File - In this Feb. 22, 2011 file photo, Assemblywoman Nora Campos, D- San Jose, discusses her proposed measure that, if approved, will require California health regulators to establish a standard level for Hexavalent chromium in state drinking water supplies during a Capitol news conference in Sacramento, Calif., Monday, Feb. 22, 2011. Federal regulators says California's Department of Public Health has failed to spend about half a billion dollars of federal money meant to improve water infrastructure in the state at a time when thousands of Californians rely on groundwater laced with nitrates and other contaminants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a letter of noncompliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act to the state on Friday April 19, 2013. It shows California failed to spend $455 million from the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, the largest unspent sum in the nation. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)

This Monday, April 15, 2013 electron microscope image provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the H7N9 virus which can take on a variety of shapes. Almost three weeks after China reported finding a new strain of bird flu in humans, experts are still stumped by how people are becoming infected when many appear to have had no recent contact with live fowl and the virus isn't supposed to pass from person to person. Understanding how the H7N9 bird flu virus is spreading is a goal of international and Chinese experts assembled by the World Health Organization as they begin a weeklong investigation Friday, April 18, 2013.
