CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — A federal official says among the items investigators recovered during their search of the Chattanooga gunman's home are "writings" believed to be from him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Planned Parenthood says a secret video released last week by an anti-abortion group is a fraud. The group says it's part of a decade-long pattern of illegal harassment aimed at prohibiting abortion and intimidating women and doctors. Planned Parenthood says the person who made the video has secretly recorded its staff and patients at least 65 times, and then used heavily edited tapes to make false charges.
DESERT CENTER, Calif. (AP) — Transportation officials say a bridge along California's Interstate 10 that collapsed during a storm passed inspection earlier this year. They say inspectors found no safety issues during an inspection on March 17. The bridge across a desert gully was built in 1967. It collapsed yesterday during heavy rains, indefinitely severing a major artery between Southern California and Arizona. Inspectors plan to assess all bridges along a 30-mile stretch of the interstate after a second bridge showed signs of damage following the storm.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists say Earth dialed the heat up last month, smashing warm temperature records for both the month and the first half of the year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculated that world's average temperature in June hit 61.48 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the old record set last year by nearly a quarter of a degree. One climate scientist says "there is almost no way that 2015 isn't going to be the warmest on record."
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's another reason to get a good night's sleep. New research suggests that poor sleep may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease -- by spurring formation of a brain-clogging gunk that, in turn, further interrupts sleep. The studies were presented today at a conference in Washington.
