Red Horse is the blistering free-post-everything project of drummer/multi-percussionist Eli Keszler and guitarist/mad-scientist Steve Pyne. While both musicians are active in a number of different projects (you probably wouldn't believe Pyne's day job even if we told you), Red Horse catches them working with a distilled sense of focus and is for many their breakthrough project. Red Horse (not to be confused with the similarly-titled debut) is the duo's second album, and follows the rush of critical acclaim for the first which saw thick-skinned musos wowed by their blistering combination of rhythm and dissonance. As you'd expect in a sequel, the budget is higher and the production more widescreen, and a far cry from the near lo-fi grind of its predecessor, this new full-length is exposed to the miniscule detail. The production technique might scare some, but the crisp sound of Keszler's innovative drumming and Pyne's complex instrumental destruction has never sounded better or more fitting. Garnishing Keszler's well-worn patented hyperactive splatter-beats, Pyne experiments with a veritable arsenal of home-made equipment -- from gargantuan electrified, automated string sculptures to confusing sequences of reclaimed speakers (taken from a very well known Eastern-themed music box) wired together, creating a wall of screaming feedback. In the wrong hands their sound could easily be stuffy and academic, but Red Horse inject their experiments with a punk spirit rarely heard in the avant garde. Sure, the instruments are being handled by a couple of the best musicians in their field, but it hardly matters -- this is the sound of beautiful cacophony, and like Supersilent before them, there's something undeniably attractive about that concept. It's not your average noise, rock, improv, jazz or experimental record -- it's all of the above and a great deal more. Just make sure you listen loud, there's a lot to hear.

Having a first aid kit in the car can be a lifesaver. Not only can it prove crucial in the event of a road crash, but also in less serious mishaps such as cuts, scrapes and burns.
The new national standard for first aid provision within motor vehicles takes effect from February 2014, which aims to improve safety for all UK motorists by equipping vehicles with the most appropriate first response medical supplies necessary to treat road side injuries.
Making it easier than ever before to ensure your motor vehicles are stocked with appropriate first aid provision, BS8599-2 specifies requirements for the compilation of first aid components in three sizes of first aid kits - small, medium and large.

Business Success Stories – The Explosive Growth of Zoom
November 29, 2021 Rebecca Smith
Video conferencing in and of itself is certainly nothing new. It's been around in some form or another for decades — businesses used it for remote meetings in the 1990s, and personal users have been "Skyping" with friends and family since high-speed Internet connections found their way into homes. Certain organizations have become virtually synonymous with the trend in much the same way that "Google it" has become shorthand for "search for something online." Zoom Video Communications is one such company.
Originally launched in 2013 by a former Cisco engineer and executive named Eric Yuan, Zoom has enjoyed an almost unprecedented level of growth over the last two years, thanks largely to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, as the Coronavirus began to make its way around the world, people were sent to work from home indefinitely. Of course, they still needed a way to communicate and collaborate with one another. They suddenly had to figure out how to be just as productive at home as they could be in the office. For many, Zoom became that solution.
Charting the Rise of Zoom
It's clear that COVID-19 has contributed enormously to Zoom's current success. In January 2020, for example, it was estimated that the service saw approximately 56,000 daily downloads. By February, that number had already climbed to 1.7 million. Just a month later, when worldwide lockdowns and other social distancing restrictions began, it had risen again to 2.13 million — a trend that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Likewise, the platform has also seen a dramatic surge in the number of people participating in meetings every day. After all, Zoom is a free download from both the service's website and various app stores. Downloads don't amount to much if people aren't actively using the software, but thankfully for Zoom, they are. In December 2019, there were approximately 10 million daily meeting participants according to the same research mentioned above. In March 2020, that number had climbed to 200 million. Another month later and it hit more than 300 million.
The idea for Zoom was born from Eric Yuan, an immigrant from China who first arrived in the United States in the 1990s. Even back then, he was passionate about finding a way to make video calls not only easy, but portable — and this was before the advent of the smartphone.
