IHS Locations
Physicians in the Indian Health Programs practice in a variety of settings throughout the United States, many surrounded by spectacular natural beauty. Each of our 12 Areas offers its own unique career experiences and provides you with the opportunity to live and work in diverse American Indian or Alaska Native communities that are rich with their own traditions.
QUICK JUMP: Aberdeen · Alaska · Albuquerque · Bemidji · Billings · California · Nashville · Navajo · Oklahoma · Phoenix · Portland · Tucson
Aberdeen AreaThe Aberdeen Area is a rolling prairie divided in the western portion of the Dakotas by awe-inspiring natural attractions and landmarks such as Badlands National Park, the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore National Memorial. Residents of this unspoiled region enjoy numerous opportunities to hunt, fish, ice skate, ski and hike. Agriculture provides a steady economic base and hydroelectric developments on the Missouri River have spurred growth.
Through its service units, the Aberdeen Area provides health care to American Indians on reservations located in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa. The two largest reservations, Pine Ridge and Rosebud, are in southwestern South Dakota. The Aberdeen Area features a comprehensive health care delivery system. Facilities include hospitals, health centers, health stations and satellite clinics.
For more information, visit the Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service Web site.

Alaska AreaThe Alaska Area's service units are situated among the natural wonders of this vast, unspoiled state, from tiny Annette Island at the southern tip of the panhandle to urban Fairbanks to rural Kotzebue, 260 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Nature lovers and outdoor types will find myriad opportunities to explore these landscapes and enjoy their majestic beauty.
The Alaska Area Native Health Service facilities provide comprehensive health services to Alaska Native people, Eskimos, Aleuts, Indians and non-Natives in remote locales through fee- for-service care. Health professionals working in Alaska experience firsthand the various cultures and traditions of Native Alaskans. Members of several Tribes have historically lived in well-defined regions with little mixing of ethnic groups. As a result, each group retains many of its original customs and beliefs. The Alaska Area's service units include hospitals, ambulatory health care centers and community health aide clinics.
For more information, visit the Alaska Area Native Health Service Web site.

Albuquerque AreaFrom high-altitude mountain ranges to sprawling deserts to spectacular canyons, the Albuquerque Area facility sites offer adventuresome individuals opportunities for outdoor sports and recreation that are as varied as they are abundant.
The Albuquerque Area provides health services to American Indians in numerous Tribal groups - each with their own history, language and culture - on reservations in New Mexico and Colorado. The IHS facilities also serve numerous American Indians who live, work or attend school in the urban centers of the Albuquerque Area. Divided into service units that provide inpatient and outpatient services through hospitals, health care centers, field clinics and health stations, the Albuquerque Area offers a broad range of curative, preventive, environmental and educational services to the local Tribes.
For more information, visit the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service website

Bemidji AreaThis northern IHS lake area covers the lush, fertile states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, all named and celebrated for their predominant life-giving resource: water. The abundance of lakes and unspoiled acres of land provide many opportunities for recreation.
The Bemidji Area administers several service units which provide care through IHS practitioners. It also administers federally recognized Tribal and Urban programs which deliver services through health care providers hired directly by the Tribes. Many Tribal members are geographically isolated from the urban facilities and community health centers and must rely on a team approach of IHS, Tribal and contract providers for their health care needs. Facilities range from community health stations and walk-in first-aid centers to fully staffed hospitals and clinics. Preventive education and health screening are stressed in an effort to control some of the Area's chronic health problems.
For more information, visit the Bemidji Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Billings AreaThe Billings Area embodies the scenic open space and "Big Sky" country of Montana and Wyoming. It serves members of the Plains Tribes on reservations and in surrounding communities. Many of the Tribes' traditional activities and language remain intact. This area is famous for its fresh air and outdoor activities. Montana and Wyoming contain more than 17 million acres of national forest, over three million acres of wilderness and many national and state parks.
The Billings Area provides comprehensive health care services to American Indian people through service units which include hospitals and clinics, preventive health and outreach services, alcohol treatment centers, dental and eye care facilities and air and ground emergency transportation. Reservation-based community fitness centers help promote and enable healthy lifestyles and encourage disease prevention activities.
For more information, visit the Billings Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
California AreaTribes in the California Area are responsible for the development and operation of their own health care facilities. Many of the facilities are operated by Tribal consortiums, which provide comprehensive health care services to members and are supported by state and federal funding as well as private and public grants. All California Indian health facilities are managed by the Indian people themselves. Thus, IHS provides no staffing to support the California clinics, even though they serve the largest population of Native Americans of all the reservation states. Employment is arranged directly through each facility and requires that the health care provider hold a California license. The Area has both rural Tribal health programs and Urban Indian health programs serving American Indian patients.
For more information, visit the California Area Indian Health Service Web site.

