Lyrics: Bernie, Casey, Pinkard
Music: Bernie, Casey, Pinkard
Played by Jerry Garcia with the Great American Music Band in 1974. It played as an instrumental except for scat vocals from Taj Mahal and Maria Muldaur. Also recorded by Pigpen and Jorma Kaukonen as an instrumental for an unreleased album.
According to Jim Parker (who was there) Jerry also played and sang the first verse during the first set of a Grateful Dead concert in March 1971 at the Fox Theater in St Louis, before going off in another direction.
Who's that chick in the yellow dress?
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
Well well well well, that's the girl that I love best
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
Who does the hop and the Texas bop like
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
Well, nobody, nobody, nobody else in town
Well, she's got the other chicks on the spot
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
Oh yeah, 'cause she's got somethin' they ain't got
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
When she goes to take a walk
You gotta want to make that girl talk
Georgia claimed her, Georgia lamed her
Sweet Georgia Brown
Who stops the traffic down at 5th and Main?
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
Who drives all the young lads insane?
(Sweet Georgia Brown)
I ain't gonna leave this town
Long as Georgia's hangin' around
Georgia claimed her, Georgia lamed her

Because every LaGrange College Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate in the past four years has passed the national licensing exam on the first try—a feat almost unheard of at colleges and universities—this year's class had an intense motivation to succeed, says Hannah Reeves Lancaster '13.
"I just finished taking the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses), and the whole time I had it in my mind that I didn't want to be the one to break the nursing program's success streak," she says. "The nursing program is very intense here and there's pressure to succeed, but you can get through it because the nursing professors are so helpful and caring and prepare us for it."
Hannah says her nursing peers also were a support system.
"It's so rigorous that no one on else on campus really sees us; we rely on and help each other, and we're like a family," she says. "The professors are amazing, too. They have an open-door policy and will help you get through anything, whether it's nursing-related or something personal. They are so supportive and encouraging, and many of them even give you their cell phone numbers so you can reach them. They love helping us, and it's not just an obligation to them. They want to see us succeed."
From Bremen, Hannah spent her first year of college at Harding University in Arkansas, hoping to forge her own path.
"I love the people I grew up with and have very deep relationships," she says, "but I was ready to meet new people and have my own life and make an 'in' for myself somewhere else."
She grew homesick for family and friends, in part due to the long drive, and came back to Georgia the next year looking for a nursing school a little closer to home.
"LaGrange was perfect because it was just far enough away where I could get home if I needed to yet still make my own way in college, and I also was drawn to it because of the 100 percent passing rates on the NCLEX for nursing graduates the past several years," she said.
Hannah received the Sims Scholarship from nearby West Georgia Health to pay for her tuition and books in the nursing program. Funded by Fuller E. Callaway Foundation, the Sims Scholarship is given to nursing students in the area in exchange for their working at West Georgia Health for one to two years after they graduate, depending on the duration of their scholarship.
Hannah is now working as a registered nurse in the endoscopy and outpatient surgery departments. She commutes from Fairburn, where she lives with her husband, Zach.
Hannah and Zach have a heart for mission work and have made trips to Mexico and Kenya.
"I love the mission field, especially medical missions," she says. "I love helping and serving people, which is why I think I was so drawn to the nursing field."
She said their summer spent in Kenya in 2010 was especially life-changing.
"We spent five weeks as children's camp counselors, sharing the story of Jesus with them," she said. "We also worked with and got to know members of the Masai tribe."
In addition, the couple helped build gutters on the sides of a church so its members could gather rainwater, built a greenhouse for the Masai tribe, went on safari and rafted the Nile.
"Some people's situations are sad to see in other countries, but that's a huge reason to go back," she says. "Next time, I will really be able to put my nursing skills to use."

i-City is the latest tourist spot in Shah Alam, Selangor. Dubbed the City of Digital Lights, it is reputed to be the first lightscape tourist destination in Malaysia.
Showcasing state-of-the-art LED technology, i-City is an exciting and fascinating place to visit, especially during festive seasons such as Chinese New Year. The combination of the LED lights technology and traditional element presents a strong selling point for i-City.
As visitors stroll around the colourful forest that resembles a four-season park, they get to see dozens of wonderful sculptures. Besides that, many beautiful red and yellow lanterns can also be seen. The sculptures and themes, as well as the lighting decoration in i-City are changed periodically. Hence, there will always be something new for visitors to see and enjoy.
With beautiful scenery and unique display of dazzling digital lights, it is not a surprise that i-City is a haven for shutterbugs. It also provides a beautiful setting for wedding photography.
With numerous bulbs lighting up i-City nightly, some people might be concerned about their effect on the environment. i-City is quick to assure that the digital lights with total power consumption equivalent to about 4 shop lots, are environmentally friendly.
i-City has hosted various large-scale events and programmes, such as Malaysia's Independence Day Celebration on 31 August and the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the 2010 World Cup, i-City also screened the matches live from Johannesburg on its 6.5m x 8.5m video wall, the largest video screen in Southeast Asia.
night time at i-city
i-City is "open" 24 hours a day as it has been approved as a technopreneur campus, where cosmopolitan lifestyle outlets can operate on a 24-hour basis. Under this concept, i-City will be a "gated but open" zone where security, traffic management, landscaping, rubbish management and other township services will be the responsibility of i-City. This is in recognition of i-City as a night tourist destination and a knowledge hub.
Getting There
From PJ/KL, use the Federal Highway heading towards Shah Alam. Exit at the Batu Tiga Toll Station. Look for the BP gas station, and then turn left at the UiTM/i-City signage. Drive onwards till you reach the traffic lights and turn right. Drive on the left lane until you see Shell gas station and KFC. Turn left before the traffic lights. Go straight again and when you see a chrome ball turn left, and you will be able to see i-City.