His career began at WebEx, where he worked as an engineer. After WebEx was acquired by Cisco a decade later, he became that company's Corporate Vice President of Engineering. He experienced a tremendous amount of success during that time, but he had visions of something bigger.
While he was at Cisco, Yuan listened carefully to customers express various complaints about how WebEx operated. They were constantly dealing with unreliable connections, a disconnect between the audio and video, etc. They even found the installation process frustrating, particularly in IT departments that were working with a large number of users.
Customers wanted something faster, more reliable, more efficient and more straightforward. Yuan was more than happy to oblige.
In 2011, he left Cisco and began to work on the solution that would become Zoom. It officially launched in January 2013 and was a major hit right out of the gate. Not only did Zoom hit one million active participants just a few months later in May, but Yuan was also able to secure funding of $10 million to continue his work.
Even before the pandemic, Zoom found ways to differentiate itself from many other competitors in the marketplace. For starters, Yuan prioritized very low data usage, meaning that calls would still function on slower Internet connections and mobile devices. Not only that, but Zoom was cloud-based, virtually eliminating the installation process and making it available on any device or platform — no exceptions. The Pro package cost just $9.99 per month at its launch, which was far cheaper than almost anything out there. In addition, Zoom was offered to K-12 schools free of charge in many of the countries it had entered.
The aforementioned features combined to form the perfect storm. Zoom slowly began to increase its market share, then the COVID-19 pandemic acted as an accelerant that solidified what many in the industry already knew: video conferencing was here to stay, and Zoom was now a frontrunner.
We hope to inspire business owners by sharing success stories like Zoom's. If you need any assistance with your start-up or scaling your business, feel free to give us a call.

What is 17 - 10 ?


Cincinnati chili is a chili unlike any other, filled with a beguiling mix of Mediterranean spices and chili powder, a beloved regional favorite. Make it tonight with this recipe.
If you've never had Cincinnati chili, I urge you to give this recipe a try. Right away. Tonight.
It's a different sort of chili, so different from other chili recipes from other parts of the United States. It certainly looks like a regular chili when you include beans, similar in appearance to something like Chili Colorado or even this Super Easy Chili Recipe, but you'll notice the difference once you take a taste.
First off, Cincinnati chili is more like a meat sauce, like a bolognese, meant to be served over spaghetti or pasta.
It is not a spicy chili. While it does contain chili powder traditionally, it is different in the other blend of Mediterranean spices that go into it.
You won't get that spicy kick unless you alter the original recipe, though you can include chili flakes and serve it with hot sauce.
Instead you'll enjoy an unexpected touch of sweetness that typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, though other spices play an important part and, as with any recipe, variations do exist from cook to cook.
This mix of spices works together quite harmoniously, and with your first bite, you'll be pleasantly surprised. And potentially hooked.
Typical ingredients in Cincinnati chili include ground beef, tomato paste, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, cumin, chili powder, bay leaf, dark chocolate (though this is more of a home cook option), simmered in water or stock.
Toppings include cheese, onions and beans, and sometimes garlic.
The story of Cincinnati chili starts with two brothers, Tom and John Kiradjieff, who immigrated to Cincinnati in the early 1920 from troubled Greece.
They opened up the Empress Chili Parlor in 1922, and wanted to make something Americans would appreciate. What they essentially created was a stew of meat seasoned with their familiar spices, added in chili powder and other local American spices, and served it up.
The locals fell in love with the dish and have continued to go for serving after serving to this day.
My Cincinnati chili recipe was given to me from a friend named Jerry I met as we were both visiting Florida. I struck up the conversation about making chili, and he said I MUST try his recipe, but he vehemently insisted I change NOTHING.
No alterations. No substitutions. NADA! I have made no changes to Jerry's Famous Cincinnati Chili recipe, so here it is!
Combine the following ingredients in a large pot.
Submerge the onion and break up the uncooked beef as fine as you can.
