NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game "Deflategate" suspension imposed by the NFL.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sihk) is urging people in Indiana to vote for him, despite his agreement to stand aside in that state. His message came about 13 hours after he announced an arrangement to give rival Ted Cruz "a clear path" in next week's Indiana primary. In exchange, Cruz is to give Kasich a clear path in Oregon and New Mexico. The arrangement is designed to prevent Donald Trump from clinching the nomination. Speaking today in Philadelphia, Kasich said he never told Indiana voters that they shouldn't vote for him. He says he simply agreed not to spend "resources" in Indiana. The Ohio governor also says the stop-Trump alliance is "no big deal."

YORKTOWN, Va. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a man in connection with the theft of a donations jar intended for the family of a slain Virginia State Trooper.
