Houston Ballet gives free performances of Copp,lia
at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park
8:00 p.m. Friday May 11, Saturday May 12, & Sunday May 13, 2001
sponsored by AZURIX and ENRON

Considered the great comedy of classical ballet, Copp,lia  tells the story of
a doll so enchantingly lifelike that she mesmerizes an entire village,
captures the heart of a young swain named Franz and inspires the eccentric
toymaker Dr. Copp,lius to attempt to transform her into a living, breathing
human being.

AZURIX and ENRON are Corporate Sponsors for Houston Ballet's Miller Theatre
performances, helping to present these free performances of Copp,lia to the
people of Houston.  Houston Ballet has a limited number of tickets for the
seated area each night for employees of AZURIX and ENRON.  These tickets are
available on a first-come, first-served basis by calling William at
713-535-3235 no later than 5 PM today .  (Please be aware that all unoccupied
seats are released at 10 minutes before curtain.)

Other, free, general public tickets for the seated area (max 4 per person)
are available at the Miller Theatre 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on the day of
performance; for more information call 713-284-8351 for the Miller Theatre
ticket information line.  Tickets are not required for the lawn area.

About Coppelia
Copp,lia was first performed on May 25, 1870 at the Th,atre Imp,rial de
L'Op,ra, featuring choreography by Arthur Saint-L,on and music by L,o
Delibes. The work maintains a special place in the history of dance, serving
as a kind of bridge from the glory of the French Romantic ballet in the early
nineteenth century to the masterpieces of the Russian Imperial Theater at the
turn of the century. Writing in The International Dictionary of Ballet,
critic Karen Dacko analyzes the unique characteristics of the piece as
follows: "Copp,lia owes its longevity to its inspired, very danceable score.
But the ballet is also remarkable for its perennial appeal and for its
historical significance as Romanticism's grand finale and classical ballet's
prologue."
Copp,lia first entered Houston Ballet' repertoire in October 1974, in a
staging by Frederic Franklin (who also performed the role of Dr. Copp,lius),
and featuring scenery by Peter Farmer. In November 1979, former Royal Ballet
ballerina Anne Heaton re-staged the work for the company. When Houston Ballet
premiered its new production of the work in March 1992 featuring breathtaking
d,cor by Desmond Heeley, Carl Cunningham of The Houston Post wrote, "It would
be hard to imagine anything to cap the joyous, gentle, and glorious looking
new production of Copp,lia the splendidly prepared company of dancers and
musicians put forth Thursday evening on Wortham Center's Brown Theater
stage."    (The Houston Post, March 21, 1992)
Heeley's designs for Copp,lia never fail to enchant, most notably in the
second-act depiction of Dr. Copp,lius's workshop. The sampling of dolls on
display pay homage to the era when automatons, or mechanical toys, were the
rage in Europe -- and to Heeley's inexhaustible creativity. Among the
eye-popping toys featured in  the workshop are a huge astrologer with a
pointed hat and a robe covered in shooting stars and moons; a strongman with
a handlebar mustache and barbells; Puss n Boots; an acrobat hanging from a
trapeze holding the man in the moon; and a small ballerina dancing on the
back of a goat. In the first act, the vibrant reds, golds, and oranges of the
costumes worn by the peasants in the village conjure up a wonderfully
picturesque vision of nineteenth century Bavaria.


Liane,

 As we discussed yesterday, I am concerned there has been an attempt to
manipulate the  El Paso San Juan monthly index.  A single buyer entered the
marketplace on both September 26 and 27 and paid above market prices
($4.70-$4.80) for San Juan gas with the intent to distort the index.  At the
time of these trades, offers for physical gas at significantly (10 to 15
cents) lower prices were bypassed in order to establish higher trades to
report into the index calculation.  Additionally, these trades are out of
line with the associated financial swaps for San Juan.

 We have compiled a list of financial and physical trades executed from
September 25 to September 27.  These are the complete list of trades from
Enron Online (EOL), Enron's direct phone conversations, and three brokerage
firms (Amerex, APB, and Prebon).  Please see the attached spreadsheet for a
trade by trade list and a summary.  We have also included a summary of gas
daily prices to illustrate the value of San Juan based on several spread
relationships.  The two key points from this data are as follows:

 1.  The high physical prices on the 26th & 27th (4.75,4,80) are much greater
than the high financial trades (4.6375,4.665) on those days.

 2.  The spread relationship between San Juan and other points (Socal &
Northwest)  is  consistent between the end of September and
       October gas daily.  It doesn't make sense to have monthly indeces that
are dramatically different.

 I understand you review the trades submitted for outliers.  Hopefully, the
trades submitted will reveal counterparty names and you will be able to
determine that there was only one buyer in the 4.70's and these trades are
outliers.  I wanted to give you some additional points of reference to aid in
establishing a reasonable index.  It is Enron's belief that the trades at
$4.70 and higher  were above market trades that should be excluded from the
calculation of index.

 It is our desire to have reliable and accurate indeces against which to
conduct our physical and financial business.  Please contact me
anytime I can assist you towards this goal.

Sincerely,

Phillip Allen


Theresa,

We are trying to ensure that we have the correct imbalances on the G/L for FUGG.  Can you confirm these balances or let me know what the true imbalances should be since they were not in Unify during this time?    Also, what is supposed to happen to these imbalances. - did they go over to Northern Border or will they ever be settled?  Thanks!

Subject: SOCO Tariff Revisions

Kayne,

FYI, SOCO has asked FERC to accept revisions to its OATT. These revisions
include new source and sink language identical to the Entergy attachment M.
To summarize the source and sink revisions:

1) All transactions sinking in SOCO must show a valid load bus.
2) All transactions sourcing in SOCO must show a valid generator bus.
3) Sinks off of the SOCO system must be a valid load control area (No
generation only CA)
4) Sources off of the SOCO system must be a valid generation control area (No
load only CA)

It will take FERC a month or so to approve but we expect it to be approved an
be applied retroactively to December 14, 2000.

