Complaints about festival's cold pizza prompt state inquiry
NEW YORK - Some New York City foodies say a neighborhood pizza festival has left them with a bad taste in their mouths. Prosecutors are looking into the New York City Pizza Festival after attendees fumed they paid $75 each to eat cold slivers of pizza in a parking lot in Brooklyn on Sunday. The festival was promoted as a celebration of pizza. Attendees say on Facebook they instead got cold slices of pizza "smaller than a sample size," served with glasses of warm wine. WNBC-TV reports Democratic state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is urging attendees to file complaints on his website. A spokesman says prosecutors opened an investigation Monday. Festival organizer Ishmael Osekre says event producer Hangry Garden delayed the event. The event producer contends it was misled by...

Alaska teens petition for statewide climate change policy
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A group of Alaska teenagers has sent a petition to the state Department of Environmental Conservation in hopes of tightening climate change policy. Alaska's Energy Desk reported Tuesday that the teens' petition calls for the state to reduce carbon emissions, monitor what greenhouse gasses it does emit and come up with a strategy for the future. The group, named Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, delivered the petition in August. It follows a 2011 climate change lawsuit filed by a different group of Alaska teens, which made it all the way to the state Supreme Court before Justices ruled that it was a matter for the executive or legislative branch. The state has until Sep. 29 to respond to the petition. Officials can reject it or call a public hearing. - AP

Flight canceled over scorpion 'passenger'
LOS ANGELES - American Airlines confirmed a flight from California to Phoenix was canceled for an unusual reason - a scorpion was spotted on board the plane. Airline spokeswoman Leslie Scott said the Boeing 737, which had been due to depart Sacramento early Monday, had been in Phoenix the previous day, and that's likely where the scorpion boarded. Passenger Jim Zuber said he and more than 100 fellow passengers were told while waiting to board that the flight crew had spotted a scorpion on the plane and the airline was determining the best course of action. The airline eventually decided to cancel the flight. "The flight was canceled because we want passengers and crews to feel comfortable," Scott told the Sacramento Bee. "This is one for the books.

Chappelle, Lawrence, Hughley celebrate 'Def Comedy Jam 25'
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - There was no YouTube when "Def Comedy Jam" premiered on HBO in 1992.

Hughley, Sheryl Underwood and Cedric the Entertainer.Those comedians were joined by Steve Harvey, Tracy Morgan, Craig Robinson and others at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Sunday to tape "Def Comedy Jam 25," a Netflix special airing later this month that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Russell Simmons' groundbreaking comedy showcase."It put me on the map," Robinson said before stepping into the Beverly Hilton Hotel's...

TORONTO - Oscar nominees Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon electrified audiences at the Toronto film festival Sunday with their portrayals of Thomas Edison and his rival in the race for marketable electricity, George Westinghouse."The Current War" was directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, who described Edison as someone "who came from a world of spontaneous invention without really seeing the purpose for it at first, and created a purpose for something."In contrast, he said, "Westinghouse could immediately contextualize something and see how it could be greater for society.""The rivalry between them was interesting," Gomez-Rejon said, because of "what it said about the world and how we can, through invention and technology, leave it better...
