CDC: Breast cancer death rate for black women higher than in any other group
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says black women are 40 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than white women are.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American women, but the CDC's Ileana Arias says black women have "unacceptably high" death rates. She says they have the "highest death rates from breast cancer among all racial and ethnic groups."
Arias says many lives could be saved each year with proper screening and treatment, stressing the importance of educating black women to coverage provided by the new health care law, including mammograms without co-pays in many health plans.

Lanes reopening near Shawnee but delays expected
May 20, 2013 12:28 GMT
SHAWNEE, Okla. (AP) -- Officials say drivers should expect delays on Interstate 40 in Shawnee as crews continue to clean up storm debris.
Westbound Interstate 40 was closed Sunday night at U.S. 177 after storms ripped through the area. U.S. 177 was also shut down because of vehicle accidents caused by the severe weather.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation says northbound U.S. 177 at I-40 was reopened as of 7 a.m. Monday. Westbound traffic on I-40 is narrowed to one lane, but all lanes are expected to reopen later Monday morning.
Officials say drivers should expect congestion in the area or pick an alternate route.