Nashville AreaGeographically, the Nashville Area is the largest of the 12 IHS Areas, covering the greatest number of square miles in the "lower 48" and extending from Maine to Texas. The Area is richly endowed with the traditional cultures and artifacts of many Tribes, from beautiful crafts prized by collectors to traditional foods served at celebrations and pow-wows.
The Nashville Area serves members of Tribes scattered across states mostly east of the Mississippi River. Many of the beneficiaries use Tribal operated clinics, located near the Atlantic Ocean, the Great Smoky Mountains and the Great Lakes. Most professionals in the Area's facilities are employed by the Tribes, but they may also belong to one of the government's personnel systems, the civil service or the USPHS Commissioned Corps.
For more information, visit the Nashville Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Navajo AreaThe Navajo Area serves the Navajo Nation - the largest Indian Tribe in the United States, spread throughout Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Health care professionals are drawn to this Area by the special connections made with the Navajo people and their traditions and the opportunity to appreciate awe-inspiring natural beauty.
The Navajo Area provides comprehensive health care to the Navajo people throughout this vast reservation. Inpatient, outpatient, contract and community health programs are centered around the Navajo Area's hospitals, health centers, health stations, school clinics and Navajo Tribal health programs. The vast range of facilities offers health care professionals a choice in the scale and style of health care they wish to practice.
For more information, visit the Navajo Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Oklahoma City AreaA clean environment, lakes, small mountain ranges and prairies characterize the Oklahoma City Area. Health professionals live and work in rural areas, small college towns or large cities in Kansas and Oklahoma. For them, the lifestyle is quiet, unhurried, sociable, inexpensive focus on the basics: good school systems, outdoor recreation and cultural events.
The Oklahoma City Area's service units provide care to the largest IHS service population in the United States with the majority of patients residing in urban settings. Hospitals and outpatient health centers and clinics provide inpatient and outpatient care. Many of the facilities are quite large and hire a diverse staff. The IHS staff and Tribal hired professionals and paraprofessionals work using state-of-the-art equipment in modern facilities.
For more information, visit the Oklahoma City Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Phoenix AreaThe Phoenix Area serves American Indians from many culturally diverse Tribes throughout Arizona, Nevada and Utah. The Area's terrain and climate vary from desert and mesa country to alpine meadows and rugged national parks. Recreational opportunities include hiking, camping, backpacking, skiing and water sports. Outdoor activities are popular among the Phoenix Area staff, whether they are stationed in desert areas, mountainous terrain or along the Colorado River.
The Area's service units include IHS hospitals, clinics, health centers and health stations. The IHS facilities combine modern technology, western medicine and traditional healing. Medical Center facilities provide multi-service and specialty care to patients and conduct research under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health.
For more information, visit the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Portland AreaThe terrain of the Pacific Northwest is as varied as it is beautiful. The Northwest is famous for its abundant recreational opportunities and most Indian reservations are located among these prime spots.
The Portland Area oversees the delivery of health care to Indian people who reside on reservations in the states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The IHS operates both health centers and health stations in this Area. The Tribes operate an increasing number of health care facilities throughout the Portland Area. Facility locations vary from remote, rural and coastal reservations to large metropolitan areas. Local practitioners enjoy a great deal of autonomy in their practices, whether in the clinic, lab or pharmacy.
For more information, visit the Portland Area Indian Health Service Web site.
Back To Top
Tucson AreaDramatic scenery characterizes the Tucson Area, where elevations range from 1,400 feet in the Santa Rosa Valley to nearly 8,000 feet on Baboquivari Mountain. Popular recreational activities include camping and backpacking in the nearby desert and national forests and skiing on the White Mountains or Mount Lemmon.
The Tucson Area is the smallest of all IHS Areas, serving the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Health service for the Tohono O'odham is centered in Sells, AZ, which is the capital of the Tohono O'odham Reservation and hub of reservation life. Health care in the Sells Service Unit is a joint effort between IHS and the Tohono O'odham Health Department. The Yaqui Service Unit is jointly managed by IHS and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Services are rendered directly and indirectly through a non-traditional, innovative system of subcontracts.
For more information, visit the Tucson Area Indian Health Service Web site.

