Gun Ownership by State In 2001 the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveyed 201,881 respondents nationwide, asking them, "Are any firearms now kept in or around your home? Include those kept in a garage, outdoor storage area, car, truck, or other motor vehicle." http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/data/table_20.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/health/interactives/guns/ownership.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population Data for Florida and Washington, D.C. not included

1. What is the optimal number of bubbles for a bubble chart? 20, 50 or even 100? Showing 344 bubbles is probably too many in this case. I think it depends on the data - when there is more variation in the size of bubbles, we can show more bubbles. In these cases the relative size and characteristics of the large bubbles may be more important than the characteristics of the small bubbles. 2. It's neat that we can base the color on different label columns. 3. I prepared the data by extracting the list of 344 movies that have grossed over $200,000,000 world-wide (not adjusted for inflation). This was then converted into 'Tickets Sold' by dividing the gross amount into the average ticket price (in US$) for the year in which the movie was released. With this method, movies from earlier decades are under-represented. From a glance it seems that there are more blockbusters in the 2000s that in the 1990s and 1980s - I do not know if that is true.

I saw an article in the NY Times of Oct 15, 2008 -"Infant Deaths Drop in U.S., but Rate Is Still High" stating: "In 1960, the United States ranked 12th lowest in the world, but by 2004, ... that ranking had dropped to 29th lowest." The article is based on http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db09.htm

Thanks - It's the 2009 New Car preview (Consumer Reports). I've excluded models where the fuel consumption was not available, and used the smallest engine and lowest base price for models with more than one engines.
