Note that I added the last column, 1995-2004 averages

Tables I used to make the charts in the powerpoint

These tables aggregate the information in tables 4, 5 and 6 from NSF

1995-2004 average data

2004 data (I didn't include this information in the powerpoint because it was consistent with the long-term averages)

Comparing 1995-2004 averages with 2004 (again didn't include because the trends were very similar)
