filing was the result of the complexities of the acquisition . jason eisdorfer , a lawyer for the citizens ' utility board of oregon , said major questions would be raised if enron went under before the deal were completed . " would the ( bankruptcy ) judge let the terms of the agreement go forward . i don ' t know . there is a risk that portland general will become an asset to be disposed of under bankruptcy , " eisdorfer said . copyright [ copyright ] seattle times company , all rights reserved . you must get permission before you reproduce any part of this material . copyright ? 2000 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . enron shares and bonds fall on concern about takeover ( update 5 ) 2001 - 11 - 23 15 : 55 ( new york ) enron shares and bonds fall on concern about takeover ( update 5 ) ( updates with dynegy comment in fifth paragraph . ) houston , nov . 23 ( bloomberg ) - - enron corp . shares and bonds fell for a third day on concern the company ' s weakened financial condition and plunging stock price may lead dynegy inc . to try to cancel or rework a takeover of the biggest energy trader . shares of enron , the most - active u . s . stock , dropped 30 cents , or 6 percent , to $ 4 . 71 . they fell 45 percent tuesday and wednesday after enron said it may have to pay more than $ 9 billion in debt due by 2003 . enron 6 . 4 percent bonds due in july 2006 were bid at 55 cents on the dollar , down from 62 cents on wednesday , traders said . enron shares are trading at less than half the value of dynegy ' s offer , which shows investors are questioning whether the buyout will be completed on the terms agreed to two weeks ago . enron ' s financial woes may prove to be a drag on dynegy ' s earnings next year if the transaction is completed , analysts said . ` ` there are continued doubts about the deal , ' ' said ubs warburg analyst ronald barone , who rates dynegy a ` ` strong buy ' ' and doesn ' t own shares in either company . ` ` enron ' s earnings aren ' t what they used to be because they ' ve lost trading business . given that , dynegy has an opportunity to renegotiate the price . ' ' dynegy spokesman john sousa said the company ` ` remains optimistic for the potential of the merger . ' ' enron agreed nov . 9 to the takeover , now valued at about $ 23 billion in stock and assumed debt , after a financial crisis threatened it with bankruptcy . on wednesday , enron got a three - week reprieve from lenders on a $ 690 million note due next week , giving the company more time to restructure its finances . dynegy chief executive officer chuck watson said he was ` ` encouraged ' ' by the commitment to extend the note payment , as well as the closing of a $ 450 million credit facility , and that dynegy remained committed to the purchase . more than 40 million enron shares changed hands today , almost twice their three - month daily average , in a session shortened because of the thanksgiving holiday . enron was the most - active u . s . stock on wednesday , with 116 million shares traded . dynegy shares rose 64 cents to $ 40 . 40 today . less than $ 2 billion in a securities & exchange commission filing monday , enron said it has less than $ 2 billion in cash and credit lines left . if the company ' s cash reserves run too low , enron is in danger of seeing its credit rating cut below investment grade . that would trigger $ 3 . 9 billion in debt repayments for two affiliated partnerships . enron ' s bankers have met with unidentified investors , including leveraged buyout firms and two industrial companies , in a bid to shore up the energy trader ' s finances with an injection of as much as $ 2 billion , the new york times reported yesterday , citing unidentified executives close to the companies . enron spokeswoman karen denne said the company is seeking $ 500 million to $ 1 billion . enron needs to raise $ 1 billion to $ 1 . 5 billion in cash within the next 45 days , said sean egan , managing director of egan - jones rating co . ` ` their trading operation has burned through cash faster than the market had expected , ' ' egan said . trading business traders including mirant corp . and aquila inc . have said they shifted transactions away from enron after its plunging stock price prompted concerns about creditworthiness . enron has said fourth - quarter earnings would be reduced partly by a drop in its energy - trading business . watson said after the enron buyout was announced he expected it to increase 2002 earnings by 35 percent . analysts said that can ' t happen unless enron recovers lost trading business . several have cut their 2002 estimates for enron . the average estimate of analysts polled by thomson financial / first call for next year is now $ 1 . 68 a share , down from $ 2 . 14 a month ago . dynegy can cancel or renegotiate if enron can ' t meet debt payments , its trading market collapses , banks demand more collateral or raise the interest rate for loans , enron ' s credit rating is cut to junk , the sec cites enron for securities fraud , or if enron ' s legal liabilities including shareholder suits exceed $ 3 . 5 billion , egan said . will dynegy renegotiate ? dynegy officials were considering whether to try and renegotiate terms of its agreement with enron , according to the new york times report . dynegy and enron are both based in houston . ` ` dynegy investors would like to see the company negotiate a lower price for enron , ' ' said credit lyonnais securities analyst gordon howald , who rates dynegy ` ` buy ' ' and owns no shares . under the nov . 9 terms , enron investors would receive 0 . 2685 dynegy share for each share held . at today ' s closing price , that values enron stock at $ 10 . 85 . a year ago , enron traded at almost $ 80 . investors worry that a cancellation of the merger would push enron into bankruptcy . ` ` the market is saying there seems to be no obvious plan b for enron and that is what has investors concerned , ' ' said eric bergson , who helps manage $ 9 billion of fixed - income assets at northern trust co . in chicago . ` ` the lower bond prices go , what the market is saying is that there ' s less chance of this deal going through .

