TOKYO (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing the massive advisory fee involved in Olympus Corp’s takeover of a British company, a media report said, in a deepening scandal that has wiped out more than half the company’s value.

The British CEO who says he was fired for questioning the $687 million payment to advisers in the $2.2 billion takeover of medical equipment maker Gyrus in 2008 has called on authorities in both Britain and Japan to also investigate the payments.

First Wind Turbine

Posted: 24 Oct 2011 03:50 AM PDT

Profile AmericaProfile America — Wednesday, October 19th. With the cost of fossil energy sources rising, increasing attention is being paid to renewable sources of energy. One of the key ideas is generating electricity with large windmills. While the concept sounds very modern, the first practical wind turbine goes back 70 years. It was on this date in 1941 that Palmer Putnam of Vermont demonstrated his device. His wind turbine had blades 75 feet in diameter and it generated 800 kilowatts from a wind velocity of 26 miles an hour. With homes in the U.S. using an increasing amount of electricity, the average residential bill has risen from $879 a year in 2000 to $1,253. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau online at <www.census.gov>.

Bridge weakened by earthquake collapses in northeastern India, killing 32

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 02:35 PM PDT

NEW DELHI (BNO NEWS) -- At least 34 people were killed and more than 130 others were injured when a wooden bridge collapsed in northeastern India on Saturday evening, local media reported on Sunday.

The old wooden footbridge in the Bijanbari area of Darjeeling district gave way on Saturday evening as more than 200 people had gathered on the bridge to listen to speeches being held during a political meeting. At least 32 people were killed while more than 130 others were injured, the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) reported.

According to hospital sources, the death toll is likely to increase further as some of the victims were critically injured. Army personnel of the Mountain Brigade and the Army Medical Corps have joined fire brigade, police and disaster management personnel in the rescue operation.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who visited the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, said the expenses would be borne by the state government. He also promised the government will compensate the families of the deceased, the seriously injured and those who suffered minor injuries.

The bridge involved in Saturday's accident had been weakened after a strong 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck India's northern state of Sikkim near the border with Nepal on September. More than 110 people were killed.
