White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest answers reporters questions about Syria in the briefing room of the White House in Washington Thursday.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Thursday prepared for the possibility of launching unilateral American military action against Syria within days as Britain opted out in a stunning vote by Parliament. Facing skepticism at home, too, the administration shared intelligence with lawmakers aimed at convincing them the Syrian government used chemical
weapons against its people and must be punished. Despite roadblocks in forming an international coalition, Obama appeared undeterred and advisers said he would be willing to retaliate against Syria on his own. The president of the United States is elected with the duty to protect the national security interests in the United States of America, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Even before the vote in London, the U.S. was preparing to act without formal authorization from the United Nations, where Russia has blocked efforts to seek a resoluSee SYRIA | 12A

WILKES-BARRE A woman in her 90s died Thursday in a blaze that consumed the home on Kent Lane in which she was born and raised, according to neighbors. City firefighters responded to a structure fire at 77 Kent Lane that was reported to Luzerne County 911 at 6:48 p.m. Crews found heavy fire inside the threestory, single-family home when they arrive, said Fire Chief Jay Delaney. They were onscene within four minutes, but it was just too late to save the woman, whom firefighters found on the second floor, he said. The woman was the only person who lived there, Delaney said. He declined to release her name. Next-door neighbor Dennis Palmer, 64, identified the sole occupant as Elizabeth Kovach. Betty, as she was known to her friends, had lived in the house her entire life, he said, and he described her as a very nice lady and kept very good care of her home. Dennis Palmer and his wife Dorothy lived next door to Kovach for the past 10 years. Dorothy Palmer said she was stepping outside when she heard a bang next door, looked up and saw flames shooting out of the second-floor window. She alerted her husband and ran down the street to try to reach a neighbor who had been somewhat of a caretaker to Kovach. Dennis Palmer ran to retrieve his garden hose, but that didnt do a whole lot of good, he said. Kids in the neighborhood kicked the door in, but it was too involved, we couldnt get inside. A city fire inspector was on scene and a state police fire marshal was called, Delaney said. He wouldnt speculate on what might have caused the fire. Dennis Palmer was grateful to the firefighters for arriving in time to safeguard his house and the house on the other side of Kovachs because the flames were getting close, he said. But its a shame, he said, Pete g.

WILKES-BARRE Just like 50 years ago, they sat in awe of the words of the speech that changed minds, attitudes and opinions. As Ron Felton, president of the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of the NAACP, gave his impassioned version of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream speech, it was obvious that the message remains as powerful today as it was in 1963. The 17-minute speech ends with: And when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Gods children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank
Nathan Ward, Kings college director of the Office of College Diversity, leads attendees in the Black National Anthem while a photo of Dr. Martin Luther King is shown behind him during the 50 Years of An Unforgettable Dream program Thursday night at Kings College.
God Almighty, we are free at last! Felton delivered the speech almost from memory pausing only a few times to check his notes. He also injected a few Wilkes-Barre references that caught the attention of many of the 200 or so in attendance. Felton feels strongly about Dr. King and the holiday in his honor. He wants City Hall to close, but he has not been able to convince Mayor Tom Leighton See SPEECH | 12A

MIDDAY DRAWING
DUPONT A restaurant was the special menu item of the day Thursday, and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport board decided to place an order. During the Bi-County Board of Commissioners meeting, members agreed to spend $50,000 to acquire the 8,196-square-foot building that once housed a Damons Restaurant and most recently a Midtown Sports Bar and Grill. In addition to the building, the airport acquired at no cost $47,500 worth of restaurant equipment already installed in the building. An independent appraisal of the facility showed the value of the building and its contents to be $262,500. In addition to paying $50,000 to building owner Dublin LLC, the airport board agreed to forgive the past eight months of unpaid rent totalling $16,000. The closing is scheduled for Sept. 30. The airport owns the land the building sits on at 28 Concorde Drive and has long collected rent from the buildings owner, even when the building remained vacant. But after Damons closed in March 2007, the building sat unused until Midtown Sundries, a chain restaurant based in Charlotte, N.C., opened for business in 2010. That changed hands and in early 2011 Gina Kline and Ron Wellington of Lain took over the lease

The owners of the closed Midtown Sports Bar at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre International Airport have agreed to sell the building to the airport for $50,000.
The restaurant sits right next to the Holiday Inn Express and is in an area that could soon see additional trafc as part of a $41.9 million PennDOT project that includes the redesigning of entrance and exit ramps for the Interstate 81 Avoca interchange and an extension of Navy Way, which connects to Concorde Drive. The work including construction of a bridge over the Pennsylvania Turnpike that will create better access to and from
the businesses in the Grimes Industrial Park will open up more than 100 acres on the airports western side to potential development. Airport Director Barry J. Centini said the airport will start looking for potential tenants immediately and he noted that he believes a national chain restaurant would be the best t. If a restaurant doesnt attract interest, he said turning the building into ofce space is a possibility.

Firefighters gather outside 201-203 N. 3rd St. in West Hazleton after extinguishing a blaze at the vacant double-block home early Thursday morning.

WEST HAZLETON Fire crews responded early Thursday morning to a suspicious blaze at a vacant home that neighbors say should have been boarded up or demolished after it caught re a few months ago. Fire crews were dispatched to 201 N. 3rd St. at 1:56 a.m. for a reported structure re, West Hazleton Assistant Fire Chief Era Gould said. Borough police arrived on scene rst, followed within a minute or two by West Hazleton and Hazleton City re departments, who found re in the kitchen area of the rst oor, Gould said. Fireghters had that re extinguished within 10 minutes. But after ventilation fans were placed in windows and doors,
ames broke out again on the second oor, so additional crews were deployed with hand lines. Fire ravaged the basement and rst and second oors, Gould said, adding that the other side of the three-story double block home 203 N. 3rd St. had sustained damage during a re there in April. Gould is calling the re suspicious and said a state police re marshal has been called in to investigate. Peter DeMarco, who lives directly across the street, said the home was vacant when ames broke out there ve months ago. Nobodys done nothing to get it taken down or closed up, DeMarco said. Two blocks over and one block down, theres another building the same way. Were just waiting for something to happen. DeMarco suspects vandals are responsible for the res, he said, and hes con-
cerned about the safety of nearby residents, neighborhood children and reghters. Other neighbors raised similar concerns. Gould said the structure was secured after the initial re investigation there in April. Asked why it was no longer secured, Gould said more than likely, it was unauthorized people in that house. Later Thursday, the borough secretary said Code Enforcement Ofcer Dan Zola would not be available to comment until next week, but she said he advised the Streets Department employees to board up the North Third Street home. Mayor Frank Schmidt said borough employees are working to keep vacant structures secured, but you can only do so much. These properties belong to people and theyre responsible to keep them secure. Everything has to be done legally, said Schmidt. You cant just go on peoples properties and do things.

WILKES-BARRE Some of the surveillance cameras are being moved as part of the citys effort to focus more resources and police on high crime areas, a Hawkeye Security Solutions ofcial said Wednesday. Greg Barrouk, a city employees and board member of the non-prot organization overseeing the cameras, said the areas are on Sambourne Street in South Wilkes-Barre and Welles Street and Dougher Lane in the Heights section. Barrouk said some of the cameras will be relocated from Wilkes-Barre Area School District ofce buildings, but not the schools. In addition some cameras located on playing elds will be moved, he said. The school district in April decided against entering three-year, $270,000 contract with Hawkeye, leaving the organization looking for ways to replace the lost revenue. The Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority has a contract with Hawkeye that expires at the end of the year. The authority paid Hawkeye $38,571 from April to August, according to the income statement provided at the organizations monthly meeting Wednesday. The cutback prompted Hawkeye to amend its contract with Legion Security Services Inc. as of May 1 that reduced the rms hours monitoring the system in a control room at the city police headquarters. Ofcers on light duty monitor the system so that in conjunction with Legion the control room is staffed around the clock. Hawkeye paid Legion $17,330 from May to July. Including a $50 bill for preparing the minutes for this months meeting, Hawkeye had a cash balance of $22,457 as of Wednesday. Were always looking for additional revenues to come in, said Frank Majikes, chairman of Hawkeyes board. But at this point we dont have any particular businesses or organizations to say that theyre coming on board. Majikes said the camera service agreement is up at the end of the year and the board should know by November where it stands on that.