KTM Komuter:
Take the KTM Komuter to Batu Tiga Komuter Station. From there, take a bus or taxi to i-City.

If sunshine is the aim then Dale on the far west coast of Pembrokeshire is the place to be. This charming little seaside village, sheltering inside the northern entrance to Milford Haven harbour has the enviable record of enjoying more sunshine hours than most other resorts in the UK.
The village is in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park whose 180-mile long Coastal Footpath passes through, and it is a busy centre for sailing with suitable conditions for windsurfing, which is taught in the bay. The beach is wide and shingly with areas of sand and a fine view up the Haven waterway towards Milford Haven, Pembroke and Pembroke Dock. It is safe and sheltered and ideal for picnics and sunbathing and presents a great grandstand for the regular spectacle of sailing races in the Haven.
One of Dale's main claims to fame is that it was the chosen landing-place of Henry Tudor when he returned from exile to win victory over Richard 111 at the battle of Bosworth in 1485. He landed at Mill Bay and described the climb up the cliff as "brunt" - an old English word for "rough and challenging" - and the farm above the bay is still known as Brunt. At nearby Mullock Bridge, Sir Rhys ap Thomas, a Welsh nobleman who had sworn that Henry would only take the throne "over his bellie", changed his mind and, in order to keep his oath and support the would-be monarch, hid under the bridge while Henry rode over it. Villagers still mark the anniversary of Henry's landing and in 1955 they had cause for a dual celebration as another Royal visitor bathed at Mill Bay - Prince Charles as a toddler during his parents' first Royal visit to the county.
Dale has a 13th century castle and was once controlled by the Norman De Vale family but its name suggests earlier occupation by the Vikings. It also has two Victorian forts, built at a time when Napoleon 3rd appeared to be a threat. Dale Fort on the promontory overlooking the Haven, has been a Field Studies Centre since 1947 while West Blockhouse to the south now houses a navigation aid for shipping using the oil port. Near Dale fort is an early iron age fort.
The village has good cause to remember the Sea Empress disaster of February 1996 when the supertanker grounded at the harbour entrance spilling 72,000 tons of crude oil. Thankfully, the area recovered quickly. The first woman to cross the Atlantic single-handed, 28-years-old Nicolette Milnes-Walker, set sail from Dale in June 1971, arriving at Newport, USA, on July 26th, a proud record for the village.
Dale is a favourite of 'twitchers' with a variety of birds to tick their boxes with. Pickleridge, beside the road just outside the village, is a series of lagoons left by contractors excavating sand and shingle to build the several World War Two airfields scattered around the county. Now it is a haven for wildfowl of all kinds.

Students Activities
The accent of student life and activities on the campus is to provide an invigorating and creative environment which promotes independent thinking and introspection and leads the young students to become more aware of the consequence of their own actions. This allows them to weave a pattern of life which equips them to stand up to the many pressures of community living, to train them in the making of inferences in everyday situations, to help them derive more insight into their personal relationships and to arouse in them a sensibility of aesthetic experience.
Excellent facilities for the residence to a large number of students, co-curricular activities, sports and games, recreation, shopping, etc. have been provided to the students on campus. Special efforts are made to promote student-teacher interaction. Counselling Service has been set up to assist students in their initial adjustment, as well as in any difficulties, they may have during their stay at the Institute.
The Students' Activity Centre is the nerve centre of all student activities on the campus. With a moat on one side and a high stone-wall on the other, the Students' Activity Centre recalls to the visitors memories of an ancient fort. The Centre comprising a Club Building, Gymnasium Hall, Swimming Pool, Amphitheatre, Music Rooms, Hobbies Workshop and a large Dark Room, caters to various hobbies of the students. They have a place to paint, to sculpt or to tinker with the radio. There are committee rooms where they can hold formal or informal meetings and a large marble-floored hall for exhibitions. On the first floor of the Centre, students have facility to play billiards.

Grooveshark Wants To Judge Your Soul
from the judgement-day dept
Dante Cullari made an observation on the Music Think Tank Open blog last month that seems to have gone unnoticed: Grooveshark's privacy policy has a "soul" clause. Unlike other "immortal soul" clauses, I don't think Grooveshark's is intentional.
"This [personally identifiable] information may also be kept longer than 6 months by EMG if a user is found by EMG's soul judgment to be suspect of carrying out illegal, unlawful, or dangerous actions with or in this service. Prior to keeping IP address information for more than 6 months, the user will be notified via email about their suspect status."
The privacy policy still says that, though Dante also grabbed a screenshot.
Somehow, I don't think Grooveshark actually intends to judge a person's immaterial soul for evidence of suspicious activity. But, lest you think it's a lone typo, the phrase "soul purpose" also appears later in the policy.
"EMG may allow 3d parties to place cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons, clear GIFs, web bugs, tracking pixels on the Site for the soul purpose of allowing that 3d party to record that a User has visited the Site and/or used the Service."
I think they meant "sole." Somewhere, in the depths of my own soul, it feels like somebody was relying on spell check a bit too much...

Cops: Man shot outside Hempstead store
A man was shot in the hip Friday night outside a Hempstead liquor store, police said.
The injury to the man, a store customer, was not considered life-threatening, police said. He was taken to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow for treatment.
An altercation took place inside the liquor store at 63 Main St., about 7:15 p.m., police said.
"Whatever happened inside, spilled outside and he was shot," Hempstead Village Police Lt. James Hayman said.
A group of men ran from the scene after the shooting, he said.
Hempstead Village police and Nassau County police detectives were investigating.

Is a sufficient backup plan in place for trading glitches?