Cook on medium-low heat, uncovered, for two hours, stirring every 20 mins. Everything will break down and meld together quite nicely.
Remove onion and bay leaves. Looks just like any chili!
Serving up Cincinnati is another way it is differentiated from other American chili recipes.
Jerry and his wife, Pam, who adore their Cincinnati chili, love to serve theirs over spaghetti, but also on hot dogs, and with Fritos over the top.
They also enjoy making their favorite "Walking Tacos", which is in a bowl with some shredded lettuce, chili, shredded cheese, sour cream and Fritos. They also mix all of that up right into a small Frito bag. Nice!
That's it my friends! I hope you enjoy your Cincinnati chili! It really is unique! A chili like no other!
Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Submerge the onion.
Break up the uncooked beef as fine as you can.
Cook on medium-low heat, uncovered, for two hours, stirring every 20 mins.
Serve with your favorite fixins.
Or, serve it over a hot dog with mustard, onions and shredded cheddar cheese.
Very unique tangy flavour. Can't wait to try some on hot dogs.
I do have one complaint. You failed to warn of the mouth watering aroma that permeates from the kitchen causing everyone to go mad!
True, Gerald! This chili recipe should come with a warning! Too good to wait!
No wonder it also goes on hot dogs – except for the beans, it's close to the recipes in many areas for hot dog chili, which also came from Greek origins, rather than Tex-Mex, like chili con carne. In most cities it was originally called hot dog sauce until the similarity with chili con carne lead to the name cross-over. Isn't hybridizing of food traditions wonderful for the taste buds?
It is fun, isn't it? I love it!
Looks yummy and delicious with all the amazing flavors. Love the recipe and need a try.
This needs to happen for dinner! Looks so hearty and delicious!
Quite hearty for sure! Thanks, Taylor.
That looks like a really hearty and comforting chili. The sauce looks lovely and rice too.
Thank you for reminding me it's been way too long since I've had Cincinnati chili! And, thanks for sharing Jerry's recipe with us, I won't change a thing!
Thanks, Pam! Jerry don't want no changes! Haha.
Excellent! I can see how it's an acquired taste, so I'm glad I loved it at first taste!

You will gain a lot of real-world, practical knowledge from your broker and mentor agents once you start working as a real estate agent. But to get your license, you will need to complete a real estate course, pass the end-of-course exam administered by the course provider and pass your state's licensing exam.
Real estate licensing exams have two parts: national and state. Real estate licensing exam pass rates vary among the states, however, it is common for people seeking their licenses to fail the test one time or more before passing it. Failure to pass the exam on the first try often is the result of failing to prepare for it effectively. To get your license in the shortest amount of time, focus on study materials and methods designed to help you pass the test.
You can ask other real estate agents what they remember of the licensing exam. For the most reliable information, ask those agents who took their real estate license exams in the past few months. Memories falter and tests change based on changes in real estate law.
Again, tests change over time with business practices and legal revisions, which makes sharing information about test questions and answers more challenging. When shopping for study guides, look for those that have been recently published. You might also consider buying study guides from publishers with digital versions of such publications since digital publications can be updated more easily than print editions.
You'll have lots of time after you have your license to expand your knowledge and expertise. Focus now on locating study materials or courses that are designed to help you pass the licensing exam. If you're considering an exam prep course, find out the course provider's first-time pass rate. Some offer free re-training if you fail the first time around.
A good test-taking skill is to answer the questions you know first, while not getting bogged down on those that you're not sure about. Real estate licensing exams are computerized, and the software makes it easy to mark and come back to, skipped questions. As a rule of thumb, if you know it, answer it. If you're not sure, move on. It may surprise you how a related question further along in the test can help you to answer the ones you skip.
The tried-and-true advice to get a good night's sleep and arrive early and fresh still applies. It is rare that burning the midnight oil helps if it is the midnight before the exam. Consider advice such as limiting your caffeine, sugar and alcohol intake in the hours leading up to your exam. If you're unfamiliar with the location where the exam will be administered, it's a good idea to plan a drive-by a few days before your test date so that the anxiety of getting lost doesn't hinder your chances of passing the exam.