IN BRIEF
SALEM TWP.
Drug agents with the Luzerne County Drug Task Force and troopers with the state police Vice and Narcotics Unit were busy in three municipalities arresting three women for alleged heroin sales and ve people in another alleged drug bust at a Wilkes-Barre motel. Police in Kingston and Wilkes-Barre arrested Tiara McDufe, 22, of Building 324 Sherman Hills apartments, and Shantique Goodson, 27, of 7 N. Meade St., Wilkes-Barre, on Wednesday after they allegedly sold heroin in the area of Schuyler Avenue and West Market Street in Kingston.
with intent to deliver cocaine, criminal conspiracy, criminal use of communication facility, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. McDufe was charged with delivery of heroin, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, criminal conspiracy, criminal use of communication facility and possession of drug paraphernalia. Goodson and McDufe were arraigned Thursday morning by District Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail
each. Authorities said more charges might be led against McDufe and Goodson. Nanticoke surveillance For more than a week, task force drug agents and Nanticoke police say they kept watch of Tameeka Shantell Gaddis apartment on East Union Street. Late Wednesday, authorities made their move, allegedly nding 91 heroin packets, two bags of marijuana, a box containing a large quantity of partially consumed marijuana cigarettes, a water bong and contraband, according to charges led. Arrest records allege Gaddis sold heroin at and near her apartment on Aug. 19, Aug. 21 and Wednesday before authorities served a search warrant at her residence. Gaddis, 27, was arraigned Thursday morning on multiple drug offenses. She was jailed at the county correctional facility
for lack of $175,000 bail. W-B motel searched Five people are facing charges after city police and state police troopers searched the WilkesBarre Lodge Motel on Kidder Street, allegedly nding a large amount of illegal drugs early Thursday morning. Police said those arrested were: Nkeuah Burris, of Binghamton, N.Y.; Darrah Mason, Queens, N.Y.; and Brian Francis, Denver Pearson and Daniel Vernon, all from WilkesBarre. The warrants were issued as a result of an investigation of illegal drug sales in the Sherman Hills area and out of the motel. A search of two motel rooms controlled by the alleged drug trafckers resulted in the seizure of a large amount of crack cocaine, heroin, drug paraphernalia and proceeds from peddling drugs, according to a news release.
WILKES-BARRE
An error made by the Luzerne County Bureau of Elections director will cost Luzerne County $17,332.98 to rectify. Director Marissa Crispell-Barber failed to notify election ofcials in Schuylkill and Carbon counties that Steve Hahn withdrew from the Hazleton Area School Board race in the May primary, so his name appeared on the ballot in those counties. A judge ordered that special elections in those counties would be necessary to correct the error. The do-over elections changed the outcome on the Democrat ticket, with Carmella Yenkevich knocking Jarred ODonnell out of his fourth place spot in vote garnering. Luzerne County must pay Schuylkill County $10,047.75 and Carbon County $6,134.03 for the cost of the special elections there, as well as $1,151.20 to Yenkevichs attorney, Bill Vinsko. The bureau saved $56,000 last election by programming the electronic voting machines in-house, so the payout will not effect the county general budget, Crispell Barber said.

A better economy is leading to the best Labor Day travel outlook nationally since 2008 and locally since 2010. Nearly 43,000 Luzerne and Columbia County residents are projected to travel at least 50 miles this weekend, according to AAA Travel. Thats a 4.2 percent increase over Labor Day 2012 and is in line with the increase expected on a national level. AAA projects 34.1 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Labor Day holiday. AAA is forecasting a lift in Labor Day travel this year due to an increasingly positive economic outlook, with key indicators such as unemployment and the housing market rebounding as the year goes on,
said Jenny M. Robinson, a AAA MidAtlantic spokeswoman. A lower gas average than at this time last year is also at play, Robinson said. Motorists in the Wilkes-Barre area will pay $3.54 per gallon on average. Last year at this time the average was 24 cents higher at $3.78. For many Americans, positive economic growth, coupled with decreasing gas prices, contribute to an increased comfort level about traveling for the last three-day weekend of summer. And as schools across the nation usher in their next session of students, the Labor Day holiday provides families with the opportunity for one nal extended summer weekend getaway. While motor vehicles by far the number one mode of travel this weekend, airplane
travel is seeing an increase too. More than 3,700 Wilkes-Barre area residents plan to y to their Labor Day destination. This is a 2.6 percent increase from last year and represents about nine percent of those who are projected to travel this weekend. About 36,000 Wilkes-Barre area residents plan to drive to their Labor Day destination. This is a 4.3 percent increase from last year and represents 84 percent of total holiday weekend travelers. The Labor Day travel holiday started Thursday and ends Monday with the majority of travelers 46 percent departing today. Monday is the most popular date of return from holiday trips, with 43 percent planning to return from their destination that day. Traveling Wilkes-Barre area residents will spend an average of $1,077 on Labor
PennDOT is encouraging motorists traveling through Northeastern Pennsylvania for the Labor Day holiday to take a safety break at interstate rest areas and state welcome centers. From Saturday through Monday, community non-profit organizations will serve free coffee at rest areas on Interstates 80, 81 and 84, and at the Matamoras and Great Bend welcome centers.
Day getaways. Thats up $153 from the average spent on Labor Day travel last year of $924. In 2010 the ongoing recession impacted travel plans, and in 2011 it was ooding and cleanup caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Travel edged up in 2012 but was impacted by Tropical Storm Isaac, which led to cancelled trips for many.

WASHINGTON Striving to take action where Congress would not, the Obama administration announced new steps Thursday on gun control, curbing the import of military surplus weapons and proposing to close a little-known loophole that lets felons and others circumvent background checks by registering guns to corporations. Four months after a gun control drive collapsed spectacularly in the Senate, President Barack Obama
added two more executive actions to a list of 23 steps the White House determined Obama could take on his own to reduce gun violence. With the political world focused on Mideast tensions and looming scal battles, the move signaled Obamas intent to show he hasnt lost sight of the cause he took up after 20 rst graders and six adults were gunned down last year in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Vice President Joe Biden, Obamas point-man on gun control after the Newtown tragedy thrust guns into the
national spotlight, unveiled the new actions Thursday at the White House. Its simple, its straightforward, its common sense, Biden said in the Obama Roosevelt Room. One new policy will end a government practice that lets military weapons, sold or donated by the U.S. to allies, be reimported into the U.S. by private entities, where some may end up on the streets. The White House said the U.S. has approved 250,000 of those guns to be reimported since 2005; under the new policy, only museums and a few other entities like the government will be eligible
to reimport militarygrade rearms. The Obama administration is also proposing a federal rule to stop those who would be ineligible to pass a background check from skirting the law by registering certain guns, like machine guns and short-barreled shotguns, to a corporation or trust. The new rule would require people associated with those entities, like beneciaries and trustees, to undergo the same type of ngerprint-based background checks as individuals if they want to register those types of guns. Its a very artful dodge to get around people who are not
capable, constitutionally or legally, of owning a weapon, Biden said. The National Rie Association dismissed the administrations moves as misdirected, arguing that background checks for corporations and a ban on reimporting outdated guns wouldnt keep criminals from getting weapons. The Obama administration has once again completely missed the mark when it comes to stopping violent crime, said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. This administration should get serious about prosecuting violent criminals who misuse guns and stop focusing its efforts on law-abiding gun owners.

Firefighter Troy Drouin takes a break before mopping up hot spots near Yosemite National Park, Calif., on Wednesday.
JACKSON, N.J.
An amusement park in New Jersey says it will build the worlds tallest drop ride. Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson says Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom will hoist riders 415 feet in the air and drop them back to the ground at 90 mph. Adding to the thrill factor: The parks Kingda Ka roller coaster trains will hurl toward riders on Zumanjaro at speeds up to 128 mph. Zumanjaro is scheduled to open in 2014. Its three, 41-story towers will be built on the face of the roller coaster. Each tower will feature a gondola for eight riders.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The huge Sierra Nevada wildre and its smoke plume have caused some fearful tourists to opt out of plans for the last big travel weekend of the summer, but most appear intent to go through with vacations to destinations such as Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe. Those who keep their hard-to-get Labor Day lodging reservations in Yosemite will enjoy a pleasant surprise: stunning views of the towering granite icons Half Dome and El Capitan with less of the usual holiday congestion. The park has seen some reservation cancellations and some nearby mountain communities have had a serious drop-off in business due to the 301-square-mile Rim Fire, which was 30 percent contained Thursday. More than 20,000 acres of the re are along the northern edge of the 750,000-acre national park. But 20 miles upwind in Yosemite Valley, the sky is clear and not even the scent of smoke is in the air.
Park ofcials expect about 3,000 cars a day to pass through gates this weekend instead of the nearly 5,000 that might typically show on the holiday. Most of the missing will be day tourists, not folks who have waited months and even years for a campsite along the Merced River or room at the historic Ahwahnee Lodge. Weve had minimal cancellations, and when we do we ll them immediately, said park spokesman Scott Gediman. The campsites are full and there are plenty of people, but because of the publicity were slower. Its a familiar pattern of panic, cancellation and rebooking in the rugged national park that has been shaped by all manner of disaster. In years past, when boulders tumbling from 3,000foot granite monoliths have sent tourists scrambling, or when a mouse-borne illness killed tent cabin guests, cancellations have poured in. But the park never has enough lodging for the 4 million tourists who visit annually, so vacant rooms rarely go unlled for long. Thats not the case in nearby
Groveland, a scenic Gold Rush community along a road that carries 2.2 million cars into the park every year. Early on re tore along Highway 120, forcing its closure and cutting off the towns lifeblood. Since then the historic hamlet has been the dateline on scores of ominous news stories describing the inferno that has long since chewed its way north. The notoriety has taken a toll. I laid off all my girls, on Wednesday, said Laura Jensen, owner of the Firefall Coffee Roasting Company. This has totally drained us. Its like winter when we slow down and take care of the locals, but this should be our busiest time of the year. The Iron Door Saloon, which calls itself the oldest in California, also laid off employees this week, as did the Hotel Charlotte, a 1920s boutique hotel on Main Street. Ive had $20,000 worth of cancellations in the past few days, said Doug Edwards, who owns the hotel with his wife, Jen. Its fear-driven. People dont want to drive on a road that looks like Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

