A Carnival cruise ship changed course in the Caribbean on August 26 to pull a lone sailor off a disabled vessel, the third such at-sea rescue involving a cruise liner in roughly three months. Carnival Conquest was heading toward St. George's, Grenada, when the ship received a distress relay from rescue authorities and diverted to locate a sailing vessel that could no longer move under its own power. The crew found the boat and brought its sole occupant aboard safely, Carnival Cruise Line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. The cruise line did not identify the rescued individual, did not describe the person's condition, and did not explain what disabled the sailing vessel. The U.S. Coast Guard did not immediately respond to a request…Open

Lionel Richie checked into a St. Louis ICU after his Saturday night concert, the latest in a string of health scares that have shadowed the 77-year-old singer's summer tour with Earth, Wind & Fire. Richie performed at the St. Louis Municipal Opera Theatre on Aug. 29, but concertgoers noticed something was wrong before the final notes faded. Witnesses told TMZ that the former Commodores frontman appeared to struggle near the end of the show, asking for a chair so he could sit down while performing his closing number, "All Night Long (All Night)," the hit 1983 track. Social media videos showed Richie wearing a red leather jacket over an all-black outfit, seated center stage for the finale. A concert review from The St. Louis American noted…Open

A video of a white-as-snow albino buck sprinting across a road in Wisconsin's Northwoods has taken Instagram by storm, a sight so rare that even lifelong outdoorsmen say they may never witness it twice. Instagram user @joelord_wi posted the footage this week, showing a full-racked albino whitetail deer bolting across a Wisconsin road in broad daylight. The clip spread fast, and it is easy to see why. Albino whitetails are strikingly unusual animals, ghostly white from nose to tail, with a full set of antlers that makes this particular buck even harder to dismiss as a trick of the light. The person behind the camera seemed to grasp the moment. In the Instagram caption, @joelord_wi wrote: "Well I hope this was a good omen for fishing this…Open
HUD and the Justice Department jointly scrapped a 2013 Obama-era policy that exposed homebuilders to indefinite legal liability over accessibility flaws, a mandate officials say added hundreds of millions in costs and choked off affordable housing.

HUD and the Justice Department jointly scrapped a 2013 Obama-era policy that exposed homebuilders to indefinite legal liability over accessibility flaws, a mandate officials say added hundreds of millions in costs and choked off affordable housing. HUD Secretary Scott Turner and Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Craig Trainor moved to replace the old enforcement framework with strict filing deadlines that mirror what Congress actually wrote into the Fair Housing Act more than three decades ago. Under the new guidance, individuals and advocacy groups now face a one-year window to file administrative complaints with HUD, starting from the date a building receives its certificate of occupancy. Private federal…Open

Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller filed a sworn statement denying he used Meta smart glasses to secretly record his ex-wife's attorneys during a July custody hearing, the latest flashpoint in a legal battle marked by abuse accusations, admitted false statements, and a pattern of covert recordings. Emily Moreno's legal team demanded Miller hand over the glasses for inspection after spotting him wearing them before a July 28 court hearing in the couple's child custody dispute. In a filing last week, her attorneys pointed out that Miller had never worn any sort of eyewear to a hearing before, and that Meta's smart glasses can record audio and video. Miller's lawyers fired back late last week with a sworn statement from the congressman…Open
U.S. officials are defending their work with Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt in the unprecedented White House move to effectively gain control over huge oilfields in the country. Why it matters: Betancourt is the colorful and controversial figure who heads North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), the oil company partnering with the administration in the agreement that gives the U.S. preferential access to output from 17 major fields. - The Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital is taking a 35% equity stake in the company. - The U.S. also has the rights to buy 20% of the oil at cost after the company pays its taxes to Venezuela.
