. . . During the '70s and '80s, the introduction of the catalytic converter, combined with increasingly stringent Environmental Protection Agency rules, steadily reduced the amount of leaded gasoline used in America, but Reyes discovered that this reduction wasn't uniform. In fact, use of leaded gasoline varied widely among states, and this gave Reyes the opening she needed. If childhood lead exposure really did produce criminal behavior in adults, you'd expect that in states where consumption of leaded gasoline declined slowly, crime would decline slowly too. Conversely, in states where it declined quickly, crime would decline quickly. And that's exactly what she found.
Meanwhile, Nevin had kept busy as well, and in 2007 he published a new paper looking at crime trends around the world (PDF). This way, he could make sure the close match he'd found between the lead curve and the crime curve wasn't just a coincidence. Sure, maybe the real culprit in the United States was something else happening at the exact same time, but what are the odds of that same something happening at several different times in several different countries?
Nevin collected lead data and crime data for Australia and found a close match. Ditto for Canada. And Great Britain and Finland and France and Italy and New Zealand and West Germany. Every time, the two curves fit each other astonishingly well. When I spoke to Nevin about this, I asked him if he had ever found a country that didn't fit the theory. "No," he replied. "Not one." . . .
The whole article is fascinating. And, as argued Tuesday, we should de-lead America's inner-city homes and apartments, because lead paint, too, has a terrible effect on our kids and the adults they grow up to be. We've gotten the lead out of gasoline. Now let's get it out of housing. The return on investment, as reported here, would be phenomenal.


I never liked the term, "friendly letter." When I was in elementary school, we reviewed the parts of a letter EVERY YEAR for like six years straight and then wrote pointless "friendly letters" that went nowhere. Huge snore. I disliked letter writing as a student, and I avoided letter writing activities for a long time as a teacher. Well, times change. I spend a lot of time on letter writing with my students now and here is why.
Students have a hard time addressing an envelope (and I teach 4th grade where they have been doing the friendly letter drill for awhile). They are unsure about how to organize the three address lines, don't know state abbreviations, and have trouble capitalizing correctly. When I ask students to address an envelope, they get to practice these skills. They are reminded how to write a complete name with a title (like Mrs. or Mr. or Dr.). They practice writing street abbreviations as part of the name of the street with capital letters (Center St. or Liberty Blvd.). They review state abbreviations and reinforce the comma between a city and a state.
If students add a return address to the envelope, they get a little extra work remembering their own address too.
So I am not necessarily referring to anyone I know, but for those of us who become slightly unbalanced when the address lines are all uneven on the envelope, slide a lined index card inside the envelope with the lines facing up. If the envelope is sheer enough (like a basic business envelope), you can see the guidelines when you press down to write. Your address lines will be straight and even making my the world a happy place.
We usually type our letters, but I am a fan of handwritten letters too. Either way, students learn to format a letter in a logical order. There is contact information at the top, a date, and a proper salutation. Even if our students in future years are handling all communication with employers, co-workers, or clients electronically, they will still need documents formatted in an order that is easy to read. This is just a good lifeskill.
If students know they will get tangible results from a project they complete, they are more likely to engage at a higher level. I have students write letters to people who reply (most of the time). In order to get a reply, my students have to communicate effectively in their letters and then address and mail it correctly. A formal letter requires full sentences, organized ideas, and a beginning, middle, and end. When we do receive a letter back, students gain experience with cause and effect– they wrote a letter asking for or providing information and received a reply responding to the content in the original letter.
Here are a few letter writing activity suggestions.
They are ideas that work at home as well as the classroom.
One of my favorite types of letters are thank you notes. The format of this letter does not have to be a full fancy business format. Casual is definitely acceptable. One benefit (among many) of the thank you note is that it requires children to reflect on something nice that has been done for them and then specifically recognize in written words why they appreciate the nice thing. I have a rating system for thank you notes on the post here.
An ongoing activity in my room is an author letter project. Students search contact information for a favorite author. The contact information could be an e-mail address, mailing address, or a publisher address. The students prepare a letter that details why they enjoyed a specific book by the author and gives reasons the book may have had an impact on the student. About half the time, we receive personal replies from the authors. You would not believe how an author reply can motivate a student to read! For more author letter tips, click here.
This year, students researched a state and contacted an alum from our school to ask for more information about the state and the history of our school. Again, we had about a 50% return rate. The men and women who wrote back to our students included many stories about their life at school when they were in the 4th grade. The connection to the history of the school made a much bigger impact than the rest of the state research project. I could not have replicated that by sharing something from a history textbook. The students made a personal connection with the alum. I liked that the students participated in an activity that stretched well beyond the classroom, and they created a link that was outside their everyday world. Write to a relatives or friends who live in a different town. Ask about how their life might be different from your own. It is a great way to discover old family stories or compare differences in cities, states, and regions. (Visit my teacher store to purchase the State Postcard Project).