On Tuesday, April 8, CME's electronic trading shut down mid-afternoon. The closing numbers had to rely solely on the pit floor. Traders dusted off their jackets and headed to the pits, which resulted in some pits being busier than they had been in years.
During the 1990s, electronic futures trading launched, causing a dramatic shift in how trading is done. Today, the vast majority (more than 80%) of trading through the CME, which merged with the Chicago Board of Trade in 2007, is done electronically.
So, what happens when the computers go down? Does the board have a good backup plan? "No," says Peter Meyer, senior director of agricultural commodities with PIRA Energy Group.
"A lot of the floor traders aren't in close proximity to the floor," he says. "It used to be that everybody, including myself, used to sit at 141 W Jackson. So, if you had a problem you could run now. Now they are scattered across Chicago."
"The whole premise behind electronic trading was to totally level the playing field," he says. "If you're going to have a level playing field and you have a glitch, you should stop everything across the board, that's my opinion."

Living room in the home of Susan Jaksich.
Scott McKeen, Edmonton Journal · Dec. 10, 2012 | Last Updated: Dec. 10, 2012 1:04 PM ET
If Susan Jaksich wore a mood ring, it would shine, shine, shine.
Susan is all energy and optimism. She smiles constantly. Talks quickly. Laughs big.
You can't fake this stuff. Salesmen and servers the world over try to imitate this energy. But you either have the happy-joy gene, or you don't.
This night, I don't. The icy road to Lago Lindo is a rage parade. I live downtown. Susan's place is north of 167th Avenue. Enough time in rush-hour gridlock to recite the Serenity Prayer, like, a gazillion times.
The blast of Susan's happy-joy at the door soothes my traffic twitches. We sit down. Susan first wants to explain why she moved from St. Albert to north Edmonton.
Note: People who live north of downtown often feel like they should explain why. As a northside boy, I get it. But Lago Lindo, like most communities in the north, is clean, neat and quiet.
More important to Susan, though, is that her sister and her parents live in the neighbourhood.
Family - that's why she lives here.
Susan's place is imbued with a sense of history and Old World charm. Though born here, Susan is Serbian Canadian. Her family moved back to the old country when she was two, then returned when she was 18.
As a young adult she learned English by listening obsessively and then working tirelessly to soften her accent.
She and her father renovated her Lago Lindo home from top to bottom. Susan jokes that a toilet and fixtures in one bathroom are all that's left of the original.
One of the first things changed was the front door. The original was offset - almost like a side door at the front. Now it faces the street properly. Better curb appeal, says Susan.
The term "curb appeal" is a hint at Susan's vocation. She is a real estate agent and works with her sister in a successful partnership. So successful that Susan was a keynote speaker at an international realty convention in Spain.
Susan's dining room and living room are formal, almost like set pieces. But she insists the fine furniture is regularly used, though the kitchen and its large granite-top island overlooking the sunken living room is the home's most popular gathering place.
On the same level as the living room is Susan's office. Downstairs is a TV room and a den-sized closet for Susan's shoes, hats and gowns. Note: She has four closets in all. One is just for "costumes."
Upstairs is the master bedroom. Susan looks abashed. Her bedside tables are in transit, she says, so her lamps are sitting atop boxes. Those boxes, though, are so well covered in some kind of frou-frou fabric, I didn't notice.
But camouflage and details are Susan's specialty.
For example, the gorgeous glass-tile backsplash in the kitchen was in fact so gorgeous that Susan couldn't allow it to be marred by light switches and electrical outlets. So she had them hidden underneath the cabinets.
Her detail obsession didn't end there. Each and every light switch, heat vent and electrical outlet in the house - as well as all door trim - is painted the same colour as the walls. One light switch in particular, on the living room's stone feature wall, is damn near invisible.
OK, but what if I really need to go in the middle of the night and, stumbling to the bathroom, I can't find a light switch? This could be bad, no?
Susan waves off such concerns. Switches and outlets, she says, are distracting to the eye.
"I'm very particular," she says. "I just can't cut corners. I drive my dad crazy with this stuff."
But her plan, she says, was to create an uncluttered canvas in earth-tone paint and furnishings, then splash a little "bling" here and there. The bling draws the eye to where you want it to go, she says.
Good point. Especially coming from a woman who is wearing a leopard-print dress with matching slippers.
Mind you, not even leopard print draws the eye away from Susan, whose smile and laughter are always centre stage. I have to ask her: Do you wake up feeling like this?
"Not quite as chipper," she says. "But then I have some Serbian coffee and I'm good."
Serbian coffee, eh? Try that first. Then paint the light switches.

This N.C. teacher has a personalized handshake for every one of his students
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Most teachers start their day off with attendance, but a local teacher has found his own unique way to connect with students before they enter Room 219.
Barry White Jr. teaches fifth-grade literacy at Ashley Park PreK-8 School.
The Title I school encourages teachers to find creative ways to engage with students. But before White incorporates "vocabulary shootout" and shoe-tapping songs into his curriculum, he tries to connect with each of his students.
"The most critical component is the relationship, the rapport you build with your students because sometimes it can go underrated or overlooked," White says. "Before I'm able to deliver a substantial amount of content to them, they have to invest in the teacher."
White says he wants his students to be excited about school. In an effort to bring joy and build trust, he said he began creating individual handshakes with students.
The idea came to the Cleveland Cavalier's fan when he noticed Lebron James doing handshakes with his inner-circle. White decided it would be a fun idea to bring to the classroom.
He first tried a special handshake with a student in another class.
"She would come see me before she went to class and sometimes she would get in trouble because she would wait to get the handshake," White said. "Once I saw how simple, but how powerful it was to her, I thought it would be so cool to have for an entire class."
