Molson Employees Rise to the Défi Climat
Molson has reached its objective of encouraging at least 250 of its Montreal employees to register in Défi Climat (with one week left to go the campaign).
Défi Climat (literally The Climate Challenge) is a Montreal awareness campaign for climate change, running from March 20 to April 24, 2009. Almost 300 participating local companies and institutions are targeting their employees/students (for a total of more than 40,000 individuals) to invite them to register and commit to making practical lifestyle changes, among a list of recommended actions.
To promote the visibility of this campaign, we held a successful launch event featuring a keynote presentation by Emmanuelle Géhin, head of OZONE and one of 250 Canadians trained by former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore on climate change issues.
Watch the video to see highlights of the launch
[youtube wUEn6OM3E0o]
Daniel Pelland our Chief Brewing Officer at Molson (it's a cool title isn't?) was also recently featured in French-language business weekly Les Affaires on the strength of the results of our Energy Conservation Program.
At Molson we are bolstering our commitment to sustainable development by focusing on increased employee awareness throughout our Brewery Energy Conservation Campaign - The Power to Make a Difference. Also, we support this commitment by readily participating in environmental initiatives such as: Défi Climat, Earth Hour (for the second year) or by organizing activities in our offices such as our second annual Energy Efficiency Week which will be held next week – from April 20 to 25, in all our breweries here in Canada and in fact for the first time this year our colleagues at Molson Coors Breweries in the United Kingdom will be organizing their own brewery energy week also next week.
We will keep you posted on those and also on our final pledge results for Défi- climat. In fact I'd like to see Defi Climat become a nationwide initiative next year, don't you agree?

Makanan & minuman Ko Chang
Similar to most other Thai beach destinations, Koh Chang has a variety of dining options for visitors, though prices may be slightly higher as the relatively remote location requires restaurants to pay a bit more for their supplies. While most resorts will serve a variety of Thai and international dishes and frequently host beachside seafood barbeques, there are a number of international restaurants serving fairly authentic Indian, Italian, and other foreign cuisines, particularly around (Haad Sai Khao) White Sand Beach. If you are looking to sample something specific to Koh Chang, you can look out for Koh Chang wine, which may not be top shelf, but comes in a variety of flavors, including mangosteen and pineapple. For those looking to learn some Thai cooking skills, try a cooking class at the Blue Lagoon in Khlong Phrao.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A 32-year old man is expected to be arraigned Friday in connection with threats made to a group of children at an elementary school in Portland Wednesday afternoon
Derek Weeks is accused of making racial slurs and threatening to kill a group of student who participating in an after school program.
School officials say the families of the seven students who were allegedly threatened by Weeks were notified about the incident last night.
Thursday, several of the students and family members met with guidance counselors to talk about the incident. English is second language for more than half of the students at the school, some of the countries they immigrated from include Kenya, Iraq and Somalia.
Officials say the school has not had any racial issue in the past so the alleged threats caught them off guard. The school considers itself part of the neighborhood and has what's called an 'open playground' but parents say to find out that another parent is allegedly responsible is shocking.
'It's kind of scary, I shared it on my Facebook' page because this is multi-cultural ara and for someone to come into our environment and say something like that, say Tracy Banville the mother of a third grader at the school.
Weeks is currently being held on 250-thousand dollars bond, he could go before a judge Friday.

UPDATE: Pinellas County Schools officials said James Seevakumaran graduated from Seminole High School in 2001. They added that he also attended Seminole Elementary School and Seminole Middle School.
Seminole, Florida -- Students arriving at Seminole High School on Tuesday will hear about a former student at the center of a nightmare that was narrowly avoided.
We've learned James Seevakumaran had been a student at Seminole High School before studying business at the University of Central Florida.
See also:UCF student had plotted mass killing
He also spent time in a neighborhood in the City of Seminole. 10 News spoke with people in that community.
While no one was willing to talk with us on camera, one neighbor did tell us Seevakumaran was "weird." Others said he was "quiet."
Police in Orlando say Seevakumaran had gathered four explosive devices, a pair of guns, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
He had drawn up a plan to launch a Virginia Tech-style rampage from his dorm at UCF, where he had stopped paying his bills and was about to be evicted.
Photos: UCF dorm evacuated
"We found some notes and some writing that indicated this was a planned attack," UCF Police Chief Richard Beary said.
"This individual had laid out a timeline, and laid out some of what we feel were going to be his actions."
But officers say it looks like he wasn't ready for a quick police response to his first steps.
He pulled the fire alarm early Monday morning -- police think he did it to get everyone out in the open -- and then pointed a gun at a roommate.
That roommate ran, hid in a bathroom, and called 911.
Within minutes of those warning signs early Monday, officers were arriving at the dorm,and the 30-year old student shot himself.
According to UCF, Seevakumaran was in the process of being evicted from his room for not paying his university fees.
Freshman Winston Lightbody heard the commotion inside the dorm and was evacuated with 500 other students, stunned by what cops found.
"You never know who has bombs or who has guns," Lightbody said.
"It could have been a very bad day for everyone here. All things considered, I think we were very blessed here at the University of Central Florida," Chief Beary said.