If you have any questions or would like to see the filing, let me or Christi
Nicolay know.

Thanks,
Bill Rust

I don't see any problem with this transaction since it appears to be limited
to Louisiana assets, but the issue of whether we are impacted by the
noncompete agreement strikes me as a commercial call.  Please let me know if
you have any problem with the transaction and I will pursue it.  Thanks.  DF

Subject: LRC Joint Venture

Please find the attached memo summarizing a proposed joint venture between
Enron North America and Texaco involving our respective intrastate pipeline
assets in Louisiana (i.e., Enron's LRC pipeline).  The joint venture would
restrict Enron and its affiliates from pursuing certain limited business
opportunities involving specified pipeline assets that may be competitive
with the joint venture.  Specifically, these assets include:

(i) the Acadian Gas Pipeline System (currently ultimately owned by Shell
Petroleum Inc. USA),
(ii) the Cypress Gas Pipeline System (currently ultimately owned by Shell
Petroleum Inc. USA),
(iii) the Louisiana Intrastate Gas System (currently ultimately owned by
American Electric Power Co. Inc.),
(iv) the Louisiana Gas System (currently ultimately owned by Conoco Inc.);
and
(v) the Louisiana gas pipeline assets of Koch Gateway Pipeline Co. (currently
ultimately owned by Koch Industries).

In keeping with Enron's internal policies, we are seeking your confirmation
that you have no objection to the non-compete provisions in this
transaction.  Please feel free to call Lance Schuler, Hal Bertram or me if
you have any questions.

Brian


Hi Tana,

I would like to make the Death by Chocolate if no one has taken it yet.
Since I have two other committments earlier that same day, I can make this
Friday evening and chill overnight. I have a springform also.  Is one recipe
enough for the entire group (it serves 10-12)?

Thank you for your directions, we should have no problems.  What time should
we be at your home?

Thanks,

VENTURE
MARKET
SUMMARY

Note to Readers: VentureWire newsletters will not be published
			on Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving. The next
			issue will be Monday, November 26.

As offices across the nation began to clear out for the Thanksgiving holiday, nine startups reported raising $58 million. The Brits may not be celebrating with turkey this week, but Netusability, a London-based provider of customer experience management technology and services, raised $4 million in its Series A round of funding, VentureWire learned. Past lead investor, eVerger, also led this round and was the sole investor.

VentureWire also reported that private equity firm Murphy & Partners is in the process of raising a third fund targeted for $125 million. The fund will invest in companies involved in the healthcare services, media, communications, and education sectors. If the luck of the Irish holds true, Murphy expects to have a first close
by the end of first quarter or the beginning of second quarter 2002.

Optovation also had a reason to give thanks. The developer of advanced fiber optical modules said it raised $20 million in its Series B round of financing co-led by new investors, Altamira Investment Services and Newbury Ventures. Other participants included New Enterprise Associates, Redwood Ventures, Desjardins Venture Capital Group, and BMO Nesbitt Burns Equity Partners.

Subject: Plano vs Homestead

Ben

This is a revised Plano we did late yesterday. It was adjusted from Lowell,
Mass Nepco estimate and we changed format to more closely match  Homestead
form.

Biggest differences 'tween original Plano and original Homestead were:

Homestead had dual fuel     +4M
Homestead had additional piling and foundation bulks  +1.8M
Homestead was connecting to a complicated t-line config +1.5M
Homestead had an FPL substation    +5M
Homestead did not need as much gas pipeline    -2.1M
Homestead used 6% margin     +4.4M
Homestead had lower capacity due to additional chilling  +1.5% (not capital
cost but does change $/kW)

Differences from original Plano to new Plano is that Nepco has estimated a
union job for Lowell. This impacts indirects upward by about $5M and
construction up above my earlier guesstimate by about $4M. I had doubled the
cost per manhour which Nepco also did but additionally they added manhours
for productivity loss. Additionally I moved new Plano margin to 6%.

New Homestead went up due to raw water pretreatment and first stage RO but we
dropped the substation cost so total estimated cost went down by a coupla of
million.

Numbers still just should be used for screening, no commitment.

These summaries should not be passed around.

Bruce


Jean, the $6M was a negotiated settlement between me and Marty Rosenberg of
several old disputes as we moved forward in the restructuring of the
Independence plant earlier in the year - Ruth added little other than
administrative support.

Subject: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A new updated version.....

 -----

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

PLATO: For the greater good.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

DR. TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let
it take.

SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion. We were justified
in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

RONALD REAGAN: I forgot.

HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was a
threatening dominant market position. The chicken was faced with
significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for
the newly competitive market.  Andersen Consulting, in a partnering
relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical
distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry
Integration Model(PIM),
Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge,
capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and
technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management
framework.

Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and
best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the
transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in
order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit,
and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the
implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing
an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry
cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting,
enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically
based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear and unified
market message and aligned with the chicken's mission,vision, and core
values.  This was conducive towards the creation of a total business
integration solution. In summary, Andersen Consulting helped the chicken
manage change to become more successful.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken
crossed the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be
free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken,
"Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there
was much rejoicing.

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own Eyes. How many more
chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

RICHARD NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did
NOT cross the road.

MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why?
The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone
ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around
all over the place, anyway?"

SIGMUND FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken
crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I will soon release the new Chicken Office 2002, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and
balance your checkbook.

OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?
"Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we
overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"

CHARLES DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally
selected and evolved over time in such a way that they are now genetically
endowed with the capabilities required to cross roads.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved
beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road. It transcended it.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one.

BILL CLINTON : I did not, repeat, did not have sexual relations with the
chicken.


There is a second document that Stacey was working on that is pretty much
identical as the Monthly firm deal but involves only gas on Alliance called
AOS ( this is like Interuptable gas, but a little different ). The confirms
has been raised previously, and you should have this on file.

