Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said his budget doesn't include increased spending for fracking regulation because DEC hasn't completed its environmental review and decided whether to end a 4 1/2-year-old moratorium.

Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. James Stockman said last week that dismantling the USS Guardian was determined to be the best solution and would involve the least damage to the Tubbataha Reef, a protected marine sanctuary where the ship got stuck Jan. 17. Damage to the reef is now estimated by officials to be more than 4,000 square meters. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
