CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A judge has ordered Starbucks to pay an additional $2.7 million in lost wages and tax damages to a former regional manager who was earlier awarded more than $25 million after alleging she and other white employees were unfairly punished following the high-profile arrests of two Black men at a store in 2018.In June, Shannon Phillips won $600,000 in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages after a jury in New Jersey found that race was a determinative factor in Phillips’ firing, in violation of federal and state anti-discrimination laws.The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that U.S. district judge Wednesday ordered Starbucks to pay Phillips another $2.73 million in past and future lost earnings and benefits as well as compensation for tax disadvantages due to the lump sum, according to court documents.

Newest Saints lead St. Paul past Indianapolis

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:23:27 GMT

Twins fans attending Sunday’s Saints game at CHS Field might have been disappointed that top prospect Brooks Lee was given the day off. But the two players called up from Double-A Wichita along with him on Aug. 3 put on a show of their own in the Saints’ 7-6 win over the Indianapolis Indians.Outfielder DeShawn Keirsey’s elite athleticism was on display, first by hitting a stand-up triple to center field that jump-started the Saints’ four-run sixth inning. Then, with two runners on and two outs in the eighth and the Saints clinging to their one-run lead, he raced into the left-center gap to pull in a potential extra-base hit.For his part, Yunior Severino, who homered over the batter’s eye in center field on Saturday, hit two more long home runs on Sunday before adding an RBI single in the Saints’ game-changing sixth.Both players — as well as Lee — have been mainstays in the lineup since being called up, and they have not disappointed.“The idea is to get all those guys as much playing...

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE — Back from the abyss he stared out of early in the week, Nick Dunlap channeled the same motivation on the 33rd green of Championship Sunday that he had channeled after his dismal start to U.S. Amateur stroke play.That felt like centuries ago, the Crimson Tide golfer starting the tournament at 5 over par after only seven holes. He had looked unrecognizable Monday. Match play was a much more familiar image of Dunlap. The ninth-ranked amateur stampeded through the field, starting with top-ranked Gordon Sargent and all leading to the 15th hole Sunday at Cherry Hills Country Club. Dunlap only needed a two-putt to clinch the title. To clinch history.“We talked about it all week,” he said afterward, the Havemeyer Trophy glistening at his side.Dunlap, a 19-year-old from Huntsville, Alabama, completed his remarkable turnaround in Denver by becoming the second golfer in history to win both the U.S. Junior Amateur and the U.S. Amateur championships.
