Name BUOY, John Yearick
BIOGRAPHY: John Y. Buoy, member of the firm of B. K. Haag & Company, was born in Milton, Northumberland county, Pennsylyania, March 14, 1851, son of James and Eliza (Yearick) Buoy. His father was a cabinet maker by trade, a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and served as steward and treasurer of the same many years. Politically he was a Democrat, and was candidate for sheriff at one time. His wife died in 1854, and he was again married, to Eliza Cronmiller, of Union county. He died in 1861, and his widow in 1885. Seven children were born to the first union, five of whom are living: Sarah, of Olean, New York; Charles W., pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, Philadelphia; Clara, Mrs. P. L. Hackenberg; James, grocery merchant, and John Y. By the second marriage there was one child, Thomas, of Penfleld, Clearfield county, Pennsylvania. The subject of this sketch was reared in Milton, and received his education at the public schools and the Williamsport Commercial College. In 1869 he went to Williamsport, entered the office of the general superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad as train dispatcher, and held that position until 1887, when he removed to Milton and became a member of the present firm. In 1882 he married Mary, daughter of B. K. Haag, by whom he has three children: Robert, Charles, and John. He is a member of the Williamsport Lodge, F. & A. M., and politically is a Republican with Prohibition proclivities; he is the present treasurer of the borough of Milton. Mr. Buoy and family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he is steward.

Apple has removed a controversial crime reporting app from its app store.
The Vigilante app, which is still operational for those who already downloaded it, notifies people of crimes soon after they're reported. It then sends alerts to the smartphones of people near where the crimes are reported.
"What if everyone within a quarter mile of every reported crime were immediately made aware of it?" the company wrote in a Medium post announcing its launch. "What if there were a camera on every crime? What if transparency existed — if we all knew where crime was occurring and how it was being resolved?"
The app's creators issued a statement on their website confirming that the app was no longer available.
"We are working with Apple to resolve their concerns," the company said in a statement.
The company has also said there will soon be an Android version of the app. For now, the app only works in New York City.
On the map, users can see reports of crimes. Though the creators of the app have stressed that the system is meant to help people avoid crimes, there's certainly the risk that users will take it upon themselves to investigative or intervene (as the user "Dark Guardian" posted on Twitter).
To get a better idea of what the app aspires to, check out its promotional video below.

Editorial: New airport going nowhere
Every decade or so, the business leaders of Gainesville approach the business leaders of Ocala looking for help solving a recurring problem: the Gainesville Regional Airport needs more passengers.
The problem is, the Gainesville airport has too few flights going to too few places to attract much of a crowd from Ocala — or Gainesville, for that matter.
Nonetheless, a task force made up of business leaders from the two communities has been meeting over the past couple of months to once again try and figure out how to get more passengers and, hopefully, more flights in and out of the Gainesville airport.
So far, the task force, picked jointly by the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce and the Ocala/Marion County Chamber and Economic Partnership, agrees the Gainesville airport needs more traffic, passengers and planes. They also agree that because Ocala residents have so many other choices — and the Gainesville airport is on the far northeast side of Gainesville — that not much is likely to change given its present location. For Ocala/Marion County residents, it is not that much farther to go to Orlando or Tampa, where they can fly to just about anywhere in the world, and often on a direct flight and, importantly, for lower fares.
An idea the task force has bandied about is building a new airport between Ocala and Gainesville, providing more convenience to Ocala/Marion County residents and hopefully drawing from a wider region. Again, however, some significant challenges come with that idea.
First, there is the price tag, which some estimate would be $400 million and up. Gainesville has spent millions upon millions in recent years improving its existing airport, and some of that money that is still owed.
Then there is the need for Federal Aviation Administration approval, which would be difficult given the number of airport options already available within less than two hours of Ocala. Besides Tampa and Orlando, there is Jacksonville, Daytona, Sanford and St. Petersburg-Clearwater. And even if FAA approval could be obtained, getting carriers to utilize the new airport would be anything but assured, given the relatively small population of the region.
Finally, when they discuss building a new airport in between Gainesville and Ocala, that really means northern Marion County. We just went through a major public controversy when the state suggested building a highway through the area that is home to the county's horse industry. Imagine the response to a new airport being proposed.
Studying the feasibility of a new airport does no harm and probably will provide valuable data. But we are all but certain what that data will show is a new airport is not feasible and unlikely to come to fruition under the best of circumstances.
If a new regional airport was deemed needed, the Ocala airport makes more sense than building a new one. It has plenty of space, is near Interstate 75, is located in the middle of the Gainesville-Ocala-The Villages population corridor and already has runways capable of landing just about any plane. But then that would not solve Gainesville's problem.
We appreciate the Gainesville business community inviting Ocala into the discussion about the future of their airport. But from where we sit, this is a Gainesville problem and there is not enough money or passengers or political will to lead to the construction of a new regional airport. It would simply be an unwise, indeed unneeded investment.