Read: What The Rangers Can Offer Justin Schultz
10:05AM: Elliotte Friedman writes at CBC that the Toronto Maple Leafs were given a window to sign Schultz at the draft but he declined and wants to test free agency.
He says that it is still possible that Anaheim will file tampering charges against the team that signs him.
9:39AM: In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes about what the Rangers can offer Wisconsin defenseman and free agent to be Justin Schultz.
Since the money will be the same from every team, Schultz says that the Rangers can offer him the chance to play on a cup contending team, the chance to play with his former teammates Ryan McDonagh and Derek Stepan.
He also notes that the Rangers will promote the fact that John Torotrella, over the last two seasons, has given college players like Stepan, McDonagh, Carl Hagelin and Chris Kreider big roles.
Brooks says that the Rangers, Canucks, Oilers, Maple Leafs and maybe the Blackhawks and Red Wings are expected to be on Schultz's short list.
Adam Rotter: Each of those teams has a feature that can appeal to Schultz. Vancouver is home and has a shot to win, Edmonton is filled with young forwards and need defensemen, Toronto has his good friend Jake Gardiner and Brian Burke and like the Rangers, the Red Wings and Blackhawks give him a chance to step in to a big role on a contending team.

Dr. Skirboll is someone I will never forget. He did a spinal surgery fusing my c5 and c6 since my spinal cord was almost crushed and i was very close to being paralyzed. Not only was I impressed with his professionalism, He also gave me something greater. Dr. Skirboll gave me a chance to continue the normal life I had always been used to. Instead of being in a wheel chair, I am getting my moral back knowing i will be good for the rest of my life. Thanks for the best care i could ever ask for Dr. Skirboll.

2011 Ferrari 599 Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2011 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Coupe at this time
2011 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Coupe cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

for used Ferrari 599.
Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

MAPLE GROVE, Minn. - More trouble is brewing for the coach of the Maple Grove High School hockey team. A source affiliated with the Osseo-Maple Grove Hockey Association (OMGHA) tells KARE11 the organization has called for a vote of "no confidence" for head coach Gary Stefano.
Sources also say a second motion would distance the youth program from Stefano.
OMGHA Board president Dennis Smith says he cannot confirm the information, but says any such motion could also be withdrawn before a Sunday meeting when the vote is scheduled.
OMGHA has 900 young players and is considered a feeder program to the high school hockey teams.
This all comes after an incident involving the team at a private home in December, that led to the suspension of 13 varsity and junior varsity hockey players.
In January, when the district says it was made aware of what happened, Stefano was also briefly put on administrative leave pending the investigation, though he was reinstated within a day.
Stefano previously called the incident his worst experience in his 32 years with the district. Maple Grove High School Principal Sara Vernig referred to the situation as devastating and disappointing.
The school board has declined to give details on the incident, citing data privacy laws.

POTSDAM State grants for the construction of the St. Lawrence County Fire Training Facility have put the end of the once-troubled project in sight.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, announced $100,000 in state funds for the project Monday, in addition to the $100,000 secured by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, in October.
Our firefighters and first responders deserve a modern and convenient training facility. This state-of-the-art facility will serve St. Lawrence County well in that regard, Mrs. Russell said in a statement.
This is just absolutely phenomenal. This has just almost done it for us, said Dale W. Gardner, a past Canton fire chief who has been among those coordinating fundraising efforts.
Live-fire training exercises are a must for firefighters in training, but St. Lawrence County has been without a training facility since the handmade building that served the purpose for 35 years was condemned for being unsafe in 2008.
A two-story building to be built in West Potsdam was proposed almost two years ago, but fundraising efforts stalled. The nonprofit group responsible for fundraising appealed to all 41 St. Lawrence County fire departments, but the going was tough.
The group has the support of St. Lawrence County, but since it is not a fire department or an official government organization, it is ineligible for many public grants.
Every time we tried to look at some of those funds, they came back and said, Youre not a fire department, Mr. Gardner said.
County firefighters trained at facilities in Jefferson, Franklin and Lewis counties in lieu of their own location.
The planned facility will cost nearly $500,000 and will be constructed by Fire Facilities Inc. of Sun Prairie, Wis. A foundation was constructed last year in hopes that the group would raise the money needed to complete the building this year.
The $200,000 in new state funds brings the total raised to $340,000.
The group hopes to obtain a loan to cover the final $160,000 and begin construction this year. It will appeal to the county to pay back the loan over the next 10 years.
County legislators at a committee meeting Monday agreed to negotiate the details of how to pay for the training center so construction can start.
Were not asking for a handout, said Joseph A. Finnegan, chairman of the county Fire Advisory Board.
Legislators said they would wait to see the recommendation on how to fund the remainder of the project.
This motion isnt going to cost any money at this point, said Legislator James A. Bunstone, D-Potsdam. Its a motion to go into negotiation.