When the HPV vaccine was rst recommended for boys, health ofcials worried it would be an unusually hard sell. But a new report suggests that might not be the case. About 1 in 5 boys got at least one of the recommended three doses last year, relatively good for a new vaccine aimed at adolescents. The shots are largely intended not to protect boys from disease, but to stop them from spreading a sexually transmitted virus to girls that could cause cervical cancer. The vaccine hasnt been very popular among girls. The government report issued Thursday is the rst real sense of how many boys are getting the shots.
WASHINGTON In a dramatic change in drug policy, the Justice Department said Thursday that it wont sue to stop the states of Colorado and Washington from allowing recreational marijuana use as it issued a sweeping national policy statement that outlines its top priorities for pot enforcement. The action, welcomed by supporters of legalization, could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. Alaska is scheduled to vote on legalizing recreational use of marijuana next year, and a few other states plan similar votes in 2016. Under the policy, the top investigative priorities range from preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors to preventing sales revenue from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels and
preventing the diversion of marijuana outside of states where it is legal under state law. Other top-priority enforcement areas include stopping state-authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover for trafcking other illegal drugs and preventing violence and the use of rearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana. The top areas also include preventing drugged driving, preventing growing marijuana on public land and preventing marijuana possession on federal property. The announcement follows last years rst-in-thenation legalization of recreational marijuana use by the states of Colorado and Washington. In the aftermath of the moves by the two state, Attorney General Eric Holder launched a review of marijuana enforcement policy that included an examination of Colorado and

Washington. The issue was whether the states should be blocked from operating marijuana markets on the grounds that actively regulating an illegal substance conicts with federal drug law that bans it. Last December, President Barack Obama said it does
not make sense for the federal government to go after recreational drug users in a state that has legalized recreational use of small amounts of marijuana. Last week, the White House said that prosecution of drug trafckers remains an important priority.
WASHINGTON Being short on cash may make you a bit slower in the brain, a new study suggests. People worrying about having enough money to pay their bills tend to lose temporarily the equivalent of 13 IQ points, scientists found when they gave intelligence tests to shoppers at a New Jersey mall and farmers in India. The idea is that nancial stress monopolizes thinking, making other calculations slower and more difcult, sort of like the effects of going without sleep for a night. And this money-and-brain crunch applies, albeit to a smaller degree, to about 100 million Americans who face nancial squeezes, say the team of economists and psychologists who wrote the study published in Fridays issue of the journal Science. Our paper isnt about poverty. Its about people struggling to make ends meet, said Sendhil Mullainathan, a Harvard economist and study co-author. When we think about people who are nancially stressed, we think they are short on money, but the truth is they are also short on cognitive capacity. If you are always thinking about overdue bills, a mortgage or rent, or college loans, it takes away from your focus on other things. So being late on loans could end up costing you both interest points and IQ points, Mullainathan said. The study used tests that studied various aspects of thinking including a traditional IQ test, getting the 13 IQ point drop, said study co-author Jiaying Zhao, a professor of psychology and sustainability at the University of British Columbia. The scientists looked at the effects of nances on the brain both in the lab and in the eld. In controlled lab-like conditions, they had about 400 shoppers at Quaker Bridge Mall in central New Jersey consider certain nancial scenarios and tested their brain power. Then they looked at real life in the elds of India, where farmers only get paid once a year. Before the harvest, they take out loans and pawn goods. After they sell their harvest, they are ush with cash. Mullainathan and colleagues tested the same 464 farmers before and after the harvest and their IQ scores improved by 25 percent when their wallets fattened. Its a very powerful effect, said study co-author Eldar Shar, a Princeton University psychology professor. When you are dealing with budgetary nances, it does intrude on your thinking. Its at the top of your mind. In the New Jersey part of the study, the scientists tested about 400 shoppers, presenting them with scenarios that involved a large and a small car repair bill. Those with family incomes of about $20,000 scored about the same as those with $70,000 incomes on IQ tests when the car bill was small. But when the poorer people had to think about facing a whopping repair bill, their IQ scores were 40 percent lower.

WASHINGTON Driving in America has stalled, leading researchers to ask: Is the national love affair with the automobile over? After rising for decades, total vehicle use in the U.S. the collective miles people drive peaked in August 2007. It then dropped sharply during the Great Recession and has largely plateaued since, even though the economy is recovering and the population growing. Just this week, the Federal Highway Administration reported vehicle miles traveled during the rst half of 2013 were down slightly, continuing the trend. Even more telling, the average number of miles drivers individually rack up peaked in July 2004 at just over 900 per month, according to a study by Transportation Department economists Don Pickrell and David
Pace. By July of last year, that had fallen to 820 miles per month, down about 9 percent. Per capita automobile use is now back at the same levels as in the late 1990s. Until the mid-1990s, driving levels largely tracked economic growth, according to Pickrell and Pace, who said their conclusions are their own and not the governments. Since then, the economy has grown more rapidly than auto use. Gross domestic product declined for a while during the recession but reversed course in 2009. Auto use has yet to recover. Meanwhile, the share of people in their teens, 20s and 30s with drivers licenses has been dropping signicantly, suggesting that getting a drivers license is no longer the teenage rite of passage it once was. Researchers are divided on the reasons behind the trends. One camp says the changes are almost entirely linked to the economy. In a

few years, as the economy continues to recover, driving will probably bounce back, they reason. At the same time, they acknowledge there could be longterm structural changes in the economy that would prevent a return to the levels of driving growth seen in the past; its just too
soon to know. The other camp acknowledges that economic factors are important but says the decline in driving also reects fundamental changes in the way Americans view the automobile. For commuters stuck in trafc, getting into a car no longer cor-
relates with fun. Its also becoming more of a headache to own a car in central cities and downright difcult to park. The idea that the car means freedom, I think, is over, said travel behavior analyst Nancy McGuckin. Gone are the days of the car culture as immor-
talized in songs like Hot Rod Lincoln, Little Deuce Coupe and Pink Cadillac. The car as a fetish of masculinity is probably over for certain age groups, McGuckin said. I dont think young men care as much about the car they drive as they use to. Thats partly because cars have morphed into computers on wheels that few people dare tinker with, she said. You cant open the hood and get to know it the way you used to, she said. Lifestyles are also changing. People are doing more of their shopping online. More people are taking public transit than ever before. And biking and walking to work and for recreation are on the rise. Social networking online may also be substituting for some trips. A study by University of Michigan transportation researcher Michael Sivak found that the decline in teens and young adults with drivers licenses in the U.S. was mirrored in other wealthy countries with a high proportion of
Internet users. Demographic changes are also a factor. The peak driving years for most people are between ages 45 and 55 when they are the height of their careers and have more money to spend, said transportation analyst Alan Pisarski, author of Commuting in America. Now, the last of the baby boomers the giant cohort born between 1946 and 1964 are moving out of their peak driving years. They are still the dominant players, and they are moving toward a quieter transportation lifestyle, he said. Theres also a driving gender gap. In a role reversal, there are now more women than men in the U.S. with drivers licenses. And the declines in miles driven over the past decade were more widespread among men than women, according to Pickrell and Pace. Driving by men has declined in every age group except those 65 or older, where it increased slightly. Among women, driving declined only among young adults and teenagers.

producing states, causing some of last years widespread drought to retreat. The rain stopped in July in many of those states, however, and as the soil dried out, the heat set in and stressed corn and soybean crops. The southeast Iowa city of Burlington, which is surrounded by corn elds, had its wettest spring on record at 19.23 inches of precipitation, nearly 8 inches above normal. Yet its now on track to have its driest summer on record, with
only 3.86 inches so far, 8.41 inches below normal. Corn and soybeans have developed enough that weather conditions are not likely to reduce the number of kernels on the corn cob or the seeds in soybean pods. But those kernels and seeds could develop smaller and weigh less, which could reduce the harvest this fall, Elmore said. Unless its a drastic reduction, its unlikely to affect consumer prices at the grocery store. A shortage of corn and soybeans
from a bad year would likely have a more immediate impact on meat prices because it costs more for livestock farmers to feed their herds. The dry conditions arent conned to Middle America: for the rst time since early April, more than half of the country is now in some stage of drought, according to the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday. That includes much of the West, where the hot, dry weather has fueled wildres. Drought conditions surged in the past week in corn-producing states, up to 45 percent of the region from 25 percent the week before, said Brad Rippey, a meteorologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Soybeans in drought also increased sharply in the last week to 38 percent from 16 percent, he said. In northwest Kansas, farmer Brian Baalman watched the temperature reach 94 degrees on his truck thermometer Wednesday. He farms about 30 miles west of Colby, where corn plants are turning white and ears are drooping as the heat kills the corn thats not irri-
gated. We are basically back to where we (were) in the moisture situation before the rain came, you know, he said. Go west of me and it is a lot different, drier yet, and folks are worse off than we are, he said. Lack of rain has caused drought conditions to expand in most of Wisconsin and Minnesota, along with eastern Illinois, western Indiana and northern Michigan, and parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, according to the
drought report. Rain eased drought in portions of northern Nebraska, though much of the western half of the state remains in extreme drought. The report also shows that abnormally dry conditions, one stage below drought, expanded in eastern Iowa and South Dakota. All of those states grow either corn or soybeans, or both. In western Wisconsin, where farmers have been waiting weeks for rain,
grazing usually provides about half of the food that the 550 dairy cows consume in the summer at Saxon Homestead Farm. But this year, the pastures are providing only about a third of whats needed, and farmer Karl Klessig and his family have already dipped into their winter food supply. We never touch those stacks until October or November, Klessig said Wednesday. This year, we started feeding two of those stacks in August.