Q: Formal explication of $dx/dt = v(x)$ implies that $dt/dx=1/v(x)$ The tittle is all about my question.
What is the formal explication of the fact that $dx/dt = v(x)$ implies that $dt/dx=1/v(x)$?
Is that via geometry? analysis? differentiable forms?
Can you give me reasons for that? Thanks.
(Here, $v(x)$ is a function that only depends on $x$, with $x$ a real number)

A: $$x=f(t),\qquad t=f^{-1}(x)$$
$$f(f^{-1}(x))=x=Id(x)$$
If $(f^{-1})'$ exists (the hard part of IFT), then by the chain rule:
$$f'(f^{-1}(x))(f^{-1})'(x)=Id'(x)=1$$
and
$$(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac1{f'(f^{-1}(x))}.$$

Ni/Co-based metal organic frameworks rapidly synthesized in ambient environment for high energy and power hybrid supercapacitors
Fang Xu, Nan Chen, Zhaoyang Fan, Guoping Du
Metal organic framework (MOF)-based electrode materials, which could be rapidly synthesized in ambient environment with low cost but also provide a remarkable high-energy density, are ideal candidates for developing high-performance and cost-effective supercapacitors. Herein, a facile room-temperature solution-phase based method is employed for fast and large-scale synthesis of Ni/Co-based MOFs with low crystallinity, which surprisingly exhibit extraordinary charge storage capability. In particular, the Ni2Co-MOF shows the highest structure disorder and the smallest nanosheet feature size among these MOFs, offers a specific capacity of 2149 mC cm−2 (or 1074.5 C g−1) at a discharge current of 1 mA cm−2, and 1654 mC cm−2 (or 827 C g−1) at 20 mA cm−2. Moreover, with Ni2Co-MOF as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode, hybrid supercapacitors operating at 1.6 V deliver superior energy densities of 66.1 and 41.3 W h kg−1 at power densities of 800 and 8000 W kg−1, respectively. The findings in this study provide a promising electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors, and possibly break a new path toward MOF material synthesis in a cost-effective way but with outstanding charge storage capability.

Marquette Student Government unanimously passed legislation Thursday that aims to improve the advising process at Marquette.
The resolution asks the administration to make quality advising a greater university priority, increase communication to students about Marquette's CheckMarq software, lengthen the advising period beyond one week and increase communication between the multiple advisers students may have.
Sam Schultz, the author of the legislation, an MUSG senator and junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the legislation was inspired by unhappy comments received in recent MUSG surveys about the advising process.
Heinz Schelhammer, a senior MUSG senator in the College of Business Administration, said the administration plays a key role in transforming this legislation into reality.
"We have passed this (legislation), which shows our support of the issue, but it is in the hands of the university's administration to actually make the needed changes," Schelhammer said in an email.
Provost John Pauly said he has been acting as a communication bridge between the administration and MUSG all year.
In the meantime, students must improve the advising process with their own efforts, Schultz said.
Schultz said he has a hard time trying to convince administrators to improve advising when many advisers have their own complaints about students.