This is the file name on the bottom of Stacey's last document.
o:\common\legal\sdickson\agreements\crestarspotcnfm.doc.

Let me know...

PS . did you send the confirm to Crestar on the firm volumes. BT


Please call Bruce Silvers with Bingham & Dana in Hartford, Conn, and tell him
my trip has  rescheduled.  Please see if he is available to meet on Monday
afternoon, preferably in New York (although I'll confirm later).  I think it
might be helpful if Nick Palatin was available as well.

Thanks,

Steve,

I am a lead recruiter at the University of California at Berkeley for
Enron Analyst/Associate program.

I contacted several friends who work at Berkeley and received an invitation
from one of them to make a presentation at the weekly Faculty Seminar
of the Dept. of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research.

The students and faculty members from the business school will be also
invited.

Berkeley in general, and Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations
Research in
particular, are important centers of academic research on electricity markets
(S. Oren works very closely with Severin Borenstein).

My presentation will focus on the Analyst/Associate program. I shall  also
have
an opportunity to discuss the power markets in California (I expect many
questions) before many experts who are very  important to shaping
public opinion and regulatory agenda.

Please, let me know who in you group could help me in preparing this
presentation
and in presenting  Enron's point of view in a more effective way.

Vince

Ken,

Attached is the agenda for Enron's upcoming Management Conference.  I've
received valuable input from numerous members of Enron's management team and
this is the result.  While it is quite a departure from the traditional
conference agenda, I think it will prove to be engaging and
thought-provoking.  I'll look forward to your input.

If you are comfortable with the agenda, I'd like to send a copy of it to the
Executive Committee accompanied by a memo from the Office of the Chairman
explaining the goals and objectives for the conference.  It is important that
senior management understand the change in format and their role, if any, on
the agenda.  (I recognize that some executives look forward to presenting at
this conference and their absence from the agenda may be an issue for them.)

I am working with some talented people to create a slide template for all
presenters.  We're also asking that all presenters use PowerPoint.  A
standardized template and format will ensure that all the presentations, even
those from external presenters, have a similar look and feel.   I'll run that
template by you as soon as it is finalized.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

I received another invoice for September production for Blue Dolphin.  Are we responsible for transportation fees for September and future production months?  Also, do the dehydration fees (MEI) apply to AEP as well? Currently, the August invoices have not been paid. If ENA Upstream is not responsible, let me know who/where I should forward the invoices.

Re:  Acquisition of General Electric 7EA Turbines

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to our discussions last week, the following summarizes the main
commercial terms agreed to by NorthWestern Corporation (&NorthWestern8) and
Enron North America Corp. ("ENA") regarding NorthWestern,s purchase through
the LLC referred to below or as otherwise accomplished without violation of
the Turbine Contract referred to below (the &Purchase8) of two (2) General
Electric (&GE8) 7EA combustion turbines (the &Turbines8), the first of which
is presently located at a GE storage facility, and the second of which is
scheduled to be available for delivery in February, 2002, and both of which
are subject to purchase from GE under an agreement with GE dated as of May
31, 2000 (the &Turbine Contract8) with respect to which ENA has the right to
cause a joint venture limited liability company in which, prior to commercial
operation of the Turbines, ENA holds a 20% equity interest and a wholly-owned
NorthWestern subsidiary (the &NorthWestern Subsidiary8) holds an 80% equity
interest (the &LLC8) to become the purchaser:

1.  Purchase Price:  NorthWestern will pay ENA $48.0 million for the Turbines
(subject to adjustment as described below). [Adjusted how?  Need specific
reference. Is the statement that the payment is for the turbines consistent
with the structure?  Definitely sounds like a UCC deal,  for what that,s
worth.]
2.  Closing Date of Purchase:  The Purchase will close on a date on or prior
to September 1, 2001, as selected by NorthWestern by not less than 30 days,
written notice to ENA,(provided that such notice may not be given less than
30 days after the signing of a definitive agreement relating to the
Purchase).  [What happens at closing?  Payment of the balance?  In the
interim are we going to be obligated to perform under the GE contract in a
certain manner?  Are we taking on implied obligations to NW?]
3.  Cash Down Payment:  NorthWestern will pay ENA an $8.0 million down
payment for the Turbines.  The first installment ($3.0 million) of the $8.0
million down payment will be due upon the signing of a definitive agreement
with ENA providing for the Purchase.  The second installment ($5.0 million)
of the $8.0 million down payment will be due at the earlier of (i) closing of
the Purchase, or (ii) July 15, 2001. [The remaining $40m due at closing, as
well as any other amounts due to changes, etc?]
4.  Liquidated Damages:   If, prior to the assignment of the Turbine Contract
[is proper reference to closing?], the purchaser under the Turbine Contract
receives any liquidated damages under the Turbine Contract, then ENA will
give notice thereof to NorthWestern as promptly as possible. [Then what?]
5.  Carry Period:  ENA will provide an interest-free carry on the unpaid
purchase price of the Turbines until July 15, 2001. If the closing of the
Purchase occurs after July 15, 2001, then the unpaid purchase price of the
Turbines will be increased by interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum on the
unpaid purchase price of the Turbines ($40.0 million) for each day from, and
including, July 15, 2001 to, but excluding, the closing date.
6.  Dual Fuel Conversion on Unit 2:  ENA will not proceed with this change
order to effect the conversion.  Instead, it will be the responsibility of
NorthWestern to effect the change order with GE.  [does this mean they will
be negotiating a change order while E Next is still the purchaser? Are we
committing to pay for the increase?  Does the purchase price increase?  Is
there a limit?]
7.  Unpaid Price of Second Turbine:  At the time of closing, one or more
installments of the purchase price of the second Turbine will be payable to
GE under the Turbine Contract (the &Unpaid Installments8).  ENA will be
obligated to pay the Unpaid Installments to GE as they become due under the
Turbine Contract.
8.  Guarantees:   There will be no guarantee by Enron Corporation of any of
the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or other obligations
of ENA in connection with the Purchase.  All obligations of the LLC under the
Turbine Contract, as well as all obligations of the NorthWestern Subsidiary
to ENA in connection with the transaction, will be guaranteed by NorthWestern
Corporation.

