The first same-sex marriages have legally been solemnized in New York. --Bob

But until the federal government recognizes these marriages (for tax, retirement, and other purposes), these couples will still be in a form of legal limbo. It's interesting that many of the same "conservatives" who claim the federal government should not interfere with the states through avenues like Obamacare have no trouble allowing the federal government to make its own determination of who can and cannot legally marry.

I actually thought it was this story from earlier in the week, since I instinctively equate "21st Century" with technology.
Bloomberg unveils system that aims to tame Midtown traffic

Mayor Bloomberg unveiled a new, state-of-the-art traffic management system that gives city engineers the ability to manage Midtown Manhattan gridlock from a control room in Queens.

The first-of-it’s-kind anti-traffic system — dubbed "Midtown in Motion" — utilizes more than 100 motion detectors, dozens of cameras and even anonymous location data gleaned from drivers' EZ-Passes to beam real-time info to city Department of Transportation engineers.

Those engineers — sitting in a windowless control room in Long Island City — will then be able to tinker with traffic lights to better move cars through the city.

There's an upcoming episode of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm in which the newly divorced Larry pursues a woman who is also being pursued by Rosie O'Donell for the same woman!
