Robert Johnson Internet Evaluation CARS checklist

The agenda of the internet article I found is titled "Older Adult Education in the United States". This article was written by Doctor Ronald J. Manheimer of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. This article is written by a doctor from a University who is in charge of the University of North Carolina's Center for Creative Retirement. The author is someone that could be considered an expert on the education of adults. His career is providing education to retired aged adults.
This article makes many statements that may be should not be accepted at face value. One of these statements is new organizations that increase the assimilation of new knowledge will have an increase in participation as a result of rapid technological changes. This can't be excepted at face value because it is impossible to know what effects new organizations will have before they begin. Some of the author's statements reflect opinion as opposed to hard core facts. One opinion of Doctor Manheimer is learning beside younger people will be attractive to the older population. All these things go along with the author's intended purpose of promoting the University of North Carolina's Center for Creative Retirement. Although opinions are stated several times in the article, facts are stated with the source of the information being stated within the contents of the article. One of the facts stated is the percentage of senior citizens attending college, which was information gathered by the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education.
The author also describes benefits of other organizations for the education of the elderly. He does not list anything negative about any organization or make any reference alluding to North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement being any better to the other organizations. The author does not state anything negative about the Center for Creative Retirement. Nothing he says appears to conterdict anything else in the article and the author has one clear thought throughout the entire article.
Many claims Dr. Manheimer makes are cited and he gives a complete list of all his sources. He also has a section on where to find more information. Although this article is supported by many sources, it may be outdated because it is from 2002. A lot may have changed since then and much of the information presented in this article may be absolete or very different at the current time.

Robert Johnson Snow

Snow is an often misunderstood commodity. Snow can be fun, although it may be frustrating and annoying. Snow comes when it is cold and many people have never seen snow. Snow is not a bad thing and I think people make to much of it. Snow can be just as important as rain. Snow is something people should prepare for but not fear it can soometimes be dangerous.

I watched the inaguration. I foun it very enthusiastic and informative. I hope Obama makes a great prisdent. He is probably better than Busch. I do believe there was too much emphasis on him being black.

Argument blog

The last argument I had was with my father over if I had served and honored him enough. I appolagized for not living up to him the wat I should, but he said I had nothing to be sorry about and that I was doing just fine. When he told me this I reminded him of me taking a leave of absence from working at Fricsh's to see my mother and then not being able to go back because of the economic down turn. I also told him I regretted doing this and it was a great failure. I also told him that I had not expanded my mind to the horizon I could and I felt I had been waisting my mind by not learning all the things I could. I am ignorant of so much and have not been able to fully understand many things.

Research Paper

I have written several research paper on various topics. In English 111 I wrote an arguement paper arguing against the trade embargo against Cuba. I have never seen any benefit to these embargoes and I have often found these embargoes to detremental. Who has benefited from this? My Junior year of high school I wote a thirty page reseach paper on the history of Star Wars, which was edited down form a one hundred page paper I had previously. I have on several times written research papers on different Star Wars characters for my own amusement. I have also written several research papers on various lifeforms I have found interesting.
