This is the content of an email: Davis' deadlines on energy much easier set than met By Emily Bazar Bee Staff Writer (Published Feb. 23, 2001) Exactly one week ago, Gov. Gray Davis sounded hopeful, optimistic even, when he predicted that the state and its debt-ridden utilities would forge an agreement by today on a plan to save the companies from financial doom. Problem is, it won't work out that way. Negotiations between state officials and the investor-owned utilities have produced no comprehensive agreement to announce today. Davis' predictions during the energy crisis have been wrong before. For weeks, he has set deadlines for agreements and legislative action that haven't been met. On deadline days, even when there's little substantive progress to report, Davis often holds news conferences anyway -- many of them

This is the content of an email: The 9th Circuit of the U.S. Ct. of Appeals granted EES' request to stay an injunction granted by the District Court in the UCS litigation, which would have required EES to continue to directly serve UCS. The stay allows EES to return the customer UCS to PG&E and SCE for utility service and thereby save the future accrual of an additional $144 million of negative CTC receivables. In approximately two months, the 9th Circuit will conduct a further review of the stay, at which point the litigation will return to the District Court for discovery and eventually trial.

This is the content of an email: Hey Kevin, How is it going cousin? Found the napkin that you left your email address on at Kenneally's. Man, I really was loaded by the time I left that place. I went down to CC the next day and told my parents we had met. They said they had just been at your wedding not to long before Christmas. Small world! How's Houston treating you? Been back to Kenneally's since? Drop me a line when you get a chance. Gerald,

This is the content of an email: The World Wide RibFest "celebration of the Rib" is coming up. This will be the 5th annual ribfest, and John Mee has his work cut out for him to defend the title he won last year (for the second time). I believe he will have a tough time, as the competition looks increasingly focused on unseating the former Bostonian from his Throne. For those of you who haven't been to a ribfest in the past, it's a barbeque competition where 5 to 7 cooks compete to see who can produce the best Baby Back Ribs (if you want those Fred Flintstone beef ribs, you ain't getting them here). A blind-judging takes place to determine the winner, but often the crowd gets up in arms and nominates a "peoples choice" (though this is not officially recognized by the sanctioning body). Every year, my wife asks the following: "So, besides Ribs, beer and margaritas, what else will be served?" I reply: "Nothing comes to mind." She replies: "No." As you might expect, she wins this discussion year in, year out. So, appetizers, sides, desserts and food & drink for the kids are also served. The competition around the grills gets a little rough, so I recommend that the young and faint-of-heart maintain a safe distance while the cooking and competition is taking place. The appropriate College football games will be broadcast, so you don't have to worry about missing any games. There are a couple of changes to this year's competition: The competition will be held at the John Mee/Laura Benjamins compound in Bellaire Mike Paradise (who won the very first ribfest) has stepped out of the competition this year citing "personal reasons" Date & Time Saturday November 3rd. We fire the grills up around 12:00, and the judging takes place between 3:00 and 3:30. Where 4807 Elm Street in Bellaire Directions (from John Mee himself) From downtown, take 59s to 610s. The first exit is the Bissonette//Fournace exit. Take this exit and go through the light, noting the gouging in the lamppost from that freak cherry-picker accident from last April. Before the Bisonette light, there is a big Chase Bank Building. Right before that building is Elm Street. Take a right on Elm Street exactly 236 yards to 4807 Elm Street. Go inside and ask for directions there, cause I really don't have a clue... KIDS Bring 'em! We'll have the Moonwalk set up for them again this year, and we'll have hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and drinks for them. The more kids the better. What you need to bring Nothing, except maybe some attitude to heckle the cooks while they try to concentrate.