What Does a Supreme Court Justice Earn?
What does a judge at the Federal Court of Justice earn?
What do federal judges earn?
What do judges and prosecutors earn?
The Supreme Court is the supreme instance in civil and criminal matters and thus the supreme organ of ordinary jurisdiction. He reviews decisions of higher regional courts and regional courts as well as criminal decisions of district courts if requested by the General Procuratorate.
The Supreme Court sits in Washington, DC, with other federal courts located across the country. Federal courts deal with cases involving the Constitution, federal law, federal treaties and the law of the sea, or involving foreign citizens or governments or the US federal government itself.
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the United States and is based in Washington DC. In addition, in all 50 states there is a Supreme Court in the jurisdiction of the respective state.
Election and appointment The judges at the highest federal courts are elected by a judges' election committee ( 125 para. 1 Court Constitution Act), which includes the justice ministers of the federal states and 16 members elected by the Bundestag.
As of 2015, a federal district court judge is paid $201,100 a year, a federal appeals court judge is $213,300 a year, and a Supreme Court judge is $246,800 a year. In addition, earnings of a maximum of $21,000 for teaching activities are permitted.
In the middle are the judges of the Federal Social Court (10,100 euros), the Federal Court of Justice (10,500 euros) and the Federal Labor Court (16,400 euros).
A judge from the Federal Social Court follows at a distance with 601,149 euros. These are considerable sums – especially since the federal judges are otherwise not badly provided for by the taxpayer. According to the salary scale, they earn between 110,000 and 120,000 euros.
Judge You will be paid, just like the public prosecutor, according to the R salary scale and will receive a starting salary of between 4,000 and 4,600 euros gross per month.

Public Education as Social Engineering
Posted on March 9, 2020 by stuartbramhall
Weapons of Mass Instruction
by John Taylor Gatto
New Society Publishers (2010)
Free PDF: Weapons of Mass Instruction
This book is the culmination of decades of research into the history of universal compulsory education in the US. It confirms my long held intuitive sense that the primary purpose of public schools is to produce obedient and compliant factory workers. In Weapons of Mass Instruction, Gatto unequivocally establishes that public education was deliberately designed this way – mainly by Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, George Peabody, and other Wall Street oligarchs through their charitable foundations.
Gatto leaves absolutely no doubt that public schools go beyond suppressing the truth about slavery, Native American genocide, and US empire building. From the beginning, US educational planners have consciously engaged in social engineering that discourages resistance to authority and deliberately conditions American children to become compliant workers and consumers. According to Gatto, the primary tools used are continuous enforced boredom and punitive regimentation that prevents children from developing the self-awareness necessary for maturation. The end result is a society where most people remain perpetual children.
He traces what he refers to as the "Prussianization"* of US education to the 1840s. He also identifies Darwin and his cousin Dalton (founder of modern eugenics) as having a major influence over US public schools.
Gatto quotes from Harvard education professor Alexander Inglis in his 1918 book Principles of Secondary Education, regarding the six specific functions schools must perform in facilitating "Social Darwinism," ie weeding out inferior human beings from the national breeding stock:
The Adaptive Function – establishing fixed habits of reaction to authority (thus precluding the development of critical judgement).
The Integrating Function – conditioning to induce conformity.
The Diagnostic and Directive Function – ascertaining a student's ultimate social status as an adult.
The Differentiating Function – sorting children by social status and training them for their ultimate destination in society.
The Selective Function – clearly tagging the unfit (with poor grades, remedial placement, and other punishments) to enable to their peers to recognize them as inferior and reject them as breeding partners.
The Propaedeutic Function – training a small fraction of students to assume elite authority roles while deliberately dumbing down and "declawing" students of lower status.
