\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Officials say North Dakota’s uncongested airspace and unpredictable weather make the state an ideal spot for an unmanned aerial systems test site.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state has committed $1 million in promotional costs and $4 million in operational costs in an effort to become one of six operations throughout the country to test civilian drones – in good weather and bad.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota Department of Commerce spokesman Brian Opp says the airspace in northeastern North Dakota is already designated for drone use by the University of North Dakota, so it would be a smooth transition.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Opp says two of the primary uses for drones are agriculture and energy, which also makes the state a good fit for the test center.<\/p>\n

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – West Fargo city commissioners say they are stung by the stench from the city’s sewage lagoons.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Commissioners have asked the city’s public works director to find out what can he do about an unusually pervasive smell that has led to complaints.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 City commissioner Mark Simmons says the odor “roams the city” and believes the leaders owe to citizens to be proactive and offer an explanation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Public Works Director Barry Johnson says he’s skeptical about complaints that the West Fargo smell has invaded Fargo. He says he doesn’t know how people could differentiate smells from different composts and landfills.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0West Fargo has tried chemically treating the ponds, but the lagoons are too big and it costs too much at $60,000 for each application.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The Charlotte Bobcats have settled on their sixth head coach since 2006-07.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Two people familiar with the situation tell The Associated Press the Bobcats have hired Los Angeles Lakers assistant Steve Clifford and given him a three-year contract. Clifford replaces Mike Dunlap, who was fired after going 21-61 in his only season as coach.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clifford has also been an assistant in New York, Houston and Orlando before joining the Lakers last summer. He has never been a head coach.

TENNIS…<\/p>\n
\u00a0PARIS (AP) – Play began Tuesday at the French Open after a rain delay of 2 1\/2 hours that left center-court spectators longing for the planned retractable roof.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With the tournament still in the first round on the third day of action, Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli faced Olga Govortsova in the opening match on center court, but rain began falling shortly before the players were scheduled to take the court.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The start of action on 14 other courts was also delayed. The schedule included the two champions from the Australian Open in January, No. 1-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Victoria Azarenka, along with past major titlists Petra Kvitova and Samantha Stosur.<\/p>\n
Yesterday’s winners include Rafael Nadal (nah-DAHL’) and Maria Sharapova and Agnieszka Radwanska (ahg-nee-ESH’-kuh rahd-VAHN’-skuh), but fifth seed Tomas Berdych (TOH’-mahs bur-DEEK’) fell to Gael Monfils (GAH’-ehl mohn-FEES’) 7-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 7-5.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie get to renew an old acquaintance today and take a trip to the beach. Obama’s visit to check out the Superstorm Sandy recovery process gives him a chance to showcase FEMA’s work since the storm. Christie, meanwhile, can send a national message that much of the Jersey Shore is open for the summer season.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) – It may have been the last day of the trip anyway for some, but thousands of Memorial Day campers had to bolt when a wildfire in California mountains near Santa Barbara became a threat. The flames were fanned by the wind and quickly grew to 1,000 acres, threatening about 50 homes.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BALTIMORE (AP) – There was an abrupt ending to a vacation at sea over the weekend. A fire aboard Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas caused the cruise to be canceled after docking in the Bahamas. The company is flying 2,200 passengers back to the starting point in Baltimore today. The ship docked under its own power.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – Britain’s parliamentary intelligence committee is taking a closer look at the daylight slaying of a British soldier. The question for lawmakers is whether U.K. intelligence services slipped up in any way. British officials say the two main suspects had been known to them for some time, and questions have swirled about whether authorities could have done more to prevent the killing.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNDATED (AP) – Sen. John McCain, who favors arming Syrian rebels, slipped into Syria Monday to meet with rebel leaders. His office isn’t saying much else. Meanwhile, the European Union has ended its arms embargo to the rebels just as top U.S. and Russian diplomats try to persuade both sides in the civil war to attend peace talks in Geneva.
