Black Lives Matter slammed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Black Lives Matter slammed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee after a memo leaked late Wednesday seemed to show the group carefully coaching candidates on how to avoid angering the "radical" activists.

The November 2015 memo included tips like: Do not offer "support for concrete policy positions;" be sure to "lead from behind;" stick to "small" meetings; and avoid mentioning terms like "black-on-black crime."

On its Facebook page, BLM said officials should "stop pacifying" them.

"We are disappointed at the DCCC's placating response to our demand to value all Black life. Black communities deserve to be heard, not handled. People are dying," the organization said, in response to the leaked document.

The leaked files were posted along with other Democratic documents by Guccifer 2.0, a hacker of unknown origin who the U.S. says could be working out of Russia and is intent on disrupting the U.S. presidential election. Guccifer 2.0 claims the documents were taken from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's personal computer.

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill, in a statement, called the leak an "attempt by Russia to influence our election," while saying Pelosi "does not support the content or attitude of this memo. On many occasions, Leader Pelosi has publicly supported the ideals embraced by the Black Lives Matter movement and continues to do so."

He also noted Pelosi "does not have a personal computer at the DCCC so no hacked, dumped or doctored documents can be attributed to her computer."

It's the latest leak to dog Democrats, after another document dump exposed discussions in the upper reaches of the party about undermining Hillary Clinton primary foe Bernie Sanders.

The Nov. 19, 2015, memo was sent to DCCC staff by Troy Perry, who was the DCCC director of diversity but now works for the Clinton campaign. The DCCC is House Democrats' campaign arm.

In the email, he lays out the "best practices" for dealing with Black Lives Matter members.

"If approached by BLM activists, campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists. Invited BLM attendees should be limited," the email said. "Please aim for personal or small group meetings. Listen to their concerns, don't offer support for concrete policy positions."

The memo also urged against mentioning "black on black crime" or "all lives matter."

"This response will garner additional media scrutiny and only anger BLM activists," the memo said.

Meredith Kelly, national press secretary for the DCCC, said in a statement Wednesday that the organization "highly respects and values the leadership of the Black Lives Matter movement."

"In less than two years, BLM has evolved from three words into a political force that is changing and waking our nation," she said. "At the DCCC, we highly encourage our candidates to not only embrace the importance of this movement, but to meet with and listen to community activists to partner social change."

Black Lives Matter is a national organization that was created in 2012 after the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The movement has since grown and the group has been at the forefront of documenting and protesting the killings of Alton Sterling, a black man shot several times during an encounter with police officers outside a convenience store, and Philando Castile, a Minnesota man whose death was livestreamed on the Internet.

Its members have also gotten into confrontations with political candidates, including Democrats.

Parents of Murdered NYC Jogger are broken because of killer arrest

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The devastated mother of a Queens woman who was murdered while jogging nearly one month ago is "broken," she told ABC News today, but confident her daughter's killer will be caught.

Interested in New York?

Add New York as an interest to stay up to date on the latest New York news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

On Aug. 2, 30-year-old Karina Vetrano was strangled to death while jogging alone on a path where she and her father often ran together in Howard Beach, New York.

Nearly one month after her death, about 85 tips have come in, but the case remains unsolved.

The New York Police Department ( NYPD) still has no matches to DNA recovered from the scene. Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said Tuesday the killing is still believed to be a random attack.

"It hasn't been a roller coaster -- it's been one big downhill slide," Karina's father Phil Vetrano told ABC News. "There are no ups in this. And it's getting worse and worse. So we need to find this predator."

Police have talked to known shoplifters and panhandlers in the area and have traced possible escape routes. Because surveillance cameras did not capture a suspect, police said they are relying on witness recollection and have been interviewing joggers and bicycle riders every day.

Earlier today, police released a sketch of a specific witness they would like to identify and interview.

"Right now, I am a broken, broken woman," Karina's mother Cathy Vetrano told ABC News. "But I want to say this: I am 100 percent confident that this person will be caught."

She pleaded with anyone who may be helping the killer evade police to come forward.

"That person, if you're harboring him -- if you're trying to protect him -- he could do it to you. He could do it to your loved one. Because he killed my daughter, not in self defense, not because he had a fight with her, because he just killed an innocent, young, petite woman," she said.

"I beg of you to do what you know is right," she said. "Be courageous and make the phone call."

Watch the interview Thursday morning on "Good Morning America."