[governing law? Limit on remedies/damages for this letter? Dispute resolution?

NorthWestern and ENA have acknowledged that, subject to review and approval
of the structure of the Purchase and the negotiation of final documentation
relating to the Purchase (which documentation will incorporate the commercial
terms set forth above), the above commercial terms have received all
necessary NorthWestern and ENA internal approvals. [Is this true for Enron?]
In light of this acknowledgement, NorthWestern and ENA (by signing this
letter in the space provided below and returning the same to NorthWestern)
agree to negotiate, in good faith, to agree upon such structure and such
documentation, with a view to executing and delivering a mutually acceptable
definitive agreement relating to the Purchase as promptly as practicable. For
the avoidance of any doubt, it is expressly stated, acknowledged and agreed
that each of NorthWestern and ENA must be satisfied with such structure and
such documentation in its own discretion.

[I question whether there is enough wiggle to keep this from being a binding
obligation to sell]

By agreeing to the commercial terms set forth in this letter (by signing this
letter in the space provided below and returning the same to NorthWestern),
ENA grants NorthWestern, and NorthWestern grants ENA, an exclusive &no shop8
period through the close of business on Friday, April 13, 2001; and ENA
agrees that, during such &no shop8 period, ENA will not discuss or negotiate,
directly or indirectly, with any person or entity other than NorthWestern for
or in respect of the purchase or other acquisition by such person or entity
of the Turbines; and NorthWestern agrees that, during such &no shop8 period,
NorthWestern will not discuss or negotiate, directly or indirectly, with any
person or entity other than ENA for or in respect of the purchase or other
acquisition by NorthWestern of turbines from such person or entity..  As
consideration for ENA agreeing to such &no shop8 period, NorthWestern will
pay to ENA, via wire transfer on the date of receipt by NorthWestern of ENA,s
signed agreement, $1.0 million (the & No Shop Payment8).  The No Shop Payment
will not be subject to refund by ENA for any reason or upon any circumstance
(including, without limitation, failure of NorthWestern and ENA to agree upon
the structure of, and enter into a definitive agreement relating to, the
Purchase).

If ENA is in agreement with the foregoing, then please so indicate by signing
this letter in the space provided below and returning the same to
NorthWestern (by facsimile at 605/978-2840 and to the attention of the
undersigned).

       Very truly yours,

       NORTHWESTERN CORPORATION

Geynille,

I understand you are in charge of recruiting at the UofH. I am forwarding to
you the resume
of one of the students  of the University of Houston.

She is involved with the international organization called AIESEC and I was
most
impressed by her organizational skills and professional attitude. I used
to work as a volunteer for this organization many years ago and I am
still helping their local chapter.

As far as I know, she signed up for an interview with Enron.

Vince,
?
Hope you are well.
?
We spoke a while ago about who should write the preface for the book, and
you kindly offered that you would provide this.? Is this still  possible?? We
realise that you are extremely busy, so Chris and Les went  ahead and wrote
something, which is below, and if you want to review, change or  re-write?the
preface, that would be very appreciated.? Let me know  what your thoughts are.

Preface

?

?

?

One of our main objectives in  writing Energy Derivatives: Pricing and Risk
Management has been to bring  together as many of the various approaches for
the pricing and risk management  energy derivatives as possible, to discuss
in-depth the models, and to show how  they relate to each other.? In this
way we hope to help the reader to analyse the different models, price a wide
range of energy derivatives, or to build a risk management system which uses
a  consistent modelling framework.? We  believe that for practitioners this
last point is very important and we continue  to stress in our articles and
presentations the dangers of having flawed risk  management and giving
arbitrage opportunities to your competitors by using  ad-hoc and inconsistent
models for different instruments and markets (see also OTHERS WHO PROPOSE
CONSISTENT  MODELS?).? However, it is not  our wish to concentrate on one
particular model or models, at the exclusion of  the others because we
believe that the choice should rest with the user  (although it will probably
be clear from our discussions the model(s) we  prefer).? We therefore try and
give  as clear account as possible of the advantage and disadvantages of all
the  models so that the reader can make an informed choice as to the models
which  best suit their needs.

?

In order to meet our objectives the  book is divided into 11 chapters.?  In
chapter 1 we give an overview of the fundamental principals needed to  model
and price energy derivatives which will underpin the remainder of the  book.?
In addition to introducing  the techniques that underlie the Black-Scholes
modelling framework we outline  the numerical techniques of trinomial trees
and Monte Carlo simulation for  derivative pricing, which are used throughout
the book.

?

In Chapter 2 we discuss the  analysis of spot energy prices.? As  well as
analysing empirical price movements we propose a number of processes  that
can be used to model the prices.?  We look at the well-know process of
Geometric Brownian Motion as well as  mean reversion, stochastic volatility
and jump processes, discussing each and  showing how they can be simulated
and their parameters estimated.

?

Chapter 3, written by Vince  Kaminski, Grant Masson and Ronnie Chahal of
Enron Corp., discusses volatility  estimation in energy commodity markets.?
This chapter builds on the previous one.? It examines in detail the methods,
merits and pitfalls of the volatility estimation process assuming different
pricing models introduced in chapter 2.?  Examples from crude, gas, and
electricity markets are used to illustrate  the technical and interpretative
aspects of calculating volatility.

?

Chapter 4 examines forward curves  in the energy markets.? Although  such
curves are well understood and straight-forward in the most financial
markets, the difficulty of storage in many energy markets leads to less well
defined curves.? In this chapter we  describe forward price bounds for energy
prices and the building of forward  curves from market instruments.? We
outline the three main approaches which have been applied to building
forward  curves in energy markets; the arbitrage approach, the econometric
approach, and  deriving analytical values by modelling underlying stochastic
factors.

