This weekend is full of things to do around Philly if you aren't heading to the shore. Just a few to keep in mind. The TD Bank Championship Bike Race will be winding through Manyunk Roxborough, Kelly Drive, and the Parkway on Sunday. The Dragon Boat Regatta will be taking place along the Schuylkill all Day Saturday, iradiophilly will be at the Haverford Heritage Festival along Karakung Drive in Havertown Sunday so get out and enjoy the weather this weekend.

Jurors began their deliberations in the landmark case against Msgr. William Lynn and Rev. James J. Brennan. The jury, consisting of seven men and five women, were handed the case around noon after receiving and hour of instructions on the law and charges against both defendants. Lynn is charged with conspiracy and two counts of child endangerment, while Brennan is charged with attempted rape of a 14-year-old boy in 1996. The jury has 11 weeks of testimony and evidence to consider and well as 2,000 records and documents. Deliberations are sure to take some time.

A judge in Florida has revoked the bond on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer that shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin claiming self defense. He must surrender in 48 hours and return to jail. The judge said that Zimmerman misled the court about how much money he had available to him when his bond was set low at $150,000. Zimmerman made it seem like he had meager funds considering his wife is a student and he is not working, however prosecution determined that Zimmerman had raised $135,000 in donations through a website that he set up. The judge was not very pleased with this lack of forthright on Zimmerman's part and ordered him back to jail. A hearing will be scheduled next week so the defendant can explain his deceit.
In Sports, the Marlins of Miami are in town to take on the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in a tight NL East division series.

Expect storm thunderstorms to move through tonight. Followed by cloudy and windy conditions later this evening in Philadephia.