Photos from Ó Bhéal, Cork City's six-years-old-and-still-going-strong weekly poetry reading. Ó Bhéal / Paul Casey
An American fiction writer faces a crisis of self-doubt upon finding the poetry open mic of his literary-tourism dreams in Cork, Ireland.
I stepped out of the drizzle into the buttery light of the Long Valley Bar on Winthrop Street in Cork City, Ireland. The pub was quiet. Half a dozen customers stared at a football match on a TV in the corner. I ordered a Smithwick's Irish Ale and a glass of water. "Where's the poetry?" I asked, and the bartender sent me through an empty snug and up a flight of gray stairs to the Hayloft—a second pub above the first. This one stood empty, or nearly so. Ice clicked in my water glass as I took a seat on a wooden bench in a corner beside the untended bar. A young man sat at a table across the small room from mine, munching on salt-and-vinegar Tayto crisps from a plastic bag, sipping a pint of stout, and occasionally wiping a curl of red hair from his eyes. Now and then he picked up his phone to send a text. An older gentleman sat in a corner at the far end of the bar, patting the wisps of white hair atop his head. A microphone loomed on a stand in yet another corner, and the odor of peat smoke floated in on the mist coming through the windows. I nursed my ale and stifled an urge to leave. This is what I came for, I told myself. This is where I belong. But I didn't believe it.
I had flown some four thousand miles to Ireland, to teach travel writing to students from the University of Oklahoma. Back in Norman, in addition to teaching and writing, I serve as co-host of a small yet delightful open mic for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. But here? Here in Cork I was nobody. Or worse: a tourist. Still, when I found out I would spend June in Ireland, my first impulse was not to tick off a list of sights. Rather, immersed as I am in my own open mic, I Googled the phrase "open mic Cork Ireland." This brought up Ó Bhéal, Cork City's six-years-old-and-still-going-strong weekly poetry reading.
I am here to observe, I told myself as I took in the brick-walled room, here to learn. Ó Bhéal was the sort of event our open mic in Norman aspires to become: an indispensible weekly fixture on the local literary scene. Poets are my people. I belong here. Unconvinced, I searched the long, narrow room for a sign. Beneath the windows, a couple dozen books stood on display at the back of a bench. Above the books and between the windows, a pair of framed, yellowed maps hung on the brick wall. Lamps dangled from pulleys in the rafters. Aside from the young man with the crisps, no one knew I was there. I checked my watch. It was 9:17. If the sparse crowd taught me anything, it was that my local open mic's low summer attendance was not an anomaly.
At around 9:20, a man in a forest-green sweater came in to fiddle with the sound system. Voices rose from the stairwell, and by 9:25 fifteen more people had arrived. A man my age—middle-aged, I supposed—shouldered through the gathering crowd and ducked behind the bar to draw pints and pour whiskies.
"I'm not used to getting here so early," a woman nearby said, "but I made a special effort."
By 9:36 the packed pub rumbled with talk of days at work, abandoned poems, writing conferences, and novels in progress. The man in the green sweater introduced the evening's emcee to the evening's featured poet, Pauline Fayne. Surely we were about to begin. Then the emcee set her purse on my table, rolled a cigarette, and strolled outside. I nearly followed her, but stood my ground. Or sat it.
The daunting list of readers on Ó Bhéal's website flashed before my eyes, including many of Ireland's poetry luminaries (Derek Mahon, Rita Ann Higgins, Desmond O'Grady, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill) and England's current poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. And befitting Cork's progressive spirit, these poets read, chat, and imbibe elbow-to-elbow with the locals.
But I was no local, and I'm not a poet. Not really. Fiction is my bread and butter. I write poems because I hang out with poets back home. Ó Bhéal belongs in the poetry big leagues—or perhaps the Poetry Premier League. As my pint of ale dipped well beyond half-empty, I vowed not to pull my silly little poem about drowning Billy Collins from my pocket. Instead, I struck a compromise with self-doubt and let it glue me to the bench. I would sit and listen, nothing more.
In a letter, Charles Baxter once warned a young writer that "feelings of inadequacy are the black-lung disease of writing." Somehow, when I read this in an anthology, Baxter's point hit me with the force of definitive diagnosis for a perplexing ailment. That phrase—the black-lung disease of writing—empowered me to accept myself as a writer. Self-doubt was inevitable. Knowing this cleared space for me to leap over doubts and commit to a writing life. That commitment, in turn, launched an early-thirties career change that sent me back to graduate school and into the company of other good writers, later into teaching, and now to Ireland and this pub.
The scent of warm caramel displaced the peat smoke, and a woman in a black leather jacket sat beside me on the bench. She looked as nervous as I felt, and she didn't make eye contact for a long time. When she glanced my way, I asked if she was a poet. She nodded. I confessed that I wasn't. Another woman leaned over from the bar and asked if she had detected a "North American accent." She had come from Missouri ten years ago, she said, but she lived here now and had just gotten Irish citizenship, in fact.