Read: Where Both Sides Are At Today
Both Bill Daly and Steve Fehr joined Sportsnet's Hockey Central program today to talk about a whole host of topics.
Nick Cotsonika, Bruce Garrioch and Chris Botta were all sending out reports from what the Daly and Fehr were saying.
- Bill Daly isn't scared of the union decertifying and doesn't think they have much of a chance in court.
- Decertification would likely end any chance of a season happening
- Daly isn't sure that the people leading the players union want to have a season or that mediation would be a good idea.
- Daly, according to Cotsonika, insinuates that the players want to make a deal and that not all of their wishes are being brought forward by the PA leadership.
- Fehr says that he has his doubts about the NHL wanting to get a deal done and says that decertification is something they are looking at.
- He says that they absolutely want to get a deal done
- Fehr says that the players have moved "a couple of miles" and aren't prepared to move any further right now. He says that the NHL has moved a couple of inches
- Daly says that the term "make whole" isn't correct and they will start calling it transition payments.
Cotsonika tweets "In the end, again, they are close enough to make a deal and there is no excuse if there is no season. I think/hope they will make a deal."

Erik Seo's Epic Skiing and Riding Pix Explode off the Page
Without trying to sound cliché, the first word that comes to mind when viewing Erik Seo's action sports photography is 'explosive', and that's not simply because snow and people tend to be flying all over the place in many of his photographs.
Mostly self-taught, Seattle-born Seo (rhymes with –'say-oh') began photographing fellow ski-bums while attending Washington State University with a major in landscape architecture and just enough photography classes on the side to get him hooked for life.
For inspiration and visual direction he read books about lighting and studied the work of others in the field whose work he respected. He also shot a lot and pushed himself to see if he could do it even better. Seo decided to shoot full time about 30-seconds after learning his day job had been terminated. It's a decision he's content with.
Winter sports photography is as demanding as location photography gets. Challenges include mountain terrain, extreme cold, snow, ice, rain, slippery surfaces with obstructions – not all of which are immediately apparent – speed, sun glare, or any combination of the above. Add remote-triggered TTL flash into the mix only makes things that more interesting.
Seo's working tools include Canon EOS 1D and 5D Mark-series camera bodies with a trio of Canon L-series wide zooms, a fast 85mm and the all-but-mandatory 70-200/f2.8L II zoom.
For flash, Seo uses Canon and Nikon Speedlites, Elinchrom Ranger RX AS and Ranger Quadra flash systems, along with Paul C Buff Einstein flash heads in various combinations depending on the scope and parameters of the assignment.
Regardless of whose lighting systems he ends up using, all communications between his cameras and lights go through his PocketWizard remote triggering system, which, as Erik jokingly says, frees him from having to drag along "about 834,234,324-feet of sync cords".
Erik's remote triggering system includes FlexTT5 and Plus III Transceivers. He also makes use of PocketWizard PowerST4 Receivers, which enable remote control of Elinchrom RX-series flash systems with PocketWizard ControlTL technologies. Also included in Erik Seo's PocketWizard triggering kit are AC3 ZoneControllers, which enable three zones of off-camera flash control.
Getting through these challenges requires equal measures of speed, stamina, lightning reflexes, and enough common sense to know when to pull back. (According to Erik it also requires always having a supply of plastic bags and waterproof tape on hand to better ensure moisture doesn't get into places it doesn't belong.) It also helps to have camera gear that won't let you down when things start to rock and roll.
The combination of bright, high-altitude sunlight and blowing snow can easily push contrast ranges off the charts making fill-flash all but mandatory for revealing detail in otherwise blackened shadows.
To freeze the action Seo often requires shutter speeds shorter than the 1/200th and 1/250th-second top sync speeds of his Canon camera bodies. Using PocketWizard's exclusive HyperSync® feature, Seo has the option of selecting shutter speeds as short as 1/8000th-second, which is far more effective at freezing fast-moving subjects compared to the native top sync speeds of most DSLR and mirrorless cameras.
"PocketWizard radio's allow me to craft the light the way I'd like, at any time of day. HyperSync allows me more flexibility in overpowering daylight and punching light into the harsh shadows of my outdoor scenes."
Erik also makes use of the flexible Quad-Zone Triggering feature of his PocketWizard Transceivers, which allow him to quickly switch between flash systems while adjusting power settings on the fly.
More than just a flash trigger, Erik also uses his PocketWizard system for triggering cameras remotely. "I use PocketWizard radios to control my lighting, but also (use them) to wirelessly fire a second or third camera connected to PocketWizard motor drive cables. It's always good to have another camera blasting away at 10fps when you only get one pop of flash power per attempt… You never know if you will get more than one opportunity to photograph the action so the more cameras you can have covering the action, the better. Some of my best photos including my cover shot of one of Powder Magazine's Photo Annual have been captured through remotely-fired cameras."
Seo can also testify to the range and accuracy of his PocketWizard flash triggering system. "Last winter I did a photo shoot for Aspen Skiing Company out of a helicopter from a distance of about 2,000 feet from the subject and we were able to successfully HypersSync with my Elinchrom Ranger's and Paul Buff Einstein flash units. Both Seo and his client went home happy that day.
"Thanks to people at PocketWizard for creating the tools I need to shape the light to my liking."