Athletes are not heroes. Let's make that abundantly clear.
Superman. Hercules. Luke Skywalker.
They are heroes.
Heroes and heroines date back to the Greek mythology and ancient Greek religion. The term hero and heroine grew from there, becoming more loosely used along the way.
Originally, and most significantly, heroes and heroines were personified by bravery, courage and self-sacrifice. Such traits are some of the most pure and humane characteristics we can hope to attain. Bravery and courage require maturity, confidence and an internal sense of strength. Self-sacrifice puts one's personal gains aside for the greater good of humanity. Selflessness rids our nation of utter tyranny or anarchy.
Why do we cheer for heroes?
No one wants to be a villain. We all want to be liked in this world. Acceptance drives positivity, and positivity illuminates happiness.
No one dreams of being a pariah. We all have an innate desire to cheer for good over evil. Our society magnifies this predisposition, through our culture, the movies, and of course, sports.
Athletes are not heroes.
Barry Bonds. Roger Clemens. Michael Vick.
Lance Armstrong.
Manti Te'o.
They all made mistakes. They are not infallible. They are not immortal.
Because, they are people.
The term "hero" is flimsily used in sports. When St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese hit the game-winning home run in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, he was proclaimed "the hero" because he "saved the day."
Sports can feel like war. In that moment, just for a few seconds, maybe Freese personified a hero with his courage to swing the bat, knowing if he missed, the Cardinals would lose. His effort served his team and Cardinals fans.
That's where the analogy ends. When Freese touched home plate that night, he was mortal again and pervious to the same moral and ethical code we all live by.
Role models are the closest thing we have to heroes.
They inspire us. They motivate us. And, we forgive them for being human.
Many kids dream of becoming professional athletes. That's great.
Many kids look up to the current stars in pro sports. That's scary.
The sports industry has never been puppies and flowers, but dozens of athletes have been humiliated and humanized with drug testing, camera phones and lawsuits.
Lance Armstrong and Manti Te'o are the latest editions to the mortality of sports. Armstrong came clean to Oprah about taking performance enhancing drugs. Te'o claimed he was the victim of a hoax that involved a non-existent girlfriend dying of leukemia.
They are two completely different stories with different victims and different degrees of national relevance. But, both stories are linked by one humane quality Armstrong, nor Te'o, exhibited: proper judgment.
Many kids idolize the LeBrons, the Jeters, the Crosbys of the sporting world. None of whom are model citizens either.
Some idolize a guy who was connected to a murder.Some idolize a guy who kicks players in the head and groin. Some idolize drug abusers, domestic abusers, adulterers and dogfighting conspirators.
Who they idolize is their own right, but it is my utmost hope, children remember the true role models.
Role models do not have to wear a jersey. They are the ones who make our community and our world a better place.
Parents, doctors, soldiers. Just to name a few.
They're the ones who serve and protect mankind, so the rest of us can enjoy our daily lives.
Are they perfect? No, no one's perfect.
But, in our mortal world, they're as close to heroes as we can get.

