      Federal Reserve Police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
        The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System derives the authority to authorize "personnel as Federal Law Enforcement Officers to protect and safeguard the premises, grounds, property, personnel, including members of the Board, or any Federal Reserve Bank, and operations conducted by or on behalf of the Board or a reserve bank" from Section 11(q) of the Federal Reserve Act, codified at 12 U.S.C.-¬ß-248(q). Prior to designation as Federal Law Enforcement Officers, system protection personnel operated as security or special police officers in their respective states and were almost exclusively regulated to exercising authority on Federal Reserve Property. Following the passage of updated legislation by Congress after 9/11 that designated Federal Law Enforcement Authority to system officers, authority now extends to wherever a Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Officer is performing official duties.

      My Way News - Pa. judge: No expulsion for kindergarten touching
        The case, involving the First Philadelphia Charter School for Literacy, hints at a larger question that looms as the number of charter schools explodes across the country.
        The Philadelphia-based Education Law Center argued that charter schools sometimes seek more leeway in disciplining students using the argument they can always return to a traditional public school.
        "This 'double-standard' view is legally flawed," staff attorney Paul Lapp wrote in a brief filed on behalf of the boy's family. "Charter schools are public schools and are on exactly the same legal footing with respect to the disciplinary sanctions of suspension and expulsion as are 'regular' public schools."

        Monday, the United States dispatched the amphibious assault ship (which is also an aircraft carrier), the "USS Bataan", not far from the Syrian's shores.- Heavy military marine and air traffic was also noted on the Adriatic and Black Sea in the last 3 days.
        Concentrations of such large marine and air forces next to Syria's borders shows that the United States is preparing for the possibility of the invasion of Syria and Lebanon.

Syrian leaders have no excuse for denying humanitarian assistance by a neutral body like the ICRC.- If Syria's leaders fail to provide this access, they will once again be showing contempt for the dignity of the Syrian people.

And if we get information from a press conference in Rome or we get information from somebody passing secondhand, we'll get information from open source on the internet, we'll get Twitter, you name any source of media and our fusion centre will deliver all of that into useable intelligence.
        "The commander will assess what he can use, what he can trust, and the experience of the operators, the intelligence officers, and the trained military personnel and civilian support staff will give him those options. And he will decide if that's good information, I'm going to act on it. Where it comes from, again, it's not relevant to the commander. He will use all that is available to deliver his mission."

        Scientists are also set to report that Ug99 variants are getting progressively virulent are being carried by the winds outside Uganda and other East African countries where they were initially identified in 1999. When they are infected with the deadly fungus, wheat plants become covered in reddish-brown blisters.
        According to a news release delivered by the initiative before the symposium, the fungus has spread across all of eastern and southern Africa, and it might be a matter of time before it gets to India or Pakistan, and even Australia and the Americas.
        "We are facing the prospect of a biological firestorm, but it's also clear that the research community has responded to the threat at top speed, and we are getting results in the form of new varieties that are resistant to rust and appealing to farmers," Ronnie Coffman, who heads the Durable Rust Resistance in Wheat project at Cornell, said in the release.

Prior to designation as Federal Law Enforcement Officers, system protection personnel operated as security or special police officers in their respective states and were almost exclusively regulated to exercising authority on Federal Reserve Property. Following the passage of updated legislation by Congress after 9/11 that designated Federal Law Enforcement Authority to system officers, authority now extends to wherever a Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Officer is performing official duties.

      The Philadelphia-based Education Law Center argued that charter schools sometimes seek more leeway in disciplining students using the argument they can always return to a traditional public school.
      "This 'double-standard' view is legally flawed," staff attorney Paul Lapp wrote in a brief filed on behalf of the boy's family. "Charter schools are public schools and are on exactly the same legal footing with respect to the disciplinary sanctions of suspension and expulsion as are 'regular' public schools."

And he will decide if that's good information, I'm going to act on it. Where it comes from, again, it's not relevant to the commander. He will use all that is available to deliver his mission."
