4 news articles/reports utilizing data tables or charts

I found this site called Five Thirty Eight Sports about the world cup.  http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/world-cup/  It plots the teams as they advanced through the world cup playoffs.  The charts are easy read and very colorful.  This site is affiliated with ESPN sports.




I also found this government site that has different tables they used for statistics. It is called the CDC.gov website. They charted foodborne disease outbreaks, respiratory virus in the US, and vital signs among young adults who smoke cigarettes just to name a few.  very plain charts and tables but the information is interesting on them.

I found it very helpful


The next site I found was this one called  Chandoo.org.  The whole site is about making charts and graphs using excel.  He walks you through the process and has videos on utube also.  there also is free downloads for different templates.  http://chandoo.org/wp/category/visualization/






this was a very interesting and useful sit.  It is called six revisions and it is made for web developers and designers.  It is loaded with charts and graphs and helpful information.  it has cool ass charts on it!

4 software programs used most often

I guess that I might have 4 software programs that I use a lot.  The 1st would be Microsoft office.  I use the word document program for all my homework.  The 2nd would be Myitlab.  I used it for homework also.  The 3rd would be my finance lab.  I used it for my business finance class I had.  The 4th would be Norton security.  I used it to protect my computer against viruses.