The emcee took to the mic and managed to quiet the room after five or six attempts. She explained that Ó Bhéal started their evenings with a contest for the best poem written on the spot. Then she solicited "five random words" from the audience—socks, gluttony, spring, absurd, and driving—and gave fifteen minutes for people to write poems. I imagined only a few would do this, but the crowd went silent. Poets of all ages bent over notebooks. The average age hovered around forty, I thought, yet college kids and grandmothers scribbled side by side.
It occurred to me then to write my own poem, more to fit in and fill an awkward silence than to compete. I pulled out my tiny 105x74mm notebook and jotted down the five required words. I kept my pen moving, and soon the words grew into lines.
When conversation revved up again, the emcee—a small woman, even in high-heeled sandals—called an end to our writing period. She mock-seriously explained that the evening's winner would be decided by a precise count of applause, and she invited the first poet to the mic. No one moved.
"Surely someone wrote a poem," she said. "You were all so quiet."
People chuckled, but everyone stayed put.
Finally the émigré from the Show-Me state showed us her poem. A man in his seventies followed. Then came a thoroughly tattooed woman in her early twenties, a younger man in what looked like a fast-food service uniform, and a visiting American college student. She sparked a hearty round of applause that surely put her in the lead. Another awkward silence followed as the emcee called for more poems. Someone nudged the curly ginger guy who was now working on his second bag of crisps. He declined. And, before I could think twice, I broke my vow of silence and walked to the mic.
I stammered an apology for my country's thorough over-representation at this event, and no one in the room smiled. I took a deep breath and read my five-word challenge poem:
After three days of history,
museums, tours, pickpockets,
and gluttony in Dublin,
We paraded our students
like a dozen ducklings
saddled with absurd luggage
five blocks through the rain
to meet our bus.
Only here it was not a bus,
it was a coach, and on it
there was no one to coach us
through driving on the wrong
side of the road.
In an hour we tumbled
from the coach into the mist
at Glendalough
with ninety minutes
to wander through
the mystical rain.
Then we curved south
through the Wicklow Mountains,
through more rain,
and through the odor
of our own wet socks.
The driver said it has rained
like this all spring
and shown no sign of letting up.
He released us to the sidewalk,
to the rain, to find our way
to the dorms.
Someone grumbled about the weather,
the accents, the differences between
Gaelic football, football, and soccer.
Team America has landed.
Be kind to us, Cork. Be kind.
The lines about "absurd luggage" and "the wrong side of the road" drew laughs, and I shuffled back to my seat to whistles and a warm round of applause. The poem was nothing, I knew, but now I didn't feel like an imposter. For a few minutes, at least, I belonged.
Eight or ten more Irish poets followed as I polished off my ale. At least three of those poets were far better than I. I wish I could say I did my best to bolster their rounds of applause, but I was too distracted by the swirl of thoughts that invariably follows a public reading: Did I embarrass myself? Did I sound arrogant? Did people like it? Did my piece even make sense?
In the end, the emcee said the competition was close but "Team America" had edged a couple other strong contenders for the win. All I had to do to claim my prize was return to the mic, say my name, and read the poem again. I accepted the honor on behalf of the University of Oklahoma, which meant nothing to anyone there, then apologized for subjecting them to the poem a second time. Of course, I forgot to say my name, yet the emcee granted my prize anyway: the drink of my choice and a handful of poetry books, including Ó Bhéal's annual Five Word anthology. By this time next year, I learned, I'll be a published poet in Ireland.
We took another ten-minute break for drinks and conversation, during which I was welcomed and congratulated by half the people in the room. The woman in the leather jacket nodded and said, "Good stuff." The former American patted my back. A tall man well into his seventies put a hand on my shoulder and explained the name Ó Bhéal: it means "from the mouth" and refers to an era when the British banned the printing of Gaelic. Irish poems and stories had to be passed along Ó Bhéal. This happened often on the lips of the rebel county of Cork, he assured me.
Later that evening, the featured poet—Pauline Fayne of Dublin—read a selection of pieces from her New and Selected Poems (listen to her reading here). We took yet another ten-minute booze-and-conversation break, then rounded out the night with the open mic (listen to the open mic here). Thirteen delightful poems and one god-awful acoustic-guitar Oasis cover later, I felt more at home at Ó Bhéal than I have anywhere (outside my own house) back in Norman, Oklahoma. As the night drew on, I filled my doubt-blackened lungs with an air that hummed with a roomful of small victories over hesitations and the temptations of silence.
And, as I left the pub and raised my umbrella for the long walk to my apartment in the University College Cork dorms, I vowed to carry the spirit of Ó Bhéal home to Oklahoma. I've suffered through a few long dark nights of the soul since that evening at the Hayloft, doubting whether I have strength enough to carry the absurd luggage of my imagination. Yet I trust that when the moment comes, back in Norman, I'll step up to the mic, and the words will fly from my mouth.
Ó Bhéal Poetry Readings and Open-Mic Nights happen every Monday, well past the official 9:00 p.m. starting time, in the Hayloft above the Long Valley Pub, 10 Winthrop Street, Cork, Ireland.

