A U.S. Airways flight bound for Los Angeles was forced to land in Albuquerque Tuesday night after a passenger stripped naked and refused to get dressed.

Decommissioned U.S. Navy warship USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg was sunk Wednesday morning 6 ˝ miles off Key West in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to become the world's second-largest artificial coral reef.

A total 42 explosive charges were used to create a pattern of holes in the side of the ship and its decks sending it 140 feet deep into its final resting place in the Gulf of Mexico in less than two minutes. The Artificial Reefs of the Keys led the $8.6 million project to make the Vandenberg an artificial reef.

The school opted to have a separate ceremony that included only the students, their families, and university officials. A videotape of the event was broadcast during graduation ceremonies for the more than 1,300 seniors receiving degrees.

Billionaire Tim Blixseth, founder of the Yellowstone Club, will be tried in civil court starting Wednesday, following accusations that he misappropriated a loan meant for the club, and used it for personal luxury.
