MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A test lawsuit goes to trial in Minneapolis Monday against Swiss agribusiness giant Syngenta for introducing a genetically-engineered corn variety before China approved it for imports. The case alleges Viptera corn wrecked an important export market for U.S. corn and hurt prices. But Syngenta says the 2013 price drop resulted from larger market forces, not China's rejection of Viptera. The trial had been set for May. It would have been the first of tens of thousands of cases to go to trial. Читать дальше...

The Latest on the NFL's opening Sunday (all times Eastern): 3:40 p.m. Arizona running back David Johnson is questionable to return because of a wrist injury against the Lions. Johnson was shaken up after making a catch deep in Detroit territory in the third quarter. The Cardinals scored a touchdown on that drive, but on the team's next possession, Johnson fumbled deep in his own territory. His injury was announced after that. Johnson had over 2,000 all-purpose yards for Arizona last season. The Lions have held him to 28 yards rushing. Читать дальше...

TORONTO (AP) — The kind of breakthrough performance where it's immediately apparent that an actor is going to be a star for years to come is a rarity in movies. Think of Emma Stone in "Easy A" or Jessica Chastain in "The Tree of Life." But that kind of thunderbolt moment is striking now for 21-year-old Timothee Chalamet, a New Yorker with the talent to speak multiple languages, play numerous instruments and take the festival circuit by storm with a handful of performances — including one assured...

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of gasoline jumped in the past two weeks after Hurricane Harvey prompted the closure of refineries. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that it was the biggest price hike recorded by the Lundberg Survey since 2011. But she says whole gasoline prices have started to decline since refineries came back online and she expects prices at the pump will follow. In the survey on Sept. 8, the average price of regular gasoline was up 30 cents at $2.69 per gallon. Читать дальше...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The old Gold Rush town of Nome on Alaska's western coast is trying again to address hard drinking that's deeply entrenched there — this time with a proposed law prohibiting intoxication in public places like the city's main street, where people can be seen stumbling along or passed out near tourist shops. The measure would for the first time outlaw intoxication in public rights of way, such as Nome's Front Street and its sea wall. It targets those with a blood-alcohol content of at least 0.08 percent ... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — 'It' is a hit. The Stephen King adaptation from New Line and Warner Bros. has earned a record-breaking $117.2 million from 4,103 locations according to studio estimates on Sunday. Not only is "It" now the largest opening for a horror movie ever and the largest September opening of all time, the film more than doubled the earnings of the previous record holders. "It" also had a modest price tag, costing around $35 million to produce. The R-rated pic is directed by Andy Muschietti... Читать дальше...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Community College System has hired a new director for aviation programs. Michael "Mac" McDaniel was hired to the post, Al.com reported. The hiring is part of ACCS ramping up its programs to help fill what officials say is a surging demand for aircraft mechanics. McDaniel takes on the new position at ACCS after a stint with ExpressJet Airlines as a general manager of aircraft maintenance training in Atlanta. He says aviation education programs need to connect with... Читать дальше...

ROME (AP) — Torrential rain in Italy triggered flooding that killed at least six people Sunday in the Tuscan port of Leghorn, including a family of four who were trapped by rising water in a basement. Two other people were reported missing. Strong winds toppled trees and parked cars were nearly submerged by floodwaters that left the streets clogged with mud. "The city is literally devastated," said Leghorn Mayor Filippo Nogarin, adding that "a crazy amount of rain" pummeled the area in just a few hours. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sluggish pay raises have been an Achilles' heel for American workers since the Great Recession ended more than eight years ago — and a major headwind for faster economic growth. As a result, many people are spending less than they otherwise would. That trend, in turn, contributes to slower overall growth in the U.S. economy, because consumers account for roughly 70 percent of economic activity. Dan North, chief economist for Euler Hermes North America, part of the world's oldest and largest credit insurance company... Читать дальше...

