The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lost or misplaced more than $8 million in property in 2007, losing track of items including computer and video equipment, government auditors say. The agency still hasn't explained what happened to the 15 pieces of missing equipment from 2007, auditors said. But a CDC spokeswoman on Wednesday Dec. 29, 2010 said all but four of the items _ including the two most expensive ones _ have since been accounted for. (AP Photo/John Amis, File)