?

Chapter 5 presents an overview of  structures found in the energy derivative
markets and discusses their uses.? Examples of products analysed in this
chapter include a variety of swaps, caps, floors and collars, as well as
energy  swaptions, compound options, Asian options, barrier options, lookback
options,  and ladder options.

?

Chapter 6 investigates single and  multi-factor models of the energy spot
price and the pricing of some standard  energy derivatives.? Closed form
solutions for forward prices, forward volatilities, and European option
prices  both on the spot and forwards are derived and presented for all the
models in  this chapter including a three factor, stochastic convenience
yield and interest  rate model.

?

Chapter 7 shows how the prices of  path dependent and American style options
can be evaluated for the models in  Chapter 6.? Simulation schemes are
developed for the evaluation of European style options and applied to a
variety  of path dependent options.? In order  to price options which
incorporate early exercise opportunities, a trinomial  tree scheme is
developed.? This tree  is built to be consistent with the observed forward
curve and can be used to  price exotic as well as standard European and
American style options.

?

Chapter 8 describes a methodology  for valuing energy options based on
modelling the whole of the market observed  forward curve.? The approach
results  in a multi-factor model that is able to realistically capture the
evolution of a  wide range of energy forward curves.?  The user defined
volatility structures can be of an extremely general  form.? Closed-form
solutions are  developed for pricing standard European options, and efficient
Monte Carlo  schemes are presented for pricing exotic options.? The chapter
closes with a discussion of  the valuation of American style options.

?

Chapter 9 focuses on the risk  management of energy derivative positions.?
In this chapter we discuss the management of price risk for institutions
that trade options or other derivatives and who are then faced with the
problem  of managing the risk through time.?  We begin with delta hedging a
portfolio containing derivatives and look  at extensions to gamma hedging )
illustrating the techniques using both spot and  forward curve models.? The
general  model presented in Chapter 8 is ideally suited to multi-factor
hedging of a  portfolio of energy derivatives and this is also discussed.

?

Chapter 10 examines the key risk  management concept of Value at Risk (VaR)
applied to portfolios containing  energy derivative products.? After
discussing the concept of the measure, we look at how the key inputs
(volatilities, covariances, correlations, etc) can be estimated.? We then
compare the fours major  methodologies for computing VaR; Delta, Delta-gamma,
historical simulation and  Monte-Carlo simulation, applying each to the same
portfolio of energy  options.? In this chapter we also  look at testing the
VaR estimates for various underlying energy market  variables.

?

Finally, in Chapter 11 we review  modelling approaches to credit risk.?  We
look in detail at two quite different approaches, CreditMetrics (J. P. Morgan
(1997)) and  CreditRisk+ (Credit Suisse Financial  Products (1997)) for which
detailed information is publicly available.? Together these provide an
extensive set  of tools with which to measure credit risk.? We present
numerical examples of  applying these techniques to energy derivatives.

?
Before  we begin we stress that the models and methods we present in this
book are tools  which should be used with the benefit of an understanding of
how both the +tool,  and the market works.? The  techniques we describe are
certainly not &magic wands8 which can be waved at  data and risk management
problems to provide instant and perfect solutions.? To quote from the
RiskMetrics Technical  Document &( no amount of sophisticated analytics will
replace experience and  professional judgement in managing risk.8.?  However,
the right tools, correctly used make the job a lot  easier!

	Brown vs. Bellotti in San Diego  Dec. 7, 2000

answers your questions about the Holiday Bowl, UT's quarterback situation,
probable NFL draft picks, Mack Brown and more. Inside UT Football appears on
Thursdays.

	One of the most intriguing matchups to watch in this year's Culligan Holiday
Bowl at San Diego will take place on the sidelines with Texas coach Mack
Brown going up against Oregon's Mike Bellotti.

	 You may not know much about Bellotti, but know this about his tenure at
Oregon - in six years, he has a 48-22 record, and those 48 wins are more than
any other Pac-10 school during that time period. And over the last four
seasons, Oregon is 33-13 with four consecutive bowl game appearances. The
Ducks' two losses this season were by a combined total of 14 points (37-34
vs. Wisconsin and 23-13 at Oregon State).

	 Brown certainly is impressed by Bellotti's success at Oregon.

	 "Mike Bellotti is a personal friend," Brown said in a news release from UT's
sports information office. "He took over for Rich Brooks at Oregon a number
of years ago when they were representing the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl for the
first time in a long time. He has done a great job building on that success
each of his years as head coach. It will be fun to be around him and his team
throughout the week."

	 Added Holiday Bowl president Jim Philion: "Coach Bellotti has built the
Ducks into one of the premiere football programs in the country. The game
this Dec. 29 against Texas will increase an already exciting rivalry between
the Pac-10 and the Big 12."

	 Longhorn fans can purchase tickets to the Culligan Holiday Bowl by
contacting the UT ticket office (512-471-3333/1-800-982-BEVO) or by logging
on to the athletics department Web site (www.TexasSports.com).

	 Longhorn Q & A  Q: Longhorn officials will probably not say which bowl they
would prefer to play in, but were any of their options less desirable because
of dates, travel, ticket sales or impressing recruits?
	 ?? Todd Davis

	 BROWN:  The Longhorn team and coaching staff really wanted to go to the
Holiday Bowl. I know that sounds like, "Well, of course, that's what they
would say." But the coaches were trying to motivate the team before the
Kansas game by saying if UT won out, they would go to the Holiday Bowl, a
fun, sunny destination against a top 10 team. Aside from the beach balls and
surfing, the UT players wanted to go to San Diego because they are paid
mileage by the NCAA from their hometowns to get to the bowl game. For
instance, Chris Simms was paid $1,500 by the NCAA to get from New Jersey to
the Cotton Bowl last year. So he'll really clean up this year. Not that he
needs it. But you get the picture. It's a way for some of the players to make
a nice little chunk of change because what many of them will do is take the
mileage money from the NCAA and then try to buy a cheaper airline ticket and
pocket the rest. The players are responsible for getting to San Diego on
their own. The team will not charter a flight. (All players have to be
checked into the team hotel in San Diego by 10 p.m. on Dec. 22). Mack Brown
wanted to go to the Holiday Bowl from the time it appeared Oklahoma would win
the Big 12 South because he knew it would give Texas a chance to play a top
10 team. And he wants his team excited and pumped up to play a surging team.
Last year, Texas and its fans couldn't seem to get fired up for an unranked
7-4 Arkansas team in the Cotton Bowl, one year after having played in the
same game. So believe it when UT says the Holiday Bowl is where it wanted to
be.
	?