SHEENA DELAZIO
WILKES-BARRE A Benton woman has led a lawsuit against a Plymouth adult entertainment bar, claiming the business knowingly gave her alcohol when she was drunk, causing her to drink and drive and ultimately strike a car headon. She and two others were injured. Rachel Fincham Kaminski, 27, led the suit in Luzerne County Court against the Getaway Lounge, alleging negligence and requesting
more than $100,000 in damages. Kaminski led the suit through her attorneys, Jonathan Comitz and Kristopher Januzzi. According to the suit, Kaminski was at the Getaway Lounge on Nov. 26, 2011, and drank alcohol until about 11:30 p.m. The bar and an unnamed worker, who is identied in the suit as Jane Doe, continued to provide her with drinks even though she was visibly intoxicated, had slurred speech and was speaking incoherently, according to the lawsuit. Kaminski left the bar and
attempted to drive home, side-swiping several vehicles, driving on the wrong side of the road and causing a head-on collision. Kaminski had a bloodalcohol level of 0.301 percent, the suit states. A person in Pennsylvania is consider intoxicated with a BAC of 0.08 percent. The lawsuit claims the accident was caused by the Getaway Lounge and Jane Does negligence, carelessness and recklessness and that the business had no system in place to identify if someone had consumed too much alcohol and was unable to drive. Kaminski was charged in the incident and in August 2012 pleaded
guilty to two counts of driving under the inuence and one count each of accidents involving personal injury and reckless driving. She was later sentenced to 72 hours to six months in prison as well as one year probation. Kaminskis drivers license was suspended for one year. According to the criminal complaint, Kaminski said she was at the bar with a friend she brought there for an audition and that she remembered drinking only three beers. Kaminski told police that after the incident and learning her BAC, her friends told her she also consumed several shots in addition to the beer.

PLAINS TWP. A Lackawanna County man is facing bookmaking charges on allegations he collected debt money for wagers placed earlier this year using a sports gambling website. State police on Thursday led ve misdemeanor counts of engaging in pool selling/bookmaking against William Schreiber, 32, of 634 North Irving Ave., Scranton. According to an afdavit led by state police, informants told them they owed money to Schreiber after he acted as a bookie for a website called w w w.wa ge r 2 0 2 0 . c o m . Troopers referred to it as an illegal website. The main page of that site features photos of two players in NFL football uniforms, and a link to wagering rules for bets on a number of North American sports leagues. When contacted by The Times Leader, a man
who answered the phone at Wager 2020 said the person who responds to news media questions was not available. He conrmed that the site was based outside of the United States but would not say where. Two condential sources in May reported making payments, ranging from $150 to $400, to Schreiber on at least ve occasions, troopers said. A person identied only as condential source 1, or CS1, told troopers that a condential informant asked them to relay money to Schreiber as payment for losing a bet on the Wager 2020 site. CS1 reported handing $200 and $250 directly to Schreiber, according to police. A second condential source, CS2, reported meeting with a condential informant on three occasions to help that person relay payment of gambling debts to Schreiber, police said. CS2 told troopers that the condential informant told them Schreiber appeared with another man in the poker room at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino in Plains Township and had words with the informant about
money that was owed. The informant told CS2 that they feared Billy and Billys friend, and asked CS2 to relay money to a third party for delivery to Schreiber. CS2 agreed. CS2 stated that prior to taking money from the condential informant, Billy (Schreiber) sent him/her a text asking if he/she would be willing to take the money from the condential informant and give it to a third party, who would deliver it to Schreiber. The source agreed, troopers said. That source allegedly also told police about participating in the illegal website on two occasions and making payments to Schreiber rst in person, later by placing money in a bank account. The payments included a juice payment equivalent to 50 cents for every $5 lost, CS2 told police. Schreiber is to be served by summons. A preliminary hearing has been set for Oct. 10 before District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township.

LAS VEGAS News that hundreds of threatened desert tortoises face euthanasia with the pending closure of a refuge near Las Vegas has generated a storm of reaction that has government ofcials scrambling to nd alternatives and elding offers from people wishing to adopt the reptiles or make donations. The Associated Press reported this week that the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center, which has sheltered thousands of displaced tortoises for 23 years, is scheduled to close in 2014 as funding runs out. As the location just south of Las Vegas begins to ramp down, it is euthanizing tortoises deemed too unhealthy to return to the wild. Healthy tortoises wont be killed. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service desert tortoise recovery coordinator Roy Averill-Murray estimated last week that about 50 percent to 60 percent of the 1,400 tortoises that live at
Research associate Pamela Flores conducts a health assessment on a desert tortoise at the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center in Las Vegas which is expected to close next year.

the refuge were sick. Such tortoises cannot be released into the wild because they could infect their healthy wild brethren. The estimate prompted a public outcry and debate among the various agencies connected to the refuge about the number of at-risk tortoises. It also forced the agency to issue a statement assuring the public that no healthy tortoises will be killed but saying that euthanasia is the only option for many of the animals because they are sick. Fish and Wildlife also assigned four people to eld calls and
put a message about the situation on its spokeswomans answering machine. Deputy Fish and Wildlife Service director Carolyn
Wells said Wednesday that the 50 percent estimate of sick tortoises at the facility might be correct, but added that not all of the ailing ani-
mals will be killed. Some of them could potentially go to research facilities, she said, though she could not say how many, and she does not yet have commitments from biologists. Fish and Wildlife operates the center in conjunction with the San Diego Zoo. Allyson Walsh, associate director for the zoos Institute for Conservation Research, said just 30 percent of the residents are receiving medical treatment, though some others have been quarantined and need new evaluations. The ones that dont get better and that are sick and suffering will probably be euthanized because thats the sensible thing to do, she said. She disputed the notion that budget cuts are forcing the reptiles to be put down. Although the center
has housed sickly tortoises for years, Walsh said they eventually would have been euthanized anyway. Walsh said sick tortoises cannot be adopted out and she has not been contacted by any researchers interested in taking in the sick animals. Thats a possibility but we wouldnt transfer an animal to anyone who was doing destructive research, she said. The right thing to do for a sick animal is euthanize it, she said. Seth Webster disagrees. Webster, a 36 year old programmer from New York, created a Change.org petition that together with a similar one on the site has drawn more than 3,000 signatures. He said he is working with a Florida tortoise refuge that recently bought land in Nevada to see if Fish and Wildlife will transfer
the tortoises, or at least let an outside evaluator decide which animals are so sick they should be killed. Animals have a very strong will to survive, he said. These tortoises live to 100 years. If we euthanize him, are we robbing him of 30 years? It doesnt seem fair to euthanize them just because the tortoises are sick and someone ran out of money. Desert tortoises have made their rocky homes in Utah, California, Arizona and Nevada for 200 million years. But the prehistoric animal has some unfortunate evolutionary quirks, including a susceptibility to u-like respiratory infections and difculties settling in to new homes. They are also sensitive to change as the tortoises sometimes dehydrate themselves by voiding a years worth of stored water when handled.

DALLAS The mother of twins successfully separated after being born joined at the chest says shes looking forward to holding the babies she once thought had no chance of survival. Im just so happy that theyre here and theyre alive and thriving. Its the best feeling in the world, Jenni Ezell said Thursday during a news conference at Medical City Childrens Hospital in Dallas, where she was joined by husband Dave and a doctor. Owen and Emmett Ezell were separated Saturday at the hospital after being born joined from just below the breast bone to just below the belly button on July 15. The babies shared a liver and intestines and had an about 3 inch by 5 inch area on their lower stomach that wasnt covered by skin or muscles. The whole pregnancy
was very frightening. I didnt know what would happen. I didnt know if they would make it. Its hard as a mom to know that, Ezell said tearfully. Dr. Clair Schwenueman, a neonatologist, said that once the boys were born, tests were done to determine exactly how many connections they had. During the nine-hour surgery, a team of surgeons separated the liver and intestines, with the most difcult part being the separation of a shared blood vessel in the liver. At this point theyre as stable as we could hope for post-operatively, Schwenueman said. Conjoined twins are rare, occurring in about one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 deliveries, the doctor said. The boys weighed a combined 11 pounds, 15 ounces at birth. Hospital ofcials say the twins had grown to more than 16 pounds when the surgery was done.

