As the submission deadline for the coveted Nobel Peace Prize closed Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010, the Nobel Committee maintained its tradition of giving no hints, the contenders are kept secret for 50 years. But some nominations were announced by those who made them. Erna Solberg, the head of Norway's Conservative Party, put forth Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina and her group Memorial.