	[IMAGE] Casey Hampton

	Q: How high do you think Casey Hampton will go in the NFL draft?  I would
think he's a cinch first rounder. Could he go in the top five?   ??

	 BROWN:  Hampton could go in the first or second round. The second round
might be more likely because there are so many highly touted defensive
linemen coming out this year. But Hampton has been really watching his weight
and trying to improve his speed. He promised me that scouts at the NFL
combine will be surprised when

	they see him work out. Hampton is a great story. The guy just works his tail
off and knows that his height (slightly more than 6-1) will probably play
against him. So he is going to try to blow scouts away in every other area.
But as he told me in a story that The Dallas Morning News and DallasNews.com
ran before the Texas A?game, "The film don't lie. If you can show me where my
height has hurt me, it's on you." I would be surprised if Hampton fell to the
third round.
	?

	 Q: Let's see now: Rose Bowl ... Cotton Bowl ... Sugar Bowl ... Orange Bowl
...  Fiesta Bowl ... Galleryfurniture.com Bowl ...  Which one does NOT give
you cold chills just to think about?
	?? R.R.

	 BROWN:  At least the galleryfurniture.com Bowl is not called the Poulan
Weedeater Bowl, a name that still haunts the now-Sanford Independence Bowl,
where Texas A?will meet up with former coach Jackie Sherrill this year. We
have to hope the furniture bowl, which will be played in the Houston
Astrodome, fairs better than the old Bluebonnet Bowl, which went bankrupt and
failed to pay Texas and Pittsburgh their purses for the 1987 game (won by UT,
32-27). That was the last bowl game ever played in Houston.
	?

	 Q: Texas' quarterback controversy early this year was an artificial thing
manufactured by the ill-fated rotation scheme. Now, however, the  quarterback
controversy is real. Texas now has two genuine starting  quarterbacks. Chris
Simms is no longer the next boy wonder. He  has arrived. Does ANYONE in the
nation have a better quarterback  tandem than Texas? How in the world is Mack
Brown going to deal with this?  If they keep the simplified offensive scheme
next year, do you think the  QB rotation could resurface and actually work?
	?? Rowell Rogers, Denton, Texas

	 BROWN:  I said before this season that Mack Brown would earn every penny of
his salary because of the quarterback situation. And he'll earn every penny
again next year. Unless unforseen circumstances, such as injuries, dictate
otherwise, I think it will be difficult for Chris Simms to redshirt next
year. And I think it will be difficult for the coaches not to start Simms
next year. He won the job because of an injury to Major Applewhite, just as
Major won the job because of an injury to Richard Walton. If Simms starts the
bowl game, and Texas plays well and wins, Simms will have done nothing to
lose the job and would probably go into the spring and fall as the starter.
If Texas flounders under Simms in the bowl game and Applewhite needs to come
in and relieve him, then we are back to square one, with both guys battling
it out in the spring and fall to see who is the starter. Texas coaches have
said they were more comfortable with Applewhite coming off the bench this
season because of his experience. So we'll see if their stance has changed.
	?

	 Q: The 70-yard pump-and-go TD play from Chris Simms  to B.J. Johnson is both
a validation of Simms' abilities AND an indictment  of the quarterback
rotation. Chris Simms made that play happen because he had played  every
offensive down in the game to that point and knew the tendencies of the
defensive  player responsible. To my mind, that is a strong argument against
any kind of QB rotation  scheme. But, on the other hand, how can one NOT want
to play both of these  immensely talented quarterbacks as much as possible?
Can we get a rule change to allow  two footballs on the field at once (ha
ha)?   ??

	 BROWN:  The only argument I could make in favor of the quarterback rotation
next year is that Simms should have more confidence and thus should flourish
whenever he is on the field. But his comments all season have directly and
indirectly indicated that he hated the rotation and that his confidence
didn't come around until he was taking all the snaps. So I don't know if the
coaches are willing to put him through that again and risk losing his
confidence.
	?

	[IMAGE] Mack Brown

	Q: What is your opinion of Mack Brown as a gameday coach? I noticed earlier
in the season that you picked Texas Tech for the upset over the Longhorns,
which seemed to be an indictment on Mack Brown's ability to fire up the team,
assuming that Texas has more talented players. I think that he has proven
that he can win big games, but he has also had some surprising slipups. Brown
is unquestionably a great recruiter, but do you question his leadership
ability on gameday?
	 ?? Andrew Wootton

	 BROWN:  Up until the Texas Tech game, Mack Brown was saying things like "We
could lose any game we play. I just don't know which team is going to show
up. We could go 6-5 or 9-2." Those kinds of

	comments factored into my thinking when picking Texas Tech to beat the
Longhorns. Brown is as adept at public relations and communication as any
coach I've been around. So when he was saying things like that, it made you
wonder if this team was ever going to develop an identity. Clearly, this year
was a tough year in terms of leadership on the field on offense. The defense
was fine with Casey Hampton leading the charge. But the offense really
struggled to find an identity. Part of that was the quarterback rotation.
Part of it was having young receivers, and part of it was having a bunch of
guys with low-key personalities (i.e. Hodges Mitchell, Leonard Davis, Antwan
Kirk-Hughes, Derrick Dockery, Mike Williams etc.). Mack Brown even said it
was the quietest bunch of offensive players he'd been around. Once Mack Brown
and Co. decided to simplify the offense and designate Major Applewhite as the
starter, Brown was making a plea to the offense for leadership as much as
anything else.