WILKES-BARRE The owner of a towing business has led a lawsuit against Ashley borough alleging the police chief has retaliated against him, causing him to lose business and have his reputation put on the line. James Barberio, owner of Ashley Automotive, led the suit through his attorneys, Larry Kansky and Tom Marsilio, against the borough, borough council and police Chief John Bell. The suit alleges ve counts, including breach of contract, and requests monetary damages. According to the suit, Barberio reported to Bell in November 2012 that a police ofcer was sleeping on the job. After reporting the incident, the suit states, the relationship between Barberio, who had served as the boroughs tower for three years, and Bell deteriorated.
The suit states Bell penned two memos about Barberio and his business, alleging awed towing and other incidents, as well as alleging Barberio is not properly licensed or registered. I nd that Ashley Auto cannot provide the necessary services and simply does not meet the needs of the Ashley Borough Police Department, Bell wrote in one of the memos. The suit states that as a result Bell instructed ofcers to use another towing company, causing a breach of contract with Barberio. Kansky said Thursday that although there was no written contract between Barberio and the borough, there was clearly a verbal contract that is evidenced in letters and borough meetings. The suit states Barberio is unable to seek other contracts due to the perception that (Barberio) did something wrong to Ashley Borough and
that Barberio has suffered emotional distress and nancial burdens. The suit claims a defamation of character count in regards to the memos penned by Bell, as well as an invasion of privacy. Neither Mayor Richard Oravic nor council president Joseph Gorham could be reached for comment. Bell said Thursday he cannot comment on the suit because he has not yet seen it. In Bells memos, he says: He stopped using Barberios services because of improper towing procedures, that Barberio argued with Bell regarding an amber light on his vehicle and that Barberio allegedly took ownership information out of a vehicle that could have marred evidence.. A second memo written by Bell alleges, among other things, Barberios business is not licensed by the state and is not a licensed salvage dealer. Kansky and Marsilio said Thursday their client is properly licensed in all aspects and that the borough ignored attempts by them to resolve the issues.
NEWS
GILBERTON Police Chief Mark Kessler expects to be red for posting incendiary videos in which he ranted obscenely about the Second Amendment and liberals while spraying machine-gun re with borough-owned weapons. But Kessler, whose progun videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views online, has no intention of going away quietly. With an Internet radio show, speaking invitations to gun rallies around the country and a newly formed Constitution Security Force that he claims already has chapters in 45 states, the 41-year-old coal minerturned-cop said his message that the federal government is too big, too powerful and wants to grab guns is resonating with a segment of the public that believes as he does. The support has been overwhelming, both national and international, he said. I nd it truly amazing how many people nally said, You know what? This guys right. Today is the last day of Kesslers 30-day suspension over what the
Gilberton Police Chief Mark Kessler says he expects to be fired for posting incendiary videos to YouTube.

Gilberton council has said was unauthorized use of the weapons. The council could decide his fate tonight. But if Kesslers worried about losing job, hes not showing it. If thats the price I got to pay for standing up for what I believe in, apparently for what a lot of Americans believe in, Im willing to pay that price, said Kessler, speaking to The Associated Press at a gun range near Gilberton in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. If anything, his rhetoric has grown even more menacing. This week, Kessler posted another potty-mouthed video in which he displayed paper targets with scary-looking clowns on them, dubbed Eric and Danny. Those happen to be the rst names of Council President Daniel Malloy and Vice President Eric Boxer, whom he has attacked on his website. Patting an assault rie, Kessler said, This is the friend that Erics going to meet today. After ring a volley at the target, he said, Eric got a couple rounds to the head. In an earlier video, Kessler savaged Secretary of State John Kerry as a traitor over a U.S.-backed international arms treaty. COME AND TAKE IT! he screamed, ring a machine gun. Kessler said he posted that video and others like it partly out of frustration, and partly in an effort to get people to pay attention to an issue he holds dear: the erosion of Second Amendment and other constitutional rights. It was shock and awe, he said. I could have went out there and did a
nice video and nobody wouldve gave it a second look. Now that hes achieved a measure of notoriety for his obscenity-lled rants against government tyranny and people he calls libtards, Kessler said he worries the federal government will try to silence him. He predicted chaos if that happens. God help them if something should happen to me, he said. I believe that could spark the next American Revolution. Kessler insisted hes not calling for anybody to take up arms against our government. But he also warned the government would be in a ght if it ever tried to take away his guns. I would resist, he said. Id ght for freedom, and if it cost me my life, then so be it. The FBI said its aware of the police chief and his videos. Kessler said he decided to speak out after the Obama administration began a push for new gun laws in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Most Gilberton residents approached by the AP this week declined to speak on the record.
HERSHEY Federal ofcials say it will cost more than $900 million to decommission a closed nuclear reactor and related structures at Three Mile Island, the central Pennsylvania plant that was the site of what is considered the worst commercial nuclear power plant accident in U.S. his-
tory almost three and a half decades ago. Dismantling Three Mile Islands Unit 2 and returning the property to a preplant state would cost about $918 million in 2012 dollars, John Buckley of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said at a meeting Wednesday in Hershey. Plans call for reactor owner First Energy Corp to begin dismantling the reac-
tor sometime after 2034, commission ofcials said, and they expressed condence about having enough money for the process. A trust fund set aside by the company contained more than $665 million and the rm will rely on earnings from that amount to funnel additional money into the fund, commission spokesman Neil Sheehan said.
HARRISBURG Republican Gov. Tom Corbett said Thursday it was inappropriate for his lawyers to compare samesex couples seeking marriage licenses to children. Corbetts administration has led a lawsuit seeking to block same-sex marriage licenses in suburban Philadelphia, where Montgomery County Register of Wills D. Bruce Hanes has issued more than 150 to gay and lesbian couples since July 24. State attorneys said in a court ling Wednesday the gay marriage licenses have no value or legitima-
cy and cant be defended in court. They compared gay and lesbian couples to children, who cant marry because a 1996 law says marriage is between a man and a woman. Corbett released a statement Thursday calling it a poor analogy. The case involving Montgomery County revolves around a very basic question: Does a public ofcial have the authority to disregard state law based on his own personal legal opinion about the constitutionality of a statute? he said. The analogy chosen in the legal brief led on August 28th

Syria
From page 1A the use of force, or from Capitol Hill. But the U.S. had expected Britain, a major ally, to join in the effort. Top U.S. ofcials spoke with certain lawmakers for more than 90 minutes in a teleconference Thursday evening to explain why they believe Bashar Assads government was the culprit in a suspected chemical attack last week. Lawmakers from both parties have been pressing Obama to provide a legal rationale for military action and specify objectives, as well as to lay out a rm case linking Assad to the attack. In London, Prime Minister David Cameron argued a military strike would be legal on humanitarian grounds. But he faced deep pressure from lawmakers and had already promised not to undertake military action until a U.N. chemical weapons team on the ground in Syria released its ndings about the Aug. 21 attack. The prime minister said in terse comments after the vote that while he believes in a tough response to the use of chemical weapons, he would respect the will of the House of Commons. Caitlin Hayden, Obamas National Security Council spokeswoman, said the used chemical weapons on Syrians. U.S. ofcials say the intelligence assessments are no slam dunk, with questions remaining about who actually controls some of Syrias chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether Assad himself ordered the strike. The ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence publicly. Despite shortcomings in the intelligence, the White House signaled urgency in acting, with Earnest, the White House spokesman saying the president believes there is a compressed time frame for responding. It is important for the Assad regime and other totalitarian dictators around the world to understand that the international community will not tolerate the indiscriminate, widespread use of chemical weapons, particularly against women and children as theyre sleeping in their beds, he said. But many Congress members were pressing Obama to explain the need for military action and address fears that such a move might draw the U.S. deeper into the Syrian civil war. The White House has not responded directly to Boehners letter seeking more answers about Syria operations and the speakers ofce appeared unsatised after the presidents call Thursday. Only the president can answer these questions, and it is clear that further dialogue and consultation with Congress, as well as communication with the American public, will be needed, Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said. Washington Rep. Adam Smith, senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, cautioned that an attack might be ineffective and might draw the United States into the Syrian civil war, now in its third year. Simply lashing out with military force under the banner of doing something will not secure our interests in Syria, Smith said in a statement. Thursdays brieng for lawmakers was expected to include only unclassied intelligence, meaning that key details that could more clearly link Assad to a chemical attack might not have been part of it. A similar intelligence report is also expected to be released publicly on Friday. Obama continued making his case for a robust response to world leaders, speaking Thursday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Britains Prime Minister David Cameron speaks during a debate on Syria in Britains parliament on Thursday.
U.S. would continue to consult with Britain but Obama would make decisions based on the best interests of the United States. It was not certain the U.S. would have to act alone. France announced that its armed forces have been put in position to respond if President Francois Hollande commits forces to intervention
against Syria. Hollande does not need French parliamentary approval to launch military action that lasts less than four months. Obama discussed the situation in Syria with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who wrote to the president earlier this week seeking a legal justication for a military strike and the objectives of any potential action.
Assad, who has denied using chemical weapons, vowed his country will defend itself against any aggression. Some of the U.N. chemical weapons experts will travel directly from Syria on Saturday to different laboratories around Europe to deliver an extensive amount of material gathered, U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said. While the
mandate of the U.N. team is to determine whether chemical agents were used in the attack, not who was responsible, Haq suggested the evidence which includes biological samples and witness interviews might give an indication of who deployed gases. Obama and other top ofcials have not revealed denitive evidence to back claims that Assad
Speech
From page 1A Leighton to shut down on the holiday. Felton also feels strongly about the Wilkes-Barre Area School District where he says 45 percent of the students are minorities, yet only one percent of the teachers are minorities. This is why we still need to work toward Dr. Kings dream, Felton said. The program, held at the Kings College Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center, was accented with reections by local college students and musical renditions by the Cantores Christi Regis Choir of Kings College and the Mount Zion Choir & aKKord. Rick Wright, a local insurance man, said he was moved by Feltons re-enactment and also by the words of Pastor Sean Walker, also a member of the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board. Hearing those words again gave me chills, Wright said. There is so much going on in the world today and Dr. Kings speech makes us realize we need to continue work together. Walker talked about the struggles, suffering and sacrice that continue today for minorities. He expressed appreciation and gratitude for King and all those who have striven for equal rights for all. But have we forgotten how to dream? Walker asked. If we do not keep moving forward, we will fall backward. Potential means nothing unless you reach it. Walker said in todays world, crime rises as hope falls. Do not accept violence in your neighborhoods, he said. Immorality is degrading our society. Today, be so bold and dare to dream again. After the program, four Kings College students gathered to talk about what they had just heard. Suzana Silva, 20, a junior from Waterbury, Conn.; Ruthly Cadestin, 21, a senior from Union, N.J.; Justine Kelley, 20, a senior from Washington D.C.; and Sarah Holland, 19, a sophomore from Moosic, agreed that the program impressed them. Everybody has a right to equality and equal rights, Kelley said. We can never get too comfortable. Cadestin said the U.S. is a diverse nation with people of different cultures whom all have something to offer. She said many people were raised in homes were bigotry and prejudice were prevalent. Our generation has the opportunity to be the light of the future, she said. Silva said Thursday nights event was the rst time she had ever heard Dr. Kings speech in its entirety. Its really amazing to think what life was like 50 years ago for so many people, she said. Everyone should be treated equally and this program raised the awareness for a lot of people. Holland said its the responsibility of everyone to set a good example and treat each other equally and with respect.
Ron Felton, president of the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of the NAACP, and Rev. Shawn Walker clap for Sarah Holland, a Kings College student who gave her toughts of Dr. Martin Luther King during the 50 Years of An Unforgettable Dream program Thursday night at Kings College.