Government publishes UK Cyber Security Strategy to protect public
The government's UK cyberscurity strategy includes a new crime unit, more certifications, increased public education, and the creation of kitemarks.
Ron Condon
Published: 28 Nov 2011 17:57
The government has unveiled its long-awaited UK Cyber Security Strategy document, intended both to boost Britain's defences against cyberattacks and create a safe environment for e-commerce to flourish.
The document, "The UK Cyber Security Strategy: Protecting and promoting the UK in a digital world", explains how a budget of £650 million will be spent to protect the UK from cyberattacks, boosting police efforts to catch criminals and also raising awareness among the general public.
We said we needed a culture shift within Cheltenham (GCHQ) where they hold the dark secrets of what's going on, so that some of that information could be more widely shared.
Ross Parsell
Thales UK
National Cyber Security Programme
As one of the outcomes of its Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2010, the government put in place a £650 million, four-year National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP). Half that money, according to the strategy paper, will go to Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the government's main intelligence centre in Cheltenham. In exchange for the extra funding, GCHQ will be expected to play a broader role and share its intelligence and technology for the economic benefit of the country.
"Government will explore ways in which expertise can more directly benefit economic growth and support the development of the UK cybersecurity sector without compromising the agency's core security and intelligence mission," the document says.
Increased security certifications
The UK Cyber Security Strategy document also recognises the need for more people to become experts in information security. It says the government aims to improve levels of professionalism in information assurance and cyberdefence across the public and private sectors. It also promises to establish a scheme for certifying the competence of information assurance and cybersecurity professionals by March 2012, and a scheme for certifying specialist training in 2012. It also mentions the Cyber Security Challenge as a way of bringing new talent into the profession.
National Crime Agency
Policing of cybercrime should also receive a boost. As part of the government's plan to create a National Crime Agency (NCA), it will create a new national cybercrime defence unit, drawing together the work currently carried out by the e-crime unit in the Serious and Organised Crime Agency and the Metropolitan Police's Central e-crime Unit. "The new unit will underpin the work of all four operational commands of the NCA (borders, organised crime, economic crime and Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP)) by providing specialist support, intelligence and guidance," the document says.
The plan will also encourage the greater use of professionals from the private sector to help with policing. "The Metropolitan Police Central e-crime Unit has made groundbreaking use of Police Specials with relevant specialist skills to help tackle cybercrime: We will encourage all police forces to make use of such 'cyber-specials,'" the document says. "We will involve people from outside law enforcement to help tackle cybercrime as part of the NCA cybercrime unit."
Education for the general public
An important part of the strategy will be an education programme to encourage better Internet 'hygiene' among the general public and greater awareness of the threats they face. According to GCHQ, 80% or more of successful attacks are defeatable by simple best practices, such as updating antivirus software regularly. It therefore aims to help people protect themselves by improving education about cybersecurity. For instance, the document suggests the government may use social media to spread the message about threats and online scams.
How government policies impact businesses and the public
Businesses apply government security standards to their own policies
Government's mishandling of data stirs privacy fears
The document also proposes the development of security "kitemarks" to help consumers buy reliable security products. "BIS will work with domestic, European and global and commercial standard organisations to stimulate the development of industry-led standards and guidance that help customers to navigate the market and differentiate companies with appropriate levels of protection and good cybersecurity products," it says.
The government also plans a bigger role for Get Safe Online, the government-backed initiative for promoting good Internet practice. The document says joint discussions are already underway with Internet companies, retailers and ISPs about how to improve Internet security. In addition to promoting security awareness, its role will be, through the proposed kitemarks, to help consumers distinguish between genuinely helpful products and advice and the purveyors of "scareware." A joint action plan will be launched in the new year, it promises.
Global Operations and Security Control Centre
In recognition of the growing strategic importance of the Internet, the document says the Ministry of Defence has recently opened a new Global Operations and Security Control Centre at Corsham, Wilshire, to act as a focus for cyberdefence for the armed forces. It adds that a second Joint Cyber Unit, also at Corsham, "will develop and use a range of new techniques, including proactive measures, to disrupt threats to our information security."
Ross Parsell, director of cyberstrategy at Weybridge-based Thales UK, said initial planning for the strategy began last February when industry leaders were invited to 10 Downing Street to discuss the issue. The discussion resulted in the creation of a set of working groups, which began their work in March 2011. "From the start, we have covered a range of areas, including cybercrime, how to help SMEs, consumer interests, and threats to big business. Bringing that all together has been quite a task," he said.
Parsell said one area of tension in the discussions was how much information GCHQ was prepared to share with broader industry. "We said we needed a culture shift within Cheltenham (GCHQ) where they hold the dark secrets of what's going on, so some of that information could be more widely shared," he said. "There was little bit of tension about that; they are willing to make the culture shift and push out more information, but they'd like to see it being acted upon."
The Government's UK Cyber Security Strategy document promises a safer environment for businesses and the public. It aims to fulfil its promise with a new security programme, more certified security professionals, security kitemarks and other initiatives.