	I think Mack Brown is a great coach. Let me say that again. He is a great
coach. I think this year was a test of his finding and developing leadership
on the field. The more he rotated the QBs, the less chance the offense had to
develop an identity because the young receivers were clearly struggling with
learning their responsibilities in four-wide as well as trying to adjust to
having two QBs coming in and out of the huddle. The offensive linemen, early
on, also struggled with gap schemes and just hitting the guy in front of him.
I'm sure the coaches thought the offense would come together more quickly
than it did. Mack Brown has already gone back and said that he wished he
played Simms more in the Stanford game - an outing in which Applewhite really
struggled until the fourth quarter. Against Oklahoma, the Sooners executed
flawlessly early and Texas got hit with a punch it couldn't get up from. It
was the first inexcusable loss of the Mack Brown era and ended his honeymoon
in Austin, according to many.

	But Mack Brown is smart enough and charming enough to have the fans eating
out of his hand any time he wants. All he has to do is tune out the negative
comments he hears reported in the media or on the Internet and simply say,
"We are doing the best we can. We learn. We make mistakes. We're going to
keep trying harder." Those are comments no negative fan can argue with.
Instead, Brown became upset with the negative voices and let it taint
everything about this season. Each press conference was filled with a comment
about how the media and fans had beat up this year's team. It was
contentious. Mack Brown uses Joe Paterno as his role model often times.
Paterno hates the media, rarely gives out interviews, etc. So if Mack Brown
is following in Paterno's footsteps on that issue, it would be a shame.
Paterno doesn't have one-quillionth the public relations savvy of Mack Brown.

	Brown got tough questions during his radio call-in show this season. Some
weeks he hid his contempt for them better than others. But a guy like Brown
is good enough and smart enough that he should just let this stuff roll off
of his back, use that self-deprecating laugh of his and then take his
frustration out in the meeting and film rooms while finding ways to turn his
team into a juggernaut. Mack Brown should know his team's personality going
into next year because so many players will be back. And he'll have this year
as a blueprint of how not to do things, in many instances. And he's where he
wants to be - at a major college football power and always being in the
position of favorite. At North Carolina, as well as he recruited and coached,
Florida State was always going to be the bully in the neighborhood. At Texas,
he had beaten Nebraska the first two times he played them and showed that
Texas was going to be the new bully in the Big 12. Now, Oklahoma has come
charging past the Longhorns and Bob Stoops has done everything without
excuses. If you notice, Stoops didn't gripe about having to play the Big 12
title game and possibly ruin his team's national title chances. He didn't
gripe about the cold weather that everyone said would do in the Sooners in
Kansas City. He has a tough attitude, and his team has adopted his attitude.
Brown has a tough attitude, too. And against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl and
all of next season will be the truest test of Brown's coaching and dealing
with expectations. Brown said, fairly and accurately, that Texas couldn't be
expected to win the national title this year because the Longhorns hadn't
finished a season in the top 10 since 1983. "How do you jump to No. 1 without
having first been in the top 10?" Brown said before the season. Does this
kind of talk trickle into the ears of players? I don't know. Most of the
Longhorns before the season (Applewhite and Hampton included) felt like Texas
could win the national title. That's one of the biggest reasons Hampton came
back to Texas this season. When UT lost to Stanford, Brown emerged from an
emotionally blasted locker room and said, "I didn't think this was a national
title team." He went on to say the team was too young. Are these excuses for
his team? If Texas beats Oregon in the Holiday Bowl, the Longhorns will have
their top 10 finish and will once again be ranked in the top 10 heading into
next season.

	On defense, the big question mark will be at defensive tackle because Casey
Hampton and Shaun Rogers will be moving on. But Marcus Tubbs, Adam Doiron and
Stevie Lee provide an ample foundation to rebuild at the position. Cory
Redding and Kalen Thornton should only get better, and there is a wealth of
talent in the seven guys behind them. On offense, the big question mark is at
running back, where Hodges Mitchell is moving on. He's a guy some Texas fans
still think is worthless. But let me tell you, he isn't. He's got guts and
gave everything he had. It may take some time to see another back who can
catch and run the way he does. UT will have several backs to pick from,
including freshman-to-be Cedric Benson. The rest of the team is proven and
will pick up Bo Scaife at tight end.

	I don't see any excuses for this team next year. National championship talk
will be all over this team like sunshine in Bermuda. Here's hoping that Mack
Brown doesn't let the nitpickers bog him down. And I include myself in that
group of nitpickers because reporters are paid to point out all of the facts
- positive or negative. Here's to hoping Mack Brown will spend less time
getting reports fed to him about negative Internet postings and any possible
negative angles in a newspaper story. Here's to hoping that he'll take on
critical questions with the ease and charm he shows publicly on a daily
basis. Places like Texas, Alabama and Ohio State have fans who are seemingly
never satisfied. Until Brown wins a national championship, UT fans will
second-guess and doubt and wonder why something else wasn't tried. That could
continue even if he wins a national title. But that's sports. It's worse now
because there is more coverage of sports than ever before with the Internet
and all-day talk radio. Mack Brown lives under a microscope. Fans think they
are as smart as coaches because they manage a fantasy football team. Brown
just has to shrug off the naysayers and focus on the reasons he loves
coaching.
	?

	 Q: Among UT's current commitments, who do you see as the freshmen most
likely to see  significant playing time next year?   ??

	 BROWN:  The more I see and hear about Midland Lee running back Cedric
Benson, the more I think he has the best chance to have an impact next year.
He appears to have the kind of vision that makes running backs special.
	?