It was a slam dunk. White says once the handshakes started, they became contagious.
"I said 'Okay, if I can do 20, I can do 20 more I guess," White said.
Today, White not only has a personalized handshake for every single one of his students in each of his three classes, he also has handshakes with volunteers, fellow educators, and students in other grades.
"That's how he hypes our day up," said White's fifth-grade student Denise Hart.
The creation of the handshake itself is one of the ways the literacy teacher and student bond. White says the student comes up with a piece and then they fine tune it together. The fifth-grade teacher was part of founding the school's step club, which is a form of percussion dance. He says students in the club like to incorporate steps as their unique piece.
"We collect and collaborate and come up with it together, so a lot of it is based on who they are," White said. "That's what I love, they came up with it so it's really personalized to their personalities."
The process of remembering the handshake also builds the connection. White says it's all about muscle memory. The handshake needs to be done a couple of times to remember.
In the end, the handshake comes down to one thing: joy.
"I'm all about bringing joy to people's lives and inspiring others to do so," White says. "That's really why I do (the handshakes), to bring joy to them."
While spreading joy to students, White has been touched that the handshakes have inspired fellow educators. He has heard from current, up and coming and past educators about re-lighting their fire.
"That really makes my day when I get messages about how I inspired other adults," White said. "I'm all about bringing joy to people's lives and inspiring others to do so, hopefully, everybody can start doing it in their classroom."

You can find America's new antiwar movement in a bright yellow room four floors above the traffic of West 57th Street -- a room so small that its occupant burns himself on the heat pipe when he turns over in bed and can commute to his office without touching the floor. Eli Pariser, 22, tall, bearded, spends long hours every day at his desk hunched over a laptop, plotting strategy and directing the electronic traffic of an instantaneous movement that was partly assembled in his computer. During the past three months it has gathered the numbers that took three years to build during Vietnam. It may be the fastest-growing protest movement in American history.
On the day after Sept. 11, Pariser, who was living outside Boston at the time, sent an e-mail message to a group of friends that urged them to contact elected officials and to advocate a restrained response to the terror attacks -- a police action in the framework of international law. War, Pariser believed, was the wrong answer; it would only slaughter more innocents and create more terrorists. Friends passed his letter on to more friends, it replicated exponentially, as things tend to do on the Internet, and Pariser woke one morning to find 300 e-mail messages in his in-box. A journalist called him from Romania. ''I've received this from five different people,'' he said. ''Who are you?''
Almost simultaneously, a recent University of Chicago graduate named David Pickering was posting a petition with a similar message on a campus Web site. By Sept. 14, Pickering's petition had 1,000 signatures. On Sept. 15 it reached Pariser, who got in touch with Pickering and proposed that they join forces, with Pickering's petition posted on a Web site that Pariser set up as a conduit for responses to his own e-mail. They called it 9-11peace.org. On Sept. 18, 120,000 people from 190 countries signed the petition. By then, the server was beginning to crash.
By Oct. 9, when Pariser finally lugged four copies of the petition to his local post office -- one each for George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Kofi Annan and the secretary general of NATO -- it was more than 3,000 pages long, with more than half a million signatures. There was no response from the White House, which had already begun the war in Afghanistan. But Pariser had happened upon an organizing tool of dazzling power. ''It was word of mouth,'' he says. ''This is why this system of organizing works.''
In the fall of 2001 the idea of a measured response to the attacks along the lines of a criminal-justice model was a distinctly minority view. Only one member of Congress, Barbara Lee of California, voted against the war resolution. The petition created a network for the war's isolated and beleaguered opponents that let them know they were not alone as history rolled over them.
A little more than a year later, the pressure of a war with Iraq has turned the underground spring into a genuine social convulsion. At the end of 2001, Pariser was appoached by another dot-org that had been watching the heavy traffic on his Web site -- a group called moveon.org, started in Berkeley in 1998 by married software entrepreneurs, Wes Boyd and Joan Blades, to stop the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Pariser joined them as a consultant and merged the two sites. Last fall moveon.org caught the growing wave of antiwar feeling and its membership doubled, so that it now counts almost 1.3 million worldwide and 900,000 in this country. Moveon.org became known as the mainstream of the growing movement, joining a larger coalition called Win Without War, whose name seems expressly designed to ward off any charges of anti-Americanism.
Moveon.org organized meetings around the country between members and politicians, calling for tough inspections as a rational alternative to war, and its influence began to be felt in Congress. Its Political Action Committee raised more than $700,000 for Paul Wellstone's re-election last October after the Minnesota senator voted against the Iraq war resolution, and when Wellstone died in a plane crash, moveon.org used its database to raise $200,000 for his replacement on the ballot, Walter Mondale, in just two hours.
All this electronic activity went largely unnoticed by the press. The nationwide antiwar rallies on Oct. 26 and Jan. 15 were dominated by far more radical groups, like International Answer, that had gotten out in front of the protest movement, turning out a core of of activists under the perennial anti-American slogans. But as fall turned to winter and the threat of war frayed nerves across the country, moveon.org formed a tactical alliance with the radical groups, with which it had nothing in common other than opposition to war in Iraq. ''We've changed the way that we do organizing in the last eight months,'' Pariser told me. ''One of the things is to move past e-mailing and phone calls and get people back out on the street and use the Internet as a backbone for catalyzing that.''
Last November, at the European Social Forum in Rome, antiwar groups chose Feb. 15 as a day of continent-wide protest. The American wing of the movement learned of the plan through e-mail from European antiwar groups like Stop the War Coalition and Attac France. United for Peace and Justice decided to sign on in December, though organizing here only started on Jan. 9, a mere five weeks before the date set for the demonstrations. To anyone who hadn't been paying attention -- not least, those in the mainstream media -- the hundreds of thousands who braved the cold near the United Nations on Feb. 15, and the several million more around the world, came as a revelation.
