Charlie's 1-800-KICK-DUI (www.DUI1.com) biography
by
Charles Rowland
on Wed 10 Mar 2010 07:00 AM EST
Charles M. Rowland II maintains
an established DUI/OVI and criminal practice, representing the
accused drunk drivers in State and Federal Courts in the Miami
Valley and throughout Ohio. Since 2005, Charles Rowland has
dedicated his practice exclusively to representing the accused drunk
driver and has worked to amass more credentials than any attorney in
his field.
DUI/OVI
CREDENTIALS Charles served as the Xenia City Prosecutor and
has served as a “Special Prosecutor” on high-profile
felony cases. Charles is a proud member of the National College for DUI defense and in
2006 attended the intensive seminar on DUI law at Harvard University.

KIASU (from Wikipedia)
by
Charles Rowland
on Tue 09 Mar 2010 11:29 AM EST
Kiasu (Traditional Chinese:
驚輸; POJ: kiaⁿ-su) is a Hokkien
(a Chinese spoken
variant) word that literally means 'fear of losing' (Mandarin Chinese: 怕輸). However its actual usage would imply
a meaning more approaching that of "dog in a manger", and yet not quite.[citation needed]
Examples of kiasu behaviour includes accumulating too much food on one's
plate during a buffet lunch in case there is no more later, or joining a
queue many days in advance just to ensure that one successfully gets
hold of the limited free tickets to events, promotions and shows such as
Singapore's annual National Day Parade.
This word is so widely used by Singaporeans
and Malaysians
that it is incorporated into their English vocabulary (in the form of Singlish).
It is often used in describing the social attitudes of people,
especially about South East Asian society
and its values. Its widespread use is often because
these attitudes are common—to not lose out in a highly competitive
society (e.g. by above-cited examples), or to the extent of parents
imposing heavy study labour on their children in their wish to make them
at the very top of all other students. Growing up with this attitude,
these students often become ambitious businesspeople, with the desire to
be on top in wealth and prestige regardless of whether the most
prestigious careers are aligned with their true capabilities.
Kiasu is commonly compared to Kiasi
(literally, fear of death) and both are commonly used to describe
behaviour where Kiasu or Kiasu-ism means to take extreme
means to achieve success and Kiasi or
Kiasi-ism
means to take extreme means to avoid risk.

The Position Paper of Forensic Sobriety Assessment
by
Charles Rowland
on Mon 08 Mar 2010 11:00 AM EST
FSA Position Statements
- Driving while under the influence is a serious societal problem and warrants application of the best tests and procedures available in a responsible, unbiased, professional manner.
- Current sobriety tests and behavioral indices have little scientific support and show wide variation among individuals (Rubenzer, 2007).
- While enforcement of DWI/DUI laws require a number of value judgments (e.g., the relative cost of failing to arrest a drunk driver vs. falsely arresting one that is not), standard tools of scientific analysis bring greater objectivity and fairness to the process.
- Sobriety tests that are used to prove impairment in court should be validated by demonstrating that they correlate highly with reliable and valid measures of mental, behavioral, or driving impairment.
- Future sobriety test validity studies should be done in a “blind” manner so that other clues of intoxication (e.g., red eyes, slurred speech) do not affect test scoring.
- Future studies on sobriety tests which use a dichotomous criterion (e.g., above or below a specific BAC) should routinely report full diagnostic statistics. In addition to sensitivity and specificity, this specifically includes positive and negative predictive power at different base rates (percentage of intoxicated subjects in the sample).
- Available data suggest that the current Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) have limited inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and are subject to substantial false positive rates when BAC is the criterion (Rubenzer, 2007).
- NHTSA training materials should be modified to include cautions about the effect of age and physical (e.g., medical) conditions on the SFSTs, including HGN. Misleading or incorrect information should be corrected and communicated to officers trained under previous programs.
- Testimony about sobriety tests should rely on the peer-reviewed scientific literature, and experts should be able to cite papers which support their position. They should also qualify their opinions based on limitations of the studies relied up on and contrary findings.
- The adequacy of a sobriety test depends on the purpose for which it is used. The SFSTs, properly administered to a young, healthy, physically fit subject, are probably adequate to meet the relaxed standards pertaining to probable cause. However, they do not currently meet Frye or Daubert criteria for scientific evidence (Rubenzer, 2007).
More complete recommendations for further research on the SFSTs are given in Rubenzer, S. J. (2007). The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests: A Review of Scientific and Legal Issues. Law and Human Behavior, DOI: 10.1007/s10979-007-9111- y, which is included in the FSA training program.

DC Breath Test Problems Headed to Ohio?
by
Charles Rowland
on Mon 01 Mar 2010 11:50 AM EST
The KY-based company (CMI, Inc.) which produced the machines which malfunctioned in Washington D.C. (see contemporaneous postings and video) also produces the Intoxilyzer 8000 breath test machine which Ohio has decided is going to be the only breath test machine used in Ohio. This latest breath machine failure comes on the heels of lawsuits in Florida, Washington and Kentucky wherein defense attorneys have been thwarted by the company from obtaining information on the basic workings of these devices. Strong arguments exist that breathalyzer tests are junk science and this latest failure will only lend credence to this view. Some argue breathalyzer machines
should only be used to determine whether to obtain a more thorough blood
alcohol screening.