Perfect for a meaty lunch experience: Restaurant Hatecke & Ustaria (19. November 2020)
Sven | December 6, 2020 | 0 Comments
Somehow I only knew the Hatecke as a butchery and not really as a restaurant but it turns out that it is actually quite nice for lunch. Once you're seated – booking in advance highly recommended – you get a few cold cuts while picking what you want to eat from the menu.
Given we were hungry for lunch, we decided to go for "Il Plat Hatecke (mixed dry meat, 100gr)" (CHF 29.50) which turned out to be quite a large portion of dried, cured meat. And it was admittedly delicious. However, if you are taking this to start (even if you share), you shouldn't also take a starter (as it was definitely too much).
The "Engadine barley soup" (CHF 17.50) is usually coming as a bigger portion but if you ask nicely, they will plate it into two plates so you get a small portion instead of an incredibly huge one. And while it was good, it was definitely not the best barley soup I've tried.
The "tartare de boeuf" (CHF 35.50) is stripped to its essentials. Minced meat, perfectly seasoned to your gusto and absolutely enjoyable. I mean, ultimately, that's what you come for to Hatecke. The meat. And they managed something a lot of restaurants usually don't manage – to provide enough toasted bread and butter in time.
Besides the fact that you have to be quite patient as the serving of the second plate and the third plate really took way too long, the place is nice, in terms of interior design as it is open, light and modern. Plus, the service is friendly, but you really cannot be in a rush over lunch to be able to enjoy and not starting to be stressed out about it. All in all, the Hatecke is a surprisingly great place to have a meaty lunch experience. Definitely recommended.

