The Alaska North Slope is a region of the U.S. state of Alaska.
It is on the northern slope of the Brooks Range along the coast of the Arctic Ocean.
The North Slope is known for having lots of oil.
The National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska and the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field are the two biggest areas where oil is found.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is there also, and there has been a lot of debate about drilling for oil there.
The oil from the North Slope is pumped south in pipes, called the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, to Valdez where it is loaded onto ships.
Because the Alaska North Slope is very far north, it gets very cold there.
Only the top of the soil, called tundra, melts each season.
Because of this, most of the soil is frozen all the time.
This frozen soil is called permafrost.
On top of the permafrost, water flows in shallow braided streams.
Some of it goes into ponds.

Southeast Alaska, sometimes called the Alaska Panhandle is the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Alaska.
It is west of the northern half of the Canadian province of British Columbia.
A lot of the panhandle is part of the Tongass National Forest, which is the biggest national forest in the United States.
This part of Alaska is known for its mild rainy climate and beautiful scenery.
Southeast Alaska is the end of the Inside Passage.
The Inside Passage a way to get to Alaska by boat or ship without having to go out in the open ocean.
It begins all the way down in Puget Sound in Washington state.
This was a way for native canoeists to get around.
Later during the  gold-rush steam ships used it.
Today it is used by ferries and cruise ships.
The Panhandle has a land area of .
This is only   6.14% of Alaska's land area, but the Panhandle is bigger than Maine, and almost as big as the state of Indiana.
The 2000 census population of the Panhandle was 72,954 people.
About 42% of them live in the city of Juneau.
There are lots of parks and forests in Southeast Alaska, and many islands.
The largest islands are,  Chichagof Island, Admiralty Island, Baranof Island, and Prince of Wales Island.
On August 20, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt opened the Alexander Archipelago Forest Reserve,  which became the Tongass National Forest later.
Climate and wildlife
Southeast Alaska is a  rain forest within what is called the Pacific temperate rain forest zone.
The most common trees are evergreens called the sitka spruce and the western hemlock.
Wildlife you might see on land there include brown bears, black bears, wolves, and deer.
In the ocean there are humpback whales, orcas, five species of salmon and many other kinds of fish.
Some of the birds in the area  are Bald Eagles, and many kinds of gulls,  ducks, and other seabirds and waterfowl.
The big cities in Southeast Alaska are Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka.
Some other towns are Petersburg, Wrangell, Angoon, Craig, Klawock and Skagway.
There are also many very small towns and villages, with less than 100 people in them.
Many tribes of Natives have lived in Southeast Alaska for a long time.
This biggest group are called the  Tlingit people.
A long time ago another people called the Haida lived there.
Today people called the Tsimshian live there too.
The region is close to Seattle and the American Pacific Northwest and has a lot in common with that area.
A lot of people in Southeast Alaska work in commercial fishing or tourism .
Logging  also used to be done a lot there.
Because of all the mountains, glaciers, and towns on islands in Southeastern Alaska, almost all the towns except Hyder, Skagway, and Haines have no roads that go to other places.
Airplanes and boats are the major means of transport.

