project hi michelle , chris , helen and i met this afternoon and discussed about the project . we think the following course of action is appropriate . the model interface will be in excel spreadsheet , with most of the inputs ( from enron as well as from the consultant ) hiding in an access data base . the access data base can be update when needed . the engine will be written in visual basis code and be linked to excel through xll ( or dll ) . helen has been discussing with ken about various aspects of the model and will finalize the access data table form with ken . in the mean time , helen and i will start working on code this thursday ( she will be in training wednesday ) . best , alex

to someone new, it just makes it more unlikely that they will be willing to
contact me.  Having played around with whitelists in the past, you'd be
amazed at how confused many people get by them as well.  They tend to
ignore the "please apply" messages.As an aside, am I the only person around who simply does not use the
addressbook feature in email programs?  I never have, and I don't see any
reason to.  It (along with not opening attachments) has helped me not to
send out viruses to people.  I generally use my own brain or my inbox as an
addressbook, and search out the last email I received from someone and hit

>What's the point of multiple email addresses? They're a pain.Well, yes.  *I* use one email address, but that doesn't mean all my friends
do.  You would need to convince everyone I know of that.  Most people I
know, at the very least, have a home and work email address.  But plenty
others have other addresses for various reasons.  Keeping track of all of
them for a whitelist seems like a pain.  It forces them to remember which
email addresses are already approved and avoid using others.Plus, I know plenty of people who change jobs, and suddenly get a new email
address from their new job.  Wouldn't it suck if, in sending out your new
job info, you had to fill out a new application for each friend just to
tell them about your new job email address? -Mike

eia ' s latest forecast of pricing and supply for the winter eia predicts supply shortfall will linger through winter the energy information administration said yesterday in its september short - term energy outlook it is projecting natural gas prices at the wellhead will increase by about 87 % this winter ( october - march ) compared to last winter . residential prices for gas are expected to rise on average by 27 % compared to last year . for the entire year , the average wellhead price for natural gas is projected to be $ 3 . 40 / mcf , the highest annual wellhead price on record ( in inflation - adjusted terms , it would be the highest annual average price since 1985 ) . the short - term supply constraints that are currently hindering the industry ' s ability to meet storage and power generation demand at the same time are likely to continue into the heating season , eia said . storage levels could end up being about 8 % below the five - year average of about 3 , 000 bcf by the start of winter if net injections continue at 10 % below historically average rates through the remainder of the refill season . the effects of increased drilling for gas are not expected to appear in the form of significantly increased production until after the next heating season , according to the agency ' s report . " for now , we are continuing to maintain a conservative view of possible increases in domestic gas production for 2000 and 2001 , with assumed increases of 0 . 5 % and 1 % , respectively , for this year and next . . . , " the eia report stated . " on the other hand , the u . s . natural gas rig count on aug . 25 was at a recent high of 794 rigs . exploration and production budgets for many natural gas producers are expected to increase sharply in 2000 and 2001 , spurred by higher prices and greatly improved current and expected revenues from producing assets . also on the positive side , data from the texas railroad commission suggest that , through may , year 2000 gas production increased , if only slightly ( 0 . 4 % ) . this signifies a turnaround ( however modest ) in a key producing region . very high gas drilling rates , including a record - setting pace in deep offshore gulf of mexico , confirm that increasingly positive results for domestic gas production are under way . " imports are projected to rise by about 12 % next year primarily because of the 1 . 35 bcf / d alliance pipeline coming on line next month . meanwhile the demand outlook remains bullish at 4 . 2 % annual growth . in 2001 , however , the forecast has been revised downward to 2 . 5 % growth because of higher than expected natural gas prices . the industrial sector is the leading sector for demand increases in 2000 at 9 . 3 % , while electric utility demand is expected to decline by 4 . 0 % primarily because of power plant sales . for the power generation sector as a whole , gas demand is expected to grow 6 . 5 % this year and 1 . 5 % in 2001 . eia said the reduced growth rate next year is largely due to the reversal in relative prices of fuel oil and natural gas , which began in august , with fuel oil gaining the price advantage as gas prices continued to rise . gas demand this winter is expected to be up by 5 . 7 % compared to last winter if weather is normal . normal weather implies a 12 % rise in heating degree - days compared with last winter .

