Heat ties Texas Odessa area to string of days over 90
Intense heat dominated into June with highs above 90 on most days and multiple 100 degree readings. A 111 degree record on June 27 capped a 14 day stretch above 100 as officials note a return to normal summer patterns and predict hot days through the Fourth of July. Pool supervisor Paul Weaver cites dropping pool business since mid June, hoping a rebound as forecasts call for near 100 degree highs and drying out conditions.

Groups to stay on government list of terrorists
A federal appeals court ruled the groups, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, may not be removed from the State Department terror list. The panel said the court cannot judge the secretary's conclusions or the classified information used to label them. The State Department cites violent acts and aims to topple governments, while the decision keeps their banking and financial support restrictions in place.