But popularity has a history of killing American protest movements. When history refuses to bend to their will, frustration leads the majority to drift away, while grouplets in the vanguard grow more extreme in their ideas and their tactics. On the left in particular, from the Popular Front of the 1930's to the antiwar mobilization of the 60's, mass movements have a way of self-destructing in factional fights just when they've begun to acquire a national following. These are old ghosts, and 22 is young for anyone to have to figure them out.
When Pariser had his 90 seconds onstage at the Feb. 15 rally, he seemed to literally bounce on his toes in the frigid air, unable not to smile. ''For each person who's here, there are a hundred who weren't able to make it,'' he told the throng that filled First Avenue from 51st to 72nd Street. ''I know -- I get e-mail from them. They're ordinary, patriotic, mainstream Americans.''
Eli Pariser seems to exist so that patriotic, mainstream, duct-tape-buying Americans can't dismiss the antiwar movement as a fringe phenomenon of graying pacifists and young nihilists. He has a copy of the Constitution on his bookshelf. He says things like, ''It's not the internet that's cool -- it's what it allows people to do.'' He is unfailingly polite and thoughtful, careful to acknowledge what he doesn't yet know, and only the way he holds his face away and fixes you with a sidelong look as he speaks, a gleam of challenge in his eyes, tells you that this is an ambitious and slightly cagey young man.
Pariser says that when he was 5 he picketed in his own driveway in rural Maine with a sign that said, ''Nature's great -- don't take it away.'' He descends on his father's side from Zionist Jews who helped found Tel Aviv, and on his mother's from Polish socialists. His parents, co-founders of an alternative school and amicably divorced when Pariser was 7, were Vietnam protesters. But an interesting generational split inverts the 60's order of things: the son is less rebellious, less estranged from his country, than the parents. His mother used to argue with him to do less homework, and after Sept. 11 his parents couldn't understand why Pariser insisted on calling himself a patriot.
In 2000, after graduating from Simon's Rock College in western Massachusetts, Pariser and a handful of friends toured the country for three months in a renovated school bus, recording the stories of ordinary people in order to find out what makes Americans tick politically. The idea was yet another Web project (americanstory.org -- it hasn't happened yet), but the effect on Pariser was much larger: in the midst of a national campaign that left most people bored and disenchanted, he found that opinion polls and political rhetoric didn't come close to doing justice to Americans' beliefs. ''There's all this gloss and spin and whatever, and then there's actually what people think,'' he told me. ''Even when we talked to people who are racists, pro-gun folks, I couldn't make myself dislike them just because of their political views.''
Internet democracy solves the problem of how to focus political activity in a vast country of extremely busy and distracted citizens, because what keeps so many Americans busy and distracted these days is the Internet. In late February, my in-box received a forwarded message
with the subject line ''Virtual March: Heading to 200,000. Send faxa5646u63431t0.'' The ''Virtual March on Washington'' was a campaign that Pariser and moveon.org held on Feb. 26: more than 1 million Americans around the country, moveon.org reports, flooded the Washington offices of their elected officials with antiwar messages, timed by electronic coordination so that phone lines wouldn't jam up. Internet democracy allows citizens to find one another directly, without phone trees or meetings of chapter organizations, and it amplifies their voices in the electronic storms or ''smart mobs'' (masses summoned electronically) that it seems able to generate in a few hours. With cellphones and instant messaging, the time frame of protest might soon be the nanosecond.
Dot-org politics represents the latest manifestation of a recurrent American faith that there is something inherently good in the vox populi. Democracy is at its purest and best when the largest number of voices are heard, and every institution that comes between the people and their government -- the press, the political pros, the fund-raisers -- taints the process. ''If money is what it takes to get attention, we'll do that,'' Pariser says. ''But we'll do it the grassroots way.''
Pariser says that he and other organizers are less political propagandists than ''facilitators'' who ''help people to do what they want to do.'' Even the structure of moveon.org -- more than a million members and only four paid staff members -- embodies the idea that a simple and direct line connects scattered individuals and the expression of their political will. With an interactive feature on the Web site called the Action Forum, members regularly make suggestions and respond to the staff's and one another's ideas. Automated reports are generated by the server every week, moveon.org's staff looks at the top-rated comments -- and somehow, out of this nonstop frenzy of digital activity, a decision gets made. And, in a sense, no one makes it. Dot-org politics confirms what Tocqueville noticed over a century and a half ago: that Americans, for all our vaunted individualism, tend to dissolve in a tide of mass opinion.
Behind the stage at the Feb. 15 rally, Pariser made a point of introducing himself to Dennis Kucinich, the boyish-looking Democratic congressman from Cleveland who is running for president on an antiwar platform. Kucinich has followed Pariser's rise, and he declared: ''Eli has proven we're in a new era of grass-roots activism. The basis for human unity is not just electronic -- the human unity precedes the electronic, and then is furthered by it. Eli represents 'the advancing tide,' which Emerson said 'creates for itself a condition of its own. And the question and the answer are one.' ''
The spirit of Emerson was on First Avenue, and it hovers over the new antiwar movement as it has infused so much protest politics in American history. There is a very old American type of protester -- think of Emerson's friend Thoreau, or of John Brown -- who sees politics as an expression of personal morality.
Part of the success of the Feb. 15 demonstrations, and of the movement itself, lies in the simplicity of the message. L.A. Kauffman, a staff organizer at United for Peace and Justice, the coalition of more than 200 organizations that endorsed the rally, designed leaflets and banners reading ''The world says no to war.'' The slogan says nothing about oil, or inspections, or Israel -- or Saddam. ''It's not a paragraph of analysis,'' she points out. ''It's not a lengthy series of demands.'' The simplicity allows groups that have nothing else in common politically -- that might even be opponents -- to work together.
