"Alarming" jump in suicide attempts

Researchers are reporting an unusually high amount of attempted suicides among youth in Oslo.

One out of eight girls says she's tried to kill herself, while half as many boys say the same.
Many youth who say they've tried to kill themselves don't really want to die and instead are making a call for help.
Most girls who hurt themselves are depressed because of family problems, violence or bullying, noting that many are forced to deal with adult problems without being emotionally mature enough to tackle them.
It's hard to grow up today.

Man battled moose- and won

A Norwegian who thought he'd be spending a quiet weekend at his cabin near Kongsvinger ended up battling an angry moose with the first weapon that came to mind - his slipper.
He was relaxing at his holiday cabin (called a hytte in Norwegian) when his uninvited visitor suddenly appeared on his property.
"The moose was furious,"he told. "Its ears were pulled back, the moose was snorting loudly and seemed to rear back on its legs."
In desperation, he took off his worn felt slipper and threw it at the moose. It hit the huge animal, known in Norway as "The King of the Forest," right in the forehead.
That was apparently enough to startle the moose, who calmed down, turned around and wandered off.