NORTHFIELD–The Falcon hockey girls overcame a 1-0 first period deficit to defeat Northfield 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
A late arrival at the Kreitzberg Arena led to more first periods trouble for North Country, as the Marauders (2-4) went up 1-0, putting the Falcons once again behind the eight ball.
"It was one of those typical first periods that seem to be plaguing us as of late," said coach Claude Paul.
In the second the girls played a little better, but still could not find the back of the net, and headed into the third still down a goal.
JAY-Another game and another night of poor road conditions for the boy's hockey team from North Country.
They must really like that holiday favorite 'Let it Snow,' because each of the last two times out, the weather was frightful, but inside was indeed delightful, as the Falcons once again scored five third period goals, besting 1-3 Rice to stay undefeated at 4-0 in the young season.
"We pressured early, controlled the pace, but did not get any return on our efforts in the first two periods," said coach Andrew Roy.
LYNDON–After three close quarters, the North Country girl's basketball team shook loose for seventeen fourth quarter points en-route to a 42-25 win over the Lyndon Institute Vikings.
The Falcons weren't helped out at all by the officials, as they had four players with four fouls by game's end.
"It is tough to adjust to officials when they change the way they are calling the game mid-way through," mused coach Christiane Brown.
Early on, the refs were letting the girls play a fairly physical style of B-ball, but by the end, as Brown puts it, "they were calling some real ticky-tack stuff."
NEWPORT–BFA St. Albans completed the season sweep over the North Country boy's basketball team on Saturday, defeating the Falcons 88-63 to move to 2-3 in 2012.
"We struggled in every facet of the game," said NCU coach Brian Bonvechio. "It was a very tough outing to say the least."
At one point the game was tied 11-11, but the Bobwhites went on a mad tear, and at the break, they were up 49-2.
In the second half they salted it away to put the Falcons' record at 1-4.
HYDE PARK–Drew Gallup's nineteen points paced the Lake Region Rangers, as they moved to 5-0 after defeating Enosburg (3-1) to win the Lamoille Holiday Tournament on Saturday.
Shaquille Urie chipped in eight points in the victory, and now the team will ready itself for Matthieu St. Amour's antics on Thursday as they will host Missisquoi at 7:00.
MT. HOR– It was a tough day at the races for the North Country Nordic ski teams this weekend, as both the boys and girls finished last their respective divisions.
JAY–While the weather outside was frightful, the Falcons were so delightful, firing home eleven goals en route to a 11-0 holiday thrashing of the woeful Burlington Seahorses.
"We had a lot of fun out there tonight," said coach Andrew Roy. "Our upperclassmen played well as did our younger guys, who are finding ways to help out in our offense."
The fun got started right off the bat, errr, uh $200.00 composite stick.
Kody Halikas scored the first of his three first-period goals 1:14 into the game, sniping home a low shot past Stephanie Landry from the slot.
JAY–The North Country girls hockey team continued their pattern of disorganized play in the first period, which eventually led to their downfall, as they lost 3-1 to the Harwood Highlanders on Saturday night.
"Maybe the holiday's started early," quipped head coach Claude Paul. "I don't know what it was, but we couldn't seem to do anything right."
The night started off with starting goalie Mikaella Doran sitting on the bench due to illness, so that opened the door for junior Brianna Bocelli to make her first start of the season.
The Highlanders would not be kind to her.
CRAFTSBURY–Christmas came early to the Craftsbury Academy, complete with a visit from Bill "Santa Claus" Lee, as both the boy's and the girl's teams won their respective divisions of the Stephen Willey Memorial Tournament on Saturday.
ORLEANS–Drew Gallup had 16 points, and three other Rangers tied with 8 as Lake Region rolled over Peoples Academy 58-29 on Thursday.
The boys set the stage early, outscoring the Wolves 19-2 in the first quarter.
Gallup, Caleb Prue and Dennis Newland each had four points in the opening frame.
From there the points kept on coming.
Fourteen in the second, seventeen in the third, and finally eight in the fourth to wrap things up.
Every member of the team, save for one got in the scorebook on Thursday, making the win a very dominating team effort.
NEWPORT–Anna Bingham led all scorers with fifteen points and the North Country defense held the Cougars to single digits in all four quarters, as the Falcons rolled over Mount Mansfield 54-23.
"I think we played really well together today," said senior Michaela Stanley. "We made a lot of passes on offense and on defense our pressure was intense."
It was evident form the tip-off that North Country was going to have an easy time of it.
Bingham opened the scoring, followed by four points from Desiree Coffin and two form Britni Jewer before the Cougars' Rebecca Rapacz got MMU on the board.

