Duke researchers say "quit score" could help some smokers kick the habit
Statistics show 70 percent of the nation's nearly fifty million smokers want to quit. But only a fraction of those actually succeed, no matter what method they try.
Now, Duke University Medical Center researchers and experts at the National Institute on Drug Abuse say the genetic profile of an individual smoker can yield a "quit score" that, combined with that smoker's habits, can be used to identify which smoking cessation therapy could work best.

Addition and Subtraction Face-Off! Game
Students place markers on the numbers 2-12. Students toss two 6-sided dice, find the sum and remove a marker from that number, if there is still one. The first player to remove all markers wins the game. This game can be used as addition practice or as an introduction to the probability of the different outcomes of rolling two dice. This game was developed by a Monmouth University student for the Probability Fair. These games help students acquire proficiency in addition and subtraction facts.

Risky Business: Analysis from an Engineering Perspective - Elisabeth Paté-Cornell (Stanford Univers
Don't set sail without thinking first: this sage advice sums up risk analysis for Elisabeth Paté-Cornell, department chair of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. She explains that risk assessment involves the study of scenarios, probabilities, and consequences. A risk analyst uses logic and statistics to makes sense of uncertainties and provides possible solutions to derail disaster. While some events force quick thinking, most can be avoided with a little forethought. Af