Nuclear espionage is sharing a country's secrets about nuclear weapons to other countries without permission.
Since nuclear weapons have been invented, there have been many cases of known nuclear espionage, and also many cases where it has thought to have happened, but has not been proven.
Because nuclear weapons are usually considered the most important of state secrets, all nations with nuclear weapons have strict rules against sharing information about how nuclear weapons are designed, where they are kept, and other things about them.
There are also rules that keep countries who have signed non-proliferation agreements (which are meant to stop the spread of nuclear weapons) from sharing information about such weapons with the public.
During the Manhattan Project, which was when the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada worked together during World War II to make the first nuclear weapons, there was much nuclear espionage in which scientists or technicians working for the project sent information about bomb development and designs to the Soviet Union.
These people are often called the Atomic Spies, and their work continued into the early Cold War.
There has been much disagreement over the exact details of these cases, though some of this was settled when VENONA Project transcripts were made public.
These were secret messages between Soviet agents and the Soviet government that were discovered and decoded.
Some issues remain unsettled, however.
Klaus Fuchs – A physicist who had escaped Germany and who worked with the British at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project.
He was eventually discovered.
He confessed, and was sentenced to jail in Britain.
He was later released, and he moved  to East Germany.
Because of his close connection to many parts of the project, and his deep technical knowledge, he is considered to have been the most valuable of the "Atomic Spies" in terms of the information he gave to the Soviet Union about the American fission bomb program.
He also gave early information about the American hydrogen bomb program but since he was not there at the time that the successful Teller-Ulam design was discovered, his information on this is not thought to have been of much value.
Theodore Hall – a young American physicist at Los Alamos, whose spying was not revealed until very late in the twentieth century.
He was never arrested because of his spying, and never completely admitted it.
David Greenglass – an American machine worker at Los Alamos National Laboratory during the Manhattan Project.
Greenglass confessed that he gave rough diagrams of lab experiments to the Soviet Union during World War II.
Some parts of his testimony against his sister and brother-in-law (the Rosenbergs, see below) are now thought to have been made up to try to keep his own wife out of trouble.
Greenglass admitted spying and was given a long prison term.
George Koval – The American born son of a family that was from Belarus.
He moved to the Soviet Union where he joined the Red Army and the GRU intelligence service.
He found his way into the US Army, and became a radiation health officer.
He got information about the Urchin detonator used on the plutonium bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
His work was not known to the United States until 2007, when he was recognized after his death as a hero of the Russian Federation by Vladimir Putin.
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg – Americans who were supposedly involved in coordinating and recruiting an episonage network which included David Greenglass.
While most scholars believe that Julius was likely involved in some sort of network, whether or not Ethel was involved or aware of the activities remains a matter of dispute.
Julius and Ethel refused to confess to any charges, and were convicted and executed at Sing-Sing Prison.
Harry Gold – American, admitted working for Greenglass and Fuchs.
The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in 1949.
There is disagreement over whether this spying helped the Soviet Union make an atomic bomb faster.
While some of the information given, such as information given by Klaus Fuchs, could probably have been very helpful, the way the people in charge of the Soviet bomb project actually used the information has led later scholars to think it did not actually speed up the Soviet Union's process of making bombs much.
According to this account, the information was mostly used as a "check" against the Soviet Union's own scientists' work, and little of it was actually shared with the Soviet scientists because neither their scientists nor spies were trusted much.
Later scholarship has also shown that the biggest problem with the Soviets' early development was not problems designing the weapons, but rather problems getting the materials.
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, who had worked at a nuclear facility in Israel, gave  information about Israel's nuclear weapons program to the British press.
People had thought before that Israel had an advanced and secretive nuclear weapons program and collection, but now they knew for sure.
Israel has never said that it does or does not have a nuclear weapons program, and Vanunu was kidnapped and smuggled to Israel, where he was convicted of treason and espionage.
Whether Vanunu was technically involved in espionage is debated: Vanunu and his supporters say that he should be called a whistle-blower (someone who was exposing something secret and illegal), while his opponents think that he is a traitor and that what he did helped enemies of Israel.
After Vanunu left Israel, he did not give his information right away.
He travelled for about a year before doing so.
In a 1999 report of the United States House of Representatives Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China, chaired by Rep. Christopher Cox (called the Cox Report), it was revealed that U.S. security agencies thought there was nuclear espionage going on by the People's Republic of China (PRC) at American nuclear weapons design laboratories.
The report said that China had "stolen classified information on all of the United States' most advanced thermonuclear warheads" since the 1970s, including the design of advanced warheads, the neutron bomb, and "weapons codes" which allow for computer simulations of nuclear testing (and allow China to advance their weapon development without doing its own tests).
The United States apparently did not know of this until 1995.
The investigations described in the report eventually led to the arrest of Wen Ho Lee, a scientist at Los Alamos, who was at first accused of giving weapons information to China.
The case against Lee eventually fell apart, however, and he was eventually charged only with mishandling of data.
Other people and groups arrested or fined were scientist Peter Lee (not related to Wen Ho Lee), who was arrested for allegedly giving submarine radar secrets to China, and Loral Space & Communications and Hughes Electronics, who gave China missile secrets.
No other arrests from the theft of the nuclear designs have been made.
In January 2004, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, a Pakistani nuclear scientist, admitted selling restricted nuclear weapons technology to Libya, Iran, and North Korea.
According to his testimony and reports from intelligence agencies, Khan sold designs for centrifuges used to enrich uranium and Chinese designs for a nuclear warhead, and sold centrifuges themselves to these three countries.
Khan had previously been said to have taken gas centrifuge designs from a uranium enrichment company in the Netherlands (URENCO) which he used to help Pakistan's own nuclear weapons program get started.
On February 5, 2004, the president of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, said that he had pardoned Khan.
Pakistan's government says that they had no part in the espionage, but refuses to turn Khan over for questioning by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A bush airplane is an aircraft serving far away areas of a country, usually the African, Alaskan, and Canadian tundra or the Australian Outback.
They are used where the road system is not good, or where there are no roads.
Many planes used as bush planes are made by Cessna, or other makers of small and medium-sized airplanes
Common traits
High wings make it easier for the pilot to see.
There is also more space between the wing and plants and rocks on the ground.
Bush airplanes usually have two large main wheels in the front and one small wheel in the back.
This makes the plane tilt up in the front when it is on the ground, which makes it easier and safer to take off on a short or bumpy runway.
Special modifications to the avionics also help the plane take off on short runways
Extra large tires help the plane to land and take off in bumpy places.
Sometimes a bush pilot will land (and take off) where no airplane has been before.
Some bush planes have floats for landing on water or skis for landing on snow.