	 Q: Only two teams had a strength of schedule rating above 3.0 in the BCS
rankings and all the top five teams had a sub 0.6 rating. Given that UT has a
decent chance in the national championship race next year, what - if anything
- can UT do to help raise its strength of schedule rating? Seems like the
Longhorns could go undefeated and still be on the outside looking in.
	 ?? Andrew Bowen

	 BROWN:  Well, gauging by how some of the BCS polls had Florida State higher
than Oklahoma, I think it's fair to say that strength of schedule is a
concern for Texas next year. I think Texas has to win all its games next
season to make sure that it is not in the position of Miami, which beat
Florida State but is not in the national championship picture. If Texas goes
10-1 next season, the Longhorns could very well not be in control of their
own destiny. With their schedule, as crazy and inflated-expectation-riddled
as this sounds, the Longhorns would probably need to win all the games to
ensure getting a shot at the national championship next season.

	Q: Who will be drafted off this team? Any first rounders? Will the draft
distract the seniors from the bowl game? Will any juniors declare early? Is
the NFL looking at any underclassmen on the team?
	 ?? Lance, Grand Prairie

	 BROWN:  The obvious draft picks are OT Leonard Davis, DT Casey Hampton and
DT Shaun Rogers. SS Greg Brown may also get a look from an NFL team after the
year he has had. I think Davis is a first-round pick for sure. Hampton and
Rogers shouldn't fall past the second round,

	although they could simply because there are a number of top defensive
lineman in next year's NFL draft. NFL scouts are intrigued by junior Quentin
Jammer because of his size and physical play at cornerback. NFL scouts like
junior De'Andre Lewis' speed and size at linebacker. But UT officials seem
confident that no underclassmen will jump from this year's team.
	?

	 Q: Please discuss the coaching staff's approach to bowl games. Did we
approach the Mississippi State Cotton Bowl with a different philosophy or
attitude than the Arkansas Cotton Bowl? What is our attitude about Oregon and
the Holiday Bowl?
	?? Keith Heugatter

	 BROWN:  The Cotton Bowl after the 1998 season was the final chapter to a
storybook season. That team was riding the euphoria of Ricky Williams'
Heisman Trophy and felt like it was on top of the world. The team that faced
Arkansas in last January's Cotton Bowl had lost two straight and then found
itself back in Dallas, feeling a little unsure about itself against an
Arkansas team looking for its first bowl victory since 1985. This season,
Texas is riding a six-game winning streak, finally got the breakout game it
was looking for from Chris Simms and really wants to win its bowl game to
finish in the top 10 for the first time in 17 years. I would be surprised -
very surprised - if Texas comes out flat and doesn't make a good showing in
the Holiday Bowl. Even though they don't know much about Oregon, the
Longhorns know the Ducks are ranked higher than they are. That's all they
need to know. If the players can avoid the trouble they ran into before last
year's Cotton Bowl (suspensions to two team leaders, Aaron Humphrey and Kwame
Cavil, as well as J.J. Kelly and Jamal Joyner), I think Texas will be strong
and focused.
	?

	 Q: Is Leonard Davis up for any major awards this season?
	?? Clark Routier

	 BROWN:  Longhorn OT Leonard Davis is one of three finalists for the Outland
Trophy. The award will be presented live on Thursday night (8-10 p.m.
Central) on the ESPN College Football Awards Show at Disney World. Davis has
been tabbed a first-team All-American by The Football Writers Association,
Walter Camp Football Foundation and Sporting News.
	?

	 Q: Can you give us an update on the men's basketball team?
	?? Shirley Lively

	 BROWN:  The men's team is starting to come together and could get a huge
boost in the next couple of weeks if senior Darren Kelly can regain his
eligibility. The semester ends Dec. 19, but coach Rick Barnes isn't sure when
he'll find out if Kelly has made his grades and regained his academic
standing for next semester. One thing is for sure: Barnes believes the 5-1
Longhorns will only get better with Kelly in the lineup. He said Kelly
dominates in practice with his dribble penetration and quickness. He said
Kelly would help players like junior transfer Maurice Evans. Evans, by the
way, has continued to look more comfortable in the Longhorns' offense. He was
named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Week, the league office
announced Tuesday. The junior transfer earned the award by averaging 22
points per game while hitting 17-of-28 (.607) field goals, including 7-of-13
three-pointers, during Texas' two victories over UT-San Antonio (70-51) and
Southwest Texas State (90-60) last week. The honor is chosen by a panel of
media observers who cover Big 12 men's basketball. Evans had a season-high 23
points on 8-of-14 shooting (4-of-9 threes) vs. UT-San Antonio, before posting
21 points on 9-of-14 shooting (3-of-6 threes) against Southwest Texas. The
lone Longhorn to reach double-figure scoring in each of UT's first six
contests, he leads the team in scoring (17.3 ppg) and ranks third in
rebounding (5.8 rpg) and blocks (five). Texas returns to action when it
travels to Tampa, Fla., to face South Florida on Saturday, Dec. 9. Tip-off is
scheduled for 6 p.m. (Central) at the Sun Dome. The game will be televised
nationally by ESPN2.
	?

	 Q: Can you give us an update on the women's basketball team?
	?? Dana Gooden

	 BROWN:  The UT women are 8-1 and off to their best start since the 1989-90
season. They moved into the top 25 (No. 25) this week and then backed it up
by traveling to Illinois and pounding the Fighting Illini, 70-54. The Illini
were ranked No. 24 last week. UT extends its win streak to six games, marking
the first time since 1996-97 that the Horns have had a six-game win streak.
The leaders of this year's team are JoRuth Woods of Cedar Hill, Tai Dillard
of San Antonio, freshman Stacy Stephens of Winnsboro, sophomore Lindsey Ryan
of Austin Westlake and Tracy Cook of Cedar Hill. UT is also getting help at
point guard from junior college transfer Kenya Larkin of Duncanville.
Freshman forward Annissa Hastings will also be one to watch. UT plays Oregon
at home on Saturday and then won't have another test until Tennessee comes to
town on Dec. 22.