Nice jacket, autumn is what we need. Bright, quality excellent tailoring. Fast shipping, 20 days to Australia.
Jacket arrived in Minsk pretty quickly. In the bike and a thin layer of padding polyester, think just suitable for our fall off season. Size 11 just the growth of 134 with a small margin, what you need. Sewn well, do not stick out. Look at how to wear.
Take size 9 the growth of 128. Too big as expected, but not much. Shoulders not obvious great, mostly in the arms, but they are on the cuff, so not evident. Sewn to snow sweeps.
120 cm 7 years first class came just, if you want to grow into take the next size because it will only last a year, quality worthy of the price!
Good quality jacket. Even in cold autumn can wear. Growth 122 cm took 12. A little bolshevat.
Items come in time. The quality is good. All happy.
Shipping to Khabarovsk about 1 month. Lovely jacket, perfect sewing. Height 130-135 cm. There is a small margin. Hood, of course, a small, but not a problem; the hood fleece there (as in the sleeves). I like jacket. The Seller to advise on all issues. See not very good reviews, but we were lucky, all super!!!


Still debating whether or not to hire an expert to help execute your wedding? Here's why you should say "I do" to a party pro.
You may have helped a friend plan her day or spent hours on Pinterest creating your dream wedding board, but that doesn't mean you should tackle your affair solo. Between booking vendors, working a full-time job and maintaining your relationship, pulling together a wedding can be a lot of work for even the most organized to-be-weds. Hiring a pro can take a huge weight off you and your partner, leaving you time to enjoy the process without the stress.
Trust us—planning a wedding, whether you're expecting 50 or 150 guests, requires a lot more than just picking out pretty flowers or tabletop décor. A wedding planner essentially juggles the roles of designer, legal counsel, budget manager, coordinator and therapist—all while helping you pull together your wedding. They can be tapped to take care of everything on your to-do list, from choosing aesthetic details to going over vendor contracts and dealing with day-of emergencies—a huge asset for busy couples hoping to plan their day with minimal stress. They're clued into everything there is to know about throwing a wedding, and all that comes along with such an emotionally charged event, so you'll be in good hands whether your issue is bouquets or overbearing in-laws. Plus, they're connected with top venues and pros in your area, ensuring you have the best team of experts to pull off your celebration. Simply put, an experienced planner is one of the key investments you can make when bringing your day to life.
There are essentially three types of wedding planners: full-service, à la carte and day-of coordinators. A full-service planner will handle it all, start to finish—from crafting the vision for your event to hiring and meeting with your vendors, and coordinating a weekend of activities for guests. This option is best for a pair looking to host a multiday affair or destination wedding, or for couples who simply want a professional to guide them through every step of the wedding planning process. Prefer a part-time pro you can contact on an as-needed basis? An à la carte planner can help you iron out specific details, like your tabletop rentals, or give suggestions for the perfect caterer to execute your French bistro menu. Ideal for couples who just need someone to help refine their wedding day blueprint, an à la carte or part-time planner is also a more price-conscious choice, giving you the help you need for a price that doesn't put you over budget. For assistance during your wedding day (but not throughout the entire process), opt for a day-of coordinator. Different from an on-site venue coordinator, they'll be solely focused on your priorities and responsible for making sure your wedding day runs smoothly. Typically, a day-of coordinator will begin working with you anywhere from two weeks to a month ahead of your wedding to make sure everything is in order. They'll coordinate both your ceremony and reception setup, keep you and your wedding party on schedule, and handle any necessary, immediate postwedding duties, like tipping. If you're unable to include a full-service or à la carte planner in your budget, adding a day-of coordinator to your team will help you and your partner relax and enjoy your wedding day festivities to the fullest.