Someone is shooting sea otters. Recently the carcasses of 3 sea otters have washed up on the shores of California and they all have bullet holes in them. It is presumed they died days or weeks after being shot.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But not all appear to be pleased with the furry marine mammals. Three male sea otters have been found dead with gunshot wounds in Monterey Bay.

Their carcasses washed ashore between August 12 and 19, between the Santa Cruz Harbor and Seacliff State Beach, according to a joint statement from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Officials. After examining the otters, authorities say that the creatures probably died days or weeks after they were shot.

Last week, a fourth dead otter washed ashore also with a suspected gunshot wound, a spokeswoman from the US Fish and Wildlife told the Guardian.

Authorities are offering $10,000 in reward for information regarding the shootings that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible. That money comes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California Department of Fish and Wildlife and a private donor.

Sea otters are protected as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act. Penalties for killing a sea otter can amount to $100,000 in fines and possibly a jail sentence.

Sea otters once thrived around the Pacific Rim before they were hunted to near extinction. By 1938, there were only about 50 sea otters in central California. Over time with conservation efforts, they're now at 3,000, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The otters are mainly concentrated in the area between Monterey Bay to the south of the Big Sur coast, where they can often be spotted near shore.

Authorities are also asking people to take a picture if they spot a dead sea otter in Santa Cruz County, to leave it in place and report it to state authorities.

Tropical storm Hermine, expected to turn into a hurricane,  headed toward the Florida coastline. It would be the first hurricane to hit the state since Wilma in 2005.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The storm, currently in the Gulf of Mexico, is projected to make landfall in Florida. If it becomes a hurricane, it would be the first to hit the state since Wilma in 2005. The center of the storm is expected to be near the Florida coast by early Friday.

Residents along the Gulf Coast, pounded by heavy rain on Wednesday in advance of the storm, should be prepared for flooding and storm surges, as Hermine could bring up to 10 inches of rain, or 20 inches in isolated areas, the hurricane center said.

"It is crucial that every Floridian has a plan in place to ensure their families, homes and businesses are fully prepared," Gov. Rick Scott said in declaring the state of emergency for 51 of the state's 67 counties.

Hermine is moving north-northeast at 12 miles per hour, but is expected to gain speed through Thursday. Strong winds from the storm are expected to reach the Florida coast in the panhandle region beginning Thursday night, the hurricane center said. It also warned of dangerous storm surge and flooding along the Gulf Coast that could be life threatening from Aripeka to Indian Pass, which is located in central Florida about 50 miles north of Tampa.

Rising waters could reach up to one to seven feet above ground in certain areas.

Forecasts call for the storm to cross Florida before continuing northeast along the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas.

As of early Thursday, the storm was about 250 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola and 275 miles southwest of Tampa, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Previously dubbed Tropical Depression Nine, it strengthened into a tropical storm with 40-mph winds Wednesday afternoon.As of early Thursday, its maximum sustained winds were near 60 mph.

Hermine would become a hurricane if its sustained wind speeds top 74 mph.

A hurricane warning was in effect for the area between Suwannee River westward to Mexico Beach, Florida.

Catfish in the front yard

Some places, like Marco Island, were already dealing with high water in the streets, with residents saying they caught catfish in their flooded front yards, CNN affiliate WZVN reported.

"Craziest thing I ever saw," Darrin Palumbo told the station. "We were driving home from school, and the road was flipping around and moving. We finally figured out there was a bunch of catfish flopping around the road."

The town of Largo in Pinellas County experienced heavy flooding, with six families having to move out after water invaded their apartments, CNN affiliate WFTS reported.

People in Spring Hill, in Pasco County, are still recovering from flooding a few months ago, WFTS reported. That flood made the road they depend on impassable, resident Misty Hale said.

"It's going to be 10 times worse," she said.

Residents have been sharing images of high water running through neighborhoods.

In one video, a man is seen paddleboarding down a street. A photo from Holmes Beach showed a woman floating on an air mattress in her driveway.

In Anna Maria Beach, cars were splashing as they drove through hubcap-high water in the street.

Two Florida counties are taking no chances with its oceanside locales. Franklin County, just southeast of Panama City, issued a mandatory evacuation order for the coastal towns of St. George Island, Dog Island, Bald Point and Alligator Point, the county's emergency management office said.

Crawfordville Elementary School will open as a shelter at 5 p.m., the county said.

