Circuit Judge Debra Nelson has limited the evidence George Zimmerman's attorneys can use during his trial, in which he shot the unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year. Details about Martin's marijuana, school suspension and fights cannot be used in opening statements, Nelson said.

The blaze that erupted on Monday afternoon in Los Padres National Forest in Santa Barbara has threatened dozens of cabins in the mountains, as well as the fate of many campers in the area forced to evacuate.

Classmates of Grant Acord at West Albany High School in Oregon said the 17 -year-old who is accused of planning to blow it up, discussed bomb-making in the weeks prior to his arrest last week. He did not, however, speak of a plot to inflict mega damage, the Associated Press reported. Acord was arrested Thursday night after a 911 tip that he was planning to blow up the school, police said.