Gatto also writes at length about the invention of the artificial concept of "adolescence" by Johns Hopkins behavioral psychologist G Stanley Hall in 1904. Educationalists would use Hall's definition of adolescence ("dangerous irrational state of human growth") to justify extending compulsory schooling (which prior to the Civil War ended at age 12) into the teen years.
Most of the book consists of historical vignettes about major innovators who dropped out of formal schooling. Among other examples Gatto gives are Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Melville, Twain, Conrad, Hitler, Lula, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and George Bernard Shaw.
* Prussia and Britain were the first countries to use universal compulsory education to suppress creativity, originality, self-awareness, and similar traits that tend to lessen compliance and obedience in factory workers. Owing to the role Prussian (Hessian) auxiliaries played in the Revolutionary War, Prussian customs and culture were greatly admired in early US society.

I love getting affirmations like this. What should we do about it? Is compulsory education (indoctrination) really necessary? I know I speak anathema, but having gone through the US educational system, I have to wonder if it stifles more than it stimulates learning, creativity, and curiosity.
Me too, Katherine. Gatto argues that we should end compulsory education and helped promote a Montana bill ending compulsory education in Montana. I must say that after reading his book I agree with him. My preference would be to offer young people access to publicly subsidized tutoring to learn basic skills, such as math and reading, as many may not be able to rely on parents to teach them. And then from age 12 on offer them publicly subsidized apprenticeships, either through existing businesses or community college.
Sha'Tara on March 10, 2020 at 7:27 pm said:
Anything can start out as a boon and end up as a bane to society. Any "system" can be hijacked by certain forces to use it for their own ends and it's a guarantee that any "system" will be so used. Take a look at religions, politics, finance and business, now corporate business. Everything is producing the opposite of that it started out to do, and continues to claim it does.
Actually, Sha'Tara, the main premise of Gatto's book is the compulsory education accomplished exactly what its architects intended it to accomplish: it turned the US into a nation of fearful dependent children.
Which proves the point, that government and think tanks being already hijacked, they have corporate architects to craft a public education system to suit their needs and the brainwashed have nothing to fight with even if they suspect something stinks.
This may be where individual states could become truly creative. The federal government's one-size-fits-all-top-down dominance has become far too cumbersome and certainly does not represent anyone well.
What can you expect from a debt-backed system that has borrowed $21 trillion against the future to pay for today's excesses? And this is the outfit that is in control of teaching math?

Prior to his stint at Syracuse, Acosta spent one year as head coach at Widener (2013) and five seasons as assistant coach at TCNJ (2008-12), the last four as offensive coordinator. That came on the heels of two seasons as the tight ends coach at Delaware, helping the Blue Hens to the 2007 FCS National Championship game and assisting in the development of future Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco. He served as head coach at both Marlboro HS (2002-04) and Monmouth Regional HS (2006-07) with a brief intermittent stint as wide receivers coach at TCNJ for three years. Acosta began his coaching career at Rowan (1999-2001) as the team's defensive backs and special teams coach. In addition, he spent the 2008 (Cleveland Browns) and 2010 (New York Jets) NFL preseason serving coaching internships.
In his one season as head coach at Widener, the Pride went 6-4, and averaged 439.7 yards and 31.8 points per game. At TCNJ, his offense set school records for passing yards (2,491) and completions (269) in a season in 2012. During the 2009 campaign, the offense scored the most points in a single-season in program history (309), as wel las yards in a game (708 vs. FDU-Florham).
Acosta played four seasons at Rowan, helping the team to the Stagg Bowl - the Division III national championship game - each year.

Lopez Obrador first State of the Union address
It is his first State of the Union speech and Mexico's President is celebrating an agreement with the United States. Lopez Obrador's government reached a deal with the Trump administration to overcome the threat of tariffs on trade, it was in exchange for sending troops to Mexico's southern border. All negotiated under US President Trump's crackdown on the flow of undocumented migrants entering America.
One of the Mexican President's priorities he discussed is the newly created National Guard, which was deployed in part to curb unregulated migration.
