Problem: BODY: Hello Everyone, This weekend saw more tough games to pick, both in college and the pros. Among the games missed by many people were, in college games, Michigan/Michigan St.; Stanford/Washington; UCLA/Washington St.; Illinois/Purdue; and Texas A&M/TexasTech. In the pros, Baltimore/Pittsburgh was not a good game for most people, Seattle/Washington was a bad one and NY/Jets/New Orleans was missed by most people, while Kansas City/San Diego was not correctly picked by anyone. We had 31 entries this week, making the pot $93. Currently in the lead is Robert Vargas, with only 6 games missed. No one else had 6 wrong, while Carter Ellis was the only one with 7 wrong. Robert picked Denver tonight, while Carter picked Oakland. Therefore, if Denver wins, Robert will win outright; if Oakland wins, then it will come down to the total points scored. Robert chose 49, while Carter choose 30. Therefore, if Oakland wins and there is 40 or more points, then Robert will win, 39 or less with Oakland, then Carter will win. Here are the number of games each person missed this week. Andy Robert Vargas 6 Carter Ellis 7 Joe Step 8 Rick Broussard 8 Thomas Lowell 8 Russell Ballato 8 Daniel Muschar 8 Larry Campbell 8 Diana Allen 9 Reagan Mathews 9 Todd DeCook 9 Michele Wilks 9 Gautam Gupta 9 Jason Kaniss 9 Valerie Ramsower 9 Ryan Williams 9 Andy Pace 9 Joe Quenet 9 Bryce Schneider 9 Rob Benson 10 Kayne Coulter 10 Tom Chapman 10 Pat Hanse 10 Larry Jester 10 Ashish Mahajan 10 Paul Broderick 10 Jacob Shupe 10 Dave Ryan 11 Daniel Jenkins 11 Jaime Gualy 11 Dean Laurent 11

Problem: BODY: Chris: As we discussed yesterday, Laird and I spoke and we think that the presentation is good to go for Thursday. We'll need to update the numbers for the offer we made to S.D. last week. You had mentioned that you might want to include a shaped product. You still considering it? Let us know and we can add it, and make any other changes you'd like to make at this end. My flight gets into S.D. at at 8:35 on southwest. Best,

A: SUBJECT: Thursday Meeting w/Sempra

Problem: BODY: Hello, Everyone - This notice confirms the review session next week on December 19, 2001, at the Kingstad Conference Center first floor meeting room. The Kingstad Conference Center is located at 5933 NE Win Sivers Drive, about three miles east of the Portland Airport. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end by 12:30 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to "walk through" preliminary rough drafts of write-ups on Congestion Management, Pricing, and Facilities Inclusion. We are presenting these preliminary rough drafts together because of the interest expressed at the last RRG meeting to see how these interrelated concepts work together. We are not planning to walk through the drafts on Planning and Market Monitoring because they have been extensively discussed at previous RRG and Content Group meetings. But we will be prepared to discuss any questions about them. The preliminary rough drafts on all of these subjects will be posted on the RTO West website - www.rtowest.org - before the meeting, and we will send a notice to you when they are available on the website. Because this review meeting is open to members of the various content groups as well as the RRG, I will send this notice to several exploder lists. Therefore, some of you who are on multiple lists will get duplicative copies of this notice. Please feel free to vent your annoyance with me about this at the December 19 meeting. We'll also provide a schedule for completing work on the March 1 filing to FERC at the December 19 meeting. We look forward to seeing you next week on December 19. - Bud
