Some British Embassy staff who have been detained in Tehran over accusations of inciting protests will face trial, said the head of Iran's top legislative body. "In these incidents, their embassy had a presence, some people were arrested. Naturally they will be put on trial. They have made confessions," the Agence France-Presse news agency quoted Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, the head of Iran's Guardian Council, as saying Friday. Jannati, speaking at Friday morning prayers, did not indicate how many staff would be tried and on what charges. Jannati told the thousands of worshippers that the British "had designed a velvet revolution.… In March, they said [in their Foreign Ministry] that street riots were possible during June elections. These are signs … revealed by themselves." He also said those involved in protests "need to repent and ask God to forgive them." |

In the spirit of transparency, the Obama Administration posted on its White House blog a detailed list of who makes what at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. According to the WhiteHouse.gov blog, every administration since 1995 has been required to "deliver a report to Congress listing the title and salary of every White House Office employee." In January, in one of his first acts as president, Obama announced that he was freezing the salaries of employees who made more than $100,000 a year, saying, "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington." It may be a government job, but a gig in the White House isn't so bad: The highest earners take home $172,200, while at the low end, staff assistants get $36,000. The big winner, however, is David Marcozzi, the Director of Public Health Policy, who earns $192,934 a year. The $172,200 Club: This exclusive club includes Obama's top aides, such as Senior Advisers David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, press secretary Robert Gibbs and Jon "Favs" Favreau, Obama's head speechwriter. |

Scientists have confirmed for the first time that Australia was once home to a dinosaur that was big, fast and terrifying, and they've named it like something from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Meet the Australovenator. The beast was a 1,100 pound (500 kilogram) meat-eating predator with three slashing claws on each of its powerful forelimbs that stalked the Outback 98 million years ago, researchers said in a report published Friday. Fossilized remnants of its limb bones, ribs, jaw and fangs were found - along with bones of two other new species of gigantic, long-necked herbivores weighing up to 22 tons (20 metric tons) - in Queensland state over the past three years. The discovery, analyzed in a 51-page report published in the peer-reviewed online science journal PLoS ONE, was the first substantial find of large dinosaurs in Australia to be revealed in 28 years. |

 Survivors of an explosion in an Italian seaside town described yesterday how burnt victims ran through blazing streets to escape the inferno.
At least sixteeen people including three children were killed and thirty-four were injured after a freight train carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was derailed in the Tuscan town of Viareggio before midnight on Monday. At least five people are still missing and 1,000 have been evacuated.
Police said that five wagons at the back of the fourteen-wagon train, which was on its way to Pisa, left the tracks and crashed next to the station. The crash ruptured the tanks carrying the LPG and the fumes ignited.
Witnesses described how residents, many in their night clothes or naked, fled blazing streets. “There were dead people, bodies in the street which had been thrown from their houses by the blast and so many people who were fleeing who were losing their skin because they were burnt,” Roberto Galli, a resident, said.

Just days after ending a bitter strike, National Steel Car workers now face the spectre of layoffs. The rail car maker said yesterday it will cut up to 600 workers -- its entire active workforce -- over the coming weeks as it reaches the end of its existing order book. The layoff could be relatively short, however, if National Steel Car is successful in landing a sizeable new order. "It's a significant order and we're certainly aggressively pursuing it," said Steel Car spokesperson Peter Earle. "If we are successful, it would allow us to ramp back up again in September." Though the company was hesitant to say how long the layoff could last, union leader Steve Weller was optimistic it would be brief. "We're all hoping the new business will come through," he said. Workers at the Kenilworth Avenue North plant hit the picket line in early April after the company sought changes in seniority rights and a 25 per cent rollback in hourly wages and benefits. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
