Connecticut Police still holding back on Sandy Hook A prosecutor is planning to release a report Monday on the investigation of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., but the public will have to wait longer for the state police's full accounting of the crime. The decision to continue withholding the bulk of the evidence is stirring new criticism of the secrecy that has surrounded the inquiry since a gunman killed 20 children and six educators at the school on Dec. 14, 2012. Although the gunman took his own life and authorities are not contemplating any prosecutions, the lead investigator, State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, has gone to court to fight the release of 911 tapes, consulted privately with victims" families on what might be included in the report and resisted calls from Connecticut's governor to divulge more information sooner. Investigators have cited the scale of the criminal investigation and consideration for the victims" families, some of whom have lobbied for tighter restrictions on public information and complained of being harassed by conspiracy theorists.

N.Y. putting food waste to use: New York City says that more than 2,500 tons of restaurant food waste has been diverted from landfills in the past six months - for use as compost or donations to food banks. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) said the food came from 100 restaurants that are participating in the voluntary Food Waste Challenge. He said the city aims to expand the program to hotels, stadiums and other large producers of food waste. Food that is unsellable - for instance, misshaped pies - goes to food banks rather than being thrown out.