Leslie Cagan, a founder of United for Peace and Justice (which is only fourmonths old) and a veteran antiwar activist, says that in 1991, during the gulf war, the ideological infighting was much more bruising. The attitude in this movement, for now, is to submerge political disagreement. ''We all see what a nightmare this war would be,'' she says. ''That's bigger than any of the differences between us.''
When a group like International Answer -- whose leader, Ramsey Clark, has defended many of the world's dictators, including Saddam -- calls for a day of protest on March 15, United for Peace and Justice doesn't base its decision about whether to join based on the politics of the original sponsor. A leader of the most mainstream coalition in the movement, Win Without War, of which moveon.org is a part, is urging members to participate in the Answer demonstration.
This strategy of openness is unquestionably the best way to increase numbers in the short run. But it has its perils, and inevitably it forces ideological choices even when the movement seeks to avoid them. In the planning for Feb. 15, for example, a Bay Area coalition of groups refused to include Michael Lerner, a rabbi and editor of Tikkun magazine, among the speakers because he had publicly criticized one of the groups, International Answer, for its anti-Israel views. The coalition's policy was to exclude anyone who had attacked a member group -- which meant that the peace movement had to choose between Lerner and Answer.
The night before Feb. 15, at the midtown offices of a labor union where rally leaders were making last-minute preparations, Bob Wing of United for Peace and Justice told me: ''Anti-Semitism is not tolerable. I don't think it's a huge problem, but it is a problem and something to be aware of. But we're not talking about thought control -- we're talking about making this as big as we can.'' When I asked Leslie Cagan whether pro-Saddam speakers would have been allowed on stage, she said, ''We try not to edit them.'' Pariser put it this way: ''I've always been a real believer that the best ideas win out if you let them happen. I'm personally against defending Slobodan Milosevic and calling North Korea a socialist heaven, but it's just not relevant right now.''
The strongest tendency at the Feb. 15 rally (and in the movement generally) was not anti-Americanism or antiglobalism or pro-Arabism; it was simply a sense that war does more harm than good. A young woman from Def Poetry Jam shouted: ''We send our love to poets in Iraq and Palestine. Stay safe!'' The notion that there is little safety in Iraq and, strictly speaking, there are no poets -- that the Iraqi people, while not welcoming the threat of bombs, might be realistic enough to accept a war as their only hope of liberation from tyranny -- was unthinkable. The protesters saw themselves as defending Iraqis from the terrible fate that the U.S. was preparing to inflict on them. This assumption is based on moral innocence -- on an inability to imagine the horror in which Iraqis live, and a desire for all good things to go together. War is evil, therefore prevention of war must be good. The wars fought for human rights in our own time -- in Bosnia and Kosovo -- have not registered with Pariser's generation. When I asked Pariser whether the views of Iraqis themselves should be taken into account, he said, ''I don't think that first and foremost this is about them as much as it's about us and how we act in the world.''
For now, clarity and a sense of righteousness have created the most potent American protest movement in a generation. What isn't clear is how the new movement will sustain itself once a war begins. Ask movement organizers about their planning for the next few crucial weeks, with a war seemingly imminent, and the answers are very vague. ''We don't think a month in advance,'' Pariser says. ''We can capture the energy of the moment better at the moment'' -- a notion echoed by Wes Boyd, who explains that moveon.org's great strength is flexibility and speed, not ''scenario-planning.'' L.A. Kauffman of United for Peace and Justice says, ''If war does break out, you are going to see a global day of action like you've never seen.'' Pariser and other coalition leaders stay in touch with their European counterparts, e-mailing every few days, but for now the movement seems to be trying to catch up with its own success. Other than the demonstration planned for March 15, no mass mobilization was scheduled as of last week.
After an invasion, moveon.org's Wes Boyd believes the movement may become more polarized. Perhaps groups like ANSWER will continue to oppose American foreign policy in its totality, while moveon.org's membership will turn its fund-raising power to Democratic presidential politics. A number of potential Democratic antiwar candidates have started to emerge, including Kucinich, Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont, former Senator Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois and the Rev. Al Sharpton. While Pariser is too cautious to declare any political ambitions of his own, the party would be foolish not to pursue a young activist with his talents.
In the yellow room on West 57th Street, Pariser's bookcase is heavy with fiction that tends toward large, bleak visions: Orwell's ''1984,'' DeLillo's ''Underworld,'' David Foster Wallace's ''Infinite Jest.'' The literature seems out of tune with Pariser's optimism about democracy and his own temperament. Pariser says he read them to experience bleakness vicariously ''because my life was good. It was a way of kind of seeing what it's like to not be happy. There's a part of me that's drawn to kind of big stories, sort of epicness -- this sense of this sweeping narrative. If I want to get an instant adrenaline rush, that's the way that I do it -- thinking about my work now: this is huge, we've got so many people and there's such big stakes.''

text: Okay, I've been reading a lot about complexity theory (aka chaos theory) lately, and I think some of the mathematical models could be useful in cryptography. For example, the Lorenz Attractor can be graphed in three dimensions as an endless string that never intersects itself. Couldn't that be useful for key creation if someone took the coordinates and ran them through some kind of modular function?

CHRISTOPHER MORGAN AND SHARON TAKVAM, Appellants,
HSBC BANK USA, NA, Appellee.
No. 2009-CA-000597-MR.
Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
July 29, 2011.
J. Hays Lawson, Louisville, Kentucky, Brief for Appellants.
Kimberlee S. Rohr, Cincinnati, Ohio, Brief for Appellee.