Known for: Being the first-born son of Bao Xishun and wife Xia Shujuan. Hey, Daddy Bao already gets most of the hype for holding world tecords (Tallest Man In the World, and now, incidentally, Tallest Father), so why bog him down with more accolades?
The way we see it, when you're the newborn child of the world's tallest man (and his cute as crumb cake, average-sized spouse), expectasians can be–dare we say it–impossibly high. We're going to kick off this kid's spankin' new life experience by telling him that he's Amazian no matter what!!! After all, the name Bao reminds us of steamed dumplings, and little dumplings are pretty frickin' awesome.
So there ya go baby, a no-strings huzzah for you. Doubt that's gonna ever happen again. Oh well.
Sungha Jung makes us weep with joy. Is there anyone out there as talented as this boy? He seems to be spiritually one with his axe. How in the world could he slip through the cracks? Look at the way he interprets U2. Now take some time to hear all the songs that he do!


In January of 2018 I began, A New journey and a new phase in my life. After nearly 30 years of working and living as a parish priest, I decided to put that all aside and continue my journey full time as a secular monastic. This is a term I coined in relation to religious monastics who live in close proximity to one another in an enclosure. I have been on the monastic path for a good many years now but only now do I have the freedom to dedicate every day of my life to this new adventure.
Our new community here in Mexico City is called "La Comunidad de San Bonifacio". Named after the famous Bishop-Monk-Missionary to the Germanic Lands who originated in England. His spirit is alive in our new community.
The journey has been slow and deliberate. We celebrate a weekly Liturgy midday at a local midtown Roman Catholic Parish that once housed an ex-pat Community from Hungary. The stained glass windows are all imported from there and the saints are Hungarian. Its a small European style gothic chapel built turn of the century in what was once a burgeoning European and ex-pat neighborhood including many Spanish refugees from the war during the Franco Dictatorship.
It seemed the perfect spot to begin our new Benedictine (ecumenical) Community. We celebrate a liturgy which is based on the midday monastic liturgical celebration of the Jerusalem Community in Europe. This community has nearly a hundred monks and nuns who live separately but pray together daily in the Heart of Cities all over Europe. Their charism is to bring Monastic Life to the Heart of the City where it is most needed.
The move away from parish active life is the adjustment to Benedictine passive life. I maintain the daily schedule of most monastic communities (Vigils, Laudes, Midday, Vespers and Compline). We have our public community liturgy three times a week and gather online for Compline one time a week with people interested in participating in our communal life. One day a week is spent in solitude and prayer at a nearby retreat center run by the Daughters of the Heart of Mary also a very contemporary expression of religious life- they are incognito sisters. They work in the world as professionals but keep their religious identity a secret known by only a few. It is here that I can spend precious time on leisure, and Lectio, which is essential to the Monastic Discipline.
After so many years of being on the clock, learning to live into a life of leisure is far from an easy task. We are taught that our self worth is in our work and in our doing not being. We are also caught up in the complicated net of our own professional identities whatever they are. But when I am no longer practicing full time that identity what am I? Who am I?
It is nearly 8 months since this journey began. Still fresh, still plenty of challenges ahead. When Thomas Merton was a monk there were many new Trappists ventures started in the USA as Gethsemane extended beyond its borders into new uncharted monastic territory. One of those monasteries closed down just this year in Utah. Little did they know that their monastic experiment would be short lived even within a life time.
What is in store for the Community of Saint Boniface? It is hard to say. We have started very small. We are trying hard to be faithful to our vocational calling. Fortunately we have the ongoing support of our Mother Community, The New Benedictine Community in the USA and Europe. That dispersed community of Benedict's Dozen is the ongoing personal support to me as I find it many times isolating and distinct from other models of religious life especially in Mexico. Most religious here are Dominican, Franciscan, Augustinian, and frequently active in schools and education. The Contemplative life is only a slice of their daily bread. We are intentionally a community of prayer and service, trying to live out that benedictine balance of Ora and Labora. Prayer is essential to our daily work as is reflection and contemplation.
Where will this all lead us? Certainly in to new paths and unchartered territories as was the same for Boniface and his small band of Monks. May we follow where we are led, and seek only His guidance.
for all that you are to us.
in our sorrow, you are comfort and peace.

A grinding noise in the knee can be caused by wear and tear over the years. You need to strengthen the muscles around the knee as well as the tendons and ligaments. You should do squats–remember, moderate-weight, high-fatigue F4X training does NOT mandate extreme weights. Keep it moderate to gradually strengthen the area.
Studies also show that one of the best cardio activities for the knees is biking–either stationer or outside.

