Ghosts of incinerator bond deal haunt Harrisburg election
By Hilary Russ (Reuters) - In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's
cash-hungry capital city, local political battles are waged much as
they are across the United States: with big personalities and
bare-knuckled verbal brawls. But unlike most cities, Harrisburg's
financial troubles have thrust it into the national spotlight, most

driving the city toward insolvency since 2009. The $3.7 trillion

Hellenic Postbank and Proton by mid-July with big banks continuing
to absorb small lenders as part of plans to revive the battered
sector, the country's foreign lenders said in an inspection review.

Job market gains could lead Fed to taper QE3 early
By Ann Saphir and Jonathan Spicer (Reuters) - The beginning of
the end of the Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program might
come sooner than many investors think if recent gains in the U.S.
labor market do not prove fleeting. Much will depend on how
economic data, which has given mixed signals for growth prospects,
develops over the next few months. Reports on job growth in
