Introduction:  
  Breaking News.....

After an emergency meeting of the PTA committee the parents of Eagle Avenue Middle School have banned the use of the Internet at school! After a vote to put a hold on all Internet activities the parents of Eagle Avenue students vow that they will never again allow their students to be put in danger by giving them access to the Internet. These parents believe that the Internet is nothing more than an unsafe playground. After much pleading for the students by their computer teachers, the parents have agreed to meet again next week for a final vote. Will the Internet be banned forever? Or can the students of Eagle Avenue change their future?
Task:  
  Your parents are trying to ban the Internet! It is up to you and your teammates to make sure that does not happen.
