A rear seat belt that inflates like an airbag upon impact. A radar-based technology that warns of an impending collision. A car that does the parallel parking for you. All these cutting-edge safety-related technologies developed by Ford Motor Co. were on display Wednesday for high school students in a Johns Hopkins University summer engineering program. The Dearborn, Mich.-based auto manufacturer called the event an opportunity for prospective engineers of the future to explore some of the car safety technologies that are about to emerge for the ultimate test drive in the marketplace.

Jeremy Dy was among a small group of Chesapeake Science Point Public Charter School students who took the PSAT/NMSQT, a national standardized test considered a precursor to college entrance exams, during the past school year. He and his peers excelled at the test, which is good, because they might be retaking it a few times. While most students take the test during 10th and 11th grades, some CSP students were tested as sixth-graders. Their efforts illustrate how students at the Hanover charter school are excelling at national levels, particularly in math.

WASHINGTON -- In a disturbing trend over the past six years, more high school students are using drugs and fewer consider drug use harmful, a new study indicates.Almost a third of American high school seniors -- and 13 percent of eighth-graders -- have used marijuana at least once in the last year, federal officials said, citing overall drug rates that are higher than in recent years but still lower than in the 1970s and early 1980s.As drug use climbs, the number of teen-agers expressing disapproval of drugs and concern about negative health effects from drug use have gone down, according to the federally funded study released yesterday by the University of Michigan.
