Some news from the weekend:


UTILITIES/ENERGY: Calif. officials investigating Reliant Energy's
finances

Los Angeles --- Reliant Energy is the subject of an investigation
by California Attorney General Bill Lockyer on allegations of price
gouging in the wholesale power market, Dow Jones News Service
reported, citing sources working on the investigation. Dow Jones
reported the attorney general is investigating how Reliant, a
generation company, was able to boost its third-quarter net profit by
25 percent to 30 percent above analysts' estimates compared with the
same period in 1999, according to the company's earnings statement.
The company has indicated that third-quarter earnings available for
equity will top last year's figure by about $110 million. Reliant
officials didn't comment on the matter.

No but we found out what they want. They don't really want all the other
stuff they asked for. What they really want is our financial information
(profit and loss).
