"Tuesday, 14 December 1999 3:36 (GMT) NEW YORK, Dec. 13 (UPI) - The potential for liability and the scrutiny of government regulators has a major Wall Street research firm convinced there will be no major power outages in North America on New Year's Day . . . Moody's said in an October report it was confident the grid would continue humming on Jan. 1 and reiterated that conclusion Monday with the new year less than two weeks away."

Presidential decree: the year ends on 28th December. Everyone must set their clocks forward to Jan 1st. THAT'LL fix those rollover glitches. ;)
