Fed, The Fed or FED may refer to:
"Fed" is the eleventh episode of the twentieth season of NBC's long-running legal drama Law & Order.
As election day rapidly approaches, Detectives Lupo and Bernard discover the disfigured remains of a man with the word "FED" written across his bare chest. Missing a crucial piece of evidence, the detectives decide to retrace the steps of the victim, a campaign volunteer. After the victim's perplexing past emerges and the list of suspects multiplies, the detectives find themselves dealing with more than just dirty politics.
Rey Curtis, having recently lost his wife Deborah, has come back to Long Island with his three daughters to bury her beside her parents. Lt. Van Buren receives a call from Curtis inviting her to the funeral. Ill with cancer herself, she was able to make it despite her busy schedule. Curtis, who heard about Van Buren's illness from the police grapevine, commented gravely about her cancer as "just rotten luck all around". He described Deborah's lost battle with multiple sclerosis, how she faced death bravely but was overwhelmed by it in the end. Curtis also tells Van Buren that Deborah died at home in his arms and revealed that he had called his old partner, Lennie Briscoe, just before he died. By the end of the episode, Lt. Van Buren, is doubtful of her own survival.
Fed is the second studio album by American artist Liam Hayes, originally released on December 23, 2002.
The first song to appear from Fed was "No Education". An early version of the song was released as a single in 1997.
Formal recording sessions for the album were started in early 2000 with engineers Bob Weston and Steve Albini contributing to the recording. Weston: "I've been recording this band called Plush, this guy Liam Hayes from Chicago, it's his thing. Liam likes to record in an older style. He bought himself this 1/2" 4-track tape machine, an Ampex 440, that he carts around. I helped him rebuild the thing and made it sound pretty good. So we cart it around and record on location. We recorded at a film sound-stage. We recorded in his practice space. We recorded at this public radio station and on a rooftop in downtown Chicago. Steve Albini has recorded him in a huge theater. The microphone practice is being done in a really minimal style and I try to follow Liam's "Old School" aesthetic. We are doing the basic tracks, guitar, bass, and drums. He is going to do a reduction mix using Ping-pong recording techniques from the 4-track tape onto a 1" 8 track tape machine that Steve Albini has, and do overdubs at Steve's studio.

Found our fingerprints on some choppers
Listenin to the scanner, I hear the Penelope's say
quot;Man uhh, them nigger boys, I can't stand uhh quot;
