IMPERIAL, Pa. — A federal court filing in New York shows Pennsylvania-based Dick's Sporting Goods has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit and 22 related state lawsuits brought by current and former employees who say they weren't properly paid overtime and were made to work through breaks.

Dick's, based in Findlay Township, near Pittsburgh, hasn't commented on Friday's filing in a federal court in Rochester, N.Y. The settlement must still be approved by a federal judge there.

Dick's operates more than 400 Dick's Sporting Goods stores in 42 states and 79 Golf Galaxy stores in 29 states.

Workers in New York, Pennsylvania and other states claim the company violated federal wage and hour laws by not paying overtime for working more than 40 hours weekly.

LAS VEGAS — Federal aviation officials are giving airport scanners another try. This time, they are not looking as closely under traveler's clothes.The Transportation Security Administration on Tuesday began testing a new, more modest body scanning system at three airports.They hope it will assuage critics' concerns that the nearly 500 full-body scanners at 78 airports reveal too much.“We believe it addresses the privacy issues that have been raised,” TSA chief John Pistole said at a news conference at Reagan National Airport in Washington, one of the airports testing the technology.The system does not involve new machines. Instead, it relies on new software.The software discards the x-ray-style image that revealed the contours of the traveler's body — the one that left many uncomfortable.Now, there is just a generic image — like the chalk outline of a body at a crime scene.

DETROIT — Americans gave automakers a confidence boost in January. They bought more cars and trucks and showed a still-fragile auto industry that they were ready to replace their clunkers in 2011.Sales of cars and light trucks in the United States rose 17 percent from a year earlier to 819,895. That’s still below the 1 million sold in January 2008, before most people felt the impact of the recession, but better than the last two years, when January sales fell below 700,000.Nearly all big car companies reported double-digit gains for the month, a sign that the slow recovery in U.S. auto sales that began in 2010 remains on track. Car buyers went shopping for just about everything. Sales of recently redesigned SUVS such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer were strong. People also snapped up small cars such as the Nissan Versa and Honda Fit.Pickup sales remained robust, continuing a streak that began last year thanks to growing demand from construction crews.