' ' any private investment also must be large enough to make a meaningful difference : enron ' s market value is $ 3 . 7 billion and dynegy has proposed paying $ 23 billion in stock and assumption of debt . that means the private equity portion would have to approach $ 1 billion or more . the 20 largest private equity firms have assets of more than $ 5 billion under management each , according to asset alternatives , a wellesley , massachusetts industry research firm . still , many of those firms don ' t have enough free capital to undertake an investment of $ 500 million or more . an announcement of an investment may come soon , analysts say . energy trading firms such as mirant corp . and aquila inc . are doing fewer trades with enron because of concern that the company won ' t be able to finance its business . enron shares have fallen by almost half in the past three sessions . ` ` they ' re going to need this investment within 30 to 45 days , ' ' said sean egan of egan - jones ratings co . ` ` they ' re spiraling downward and they ' re going to need some more beyond the $ 1 . 5 billion contributed by ' ' chevrontexaco corp . , which owns 26 percent of dynegy . other lbos here ' s a rundown of the other most likely private equity partners for enron : - - the carlyle group could invest through a $ 1 billion energy fund it ' s raising , as well as its general u . s . buyout fund , said snow . carlyle ' s vice president for corporate communications , chris ullman , declined to comment . - - blackstone , which has a history of investing alongside other corporate partners , recently closed on a $ 4 billion buyout fund . blackstone spokesman john ford declined to comment on whether enron had approached the firm . - - hicks , muse , tate & furst , which is based in texas like dynegy and enron . hicks muse counts triton energy ltd . , an energy exploration company , among its best investments . the firm recently raised about $ 1 . 5 billion for new investments , about one - third of what it had hoped to raise , and has said it will focus on ` ` back - to - basics ' ' investments in food , manufacturing and media . mark semer , a spokesman for hicks muse who also works for kekst , declined comment on enron . spokesmen for two other firms , warburg pincus & co . and credit suisse first boston ' s private equity arm , didn ' t return calls seeking comment . - - randy whitestone in the new york newsroom ( 212 ) 940 - 1805 microsoft msn fast web access expansion slowed by enron suit 2001 - 11 - 23 11 : 59 ( new york ) microsoft msn fast web access expansion slowed by enron suit redmond , washington nov . 23 ( bloomberg ) - - microsoft corp . ' s plans to expand its msn high - speed internet service have been delayed by a lawsuit from enron corp . , which could cost the company customers during the holiday season , analysts said . msn had planned to have fast internet access over telephone lines available , with help from energy trader enron , in 45 markets starting oct . 25 . instead , the service is now on sale in about 30 markets , said msn product manager lisa gurry . the latest delay follows a string of apparent bad luck that has delayed the rollout of microsoft ' s fast internet access service over the last year . the holidays are typically a popular time for customers to buy so - called broadband access , often along with new personal computers purchased or received as gifts . ` ` they have a track record of picking broadband partners that don ' t quite work out , ' ' said joe laszlo , senior analyst at market researcher jupiter media metrix inc . ` ` it definitely hurts them with customers who want broadband right now . ' ' subscribers to fast internet access services are expected to grow fourfold by 2006 , according to estimates by jupiter media metrix , while sales of slower internet access plans decline . fast internet service over phone lines uses digital subscriber line , or dsl , technology . on track gurry said redmond , washington - based microsoft is still on track to have fast access for sale by the end of march to 90 percent of the 45 million to 50 million households that have dsl available in their neighborhoods . ` ` there is very little growth left in the dial - up access space for microsoft or anybody , which leaves them with broadband as the only potential growth area for the msn access business , ' ' said youssef squali , an analyst at fac / equities , who rates microsoft internet competitor aol time warner inc . a ` ` buy . ' ' microsoft also wants to deliver consumer services like music and video and software updates , which require fast internet access for smooth downloads . the company originally began a service with northpoint communications group inc . , a now - bankrupt provider of fast web access . microsoft has also had difficulty finding partners among cable companies who use their networks for high - speed service . now houston - based enron , which agreed in june to provide the backbone for a nationwide expansion of msn ' s service , is suing . enron claimed in its lawsuit that it isn ' t required to deliver broadband services if microsoft hasn ' t first provided a billing and ordering system that the biggest software company agreed to build . enron , which is being acquired by rival dynegy inc . , recently disclosed debts of $ 9 . 