The gun buy back program has collected and destroyed over 400 pistols, rifles, shotguns and semi-automatic assault weapons since its inception. U.S. President Barack Obama recently unveiled a package of gun control proposals that include universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

CANTON A former Canton woman pleaded guilty Tuesday in St. Lawrence County Court to having sex with a 13-year-old boy on the Fourth of July.
Amanda L. Matott, 24, of 3626 County Route 14, Madrid, waived her right to have her case go before a St. Lawrence County grand jury for indictment and pleaded guilty to the Supreme Court information charging her with third-degree rape, a class E felony, in a plea deal.
She was arrested Aug. 9 following a multiagency investigation that included the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services and Child Protective Department, which began in July and concluded that Matott, formerly of Canton Manor Apartments, served a 13-year-old alcohol before engaging in sexual activity.
In court Tuesday, she told County Judge Jerome J. Richards that she had sex with the minor on July 4. The admission was made as a part of the plea deal that is to include a split sentence of jail time and probation as well as sex offender registration. A no-contact order of protection was issued in favor of the boy.
Sentencing was scheduled for July 7, and Matott was released under continued probation supervision.
In other court action Tuesday:
Bernard W. Phillips II, 40, of 70 Hull Road, Gouverneur, was sentenced to five years probation and five days in St. Lawrence County jail after his Feb. 10 guilty plea to felony aggravated driving while intoxicated.
Mr. Phillips had a 0.20 percent blood alcohol content while driving Aug. 27 on Route 56 in the town of Norfolk. A BAC of 0.08 percent or higher constitutes proof of intoxication under state law. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more.
He previously was convicted of misdemeanor DWI on July 21, 2010, in Norfolk Town Court.
In addition to his probation and jail sentence, Mr. Phillips was ordered to pay $2,070 in fines, fees and surcharges.
James A. Regan, 24, Hannibal, was placed on one year of interim probation after his Sept. 17 guilty plea to the violent felony of second-degree assault.
Mr. Regan choked and assaulted his mother during a May 14 domestic incident at his former 38 Gouverneur St. residence.
If he is successful in completing his interim probation, he will not receive jail time.
Sentencing was adjourned to April 6, when he will be ordered to pay $1,376.74 in restitution and court fines, fees and surcharges totaling $137.67. Probation supervision was transferred to Oswego County, where Mr. Regan is living at Arbor House, a 16-bed community residence for people in recovery from a chemical dependence.
Tami S. Skeldon, 42, of 16 Hillcrest Drive, Star Lake, was sentenced to five years probation after her Feb. 10 guilty plea to aggravated DWI.
On June 20, on County Route 60 in the town of Clifton, Ms. Skeldon crashed her vehicle into a rock embankment while she had a 0.10 percent BAC with a 13-year-old passenger.
In addition to her probation sentence, she was ordered to pay court fines, fees and surcharges totaling $2,070
Robert J. Driscoll, 29, of 2 Rowley St., Gouverneur, was returned on a warrant for violating his Dec. 20 sentence of five years probation after his June 14 guilty plea to felony DWI.
As a part of his probation sentence, Mr. Driscoll was ordered not to disobey any local, state or federal laws. On Sunday he was charged by Ogdensburg city police with three counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Police said they responded to a domestic incident in Ogdensburg involving Mr. Driscoll. When police searched him, they said, they found him in possession of hydrocodone, zolpidem and alprazolam.
Judge Richards sent him back to St. Lawrence County jail, where he is being held without bail.

