Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi told a session of parliament that the number jumped by about 50 after victims expired in the hospital. More than 3,000 people were injured in the twin earthquakes that struck two days ago, she added in comments broadcast on state radio.

Huffington Post: 'Random Acts Of Culture': The Knight Foundation's Pop Up Series Reaches Milestone In Detroit (WATCH, PHOTOS)

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 09:35 AM PDT

It's not everyday that one gets to witness a spontaneous gathering of artists, singers, musicians, and dancers performing a perfectly rehearsed mass performance piece. And yet Dennis Scholl, the Vice President of Arts for the Knight Foundation, has overseen approximately 1,000 of these kinds of events around the country.

This past Friday, a man with a briefcase armed with a flute entered the lunchroom of Compuware's World Headquarters in downtown Detroit and started a massive flash mob rendition of "Ode to Joy." Over 150 people took part in the milestone thousandth performance of "Random Acts of Culture."

For Scholl, the idea began after someone sent him a video of a spontaneous opera performance in Valencia, Spain, which ended with a participant holding up a sign that read, "So you think you don't like opera?" Inspired, Scholl wanted to know what would happen if he could take the idea to the States and replicate it for an American audience.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut goat that made headlines in 2006 after visiting the state Capitol on a mission to inform officials about nuclear radiation has died.

Katie was diagnosed with inoperable cancer after living near Dominion Resources Inc.'s Millstone Nuclear Power station. Her death at her home in Redding on Sunday was announced in a news release.

Katie's mission took her from the state Capitol in 2006 to Washington, D.C., on March 11, 2012, where she strolled before the White House to mark the first anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown.