Packages can range depending on the pro you hire, but a wedding planner typically charges their clients a flat fee, an hourly rate or a percentage of their overall wedding budget. These days, most planners list a flat fee for their contracted services. If they don't, expect to set aside around 10 to 20 percent of your overall budget for a full-service planner. An à la carte planner will charge an hourly rate or flat fee for each service they provide, while day-of coordination is generally a flat fee. While hiring a planner may seem like a big chunk of your budget, it's an investment that will give you peace of mind and ensure you enjoy the moments you've spent months planning. Plus, with an expert behind all your decisions, purchases and negotiations, you'll save money in the long run. Their pull may be able to score you insider deals, and they'll always look out for your budget so you don't have to.
Hiring the right pro can be tough, so start your search early on, preferably after you have a date and locale (about a year out is a good time to seek out a full-service team). Ask your venue for a list of vendors that typically work in the space (always an added benefit), tap recently wed friends for their suggestions or scour The Knot Marketplace for a list of top-rated pros in your area. Once you've narrowed down your selection to a few favorites, spend time looking through their online portfolios, reading reviews from past clients and stalking their social media feeds. A planner's Instagram or Facebook page is a great place to catch a glimpse of their most recent work or collaborations. Contact your final choice and set up a time to chat.
Think of your initial meeting with a planner like a first date— you want to make sure the two of you get along and have the same vision, as you'll be spending a lot of time together over the next year or so. Arrive armed with a few basic questions: Which of their packages best suits your budget and needs? How does the contract and deposit process work? Do they have insurance? What other vendors (like florists, caterers, photographers or bands) do they typically like to work with? Get a feel for how familiar they are with your venue as well—the more they've worked on-site, the more in-the-know they are with the team there, and the more likely it is they can tackle any snags that may come up. It's important to do your part as the client too. Prep for the meeting by compiling any details or facts your coordinator will likely want to know ASAP, like what you've budgeted for different vendors, a rough guest count and your overall vision. Together, you can start pulling inspiration and making important decisions as soon as possible.
It's time to relax and get married! Think of your planner as a safety net on your wedding day. If anything goes wrong (and something always does) they're there to troubleshoot so you won't have to fret. They'll be the one able to make the rain call to move your affair indoors when you can't bear to, or hunt down your set of heirloom champange flutes before the first toast of the evening. On your wedding day, your only order of buisness is to soak up every memorable second, so trust the pro you've hired to do their job, and let go of control day-of. Hiring a pro also means you'll get to spend precious extra time with loved ones instead of worrying about the cake not showing up or a missing flower arrangement. Trust us on this one—you want (and deserve) a helping hand and some room to breathe. After all, this is going to be the happiest day of your life.

One Killed, Two Critically Injured In South Deering Crash
Filed Under:Crash, South Deering, Torrence Avenue, Vince Gerasole
CHICAGO (CBS) — A violent car crash left one young man dead, and two others critically injured late Thursday night in the South Deering neighborhood.
Their car hit a fire hydrant – apparently while speeding – and then smashed into the porch of a home in the 11600 block of South Torrence Avenue shortly after 10 p.m. The car flipped on its roof in the crash.
The three young men inside were pinned in the vehicle, and firefighters had to use special equipment to free them from the wreckage.
Several neighbors rushed in to help after the crash.
"We broke the window, and drug him through the car window door; the window of the door," Tom Nolan said. "He couldn't feel his legs."
The car was so mangled, it took crews an hour to reach the last victim, and get him out of the car.
The driver, a 19-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two passengers – an 18-year-old man and a 20-year-old man – were taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Residents said the block has frequent problems with drag racing, but police said they don't know if that played a role in the crash.