It's a question I've been asking many people. And they have no real answer. But the reason why the cost of computers keeps going down is because of the genius, ingenuity, and competence of the private sector. The new computers are not only cheaper but offer so many new features that we can barely keep up with these great innovations.
It used to be very expensive to make a transatlantic call. Now it costs only pennies. Again, the private sector is reality oriented. Private business knows that the lower the cost of a product, the more customers you get. But government officials and the politicians who run Washington are not only incompetent, they are not worth the trillions of dollars needed to keep them in their cushy jobs. Because they believe in a ridiculous doctrine known as political correctness, they've created a fantasy world that the public is too mystified and cowed to complain about. And the politicians have been able to buy a compliant electorate by sending them their Social Security checks and making Medicare payments. And that is why so many Americans tolerate wholesale government incompetence and corruption.

POTSDAM — SUNY Potsdam alumna Stephanie Blythe, class of '92, will be featured in her acclaimed Kate Smith tribute concert on PBS's "Live from Lincoln Center" this month.
Then, she'll bring her performance from the Lincoln Center stage to the Crane School of Music in May, with a special benefit concert to support the Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar.
Ms. Blythe presented "We'll Meet Again: The Songs of Kate Smith" as part of the American Songbook series at Lincoln Center, which was taped in February at the Time Warner Center. PBS's "Live from Lincoln Center" will air the concert on public television stations at 9 p.m. April 19.
Ms. Blythe and her frequent collaborator, Craig Terry, will bring "We'll Meet Again: The Songs of Kate Smith" to her alma mater at 7:30 p.m. May 21 in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music. She will perform popular works from Ms. Smith's career, including "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain,""We'll Meet Again,""God Bless America," and "Look for the Silver Lining."
"Her tribute to Kate Smith ... is an unqualified triumph — with an emphasis on the oomph," David Finkle wrote in the Huffington Post. "Blythe has the same friendly appeal and sense of humor Smith possessed. She exudes the same integrity and love, not only of the people for whom she's singing, but of the country in which she's singing."
This season, Ms. Blythe performs in a new production of "Un Ballo in Maschera" as well as "Il Trovatore" and the Ring Cycle at the Metropolitan Opera.
Tickets for "We'll Meet Again" are $25 for the general public and $20 for SUNY Potsdam faculty, staff and students. All proceeds will benefit the college's Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar. Contact the Community Performance Series Box Office at 267-2277 or visit www.cpspotsdam.org to purchase tickets. Tickets may also be purchased at Northern Music & Video in downtown Potsdam.
n n n
Ms. Blythe co-founded the Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar with Carleen Graham, a professor of opera at Crane, who is executive director. The program is a venue for emerging singers and pianists to cultivate their artistry through contemporary American art song. Now in its second season, the Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar will return to Crane from May 20 to 25.
Six singers and three pianists (ages 23 to 35) were selected from a competitive, national audition to work with Ms. Blythe and Music Director Alan Smith, a noted pianist, vocal coach and composer and a member of the faculty at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music and at the Tanglewood Music Center. Rounding out the team is associate director Audrey Saccone, a 2012 SUNY Potsdam graduate who is digital and social media manager at OPERA America in New York.
Other seminar events that are free and open to the public include two masterclasses with Ms. Blythe and Mr. Smith working with the Fall Island participants from 10 a.m. to noon May 23 and 24 in the college's Snell Theater.
"The Music of Alan Louis Smith," a lecture-recital featuring the composer and the seminar participants, will be offered at 7 p.m. May 23 in the Ralph Wakefield Recital Hall.
A culminating recital featuring the seminar participants will be performed at 7:30 p.m. May 25 in Snell Theater. These events are free, educational and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

NEWPORT - Inmates at the Vermont Correctional Print Shop altered the seal emblem placed on police cruisers to include an imbedded pig on one of the cow spots. The emblem was put on about 30 cruisers before anyone detected the alteration.
Construction crews dove into work on the Long Bridge in Newport City at the same time the state was busy paving in the area, which caused numerous traffic jams. Work on the bridge has been efficient and, despite one worker falling into the water, has proceeded on or ahead of schedule.
NEWPORT - Wind. Wind. Wind. If there's one issue that dominated the news and the minds of people in the area, it was industrial wind towers. From the battle on the hillsides of Derby Line to the protests and sign waving on the Lowell Mountain ridgeline, wind was the hot issue of the year, and may be for years to come.