Eating Iowa-caught fish is SAFE!
The vast majority of Iowa's streams, rivers and lakes offer safe and high-quality fish that pose little or no threat to human health if consumed. In fact, over 4.5 million meals of Iowa fish were consumed in 2007. Some limitations regarding fish consumption may apply for young children and pregnant women. Here's a Fish Consumption Fact Sheet from the Iowa DNR and the Iowa Dept. of Public Health for more information. Here is a list of current fish consumption advisories for Iowa lakes and rivers.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
"Those Brokeback Mountain gay cowboys are really sheepherders," Uncle Spud said with a big smile. "I heard it yesterday from a liberated woman who actually paid to see the show."
"What difference does that make?" I asked.
"Lots of difference," Uncle spud said, "Only Hollywood people would call sheepherders cowboys. They don't know the difference out there on the left coast."
"Lets not say anything bad about sheepherders," I warned. "Some of my best friends have been mutton conductors. The Wasatch Behind was settled by a bunch of Greek, Italian, and French sheepherders. This valley is one of the few places Brigham Young didn't want. He left it to the coyotes, outlaws, and immigrant sheep men. We have a long and proud tradition of working with woolies here."
"I know all about it," Uncle Spud said. "In fact, you probably didn't know that Utah was originally named after a sheep. She was an especially sweet and doe-eyed little ewe �or so I've been told. Our great state was originally named Ewe-tah, in her honor."
"You have got to get more air," I said as I jerked open a window. "Your cooling fan must have quit and your brains are melting down from lack of oxygen."
"Oh no," he insisted, "It's true. Utah wasn't spelled with a "U" until after we applied for statehood. To license all of those state vehicles we had to have the name of the state on the license plates. The couth control cops who run the vanity license plate office said that the name Ewe-tah was inappropriate. Some super citizen might associate that name with animal cruelty, barnyard blasphemy, or bestiality. I guess it must be true. No one ever pulled the wool over the eyes of the Utah couth control cops."
"So what does all this have to do with gay cowboys and brokeback mountain?" I asked, secretly hoping that he wouldn't go there.
"Nothing really," Uncle Spud said, "but I thought you might like to know that we are entering phase two of this brokeback mountain thing already."
"Phase two?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. "The Hollywood people have a four phased agenda at work here. The first phase is to release the movie. Phase two is to generate all types of celebrity endorsements. Phase three is to give the movie all sorts of awards. Phase four is to label everyone who didn't buy a ticket as bigots and homophobes. After all, it's destined to be a classic, award winning movie."
"I think we went to phase four right after I wrote that first brokeback mountain column a couple of weeks ago," I said. "You should have read my mail."
"It's sure to get worse after this one," he smiled, "but we are only in the celebrity endorsement phase so far. In fact, to help move the alternative lifestyle agenda along, Willie Nelson has recorded a gay cowboy song. He said the song has been in his closet for 20 years and the timing is right to release it now."
"I'll bet he didn't sing it at the Grand Ole Opry." I said with a smile.
"You got that right," Uncle Spud chuckled. "A guy might experience serious stage fright singing a gay cowboy song at the Grand Ole Opry. Actually, he put it out on the Howard Stern satellite radio program on Valentine's Day. Guys like Stern understand these things."
"So what does a gay cowboy song sound like?" I asked as I opened another window and drew water to wash my hands.
"Well," Uncle Spud said, "It's a pretty typical Willie Nelson song, sort of a cross between Janis Joplin and Hank Williams. The lyrics are a little bizarre. One line says that inside every cowboy there's a lady who would love to slip out."
"Inside every cowboy?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That's what the song says," Uncle Spud grinned.
"You had better let her out or she's going to get sick from that dirty T-shirt you're wearing," I said.
"Naw," he laughed. "If she's been there all these years she ain't goin' nowhere now."
"How does Willie know there's a woman inside every cowboy?" I asked.
"Willie's a guy who should know," Uncle Spud smiled. "He's been wearing pigtails like Raggedy Ann since the early 1970s.
"Bummer." I said.

Exact measurements, both inside and outside the commercial kitchen, can play a pretty important part in saving you money while cutting down on product waste. Fortunately, receiving scales keep those measurements as exact as they can be, and having a few working for you in your receiving area can make all the difference. Great for loading docks and warehouse areas where product and packages are always on the move or when nestled into a corner of your back line, receiving scales are the perfect way to eliminate your worries when it comes to keeping your books on point and your product where it needs to be.

Beverly Rubik, Mind Body Medicine
Beverly RubikMind-Body Medicine Faculty
In 1980, Beverly Rubik was a faculty member at San Francisco State University, and received a grant to do research on subtle energy healing.The university administrator told her that they couldn't accept it because "there's no such phenomenon."
She managed to channel the grant through another institution, and was able to keep her research going despite the refusal of much of the academic establishment back then to accept verifiable results that it couldn't understand.
Things have changed:in 2002, 22 yeas later, she obtained a substantial grant to study subtle energy healing, now known as "biofield therapy" in a much larger context – this time from the National Institutes of Health.
It's as official a stamp as you can get that there is a phenomenon worth investigating – and that Beverly Rubik, now a faculty member at Saybrook, is in the forefront of its study.
Founder of the Institute for Frontier Science, a nonprofit laboratory in Emeryville, CA, Rubik has been applying rigorous methods to the study of Mind Body Medicine for decades … long before the field received widespread public acceptance.
"We don't have a great theory about what happens in much of Mind Body Medicine, but we have more and more empirical research that supports its effectiveness," she says."The best research is peer reviewed, it's rigorous, there are numerous controls and a lot of steps involved to create strong research protocols– that's what I try to do, and that's what I try to get my students involved in."
One of the foremost researchers on the subtle energy fields, which may be one of the links between mind and body, Beverly has received government, academic, and corporate grants for her research – and sat on NIH advisory panels.She has led community programs in holistic health, and serves as a consultant to industry on the safety and efficacy of nutrition and other wellness products.Published in numerous journals, she also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Today Beverly uses the Institute for Frontier Science to support a variety of high caliber Mind Body Medicine research projects, and continues to focus much of her own research on the human biofield.
"We need to investigate the enormous power of mind," she says."We also need to go deeper and think about extended concepts of mind at the level of the person, family, and community and see how they impact health.People want this kind of medicine, and my work at the institute, my teaching at Saybrook – this is all to help bring it out into the world.It's pretty clear there's a huge need."

