Dairies Cut Off Power Deals Amid California Load Woes
Rockview Dairies in Downey faced costly outages under California interruptible power contracts as the Public Utilities Commission seeks to reshuffle rules. About 1,000 businesses saved during calm periods but paid in shortages with four hour shut downs and higher later rates. Rockview bought an emergency generator to stay powered while weighing ongoing risk against prior savings.

Norris aims to cut Baltimore homicide rate through targeted policing
Baltimore Police Commissioner Edward T. Norris, backed by Mayor Martin O'Malley, concentrates officers in the violent Eastern District and forms a fugitive task force with Maryland State Police to tackle murder. He argues a small core of offenders drives most violence while noting budget pressures and civil rights concerns. Since his tenure, Baltimore’s homicide count fell to 262 in 2000.

Convicted jeweler harassing enemies from prison
A Florida jeweler who defrauded names including golfer Jack Nicklaus is in federal prison and allied with a right wing extremist to file bogus motions and liens in Circuit Court against retired Detroit developer Aben Johnson and his attorneys. The tactic mirrors LeRoy Schweitzer and the Montana Freeman scheme that used fake liens to harass targets and seize funds. Authorities say Hasson’s motions fail to impress court officials. Schweitzer signed Hasson’s documents as a witness identifying as Chief Justice of a bogus Montana court.
