Suffolk Downs sues Maine track

The Scarborough Downs harness racing track has been sued by Suffolk Downs for allegedly failing to pay nearly $180,000 in simulcast bets placed at the Maine track.

The Portland Press Herald reported that Suffolk Downs filed the breach of contract lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Portland on Monday. Scarborough Downs entered a contract with Suffolk Downs in 2012 so bettors at the tracks could make wagers on races remotely.

Dunkin' Donuts to remove titanium dioxide from powdered doughnuts

Canton-based Dunkin' Donuts will change its powdered doughnut recipe so it no longer includes titanium dioxide, a whitening agent, according to a statement yesterday from a Dunkin' Brands official.

The change comes after an Oakland, Calif.-based environmental advocacy organization, As You Sow, said it found titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the white powdered sugar used in Dunkin's doughnuts based on independent laboratory tests in 2013. The group said the small size of nanomaterials makes it more likely to enter cells, tissues and organs and cause damage.

Titanium dioxide is also used in sunscreen.

Jury: Pharrell, Thicke copied for 'Blurred Lines' song, awards $7.4M

A jury awarded Marvin Gaye's children nearly $7.4 million yesterday after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father's music to create "Blurred Lines," the biggest hit song of 2013.

Gaye's daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was read and was hugged by her attorney.

"Right now, I feel free," she said outside court. "Free from ... Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told."

The verdict could tarnish the legacy of Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy Awards and appears on NBC's music competition show "The Voice."

He and Thicke are "undoubtedly disappointed," said their lead attorney, Howard King. Thicke and Williams earned more than $7 million apiece on the song, according to testimony. King has said a decision in favor of Gaye's heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist's sound.