Fry's arrival is a welcome one. But don't lose sight of the bigger picture…
16th August 2010 By Mick Dennis 6 Comments
Stephen Fry? A journalist friend speculated that Norwich had made a mistake. Did they mean to appoint Barry Fry as a director?
Another friend said City now have the best board in football. The food is sorted. The humour is taken care of and (in a reference to Fry's eccentric choice of private car) there's someone to drive you home in a taxi.
I dare say fans of some of the teams Norwich play will also have their own comments about Lord Melchett's presence in our boardroom.
What's it all about? Well, he has put a small amount of money in – small to him, and insignificant given the size of City's debt. He's bought some shares, and we'll find our how many when the accounts are published.
But the club's official website announced his appointment by saying Fry will "act as an ambassador for Norwich City, using his superb contacts and enormous personal fanbase to help give the Canaries' profile a massive boost at home and abroad".
So Rick Waghorn got it right on this website when he drew attention to Fry's astonishing following on Twitter. Fry's appointment is a harmless bit of PR: an attempt to tap into his popularity. And the modern-day Oscar Wilde responded by immediately putting the club's badge on his Twitter picture.
I think it is much more significant that, seven months after appointing Deloitte to "help the club consider their options", there is still no sign of major new investment.
It was the club's primary creditors, AXA and Bank of Scotland, who insisted on the calling in Deloitte in the hope that the "professional services organisation" would find someone willing to take over the club.
It should not surprise anyone living in the real world – which excludes those who fell for the Peter Cullum tosh – that, so far, Deloitte have not been successful. Nor was Keith Harris, the deal-maker Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones had already asked to hunt for an investor.
There simply is not a queue of oil-rich Arabs or Russians forming along Rouen Road. There never has been.
And the reason for the dearth of interest is the same reason AXA and Bank of Scotland want City to find a buyer. They want their money back.
Under the standard terms of the loans, anyone buying the club must settle the debt or renegotiate it, and the lenders don't want to renegotiate. They want the £23 million or so they are owed.
That was why David Gold and David Sullivan did no more than run a cursory eye over City's last financial results when they were looking for a club to buy. I had a series of email conversations with Sullivan, but he indicated that the debt was too big and Norwich too far from his home near Epping.
Those financial results were grim, in case you have forgotten. The auditors reported doubts about whether the business could continue as a going concern. Since then, new chairman Alan Bowkett has eked some more time from AXA and Bank of Scotland – and so has done as much for our club as anyone in its recent history.
But the debt has to be whittled down much more and as quickly as possible. That is why I for one didn't complain when I discovered that prices of pies and pints and the rest had been "rounded up", as chief executive David McNally put it. Fans cannot urge Delia and Michael to leave huge amounts in the club and then quibble over the cost of a cup of coffee.
But there is no point in pretending that there is not a different feel, a change of emphasis at Norwich now.
I admired Neil Doncaster. He was lampooned as "Doomcaster", I know, but I saw him at work in football's corridors of power and noted how some of the game's most influential figures listened to him and heeded his opinions.
Doncaster bought into Delia and Michael's vision of a club rooted in its community and, although he got scant recognition for it, he was the most approachable chief-executive I've come across anywhere in football. Why else would he stand on the corner by the club shop before matches, letting people come up and – as I witnessed more than once – moan about anything and everything?
Doncaster was perfect for the era when Norwich were building their magnificent attendance record. When he joined, as club secretary in 1997, the average Carrow Road crowd was fewer than 15,000. By the time he left, the ground was regularly packing in full houses of more than 24,000.
But McNally is the right man for now: the era in which that fan base has to help keep the club afloat. So McNally's feat in putting in extra seats – a skill he had to learn at penny-pinching Fulham – has been pure genius.
Of course, his best work for City was poaching Paul Lambert from down the road in Essex. But Lambert won't have a team to manage, and we won't have a team to cheer, unless Bowkett and McNally's drive to bring down the debt is successful.
I am glad that we've got a little bit of Fry on board. He's a very funny chap. But the real business of our board remains about as serious as it could possibly be.

