Twenty-seven vehicles from twelve manufacturers earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's 2010 TOP SAFETY PICK award for demonstrating good ratings for occupant protection in frontal, side, rear, and now roof strength tests. For the first time, good performance in a new roof strength test measuring protection in rollovers is required. While many vehicles improved, some like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord lost the award for insufficient roof strength ratings. The addition of the roof test criterion recognizes manufacturers that provide good rollover protection.
Science Fair Presentation at Weatherford Christian School (Texas), January 2005Jeffrey Bledsoe
This slideshow documents a set of slides that were attached to a tri-fold and presented at a science fair as a model of a new way for students to explore scientific inquiries. It was an attempt to show science teachers at a private school how students could mine online data and use the scientific method to draw conclusions about the data.
The effort was unsuccessful. The science fair coordinator was adament that my model project wasn't "real science." When I asked her if she hadn't seen scientific presentations on global warming that had mined climate databases, she would not be swayed.
