Download or read book California Energy Resource Conservation and Development Committee Is Not Prepared to Award and Monitor Recovery Act Funds and Lacks Control to Prevent Their Misuse written by Elaine M. Howle and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns the preparedness of the Calif. Energy Resources Conservation and Dev¿t. Comm. (EC) to receive and administer fed. Recovery Act funds awarded by the Dept. of Energy (DoE) for its State Energy Program. This review found that as of Nov. 16, 2009, the EC had entered into contracts totaling only $40 million despite having had access to $113 million of the $226 million in Recovery Act funds it has been awarded. As a result, few Recovery Act dollars have been spent. The State is at risk of either having the funds redirected by the DoE or awarding them in a compressed period of time without first establishing an adequate system of internal controls. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!
