Problem: BODY: Hey, I was screwing around on MLB.com. The 2002 tentative schedule is out for Toronto.

Problem: BODY: JCharlton@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Attachment A of the Stage 2 ICAP Manual, as posted, states that on September 28, 2001 the NYISO will inform ICAP Suppliers of the amount of Unforced Capacity they are qualified to offer in the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period. It also states that LSEs will be notified of the final Unforced Capacity requirements ("UCR") for the upcoming Obligation Procurement Period. Neither statement is correct and a revised Timeline is available for comment. It will be discussed and finalized at the next ICAP Working Group Meeting on October 5. After that October 5 meeting, the updated and corrected Timeline will be posted for approval at the October 25 BIC Meeting. Providing firm final ICAP Supplier UCAP values or LSE UCRs was never feasible in this timeframe. Preliminary LSE UCRs for November were provided to all LSEs on September 21. Final LSE UCRs will be provided on October 9. ICAP Suppliers can estimate their UCAP value based information already supplied. All ICAP Suppliers will have a firm UCAP value for November prior to October 9, if there are no problems with the data submitted and in time to participate in the Monthly Auction to be conducted on October 11. In the meantime, Suppliers can offer as much or as little UCAP for the Winter Capability Period strip auction as they expect to have available, recognizing that their EFORd values will be updated monthly during the Capability Period. Recognize also that there will continue to be Monthly and Deficiency auctions conducted each month during the Capability Period, allowing any Supplier or LSE to clear any long or short postions.

Problem: BODY: One of the things that came out of the meeting I was at on Saturday with the UC economists (including Tyson and Yellen) was a "manifesto" that they published today (I'll have the final to distribute soon). They're having a press conference in about 10 minutes at Berkeley. In anticipation, they're quoted in a story in today's LA Times (that features Greenspan's comments) and they focus their quotes on the need to raise rates. Most of these folks in the group, lamentably, earn their living by consulting for incumbents, but there message here should be helpful, and there are a few "right-minded" economists in the bunch. (I managed to get Dr. Michaels in the group, who was a great voice of reason in the debate over what to say in the manifesto.) It wasn't appropriate for me to play a visible role in the design of the manifesto, though I attempted to offer some behind the scenes suggestions. Jeff
