    The tradition-steeped cannery Vesteraalens believes they can find new markets for their Norwegian specialties and are pushing hard to give Russians a taste of fish balls (fiskeboller). Fish balls in white sauce - a classic of Norwegian home cooking. PHOTO: JON HAUGE "Fish balls are a typical Scandinavian product and unknown in Russia. But they are relatively cheap and in our view are well suited to Russian tastes," Vesteraalens sales chief Oddbjørg Bollvåg told weekly newspaper Fiskeribladet. Just before Christmas a sample shipment of 4,000 cans was sent to Murmansk and Moscow. The balls, traditionally made from fish, potato flour,...

    When the Rev. Joe Roberson heard that his grandson was accused of running through Minneapolis streets naked and scuffling with police, he had a good guess at what happened. "I believe he just quit taking his medications," Roberson said about his grandson, Michael Porter, 19, who was seriously injured Tuesday when a police dog bit him in the groin. Porter, who remained in serious condition Thursday night at Hennepin County Medical Center, was eventually subdued with a Taser gun.

    Police on meteor alert after huge balls of fire light up Spanish sky Giles Tremlett in Madrid Tuesday January 6, 2004 The Guardian (UK) Was it a brightly shining star leading the present-laden three kings to the homes of millions of children at today's Epiphany, Spain's biggest gift-giving day of Christmas? As police scoured a remote mountainous district of the northern León province yesterday for remnants of a large, brilliant, burning object that fell to earth on Sunday, the most likely explanation was that it was part of a meteor. The search concentrated near Renedo de Valderaduey after neighbours saw...

    URBAN LEGEND? I am led to understand that George Bush was making some of the radio calls when his Navy SB3 approached the USS Abraham Lincoln almost two weeks ago. When an aircraft approaches the carrier for landing the pilot is, as I understand it, supposed to line up some brightly lit balls in a display off to the side of the landing deck. As Navy One was on final approach for trap aboard to the Abraham Lincoln Bush is said to have keyed the mic and say “Lincoln, Navy One, 12,500 lbs, I have the balls." The crowd, as...

    A long-time tax activist has sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service informing the agency he will no longer pay income taxes and daring IRS officials to arrest him. "I ... have not filed a federal income tax return for 1997 or any subsequent year. This is not because I am protesting any law, or because I do not want to pay my 'fair share'; it is because I refuse to be a victim of the biggest financial fraud in history," said "Theft By Deception" video producer Larken Rose. Vowing not to "remain silent" as Washington allegedly continues to...