In Taylor County, farther east, evacuation orders were in place for Dekle Beach, Keaton Beach, Dark Island, Cedar Island, Steinhatchee, Spring Warrior, Econfina and Nutall Rise, CNN affiliate WTXL reported.

Ten offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico were also evacuated in anticipation of the storm.

NFL preseason game changed

In Tampa, the Buccaneers' final preseason NFL game against the Washington Redskins was moved from Thursday night to Wednesday in expectation of the storm.

Other parts of Florida are already feeling Hermine's effects. In Pinellas County, the southwest county that is home to Clearwater and St. Petersburg, schools have already been closed for Thursday, and a flood warning is in effect. Nearby Manatee County also closed schools.

The National Weather Service has issued a new online product to help people prepare for the storm.

The storm surge watch/warning graphic highlights spots with the highest risk for "life-threatening inundation from storm surge," the service said.

CNN's Brandon Miller, Madison Park and Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report.

Signal from sun-like star likely of Earthling variety

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If E.T. didn't phone home, what happened, you ask? It appears Earthlings are responsible, though scientists haven't explained exactly how.

Telescope researcher Yulia Sotnikova issued a statement Wednesday via the Russian Academy of Sciences Special Astrophysical Observatory saying analysis had "revealed (the signal's) most probable terrestrial origin," and that astronomers across the world continued to look for additional signals.

"It can be said with confidence that no sought-for signal has been detected yet," the statement said.

In an interview with the state-run TASS Russian News Agency, Sotnikova did not divulge a source for the signal, saying only that the signal "was most likely a terrestrial disturbance."

One possibility is a satellite. Alexander Ipatov, director of RAS' Institute of Applied Astronomy, told TASS that during "the Soviet period" he had been among a group of astronomers at Southwest Russia's Zelenchukskaya observatory that had discovered an "unusual signal."

"However, an additional check showed that it was emanating from a Soviet military satellite, which had not been entered into any of the catalogs of celestial bodies," Ipatov said.

How'd we get here?

The intergalactic hullabaloo over the most recent noise began Tuesday when media outlets reported that an odd signal was registered by the Zelenchukskaya observatory's radio telescope, known as the Ratan-600 (not to be confused with the illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator).

Astronomers devoted to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, began aiming powerful telescopes at the star, roughly 94 light years from Earth.

It's tough to make that number meaningful. You could break it down into miles -- roughly 553 trillion -- but that's likely more meaningless. How about 22 trillion times the Earth's circumference?

Eh, never mind. Let's just say it's a long dang way from here.

The star -- catchily dubbed HD 164595 -- is a "strong candidate for SETI," according to astronomers and was believed to be the origin of the radio signal.

If, in fact, the signal was artificial, its strength was sufficient to determine "it was clearly made by a civilization with capabilities beyond those of humankind," said astronomer Douglas Vakoch, president of METI International.

"Without corroboration from an independent observatory, a putative signal from extraterrestrials doesn't have a lot of credibility," Vakoch said.

TTYL, aliens?

METI stands for messaging extraterrestrial intelligence, and we're not talking about DMing Yoda.

If this signal had come from aliens on or in the vicinity of HD 164595, it would've required some otherworldly juice to get it here, suggesting a civilization far more advanced than our own.

Considering humans play the lottery and often stick scalding-hot pizza in their mouths, that may not sound like it's saying a lot. But chew on this (once it cools): In 1964, Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev developed an eponymous system for categorizing life forms.

"The Kardashev scale is based basically on the energy that that civilization might be able to funnel for its own use," Italian astronomer Claudio Maccone explained.

Humans are almost Type I, the designation for a civilization that can harness and store energy from the sun, wind, earthquakes and other fuels. No biggie.

Beaming a signal strong enough to be detected 94 light years away would have to come from a Type II civilization, meaning it's able to harness all the energy emitted by its star, billions of billions of watts. ( Don't get us started on what Type IIIs can do.)

Such a transmission would require some kind of superstructure, which, wholly unlike Earth's Walmart Supercenters, could catch and store all radiation emitted by the sun. If aliens wanted to text or DM humans, scientists say, they'd likely need a superstructure.

But why would they want to reach us, aside from the obvious -- obtaining DVDs of "The Wire" or tickets to a Beyoncé show? (Ha! Take that Type II civilizations with your fancy superstructures!)

