The complaint says 31-year-old James Peyton slept through the fire and died as a result of smoke inhalation.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators say they’ve issued an emergency order requiring tests of crude oil before shipment by rail in response to a string of train explosions and fires since last summer. The Federal Railroad Administration says it also is prohibiting shipping oil using the least-protective packing requirements. The order is a response to derailments of trains carrying oil from the Bakken region in North Dakota that resulted in explosions and fire, including a train that exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, near the U.S. border, in July, killing 47 people.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials are working to link the state’s system to federal computers that help enroll people for coverage under the new health care law.

     Axness was elected to the state Senate in 2012. He works for a disability rights organization in Fargo.

Jamestown (CSi) Over 80 deer hunters and landowners Tuesday evening at the Bunker in Jamestown attended a presentation from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department on the current status of the deer herd and possible changes in the way NDGF issues deer hunting licenses.

Game and Fish has held meetings on the topic around the state this month.

In about six weeks, Game and Fish will present its annual hunting proclamation to Governor Jack Dalrymple for the 2014 deer hunting season.

NDGF Wildlife Division, assistant chief, Jeb Williams said any changes the agency decides to make are unlikely to be implemented this year.

Department input has included adjusting the season length, close the doe season, eliminate youth and non-resident licenses, implement a one-buck or one-deer system, sitting out a year after a hunter draws a buck tag and make no change at all.

Williams said some of those proposed changes would have to be done through the state Legislature.

Hunters can still provide input to the NDGF on deer management online at gf.nd.gov/about-us/game-and-fish-advisory-board/deer-meetings. Comments will be accepted until March 17, 2014.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota wildlife officials say all four hunters who got bighorn sheep licenses last year bagged a ram.

One license is given out in North Dakota every year through an auction to raise money for sheep management, and the rest are given out through a lottery drawing. The season is in October and November.

Bighorn sheep, moose and elk licenses are issued as once-in-a-lifetime licenses in North Dakota. The state Game and Fish Department says hunter success during last year’s moose season was 91 percent, and for the elk season 50 percent.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan told his team at halftime to just do its thing. He told Sam Dekker during one huddle to make his presence felt.

In world and national news…

MOSCOW (AP) – There are reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is checking the status of his military forces in central and western Russia. Ukraine is one of Russia’s western neighbors. Media reports say Putin ordered an immediate test of combat readiness but they don’t mention Ukraine. The reports quote Russia’s defense minister.

     BERLIN (AP) – German security services say they are keeping a close eye on a dozen Islamic extremists who are back in Germany after fighting in Syria. Officials say the extremists are considered potential terror threats. Germany’s domestic intelligence service says about 300 people – 280 men and 20 women – have left Germany for Syria since the start of unrest there more than two years ago and that radicalized, battle-hardened returnees are a growing problem.

     BEIRUT (AP) – Syrian state media reports that al-Qaida-affiliated rebels lost as many as 150 men in an ambush by government troops near the capital, Damascus. A report by SANA says the rebels belonged to the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front. In a live broadcast from the area, Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV station showed dozens of bodies scattered along an unpaved road.

     WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama will focus on roads and railways today when he travels to Minnesota to propose $300 billion in updates. The Highway Trust Fund finances federal highway and transit programs but is forecast to go broke as early as August. The fund needs $100 billion over the next six years just to maintain current spending levels. Obama and Congress don’t want to raise gas taxes to make up the gap.

     MIAMI (AP) – Justin Bieber’s latest video is due out this afternoon. It’ll feature his visit to a South Florida police station after his January arrest, with some sensitive parts omitted. Miami-Dade County prosecutors say DVDs of about 10 hours of video will be made public this afternoon. The video was sought by The Associated Press and other media organizations under Florida’s public records law.
