This Week’s Killer Heat Wave Threatens To Cause Earth’s Hottest Temps Ever
By April M. Short
If you’re spending this week in California, Nevada, Arizona, or even parts of Wyoming and Idaho, prepare to burn. A potentially historic heat wave is headed your way from Thursday through next week, and experts warn of dangerously hot temperatures the likes of which may never before have been recorded on planet Earth.
Meteorologists say areas already dubbed “summer scorchers” are about to get hotter still. Death Valley, Calif. will reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit—just 4 degrees shy of the 1913 world record. Phoenix and Las Vegas should also prepare for the triple digits.
Climate Central reports a “stuck” weather pattern setting up across the U.S. and Canada is to blame for the swelter:
“Starting this weekend, the jet stream — a fast-moving river of air at airliner altitudes that is responsible for steering weather systems — will form the shape of a massive, slithering snake with what meteorologists refer to as a deep ‘ridge’ across the Western states, and an equally deep trough setting up across the Central and Eastern states.”
According to CBS meteorologist Jeff Berardelli, the furnace once known as the deep Southwest is in for “a once-in-a-century-type” heat wave.

The 7 Most Important Things That Happened In The George Zimmerman Murder Trial This Week
By Rachel Samara
It was an interesting first week in the George Zimmerman second degree murder trial. The prosecution brought out a number of witnesses including law enforcement officers, residents of the neighborhood, and a number of eye and ear witnesses.
The dynamic in the courtroom was both tense and emotional.
Trayvon Martin’s parents walked out on multiple occasions, including when their deceased son’s face and body was shown. Trayvon’s hoodie was also put on display, as well as his bag of Skittles, making the images that have driven this case through the media over the past year incredibly real.
On the defense, Zimmerman’s attorney Don West began his opening arguments with a knock-knock joke and later in the week, he bumped heads with Rachel Jeantel, the last person to speak to Trayvon before he was killed.
We heard a lot of testimony in this first week, but we broke it all down for you. Here are the 7 most important things that happened:
1. John Good, a resident of The Retreat At Twin Lakes, testified that Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman, punching him MMA style, though he is the only witness to claim it was Trayvon on top.

2. Jeannee Nanalo, a resident of The Retreat At Twin Lakes, testified that “the bigger person” was on top during the fight, and after seeing the two men on the news, could tell it was George Zimmerman on top.