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is a museum in Springfield, Illinois.
It contains papers and exhibits about U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
Much of the museum is made of dioramas, or re-creations of scenes from the life of Lincoln.
These include scenes of Lincoln in Springfield, Lincoln in the White House, and Lincoln at Ford's Theater.
They were designed by Bob Rogers, who used to work for The Walt Disney Company as a designer.
Some historians did not like that the exhibits were designed by someone who had worked for Disney.
They thought that Disney people do not tell American history the right way.
Along with the dioramas are original artifacts of Lincoln, such as the first copy of the Gettysburg Address.
The library's founding director was Richard Norton Smith, who wrote several books on American presidents.
Its current director is Eileen R. Mackevich.
Run by the state of Illinois, the library opened on April 19, 2005.
After three years, it had more than 1.5 million visitors.

American Beauty is a 1999 American drama movie directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball.
Kevin Spacey stars as Lester Burnham, an advertising executive who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter's best friend, played by Mena Suvari.
Annette Bening stars as Lester's materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane.
Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper, and Allison Janney also feature.
Academics have described the movie as a satire of American middle-class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; further analysis has focused on the film's explorations of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, materialism, self-liberation, and redemption.
Ball began writing American Beauty as a play in the early 1990s, partly inspired by the media circus that accompanied the Amy Fisher trial in 1992.
He shelved the play after deciding that the story would not work on stage.
After several years as a television screenwriter, Ball revived the idea in 1997 when attempting to break into the movie industry.
The rewritten script had a cynical outlook influenced by Ball's frustrating tenures writing for several sitcoms.
Producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen took the script for American Beauty to the fledgling DreamWorks studio, which bought it for $250,000, outbidding several other production bodies.
DreamWorks financed the $15 million production and served as its North American distributor.
American Beauty marked acclaimed theater director Mendes' movie debut; courted after his successful productions of the musicals Oliver!
and Cabaret, Mendes was nevertheless only given the job after twenty others were considered and several A-list directors reportedly turned down the opportunity.
Spacey was Mendes' first choice for the role of Lester, though DreamWorks urged him to consider better-known actors.
Similarly, the studio suggested several actresses for the role of Carolyn until Mendes offered the part to Bening without the studio's knowledge.
Filming took place between December 1998 and February 1999 on sound stages at the Warner Bros. backlot in Burbank, California and on location in Los Angeles.
Mendes' dominant directorial style was deliberate and composed; he made extensive use of static shots and slow pans and zooms to generate tension.
Cinematographer Conrad L. Hall complemented Mendes' style with peaceful shot compositions to contrast with the turbulent on-screen events.
During editing, Mendes made several changes that softened the cynical tone of Ball's script.
Released in North America on September 17, 1999, American Beauty was acclaimed by critics and audiences; it was the best-reviewed American film of the year and grossed over $350 million worldwide.
Reviewers praised most aspects of the production, with particular emphasis on Mendes, Spacey and Ball; criticism tended to focus on the familiarity of the characters and setting.
DreamWorks launched a major campaign to increase American Beauty's chances of Oscar success; at the 2000 ceremony the movie won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Spacey), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
The movie was nominated for and won many other awards and honors, mainly for directing, writing and acting.

The Mount Cayley volcanic field is a volcanic area on the south coast of British Columbia, Canada.
The field gets its name from Mount Cayley, the biggest of several active volcanos in the area.
Most of the volcanoes there were created when material from inside the earth spilled onto the surface.
Under the earth were layers of glacial ice from the last ice age.
There are tuya—steep, flat-topped volcanoes—and lava domes.
The first eruptions in the field occurred between 1.6 and 5.3 million years ago, and at least 23 eruptions have occurred in all.
The southern area has the most known volcanoes—11.
The center of the field has at least five volcanoes, and the north has two volcanoes.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (or adult-onset diabetes) is a metabolic disorder where high levels of blood sugar  occur.
Left untreated, it can cause heart attacks, strokes, blindness and kidney failure.
Usually, blood sugar levels are regulated by insulin, but in type 2 diabetes this does not work properly.
Insulin is a hormone which tells the muscle and fat cells of the body to take up sugar from the blood.
If there is too much sugar in the blood for a long period of time, the muscle and fat cells start to ignore insulin.
As a result, sugar stays in the blood and is not taken up, leading to a high blood sugar.
This situation is different from diabetes mellitus type 1.
In this case, the islet cells, which make insulin in the pancreas, have been destroyed by the body, and as a result there is no insulin.
Diabetes type 1 usually occurs in children or young adults, whilst diabetes type 2 usually occurs in older people.
However, recently childhood obesity has led to some young adults and teenagers developing type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes makes up around 90% of cases of diabetes, while type 1 diabetes and other types of diabetes make up the other 10%.
Type 2 diabetes is a result of both genetics and lifestyle.
People who have relatives with diabetes type 2 are at an increased risk.
They may develop diabetes if they have other risk factors in their lifestyle, for example obesity, or low amount of exercise.
Type 2 diabetes can often be treated just by losing weight and exercising more, as these increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
A medicine called Metformin is often prescribed, which works by helping the fat and muscle cells of the body listen to the signal from insulin to take up sugar from the blood.