re : risk metrics i completely agree with you . nevertheless , i am sorry if i did not make myself clear when we talked about this last tuesday : i am not advocating penalizing business units because of their lweek rovars or sharpes . i would certainly not set traders ' bonuses based on these numbers ( nor do i think anyone at enron would consider doing that ) . enron focuses on long term profit and risk . however , the long term is made up of many short terms , and catastrophes can occur if a company ' s management does not pay close attention to the latter . indeed , enron management is very interested in short term profitability ( they want to be notified of very large 1 and 5 day losses ) and short term risk ( we report daily var limit violations ) . in this spirit , i am simply offering 1 and 4 week rovars and sharpes as something interesting and useful that we can now produce from the dpr database , and i will let upper management use or ignore them as they see fit . regards , eugenio naveen andrews @ enron 09 / 08 / 2000 11 : 13 am to : eugenio perez / hou / ect @ ect cc : ted murphy / hou / ect @ ect subject : risk metrics eugenio , in regard to your recent e - mail concerning rovar , sharpe and other risk metrics , and our meeting on tuesday , it is imperative to understand that ( 1 ) while p & l is a number one can aggregate on a daily basis , var numbers on 1 - week or 4 - week basis , and consequently rovar numbers , are not meaningful operationally ( ie , trading activity and senior management decision - making ) and statistically . rovar and sharpe were designed to measure business unit performance over extended time periods ( preferably a year ) . specifically , you cannot penalize , or make reasonable business decisions about a unit , because of their 1 - week rovar or sharpe . ( 2 ) significant trading activity at ene is composed of long - term strategic trades ( seasonal plays with durations of over 6 months , perhaps ) , wherein desk heads and senior management have an intuitive feeling for their rovar ( over 6 months ) . a 1 - week or 4 - week " interim " number in this case is not useful . traders might purposefully want to make a certain 1 - week or 4 - week rovar low in their trading activity if they believe their 6 - month number can be high . in such a case , a 1 - week number might send dangerous messages to senior management . ( 3 ) conceptually , p & l and var , in isolation , are numbers which are sound and rigourously calculated . the ratio , however , one has to be careful about . the numerator ( cumulative p & l over a certain period ) can be aggregated by simple arithmetic summation , no problems . however , the denominator ( average daily var over a certain period ) relies on the underlying assumption that each point in your time series is independent and correlationless . to get a sufficient statistic for the denominator , one would have to take a large sample in your series ( 6 months or more ) , for a daily average var number to be meaningful , statistically . ( 4 ) the rac group has instituted similar metrics which have been in usage for over two years . the numbers are shown to the b . o . d with the express intent of comaring business unit performance on a 6 - month or yearly tenor . please contact matthew adams ( rac ) or myself to make sure that we are on the same footing regarding the actual calculation of such metrics . also , in the future , just to be consistent and on - the - same - page , please contact me or mr . adams if any risk - related numbers are to be showcased in a public forum . ( 5 ) finally , as you can probably corroborate , senior management might not be fully versed on the nuances of var , let alone 1 - week var ratios . therefore , one has to be wary of the misuse of ratios and risk metrics . i liked your presentation of your database on tuesday . i think it is a nice step in aggregating and dissecting p & l from disparate sources . best regards naveen

enron update following our announcement of an additional of $ 1 billion credit line , standard & poor ' s ( s & p ) today downgraded enron ' s long - term credit rating one notch from bbb + to bbb and short - term rating from a 2 to a 3 . we expected this , because it is not unusual to be downgraded after using assets to secure credit . this is still above investment grade . the ratings of our pipelines northern natural gas and transwestern have also been lowered from a - to bbb . in s & p ' s words , " their ratings [ are now ] in line with those of the parent company to reflect s & p ' s view that enron ' s pipeline assets have become more strategic to the company . " s & p also said , " [ we continue ] to believe that enron ' s liquidity position is adequate to see the company through the current period of uncertainty , and that the company is working to provide itself with an even greater liquidity cushion through additional bank lines and pending asset sales . " as i ' ve said before , building on our liquidity position through additional credit lines maintains our counterparties ' confidence and strengthens our core businesses . it ' s important for you to know that our gas and power numbers - which account for more than 95 percent of our trading activity - indicate that our customer base is not withdrawing , closing out positions , or reducing transaction levels as a result of credit concerns . in fact , enrononline trading volumes are currently experiencing above - normal activity . we will continue to update you as new developments arise . thank you .

CNET Virus & Security Newsletter		Â Â
July 17, 2002
						--Robert VamosiSenior Associate EditorCNET Software and Internet Services
Â Dear Readers,
So far, 2002 has been a year marked with variations on earlier
worms. If you update your antivirus software on a regular basis,
these new versions of Frethem and Yaha shouldn't be a nuisance.
But if you haven't updated in a while, these variants--plus the
continuing threat of Klez.h--should motivate you. In security
news, a flaw in certain versions of PGP encryption could affect
Outlook users. Read on to learn whether you're vulnerable.

