    Norway's Alexander Dale Oen, a real rising star in Olympic swimming, died from an apparent heart attack while training in Arizona yesterday.

    In general, this would be a good time for Norwegians to stay the hell out of Northern Arizona.

    RIP. Sad story.

    A Norwegian was just sentenced to 7 years in prison for driving the wrong way into a crowd in Winslow, triggering a slew of angry emails into our newsroom from people with names like Ole and Sven.

    Out of curiosity, I checked a Norwegian paper's site to see how big they're playing it.

    The answer: Quite big.
