Food sale allowed for live animals in San Francisco Chinatown
A California Superior Court judge ruled that live turtles frogs and fish can remain sold as food in Chinatown markets. Activists argued the markets cruelly confine and kill animals, while merchants cited traditional practices and demand for fresh meat.

Senate defeats gun safety measure in Washington
The Senate rejected Durbin's proposal to make insecure gun storage a federal misdemeanor when a child uses a gun in a crime. The 69 to 31 vote blocks the measure amid GOP opposition that it wouldn't prevent school violence and could prosecute safe-locked owners. Meanwhile NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter faced a two year extension glitch as a three-computer network failed during Europa flyby data loss. Engineers expect normal operations to resume next week and replay data.
