\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The changes come in the wake of confusion for some Upper Midwest farmers over a rule that’s aimed at stopping farmers from fraudulently collecting insurance payments on land that typically can’t support crops because it’s constantly flooded or parched.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal officials say the confusion was caused by farmers misinterpreting some information. But the congressional delegation asked for better direction from the Risk Management Agency.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and Rep. Kevin Cramer say the agency has now done that.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The NFL has suspended Minnesota Vikings fullback Jerome Felton for three games for violating the league’s policy on substance abuse. Felton made the Pro Bowl last season after blocking for many of teammate Adrian Peterson’s 2,097 yards rushing. He signed a three-year contract with the club in March worth as much as $7.5 million.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TORONTO (AP) – Derek Jeter has returned to the New York Yankees’ lineup, going 0-for-3 with a walk while batting second and playing shortstop in Monday’s game against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Jeter broke his left ankle in the AL championship series last October and missed the first 91 games this year. Since then, the 13-time All-Star has twice been forced back on the DL, first with a strained right quadriceps and more recently with a strained right calf, allowing him to appear in just five games all season before tonight.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) – Syria’s foreign minister says his country has two choices in the event of a U.S. strike — surrender or fight back. Walid al-Moallem says Syria chooses to fight back and will defend itself using “all means available.” He didn’t say what those means are. Syria also says Secretary of State John Kerry is lying about chemical weapons use against rebels.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 GENEVA (AP) – A spokesman for the World Health Organization says concern over Syria prompted WHO to quickly issue new guidelines for treating victims of chemical warfare agents. Syria is accused of using chemicals in an Aug. 21 attack on its own citizens. A U.N. chemical inspection team is on the ground but hasn’t issued any findings yet.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNDATED (AP) – Tradition in China has it that the gates of hell have opened and hungry ghosts are roaming the countryside and visiting the homes of their relatives. The belief is this happens during the seventh month of the lunar year, resulting in a raucous, feast-and-music filled celebration known as the Hungry Ghost Festival. But it’s not all good. Some spirits are said to wander the streets, ravenous and envious because they died without descendants or were ignored by family during their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
