The campers addressed three of their human needs which human needs. First they had tunnel are Physical, Safety, and Social needs. these human needs are listed from shovels to dig their way into the snow. Maslouis Hierarchy of human needs. Maslouis Hierarchy is a chain from basic The campers had different type of to advanced human needs. clothing, waterproof jackets and pants, First of all the five boys addressed their physical needs. The first need is bringing wool sweaters. They also had food food to eat. The campers brought canned beans to eat, and hot cocoa to drink. supplies. A good thing that they had was They built Quinzee huts for shelter. The huts had air and warmth.

Shelter is a good safety need because and can cause hypothermia. it protects you from the outside. The hut they were using was called a Quinzee hut. it was a 10 by 8 foot mound of snow, hollowed out with a underground entrance. Other safety needs is having proper clothing, NO COTTON, warm sleeping bag, and having tools in a backpack. Explanation Finally social needs. Social needs can be useful while camping with friends. The campers hung out by the fire in the snow. They drank hot cocoa because they were cold and tired to stay warm. The five boys worked together and built five Quinzee huts so they didn’t have to build them in the dark and in the cold. The Iceman Campeth taught me a lot about ice camping. How like Quinzee huts are hollowed out hounds of snow with a underground entrance. In safety needs it taught me that wearing cotton absorbers water and takes your body heat away. Also safety showed me that they blocked the entrance with their backpack from the outside. From my point of view, try going ice camping when it snows in your town.

Tenured 'Hacktivists' Back in 1998, the New York Times carried a story on "hacktivism," which it defined as "computer hacking . as a means to a political end." Online vandals had broken into government computer systems in China, India, Indonesia, Serbia and Croatia, and inserted their own messages. Another tactic was the denial-of-service attack, in which "an unusually large volume of requests will overwhelm the computer that is serving up the target's Web pages. This can cause legitimate visitors to see error messages instead of the pages they are seeking, and it can even crash the server computer." An outfit called Electronic Disturbance Theater had used denial-of-service attacks against America's defenses: On Nov. 22 [1998], the group says, it plans to attack the Web site of the School of the Americas, a United States Army training center for foreign military personnel, some of whom have been accused of human rights abuses. Recent targets have included the sites of Mexico's President, Ernesto Zedillo, and of the United States Defense Department. This worried U.S. officials, even during the Clinton administration: Security experts said the recent spate of digital vandalism underscores the risk to companies and governments that increasingly rely on the Internet for commerce and communication. ''What this demonstrates is the capacity of groups with political causes to hack into systems,'' said Michael A.

    Plugged In Issue Two • the official school newspaper of Speedway Senior High School • October 19, 2011 What would your Main Street look like? Changes continue after years of construction In 2005, the state legislature passed a law allowing towns like Speedway to create a redevelopment committee. Two years later, Speedway established its committee and the master plans for Main Street. h a n n a “For fifteen years v o n g p r a s e u t h people have talked about --- redevelopment, especially on Plugged In Features Writer Main Street,” says Scott Harris, Speedway Redevelopment Commission executive director. The progress has been a bit slow but now we can really start to see the benefits and the final outcome of those plans. In two years, Main Street has been completely repaved, benches have been added, and environmental friendly drains have been installed as part of a massive infrastructure improvement that was required by law. Last month, the lot by Charlie Brown’s was finalized with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. The Dallara buliding, also the first new structure on Main in fifteen years, is expected to be finished by the end of the month.

When the Gallant shines through, we show our best self. "You're never too young to change the world," says 12-year-old Zach Bonner, founder of the Little Red Wagon Foundation. Zach should know. He's been helping people since he was six years old. After Hurricane Charley wreaked havoc in his native state of Florida in August of 2004, Zach Bonner set out with his little red wagon to collect supplies. The weather forecasters had thought the hurricane would strike the town of Valrico, where Zach lived. But the storm went south. So the residents of Valrico no longer needed the supplies they had gathered in preparation for the hurricane. "I went around our neighborhood and put flyers in the mailboxes to let people know I would be coming around the next day to collect their excess water, food, and supplies," says Zach. He and his family then gave the supplies to a nearby town that was affected. When Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana the following year, Zach collected water, food, school supplies, and more. Then he and his family drove to New Orleans to drop off the materials for needy families. A Walk to Remember But Zach wanted to touch the lives of a much greater number of people. When he found out that there were more than one million homeless children in the United States, he knew he had found his cause.
