Takeover plan for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania detailed
By Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pennsylvania lawmakers on Tuesday announced a plan that would make possible a state takeover of the capital of Harrisburg where local officials have failed to resolve a $300 million debt crisis.
State Senator Jeff Piccola and Representative Glen Grell said the deal would allow Governor Tom Corbett to declare a state of fiscal emergency in Harrisburg and develop an emergency action plan to provide for the city's vital services.
The Harrisburg City Council will have one month to adopt a plan to "bring the city on the path to recovery," the lawmakers said in a statement. If it fails, Corbett can petition a judge to appoint a receiver, who will have the ability to create and implement a final long-term recovery plan for the city.
"The city, and for that matter the entire region, cannot afford to have more delay," said Grell. "Harrisburg's fiscal condition impacts us all."
Harrisburg's troubles stem from a complicated financing scheme used to fund a state-of-the-art revamping of its trash-burning incinerator, which left the city saddled with debt.
The bill could go before the two houses of the Republican-controlled state legislature as early as this week. A spokesman for the Republican governor would not immediately comment on whether Corbett would sign it if passed.
Harrisburg is one of a handful of cities that have considered filing for a rare municipal bankruptcy as a way to address fiscal difficulties in the wake of the recession.
Corbett and some lawmakers have opposed such a move for Harrisburg, saying the city would be better off in a rescue plan under the state's program for distressed cities.
In July, the Harrisburg City Council rejected a state-approved rescue plan, which called on it to renegotiate labor deals, cut jobs and sell or lease its most valuable assets, including the incinerator and parking garages.

(Original title: "Internacional: Incertidumbre en Argentina por supuesta caída de un meteorito").
[ ATTENTION: NEW BALL OF FIRE FALLING FROM EARTH!! This time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 26 de septiembre 2011. ]

" One woman died and six other people were injured as a result of the meteor event. A local resident told Radio 10 that the explosion was caused by a flaming object that fell from the sky and completely destroyed a house and several cars. 'It was a veritable earthquake,' she said.
The event took place a few minutes before 2 a.m. in a property located at the intersection Luis Vernet and Los Andes streets in Monte Grande, municipality of Esteban Echeverria.
The causes of the explosion remain unknown, but local residents claim 'a fireball fell from the sky.'
There was an overpowering smell like gunpowder, recalled one of the people living in the area, in statements made to C5N. 'There is no explanation for what took place,' added Cayetano, another resident, to Radio 10. He then added: 'A neighbor woman came out running because she could see a blue fireball falling from above'.
Guillermo Perez, commander of the local fire brigade, remarked that the causes of the incident remain unknown, while acknowledging that the first story points to 'an object that fell from the sky.'
'I heard that version, but can't confirm it at first instance. It is necessary to go by an expert investigation to see what really happened,' he told Radio 10. Perez confirmed that two houses and a business were 'completely destroyed.'
As a result of the event, an elderly woman trapped under the debris perished while another six were rescued. Firefighters told C5N that these were subsequently taken to a local hospital.
The fatality is among the victims living in the house where the explosion took place. Three of the injured are members of the household and the other three are from the adjacent house, affected by the explosion. The injured parties are out of danger, C5N explained.
According to neighbors, the explosion was even heard in such neighboring communities as Ezeiza and Temperley, to the south of Greater Buenos Aires." ]

Teenage girl dies in Japan 'exorcism'
Teenage girl dies in Japan 'exorcism'
A 13-year-old girl suffocated after she was strapped down and doused with
water by her father and a monk who were trying to expel an "evil spirit",
Japanese police said Tuesday.
Fifty-six-year-old monk Kazuaki Kinoshita and the girl's 50-year-old father
Atsushi Maishigi were accused of what police described as "waterfall
service": strapping the victim Tomomi Maishigi to a chair and dousing
her face with water.
News reports said the two men poured water over her as an "exorcism"
with the father holding the girl down while the monk chanted sutras.
Miss Maishigi's mother called an ambulance after her daughter fell
unconscious, but it was too late. She was confirmed dead early the next
morning.
"The cause of death is suffocation," the police official said.
A police spokesman said the attack allegedly took place in Kumamoto in the
country's south on the night of August 27.
Reports said the the girl's parents had turned to the monk after the youngster
had suffered several years of mental and physical ill health that doctors
had not been able to resolve.
The monk, who belongs to a religious group deriving from a Buddhist sect, said
that the girl was possessed by an evil spirit, the private network TBS said.
Her parents had taken her to one of the group's facilities equipped with a
water pump and made her go through the dousing practice about 100 times
before, the broadcaster said.

The pump pulls water from underground and draws it to a height of 2.5 metres
(eight feet), from where it falls on the person sitting below, TBS said.
