Balcony safety measures are sensible
Withà regard to the glass partitions being installed since the suicide of one of the students, at which I was present shortly after it happened: I don't understand the student's comment in the article. It states that they are being "treated like children" -- the whole point of the balcony is to prevent another tragedy from occurring. Whatever can be done to prevent that should be done! If the opportunity to take one's own life is not there, maybe someone will change their mind? Or someone will talk them out of doing themselves in? Hey, what a thought!
Thank you,

And the winner isâ?¦
Last week the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to an individual who liberated 50 million Muslims from tyrannical regimes, funded HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives that have saved over 1 million African lives and continues to save more and cooperated with the World Bank to distribute 5.2 million mosquito nets to children in Tanzania to fight Malaria.
In reality, the above mentioned individual did not win the prize. This year's actual winner served 12 days in office before being nominated in time for the prize's deadline. This peculiarity begs the question: how does one say "Yes We Can" in Norsk?
