NILE, Wash. (AP) — A gigantic landslide that buried a highway, uprooted homes and rerouted a river in Washington state's Cascade Range left hundreds of smaller victims: fish.

The landslide that inundated the Naches River last month created a barrier of millions of cubic yards of silt, mud and rock that slowed — and likely confused — spawning salmon and hungry trout. Then workers opened a freshly dug river channel that stranded small fish in ponds and marshes.

GROTON, Conn. (AP) — The crew of a U.S. submarine made dozens of errors before the vessel collided with an American warship in the Persian Gulf, an accident that exposed lax leaders who tolerated sleeping, slouching and a radio room rigged with music speakers, a Navy review found.

Navy investigators placed blame for the March collision on the submarine's "ineffective and negligent command leadership," including what they called a lack of standards and failure to adequately prepare for navigating the busy Strait of Hormuz.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Somali pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama for the second time in seven months on Wednesday, but guards on board the U.S.-flagged cargo ship repelled the takeover attempt, the EU's naval force said.

Pirates hijacked the Maersk Alabama last April and took ship captain Richard Phillips hostage, holding him at gunpoint in a lifeboat for five days. Navy SEAL sharpshooters freed Phillips while killing three pirates in a daring nighttime attack.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Interested buyers are getting the chance to bid on a vintage 55-foot yacht and two smaller boats that were once owned by imprisoned financier Bernard Madoff.

Madoff's 1969 Rybovich sportfisher, a 38-foot Shelter Island runabout and a 24-foot Maverick center console are headed for auction in South Florida on Tuesday. Bids will also be taken on Madoff's black 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 convertible and a 61-foot fishing yacht that was formerly owned by his right-hand man.

MADRID (AP) — A judge indicted two suspected Somali pirates captured in connection with the hijacking of a Spanish tuna trawler, moving Monday for swift resolution of a case that is prolonging the six-week hostage crisis.

Fellow pirates are holding the Alakrana and its crew of 36 just off the coast of Somalia. Besides a ransom, the hijackers are demanding the release of the two colleagues in custody in Madrid as a condition for freeing the vessel and the sailors. They were captured Oct. 2 in open waters of the Indian Ocean.

KOKONOGI, Japan (AP) — A blood-orange blob the size of a small refrigerator emerged from the dark waters, its venomous tentacles trapped in a fishing net. Within minutes, hundreds more were being hauled up, a pulsating mass crowding out the catch of mackerel and sea bass.

The fishermen leaned into the nets, grunting and grumbling as they tossed the translucent jellyfish back into the bay, giants weighing up to 200 kilograms (450 pounds), marine invaders that are putting the men's livelihoods at risk.