From page 1A He also played three years with the former WilkesBarre Barons Basketball team in the Eastern Basketball League, according to The Times Leader archives. He went on to become head coach at Southern California, Iowa and Washington State after serving as an assistant at Maryland. Raveling once considered enrolling at Kings College in Wilkes-Barre before deciding Villanova, Times Leader archives note. How did Raveling obtain Dr. Kings speech? National news reports say Raveling while visiting a friend in Wilmington, Del., a few days before Aug. 28, 1963, learned about the forthcoming Civil Rights March in Washington, D.C. Raveling told CBS News that his friends father urged them to attend the march and they went to the Nations Capitol the night of Aug. 27 and met a gentleman, who asked if they wanted to provide security of the event. The next morning, Aug. 28, the day of the march, Raveling and his friend arrived early at the Lincoln Memorial. Raveling was assigned to provide security near the podium where he listened to a few speakers before Dr. King. Raveling told CBS News that Dr. Kings demeanor changed when a woman yelled out, Tell them about the dream. And there it was. Raveling recalled for CBS News that Dr. Kings rhythm changed as he captured the estimated 300,000 in attendance. As Dr. King nished his speech, which did not contain I have a dream, Raveling said he approached the civil rights leader and asked for the copy. The place goes wild and I walk over and I see him fold it and I said to him, Dr. King, can I have the copy? And he handed it to me and that was the end of it. Raveling went on to tell CBS News that the speech was not titled, I Have a Dream. When former President John F. Kennedy invited Dr. King to the White House, the president said to him, I love your I Have a Dream speech, and the media captured this, Raveling told CBS News. News reports say Raveling has been offered $3.5 million for the speech, which is three pages. He has willed it to his children on agreement that it not be sold. The speech belongs to black folks It would be sacrilegious of me to try to sell it or to prot from it, Raveling told CBS on Wednesday.

The compliments, the predictions, the expectations. Come 7 p.m. today, none of them will matter. What will is what LakeLehman does on the eld at Old Forge as the high school football season kicks off. Fourteen Wyoming Valley Conference teams begin their seasons tonight with games scattered throughout the region. The other three WVC squads kick off their seasons tomorrow. One of the most anticipated debuts will be that of the Black Knights, who throughout the years have taken a back seat to the other Back Mountain team Dallas when talk turned to football.
Lehman is the favorite among coaches to capture the WVC Division 2A-A title, something GAR and Wyoming Area has had a stranglehold on in recent years. But with those two programs reeling a bit from graduation and the Black Knights returning a talented bunch, those roles have been reversed. At least on paper. Everybody is pointing at us saying were the team, Lehman coach Jerry Gilsky said. But in our division there are a lot of quality teams. Old Forge resides in Division 3 of the Lackawanna Conference. The Blue Devils, though, could more than hold their own against WVC competition. Since the two con-
ferences began playing each other more regularly in 2008, they are 12-2 against WVC competition. Among those victories was a 50-14 victory over Lehman in the 2012 season opener. Old Forge led 10-7 at halftime, but the wheels few off in every direction for the Black Knights in the third quarter. Last year, i forgot what we were down at half, Gilsky said, but it was a great game. Then we come out in the second half having turnovers. We threw two pick-6s and another interception in the third quarter it was a really lopsided second half. it was like, What the hell happened to us? Did we stay in the locker room? Thats what happened to us the last two times.

He is expected to get more touches tonight. Gilsky, though, was very pleased at his teams performances in scrimmages against Valley View and Riverside, and believes his

team is better both physically and mentally this time around. Old Forge used the running of Brian Tomasetti and passing of Brenden Wahl to take control in last years matchup. Both have graduated and the replacements lack experience. Yet, Lehman is treading cautiously entering
one of the toughest stadiums in which to win. Theyre tough kids and do a good job establishing the run, Gilsky said. We want to take them away from that and force them into passing situations they dont want to be in. its tough playing there. i noticed it my second year.

Scouting Coughlin: The Crusaders intend to throw more, but until seen firsthand well be doubters. This a team built on the running game and has produced 1,000-yard rushers on a regular basis. The top ground gainer back is FB Paul Cole and it wouldnt be a surprise to see him get more carries. The Crusaders, though, dont have the same bulk up front. Scouting Tunkhannock: The Tigers found a good RB last year in then-freshman Ryan Cwynski. They also have a pair of solid, versatile quarterbacks. The key is if Tunkhannock has the horses to build around them. Its been a struggle for whoever has been in charge to get the program to the next level. What To Expect: Coughlins defense gave up a lot of points late last season and with many new faces it will be interesting to see if that trend continues. It should be a close game for awhile until Coughlin pulls away. - John Erzar

NEW YORK Carlos Torres did his best Matt Harvey imitation, carrying a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning for the New York Mets in an 11-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Daniel Murphy had four hits, Eric Young Jr. got three and Anthony Recker added a two-run homer on his 30th birthday as the Mets busted loose for their most runs since beating Washington 11-0 in the rst game of a July 26 doubleheader. Torres (3-2) started in place of Harvey, the AllStar ace diagnosed Monday with a partially torn elbow ligament, and gave the Mets everything they could have hoped for in helping them earn a four-game series split. Three days after making a brief relief appearance, Torres struck out six and walked none in 6 2-3 innings. He yielded four hits and left to a warm ovation from the crowd of 22,008 following Darin Rufs long sacrice y. Philadelphia lost for the 15th time in 18 road games
PITTSBURGH Yovani Gallardo pitched seven sharp innings to beat Pittsburgh once again and Aramis Ramirez homered against his former team as the Milwaukee Brewers downed the Pirates. The Pirates fell one game behind NL Central-leading St. Louis. The Cardinals were idle, and start a threegame series at Pittsburgh on Friday night. Gallardo (10-9) allowed six hits and one walk while striking out ve. He improved his career record against the Pirates to 11-4, including 5-2 at PNC Park.

McCann went deep in the third after Justin Upton kept the inning going with a twoout single. Medlen (11-12) capped a series of dominant pitching by the Braves, who surrendered just three runs in three games. David Carpenter gave up a pinch-hit homer to Lonnie Chisenhall in the eighth, but Craig Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth for his 43rd save in 46 chances.

Suit
From page 1B Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimers disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs lawyer Christopher Seeger. We got what we wanted, lets put it that way, said Seeger, who noted that settlement discussions began more than a year ago. The settlement does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries. Commissioner Roger Goodell told pro footballs lawyers to do the right thing for the game and the men who played it, according to a statement by the league. Goodell was not made available for comment. The NFL takes in revenues of more than $9 billion a year, a gure that will rise when new TV contracts start in 2014. In addition to Dorsett, the plaintiffs include Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia; former running back Kevin Turner, who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrigs disease; and the family of All-Pro selection Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year. Turner, who played for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, predicted that most of his peers would support the settlement. Chances are I wont make it to 50 or 60, said Turner, now 44. I have money now to put back for my children to go to college and for a little something to be there nancially. All former NFL players are eligible to seek care, screening or compensation, whether they suffered a documented concussion or not. The amounts they receive will be based on their age, condition and years of play. They do not need to prove that their health problems are connected to playing football. Players lawyers said they expect the fund to cover the ex-athletes expenses up to age 65. Current players are not covered and, therefore, theoretically could bring their own lawsuits at some point. All of those experts said this would be a 10-year process, but I personally believe both sides did whatever they had to, to help retired players and at the same time, to not change the game of football as we know it, said Craig Mitnick, one of the players lawyers.
Plaintiffs
From page 1B winning the 1976 Heisman Trophy at Pittsburgh. Dorsett is the most accomplished and best-known plaintiff in the mass of lawsuits. Wow, Dorsett said, pausing. Im glad to see this has come to somewhat of an end. But the research obviously is going to be important, the safety of the players is going to be extremely important. Dorsett and Super Bowlwinning quarterback Jim McMahon were among the more than 4,500 former athletes some suffering from dementia, depression or Alzheimers who have sued the NFL since the rst case was led in Philadelphia in 2011. They accused the league of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the eld, while glorifying and proting from the kind of bone-jarring hits that make for spectacular highlight-reel footage. Im shocked that it is settled. Im used to the NFL taking a hard-line approach as they have throughout the years with strikes and everything else, said former offensive tackle Lomas Brown, a seventime Pro Bowler with Detroit, Arizona, Cleveland, the New York Giants and Tampa Bay. Im curious how they came up with the gure and Ive got a lot of questions, but I am happy that its done. Any time the NFL acknowledges they are ready to settle something, it shows they knew they had some sort of negligence. The NFL has insisted that safety has always been a top priority, and in settling the thousands of cases it admitted no wrongdoing. While a trial could have forced the NFL to disclose what it knew, and when, about concussionlinked brain problems, Seeger said the plaintiffs greater concern was a fair settlement and one that would be paid immediately. Had the lawsuits gone to trial, it could have been years before the players saw any money. Years the players might not have. Its a good day, because were getting help for those who need help, said Mark Rypien, the MVP of the 1992 Super Bowl for the Washington Redskins. Already, Pro Bowler Junior Seau and former Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling, one of the rst players to le a lawsuit, have committed suicide. Former Philadelphia Eagles fullback Kevin Turner has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrigs disease, at 44, and fears he might not live to see his 50th birthday. Dorsett nds himself forgetting how to get places hes been going for 30 years, and his 10-year-old daughter now complains that they cant do certain things together because Daddy wont remember how to do it. Football has been my life and football has been kind to me, Dorsett said. But when I signed up for this, I didnt know some of the repercussions.
Former NFL player Kevin Turner accompanied by Lisa McHale, the widow of former NFL player Tom McHale, walk to the U.S. Courthouse on Tuesday, in Philadelphia for a hearing to determine whether the NFL faces years of litigation over concussionrelated brain injuries.