Dear microburins,
While this blog tries to maintain an even keel between serious archaeology and flooded human lives (our rivers have been very high this week and it was, despite blight, insightful to see many palaeo-lakes reforming in the Yorkshire countryside), there is a debate—quite a serious one—around Mesolithic mobility and territories in the north of England.
Did we span east and west across the Pennine watershed backbone? Did we span north and south back in the post-glacial? How does Wolds, Lincolnshire and Trent flint find its way up to Northumberland, and Pennine chert to the uplands of eastern England (North York Moors)? These journeys were greater than 100km through dense Holocene forests, river valleys, lakelands and uplands. At an estimated 0.01 persons per kilometre, how did reproductive relations within a heathy "gene pool" happen, and where? Did they? Was there aggregation—and if there was, where, how and by what social means and context? Can we find evidence? Are the "persistent places" in the Pennines and North York Moors evocative of the gathering of communities, or simply the familiar places revisited by small groups over several millenia?
While you chew over these para-anomolies, please find humour in these case studies:
- The Yorkshire case | Youtube 3m51s
- The Lancashire case | Youtube 2m30s
- How to find The North | Youtube 43s
You decide? Where did culture originate, coagulate and separate 12,000 years ago? I believe the evidence is embedded, negotiated and mediated within our contemporary soap operas:
- Emmerdale, Yorkshire | 29s
- Coronation Street, Lancashire | 1m29s

To Age or Not To Age
Aging and death are not the absolutes we once thought they were. "To Age or Not to Age," tracks the pioneers in the field of anti-aging research at Harvard, MIT, Cambridge and other research centers. The scientists featured in the film have found the means to postpone and possibly mitigate diseases tied to aging and even get rid of and reverse aging itself. That this can be done no longer seems in doubt. The only real question nowadays is "For how long?" While "To Age or Not to Age" profiles the science of aging, it also addresses some of the moral, religious, practical and economic implications of increased lifespan. If we can postpone aging, should we? Or are we arrogantly challenging the laws of nature?

