CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Thanks for checking in as we wrap up the week here on CNN Student News. I'm Carl Azuz. Rising waters in the Midwest: Extreme weather conditions aren't letting up in the region, which is struggling through some of the worst flooding in a hundred years. No cell phones allowed: Check out this camp in Korea, where teenagers have to turn in their digital devices and experience what it really means to go wireless. And gazing at the stars: A new technology lets you zoom in on the universe and makes a constellation close-up just a few clicks away.

AZUZ: First up today, the Midwestern U.S. is struggling through the worst flooding in a century. Severe weather is being blamed for at least 2 dozen deaths in the region, and the National Weather Service says more storms are on the way. Officials are also predicting temperatures close to 100 degrees in the area, and they expect that the heat is going to make the situation even worse. Rick Vincent has more on the extreme conditions.

RICK VINCENT, CNN REPORTER: The people of Findlay, Ohio, are dealing with the worst flooding in nearly 100 years. Wednesday, the Blanchard River rose seven feet above flood stage.

RED CROSS WORKER, WTVG: The whole city of Findlay has been impacted. I mean, you can't go anywhere in the city of Findlay and drive through a road.

VINCENT: It's so dangerous, people faced arrest for walking or driving overnight. The sheriff says 200 people are in shelters. This couple evacuated when the water moved inside.

PERSON ON THE STREET: The cushions were floating off the couch. And water was approximately three to four feet deep in the apartment.

VINCENT: In Kenosha County, Wisconsin, rain wiped out roads.

BILLY SZYDLO: The truck started floating away, so we just jumped out of the windows into the back of the truck. And the water started pouring into the tailgate, so we jumped out and swam back over here.

VINCENT: This truck floated into this woman's backyard, where she says the water's 12 feet deep.

JERI BROSE: They're lucky they got out alive, actually, because that current was very strong.

VINCENT: Rain triggered a mudslide that pushed this Minnesota home off its foundation.

LYNN PARTINGTON: It was like an avalanche of rock, trees and debris from, well, from the top of the hill all the way down. And it just blew the sides of the house out. And the roof dropped to the ground.

VINCENT: Lynn Partington pulled his wife and grandson out.

SHARON PARTINGTON: Yeah, he's my hero. He saved us both.

VINCENT: For CNN Student News, I'm Rick Vincent, in Atlanta.

AZUZ: Extreme weather's dominated headlines this week, mostly in the form of Hurricane Dean. If you access any of this week's CNN Student News transcripts, you can click on the Video tab and check out the full stories. Hear about Dean's destructive path through the Caribbean, and find out where the Category 5 hurricane was when it made landfall.

AZUZ: The Web. Can't live without it, right? It might be hard to imagine, but there was a time when if you wanted to surf, you had to be in the water. The Internet's only been around for about 20 years, but some people spend more time in the digital world than the real one. Sohn Jie-Ae visits a camp in South Korea where teens are getting back to the basics.

SOHN JIE-AE, CNN REPORTER: First order of the day: There go cell phones, digital music players, all things to do with the digital world. So begins a three-day, military-style boot camp for teenagers. Run by former Marines, the camp takes kids out of their comfort zone.

HAN KYUNG-WOO, RETIRED MARINE (TRANSLATED): Kids today spend all their time in front of a computer or on their cell phones, says this retired marine. We take all of these things away, and they get to experience a different kind of life.

SOHN: One in which, instead of virtual communication, they have to do a real freefall and hang on for dear life to a single strand of rope. "Focus, focus," the kids chant, as they realize the importance of the physical and mental connection over any wireless one.

According to one survey, in one of the world's most wired countries in the world, South Korean teenagers spend as much as four hours a day on the Internet. So it is no wonder that an increasing number of parents and teachers seem to prefer this kind of training for their teenagers' body and soul.

That was the thinking behind the teachers who, with the parents' approval, sent the nearly 300 high schoolers here.

HONG IK-SUN, CAMP VICE PRINCIPAL (TRANSLATED): I already see a different light in their eyes, says the vice principal. It's hard, but the kids are going to come out stronger.

SOHN: Well into his second day of military life, 18-year-old Cho Young-Ho is not convinced.

CHO YOUNG-HO, CAMPER: I like spending time with my friends, he says. But I can't wait to get out of here.

SOHN: The program includes plenty of marching and lifting, but the highlight is a rough and tumble ride on a river raft which tests their level of cooperation and endurance. Ahn Dae-Shik is a self-proclaimed Internet addict, but he's finding his experience here quite interesting.

AHN DAE-SHIK: I'm doing things I've never done before, he says. I think it's worth it.

SOHN: Nevertheless, asked what's the first thing he will do when he gets out, Ahn says he is going straight to his favorite Internet café. Sohn Jie-Ae, CNN, Muju, South Korea.

RAMSAY: Today's Shoutout goes out to Ms. Womack's classes at Bowling Green Junior High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky! What's another name for the North Star? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) Polaris, B) Cassiopeia, C) Andromeda or D) Orion? You've got three seconds -- GO! Polaris is the North Star; the other options you saw are constellations. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

A New View of Space

AZUZ: When you gaze up into the night sky, the stars can seem light years away, because, well, they are. But what if you could see a close-up of Polaris? Maybe even watch a supernova in action? Well now you can, thanks to a new technology that gives you a front row seat to outer space. Phil Black introduces us to Google Sky.

PHIL BLACK, CNN REPORTER: First there was Google Earth. Pick a destination, say, Buckingham Palace, and it takes you on a ride around the globe, zooming in from space for a close up aerial view of the Queen's house. Now Google has taken the same idea and turned it upside down.

ED PARSONS, GOOGLE: We thought we could use that same base technology, but put it in reverse and look outwards and use the imagery that the astronomy community has created and produce a really exciting new tool.

BLACK: That new tool is Google Sky. It's designed to explore what lies beyond Earth, starting with the backyard view of space from anywhere on the planet; the stars and constellations as you would see them above.

PARSONS: From that point, you can then start to zoom. And as you zoom out and bring in imagery that may be produced by NASA, from the space telescope, from terrestrial telescopes and show you pictures of nebulae, pictures of distant galaxies, show you the planets as they move throughout the year.

BLACK: The images and information are all available elsewhere, but Google says this is the only way you can navigate humankind's collective knowledge of space in one location. Scientists say this is exciting. Because throughout history, people have stared into space and wondered. Now, they hope having all this information so easily in one place will inspire a new generation to look up and study what lies beyond.

DR. FRANCISCO DIEGO, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON: There are no limits. And when you put this in the hands of millions of people, literally, the great public, in a way that has never done before, that has never been done before. This is public outreach for science in a way that is going to be very revolutionary.

BLACK: Like Google Earth, the Sky software delivers a different view of existence to your desktop, but without the same potential for voyeurism. Phil Black, CNN, London.

AZUZ: Before we go, an overdue honor for a World War II veteran. Arthur Williams was a flight mechanic for the Tuskegee Airmen. The historic group was the first African-American flying unit in the U.S. military. They fought in World War II, and last March, members were presented with the Congressional Gold Medal. But Mr. Williams wasn't there. He thought the ceremony was just for pilots. But his work was integral to the unit's success, and yesterday, he received his honor, a little delayed, but no doubt deserved.

AZUZ: We certainly offer our congratulations to Mr. Williams as well. And that'll close out this week of CNN Student News. Thanks for watching, everyone, and have a great weekend. I'm Carl Azuz.
