Online Research Exploration

I just went to the websites suggested for our online research portion of the class. I learner way more about search engines in this portion then I have ever known. I wish that I would have done this assignment earlier in the semester it would have really helped me out in my other classes. Especially my english class where I had to write an 8 page term paper. The nlc.state site was very interesting. It went a lot more indepth on some of the state information then google would have. I don't know if any other state has a site like this but if they do I would like to find it so that I can have it for futre assignment I may have to do about a certain subject. Then I went on to google search and I searched some of the government sites. I searched the one that dealt with capitol punishment. It had all of the statistics of people on death row and the ones who have been exicuted. Last year we exicuted 60 people nation wide that is one more then 2004. It was 59 males and one female who was exicuted last year nation wide. The sited showed that eventhougt more Blacks are incarcerated then Whites. Whites make up the majority of the death row population. It was a pretty interesting site that would have helped with my capitol punishment term paper. This was a very educational experience.