Much of Lopez Obrador's political messaging, including his first State of the Union Address, focuses on his effort to fight violence with education. For political analyst, Esteban Illades, Lopez Obrador's messages portray a conception of reality that differs from what's happening in the country.
Despite the protests and temperamental relationship with his American neighbors, Lopez Obrador still enjoys a 68 percent approval rating. his supporters say he will fulfill his campaign promise to transform the country.
With five years left of a six-year term, many Mexicans believe he'll have enough time to eradicate Mexico's corrupt practices and find an even ground with the United States. But there are still those who see the country as being damaged irrevocably.

The Big Data Craze Is Just as Qualitative as It Is Quantitative
One of my favorite recent movie scenes takes place at the end of Moneyball, when Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) is summoned to Fenway Park to meet with Red Sox owner John Henry (played by Arliss Howard). Henry, impressed with Beane's highly improbable success in overseeing a major regular season comeback, sums up the establishment's outcry over Beane embracing analytical models to shape the team's roster.
"This is threatening not just a way of doing business, but in their minds, it's threatening the game. Really what it's threatening is their livelihood, their jobs," Henry says.
"It's threatening the way they do things. And every time that happens, whether it's the government, a way of doing business, whatever it is, the people who are holding the reins — they have their hands on the switch — they go batsh*t crazy."
In digital marketing and communications, the same can be said of the big data craze that is permeating the halls of PR agencies, corporations and government institutions alike: it has taken too long to embrace data scientists who identify the "why" behind a trend, event, point of criticism or support. While this type of conceptual modeling has been around since the Mad Men days, the availability of real-time data is now the lifeblood of effective marketing and communications strategies. However, online analytics are quickly becoming commoditized.
What Google did for search, Facebook for social networking, LinkedIn for resume sharing, Salesforce.com for CRM — online analytics firms are developing new models that aim to fully organize the noise and chaos online.
Today, albeit for a cost, it's relatively easy to measure where conversations are happening across the social web, who's having them and what specifically about a brand, product or public policy issue is resonating (or falling flat). I have no doubt that in the next five years, anyone with a smartphone, tablet or laptop will be able to access highly-detailed, yet intuitive big data analytics for little or no cost.
Sounds exciting, right? Millions of people will have access to tools and platforms that take content consumption, networking, decision-making and overall connectivity to a whole new level.
But for brands, political campaigns and advocacy organizations that aim to have data-driven conversations with audiences, it will be more important than ever to apply qualitative logic and human reasoning to online analytical models. In short, subject matter expertise and deep knowledge will matter more than ever before given the rise of big data.
As communicators, even with what we have at our fingertips today, we need to immerse ourselves in the substance that contextualizes big data and allows us to make sense out of it. This means committing more time, asking more questions, consuming more content and never losing sight of the fact that data without actionable insights is meaningless.
Don't get me wrong — analytics becoming automated and commoditized is a good thing. However, the likelihood that we will rely on what's being fed back to us without taking the time to think about its impact on a strategy or business decision will only stand to increase. The promise of big data then quickly becomes the all-you-can-eat buffet of lazy or non-existent insights. If we let this happen, it's akin to missing out on one the greatest technological developments since the proliferation of the modern day Internet.
My vote is to build on Beane's approach, visit Fenway Park whenever possible and take an unconventional path in online analytics. We need to take the time to connect the dots and cultivate the insights that make us smarter and more effective in our daily jobs.
It's easy to rest on our laurels when the obvious answer might appear to be right in front of us. But disrupting the status quo is just as qualitative as it quantitative — in this case, it's the only way that we make big data work.

Voter Lockdown - John Kennedy O'Hara
Prosecuting Voters
Voter Lockdown
By JOHN KENNEDY O'HARA
Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama in Ohio, including spokeswoman Olivia Alair, signed a letter on October 24th asking the Franklin County Board of Elections to pull their names from the voter rolls. One Obama staffer in Ohio told me, "We're pretty nervous about this." The concern was prompted by a warning from prosecutor Ron O'Brien, the elected county district attorney and a Republican, urging new Democratic voters to "examine your conscious" before filing their registration cards.