HYDE PARK–Drew Gallup's nineteen points paced the Lake Region Rangers, as they moved to 5-0 after defeating Enosburg (3-1) to win the Lamoille Holiday Tournament on Saturday.
Shaquille Urie chipped in eight points in the victory, and now the team will ready itself for Matthieu St. Amour's antics on Thursday as they will host Missisquoi at 7:00.
MT. HOR– It was a tough day at the races for the North Country Nordic ski teams this weekend, as both the boys and girls finished last their respective divisions.
JOHNSON – The Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) Board of Directors passed a resolution that recommended a moratorium of up to two years on renewable power supply mandates.
The recommendation will be made to the Vermont Legislature.
The board of directors' meeting agenda stated that the topic was geared towards new wind turbine power projects, but the discussion evolved to include all renewable projects as the talks ensued, explained Liz Gamache, spokesperson with VEC.
ORLEANS COUNTY - Nasty! That was the word for many Northeast Kingdom residents who braved yesterday's blizzard to get to work or do shopping. Many people stayed home.
Plow trucks scraped off as much as they could, but at the rate the snow was falling, the work seemed like a futile effort. In the meantime, a number of drivers had a hard time staying on the road.

University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
Last Modified: May 16, 1999
Robert Young, M.D. from the Fox Chase Cancer Center presented the data from Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Protocol #95 a randomized clinical trial of adjuvant treatment of early (Stage IA-IIA high-risk) ovarian cancer patients. The regimen of GOG #95:
Regimen 1: 15 mc intraperitoneal 32P given once (n= 98)
Regimen 2: Cyclophosphamide 1 gm/m2 and Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 IV x 1 q 3 weeks. (n=107)
Dr. Young concluded that:
Dr. Young stated that it was justified based upon reduced toxicity of the CP arm. He noted that the 32P arm was associated with two occurrences of small bowel perforation (one being fatal) and several cases of gastrointestinal toxicity (nausea, vomiting, etc.). However, there was one death in the CP arm because of pancytopenia.
Dr. Colombo then asked if the likelihood of recurrence for patients with clear-cell ovarian cancers was different between the two regimens.
Dr. Young stated that the clear-cell relapse rate was higher than other epithelial subtypes in both arms, but the numbers were too small to be statistically significant.
Editorial Comment: This important study compares the benefit of intraperitoneally administered 32P with cyclophosphamide for early-stage ovarian cancer as adjuvant therapy. We agree with the conclusions reached by Drs. Young and Colombo. Unfortunately, the power of this study was not sufficient to resolve a difference between the two regimens in overall survival.

Looking for an 1864 handwritten diary of my g-g-grandmother. I stumbled on a description in WorthPoint and recognized the name and details but don't know how I might get a chance to at least read it. It sold at auction on e-bay in 2007 and they only keep records for three years. WorthPoint was also unable to help me. It could have been purchased by a library, museum, bookseller or private party. Where do I start??? Thanks for any help. Kathleen

My name is Brandon, and recently received Raven my dog for my birthday.
I have always wantdd one of these dogs and I have researching them since I was 14 years old..im currently 27. Growing up we had always had dogs my would only raise Rottweilers. My parents refused to let me have an APBT because my dad said they were all inbred and would eventually turn on their owners. My mom was afraid of the "lockjaw." So it wasnt until I was married with children that I was allowed to own one.
This is Raven, we had agreed to eventually get a dog but thought we woukd wait until after we moved. But one day my wife coming home from taking the kids out and she spotted a guy selling his puppies while at a red light. He had two left and one was the runt who my wife says the guy was telling people he was going to put to sleep because she was undesirable due to her size...long story short my wife left with the runt and brought it home as a birthday day gift to me. Normally I would be against supporting BYBs but there was noway my wife was going to leave any animal to die. But shes a great dog and friend a little feisty with other dogs but perfect with people adults and kids

Detailed Description:
Clinical and autopsy studies show that up to 30% of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus show a detectable β-cell function at clinical diabetes. The preservation of this endogenous insulin production, even if it is small, can have a great impact on the evolution of long-term disease through improving glycemic control, reducing chronic diabetes complications and hypoglycemia. Strategies for preventing the loss of beta cell are based on stopping the autoimmune process and also in the preservation and regeneration of beta cells. Currently have been questioned the potential use of GLP-1 for new-onset type 1 diabetes. The justification for this issue is based on the fact that this class of drugs, besides acting on insulin secretion and glucose regulation, may be effective to preserve and expand beta cell mass, which has been shown in animals. Ideal candidates for this treatment are newly diagnosed patients who still have significant viable beta cell mass.

