The Energy Risk Glossary, now in its eighth edition, provides an at-a-glance explanation of the myriad specialised terms and acronyms used in energy trading and risk management.
This year, the guide has been updated by Aviv Handler of ETR Advisory. Energy Risk would like to thank him for his input into this edition, which benefits greatly from his valuable experience and insight into energy markets.
The fast-changing nature of these markets means much has changed since our last edition – almost 200 new entries and revisions have been made this year. Reflecting the increasing importance of regulation, definitions of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFid) and the Ljubljana-based Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (Acer) make it into the glossary for the first time. A focus on improving back-office infrastructure and mitigating counterparty risk is also apparent from the inclusion of terms such as 'portfolio reconciliation' and 'portfolio compression'.
The glossary is extensively cross-referenced, making for easy and thorough searches. We hope you find it useful.

Jean-Eric Vergne completed his first best qualifying position of the season, his first back-to-back points finish and his best finish of the year in Canada, yet the Toro Rosso driver is striving for more.
After securing an eighth-place finish in Monaco a fortnight ago, the Frenchman qualified seventh in Montreal and then claimed sixth spot on Sunday.
The eight points helped him to move ahead of his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo in the standings, but Vergne is hoping there is more to come in the next few races.
"Sixth is really good result, but I already forget it and I concentrate on the next race," he told BBC Sport.
"I don't have to be satisfied with sixth, we always want better and I want to do better for the next races and that's why we have to keep working."

A meeting was held in Troy to discuss improving relations between the police department and the community. It's the second meeting of its kind held in the city recently. Innae Park has more.
TROY, N.Y. -- It was a markedly different tone. At the second community meeting aimed to better the relationship between the Troy Police Dept and their public, Pastor Willie Bacote refused to mince words.
Bacote said, "Nobody wants to talk about it, nobody wants to say the 'r' word."
Racism. The pastor of Missing Link AME Zion Church says it exists, specifically among a few city officers.
"Some of the Troy police officers, not all of them, are using these epitomes and names and the 'n' word to address some of the citizens in North Central Troy," Bacote said. "Call an apple an apple and call a racist a racist, and face what we need to deal with."
Accompanying the forceful message, a promise to work on change.
Deputy Chief Buddy McAvoy said, "We have systems in place that will throw red flags to identify, if there are, rogue officers."
Khaleed Pascal has filed a complaint after he was arrested for a fight. He says he's now trying to look beyond and try to improve the future.
"I know they have a hard job. They see stuff we don't see," Pascal said. "We can make a difference."
Others are stepping alongside him in that quest.
"Trust is something developed over a course of time," McAvoy said.
"One step at a time, one individual at a time," said Pascal.
The city has opened up the opportunity for citizens to get involved through the Police Objective Review Committee. Members of this committee will review the police department's investigations and make recommendations, among other responsibilities. The applications were released Friday. They can be found online at www.troyny.gov or at the mayor's office.
The Mayor has also proposed creating the position of public safety commissioner to allow for greater oversight of the police department.

But, Catholic schools should be held to a higher standard and too many have fallen for the lie that they must give into the ideas of our world to be consider a "good" school.
Many of the questionable classes are in the Colleges of Liberal Arts, especially the philosophy, theology, or religious studies departments - what a shame. There are classes which cover radical feminism, "gay studies", liberation theology, etc. I haven't included most of these classes, because the list would go on forever. Here is just a sampling of what you could call the modern-day underwater basket-weaving classes found in the Colleges of liberal arts...

