Microsoft Star Trek Translator Not Far Off---Microsoft: Star Trek's universal translator not that far off: Microsoft may have co-opted Star Trek a full century early by demonstrating an honest-to-goodness universal translator — one that not only renders what you’re saying into another language in real time, but that manages to sound like you while doing so.
In fact, assuming everything really is as it appears in the video above, Microsoft just pulled off something pretty amazing — much more impactful, in theory anyway, than a mere voice recognition app like Apple’s Siri.

Marijuana Legalization 2012, For medical cannabis patients, the Legalize 2012 Constitutional Amendment is an important step in fixing Amendment 20, Colorado's flawed medical marijuana law that was passed by voters in 2000. Amendment 20 was poorly-written by out-of-state interests and has allowed the state to take over the medical marijuana program to the point where there is now a new branch of law enforcement dedicated to fingerprinting and videotaping patients and tracking every gram of cannabis from "seed to sale."
Citizens can write a better initiative that will allow all adult Coloradans to have safe access to cannabis, thus protecting the rights of sick people to also have unfettered, safe access. This includes the right to use cannabis on probation.

New York Gas Rationing, City and Long Island are following in New Jersey’s footsteps in instituting an odd-even gas rationing system.In an effort to ease long lines associated with the the fuel crunch taking place in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a rationing system will go into effect on Friday.Beginning at 6 a.m., those with license plates ending in an odd number will be able to buy gas on odd numbered days.
Those with license plates ending in an even number will be able to buy gas on even numbered days.
“Last week’s storm hit the fuel network hard – and knocked out critical infrastructure needed to distribute gasoline,” said Bloomberg. “Even as the region’s petroleum infrastructure slowly returns to normal, the gasoline supply remains a real problem for thousands of New York drivers. Earlier today, I signed an emergency order to alternate the days that drivers can purchase gas, which is the best way to cut down the lines and help customers buy gas faster.”

Lee Macphail Dies, gentle and distinguished member of one of baseball's foremost families, a widely respected man with palpable wisdom, integrity and prudence, has died. Lee MacPhail, soft-spoken, steadfast, and above all, reasonable, was the primary representative of the second generation of a family that has served the game since the 1930s and remains involved. He died Thursday at age 95 in Delray Beach, Fla., his home in recent years.
MacPhail was baseball's King Solomon; he understood the greater good of the game and worked for it. Neither conservative nor liberal in his baseball politics, he helped usher in the designated-hitter rule, presided over the expansion of the American League, was the integral force in the settlement of the protracted players' strike in 1981 and used his considerable influence to bring Interleague Play to the fore.

Syrian Refugee Escalates Sharply---The United Nations reported that 11,000 Syrians fled to neighboring countries on Friday, the vast majority clambering for safety over the Turkish border, in one of the largest single-day torrents of refugees since the Syrian conflict began. It came as mayhem and deprivations were worsening inside the country, its president more determined than ever to stay and his fractious enemies still politically paralyzed United Nations refugee agency officials said 9,000 of the fleeing Syrians, many of them drenched from a cold rain, went to Turkey.
The flow alarmed Turkish officials and led their prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to vent bitterly at the five permanent members of the Security Council for what he called their failure to respond decisively to the crisis after nearly 20 months.

Mike Brown Fired, Cavs coach Mike Brown is about to be fired, according to Sports Illustrated. Mike Brown will be fired if we believe two league sources that have talked to SI.com today. Mike Brown helped lead theCleveland Cavaliers to the best record in the NBA this season, but a second round playoff loss against the Boston Celtics has apparently soured management on having Brown at the helm.
This was supposed to be the year that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA championship, but instead they lost two crucial playoff games on their home court and were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs on Thursday night. Brown just didn't live up to the expectations that the team set for him.

Such traditional “labor to neighbor” campaigns are nothing new. But the walks look different this year: While in the past canvassers visited only union households, this election they’re knocking on every door.
As the unionized share of workers has dropped, the labor movement has tried to retain its political influence by ramping up efforts to contact members, often personally, to urge them to vote.
