Stay is in effect until August 18, at 5pm. At which point marriages will resume, although the 9th Circuit could step in and issue their own stay and various weird appeals by groups who may or may not have standing may be in play.

Situation: good, but chaotic.

That's the AP wire headline, hence it's appearance in many places. The SF Chronicle had the better constructed headline Judge lifts stay, but same-sex marriages still on hold which at least makes you read the article to decipher the details.