Climate change affects life in every biome, from the apex of the Arctic food chain to the tropical sea floor. The tiny creatures that are the building blocks of coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to rising ocean temperatures. During prolonged periods of surface warming, many coral species discharge the algae that live within their tissues—the same organisms that give them their stunning colors—and "bleach." This leaves the reefs white and sickly. If the stress is not too severe and lessens, the affected corals can regain their algae and recover. But if it persists, the corals will die. Researchers still have much to learn about the long-term impacts of this phenomenon.
WCS scientists studying the reefs in the Indian Ocean off Africa's east coast have found that corals with the best chances of survival live in seas with wide-ranging seasonal temperatures. These hardier reefs tend to be located in the "shadow" of islands, protected from the oceanic currents that keep temperatures stable in more fragile reef ecosystems. Our scientists are now mapping the global stress on corals in the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
WCS researchers are also determining how human communities living adjacent to reefs in southern Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar adapt to the impacts of climate change. When reefs die off, their valuable fish stocks disappear and tourism dollars dry up. WCS is working to improve coral reef fishery management to relieve stress on these ecosystems. Ultimately, conservationists hope to help provide wider economic opportunities to local communities dependent on reef fishing.
In addition, WCS researchers are finding ways to help reduce the negative impacts of climate change and potentially increase the resilience of marine ecosystems by managing fishing gear. Different types of equipment used by artisanal fishers target fish with various effects on the coral reef ecosystem. At our study sites in Papua New Guinea and Kenya, WCS has observed that traps and spear guns target many species that are highly susceptible to coral mortality, based on their role in the food chain and their reliance on the reef for shelter and other needs. Conservationists hope that by selectively banning or restricting certain fishing gear that damage coral reef ecology, they can develop a powerful tool to combat the detrimental effects of climate change.
Coral reef fisheries expert Dr. Tim McClanahan highlights the resilience of coral reefs and the conservation efforts that will help them adapt to changing conditions.
As global leaders convene in Durban, South Africa to tackle climate change, WCS coral reef fisheries expert Dr. Tim McClanahan and his colleague Dr. Joshua Cinner urge action on behalf of the world's fishing communities dependent upon the increasingly threatened bounty of warming tropical seas.
A new study identifies a better way to determine if coral ecosystems are in danger of collapse.
WCS marine scientists provide a color code for coral conservation by mapping out the stress loads of the world's reefs.
WCS has developed a stress test to map out which coral reefs will have the best chance of surviving through the climate change era.
A new study says that banning certain types of fishing gear can help save coral reefs from the damaging effects of climate change, by protecting key fish populations that help stressed reefs recover.
In the face of warming ocean waters due to climate change, some coral reefs off East Africa are demonstrating unusual resiliency. A WCS study shows that successful fisheries management is key.
WCS researchers find that coral reefs next to middle class communities in East Africa have far fewer fish than the reefs in either poor or affluent communities.
A combination of improved management and natural regeneration is helping corals stage a rapid comeback in Indonesia following the December 2004 tsunami.
A WCS study finds that the prospects of coral reefs in the age of climate change have improved. Reefs living in sites with variable temperatures are better able to survive warm water.
In the longest running study of its kind, WCS scientists found that to maintain a healthy coral reef, heavily exploited fish need a long break from nets and lines.

Video: 18 Patients at Buffalo VA Test Positive for Hepatitis
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Congressman Chris Collins' office says at least 18 patients at the Buffalo VA Hospital have tested positive for Hepatitis due possibly due to insulin pens that may have been reused.
Congressman Chris Collins' office says 12 veterans tested positive for Hepatitis B and six tested positive for Hepatitis C.
According to officials the VA says there is no way of knowing how the patient contracted Hepatitis.
Collins' office was part of a briefing regarding the exposure. They shared these numbers they received to 2 On Your Side
• Of the 716 veterans possibly exposed, 174 passed away prior to the alert
• Of those living, 394 veterans have been tested
• 12 tested positive for HEP B (VA says there is no way of knowing if this exposure is how the patient contracted disease)
• 6 tested positive for HEP C (VA says there is no way of knowing if this exposure is how the patient contracted disease)
• 27 results still pending
• VA still trying to contact 94 veterans to get tested
• 26 refused to be tested
In January, the VA Hospital alerted patients that insulin pens were mistakenly reused and that there was a chance that patients may have been exposed.
Olean General Hospital also alerted some 1,900 patients who were treated with an insulin pen between November, 2009 and January 16th, 2013. Hospital officials at Olean General emphasized there is no documentation of the transmission of any blood borne infections during the stay of any patient who received insulin during that time, and the hospital has not identified a single patient who ever received an injection from another patient's insulin pen.
Collins calls the error at the VA Hospital an unfortunate circumstance that did not need to happen. He is calling for changes at the VA from the top down.
"Frankly, I would call on the President. Some heads need to roll here," says Collins.
The VA has stopped using the pens all together, which Collins says doesn't make sense because as long as you reuse a pen with a single patient, there is no risk of exposure.
"They just said oh, it's a knee jerk reaction let's just not use them at all. Well, that's just passing up on potential savings if they're used properly," says Collins.
The infected veterans will get treatment, which varies from patient to patient, as do the symptoms.
"Usually Hepatitis B goes away and you're cured of it. Your body just cures itself. Hepatitis C, often you have no symptoms for years and then you can develop symptoms such as cirrhosis of the liver and you can actually get liver cancer from it, but very often there are no symptoms from Hepatitis C though," says former Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Anthony Billittier.
And, while the patients will never know if they got Hepatitis at the VA Hospital, Collins says one thing is for certain.
"I'm sure the families and patients involved are going to certainly allege that this was a direct result of the re-use of those pens. So, the taxpayers are at risk here. I wouldn't doubt for a minute there won't be lawsuits that would come forward," he says.