Christopher Morgan and Sharon Takvam appeal from the Shelby Circuit Court's entry of summary judgment in favor of HSBC Bank USA, NA in a foreclosure action. After a careful review of the record and the parties' briefs, we reverse and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
On August 22, 2005, Morgan and Takvam executed a note in the amount of $101,200.00 to Ownit Mortgage Solutions, Inc. (Ownit). That same day, Morgan and Takvam granted a mortgage to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., (MERS) as nominee for Ownit. The mortgage encumbered the property located at 12233 Mount Eden Road, Mount Eden, Kentucky 40046. After executing the note and mortgage, Morgan and Takvam defaulted on their payments and currently owe for their March 1, 2008, payment. At the time of this appeal, they owed $101,066.87, plus interest at 9.875% per year from February 1, 2008, in addition to court costs, advances, and other charges, including a reasonable attorney fee, as allowed by law.
On July 31, 2008, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee for Ownit Mortgage Loan Trust, Mortgage Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2005-5 (HSBC) instituted foreclosure proceedings by filing a complaint against Morgan and Takvam, based on their alleged default under the note and mortgage. In the complaint, HSBC claimed to be the holder of the note on Morgan and Takvam's home, but stated that a copy of the note was unavailable at the time the complaint was filed. Rather than filing an answer, Morgan[2] moved to dismiss the complaint, arguing that HSBC did not have standing to sue and that the complaint failed to state a claim for which relief may be granted. The basis for Morgan's motion to dismiss was that HSBC did not attach a copy of the note to its complaint, and thus there was no proof that they had standing to enforce the note.
HSBC responded to the motion to dismiss on September 11, 2008, and in its response attached a copy of an adjustable rate note between Ownit, as lender, and Morgan and Takvam, as borrowers. HSBC was not a party to this note. On August 11, 2008, an assignment of mortgage from Ownit to HSBC dated August 4, 2008, was recorded in Shelby County, Kentucky. While Morgan's motion to dismiss was still pending, HSBC filed for summary judgment on December 3, 2008. The copy of the note HSBC attached to the motion for summary judgment included an undated "Note Allonge" signed by Richard Williams as Vice President of Litton Loan Servicing, LP and as Attorney in Fact of Ownit. This document purported to negotiate the note to HSBC.
On January 7, 2009, the trial court held a hearing on Morgan's motion to dismiss and HSBC's motion for summary judgment. Subsequently, on February 25, 2009, the trial court denied Morgan's motion to dismiss and entered summary judgment in HSBC's favor. Morgan filed a timely motion to vacate under Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure (CR) 59.05 on March 6, 2009, and on March 18, 2009, the trial court orally denied Morgan's motion and noted the same on the docket sheet.
Morgan filed a notice of appeal on April 2, 2009. On April 8, 2009, this Court, sua sponte, raised the issue of jurisdiction and ordered Morgan to show why the appeal should not be dismissed as being interlocutory because no order appeared in the record denying Morgan's CR 59.05 motion. After considering Morgan's response, this Court entered another order on June 8, 2009, ordering that the appeal be held in abeyance for thirty days to allow the circuit court to enter an order in accordance with its March 18, 2009, docket sheet notation overruling Morgan's motion to vacate.
Although the case was returned to this Court's active docket automatically at the expiration of that thirty-day period per the Court's order, the record did not reflect that the trial court ever entered an order denying the motion to vacate. On March 16, 2011, this court again held the matter in abeyance for thirty days to permit the parties to petition the trial court to enter a proper order denying the CR 59.05 motion. On March 31, 2011, the parties tendered an order from the trial court denying the CR 59.05 motion, and this case was returned to our active docket for consideration of the merits on appeal.
On appeal, Morgan raises two arguments; namely, 1) that HSBC was not entitled to a judgment as a matter of law because it did not have authority to enforce the note and 2) that summary judgment was premature because discovery was incomplete and because he did not have time to conduct discovery to determine whether HSBC breached an assumed duty.
In Lewis v. B & R Corp., 56 S.W.3d 432, 436 (Ky. App. 2001), this Court set forth the standard of review in an appeal from the entry of a summary judgment:
The standard of review on appeal when a trial court grants a motion for summary judgment is "whether the trial court correctly found that there were no genuine issues as to any material fact and that the moving party was entitled to judgment as a matter of law." The trial court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, and summary judgment should be granted only if it appears impossible that the nonmoving party will be able to produce evidence at trial warranting a judgment in his favor. The moving party bears the initial burden of showing that no genuine issue of material fact exists, and then the burden shifts to the party opposing summary judgment to present "at least some affirmative evidence showing that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial." The trial court "must examine the evidence, not to decide any issue of fact, but to discover if a real issue exists." While the Court in Steelvest[, Inc. v. Scansteel Service Center, Inc., 807 S.W.2d 476, 480 (Ky. 1991),] used the word "impossible" in describing the strict standard for summary judgment, the Supreme Court later stated that that word was "used in a practical sense, not in an absolute sense." Because summary judgment involves only legal questions and the existence of any disputed material issues of fact, an appellate court need not defer to the trial court's decision and will review the issue de novo. [Citations in footnotes omitted.]
Morgan's first argument addresses whether HSBC was entitled to judgment as a matter of law based upon the argument that HSBC lacked standing to enforce the note. Initially, we note that the particular facts of this case, in particular the sequence of events that unfolded, is troubling. In its complaint, HSBC alleged that it was the holder of the note on Morgan's home but claimed that a copy of the note was unavailable. Morgan moved to dismiss on grounds that HSBC failed to produce the note and thus had no proof that, as the holder of the note, it was entitled to proceed in foreclosure against Morgan and Takvam.