If the settlement holds, the NFL wont have to disclose internal les that might reveal what it knew, and when, about concussion-linked brain problems. I think its more important that the players have nality, that theyre vindicated, and that as soon as the court approves the settlement they can begin to get screening, and those that are injured can get their compensation. I think thats more important than looking at some documents, said lawyer Sol Weiss of Philadelphia, who led the rst lawsuit on behalf of former Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling and a few others. Easterling later committed suicide.

Linebacker depth is thinner while the secondary got reinforcements like Trevor Williams, who moves from receiver to a starting corner. This was not a rash move, Butler said. We discussed it and looked at it for a long period of time, how we could make the roster more efcient. When it came time to do it, we gave him the option and he accepted. He wanted to helped the team and I think that says a lot about him. Williams and fellow sophomore Jordan Lucas are the new starting corners for Butler this year, and Butler is anxious to see them take their rst true test on Saturday. Obviously, Im cautiously optimistic, Butler said. When 80,000 people are watching you play, it is a little different than practice They both are physically the prototype of what we are looking for at that position. They are 6-foot. They have long arms. They have good speed. Theyre physical enough. So, with both of those guys, theyre going to just keep getting better. Id like to say theyre going to play great on Saturday.

Naturally, Bill OBrien kept his same stance and did not name his starting quarterback when he showed up for his weekly radio show in State College on Thurday. But the Lions coach did elaborate a bit on the situation during the program.While both Christian Hackenberg and Tyler Ferguson will play against the Orange, OBrien stressed that it will not be part of a rotation. The starter, he said, will take the majority of snaps in the game. As suspected, OBrien said the quarterbacks both know who will start, as does the team as a whole. The goal, OBrien said, was to minimize the distractions for his young signalcallers during their rst week of preparation and classes for the semester. If I announced a starter, everyone would just be on this guy, OBrien said. Thered be interviews and everything. Lets let this guy concentrate on getting off to a good start academically. That was one of the major parts of the decision. Its not life or death. OBrien did say he is condent that both players can run the offense effectively at any point during the game. Their progress during training camp, he said, has been a pleasant surprise. When you bring new guys in, you dont know what to expect, OBrien said. Its not like the (NFL) draft. When youre recruiting, you talk about football, yeah, but you dont have time to sit down and see all what they know. But Ive been impressed with their knowledge. Now, theyve had their share of mistakes. But at the same time, theyve improved everyday. Were really lucky to have these two kids. And hopefully youll see that on Saturday.

CALGARY, Alberta Canyon Meadows is a hit with the Champions Tour players and theyll have to hit it straight to
have any chance of winning the inaugural Shaw Charity Classic. Canyon Meadows is old style, tree-lined, Mark OMeara said. Better hit it straight just because the pines are there and they hang all the way down to the ground so its going to be very important to be accurate off the tee. If you keep the ball in play you can be a little more aggressive. The 54-hole event begins Friday on the course that opening in 1957.
Its a beautiful course. Its in great shape, Fred Couples said I have no feel on how hard it is yet, but it was hard for me today. I was in the trees a few times. Its a really nice layout. The back nine is kind of fun with three of everything. The par 5s are right there, if you hit a good drive, obviously, for me I can reach most of them, so its a nice layout. Its got some short holes, got a few 470 par 4s that dont play that long but are some good holes.

From page 1B womens matches and shufed the lineups. Among the results from Thursdays full slate: No. 4 seed David Ferrer overcame an error-lled second-set tiebreaker to top Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-2. Second-seeded Victoria Azarenka defeated Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada 6-3, 6-1. Sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki beat Chanelle Scheepers 6-1, 6-2 to open the night session, with No. 2 Rafael Nadal playing the late match. Williams got through her win unscathed, and when she was done in Ashe Stadium, ve-time champion Roger Federer, the seventh seed, dispatched Carlos Berloq 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in 1 hour, 35 minutes. Its one of those matches I expect myself to win if possible in straight sets and gain condence in the process, Federer said. All those things happened, so, yeah, Im pleased about it. American Christina McHale won a three-setter over Elina Svitolina, while another U.S. player, 81stranked Allison Riske, had an easier time in a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Mona Barthel. You never know at these things, Riske said after making the third round of her second straight Grand Slam tournament. Anything can happen. Thats kind of the beauty of tennis in general. Ranking is kind of just a number. Victoria Duval, the 296th-ranked, 17-year-old American who earned her rst victory in a Grand Slam tournament Tuesday, was also in action later. The top U.S. man, No. 13 John Isner, had a late match. He was the last seeded American in the mens draw after No. 26 Sam Querrey lost in four sets to Adrian Mannarino. Another U.S. man, 20-year-old Jack Sock, moved to the third round with a 7-6 (3), 1-6, 7-5, 6-2 win over Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina. Williams was pushed only briey against Voskoboeva, ranked 77th from Kazakhstan. Serving at game point trailing 5-3, Voskoboeva drew Williams to the net, and as Williams reached for the ball, her feet slid out from under her and she fell hard onto her backside, her racket slamming to the ground. Before she fell, however, she reached the shot to win the point. Two points later, she closed out the set. The second set took all of 27 minutes. When it was over, Williams was sitting at the same table where Errani had cried earlier, being asked how she would advise the Italian, who said she was destroyed by the pressure of returning to the French Open this year, where she followed her 2012 appearance in the nal with a run to the seminals. I really wouldnt know what to say, Williams said. I can only say that I think shes doing a good job. I mean, sometimes you have a tough day at the ofce, and it doesnt mean that you dont handle the pressure well. But Errani said she didnt. She is 5-foot-4 with energy to spare, but with loopy, unthreatening groundstrokes and a serve that maxes out at around 85 mph. It has been, even by her account, heart and grit that helped her get to the 2012 French Open nal, then follow that with a trip to the U.S. Open seminal, where she lost 6-1, 6-2 to Williams. Those results, plus a tournament win and three second-place nishes on tour this year, made her the highest-seeded Italian woman ever in a major for this trip to Flushing Meadows.
BOSTON The Boston Marathon will accept an extra 9,000 runners for next years race, making room for the more than 5,000 people stopped on the course this year when two bombs went off and for many of those wanting to run as a tribute to the victims. Registration for the 118th edition of the worlds oldest and most prestigious annual marathon will open Sept. 9, the Boston Athletic Association said. The BAA is aware of the signicantly increased interest in registering for the 2014 Boston Marathon, executive director Tom Grilk said in a statement Thursday. We understand many marathoners and qualiers want to run Boston in 2014, and we appreciate the support and patience that the running community has demonstrated because of the bombings that occurred this past spring. The expanded eld of 36,000 for the April 21, 2014, race would be the second largest in the events history, behind only the 38,708 who registered for the 100th anniversary race in 1996. Organizers have said they are forced to cap the eld size because they have limited space at the start in Hopkinton and on some of the courses Colonial-
era streets. This years eld size was set after talks with the eight cities and towns along the route. Interested runners have been remarkably respectful and cooperative as we worked towards what will be an important day in the history of the race, the sport and the city of Boston, Grilk said. Registration will begin Sept. 9, with the fastest qualiers getting the chance to sign up rst. It will continue through the end of the week and, if space remains, reopen for all qualiers Sept. 16. The 2013 Boston Marathon was shut down at 2:50 p.m. more than four hours into the race when a pair of explosions at the Boylston Street nish line killed three people and injured hundreds more. The 5,624 runners who were stopped on the course were allowed to register early for 2014 this week. A total of 4,722 who had reached the halfway point but not the nish line signed up before the special registration period closed on Thursday, the BAA said. They were required to pay the entry fee $175 for U.S. residents and $225 for international residents but they did not have to run another race at a qualifying time.

