BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Two more mule deer have tested positive for chronic wasting disease in North Dakota, bringing the total since 2009 to seven.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Game and Fish Department says the latest positive tests were in deer killed during last fall’s gun season.

\u00a0FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Brad Keselowski roared past Kurt Busch on the final lap to win the Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in California, capitalizing on two late restarts to a green-white-checkered finish.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tipped his hand in a tweet just after midnight, declaring himself to be a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. He’ll make a formal announcement today at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, in an effort to claim the important GOP base of cultural conservatives. It’s expected he’ll soon be joined in the race by Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and two Senate colleagues, Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Florida’s Marco Rubio.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on two cases today.

Most Okinawans want the base gone completely from the island. Gov. Takeshi Onaga defeated a predecessor who had approved the base plan.