Whilst I agree with your sentiments about Neil Doncaster, I think you'll find that Mr Fry's Twitter avatar has long sported the Canary badge.
Surely it's better that there's some sort of investment from him than none at all?
This is not a Roman Abramovich-esque appointment, nor was it heralded as such. But any support is clearly better than none at all.
Jeff Ford says
I think Fry is the perfect Yin to McNally's Yang. If he brings nothing else, he will bring an enlightened viewpoint to boardroom 'discussions' as anyone who has witnessed his debating skills will acknowledge.
Welcome Stephen, may we be a little more welcoming than your previous church.
Canary says
Hi Mick, actually Mr Fry's Canaries badge has been on Twitter for quite a while not immediately after his appointment as reported. He is a true fan and a great asset to Norfolk and the Canaries. Not just one of Delia's 'luvvies' as some of our mentally challenged supporters have been posting on the pinkun forum!
Adrian Rutherford says
Stephen Fry is best mates with the highest paid actor in USA TV – Hugh Laurie – who, schooled at Eton, started life with a bob or two of family money anyway. What chance Hugh being persuaded to invest some in NCFC too. Every million helps.

Once again I think you have just about nailed it Mick. Neil Doncaster had his faults, no doubt, and was part of the management team whose timidity saw us relegated from The Premiership when it was so unnecessary. To announce to the world that the club was "budgeting for relegation" before a ball was kicked said even more than importing a few "lifestyle Scandinavians" to make a token effort at survival. However – I remember taking my Mother in Law to see her first game at the age of 70. On the morning of the game I emailed Neil (more in hope than anticipation) and asked if he could arrange a message on the board or over the tannoy. To my amazement both happened and it made her day. He would have been very busy on a matchday, but he still found time to make it happen. Would David McNally? To be honest I wouldn't even bother asking. But, as you say, he is the right man in that seat today and we seem to have a board that is fully focused on the job in hand. Not entirely sure what dear old Stephen brings to the party but whatever it is I'm sure he does it well!
18th August 2010 at 12:02 pm
There are lots of nice people in the world and Neil D may well be one of them, but that doesn't make them suitable for, or capable of, doing jobs requiring decisiveness, analytic ability and strategic thinking – minimum requirements for an effective CEO.
The lack of strategy and the adherence to a pathetic tactical business model has, as you say Mick, very nearly ruined the club . . . . . . Agents' fees, loan fees, loanees' expenses many times over – not to mention the consequent inability to build a squad and a team spirit to be effective on the park.
The old board must share in some of the criticism for not seeing through the sham and therefore not acting to stop it, Delia and Michael included. Their redemption (or luck) is in appointing Mr McNally to sort it all out and put us on the slow road to recovery.
And just because he seems a no nonsense, effective operator doesn't mean he can't also be a decent bloke.
And I'm reminded of your piece season before last – do we really want to go up to the (now even more) maniacal Premiership? A year's worth of their money would solve some debts, but how could we possibly survive there unless we are sold out as a bauble to some billionaire from the other side of the world. Is that what we want?

Kälkhockey är en variant av ishockey för människor med rörelsehinder. Internationellt kallas sporten även paraishockey (på engelska "para ice hockey") eftersom det engelska ordet för kälke, sledge, kan ha något olika betydelse i olika länder.

Kälkhockey är sedan 1994 en gren i Paralympics, och världsmästerskap spelas sedan 1996. Sverige, Norge, Kanada, USA, Tyskland och Estland har haft störst landslagsframgångar genom åren. De första internationella reglerna antogs 1990 från kanadensiska regler.

Regler
Spelarna sitter i kälkar som går att åka med på isen, och stakar sig fram med hjälp av korta ishockeyklubbor, kombinerade med en pik på skaftsidan av klubban för att få fäste i isen. Resterande del av klubban ser ut som nederdelen av en vanlig ishockeyklubba. Träningsgrupper brukar vanligtvis vara mixade med både personer med och utan funktionsnedsättning och oavsett kön. För att delta krävs inte att man är jättestark i sina armar men att man har full rörlighet i dem. Perioderna är 15 minuter långa på organiserad nivå.

I kälkhockey tillåts damer inte delta i herrlandslag i paralympiska spelen. I framtiden hoppas man öppna turneringarna för båda könen och spela med mixade lag, på grund av svårigheterna att få ihop separata damlag på många håll .

