QUESTION: 1) They won't shut up. They have to go on about spirit, and old army, and r= ed ass, and how bonfire represents the burning sensation they have in their= urine to beat UT, and blah blah blah. Shut up. You start to get the feelin= g the entire school was built to spite UT.=20 2) Forget the fact that when the Texas Legislature back in the 1870's passe= d legislation to start a state university they also decided to have a subsi= diary branch of the main school (University of Texas) that would teach agri= culture and mechanics. Aggies love to say their school is older, from where= they get that I don't now......the fact is, the State intended A&M to be a= branch of UT. They are like the afterbirth from the original creation. Lik= e Danny Devito in "Twins".=20 3) So they apparently have this complex, so much so, that they must devote = their entire school to trying to prove to UT that they are just as good. Al= l the while, nobody at UT denies that A&M is a good school, yet they won't = shut up. So they write a fight song......about?....Texas, and how they want= to beat them. They have a Fish Camp for freshman where they tell them how = bad Texas is and how good A&M and all its traditions are. It is the world's= largest known case of penis envy, and it is manifested in everything A&M d= oes.=20 4) The people at A&M. Now we all have friends who went to A&M or are at A&M= . There are some nice people there. However...there is the Corp. East Texas= ' answer to dreams of ROTC kids everywhere. For every boy scout who never l= earned to stop playing with his GI Joe Toys, there is the Corp. Now, forget= the fact that A&M will actually let people with sub-par grades enroll if t= hey agree to join the Corp. Forget the fact that the Corps looked like a Ge= stapo hate rally while beating down students on Kyle Field in 1995. Forget = the fact that along with the numerous hazing charges that have been filed a= gainst them, and swept under the rug over the years, they just this past mo= nth have had one Corps member bring charges against another Corps member wh= o apparently had been propositioning others for a little actual sodomy. Not= only could I go on with more instances of idiocracy by these Khaki-clad-sh= aven-headed-dorks, I am sure each of you have your own stories. The point i= s: We all respect West Point, Annapolis, The Air Force Academy; however, no= body respects the Corp. I imagine they are kind of the laughing stock of th= e military world. Just because you dress like the Army, and try and act lik= e the Army, does not make you the Army. People at A&M don't even respect th= ese clowns. It is not cool to shave your head and dress up. Halloween is on= ly supposed to be one day of the year. If you want to carry guns and beat u= p civilians, move to Israel.=20 5) It is even less cool to slobber on somebody's daughter on national telev= ision and call it a tradition. Dry humping 18 year old girls in the stands = at football games is not cool. Not only is it not cool, it should be agains= t the law. I know that in College Station, students are just prone to mount= each other on the campus lawn, or in the middle of class, or anytime anyth= ing good happens you can just grab the girl sitting next to you and start s= ucking on her face. But everywhere else in the world, it is looked down upo= n. Especially if you are doing it on my TV. That is why we have moved the g= ame from Thanksgiving. Because people across the nation were gagging on the= ir turkey when in the middle of watching a football game, some boy scout is= tongue thrashing some overweight co-ed during somebody's Thanksgiving dinn=

Here is an email: Reviewed by Mark Williams, SVP Risk Management, Citizens Power The long awaited second edition of Managing Energy Price Risk has finally arrived. It has been four years since the first edition was published. During this hiatus, a lot has happened as risk management within the rapidly expanding energy industry has come of age as a respected discipline. The second edition is a rich compilation of papers by a surprisingly representative group of industry leaders, practitioners and academics. The books strength is that it reinforces the fact that risk management principles initially applied to a narrow band of energy commodities can and should be applied across a wide array of energy commodities including electricity. As expected the book does a solid job in capturing an international perspective on the various challenges, which are not isolated to any one continent but are global in scope. It includes a lengthy introduction that effectively frames risk management progress, advancements and innovations that started in the oil markets in the 1970's and migrated to the natural gas and most recently expanding to the electricity industry. Managing Energy Price Risk is comprised of 15 chapters, all of which include an introduction, which minimises the disjointedness that you may expect from a book written by a large number of authors. Other improvements in this second edition include expanded graphics, highlighted panels, detailed appendices and a separate glossary, which provides the reader with additional reference material. In particular the chapter on energy options written by Michael Hampton is a useful primer and provides the reader with a concise explanation of option theory, pricing, basis risk, delta hedging as well as practical guidelines for distinguishing between hedging and pure speculation. For the more advanced reader, the chapter on Energy Exotic Options, written by Vince Kaminski, Stinson Gibner and Krishnarao Pinnamaneni is particularly strong as it outlines the challenges associated with the exotics and effectively documents the latest methods used by leading practitioners in pricing such instruments. Additionally, the chapter on Accounting for Derivative Contracts in the Energy Environment by three consultants from Arthur Anderson, is a well written summary which addresses the numerous tax related issues including a timely discussion on the US Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement 133 (see EPRM October 1999, page 22). Having this tax information housed in one concise chapter is of great value. The second edition however is not without flaws. In particular, it would have been useful to have more information on the current challenges risk managers are confronted with in the power industry including latest advancements in volatility and correlation estimation techniques. Additional attention could have also been placed on the shortcomings of the current market structure and methods in finding and applying appropriate hedging strategies and instruments. In the fledgling power market, this continues to be one of the primary challenges. In summary, this second edition of Managing Energy Price Risk builds upon the sentinel work laid out in the prior edition and is a valuable reference book for the new recruit or seasoned veteran. It is a welcome edition to any risk management library.
