BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s attorney general says a federal study analyzing the volatility of Bakken crude supports the state’s petition to overturn Washington state’s oil shipment safety restrictions.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in May mandated a lower vapor pressure limit for Bakken crude shipped through the state by rail. In July, North Dakota and Montana asked the Trump administration to overrule that law.
Several Bakken crude-carrying trains have derailed and exploded in recent years, leading to scrutiny of the high vapor pressure of North Dakota oil.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the Sandia National Laboratories study completed this month says “vapor pressure is not a statistically significant factor” in the severity of oil train crashes.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said Wednesday that the study “vastly undermines the reasoning” behind Washington state’s law

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials are issuing a national warning against marijuana use by adolescents and pregnant women , as more states legalize some forms of the drug’s use.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Surgeon General Jerome Adams made the announcement Thursday.
The warning comes as more than 30 states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes or personal use.
Adams says the science shows marijuana is harmful to the developing brains of teenagers and to the human fetus.
The drug has also gotten stronger. Adams says, “This ain’t your mother’s marijuana.”
Azar said President Donald Trump is donating part of his salary to pay for a promotional campaign to highlight the warning.
The officials note that while state laws have changed legalizing marijuana, federal law hasn’t.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s inspector general says former FBI Director James Comey violated FBI policies in his handling of memos documenting private conversations with President Donald Trump.
The watchdog office says Comey broke FBI rules by giving a memo containing unclassified information to a friend with instructions to share the contents with a reporter.
The office also says Comey failed to notify the FBI after he was fired that he had retained some of the memos in a safe at home.
Comey wrote a series of memos about conversations with Trump he says unnerved him. He says he wanted to make a record of the interactions because he was concerned Trump might later lie about them.
The Justice Department has already decided that it won’t prosecute Comey over the matter.
MIAMI (AP) — The Rolling Stones are again rescheduling a concert; this time because Hurricane Dorian is approaching the Florida coast.
Publicist Amal Mokhtar says that due to the weather forecast, a concert scheduled for Saturday in Miami Gardens will instead happen Friday night. All tickets will be honored for the new concert date but there will be no opening act.
The concert was originally scheduled for April but had to be rescheduled because of lead singer Mick Jagger’s health issues.
It’s also the second time this year that tropical weather has prompted the Rolling Stones to reschedule a concert in the Southeast. Last month, the band pushed a New Orleans concert back by a day as Tropical Storm Barry approached the area.
LONDON (AP) — Finland says it will continue to pay state pensions to recipients residing in Britain for up to one year after the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
The Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health said that the so-called protection period already applies to those Finnish state pension recipients who move outside the EU.
The ministry said in a statement that by extending the measure to include Britain, “Finland prepares for a no-deal Brexit.”
It said the Finnish government paid an average of 105 euros ($116) a month in pensions to 320 recipients residing in Britain in 2018.
(AP) A government report says mumps has swept through 57 immigration detention facilities in 19 states since September.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday new mumps cases continue as migrants are taken into custody or transferred between facilities. As of last week, outbreaks were happening in 15 facilities in seven states.
It’s the first official report on the outbreaks in the overloaded immigration system.
Mumps is a contagious virus that causes swollen glands, puffy cheeks, fever, headaches and, in severe cases, hearing loss and meningitis.
The virus has sickened 898 adult migrants and 33 detention center staffers.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Bryan Cox says medical professionals at detention facilities screen new detainees within 24 hours of their arrival to ensure that highly contagious diseases are not spread.