						Â
Frethem.k worm wants to give you a password
 An e-mail message that promises to reveal secret information with
a password is yet another variant from the pesky Frethem worm
family. Frethem.k, technically known as w32.frethem.k@mm, also
called Frethem.l by some vendors, uses its own SMTP engine to
send e-mail using addresses obtained from infected systems. This
worm does not carry a destructive payload. Mac and Linux users
are not affected.Yaha.e screensaver worm spreading
 The Yaha.e mass-mailing worm masquerades as a friendly
screensaver, proving that users worldwide are still opening
attached files from total strangers. Yaha.e (w32.yaha.e@mm, also
known as Lentin.e, Yaha.f, and Yaha.g) is a successful variant of
a worm first seen around Valentine's Day this year. Thankfully,
this worm does not affect Mac, Linux, or Unix users.
Leaky PGP Outlook plug-in
PGP 7.03 and 7.04, widely used plug-ins for Microsoft's Outlook
e-mail client, inadvertently weakens security and leaves the mail
program open to attack. Fortunately, there is a patch available.

choice I've found) but I grant you that: No language is the be-all and
end-all.I envy some of those posting to this list.  I've been in business for
24 years and I haven't yet had the luxury of writing every line of
code for any project. We are always coerced by budgets and time to
maximize the amount of work done elsewhere.  As much as I hate dealing with someone else's blackbox, as much as
I've spent sleepless nights second-guessing external libs, I've never
ever had the luxury to do otherwise. It must be wonderful to be
responsible for something you are actually responsible for, and I am
so sick of being blamed for other people's design mistakes.Maybe there's an archive somewhere I need to know about, but I've been
using C since DrDobbs first published SmallC and yet I've never found
any decent LGPL libs cataloged in such a way that I can just type in
the task and get back an API.  Because of Javadoc, which is by no
means perfect, Java provides me the second best catalog of 3rd-party
libs, second only to Perl's CPAN -- Perl is one language I also really
hate with a passion, yet end up using the most for exactly this reason.For example, take the recent CBC Olympics site: I needed to roll
together a telnet client with a tokenizer, perl-regex preprocessing a
stream to produce parseable XML, project that XML into relational
databases using only the DTD to generate the rdbms schema, and open an
XMLRPC interface to read and post items into the news stream.  Where
can I find C libs for those components?  On the webserver, we then needed a multithreaded read-only http socket
which can spawn persistent data-caching servlets that periodically
refresh themselves over socket connections to the relational database,
presenting the retreived values through XSLT-defined transforms, and
again, where can I find such stuff for C ... or for any other langauge
but Java?  Wombat (servlet spec for Perl) was inviting, but it's not
ready for prime-time, and re-inventing that entire shopping list in C
is just not feasible for one programmer to do inside of 8 weeks.When you need C libs, or even C++ libs, where's the best place to shop?
Where do you find standards-based portable RDBMS API? (ODBC?) How do
you evaluate these things without actually fetching every one and
trying it out?In a perfect universe, I'd use Ocaml or even Ruby, but I don't see the
social infrastructure for either happening during my professional
lifetime.    R> Why do so many people outside of Sun's marketing department

review of disposed assets for residual value and / or potential exposure louise : attached is an excel file which lists the results of our search for residual assets or old assets with potential exposure . most of the assets on this list are currently being monitored by special assets or energy capital resources . we included these assets on the list because they have not been very visible and we wanted to make sure that you were aware of their existence . however , also included on the list are 3 to 4 transactions similar to midwest gas storage in that it appears that they have not been on anyone ' s radar screen . the scope of our review did not include any former enron international assets now managed by wholesale through the global assets group . our list is divided into 3 parts : 1 ) retained assets , 2 ) bankruptcy / guarantor claims , 3 ) transactions requiring legal documentation / closure . the bankruptcy / guarantor list is not an all inclusive list of bankruptcies for wholesale but includes those merchant portfolio bankruptcies with a low probability of recovery which are , of course , not a high priority for legal . we just want to make sure they don ' t completely disappear from our scrutiny . you will also note that there are a couple of assets that require further review and we will advise you when we make a final determination . finally , we will take steps to include these assets in future portfolio reporting so that they can be closely monitored . many thanks to dick lydecker ' s group and legal for their assistance to rac in reviewing numerous disposed assets that resulted in this list . please call if you have questions . regards ! rick c .

It is actually a lot worse than this.  What it boils down to is that
only the privileged class is really allowed to start a serious company.
What I found fascinating is that the old French aristocracy effectively
still exists (literally the same families), but they now hold top
executive and management positions in the major French firms and the
government, positions which are only passed on to other blue bloods. Not
officially of course, but as a strict matter of practice.  And the laws
and legal structures make sure that this system stays firmly in place.
Even for a young French blue blood, strict age hierarchies keep them
from branching out into a new venture in their own country (though many
can leverage this to start companies in OTHER countries).  I know about
the French system first-hand and the executives are quite candid about
it (at least to Yanks like me who are working with them), but I suspect
this may hold true for other European countries as well.  After all those "revolutions", France is still nothing more than a
thinly veiled old-school aristocracy, with all the trappings.-James Rogers
