that the tech giant will start manufacturing a few of his products here
in the States. "We’ve been working for years on doing more and more in
the United States," he said. But don't expect a deluge of jobs, because

Like Washington State, Maryland has started distributing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. "I started tearing up when I saw the marriage license; all of a sudden, it's right there in front of you," 34-year old Alli Harper, who plans to marry girlfriend Jennifer Monti, told the Herald Mail.
