Do you want a job in the future that doesn’t have too much stress? According to Money Magazine and PayScale.com, in the United States, the 10 jobs with the least stress are biomedical engineer, transportation engineer, statistician, Web developer, geographic information systems analyst, technical writer, test software development engineer, marketing consultant, civil engineer, and optometrist. Notice anything similar? Almost all of the jobs require more than just basic computer skills, and most require math and statistical abilities. So, if you love math, you may (or may not) have a less stressful future ahead of you than your friend who loves literature. (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)

Do you have a pet? How far would you go to save it? A woman in Santa Cruz, California, used CPR (the technique of doing chest compressions and breathing into the nose) to save her Italian greyhound’s life after she found the dog hanging out of the window of a car. The dog, it seems, was attached to a leash to keep it in the car, but somehow the dog had gotten out of the window. The woman was lucky because the Veterinary Information Network said CPR is often not successful on pets. (by Prof. Carmella Lieske )