Meanwhile, CNN announced that at least a dozen states are investigating allegedly fraudulent voter registrations among the flood of new registrants. Most of these are arrivals to the Democratic Party. Election officials nationwide estimate that 30 percent of the 1.3 million newly registered Democratic voters brought in by ACORN, an outreach organization based in poor communities, have been rejected. The source of most of these disputed registrations is a simple one – and very dangerous. The problem, allege prosecutors and election officials, is residence: Many of these "new" voters have simply moved to a new home.
This may sound benign, but when a prosecutor warns you to "examine your conscious," what it means is that the prosecutor will examine you. And when he talks about questioning the validity of your voting residence, what it really means is you might be going to jail for voting. I know this all too well from personal experience.
On October 21, 1996, I was indicted by the district attorney in Brooklyn, New York, on seven felony counts of what was deemed false registration and illegal voting. The first count was when I registered to vote in 1992. Count two was that the address on my registration was not my "principal and permanent residence" – the language of the bizarre New York State voter residence law. And the remaining five counts were the votes I cast in each of the elections and primaries over the following year. Each count was a class E felony carrying a penalty of one to four years in prison. I did not vote twice in the same day, nor did I vote from a sham address. Nonetheless, I was facing 28 years in prison for voting. The last felony case to be successfully prosecuted in New York for false registration and illegal voting took place in 1873, in Rochester, New York. The defendant in that case was Susan B. Anthony.
The genesis of my alleged crime was that in 1992 I registered to vote and voted from my ex-girlfriend's house in Brooklyn, which is fourteen blocks from where I currently live. The jury was asked to examine my life, over a twenty year period, to determine if the place I lived in for one year, four years earlier, was my "principal and permanent residence that I always intended to return to." I have lived in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn my entire life.
Every aspect of my personal life was now subject to investigation – meaning every check, credit card slip, tax return for the past 20 years was examined by the Brooklyn district attorney. My apartment, my campaign headquarters, houses of my relatives were put under surveillance.
With over a million registered voters in Brooklyn, you may be wondering why I was targeted in this Kafkaesque effort. I was 35 years old at the time; not once in my life was I ever in trouble with the law. The explanation is not much different than why prosecutors are targeting Obama campaign staffers in Ohio: It was my political activity. I had been a candidate for office on five separate occasions taking on entrenched incumbents, but what triggered the prosecution was an event that happened six weeks before my arrest.
On September 10, 1996, primary day in New York State, the voting machines were delivered late throughout selected polling places in Brooklyn. This was no accident, and tens of thousands of people were denied their chance to vote. The late machines affected the outcome of a judicial race that the district attorney's chief of staff was managing. When I saw what happened I had to act. I immediately filed an action in federal court and successfully got a continued election. There was a last-minute appeal by the party bosses, and the US Court of Appeals cancelled the continued election hours before the polls were to open.
My attorneys and I planned an emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court when I was suddenly indicted and arrested for illegal voting. I had stood up for other people's right to vote – and now I was going to be made an example of. It worked. When you are in lockup waiting to be arraigned on seven felony counts, your priorities quickly change.
The case of People v. O'Hara spiraled into one of the most expensive criminal cases in New York history. The case even made it into the pages of Harper's Magazine and was the subject of hundreds of articles in the mainstream dailies. I would soon become the first person in Brooklyn ever tried three times on the same charge. The first trial was reversed on appeal, the second trial resulted in a hung jury, and in the third trial I was convicted again. What followed were more than a dozen appeals with split decisions. The appellate courts in New York viewed the case as one of "first impression," meaning there had never been a criminal prosecution where someone had to pledge allegiance to one residence for an indefinite period of time.
Ultimately I was spared prison. My sentence was to be confined by probation for five years, fined $20,000, ordered to perform 1,500 hours of community service, and since I was now a convicted felon, I was disbarred as an attorney and lost my livelihood.
