Just an update... I spoke with V&E this morning and the sale has been put on
hold. The negotiations broke down last week and, with the holiday, there has
been no further progress.

I'll let you know when I get an update.

Thanks,
B

FYI
I was just notified that the sale of CEG and RioGas which are hedged in
Raptor 2 will likely close next week. Current estimates indicate that the
loss on the sale will be around $30MM. It is expected that the sale of the
one remaining South American LDC will result in gains that will more than
offset this loss. Obviously, those expectations can change, but I wanted to
keep everyone informed on this.

Ryan - This expected realized loss is exactly the situation which most
concerned us in the meeting with Patti this week. Is there anything we can
do to push them towards resolving that timing of realized losses is
irrelevent, and this is not an issue?