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel and other senior German politicians on Sunday dismissed a travel warning for their country issued by Turkey amid persistent tensions between the two nations. Turkey's Foreign Ministry cited increased right-wing and racist rhetoric before Germany's Sept. 24 election in the warning it circulated Saturday. The countries are at odds over Turkey's detention of at least 10 Germans on what Berlin considers political grounds, among them two journalists. Other strains... Читать дальше...

KATY, Texas (AP) — Bryan Harvey is frequently reminded that he shares a name with the storm that dumped 50 inches of rain on metropolitan Houston and unleashed the floods that have him working 14-hour days towing water-logged cars. Even in their despair, some victims have salvaged a smile by posing for pictures in front of the "Harvey's Towing" sign on the side of his red Dodge Ram 5500 flat-bed truck. More than a week after Harvey slammed Houston, wreckers like Bryan Harvey are still hauling cars... Читать дальше...

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A dispute over whether to shut down Toledo's last abortion clinic is headed to the Ohio Supreme Court Tuesday, in a case both sides view as pivotal. At issue in oral arguments will be the state health department's 2014 order shutting down Capital Care of Toledo for lack of a patient-transfer agreement, which would formally authorize the transfer of patients from the clinic to a local hospital. Such agreements were mandated, and public hospitals barred from providing them, under restrictions Ohio lawmakers passed in 2013. Читать дальше...

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State coach Mike Leach was of two minds after Jamal Morrow caught a 22-yard pass and dove across the goal line in the third overtime to lift No. 20 Washington State to a 47-44 comeback victory over Boise State on Saturday night. On the one hand, "it was a fantastic team win," Leach said. On the other hand, "we were awfully one-dimensional for most of the first half," he said. "We played not to screw up." Officials reviewed the final play to make sure Morrow remained... Читать дальше...

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Jamal Morrow caught a 23-yard pass and dove across the goal line in the third overtime to lift No. 20 Washington State to a 47-44 comeback victory over Boise State on Saturday night. Officials reviewed the play to make sure Morrow remained inbounds as he ran toward the end zone on the left side and left his feet near the pylon. It was ruled a touchdown for Washington State (2-0), which trailed by 21 points in the fourth quarter. Boise State quarterback Montell Cozart came off... Читать дальше...

[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Sunday's Outlander Season 3 premiere, "A Battle Joined." Read at your own risk!] Outlander's most dastardly villain is dead. The Season 3 premiere of the Starz epic began with the Battle of Culloden, revealing how Jamie (Sam Heughan) survived the massacre, including long-awaited showdown with Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies). The two made eyes at each other from across the field and immediately acknowledged that only one or neither of them would leave the moor alive. Читать дальше...

For a show called Star Trek: Discovery, they do like to keep things mysterious. CBS All Access' reboot of the venerable sci-fi series will launch on Sept. 24 (it will also broadcast its first episode on CBS, before moving full time to the streaming service), yet not much is known about the plot. And when TV Guide visited the set of the show in August, one of the most frequent phrases we heard was, "we can't tell you that." Despite all the secrecy, there are some facts we do know. The series is returning 12 years after the last TV expedition... Читать дальше...

[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Sunday's Season 3 premiere of Outlander!Read at your own risk.] Outlander returned Sunday night, and while it was a relief to know that Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) survived their respective journeys -- it's obvious there is a long road back to seeing them in each other's arms. We already knew that Jamie survived the Battle of Culloden. But the premiere episode answered how he did it. The episode opened with a barely conscious Jamie... Читать дальше...

That's very brave, the idea of Seth wanting it to be a different type of show every week! How do you think viewers will react to it? Goodman: For the audience, I actually don't think this is that new. Even Star Trek had a lot of humor in it. The Twilight Zone -- sometimes it was mysterious, sometimes it was a dramatic episode, sometimes it was a sentimental episode, sometimes it was a comedic episode. Audiences for years have been open to this kind of show that isn't the same tone every week. If... Читать дальше...
