1. Sailor Missing for 66 Days Rescued by Coast Guard in Atlantic

A sailor who was reported missing for more than two months was discovered by the U.S. Coast Guard 200 miles off the coast of North Carolina, authorities said.

The family of Louis Jordan, 37, reported on Jan. 29 to the Coast Guard that he and his ship "Angel" were missing. In audio released by the Coast Guard, Jordan's father told his son that they thought he was dead.

"Oh man, nice to hear your voice," said his father, Frank Jordan. "People've been praying for you."

2. Takeaways From the Iran Nuclear Deal: Who Got What

As details emerged Thursday of the interim agreement reached between six world powers and Iran over principles for rolling back its nuclear program, the question on everyone’s mind is which way did the scales tip?

While President Obama acknowledged a formal agreement won't be signed until June, ABC News breaks down the essential elements of who got what at the end of the eight-day marathon negotiations in Switzerland.

3. Indiana, Arkansas Governors Sign 'Religious Freedom' Clarifications into Law

Governors in Indiana and Arkansas signed bills clarifying their state's controversial "religious freedom" laws, which critics said gave business owners a legal defense to discriminate against members of the LGBT community.

A "fix" to Indiana's law was proposed this morning before passing through the legislature and making its way to Gov. Mike Pence. The update, as released by Indiana GOP lawmakers earlier in the day, states that the religious freedom law does not allow any business to deny service to any customer, including on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Pence said in a statement that “resolving this controversy, making clear that every person feels welcome and respected in our state is best for Indiana."

4. Los Angeles Dodgers Star Yasiel Puig Involved in Scary Collision

Los Angeles Dodgers star outfielder Yasiel Puig collided with teammate Howie Kendrick during a Thursday exhibition game and ended up leaving the game.

The players collided during the fifth inning of the game against the Los Angeles Angels while trying to catch a fly ball hit by Mike Trout. Kendrick, playing second base, drifted into the outfield. Puig started sprinting when he noticed Kendrick wasn’t in position to make the catch – and while doing so, his face and throat collided with Kendrick’s elbow.

5. Preemie Twins Finally Go Home for First Holiday as Family

Now home with newborn twin girls and her toddler, Heidi Morrison remembers a time when she was thrilled to see baby poop.

That's because one of the twins, Josie, developed a deadly infection after she was born, causing scar tissue to develop in her bowel, completely blocking it. After spending three more weeks in the hospital than her twin sister did, the two are finally home and ready to celebrate their first holiday on Easter Sunday.

"Every day we'd go in say 'Has she pooped?' Now, we’re wading in it," Morrison laughed. "We're so happy to just have her home."