New York's highest court, the State Court of Appeals, realized the danger of prosecuting voters when a minority on the bench dissented in my case in a 5-2 decision during 2001 that ultimately upheld my conviction. The dissenting opinion stated:
If politically-charged disputes such as this and questions of "residence" are going to be resolved in the criminal arena and decided by juries, with the possibility of criminal conviction and incarceration, we would ensure that the definition of residence is plainly fixed and easily understood.
The problem, of course, is that under New York State law the definition of residence just doesn't make sense. It flatly cancels out the right to vote of anyone who can't pledge allegiance to a single residence. This includes those who are homeless or living in homeless shelters; it includes students living temporarily in dormitories. It might even include wealthy homeowners who maintain two or three residences – which one of the mansions is "principal and permanent"? The statutory definition of a residence in Ohio disturbingly echoes the language in the New York State election law under which I was prosecuted. A residence in Ohio must be that which is "fixed and to which whenever the person is absent, the person has the intention of returning." As in New York, the penalty for violating the law is draconian: It's a felony punishable by one year in prison and a $2,500 fine. There's another, perhaps more disturbing, catch in the Ohio fine print: If you vote from a claimed residence, but abandon that residence within the statute of limitations – typically five years – then you can be prosecuted, years later, for violating the law. This explains in part why the dozen Obama campaign staffers folded like an accordion on October 24.
Prosecuting people for their political activity is not a novel concept; we just don't want to believe it happens in America. But what's happening in Franklin County, Ohio, is an example of why it is necessary to have a prosecutor on your side to silence dissent. The prosecutor, after all, is the key to locking people up. Make no mistake, this is about suppressing turn-out, keeping the vote down, which is the common goal of all incumbent politicians. An elected district attorney, like O'Brien in Ohio, is no different than any other politician. Prosecutors exist by pleasing the party bosses, who help keep them in office, and, yes, they do have the perfect platform to keep voters out of the booth.
In the big picture, new voters mean change, and when do incumbents want change? Voter turnout has consistently declined year after year, which is no accident. It is accomplished through gerrymandering when re-apportionment comes around after each census, and also, as it happens, by the expansion of the prison industrial complex. Since 1990, the American prison population has gone from 800,000 to 2 million. Politicians fight to get those prisons in their districts. The reason is obvious: prisoners count as constituents, but they are not allowed to vote. This is every politician's dream come true: a district full of people who can't vote.
Getting locked up for voting happened to me, it is happening in Ohio – and it can happen to you. We have more people in prison than any country in the world. So we should pause before venturing down that slippery slope of prosecuting people for pulling the lever on election day.
John Kennedy O'Hara is no longer a disbarred lawyer, but as of this writing, is still a convicted felon living in Brooklyn, and has applied for a pardon from New York Governor David Paterson. His on-line petition to the governor's office can be found at freejohnohara.com.

ARNOLD Crosbie is the proud owner of a new 24-speed Specialized Pitch mountain bike courtesy of Wensley's Cycles and the SBS Bank Tour of Southland.
Mr Crosbie, of Tokanui, was presented with his new bike at the finish line of the Tour of Southland on Gala St on Saturday.
"I felt very good about [winning the bike]. I am wrapped about it," he said.
He had entered the competition to win the mountain bike in a bid to get fit and active, he said.
This is only the second bike the 76-year-old has ever owned.
He bought his first bicycle, a three-gear second-hand bike, in 1957, the year after the first Tour of Southland, he said. It cost him have it repaired, and he still has the receipt to prove it.
Mr Crosbie said he bought the bike because he was working on a dairy farm at the time and had to walk several kilometres from the farm in Waimahaka to his home in Fortrose.
However, it had been many years since he had last ridden a bike and Mr Crosbie said he was unsure how to ride a 24-speed bike.
"I think it will be too complicated for me.
There were also a lot of milk tankers, lime trucks and other heavy vehicles travelling on the roads near his home and he was concerned he could get run over, so he thought he would take it to Otara to ride, he said.