For a scientific answer to this looming query, let's consult a statement released by Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer with the SETI Institute.

"It's hard to understand why anyone would want to target our solar system with a strong signal," he said. "This star system is so far away they won't have yet picked up on any TV or radar that would tell them that we're here."

So, there you go. Even the brainiacs have no idea.

Hunt continues

Why did Earth jump to the unlikely conclusion that aliens were trying to ping us? You likely know the answer: 42.

OK, that's a joke. Obscure literary references aside, fans of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" -- or "2001," "Star Wars," "Lost in Space," "Guardians of the Galaxy" and hundreds of other artistic endeavors -- can attest that many humans simply like the idea of aliens.

When an announcement surfaces suggesting a signal came from an extraterrestrial lifeform, of course imaginations run wild, even if scientists are quick to temper fantasies with phrases such as "no scientific results within the framework of this research."

While Wednesday's RAS report represents a buzzkill for those dreamily looking to the stars in anticipation of a close encounter, the fun isn't over.

METI International will continue using its Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama in search of "brief laser pulses that might be sent as a beacon from advanced extraterrestrials," METI president Vakoch said. And the SETI Institute is also examining HD 164595 using the Allen Telescope Array in California.

And, naturally, the world's astronomers will continue scouring the heavens for "sun-like stars," with or without detected planets, emitting signals or other indications of life in far-flung galaxies.

Let's just make sure that when we find them, or they find us, we're not shoving hot pizza in our mouths.

Researchers at the University of New York find in a study that smallest changes to facial features,like glasses,can shift our ability to identify them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Even the smallest change to someone's facial appearance, like wearing glasses, can shift our ability to identify them if we don't know them, according to a new study.

This could have an impact as facial recognition, from software to passports, becomes a topic of interest for protecting identity.

Researchers at the University of York showed 59 study participants side-by-side images and asked them to determine whether each depicted the same person. The images included three categories: people wearing glasses, people not wearing glasses or an image of someone wearing glasses paired with one that wasn't.

Rather than showing them single images and asking for an identification to test their memory, the researchers wanted to test the participants' visual comparison abilities by presenting the side-by-sides. The participants were not under time constraints while viewing the images.

For cases in which both images showed someone in glasses or someone not wearing glasses, 80% of the students were able to accurately identify whether it was the same person. But that accuracy dropped 6% when comparing a person wearing glasses next to someone who wasn't.

"A 6% drop in performance may not sound like much, but if you consider the number of people who go through passport control at Atlanta International airport every year -- over 100 million last year -- a 6% drop in accuracy equates to 6 million misidentifications," said Kay Ritchie, co-author of the study from the University of York's psychology department. "We hope this work can be used to inform future policies on face identification, particularly given the discrepancy between different forms of photo ID when it comes to wearing glasses."

The researchers chose images of people who the participants wouldn't know or recognize. The images were also similar to what we're used to seeing on social media, including varied poses, facial expressions, lighting and background. Passport-style photos in which the pose or facial expression doesn't shift between images were not included.

All of the images were in color and high quality, loosely cropped around the head and found on Google Images. Researchers made sure that images of the same person didn't share backgrounds or angles or other comparable traits. To make things interesting, they also found similar-looking people, or "foils," and added them to the mix.

Based on the findings from previous work, the researchers knew that showing people different images of someone they're familiar with, like a family member, are instantly recognizable, even if those photos are over a passage of time.

"This robust ability to recognize familiar faces often leads us to incorrectly think we are good at recognizing all faces," Ritchie said. "Consider the passport controller whose job it is to look at a person's face and decide whether or not they are the person shown in the passport image. This is a difficult task because they are unfamiliar with the person, and the passport photo could be up to 10 years old."

As Ritchie pointed out, people are allowed to wear glasses in passport photos in the United States, but not the UK.

When we look at someone familiar, we "just know," Ritchie said. But when it comes to looking at an unfamiliar face, we focus on different things rather than assessing something identifying like their eyes or nose. It's the classical "first impressions" idea, said lead author Robin Kramer, a researcher in the University of York's psychology department.

"Some of the 'key' or fundamental trait dimensions may include attractiveness, trustworthiness and dominance," Kramer said.

Those in a class of "super recognizers," people like forensic examiners or those with higher natural abilities, tend to focus on the central region of the face, according to research cited in the study. But for most of us, it's a guessing game when it comes to unfamiliar faces.

