Federal Reserve Board

(US GOVERNMENT) one of two governing boards of the US Federal Reserve System (the Usonian Central Bank). The FRB consists of seven governors appointed by the White House to staggered terms of 14 years.

Governor appointments are subject to Senate confirmation.

The FRB sets monetary policy. Its seven members also serve on the other governing board of the Fed, the FOMC. However, the FRB has sole responsibility for discount rates and reserve requirements, and it is also responsible for enforcement of banking regulation.

Despite the fact that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board has the same power as the other six governors, most people have only heard of Alan Greenspan (1987-2006) or Ben Bernanke (2006-present). About the same time, Susan M. Phillips (1991-1998) held approximately equal power on the Board; so did Roger W. Ferguson, Jr. (1997-2006).

Because governors almost never serve their full terms, there are currently only five governors on the board. The two longest-serving members, Bernanke and Vice Chair Donald Kohn, have only been there since August 2002.

Iphone referrer

A person who refers everything and every single thing/ facts/ disputes to his or her Iphone i.e by looking it up in his or her Iphone google or yahoo or any other search programs when he or she is able to do the same thing on his or her PC which has a bigger screen and a lot faster.

At an office:

Sally: babe, my PC's suddenly down. Can you quickly look up the meaning of douchebag on yours?

Stella: Wait a sec, let me look it up in my Iphone through this excellent google apps which other phones also have but mine is more superior because it is on an Iphone.

Sally: But your PC is on and it's right smack in front of you? Can't you just type it in since the keypad's a lot bigger and way easier to type, rather than your stupid small touchscreen which just makes it harder?

Stella: but the google apps looks better and smarter on my Iphone!

Sally: What the...? Nevermind, just look it up. God you are such an Iphone referrer!

Case Western Reserve University

Where a white person will be the minority, and discriminated against by anyone not white.

I was kicked out of a party at Case Western Reserve University because I'm not a brown person.

60 Acre Reserve

A section of Jackson NJ. The adults and teens alike are almost all addicts. Prescription pills are the drug of choice but weed and meth arent too far behind. All are very easy to find. Most kids play basketball while doing drugs or drinking in the park. They also walk to the nearby Wawa or Rite Aid Shopping center where they skate. Most kids go to Liberty HS but some go to the older Memorial.
