BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Smoke from Canadian forest fires is causing problems for some people in the Dakotas. Health officials are urging people to limit exposure to the smoke.<\/p>\n

The haze from wildfires in Saskatchewan has blanketed the region since last week. Napoleon, North Dakota couple David and Kelly Andrews both have asthma, and\u00a0 say the smoke is making it harder for them to breathe.<\/p>\n

General Atomics is one of the world’s leading developers of high-technology systems, including the Predator and Reaper drones. Company officials toured the park on Monday.<\/p>\n

Gov. Jack Dalrymple says the state already has invested more than $30 million at Grand Sky, which recently added Northrop Grumman as a tenant.<\/p>\n

BRUSSELS (AP) – Dutch finance officials say Greece needs to come up with a serious package to present to eurozone finance ministers today if fresh bailout talks are to make any progress. But on the same day that Greece’s new finance minister was sworn in, he conceded yesterday that he was “very nervous and very anxious.” In addition to today’s meeting of finance ministers, the eurozone heads of state also meet today in Brussels.