Historia
Kälkhockey utvecklades i Stockholm under 1960-talet.  En klubb spelade 1961 på en frusen insjö med mindre mål och utan målvakt. Till klubbor användes cykelstyre. 1966-1967 testade ett lag i Stockholm spel på utomhusrink, fortfarande med mindre mål och utan målvakt. i mars 1969 for ett lag från Oslo iväg till Stockholm för att spela. I Stockholm startades en serie 1969, med fem lag där både handikappade och icke-handikappade spelare deltog. Lagen hade ingen organiserad träning, och spelade bara en-två matcher per år under åren 1971-1980. Vid vinter-OS för handikappade 1976 spelades en uppvisningsmatch mellan svenska lag, och för första bevakades kälkhockey i television. Under världsmästerskapen i vintersport 1982 i Les Diableretes Schweiz. 1981 startades det första kälkhockeylaget i Storbritannien, och 1982 det första kälkhockeylaget i Kanada. I Oslo anordnades 1986 första världsmästerskapet i iskälkracing, kälkhockey, och utförsåkning i pulka. I kälkhockey tävlade Sverige, Storbritannien och Norge i ett inofficiellt världsmästerskap. I maj 1988 hölls internationella matcher i Oslo, med Norge och Storbritannien som deltagare. 1989 tävlade för första gången ett norskt landslag i en kälkhockeyturnering i Ottawa. Båda länderna tävlade också i iskälkracing. Första kälkhockeylaget i USA startades 1990. I Japan bildades det första klubblaget i slutet av 1993. Estland startade ett landslag i januari 1993. Det första laget i Tyskland startades i Hannover 1996, och säsongen 2000/2001 startades Bundesliga i kälkhockey.

1991 spelades första världscupen i kälkhockey, och där deltog Kanada, Sverige, Storbritannien, Norge och USA. Kanada slog Sverige, vilket innebar att Sverige förlorade för första gången på 25 år.

Kälkhockey blev paralympisk gren 1994. Det första officiella världsmästerskapet spelades i april 1996 i Nynäshamn och vanns av Sverige. 10-17 april 2005 spelades första Europamästerskapet. Turneringen spelades i Zlín i Tjeckien och vanns av Tyskland före Sverige och Estland.

I was told that Berlin was reading music from a teleprompter. After the first Greek Theatre show I had an opportunity to talk to Bruford, and asked him about this. He chuckled (in his inimitable accent) "Telly-prompter? Nothing as complicated as that. Only pencil and and paper, I'm afraid!"

Volkswagen Jetta TDI value edition makes diesel cheap
The Volkswagen Jetta TDI value edition, starting at $22,115, is the least expensive U.S. diesel.
(Volkswagen )
By Brian Thevenot
The Volkswagen Jetta has solidified its position as the cheapest U.S. diesel car with a new "value edition" that cuts more than $2,300 from the base price.
The bargain TDI goes out the door for $22,115, including destination, for a base model with a manual transmission. The DSG dual-clutch automated manual adds $1,100 to the price.
The Jetta was already the least expensive of the diesels, which are still slowly gaining traction in the U.S. market. Automakers including Volkswagen often combine more expensive diesel engines with upscale trim packages, raising the price of entry substantially over comparable gasoline-powered models.
Top 10 cars with lowest sticker price per mpg
The least expensive 2014 Volkswagen Golf TDI, for instance, costs $26,020, compared with $20,815 for the least expensive gasoline-powered model.
The Jetta TDI value edition, announced last month, does without such features as power seats and a multi-function steering wheel, which come standard in the next-most-expensive diesel Jetta. Soft-touch dash materials are replaced by hard plastic. Faux leather seats are replaced by cloth.
The most obvious cost-cutting move: 16-inch-wheels steel wheels, with plastic covers, instead of alloys.
But the value edition still comes with standard heated seats, cruise control, a six-speaker stereo system and satellite radio.
VW has been a pioneer for bringing diesel technology to the U.S. market, where customers have been slow to buy in. In Europe, about half of all cars sell with diesel engines.
The automaker sold more than 100,000 diesel vehicles in the U.S. for the first time last year, nearly a quarter of its sales. It offers a diesel engine in nearly every VW and Audi model.
Although diesels cost more, their fuel economy rivals many hybrids. The Jetta and Golf are EPA-rated at 30 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. Many diesel models are also known for their longevity and high resale value.
Diesel fuel currently costs about 65 cents more per gallon than regular gasoline, according to the U.S. Energy Department. But the market fluctuates, with diesel at times costing less than gasoline.
VW could soon face more competition from other automakers planning diesel models. Chevrolet just introduced a diesel engine in the Cruze, a compact sedan comparable to the Jetta. But the Cruze starts at a significantly higher price of $25,810. Later this year, Mazda is expected to introduce a diesel engine in its midsize Mazda6 sedan. Pricing has yet to be announced.
