For Lab 1 you need to track down your own data to fuse into the boundary Flash file provided. I don't want you to spend too much time selecting data -- the focus of Lab 1 is to play around with Flash and compile a decent static map. If you are still looking for data, this site might have something: http://www.statemaster.com/index.php But any data, any topic is fine so long as it is appropriate for choropleth maps.