15 billion due by 2003 and restated earnings for four years . slower expansion msn has been selling high - speed access in 14 states under partnership with qwest communications international inc . for the last few months . msn has begun the planned service expansion outside of those states by working with enron competitors that msn marketing director bob visse declined to name . the company is also talking to enron , he said . enron didn ' t return calls for comment . because of the enron suit the expansion is moving slower than expected , visse said . since oct . 25 , msn has added service in los angeles , san francisco , san diego and sacramento , california , and houston , dallas , san antonio and austin , texas , giving microsoft a total of about 30 markets rather than 45 . plans to expand marketing are also on hold , visse said . ` ` it is very unfortunate that we are in the position we are in , ' ' said microsoft chief executive steve ballmer . top u . s . internet service provider america online , owned by aol time warner inc . , has also been slow to get into the high - speed market , analysts said . that doesn ' t mean microsoft is in the clear . laszlo said both msn and aol might pay for their sluggishness with tougher competition from third - place earthlink inc . and from cable and telephone companies that have more experience selling high - speed internet access . america online has more than 31 million subscribers to msn ' s 7 million . earthlink inc . has 4 . 77 million subscribers . laszlo doesn ' t think msn or america online can build the kind of lead in the high - speed market that america online has in the slower dial - up access market . ` not a permanent blow ' not that anyone need worry about microsoft . msn will be able to expand its fast internet access business even with the delays , laszlo said . ` ` they are already late in the broadband market so this means they get a little later , ' ' he said . ` ` but broadband will continue to grow over the next few years and this is definitely not a permanent blow . ' ' analysts also say microsoft still needs to find a cable partner that will let msn use its network to sell fast access over cable lines . cable is more popular than dsl with customers looking for fast web service . the five largest cable providers control 51 percent of the u . s . high - speed internet market . the five largest sellers of access via phone lines and dsl technology account for about 33 percent , according to market researcher ars inc . microsoft msn vice president yusuf mehdi said last month the company may be interested in an investment in at & t corp .

Date: Not suppliedI've been in Austin all weekend. On Friday, I spoke at the University of Texas
about EFF issues. Jon Lebkowsky was there -- hell, he organized it -- and he
blogged the hell out of the talk: Entertainment industry has tradition of attacking technology: the piano
roll, the radio (sued by vaudeville), television (would destroy cinema!),
"the Betamax affair"... the latter being the first consumer VCR. In Betamax
case, argued that the ability to make a full copy of a broadcast work would
not be a fair use (in terms of copyright). It was illegal enough that the
VCR should be kept off the market, they argued. The Supreme Court got the
case, and the thing that shook out of it was the Betamax principle: a
technology is legal so long as it has substantial non-infringeing uses.
This principle is under attack. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 1998. Illegal to defeat a copyright
measure. Regionalization system for DVDs. This is a control that limits
distribution. John Johansen in Norway figured out how to break the content
scrambling system and allows you to move from one region to another,
override copy protection. It was called DeCSS - Johansen is facing trial
for creating a piece of code. Link[1] (Wes blogged it, too[2]) Discuss[3][1] http://www.weblogsky.com/2002_09_01_blarchive.html#85500802

Cheers, Adam.Perhaps people are starting to notice how profit motive drains the
meaning out of their lives. Kinda sucks to be an ant farming for the
corporate lords. Funny how most of the rest of the world is more and
more apprehensive towards American Democracy.I just went to DC for the first time. I was awestruck by the
monuments, the words of Thomas Jefferson, the Spirit of Democracy set
in stone. Amazing to think that in little more than 200 years our
government could be so far removed from those honorable principles.
Adam Smith presumed that the marketplace would regulate itself
through morality, good faith, and responsibility. Corporate America
seems to feel that those principles stand in the way of making the
real bucks. How much more can they co-opt and commodify? Get your
copyrights in quick so you can hold on to your piece of the pie.
Health care, public programs, pensions, social security - these are
now regarded as worthless unless they can turn a profit.Ah, socialized medicine. Siestas. 6 week vacation leave. I hear Spain
is nice this time of year...At 2:35 PM -0700 7/25/02, Adam L. Beberg wrote:
