Theodore Roosevelt

     Article 1: Roosevelt carried a lethal dose of morphine with him to the River of Doubt after an embarrising presidencial loss. The expedition started on 1913 when Roosevelt and a small group of men traveled to Brazil and met a foreign minister who suggested traveling the River of Doubt with Colonel Rondon . Just three months into the journey Roosevelt had a high fever, malaria, and infection. They also ran into great rapids and were forced into the woods.Nearly all the medn suffered from fever and malaria. They also ran into a few indian attacks, the Wide Belts. Kermit's paddler drowned in the raoids,  and by the time they reached the six waterfalls they were exhasted. kermit and Cherrie lowered the dugouts down the river. In the end, only Roosevelt, kermit, and three other men survived. The river was then named Rio Roosevelt. Roosevelt never fully recovered.
     Article 2:1913, Roosevelt suffered from a humiliating defeat in the presedential election. Roosevelt traveled to South America to visit his son kermit and to travel the Amazon River Basin. Brazilian's minister of foreign affairs told Roosevelt about the River of Doubt and suggested joining forces with Candido Rondon. They experienced deadly rapids, indian attacks, disease, starvation, and a murderer within their own ranks. When Roosevelt and his crew finally reached the River of Doubt, it was renamed Rio Roosevelt. Most people didn't belive he made the journey.
     Article 3:Roosevelt began his journey to the River of Doubt after meeting a Brazilian Minister of foreign affairs.They began on December 9, 2012. There was a 900 mile trek with a 40 day excursion across Paraguay- the Amazon Divide leading to the headwaters of the River of Doubt. His crew consisted of 24-years-old Kermit, Colonel Rondon, Gearoge K., Cherrie, Joa Lyra, Dr. Cajazeira, and 16 skilled caamaradas or paddlers. They had 7 dugouts and faced dangerous rapids. On March 15, one of the paddlers died trying to save Kermits's canoe. The men also suffered from fever and insect bites. April 27, 1914, Roosevelt reached the River of Doubt and arrived in Sao Joao. The river was renamed Roosevelt River by the Brazillian government. Roosevelt never fully recovered, he suffered from recurring malaria until his death in 1919.

Online Safety

          On October 8, 2012, Anthony E. Caputo made a threat on Facebook that he was going to bomb the PBL wing of a Milan High School. Later, when the police arrived at Mr. Caputo's house, he reportedly confessed to making the threats. Anthony Caputo was taken into custody by the Milan Police. Anthony was then charged with two felonies and will be in court October 24, 2012.
          Threats like these should be taken very seriously. Although Anthony claimed he was bored and was using quotes from "Dark Night", someone else might not be joking around. If not taken seriously then someone could really harm people. You will never being able to really tell whether someone is joking around or not, but the threat is deadly so just take precautions now and punish those who decide it's "Funny".
           I honestly believe that Anthony Caputo should indeed be punished. What he did was not right. He could have endangered many people, including multiple children, teens, and elders.We need to start getting people to use the Internet for good use instead of threats and things used for harm. The Internet shouldn't be something people run and hide from.
           I believe that Anthony's punishment shouldn't be something where he can just skate on by and forget what he did. I think that he should indeed be fined with two felonies. Also, he should have about two years in jail. On top of all that, I think that Anthony should have to go to other schools around the U.S and talk to children and teenagers about how abusing the Internet is wrong and you should not abuse it because punishments suck. I think he should have to tell his story and tell kids what a mistake that was.

Feed Readers

Google Reader was much more simple to follow than Technorati. For google reader all you did was search something and click subscribe. For Technorati you have to search a site, go to the site, copy the URL, paste it in the subscribe bar into google reader and save it there. Technorati is super complicated and i am all for quick and easy. I feel like Technorati is a good website if you're looking for a post because if you search for a blog you get a lot of junk blogs poping up.
