| | Norway Maple | | 2008-04-21 05:26:43 | | Norway MapleAcer platanoides(AY-ser) (pla-tan-OY-dees)These are some pictures of Norway Maple. I have never noticed the flowers up close and I have to admit they are quite pretty. I wouldn’t recommend this tree for the garden or even planting as a shade tree unless it was an urban area. It is one of the most widely planted street trees in the US and that is because it is so tough and has the ability to withstand many of the conditions urban street trees have to endure.It was introduced into the United States around 1760 but didn’t gain popularity until the late 1800’s. There are many (90 or so) cultivars available in all different shapes, sizes and colors. I am a little partial to the red leafed ones like 'Crimson King' and also like the variegated cultivar ‘Drummondi’, both of which have been featured on this blog before. The reasons I don’t recommend this tree is that aren’t too many plants that will grow underneath it, although I found that Yellow Archangel (Lamiastrum | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| | Norway school shut after YouTube massacre threat | | 2008-01-14 22:26:45 | | Police in Norway say they closed a secondary school near Oslo after a video warning of a high school massacre was discovered on the internet.A 15-year-old student at the Kjenn school, whose name has not been disclosed, has admitted posting the video clip on the YouTube video-sharing website."He has not been arrested (and) he is not in police custody. We will speak with him and his father during the day," Loerenskog police chief superintendent Jens Bruun said.The 50-second video, posted on YouTube on Saturday, was removed late on Sunday.With music playing in the background, it showed a picture of the school, superintendent Bruun said.Pictures of six teachers then popped up, as a voice said: "It will happen one day, it will be a bloody machine, one day you will die."Superintendent Bruun would not comment on the boy's explanation, but said police did not believe he was in possession of weapons.The Kjenn school, about 15 kilometres east of Oslo, has about 400 students aged 13 to 17, Superintendent Bruun said.A number of schools in the Nordic countries have been evacuated and closed due to threats since November 7 when 18-year-old Finnish student Pekka-Eric Auvinen killed eight people before turning his gun on himself at the Jokela High School north of Helsinki.Before the massacre, Auvinen posted videos and messages on YouTube indicating what he planned to do.- AFP

| | NORWAY: European Solar Power Keeps Spending | | 2007-12-24 07:47:25 | | Dutch utility Delta clearly believes that solar energy is far from a flash in the pan: its subsidiary Solland announced on Tuesday a $736.2 million deal with silicon supplier Renewable Energy, which is set to last until 2015.Solland Solar, 90% of which was bought by Delta at the start of this year, is extending an already-existing supply agreement with Oslo-based Renewable Energy. The Delta-owned company is in expansion mode, with the hope of expanding solar cell production to 170 megawatts of power per year, from a current level of 60 megawatts.Renewable Energy is the world's largest producer of silicon wafers, which are the building blocks needed to develop solar cells and solar modules.

| | NORWAY: Mongstad power for Gjøa field | | 2007-12-23 19:06:13 | | The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has given StatoilHydro the go-ahead to build a 90 kV AC connection from Mongstad to the Gjøa field. The subsea cable will provide the field with power from land, contributing to reduced CO2 and NOx emissions.The subsea cable and accessories will – according to NVE assessment – be significantly less environmental impact.

The development plan for the Gjøa field commencement in October 2010 has not been affected by this decision. The Petroleum and Energy Ministry has emphasised that the Gjøa development should remain on schedule.Following assessment of all factors, NVE decided that Mongstad was the optimal connecting point, as the risk for delays are minimal and new power lines are not required within the secondary network.StatoilHydro has not chosen to reapply for this solution, and NVE will continue the proces | | By: energy BLOG | | |

| | Norway Ends Chinese women's dreams in 2007FIFA World Cup | | 2007-09-23 15:02:49 | | The Chinese women's soccer team has finally fallen and ended their campaign for the 2007 FIFA women's soccer world cup. It was Norway who dealt them their exit pass by beating the Chinese 1-0. It was Isabell Herlovsen's lone 32nd-minute strike that sealed the win for Norway and the Chinese weren't able to score a single goal in this match.It was the Chinese who had control of most of the match though. They had 11 more shots compared to only 8 by the Norwegians. Player of the match Ane Stangeland Horpestad and the rest of the Norwegian soccer team ensured that China's "12th man" on the field did not play any part of the match. The hometown crows was silenced for the match especially during the possibility of the Chinese going down 2-0. The Chinese saved the goal though.The Norwegians will now face defending champions Germany in a semifinal knock-out match.FIFA Women's World Cup 2008 Olympics Olympics Soccer | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

The sale of Aibel, coming after the sale earlier this year of Vetco Gray to GE Oil and Gas for $1.9 billion, completes the exit from Vetco International for the syndicate.

| | NORWAY: Delimitation of gas discovery in the Norwegian Sea | | 2007-07-01 01:41:00 | | Norske Shell, operator of production licence 255, has concluded drilling of appraisal well 6406/9-2 on the 6406/9-1 discovery (”Onyx Sørvest”). The 6406/9-1 discovery was proven in 2005 and is located approx. 40 km north-west of the Draugen field in the Norwegian Sea.The discovery contains gas in Middle to Lower Jurassic rocks. In a press release issued in January 2006, the NPD indicated a range of uncertainty of 10-50 billion Sm3 recoverable gas for the discovery. The objective of appraisal well 6406/9-2 was to delimit the discovery. The well encountered gas/water contacts in Middle to Lower Jurassic rocks, thus confirming the northerly extent of the discovery. The NPD's preliminary assessment is that the size of the discovery is probably in the upper half of the uncertainty range. The well was not formation tested, but extensive data collection and sampling were carried out.

| | NORWAY: Companies clear the air, as “carbon week” passes | | 2007-06-27 21:26:00 | | Opinion appears to differ on where to deploy and concentrate technology to curtail global warming and begin earning from the trade in carbon, judging by a week of declarations on carbon capture and storage, or CCS, from the North Sea. “It’s a waste of time,” a partly jesting Mitsubishi manager, Iijima Masaki, said of the growing concentration of carbon-tech in the North Sea. “(If you want to save the environment), we should focus on carbon capture where two-thirds of world oil and gas is, in the Middle East,” Masaki said, hinting that efforts should be made to transport carbon-dioxide to the Persian Gulf by ship, along with CCS and injection technology. Matsaki’s company is one of a few with “carbon-capture technology ready”. At the invitation of Shell and Statoil, his company has begun work toward solving the problems of CCS’s cost.Aker Kvaerner is another supplier hoping to do the same.