"While we may still find it hard to believe that the inhabitants of Metropolis are unable to match Clark Kent with the numerous appearances of Superman in newspapers and on television, we can at least understand why Kent has chosen glasses as his aid to anonymity," the researchers said in their study.

update, Trump trails Clinton by two points in the polls.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Fox News survey published Wednesday shows Clinton winning 41% of the vote to Trump's 39%, with third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein earning 9% and 4% respectively.

That difference is not statistically significant, and it is a tighter spread than other recent national polls. Two other polls released this week -- by Monmouth and Quinnipiac Universities -- showed Clinton with 7-point leads.

In a two-way race without Johnson and Stein, Fox finds Clinton's lead extends to six points, 48% to 42%. That is narrower than the 10-point lead that Fox said Clinton had following the Democratic National Convention.

Fox's polls are included in those used by the Commission on Presidential Debates to determine whether either of the third-party candidates meet the 15% threshold needed to win a spot on the stage next month.

Despite Trump's recent outreach to voters of color, Clinton holds commanding leads with African Americans and Hispanics, Fox finds. Clinton leads Trump with black voters by 68 points in the four-way ballot test, and by 19 points with Latino voters.

Fox surveyed 1,011 registered voters, and the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

An argument outside a North Las Vegas McDonald's turned deadly for a 31-year-old man.

Family members of Mohammed Robinson say he died Saturday night after he mistakenly did not hold the door open for a woman.

UPDATE | Alonzo Perez robbed woman at ATM before killing man who didn't hold door for a woman

" It's horrible. I want my dad back and you took him away from me!" said the murder victim's daughter, Miniya Sampson.

14-year-old Miniya Sampson tries to understand the senseless murder of her father, 31-year-old Mohammad Robinson.

North Las Vegas police say Saturday night just before midnight a man shot Robinson outside the McDonalds near Pecos and Las Vegas Boulevard.

"It was a stupid reason honestly, irrelevant. It doesn't make any sense why would you actually take someone's life over not opening a door," said Sampson.

Sampson says her father's best friend witnessed the shooting.

The friend told Sampson, her father got into an argument with a woman that was upset that a door into the McDonald's was not held open for her. The woman notified a man she was with and that man pulled out a gun and shot Robinson.

The victim's girlfriend who did not want to show her face says Mohammed was a respectful man.

"He was the utmost respect for his elders. Yes, ma'am -- no sir. He's not confrontational even when we would argue he'd walk away," said Mohammad's girlfriend.

Sampson believes her father died because of a misunderstanding.

"My dad would open the door and hold it for the lady but he probably didn't hear her," said Sampson.

Sampson prays the murderer is caught soon. The 14-year-old tells us her heart will be forever broken.

"I love him. I wish he was still here," said Sampson.

Study shows that dogs listen to not only intonation of words but the actual words being said as well.  Although they cannot process language like humans there are shown to be some similarities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
He might be catching on to more than you think -- and your intonation when saying certain words is just as important to him as the words themselves, according to a small study published in the journal Science on Tuesday.

Dogs use the left hemisphere of the brain to process words, similar to humans, said Attila Andics, a research fellow at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary and lead author of the study.

Meanwhile, the study also suggests that dogs use a right hemisphere brain region to process intonation independently of words, which means they may separate what you say from how you say it.

Man's best friend's brain

"It was surprising that dogs, like people, have a clear left hemisphere dominance for processing meaningful words and that they combine word meaning and intonation to arrive at a unified representation of meaning," Andics said.

"What makes dogs special is that they pay attention to human social signals, including speech," he added. "This study is the first step to understanding how dogs interpret human speech, and these results can also help to make communication and cooperation between dogs and humans even more efficient."

The study involved 13 dogs -- golden retrievers, border collies, a German shepherd and a Chinese crested -- who were trained to lie down and remain still for more than seven minutes while in a brain-scanning MRI machine.

The researchers used the machine to record and measure neural activity in the dogs' brains while they listened to a woman trainer, whom they were familiar with, recite various words in various intonations.

For instance, positive or meaningful words such as "well done," "good boy" and "clever" were said in both a praising intonation and a neutral intonation. Neutral or meaningless words, such as "even if," "although" and "however," also were said in both intonations.

The brain scans revealed that parts of the left hemisphere reacted the most to the meaningful words. In general, the brain's left hemisphere is linked to language and speech processing in most humans.

