L’express and Sky News reports that two passengers with names linked to Islamic terrorism were on board the Air France flight which crashed with the loss of 228 lives, it has emerged.

French secret servicemen established the connection while working through the list of those who boarded the doomed Airbus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 31st.

Its tragic if this was an act of terror. I mean, its tragic anyway but if this was done by muslims they will struggle in the days to come. In Norway last week they’ve received a lot of negative attention because imams and violence against children and muslims that don’t want to follow Norwegian law.

I think this will only make it worse, unfair to the majority of muslims who haven’t done anything wrong.

I’m not a very big Bruce Springsteen fan but I like his music, many of his tunes are magical. Hes in my hometown these days having concerts and I have to admit that I’m a bit proud that he visits this small town compared to European and American.

When he arrived and saw where he was going to play he said in a playful tone “oh hey this was cozy, it will be like playing at a bbq party. Very nice neighbours here that allows us to play”. I loved that, he has a great sense of humor. Koengen in Bergen is a small and intimate place – I hope he loved playing there. It takes about 22000 people.

Here is what it looked like yesterday evening :

If you’re fan you might want to check out BT’s webtv, on the right side of the music you can see and hear his performances from last evening, link here : BTWebTV

In Norway teachers don’t have the rights to send pupils out of the classroom, if they do they might loose their job or get sued by angry parents. The only person who can send a kid out of the classroom is the head of the school – how backwards is that? Teachers have no power left to take action when difficult students ruin the class.

But now our educational minister want to change that law, finally.

I think parts of the problem is parents, everyone think that their kid is an angel and if their angel is being sent out of the classroom hell is loose and the parents threatens to sue the school or the teacher. And parents rely too much on the school to not only educate the kids but raise them as well – it has to go wrong eventually.

I guess people realize how severe the problem is now, problemstudents are ruiening a lot of classes but the teachers can’t do anything. Teachers need tools to use as sanctions.

A guy in a Hummer showed his finger when a large trailer squeezed himself into the queue, when the driver saw the finger he blocked the highway and stopped. Found a sledge hammer and tried to crush the Hummer, its not made in China yet so it can take a few punches, but he broke some windows and made a few bumps. They started to fight and a few teeth later the police arrived to stop them.

Today we learn that the driver of the heavy transport may have been tired or had a stressful day but his boss says he have to let him go.

This happens every day in traffic, I see a lot of it. Drivers of heavy transport pushing people and misusing their power on many wheels. I wish we had parallel roads where heavy traffic could do what they wanted – we see too many accidents involving small cars and heavy trucks.

When people are eager to create new services some of them are most likely to fail or step into unknown areas. Like our Phone directory telefonkatalogen.no. When you search a person you now will see their birthday as well, combining them with public tax-searches you’ll also find birth year.

I find this amusing, its ok with me but a lot of people react to this.

What the newspaper don’t mention is that you can enter a date and then find all the people in Norway who has birthday – I find that even more funny.
