Treasure Coast officials rescued eight people from the waters off Waveland Beach in St. Lucie County on Sunday after their boat overturned, sending two pregnant women and six men from Cuba overboard after more than 16 days at sea. The victims had been traveling on a makeshift vessel made of foam, metal rods and a Kia car engine, officials and eyewitnesses said. Video taken by helicopter shows the boat as it gets tossed and overturned by waves with passengers huddled in jackets and raincoats. The footage shows the overturned boat floating near shore and at least one person being carried out of the water and three people. St. Lucie County sheriff’s officials said Monday federal agents were holding the men and women.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the UT System Board of Regents on the cusp of finalizing a deal with new UT-Austin football coach Steve Sarkisian, university officials have dodged questions from the American-Statesman about whether any minority candidates were approached for the job. University rules say that a hiring institution such as UT-Austin must include an underrepresented group candidate when interviewing for executive administrator jobs, such as athletic director or dean. The UT football head coaching post is the most highly paid and among the most visible public jobs in the state of Texas. Sarkisian’s six-year guaranteed contract is worth approximately $34.2 million.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
