(AP - 10/7/03) California Ponders Illegal Driver's Licenses Again SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - A California lawmaker introduced a revised bill on Wednesday that would allow illegal aliens to apply for driver's licenses, drawing fast criticism from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites)'s office. Schwarzenegger last year repealed a law granting undocumented aliens driver's licenses that was based on a bill by Democratic state Sen. Gilbert Cedillo, who has revived his effort despite the popular governor's continuing opposition. The Hollywood icon was swept into office in part on his vow to repeal Cedillo's original measure, which former Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites) had signed into law.

Extractions: The archeology of African American people has included particularly the studies of African American cultural group diversity, the African Diaspora, and slavery. This archeology has grown rapidly over the past few decades and is a major interest in American archeology. In addition to research, many social, political, and intellectual forces have spurred the growth of African American archeology. These forces include: increasing numbers of African American archeologists with interest in their own heritage, black activism, passage of historic preservation legislation, archeological interest in immigrant ethnic groups, and the increased use of archeology, ethnography and ethnohistory in public interpretation of historic sites such as urban settings and plantations (Thomas 1998:531). Effective interpretation of archeological resources associated with African Americans depends on sensitivity to public emotions about and understanding of issues such as slavery and racism. Evidence of these issues in the archeological record presents educational opportunities for archeologists and interpreters. African American contributions to American history are also well documented in the archeological record and serve equally to educate visitors. African American social traditions, religious practices and oral histories are rich resources for archeologists and interpreters developing

Extractions: Backgrounder Cervical Cancer: Backgrounder In 1999, an estimated 12,800 cases of invasive cervical cancer are expected to occur in the United States, with about 4,800 women dying from this disease. In the United States, currently the highest age-adjusted incidence rate occurs among Vietnamese women (43 per 100,000), probably reflecting lack of prior screening. Incidence rates of 15 per 100,000 or higher also occur among Alaska Native, Korean, and Hispanic women. (For all U.S. women, the rate is about eight per 100,000.) Mortality declined 45 percent between the periods 1972-74 and 1992-94, while incidence declined 43.3 percent from 1973 to 1995. While death rates for African Americans have declined more rapidly than for whites, the African American death rate (6.7 per 100,000) continues to be more than twice that of whites (2.5 per 100,000). The higher African American death rate is due to the high number of cervical cancer deaths among older black women. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second or third most common cancer among women (cervical cancer and colorectal cancer are virtually tied for second place after breast cancer). In some developing countries, it is the most common cancer. About 400,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, predominantly among the economically disadvantaged, in both developing and industrialized nations.

Extractions: Studies in the News California One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago April 1852 - "Edward F. Beale was appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs for California in April 1852. Beale requested $500,000 for military reservations where both soldiers and Indians would reside. Congress appropriated $250,000 for five reservations, not to exceed 25,000 acres each, to be located on public lands, with good land, wood, and water." A History of American Indians in California April 1852 - "When a (federal) bill concerning funding for California's Indian problems was finally approved on 30 April 1852, it only contained money to establish a permanent Indian Agent for California and money to pacify the Indians until the treaties were passed by Congress..... These treaties drew heavy opposition from the state government in California. A state commission was assembled in 1852 to examine the treaties, and in its report to the state legislature, it recommended that Congress be notified of the 'great evils that would inevitably result to the people of California' if the treaties were ratified.