Designer - LLL Creations
Hello fellow scrappers! My name is Lil and I've been digital scrapbooking since 2002 when I discovered I could recreate the look of a traditional scrapbook digitally. My creative side took over and I fell in love with graphics programs and designing for my own scrapbooks. The ideas for my kits come from the oddest places. It could be a picture on a wall in a restaurant or a cloud in the sky. I take the opportunity wherever I go to look around to find an idea for my next project.
My style of scrapbooking is for the photo to be the main focus on the page. The word art or embellishments are there to help tell the story but I want the main focus to be the picture. Scrapbooking is such a great way to preserve your memories. I hope you enjoy my work.
Come on over and join me on my facebook page …

As Samuel Johnson sort of said, when a woman is tired of shoes, she must be tired of life. If that's true, weÂ're going to live to be super-centenarians, as we simply never get footwear fatigue. The latest style to make our hearts raceÂ--wooden platformsÂ--also happens to be one of the most inclusive and adaptable shoe trends for spring. We kid you not: regardless of whether you like 'em sleek or strappy, flush to the ground or fantastically tall, there's a perfect pair (at an ideal price) out there, just waiting for to become your Obsession du Jour too!
We first got giddy about wooden platforms when we spotted a few devastatingly good pairs on the spring runways. At Gucci, Frida Giannini paired ankle-strap sandals (similar to the Palmas Platform ($635), available in gold at Saks) with slouchy skinny trousers, which were cuffed above the ankle to show off the shoes! Ralph Lauren also sent out sky-high wooden heels, like the Pasha Crisscross ($675), worn with everything from billowy harem pants to crisp khaki shorts.
In addition to these slim versions, we also like a chunkier platform, heel, or wedge, like the shoe-boot Mischa Barton wore while shopping in New York during Fashion Week. Of these three styles, note that the wedge is particularly practical for spring and summer: they're ideal for daytime weddings (or outdoor events, as you won't sink into grass!) and the wider base means better balance (crucial for the highest heels). But no matter what style you select, there are options galore, so go ahead and get excited!
Marni Platform Sandal ($846)
Our first pair of platforms is also the most directional and futuristic of the group. The contrast of the blonde wood heel against a glossy black platform looks new and neat, while the unexpected pink leather straps add another pop of interest to this architectural shoe.
Steve Madden Quinella Wedge ($90)
If youÂ're looking for an updated seventies-style platform wedge, we'd like to suggest Steve Madden's Quinella. The tan leather version, shown here, is nicely neutral, while the black option makes a more dramatic statement. Either shade will make for an excellent match with either a pair of boyfriend jeans or a floaty summer dresses.
Frye Dara Wooden Platform Sandal ($188)
Though totally different in style, there's something about this Frye slingback that reminds us of Mischa Barton's footwear choice. Perhaps it's the sturdy construction, or maybe it's the no-nonsense black leather clog-like style, but the resemblance is definitely there! Try them with your favorite wide-leg jeans; theyÂ'll look so cute peeping out under the hem.
Miu Miu Printed Slingback Sandal ($445)
Each season, we invariably fall for a pair or two of Miu Miu shoes, and this spring's no exception. Right now, we're mad about these mega-heels (they're a whopping six-inches tall, with a one-and-a-half inch platform in front). The pseudo-croc stamped leather is refined and luxurious, while a smattering of silver studs add a little toughness.
Nine West Rusty Wedge ($89)
Tapered trousers simply cry out for a pair of statement shoes like these brilliant blue Nine West wedges. In addition to their unbeatable price, the combination of the four-inch heel, double buckles at the ankle, and braid embellishment at the toe ensures that this is one memorable shoe.
Loeffler Randall Poppy Perforated Wooden Platform Sandals ($595)
Perforated leather is swiftly becoming one of the season's hottest looks, as it adds a subtle eighties-edge to any accessory. Loeffler Randall's Poppy Platform offers a spot-on way to wear this trend in a chic way. The modern mesh-like upper contrasts with the blonde wood heel perfectly, resulting in the seamless fusion of au courant and classic style.
Cynthia Vincent Serena Sandal ($275)
Our final wooden platform just might be our most intelligent selection. The gold grommets add a certain of-the-moment flair while the multi-strap style offers a slight (yet much needed) update to the ubiquitous gladiator sandal. Additionally, the small wedge is high enough to appeal to flats-adverse readers, yet small enough to appeal to the heel-haters out there. Who knew compromise could look so good?