Meanwhile, parts of the right hemisphere reacted to intonation, suggesting that the dogs processed the meaning of words separately from the tone in which they were spoken, according to the brain scans.

Only when a praise word was spoken to the dogs in a praising tone of voice did the brain's reward center light up like a Christmas tree in the brain scans. The reward center is the part of the brain that responds to pleasurable stimuli, like food treats or being petted.

"Our finding supports those who think that some nice words can also work as a reward for dogs," Andics said.

I say 'Woof,' you say ...

In 2014, the same research team conducted a similar MRI study, published in the journal Current Biology, in which brain scans were taken of both 11 dogs and 22 humans while they listened to dog sounds, human sounds and random non-vocal sounds.

In that study, similar patterns were found in dog and human brains, but a left dorsal auditory region of the dog brains responded stronger than the human brains to the dog sounds.

Some scientists reference the old and new research as evidence that dogs have language-processing neural capacities that were previously thought to be uniquely human. Other scientists, however, disagree.

"Unless there is a secret dog lexicon, this all points to an attention-amplifying effect of left hemisphere bias of auditory processing," said Gregory Berns, distinguished professor of neuroeconomics and director of the Center for Neuropolicy at Emory University, who was not involved in the study.

In other words, just because the left hemisphere of both dog and human brains respond to words similarly doesn't necessarily mean that dogs comprehend words just like we do.

To explain the new study's results, maybe "the praise words in the current study are simply alerting and attracting the dog's attention, potentially amplifying the left hemisphere bias that is there for all of the words," said Berns, who has used MRI machines to scan dog brains in his own work.

"If the dog wasn't on task to stay in the MRI, she would probably cock her head to one side," he added. "I'm convinced dogs understand some things, but their semantic space is not constructed like ours."

Wagging, no matter what

Other scientists agree that the new study findings don't necessarily show that dogs think just like we do.

"The study doesn't claim that dogs understand words in the sense that we understand each other's words. It shows that dogs' brains process the sounds of a person's voice in two ways," said Clive Wynne, psychology professor and director of the Canine Science Collaboratory at Arizona State University, who was not involved in the new study.

"It reminds me how, as a kid, for fun, we would insult our family dog, Benji, in a happy tone of voice. And he would wag his tail enthusiastically. We used to think that was very cute, and it seems to show that the content of the word is not important -- only the tone of voice with which it is said," Wynne said. "This study shows that my childish self was wrong: The dog's brain really can discriminate meaningful from meaningless words."

Scientists are still scratching their heads about whether other non-human animals can process words and intonation in the same way dogs do, Andics said. "We don't know. It has never been tested."

However, the researchers posit in the new study that what makes language uniquely human may not be the brain's capacity to process words and meaning. Rather, it might be the human invention of words and our ability to give words meaning.

The study "provides interesting new evidence that dogs are tracking several of the same linguistic features that humans do, and that dogs seem to understand the intent behind some of our utterances," said Laurie Santos, psychology professor at Yale University, who has studied the cognitive capacities of animals but was not involved in the new research.

"I think it shows the way that domestication has shaped dogs to pay attention to yet another important human social cue," she said.

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, tweeted early Wednesday morning that the musician had been released, adding, "The allegations against him are demonstrably false."

The arrest at Brown's Los Angeles home took place after a nearly 14-hour standoff, the Associated Press reported, and ended when police obtained a search warrant to enter the residence.

A guest at Brown's home, Baylee Curran, told "Good Morning America" that he pointed a gun at her face after he became angry when she complimented another man's jewelry.

Police did not confirm any of the details surrounding the alleged altercation.

Police described Brown as being "cooperative," and did not confirm if they recovered any weapons from his home.

Brown was released on $250,000 bail at 11:19 p.m. local time, according to jail records. His next court date is set for Sept. 20.

LAPD arrived at the scene after receiving a call from a woman needing assistance at around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Brown, 27, denied any wrongdoing via social media, inviting police to obtain the warrant.

"You're going to walk right up in here and you're going to see nothing," he said in a video posted to his Instagram.

The investigation was transferred to the LAPD's Robbery Homicide division because of its high profile status.

After police served the warrant, Brown and his guests were brought outside while authorities did a protective sweep.

Police said all occupants would be interviewed about the incident.

Brown's representatives did not immediately respond to ABC News's request for comment.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
