      Julian Assange fuels conspiracy theories about Democratic aide’s death

      WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Tuesday floated a theory that the Democratic National Committee staffer who was shot dead in the streets of Washington last month had been targeted because the operative was an informant. In an interview on Dutch television, the Australian cyberactivist invoked the unsolved killing of Seth Rich, 27, earlier this summer to illustrate the risks of being a source for his organization. Citing WikiLeaks protocol, Assange refused to confirm whether or not Rich was in fact a source for WikiLeaks, which has released thousands of internal DNC emails, some of them politically embarrassing.

      Got a letter for Obama? Message him on Facebook.

      President Barack Obama is a bit of a night owl, known to spend the wee hours in the White House Treaty Room reading briefings, working on speeches, watching ESPN and eating almonds. “It has been a part of his daily routine since taking office in 2009,” White House chief digital officer Jason Goldman writes in a post for Medium.com. Until now, Goldman says, most of the letters chosen by the staff have been handwritten letters or emails sent through WhiteHouse.gov.

      The 10-year-old boy killed during a ride on the world's tallest waterslide was decapitated in the accident, a person familiar with the investigation said. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about Caleb Schwab's death and spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity. Caleb died Sunday on the Verruckt raft ride at the Schlitterbahn WaterPark in Kansas City, Kansas.

      Grandmother Outraged After Dog Was Eaten By An Alligator During A Family Walk in the Park

      Sue Fortenbery from St. Petersburg told InsideEdition.com that she and her 18-year-old grandson, Kevin, were taking a walk at Joe's Creek Greenwood Park when suddenly, their dog Bolt took off after a rabbit. Then Fortenbery said she heard two screams--one from her grandson, followed closely by a scream from her dog. "I knew there was a gator out there, but I didn't know it came to the bank like that," the devastated grandmother said.

      Shifting Sands Reveal 400-Year-Old Petroglyphs in Hawaii

      Shifting sands on a Hawaiian beach have revealed — and then concealed again — carvings that Hawaii's indigenous people made on the shoreline at least 400 years ago. Two tourists from Texas stumbled across the petroglyphs last month on Oahu's Waianae Coast on the western side of the island. "It was just a stroke of luck," Lonnie Watson, one of the visitors, said in a statement issued by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.

      Study redraws route of human passage into Americas

      The first people to reach the Americas could not have passed through the ice sheet-cleaving inland corridor long thought to be the entry point of humans to the continents, according to a study published Wednesday. About 14,500 years ago, a 1,500-kilometre (900-mile) north-south corridor opened up between the Cordilleran ice sheet -- which covered roughly what is today the Canadian province of British Colombia -- and the much larger Laurentide ice sheet, which smothered the rest of Canada.

      Apartment fire kills 2 despite 'very heroic' rescue efforts

      Two people died, dozens were injured and others were unaccounted for after a massive explosion and fire at an apartment complex outside the nation's capital, authorities said Thursday. Among those injured were three firefighters, treated and released after a large-scale rescue effort in which some people dropped children off balconies in the garden-style apartment to safety below. Montgomery County Police Assistant Chief Russ Hamill said at a news conference Thursday that the explosion's cause remains under investigation.

      Chinese Satellite Will Help ‘Safeguard Rights’ in the South China Sea

      Amid heightening tensions over the South China Sea, China’s state-run newspaper reported Thursday that a recently launched satellite would help safeguard the country’s maritime interests in the disputed region. The Gaofen 3 satellite includes a radar system that can generate images from space with a resolution down to 1 m, the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense told the China Daily. China claims most of the rocks and reefs of the South China Sea as its own, but the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also stake disputing claims to various parts of the territory.

      Mississippi woman gets 12 years for trying to aid Islamic State

      Jaelyn Delshaun Young, 20, had pleaded guilty to one count in March as did her co-defendant and husband, Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla, 23. Judge Sharion Aycock of the Northern District of Mississippi imposed a 12-year sentence and ordered Young to serve 15 years of supervised release once she is released from prison, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement. Young and Dakhlalla were arrested at a Mississippi airport in August 2015 while attempting to board a flight to Turkey.