Jets finally find clear skies
Hockey gods see fit to give local shinny side a few breaks
Just when it seemed like the hockey gods really had it in for the Winnipeg Jets -- and we're talking storm clouds gathering for a nasty window-rattling shaker -- the skies cleared and a teeny-tiny bit of sun shone down on the local shinny side.
Yes, in a game in which the Jets fell behind 3-1 and were shaken by the scene of promising young defenceman Jacob Trouba taken from the ice on a stretcher, they somehow found another gear for a late rally and, ultimately, a thrilling 4-3 shootout victory over Stanley Cup contender St. Louis Blues.
As a result, the emotion at the MTS Centre was all over the charts, spiking and dipping with some dramatic highs and lows. The win stops an ugly run that had seen the Jets lose four of their last five after opening the season 2-0 and improves their record to 4-4.
It also started an important run of six of seven games against Central Division opponents with a bang.
"It was a good win against a good team," said Jets centre Bryan Little. "Hopefully that gives us some confidence, and that's been lacking lately, that confidence in our game. We've got to believe we can beat teams like this on a nightly basis. This is a great game for us to come back and win.
"There's some things that didn't exactly go our way -- a couple of mistakes and the puck was in our net. But, overall, I thought we showed a lot of character coming back like that. It shows our commitment to winning."
Trouba, who has been such a shining light to start the season, was taken from the ice on a stretcher early in the second period after crashing into the end boards while trying to hit Blues' forward Jordan Leopold behind the St. Louis net. The building was eerily quiet for several minutes while the 19-year-old defenceman was placed onto a spinal board, then erupted when he gave the thumbs-up as he was taken from the ice.
The Jets said Trouba was taken to the hospital for X-rays and was alert, communicating and moving all his limbs.
"Something like this, it seems like you see it almost every day," said Jets' goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. "It was no fun at all. It was tough to focus, but we handled it pretty well. We knew pretty much right away that it wasn't going to be something serious and he was going to be fine. That's great news."
"Trouba is still getting evaluated, but he's good," said head coach Claude Noel. "He's just getting tested, but I think everything's fine."
The Jets finished the game with just four defenceman -- Zach Bogosian, Grant Clitsome, Toby Enstrom and the game's first star, Dustin Byfuglien -- as Mark Stuart also exited with an undisclosed injury.
The Jets have been blathering on ad nauseum all week about the importance of posting a solid opening period. And while there were stretches in the first 20 minutes where the home side had some oomph, the first period stats were revealing: Not only were they down 2-1 after two horrible miscues by Clitsome and Trouba that led to goals by David Backes and Alex Steen, they were guilty of six turnovers to the Blues' one, were losing in the faceoff circle and had been outshot 11-9.
Claude Noel rattled some cages, sending Devin Setoguchi, Eric Tangradi and Paul Postma to the press box to give Clitsome, Anthony Peluso and Patrice Cormier a look, and then benched Evander Kane for about 10 minutes in the second after he had taken three minor penalties.
The Jets were down 3-1 with less than seven minutes left when Kane pulled the club to within one with his fourth goal of the season. And with just 1:54 left, Enstrom tied it with a blast for his first marker of the year.
The shootout included seven rounds and featured 14 shooters, with Andrew Ladd, Little and Olli Jokinen scoring for the Jets while Pavelec stopped the last five shooters he faced.
"It feels good to win a game like that," said Bogosian. "We battled hard. They're a good team that plays a really solid team game, and I thought we matched their intensity well and we were a lot more physical than in previous games."

NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
On October 8, before 700 delegates to the National High School Leadership Summit, Secretary Paige unveiled a package of projects to help promote educational excellence in secondary education. "Many of our high schools are the finest in the world," he said. "But the number of children who leave our educational system unprepared is staggering. By the time they reach twelfth-grade, only one in six African-Americans and one in five Hispanics can read proficiently. Math scores are even worse.... We are facing an unrecognized educational crisis in this country." The package includes:
- A leadership initiative for high schools, called "Preparing America's Future," aimed at building "the next generation of high schools" by working with parents, teachers, education policymakers, elected officials, and foundations. (The Secretary warned delegates that structural reforms, like block scheduling, often "minimize or overlook the need for improving the quality of instruction.") A series of regional summits on high school improvement will be held across the country.
- $11 million in grants for promising activities in grades 6-12 to increase the number of low-income students who are ready to succeed in advanced courses.
- $2.4 million in grants to expand the State Scholars Initiative, a business-led effort to increase the percentage of students completing a defined set of rigorous courses so that they are better prepared for higher education and the workforce.
- A comprehensive web tool (http://studentaid.ed.gov/) to guide parents and students through the college application and financial aid process.
pi/hsinit/. (Paige's remarks are available at http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2003/10/10082003.html.)
Looking for No Child Left Behind policy guidance, such as the 43-page teacher quality document released in September? http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/list.jhtml lists all guidance, starting with the most recent.
Last week, the Secretary named 19 more schools in nine states as No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools. The schools were not among the initial list of winners (announced September 17) because the Department was waiting for state information on adequate yearly progress. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10022003.html.
Return to UNESCO
After a 19-year absence, the United States formally rejoined the United Nations' Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). First Lady Laura Bush and Secretary Paige led the American delegation. In her keynote address, Bush called for the body's resources to be devoted to four vital areas: literacy and primary education; education in tolerance; post-conflict schooling; and HIV/AIDS awareness. "I challenge all of us to work together," she said, "to make this a decade of literacy and a century of liberty. Literacy and liberty are natural allies." Addressing the UNESCO Roundtable of Ministers on Quality Education, the Secretary emphasized similarities between No Child Left Behind and Education for All, the body's commitment to quality education for all by 2015. "Education is the common denominator of all people, the road to emancipation and liberty, the way we find our humanity and discover our soul," he explained. "This mission unites us."

Crisis Planning
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (October 21, 8:00-9:00 ET) will feature interviews and discussions with Department officials, school safety personnel, mental health professionals, community first responders, and activist parents on preparing schools and school districts to handle emergencies. Throughout, the show will highlight schools and communities that have created model crisis plans, offer "lessons learned" from officials that have faced crises in their schools, and recommend tools and resources for crisis planning and emergency response.

End-of-Year Grants
The close of the previous fiscal year (September 30) corresponded with several new grant awards. For example, on September 29, the Department awarded eight districts with nearly $3 million in Character Education Grants (http://www.ed.gov/news/
pressreleases/2003/09/09292003.html). A day later, Director of Indian Education Vicki Vasques announced nearly $105 million in grants (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/09/09302003b.html) to 1,200 districts, serving 470,000 Indian students. On October 1, the Department's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools announced funding under four programs, including the Carol M. White Physical Education Program and the Emergency Response and Crisis Management Plans Discretionary Grants Program (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osdfs/news.html). Moreover, the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence received a five-year, $35 million grant for the first national alternative route to teacher certification (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10012003.html).
Meanwhile, in the last two weeks, four more states have received Reading First grants (http://www.ed.gov/programs/readingfirst/awards.html?exp=0) and Early Reading First awards were announced for two Massachusetts projects (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10032003.html) and a Milwaukee literacy program (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10062003.html). How about something new? The National Science Foundation has issued a solicitation for the 2004 Math and Science Partnership Program (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2003/nsf03605/nsf03605.htm).
College Costs
A new National Center for Education Statistics report, "Getting Ready to Pay for College," found that while the vast majority of students and parents report plans for higher education, they are generally unable to estimate accurately the cost of tuition. When they do estimate, they tend to overestimate. In 1998-99, the average yearly in-state undergraduate tuition at public four-year colleges was $3,200. Yet students and parents estimated tuition at between $5,400 and $5,800. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2003030. (To watch a webcast on college costs, demonstrating the Student Aid on the Web tool cited above, see http://www.connectlive.com/events/deptedu/.)
From the Interagency Staff...
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Veterans Day celebration. Schools are encouraged to invite veterans into their classrooms in the days leading up to and following Veterans Day (November 11); veterans are asked to share their experiences and teach students lessons about the history and significance of Veterans Day, helping students reflect upon the importance of the ideals of liberty, democracy, and freedom. To assist teachers, the Department of Veterans Affairs developed a resource guide (http://www.appc1.va.gov/vetsday/docs/Vetkit03.pdf), chronicling the day's history, suggesting activities, and summarizing U.S. war statistics. For more information, please go to http://www.va.gov/vetsday/.
Quote to Note
"UNESCO, an institution born [in 1945] of a yearning for peace that survived years of war, can now help achieve peace by spreading the values that help defeat terror and lead to a better and safer world: education, tolerance, respect for all human life, and respect for each other's differences. These are our common dreams for our children, and these are the charge of UNESCO. Now more than ever, the nations of the world, the peoples of the world, must affirm the purpose of this organization: to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law, and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language, or religion. Important work, and it's our work...."
First Lady Laura Bush (9/29/03)