By CHARI JELSMASun Advocate reporter
With the rising costs of medical and dental insurance, John Daniels, human resource director for Price City, proposed an alternative for volunteer firefighters and their benefit plan at the city council meeting on May 25.
The current benefit policy is unclear when describing benefit eligibility for Price City workers.
In a memo sent to Price City mayor, Joe Piccolo, Daniels stated that the current policy is confusing and that as a result, Price city may have liability for benefits they haven't granted employees.
He also stated that with the rising costs of benefits, most other organizations either require a portion of the benefit cost to be paid by the employee or they provide no benefits at all. Price city currently pays the entire cost of the medical insurance for employees and dependents.
From 2004 to 2005, benefits such as medical and dental insurance cost Price City $972,000. For the 2005 to 2006 fiscal year the cost is projected to go up to $1,130,000.
Currently, insurance costs for the city are $961.90 a month per employee, while costs were $827.27 last year. The increase included a 17.14 percent increase for medical, a 2 percent increase for dental and a 4 percent increase in accidental death from the insurance provider.
When those benefits are added to the $50 monthly compensation volunteer fire fighters receive, the city pays out a total of $12,142.80 for each volunteer fire fighter in a year.
Daniels states in the memo that Fire Chief Kent Boyack agreed with his proposal that future volunteer firefighters be ineligible for benefits which would dramatically decrease costs for the city.
With the proposal to eliminate benefits, a recommendation was also made that the amount of cash compensation for firefighters be raised from $50 per month to $500 per month for firefighters, $550 for captains, and $600 for the Assistant Chief.
Boyack also recommended an extra pay increase of $200 a month for Lyle Bauer, Paul Bedont and Carey Seals, because one is a city employee already with insurance and the other two declined the insurance originally because they already have it with their current jobs.
Currently employed firefighters would have no changes in their benefits unless they wished to opt out of the insurance. This would mean that they would be eligible for the increased monthly compensation instead of receiving dental and medical benefits.
A majority of Price City Fire Department members felt Price City would still attract qualified and highly motivated firefighters if they pay the increased compensation.
One firefighter who attended the city council meeting said that with the average hours of training and calls compared to Sandy City in northern Utah, Price would be on about even on an hourly basis. He also stated that even though Sandy City is a larger area than Price, they pay the least amount of compensation for fire fighters on the Wasatch Front.
Another city mentioned to be similar to Price in size was Vernal, whose fire fighters receive $15 per call and $15 per training hour. If Vernal employees choose to purchase city insurance, they are required to pay 15 percent while the firefighters pay 25 percent of the cost.
Among other cities and towns with fire departments containing part-time employees in Utah, only Heber allowed for the purchase of insurance, which costs more than a $300 a month for the fire fighters.
At the council meeting, Daniel's recommended that the council make two motions. The first motion would be to prepare and adopt a resolution changing the current policies, making it clear that only full-time employees be eligible for insurance. Current employees would remain eligible.
The second motion would be to prepare a resolution establishing that part-time members of the Price Fire Department would receive $500 for firefighters, $550 for captains, and $600 for the Assistant Chief.
"The other element of my proposal, as you probably saw, is that amount wouldn't be subject to a cost of living or annual increase." said Daniels. "I have discussed this with the fire department."
He also added that the change would also be subject to an occasional review of compensation.
City council member, Mae Aguayo, made two motions and both passed unanimously.

It depends a great deal on the type of sound it makes, these were made as sirens and horns for use in emergencies and for early automobiles. They were generically referred to as "Klaxons". The original Klaxon was developed in the early twentieth century, and the design was purchased by the New Jersey based Lovell-McConnell manufacturing company in 1908. The "Klaxon" name is derived from the Greek klazo, to shriek. These Klaxons first were used on cars and bicycles later the same year. The Klaxon was also used as a general alarm for use as an evacuation, general alert alarm, and for military and naval alarms.

Last night at around 8 p.m., Al Franken, who is here on behalf of Air America, got into a shoving match with Laura Ingraham's producer. The two men argued about whether Franken had agreed to go on Laura's show and then reneged. The producer started to walk away, but Franken chased him, yelling insults, and the altercation followed. Here is a photo:
As I recall, this isn't the first fight Franken has been in in recent months. Maybe the strain of trying to prop up the Kerry campaign is starting to tell.

The military is a job, a profession. And at a job, you have to show up for work. It is not hard, but some folks struggle with it. Petty Officer First Class Russell Matthews was either AWOL or had some sort of odd health issue:
A Coast Guardsman has reappeared after vanishing and being declared a missing person more than three months ago, Honolulu police and the Coast Guard said Tuesday.
Petty Officer First Class Russell Matthews returned home Sunday night, police said. Police say he was incoherent and taken to a hospital for observation.
Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Gene Maestas said the service doesn't know where Matthews, a Hawaii-based rescue swimmer, has been and what he's been doing since his wife reported him missing on Oct. 9.
Coast Guard investigators dispatched to see him confirmed his identity after he called his command from Castle Medical Center in the Honolulu suburb of Kailua, Maestas said. He's now being evaluated at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu.
Coast Guard investigators looking into his disappearance won't question him until he's released by doctors, Maestas said. But the service will probe the incident.
Strange story. . .
