...enforcement agencies. Under the statute that commissioned the study, Flynn was required to determine whether Northeastern’s data suggested a pattern of racial profiling in various local police forces. He thus ordered 249 Massachusetts law enforcement agencies to collect additional data for a one-year period, while he excused 117 others...
...Massachusetts police departments; he has insisted neither his decision nor the secretary’s earlier findings draw any conclusions about whether these agencies engage in racial profiling. Reilly has wisely strayed from demonizing the hard work of police departments, and he has said that he thinks the one-year data collection is more of a snapshot of the current situation and an opportunity to prevent a problem from spreading or becoming more prominent. He has not portrayed the data collection effort as the start of a crusade against institutionalized racism ingrained into Massachusetts police departments...
...World Cup victory. (John Hendricks, chairman of Discovery Communications, was so "intoxicated" by the World Cup victory, he persuaded his cable brethren at Comcast, Cox and Time Warner, which owns TIME magazine, to help fund the start-up.)

Phelps' contract with Speedo...
Investors favoring CDs--such as income-seeking retirees--are also celebrating: the rate on a one-year CD now averages 1.52%. But Yeske warns about the beefier figures of longer-term CDs. Yes, the average three-year CD yields 2.83%, but with interest rates likely to continue to climb (the next rate hike is anticipated on Aug. 10), locking in might mean missing a better rate. In the short term, you're not as likely to get caught off guard. So if you plan to buy a car this fall, for example, it's not necessarily bad to hold...