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jonathan Winters was a crowd all by himself, guaranteeing that his multitude of characters, breakneck improvisations and kinetic clownishness kept generations of fans laughing.
Winters, who died Thursday at age 87 at his Montecito, Calif., home, was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy. Facial contortions, sound effects, tall tales -- all could be summoned in a matter of seconds to get a laugh.
On Jack Paar's television show in 1964, Winters was handed a foot-long stick and he swiftly became a fisherman, violinist, lion tamer, canoeist, U.N. diplomat, bullfighter, flutist, delusional psychiatric patient, British headmaster and Bing Crosby's golf club.
It was a typically hilarious display, and, as usual, only limited time could call a halt to his inventiveness.
Winters could leap decades in a split second, flashing from a cooing baby to a cranky old codger in the blink of an eye.
Can you picture what a dog is thinking when it spies its master naked in the shower? Winters could, and did for all to see, molding his face into a pooch's naughty, mocking grin.
"As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things," Winters told U.S. News & World Report in 1988. "I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight."
The humor most often was based in reality -- his characters Maude Frickert and Elwood P. Suggins, for example, were based on people Winters knew growing up in Ohio.
Robin Williams and Jim Carrey are his best-known followers. But he was a devotee of Groucho Marx and Laurel and Hardy whose free-for-all brand of humor inspired Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Tracey Ullman and Lily Tomlin, among many others.
Carson in particular lifted Winters' Maude Frickert character almost intact for the long-running Aunt Blabby character he portrayed on "The Tonight Show."
It was Williams, meanwhile, who helped introduce Winters to millions of new fans in 1981 as the son of Williams' goofball alien and his earthling wife in the final season of ABC's "Mork and Mindy."
The two often strayed from the script. Said Williams: "The best stuff was before the cameras were on, when he was open and free to create. ... Jonathan would just blow the doors off."
Williams paid tribute to Winters on his Twitter page Friday.
"First he was my idol, then he was my mentor and amazing friend," he wrote. "I'll miss him huge. He was my Comedy Buddha. Long live the Buddha."
Winters' only Emmy was for best-supporting actor for playing Randy Quaid's father in the sitcom "Davis Rules" (1991). He was nominated again in 2003 as outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for an appearance on "Life With Bonnie."
He also won two Grammys: One for his work on "The Little Prince" album in 1975 another for his "Crank Calls" comedy album in 1996. He also won the Kennedy Center's second Mark Twain Prize for Humor in 1999, a year after Richard Pryor.
Winters was sought out in later years for his changeling voice and he contributed to numerous cartoons and animated films. Fittingly, he played three characters in the "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" movie in 2000.
The Internet Movie Database website credits him as the voice of Papa in the forthcoming "The Smurfs 2" film. He continued to work almost to the end of his life, and to influence new generations of comics.
"These voices are always screaming to get out," he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that year. "They follow me around pretty much all day and night."
Winters had made television history in 1956, when RCA broadcast the first public demonstration of color videotape on "The Jonathan Winters Show."
The comedian quickly realized the possibilities, author David Hajdu wrote in The New York Times in 2006. He soon used video technology "to appear as two characters, bantering back and forth, seemingly in the studio at the same time. You could say he invented the video stunt."
Winters was born Nov. 11, 1925, in Dayton, Ohio. Growing up during the Depression as an only child whose parents divorced when he was 7, Winters spent a lot of time entertaining himself.
Winters, who himself battled alcoholism in his earlier years, described his father as an alcoholic. But he found a comedic mentor in his mother, radio personality Alice Bahman.
