Has a couple of videos with very detailed data visualization techniques employed by the New York Times to monitor the way their social media articles propagate through the internet. It evolves with time and shows many variables including the number of user's reading it and their locations.

This is a cool argument for the new (next season) 1 game playoff between the top two wild-card teams in the NL and AL, and why it should work

every instance of the phrase "is the new" encountered from various sources in 2005

Subjective

Probability:  This article uses mainly the axiomatic notion of probability but touches on the subjective and empirical notions as well. 

Empirical Probability, its eggselent!!

This article approaches probability axiomatically. The scientists first estimated how many of the fragments of satellite would burn up on reentry based on their size. Then, for the components they expect survived the reentry, they determined the probability that they would hit any populated area and cause damage. They reasoned that since most of the planet's surface is water, there is a greater probability for the satellite debris to land in the ocean rather than on land.

"Beau's caretakers at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn say he has a 94 percent accuracy rating..." I'd say this is an example of subjective probability.

This article contains axiomatic probability because it checks the ways this specific event can occur (West Antarctic Sheet collapsing) and compares it to the number of outcomes that can occur (whether it collapses or remains). 

For all the odds that don't really matter.

I know its not from the news but I couldn't resist. 50%: empirical 89%: subjective

So, so true...

This has something to do with that... http://joedullblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/usb-4th-dimension1.gif

Here's a (new to me) blog all about data visualization.

Pagination is interesting for splitting up into sections

The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic, titled "America's View on Evolution and Creationism," uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.

anyqs How has the tree distribution has changed since 2002? It would be valuable to see areas of recent over-logging in red and areas of new growth in a lighter green.

anyqs This visualization is pretty interesting however I feel its lacking something to compare it to. I wonder how this tree distribution differs from the pre-industrial revolution distribution? Is today's tree distribution worse than before because of pollution and over-foresting? I also agree with Taylor, I think a different color like red to show recent over-logging would be very valuable to the viewer. anyqs

anyqs I wonder how the distribution of trees in the North West would change if we counted trees, not Biomass in tonnes, since so many of the trees there are large Redwoods which are considerably heavier trees due to their size.
