\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Immunization Surveillance Coordinator Amy Schwartz says a couple of vaccine manufacturers are reporting delays in vaccine shipments, but officials still expect an adequate supply starting in October.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Oil industry representatives are telling North Dakota regulators that the state has proper regulations in place to treat Bakken crude for shipment by rail.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – A U.S. official says America and its Arab allies launched more than 200 airstrikes against roughly a dozen militant targets in Syria during the assault that began\u00a0Monday night. The military mission was the beginning of a broad international campaign against Islamic State militant strongholds in Syria. The U.S. simultaneously targeted the Khorasan Group, an al-Qaida cell, west of the Syrian city of Aleppo that was said to be plotting imminent attacks on American and Western interests.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNITED NATIONS (AP) – A day-long summit at the United Nations on climate change is revealing the obstacles that stand in the way of wide-ranging agreements to reduce heat-trapping pollution. Brazil said it wouldn’t sign a pledge to halt deforestation by 2030. China’s vice premier insisted that developing nations — including his own — be allowed to release more pollution. And the United States decided not to join 73 countries in supporting a price on carbon. Congress has indicated it would reject that idea. Speaking to the gathering, President Barack Obama urged other nations to follow the example of the United States in clean energy and reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Fire officials say it could take until this evening for crews to fully put it out.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper say they’ll work to reduce the calories Americans get from beverages by 20 percent over the next decade by more aggressively marketing smaller sizes, bottled water and diet drinks.