Dark Horse Comics - Promotional Signing Cards - Various Years
Signing cards are oversize cards created by Dark Horse Comics to advertise their comic books. Given away at different comic conventions, the cards feature covers from comic books on the front. The backs of the cards say "signing card" at the top, and have the Dark Horse logo and the usual trademark information at the bottom. The center of the cards back is left blank to allow comic book artists to sign them for fans. Unfortunately, every convention I have been too, they've had the cards, but no artists there to sign them! Below is a brief checklist of known signing cards. Scans of those I have will be up soon. If you have additional information to contribute to this area, please let me know.
A special thank you to Matt Couch who added significantly to this list, with some great descriptions you can see below. Matt is definitely an expert on signing cards and his help here is greatly appreciated.

DWI Marijuana Test Validity Questioned by AAA
July 31, 2020 gmlaws Leave a comment
DWI and Criminal Defense Lawyers have been trying to get the public's attention about the arbitrary and unreliable methods for testing whether a driver is impaired. While this is regarding DWI marijuana, it's a start. AAA has come out to scrutinize testing and it is hitting the national news as I saw the report on NBC's TODAY SHOW. Below is the article from AZ Central.
WASHINGTON — Motorists are being convicted of driving under the influence of marijuana based on arbitrary state standards that have no connection to whether the driver was actually impaired, says a study by the nation's largest auto club.
The problem is only growing as more states contemplate legalizing the drug. At least three, and possibly as many as 11 states, will vote this fall on ballot measures to legalize marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, or both. Legislation to legalize the drug has also been introduced in a half dozen states.
Currently, six states where medical or recreational marijuana use is legal — Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington — have set specific limits for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, in drivers' blood. But the study by AAA's safety foundation says the limits have no scientific basis and can result in innocent drivers being convicted, and guilty drivers being released.
"There is understandably a strong desire by both lawmakers and the public to create legal limits for marijuana impairment in the same manner we do alcohol," said Marshall Doney, AAA's president and CEO. "In the case of marijuana, this approach is flawed and not supported by scientific research."
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in November that a medical-marijuana card does not authorize a person to drive while impaired but that the card can serve as a defense in a DUI trial.
The defendant has to prove "by a preponderance of the evidence" that the metabolite was at a level that no longer caused impairment. And as the defendants said in their argument, "there is no commonly accepted threshold for identifying such concentrations," the Arizona Supreme Court ruled.
Nine states, including some that have legalized marijuana for medical use, have zero-tolerance laws for driving and marijuana that make not only any presence of THC in a driver's blood illegal, but also the presence of its metabolites, which can linger in a driver's bloodstream for weeks after any impairment has dissipated.
That makes no sense, said Mark A. R. Kleiman, a New York University professor specializing in issues involving drugs and criminal policy. "A law against driving with THC in your bloodstream is not a law you can know you are obeying except by never smoking marijuana or never driving," he said.
The problem is that determining whether someone is DWI marijuana as impaired by marijuana, as opposed to having merely used the drug, is far more complex than the simple and reliable tests that have been developed for alcohol impairment.
The degree to which a driver is impaired by marijuana use depends a lot on the individual, the foundation said. Drivers with relatively high levels of THC in their systems might not be impaired, especially if they are regular users, while others with relatively low levels may be unsafe behind the wheel.
Some drivers may be impaired when they are stopped by police, but by the time their blood is tested they have fallen below the legal threshold because active THC dissipates rapidly for a DWI marijuana case. The average time to collect blood from a suspected driver is often more than two hours because taking a blood sample typically requires a warrant and transport to a police station or hospital, the foundation said.
In addition, frequent marijuana users can exhibit persistent levels of the drug long after use, while THC levels can decline more rapidly among occasional users.
Colorado's 5-nanogram limit for THC in blood "was picked out of thin air by politicians," said Robert Corry, a Denver criminal defense attorney. "Innocent people are convicted of DUI because of this."
Melanie Brinegar, who uses marijuana every day to control back pain, was stopped by police two years ago for having an expired license plate. The officer smelled marijuana and Brinegar acknowledged she had used the drug earlier in the day. Her blood test showed a level of 19 nanograms, well over the state limit. She was arrested and charged with driving while impaired.
Brinegar, 30, who lives in Denver, said she spent the next 13 months working 80 to 90 hours a week to pay for a lawyer to help her fight the charge and eventually was acquitted. People like herself will always test positive for THC whether they are high or not because of their frequent use, she said.
"It took a good amount of my time and my life," she said. "There is still that worry if I get pulled over (again)."
Studies show that using marijuana and driving roughly doubles the risk of a crash, Kleiman said. By comparison, talking on a hands-free cellphone while driving — legal in all states — quadruples crash risk, he said. A blood alcohol content of .12, which is about the median amount in drunken driving cases, increases crash risk by about 15 times, he said.
Driving with "a noisy child in the back of the car" is about as dangerous as using marijuana and driving, Kleiman said.
The exception is when a driver has both been using marijuana and drinking alcohol because the two substances together greatly heighten impairment, he said.

