(Reuters) - A radio broadcaster known as "Dave the Dwarf" has s= ued to overturn Florida's ban on "dwarf tossing," saying he should be allow= ed to decide for himself whether to participate in the barroom contests.
"= Dwarf tossing" is a contest in which dwarfs don harnesses and allow bar pat= rons to hurl them through the air onto mattresses.
Florida banned it in 19= 89 amid intense lobbying from the advocacy group Little People of America, = which said the contests were demeaning and encouraged people to treat dwarf= s as objects.
Bars that allow the contests can be stripped of their liquor = licenses.
David Flood, a dwarf who is 38 inches (96.5 cm) tall, filed suit=  on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, challenging the ban as uncon= stitutional.
He said it illegally singles out people with dwarfism.
"As so= on as you have a physical handicap ... all of the sudden they treat you lik= e you don't have a mind of your own," Flood told the Tampa Tribune.
"Just b= ecause I'm 3-foot-2 doesn't mean I can't make decisions."
Flood, 37, works=  as "Dave the Dwarf" on the morning radio show on Tampa station WFLZ.

Subject: Enron Center South (ECS) Move Back-up Plan


A backup seat and a backup computer have been assigned to you.
Please read this communication in detail.
Purpose:  Net Works has developed a backup plan for possible work stoppages after moving to the new building.
A wider business continuity plan will be rolled out next year.
Location:  Large areas of the 30th and 31st floors of the current building, Enron Center North, will be set aside for recovery purposes.
Your name has been put on the list and you will be notified once the seat assignments are finalized.
Locations will also be posted at the entryways on the 30th and 31st floors.
Timing.
Through November, backup seats assignments will be announced as each trading group moves to the new building.
The backup seats will be available at least to January 1st.
Testing.
Test times to try the backup PC and to familiarize yourself with your backup location will be announced by the IT team as the locations are finished.
Telephones.
Only regular phones will be available.
For those with speed dial phones, the IT team will download the numbers and leave them on a piece of paper at your seat assignment.
Because the numbers change frequently, we ask that you rely on keeping track of the numbers yourself and use the number lists as a last resort.
Other supplies.
The IT team is not responsible for non-technical or special needs.
If you rely on hard copy forms, address books, etc, you will need to be sure to leave appropriate supplies when you test the computer, or bring supplies along if you are asked to move to your backup seat.
Limited Access.
The backup floor is not meant as a backup day-to-day work environment.
To keep the equipment functioning and secure, we plan to limit access except for test times and if we need to invoke the plan because of a work stoppage.
Escalation Procedures.
The plan will be  as follows:    I.
During regular business hours  A.
Announcement.
You will be notified via the PA system if you need to move to the backup location.
Subject: Daily Summary of Risk Data


Summary Risk Data as of 10/26/2001		 		 Active Financial Deals	52	 Active Physical Deals	35	 P&L  Daily ($thousands)	78.0	 VaR ($thousands)	450.8	 		 ETS Margin Account Deals	0	 		   Physical deals modelled in the Caminus Zainet system are deals which have some form of price risk, (i.e.
Index to index deals, and anticipated fuel sales) This does not include standard transport or storage agreements.
P&L  Daily:   Daily change in the  mark-to-market (MTM) valuation of all deals being tracked in the Caminus Zainet system.
This includes the origination and changes in value for both the physical and financial sides of hedges, along with any speculative trades and floating unhedged phsycal positions.
VaR is "Value at Risk":  Enron Corp policy defines this as the maximum expected one day loss on the portfolio given a 95% statistical confidence interval.
This number is currently calculated on the Caminus system using a variance covariance metholodogy, rather than a Monte Carlo simulation per the Enron Corp policy.
NOTE: We are reviewing the modelling of one of the financial deals which may have a significant impact on the numbers reported above.
More detailed reports are available from the Caminus Zainet risk management system.
Please call Vince Strohmeyer at 713.853.6701 with any questions you may have.

Subject: Amoco FT contracts using alt pts


Attached are the Amoco FT contracts that have used alternate points from October,.
2000 through September, 2001.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Subject: Rates Changes


Keep in mind that when you do amendments to move primary points around, the rate must be changed in CBS for the corresponding new paths.
Otherwise, CBS reflects  max rates.
It would also be helpful when a new contract is executed that the rate be put in CBS; otherwise, again CBS reflects max rates.
It is important to get these rates in CBS as the forecasting model pulls all rate information from CBS.
If CBS reflects max rates the revenues will be grossly over estimated.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Don't Mess with Texas.


One Texas Soldier A large group of Taliban soldiers  are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand  dune.
"One Texas  soldier is better than ten Taliban".
The Taliban commander quickly orders  10 of his best men over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues  for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice once again calls out "One  Texan is better than one hundred Taliban".
Furious, the Taliban  commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun  fight commences.
After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.
The Texan voice calls out again "One  Texan is better than one thousand Taliban".
The enraged Taliban commander  musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune.
Rifle fire,  machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is  fought....  Then silence.
Eventually one badly wounded Taliban  fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his  commander,  "Don't send any more men...... its a trap.
There's two of  them".

Subject: regions file


Thomas is setting up a new NGP&L file and would like us to save a copy of each P&L to Netco\2002\0102\region#0102.
Once you decide how you are going to break them up, one file for each book or combine them together, can you save them out there so he can start linking them.
I think that for the physical regions it may be easier to keep each book separate because people could be moving around a lot.
