FILE - In this March 30, 2013 file photo more than 100 patients of Dr. W. Scott Harrington line up outside the Tulsa Health Department North Regional Health and Wellness Center to be screened for hepatitis and the virus that causes AIDS, in Tulsa, Okla. A Tulsa-area patient whose hepatitis C diagnosis led Oklahoma to close two dental clinics, has sued Dr. W. Scott Harrington, claiming the dentist deliberately used rusty instruments and re-used contaminated drug vials leading to the infection. Health officials shut down Harrington’s practices last year, and the investigation into the clinics continues. (AP Photo/Tulsa World, James Gibbard, File) ONLINE OUT; TV OUT; TULSA OUT

This undated image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park shows the iron and wood steamship City of Chester. In 1888, on a trip from the San Francisco bay to Eureka, the Chester was split in two by a ship more than twice its size, killing 16 people and becoming the bay's second-worst maritime disaster. Now, more than a century later, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration team has found the shipwreck. The team came upon the wreckage in 217 feet of water just inside the Golden Gate while it was charting shipping channels.

FILE - This Dec. 11, 2013 file photo shows National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Deborah Hersman speaking in Washington. An effort by government and industry to make the tank cars used to ship crude oil and ethanol safer, spurred by a series of fiery train crashes, is becoming mired in squabbling and finger-pointing. The Department of Transportation, concerned about the potential for catastrophic accidents involving oil and ethanol trains that are sometimes as many as 100 cars long, is drafting new tank car regulations aimed at making the cars less likely to spill their contents in the event of a crash. But final regulations aren’t expected until the end of the year at the earliest, and it is common for such government rulemakings to drag on for years. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)