Monks across the country have staged a string of protests since Sunday and witnesses reported security being tightened at temples and monasteries in major cities ahead of Tuesday's anniversary.
Police and plainclothes military intelligence agents reportedly videotaped the protesters in Yangon but took no action against them.
The monks had intended to hold a ceremony at Yangon's Shwedagon pagoda, Myanmar's most important religious site, but authorities closed off access to the compound.
Tightly-controlled by its military rulers, public protest against the government is rare in Myanmar.

However the past month has seen demonstrations spread across the country after the government announced a massive hike in the price of fuel.
In the latest move, the monks are demanding an apology from the government after reports that hundreds were beaten during protests in the town of Pakokku two weeks ago.
Over the last few days Buddhist groups have organised marches in cities and townships across the country, reciting traditional religious chants to ward off evil.
They have threatened to boycott alms from the military and their families, a gesture likely to humiliate the ruling generals.
Giving alms
Giving donations to monks is an important spiritual duty for devout Buddhists.
Alms are given by lay people to monks to nurture merit; the gesture also connects the worshipper to the spirituality the monk represents.
Without such rites a devout Buddhist is seen as losing all chance of attaining nirvana or release from the cycle of rebirth.
Giving alms to monks is considered an important duty of devout Buddhists.
In 1988, Myanmar's monks were credited with helping to rally popular support for a pro-democracy uprising led by student leaders that was crushed by the military, leaving hundreds dead.
Khin Ohmar, the coordinator for Thailand-based Asia Pacific People's Partnership on Burma (APPPB), said monks had always been on the forefront of pro-democracy movements since the days before Myanmar won its independence from Britain.
"It is a tradition in Burma that monks lead protests when there is suffering and violence," she told Al Jazeera.
"To them, the people's wellbeing is important, free from hunger and poverty."
She said people also supported the monks because they are considered the highest moral authority in society.
In a statement a group calling itself "The Alliance of All Burma Buddhist Monks" urged monks to stage peaceful marches on Tuesday in major cities including Yangon and Mandalay, the Thailand-based Irrawaddy magazine reported.
"We are preparing for this [protest]. If all monks agree, we will carry on. The main thing is we have to be united," the magazine run by exiled Myanmar nationals quoted a monk in Myanmar as saying.
Alms boycott

On Sunday the group urged all monks not to accept alms from soldiers.
Earlier this month about 300 monks in Pakokku took a group of 20 government officials hostage to protest the violence against peaceful demonstrations.
A day earlier soldiers had reportedly fired warning shots as they moved in to break up a protest march organised by local monks. It was the first reported case of guns being used since the fuel price protests began.
The officials were later released, but the monks' action gained huge public support.
On Sunday the APPPB reported that about 300 monks in the town of Magwe had boycotted alms offered by members of the pro-government Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), a group said to be behind attacks on several protests.
Khin Ohmar said monks call for an alms boycott when they see violence and injustice.
"This is only the fourth time an alms boycott has happened in Burma. The monks know there is no more food in people's kitchens because the alms and donations have dried up."
"In such situations, Buddhist teachings allow monks to refuse 'tainted' alms from those who use violence and commit injustices against the people."
