September 7, 2009. Is Think Still a Norwegian Car Company? The Norwegian electric car maker Think is back on the road. The company on Thursday said it had exited bankruptcy protection and secured $47 million in new financing to restart production of the Think City, a highway-capable urban runabout with a range of about 112 miles. Think had shut down its assembly line outside of Oslo late last year when the global financial crisis cut off access to new capital. But is Think still a Norwegian automaker?

Over 3.5 million Norwegians are eligible to vote in the polls on Monday (September 14) to decide the composition of the 169-seat parliament.

August 27, 2009. Launch of historic Norwegian boat. If you went to the Ballard SeafoodFest last month, you may remember the Nordic Spirit, a 19th century Norwegian coastal fishing boat that was on display at the Nordic Heritage Museum tent. Pacific Fishermen Shipyard was established by Norwegian-American fishermen in 1946. “This boat was built by Norwegians and restored by Norwegians whose grandfathers fished in the waters of Norway,” said Dixon minutes after calling the launch a success.

September 17, 2009. Norwegian govt re-elected – But only just. Norway’s center-left coalition government has won parliamentary elections.

Voter turnout in the oil-rich nation was estimated at about 69 percent among the some 3.5 million eligible voters, around 9 percent lower than in 2005. Stoltenberg’s center-left government has resorted to tapping...

August 13, 2009. Norway 4-0 Scotland: Scots Crushed By Norwegian Efficiency. Norway pulled off a deserved and emphatic 4-0 win over ten-man Scotland as they rescued their World Cup hopes at the expense of those of the visitors. Norway seemed the team more likely to score in the opening stages, as Gary Caldwell had to work hard to keep tabs on the lofty John Carew. Still reeling from the loss of his brother, Steven Caldwell was subbed off soon after the restart when he brought Carew down on the edge of th...