WILKES-BARRE After nishing one win shy from capturing the District 2 Class 2A championship, coach Allison Joanlanne and standout player Nathalie Joanlanne return to lead the Wyoming Seminary girls tennis team in hopes of winning a district title. The former Misericordia University mens and womens tennis coach enters her second season with Wyoming Seminary, while reigning District 2 Class 2A singles champion Nathalie Joanlanne returns for her junior year. After the 2011-12 mens and womens tennis seasons, coach Joanlanne stepped down at Misericordia for an opportunity to coach her daughter. Its great, coach Joanlanne said. It allows us to spend more time together, and I think we work well together. Nathalie Joanlanne also is happy with her mothers decision to take the job, because she has taught her everything about the sport since she rst picked up a racket. She brings all of her perspectives when I was little to the team, the junior said. Shes always a little tougher on me but its a good time. In Allison Joanlannes rst year as Wyoming Seminary coach, the Blue Knights went undefeated during the 2012 regular season, but for the fourth straight year lost to Scranton Prep in the district championship match. Nathalie worked hard during the offseason to improve her game and help end Wyoming Seminarys string of losing in the district title match. Shes been improving

on tness, strength, and learning how to use all that strength and power to improve her game all around, coach Joanlanne said. Shes been working on that for a year and I hope it will show. Junior Madison Nardone and sophomores Jacqui Meuser, Alex Cuddy and Megan Obeid also return to bolster the Blue Knights lineup. Were looking to win the district championship, Nathalie Joanlanne said. I think we have a good chance and well be working toward that during the regular season. In order to reach that goal, the Blue Knights will have to win without Anita Ghosh, Wyoming Seminarys second singles starter. The 2013 graduate made it to the District 2 Class 2A singles seminals last season. Shes a great loss for our team, coach Joanlanne said. She was a co-captain and a great leader, so were denitely going to miss her this year. Nathalie Joanlanne said
Ghoshs departure has affected the doubles teams. I think she was a huge loss, Nathalie Joanlanne said. I dont think the singles players are having a problem, but the doubles teams have been thrown off. The Blue Knights doubles teams are what Allison Joanlanne considers the X-factor in Wyoming Seminarys quest for a district championship. I think it comes down to our doubles, coach Joanlanne said. Im trying to get our doubles teams together and improve their games and strategy to get ready for the season. Although the teams journey ended with the loss in districts, Nathalie advanced the Class 2A singles state tournament, where she reached the quarternals. She spent her summer traveling the East Coast to train and play in tournaments to prepare for another run at the state title. I stepped it up from last year and Ive seen improvements, Nathalie Joanlanne said. I want to win states.

TAMPA, Fla. Pat White set up one touchdown with a 66-yard completion and ran 7 yards for another TD to help the Washington Redskins beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Washington (4-0) nished off an unbeaten preseason for the rst time in 28 years. Coach Mike Shanahan rested most of his starters, including Robert Grifn III, who worked out at Raymond James Stadium for about 30 minutes before walking off the eld with Dr. James Andrews. Andrews was in town to examine the quarterbacks surgically repaired right knee. Grifn, whos been practicing without any reported setbacks, participated in the coin toss as a Redskins captain and watched the game from the sideline. He later tweeted he was cleared to play, but Shanahan hedged
CINCINNATI Andy Dalton led the Bengals to a touchdown in his only drive, and Josh Johnson threw for another in his bid to win the backup job and Cincinnati ended the preseason with a victory over Indianapolis. The Bengals (3-1) played most of their starters on offense and defense for one series only. Daltons brief appearance ended in Giovani Bernards 1-yard touchdown run. The Colts (2-2) rested most of their starters, including quarterback Andrew Luck. He and Dalton joked with each other on the eld before the game. Matt Hasselbeck started for Indianapolis and led a 12-play drive to a eld goal against most of the Bengals starters.
Lions 35, Bills 13
Matt Leinart struggled in his debut for quarterback-depleted Buffalo, which closed the preseason with a loss to Detroit. Looking like someone whos had just three days practice, the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner went 3 for 10 for 11 yards and two interceptions before being yanked after ve possessions. That represents a major concern for Buffalo (2-2), which scrambled to sign the 2006 rst-round draft pick Sunday after losing its top two quarterbacks to injury. First-round draft pick EJ Manuel is recovering from a left knee injury, while veteran Kevin Kolb is out inde-
nitely with a concussion. Lions second- and thirdstring quarterbacks Shaun Hill and Kellen Moore threw two touchdown passes each in helping Detroit (3-1) build a 35-3 lead at the half.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Ted Ginn Jr. is showing he has something left to offer Carolina, catching ve passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns to lift the Panthers (3-1)
over Pittsburgh. In a game devoid of star power, Derek Anderson completed 10 of 15 passes for 220 yards, including TD strikes of 87 and 35 yards to Ginn, whos looking to nd a home after being run out of Miami and San Francisco. Rookie quarterback Landry Jones played the entire game for the Steelers (0-4), completing 16 of 35 passes for 189 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

The game was delayed nearly two hours in the fourth quarter by rain. The Gamecocks were already in control by that then. Clowney did not have a sack and finished with three first-half tackles. The Tar Heels fast-paced offense wore him down and forced him to the sideline for several pit stops, yet he and defense mostly hemmed in the Tar Heels fast-paced attack. Shaw and Thompson ended things early as South Carolina led 17-0 in the opening quarter. Shaw found Shaq Roland for a 65-yard touchdown on the games third play. Thompson threw a 29-yard TD to Kane Whitehurst later in the quarter.

IN BRIEF
WASHINGTON Bottles of Tylenol sold in the U.S. will soon bear red warnings alerting users to the potentially fatal risks of taking too much of the popular pain reliever. The unusual step, disclosed by the company that makes Tylenol, comes amid a growing number of lawsuits and pressure from the federal government that could have widespread ramications for a medicine taken by millions of people every day. Johnson & Johnson says the warning will appear on the cap of each new bottle of
drafting long-awaited safety measures that could curtail the use of Tylenol and other acetaminophen products. McNeils Kuffner stands by the companys safety claim: When taken as directed, when people read and follow the label, I believe that Tylenol and the acetaminophen ingredient is one of the safest pain relievers on the market. McNeil is the only major drugmaker adopting the bottle cap warning at this time, according to the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, a trade group for over-the-counter medicine companies.
MARCY GORDON WASHINGTON U.S. banks earned more from April through June than during any quarter on record, aided by a steep drop in losses from bad loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says the banking industry earned $42.2 billion in the second quarter, up 23 percent from the second quarter of 2012. About 54 percent of U.S. banks reported improved earnings from a year earlier. Banks losses on loans tumbled 30.7 percent from a year earlier to $14.2 billion, the lowest in six years. And bank lending increased 1 percent from the rst quarter. Greater lending helps boost consumer and business spending, leading to more jobs and faster economic growth. Still, the report shows that the largest banks continue to drive the industrys prots while smaller institutions have struggled. Banks with assets exceeding $10 billion make up only 1.5 percent of U.S. banks. Yet they accounted for about
The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated. The steep revision was largely because U.S. companies exported more goods and imports declined. The Commerce Department said second-quarter growth was sharply higher than the initial 1.7 percent rate it reported last month. And the growth this spring was more than double the 1.1 percent rate from January through March. The improvement in the trade decit helped offset a weaker government spending. Economists expect growth will stay at an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the second half of the year, helped by steady job gains and less drag from federal spending cuts. Still, some say higher interest rates might restrain the economys expansion in the second half.

82 percent of the industrys earnings in the April-June quarter. Those banks include Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Most have recovered with help from federal bailout money and record-low borrowing rates. Overall, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said the second-quarter results show a continuation of the recovery in the banking industry. One concern is the recent spike in interest rates. Rates have risen since Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated this spring that the Federal Reserve could slow its bond purchases later this year, if the economy continues to show improvement. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates low. Higher interest rates could have mixed impact on banks. On one hand, they make it more expensive for banks to borrow. But they also enable banks to charge more for loans. Its a tricky balance to strike, Gruenberg said at a news conference.
Britains Vodafone PLC, one of the worlds largest cellphone companies, conrmed Thursday that it was talking to Verizon Communications about selling its stake in Verizon Wireless, the No. 1 mobile carrier in the U.S. The U.K. company is mulling its options for its 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless. Verizon Communications owns the other 55 percent. Analysts have suggested that Verizon wants to pay around $100 billion for Vodafones stake, although reports have said that U.K. group is pressing for as much as $130 billion.
CANDICE CHOI and SAM HANANEL NEW YORK Fast-food workers in dozens of U.S. cities walked off the job Thursday in their largest round of protests yet, saying they cannot get by on what they earn and must have higher wages. Similar protests organized by unions and community groups over the past several months have drawn attention to fastfood McJobs, known for low pay and limited prospects. Thursdays effort to stage a nationwide day of protest by thousands of workers reached about 60 cities including New York, Chicago and Detroit, organizers said. But the turnDOW 14,840.95

out varied signicantly, with some targeted restaurants operating relatively normally and others temporarily shutting down because they had too few employees. Advocates for a higher minimum wage note that jobs in low-wage industries have led the economic recovery. That makes it crucial that those jobs pay enough for workers who support families. The restaurant industry says it already operates on thin margins and insists that sharply higher wages would lead to steeper prices for customers and fewer opportunities for job seekers.

and supporters Thursday in a march before the group ooded into a McDonalds near the Empire State Building. Shortly after the demonstration, however, the restaurant seemed to be operating normally, and a few customers said they hadnt heard of the movement. The lack of public awareness illustrates the challenge workers face in building wider support. Participating workers, who are asking for $15 an hour and the right to unionize without interference from employers, still represent a tiny fraction of the industry. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which works out to about $15,000 a year for full-time employees.
Protesters display placards outside a Burger King fast-food restaurant Thursday in Boston. Similar walkouts were staged in dozens of cities to push chains such as McDonalds, Taco Bell and Wendys to pay more to employees.
