signs same-sex marriage legislation

State becomes 16th
nationally to pass gay
marriage law
CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois
Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation
Wednesday allowing same-sex
weddings starting this summer,
making President Barack Obama's
home state the 16th overall - and
largest in the nation's heartland
- to legalize gay marriage.
The festivities at the Universi-
ty of Illinois at Chicago featured
a family-friendly crowd, musical
performances and a stage lined
with American, Illinois and rain-
bow flags.
"We understand in our state
that part of our unfinished busi-
ness is to help other states in the
United States of America achieve
marriage equality," Quinn said
before he signed the bill on a desk
once used by President Abraham
Lincoln. He said part of that mis-
sion was to ensure that "love is
not relegated to a second class
status to any citizen in our coun-
try."

Detroit dealers
set to release new
consumer concept
models
DETROIT (AP) - Cars that
run on hydrogen and exhaust
only water vapor are emerging
to challenge electric vehicles
as the world's transportation of
the future.
At auto shows on two conti-
nents Wednesday, three auto-
makers unveiled hydrogen fuel
cell vehicles to be delivered to
the general public as early as
next spring.
Hyundai Motor Co. will be
the first to the mass market in
the U.S. It unveiled a hydrogen-
powered Tucson small SUV
at the Los Angeles Auto Show
that will be leased to consum-
ers. Honda also revealed plans in
Los Angeles for a car due out in
201S. Earlier, at the Tokyo Motor
Show, Toyota promised a mass-
produced fuel cell car by 2015 in
Japan and 2016 in the U.S.
Hydrogen cars are appealing
because unlike electric vehi-
cles, they have the range of a
typical gasoline car and can be
refueled quickly. Experts say
the industry also has overcome
safety and reliability concerns
that have hindered distribution
in the past.
But hydrogen cars still have
a glaring downside - refueling
stations are scarce, and costly
to build.
Consumers can expect costs
in line with some luxury mod-
els. In Tokyo, Toyota promised
a price of $50,000 to $100,000,
and as close to the lower figure
as possible. That's comparable
to its Lexus luxury sedans, but
a range that makes the once
space-age experiment with fuel
cells more credible.
Hyundai said it will lease the
Tucsons for $499 per month for
three years with $3,000 down.
And Hyundai is offering to pay
the hydrogen and maintenance

References to freedom, equal-
ity, fairness and Lincoln - the
desk was where he penned his
1861 inaugural address - were
peppered throughout the event.
In attendance were top elected
officials, including Illinois Attor-
ney General Lisa Madigan and
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Organizers estimated roughly
2,300 attended, including activ-
ists and members of the public.
Illinois, where Democrats lead
both legislative chambers and the
governor's office, legalized civil
unions in 2011, but the road to
same-sex marriage was bumpy.
When 2013 began advocates
hoped Illinois would've been the
10th state, but watched as other
states passed it. Gay marriage is
allowed in Washington D.C., and
15 other states; Hawaii's governor
signed a measure last week.
Even with support from top
business leaders, unions and
some Republicans, several law-
makers were resistant to the idea.
That included some Democrats
in more conservative downstate
Illinois and some Chicago-area
lawmakers.

The measure was fought
hard by some of the state's most
well-recognized religious fig-
ures, including Cardinal Francis
George of theArchdiocese of Chi-
cago and the Rev. James Meeks,
a former state senator who runs
a politically-influential mega
church in Chicago. Meeks was
part of a coalition of black pastors
who said marriage should remain
between a man and woman and
sponsored robocalls in several
legislative districts and on the
airwaves. The opposition placed
black lawmakers in the House
in a spotlight and several evaded
public inquiries on the matter for
months.
Although Illinois once
appeared poised to become the
first Midwestern state to approve
gay marriage in the Legislature,
Minnesota did it sooner and
started holding its first same-sex
weddings over the summer. Iowa
allows gay marriages too because
of a court ruling, not a legislative
vote.
The Illinois Senate approved
the measure on Valentine's Day,
but the bill's main sponsor, Dem-

ocratic state Rep. Greg Harris of
Chicago decided against calling
it for a vote in the House because
he said he didn't have the needed
support. In a tearful speech in
front of his colleagues, he vowed
to bring the measure back.
Proponents then launched
another aggressive campaign
with help from labor, the former
head of the Illinois Republican
Party and the ACLU. They billed
the measure as a matter of civil
rights and equality for fami-
lies. Quinn and House Speaker
Michael Madigan also persuade
lawmakers in the final days.
The measure passed the Illi-
nois House earlier this month by
a narrow margin 61-54; It needed
60 votes to pass. But none of the
opposition or slim margin was
evident Wednesday at the event
where the Chicago Gay Men's
Chorus performed and Lincoln's
desk was lined with patriot bun-
ting.
"We're here to celebrate, fam-
ily, commitment, equality, love,
courage and community," Har-
ris told the crowd to enthusiastic
applause.