KRS 355.1-201(2)(u) defines a "holder" as "[t]he person in possession of a negotiable instrument that is payable either to bearer or to an identified person that is the person in possession." Morgan argues that at the time it filed suit, HSBC was not a holder of the note and accordingly could not enforce the note. In support of this argument, Morgan points out that the note was payable to a specific, identified entity: Ownit. Morgan argues that Ownit could have transferred or negotiated its rights to HSBC by endorsement, which requires a signature by an authorized representative of Ownit in the signator's official capacity, see KRS 355.3-402, but that it failed to properly do so.
Initially, HSBC produced a note between Ownit, Morgan, and Takvam, and subsequently, at summary judgment stage, produced another note with the aforementioned note allonge purporting to assign the note to HSBC. In its order granting summary judgment, the trial court held that the endorsement in the note allonge by Richard Williams, as president of Litton Loan Servicing LP and attorney- in- fact for Ownit, was sufficient proof that HSBC was a holder of the note. In support of this holding, the trial court explained that as an attorney- in-fact for Ownit, Williams was authorized to transact business for Ownit. However, we find it troubling that when HSBC initially filed suit, a copy of this note was not attached and that later, this undated note allonge purporting to indorse the note to HSBC appeared in the record.
Further, HSBC argues that under KRS 355.3-203(2), it has the power to enforce the note. That statute states that "[t]he transfer of an instrument, whether or not the transfer is a negotiation, vests in the transferee any right of the transferor to enforce the instrument." The Official comment to Section 203(2) states: "If the transferee is not a holder because the transferor did not indorse; the transferee is nevertheless a person entitled to enforce the instrument under Section 3-301 if the transferor was a holder at the time of transfer."
Thus, according to HSBC, even if Ownit did not properly indorse the note, as Morgan claims on appeal, it can enforce the note if Ownit was a holder at the time of the transfer, or at the time the note allonge was signed. The difficulty in determining the applicability of the note allonge is the fact that it is not dated, and thus there is nothing in the record to determine whether the transferor, Ownit, was a holder at the time it allegedly transferred its interest in the note to HSBC.
This case is further complicated by the fact that the mortgage was not assigned to HSBC until August 4, 2008, and was subsequently recorded on August 11, 2008. HSBC filed suit on July 31, 2008, and the parties were served on August 2, 2008. Morgan argues that because HSBC did not have possession of the note and the mortgage when it filed suit, and thus had no standing, it cannot cure its lack of standing by subsequently acquiring an interest in the mortgage.
Because this is an issue of first impression in the state of Kentucky, Morgan cites to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Marchione, 887 N.Y.S.2d 615 (N.Y.A.D. 2 Dept. 2009), in support of this argument. In that case, the parties executed a mortgage with Option One Mortgage Corporation on September 2, 2005. Id. at 616. The parties allegedly failed to make payments beginning on April 1, 2007, and Wells Fargo initiated suit by filing a summons and complaint on November 30, 2007. Id. Option One assigned its "right, title and interest" in the aforementioned mortgage to Wells Fargo in an assignment dated December 4, 2007. Id. The assignment contained a provision stating that it became effective on October 28, 2007. Id. The Appellate Court held that because Wells Fargo did not have an interest in the note and mortgage before they filed suit and only acquired such an interest after filing suit, the bank lacked standing to bring the suit. Id. at 617. Specifically, the trial court held, "[i]n order to commence a foreclosure action, the plaintiff must have a legal or equitable interest in the mortgage. . . . Here, Wells Fargo lacked standing to bring this foreclosure action because it was not the assignee of the mortgage on November 30, 2007, the day the action was commenced." Id. Ohio also requires that banks have an interest in the mortgage when suit is filed. See Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Byrd, 897 N.E.2d 722 (Ohio App. 1 Dist. 2008) ("bank that was not the mortgagee when suit was filed cannot cure its lack of standing by subsequently obtaining an interest in the mortgage.").
Because it is impossible to determine from the record when Ownit transferred its interest in the note to HSBC and because the mortgage was not assigned to HSBC until August 4, 2008, after HSBC filed suit against Morgan, we simply cannot say that HSBC had standing to bring the instant action. CR 17.01 provides that "every action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest, but…an assignee for the benefit of creditors…may bring an action…" It follows that, where a cause of action has been assigned, the assignee becomes the real party in interest. See CR 17.01. However, "[i]n no event may an assignee maintain an action for any part of a claim which has not been assigned to him." Works v. Winkle, 234 S.W.2d 312, 315 (Ky. App. 1950). A mere expectancy is not enough to establish standing, a party must prove a "present or substantial interest." Plaza B.V. v. Stephens, 913 S.W2d 319, 322 (Ky. 1996) (quoting Ashland v. Ashland F.O.P. No.3, Inc., 888 S.W.2d 667 (Ky. 1994)). In the instant case, HSBC cannot prove when it obtained a present or substantial interest in the note and it did not receive an interest in the mortgage until after it filed suit. Accordingly, the trial court's judgment as a matter of law that HSBC had standing to pursue its claims was in error.
For the foregoing reasons, we reverse the Shelby Circuit Court's summary judgment and remand this matter for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Respectfully, I concur with the result that HSBC Bank did not establish that it had standing to file a complaint at the time it commenced this action. Although a bankruptcy action, I agree with the analysis and detailed explanation set forth in In re Veal, ___ B.R. ___, 2011 WL 2304200 (9th Cir. BAP, June 20, 2011) and find it to be persuasive and an excellent explanation relevant to the issue presently before the Court.

[2] We note that while Takvam was named on the Notice of Appeal, she does not appear to have actively participated at the trial court level below, and she has not filed a separate brief on appeal. Thus we refer only to Morgan throughout the opinion.