costs. The company will start
leasing in the Los Angeles area,
where most of the state's nine
fueling stations are located.
California lawmakers have
allocated $100 million to build
100 more. Honda wouldn't
reveal any pricing details.
Evenas battery-powered and
hybrid-electric cars took on
conventional gasoline models
in the past decade, automakers
continued research into hydro-
gen fuel cells, said Paul Mutolo,
director of external partner-
ships for the Cornell Univer-
sity Energy Materials Center.
Manufacturers now are limited
only by costs and the lack of
fillingstations, he said.
Hydrogen cars, Mutolo
said, have an advantage over
battery-powered electric cars
because drivers don't have to
worry about running out of
electricity and having to wait
hours for recharging. "It's very
similar to the kind of behav-
ior that drivers have come to
expect from their gasoline
cars," he said.
Hydrogen fuel cells use a
complex chemical process to
separate electrons and protons
in hydrogengas molecules. The
electrons move toward a posi-
tive pole, and the movement
creates electricity. That powers
a car's electric motor, which
turns the wheels.
Since the hydrogen isn't
burned, there's no pollution.
Instead, oxygen also is pumped
into the system, and when it
meets the hydrogen ions and
electrons, that creates water
and heat. The only byproduct is
water. A fuel cell produces only
about one volt of electricity, so
many are stacked to generate
enough juice.
Hydrogen costs as little as $3
for an amount needed to power
a car the same distance as a gal-
lon of gasoline, Mutolo said.
Manufacturers likely will
lose money on hydrogen cars at
first, but costs will decrease as
precious metals are reduced in
the fuel cells, Mutolo said.

DNA evidence links
single suspect to
Monday's attack
PARIS (AP) - After a two-day
nationwide manhunt, French
police arrested a man Wednes-
day night suspected of shooting
a newspaper assistant photogra-
pher and three other attacks.
The motive for the attacks
remains unclear.
Interior Minister Manuel
Valls identified the suspect as
Abdelhakim Dekhar, convicted
in 1998 as an accomplice in a
high-profile 1994 robbery and
car chase that left three police
officers and a taxi driver dead.
Dekhar served four years in
prison in the so-called Rey-
Maupin affair but authorities
had no trace of him in recent
years, Valls said.
Based on DNA data, authori-
ties believe he was the lone
gunman behind Monday's
shooting at the prominent
daily newspaper Liberation,
a shooting outside French
bank Societe Generale, a brief
hostage-taking in which the
suspect hijacked a car, and a
similar shooting incident three
days before at news network
BFM-TV.
The shooting prompted cries
of concern about attacks on the
media. Security was tightened
at media offices and on the busy
Champs-Elysees shopping ave-
nue.
Dekhar apparently tried
to kill himself before he was
arrested Wednesday, Valls told
reporters early Thursday.
Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a
spokeswoman for the French
prosecutor's office, said the
suspect was arrested in an
underground parking lot in
Bois-Colombes, 10 kilometers

(6 miles) north of Paris. She and
police union official Christophe
Crepin said the man appeared
heavily medicated when he was
detained.
"My colleagues noticed
he was not very lucid. They
deduced that he had taken
medicines, because of the cap-
sules nearby. They called the
ambulance, which brought
him to the hospital. There he
is incarcerated but in a medical
environment," Crepin told The
Associated Press.
Dekhar was found after a
witness reported to police that
a suspect resembling images
broadcast on national televi-
sion since Monday had stayed
at his house in recent days,
said Paris judicial police chief
Christian Flaesch.
Authorities had released
video footage and photos of
the shooter, who was wielding
a pump-action shotgun in the
attacks on Liberation and BFM.
The gunman entered the
lobby of Liberation around
10 a.m. Monday and opened
fire. A 23-year-old photogra-
pher, who works at the paper
as a freelance assistant, was in
intensive care after being shot
near the heart and in the arm.
Valls said he visited the pho-
tographer Wednesday and he's
"doing better."
Soon after the shooting at
Liberation, three shots were
fired in front of the head-
quarters of the bank Societe
Generale in the Paris suburb of I
La Defense. No one was hurt.
Less than an hour later, a
man called police to say he had
been taken hostage by a gun-
man in the town of Puteaux,
next door to La Defense. Police
said the gunman forced his
hostage to drive six kilometers
(3 1/2 miles) back toward cen-
tral Paris, then let him go on
the Champs-Elysees.
