A driver of a motor vehicle with a bodily alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent or above is guilty of operating while intoxicated (OWI) or more commonly known as Drunk Driving. The two predominant ways to determine a BAC is from a breath alcohol test or a blood alcohol test. The most common way to determine BAC in a drunk driving prosecution is a breath alcohol test. The only breath alcohol test that can be used as evidence against an accused in Michigan is called a Datamaster. There are two types of Datamasters, the BAC and the newer DMT.
While a blood test is arguably more accurate and reliable, the breath test for BAC is more commonly used because the test is easier to administer, can be used by non medical personnel, is less physically intrusive to the person taking the test and produces results faster. However, under certain circumstances, breath tests can be less than reliable as an accurate measure of BAC.
The Datamaster, a machine used in the police station after a person has been arrested, tests the alcohol content of a person's breath. There are many ways to attack the accuracy and reliabiity of this test. Below are several detailed ways an attorney can challenge the Datamaster test.
The Operators Must be Properly Trained and Certified
First, only certified operators can operate the Datamaster machine. Police departments must train and certify selected officers to operate the Datamaster. There are several classes of operators, covering both preliminary breath test (PBTs) instruments and evidential breath test instruments.
The operators must go through training which consists of one training course that takes one day. Your attorney should always verify that the operator is certified to perform the functions that he or she performed in the Defendant's arrest, and that the operator's certification was current.
It is also important to determine that the offers administered the test strictly pursuant to their training. They often do not. Barton Morris owns their breath operator training manuals for use in confronting the officers about how they are not following the rules. If they are not administering the tests, the test results are not valid, not accurate and not reliable. When a jury or judge sees this it is highly effective in getting cases dismissed.
The Operator Must Observe the Arrestee for Fifteen Minutes Before Administering the Datamaster Test.
Second, according to the Michigan Administrative Rules regarding breath testing, a person may be administered a breath test using the Datamaster machine only after being observed for fifteen minutes by a police officer. During this period, the officer must make sure the person has not smoked, regurgitated, or placed anything in his or her mouth, except for the mouthpiece of the Datamaster machine. Although the officer does not need to stare continuously at the person, he must be close enough to know what the person is doing.
Taking the Datamaster Test
In preparation for the test, the operator must "purge" the machine. During this process, all chambers and internal plumbing are cleansed of any residual substances by surrounding air, which is pulled through the tube and pumped throughout the instrument. After purging, .000 will appear on the display. The operator must be careful because the breath tube can act like a vacuum cleaner and suck in dirt on the counter. Also, if the driver smells like alcohol, the operator should move him or her from the immediate test area until the purging is complete. This can cause a false reading of alcohol.
When taking the test, the driver blows into a straw-like piece attached to the end of a tube that is connected to the table top Datamaster machine. The person is then asked to blow into the tube for a second test. After the first test, a new individually wrapped mouthpiece must be used for the second test. The person can refuse the second test or there may be an instance where a substance is found in the person's mouth that would interfere with the test result. At which point, the officer must observe the arrestee for another 15 minutes and start the test again.
All of this can be seen in the booking video that your attorney should request from the arresting agency.
Obtaining the first test sample is enough to be admitted into evidence. The purpose of obtaining a second sample is to confirm the first sample. Confirmation is critical. However, if a second test is given, it must fall within an acceptable range depending on the reading. If the first two are not within an acceptable range, a third sample must be taken. The amount of acceptable variance depends on how high the results are.
So, another way to challenge the Datamaster test results is if the results are beyond the acceptable variance.
Body Temperature Can Affect the Results
The premise of the Datamaster machine is very technical, using infrared spectroscopy. The simplest explanation of the technology is that a light is beamed through the breath sample chamber. The alcohol molecules are absorbed and a detector at the other end of the chamber measures how much light is left then a computer calculates the amount of alcohol percentage is in the breath sample. In addition, the device is designed and programmed to operate on several assumptions, including that the person has a normal body temperature. The higher the body temperature, the higher the breath alcohol result. This is another defense that your attorney should look into. Officers do not check an arrestee's temperature, but it could certainly have a significant impact on the results.
The Datamaster Must be Properly Calibrated and Maintained
Another way to challenge the Datamaster evidence is if the machine is not checked, tested and calibrated properly. The Datamaster must be simulated at least once a week. The machine is simulated when the officer attaches a device that produces a sample of air similar to the actual test. Instead of a person, the simulator creates the "breath." In Michigan, the approved machines are the BAC Datamaster and the Datamaster DMT. The state awarded a contract in 2008 for the DMT but the DMT wasn't put in service in police stations in Lansing until April 2012. The administrative rules were amended in 2010 to reflect differences between the DMT and the Datamaster. There is no longer a requirement that the check be performed by an appropriate operator because the new machine is designed to conduct a self-check. But, the BAC Datamaster is still in use which requires the calibration by a human operator.
The weekly inspection is intended to verify that the machine is operating accurately. Essentially, calibration involves the operator attaching a separate small device to the Datamaster machine and then breathes into the breath tube of the Datamaster to make sure it works properly. There is an alcohol mix in the simulator device that provides the alcohol readings. The operator must mix his or her own simulator solution for the required weekly tests. The simulator acts literally like a "simulated drunk." He or she must also check for leaks, check simulator temperature, and equilibrate the simulator before using. The simulator must be heated to 34 degrees Celsius. Once the simulator is heated to the proper temperature, the operator must then blow into it vigorously. This is to cool the air above the solution to equilibrate the temperature of the air and solution.
There is a water based ethanol mix in the simulator that provides the alcohol readings. The simulation must result in a sample that is between .076 and .084 grams per 210 liters of "breath." The test must not be high or low. The operator is trained to take up to four tests if there are high or low readings. If after the fourth test the results are still high or low, the operator must notify his or her supervisor; notify a service representative; take the unit out of service only if advised to do so by the service representative; place a sign in the unit noting "OUT OF SERVICE."
All of this must be recorded in the simulator log book to ensure accurate simulations.
As soon as you contact an attorney's office after your arrest, he or she should submit a request with the arresting police department for these logs. The attorney should then inspect the logs to ensure that the Datamaster machine was properly calibrated each week.
Examination of the maintenance records frequently discovers the police agency is sloppy with their simulation protocols, record keeping and the often ignore error messages produced by the instrument. The inability of the police to properly maintain their Datamaster can be very effective in demonstrating to a jury that a measurement is not reliable.
Each Machine Must be Tested Every 120 Days
The machine must also go through a more thorough inspection every 120 days. The 120 day inspection can only be conducted by a specific class operator or authorized representative of the manufacturer. For this 120 day test, the operator must check for accuracy at three different breath alcohol levels: .040, .080 and .200. The operator must also check for acetone interference, radio interference, the time and date on the instrument and that the thermometer is working.
Your lawyer should always order the 120 day maintenance records to verify the notes by the operator when he or she signs the calibration logs.
Chemical Interference and Breath Alcohol v. Mouth Alcohol
If the Datamaster detects a chemical substance other than ethanol, the test should be stopped and the printout should indicate "INTERFERENCE DETECTED." The operator should start a new 15-minute observation period and go through the test procedure again.
There are different types of alcohol that could cause interference. Ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol and isopropanol are three of the most common. Ethyl alcohol is what is in alcoholic beverages, isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol and methyl alcohol is the simplest form of alcohol that is used in industrial processes.
The Datamaster assumes that the only volatile compound in the person's breath is ethanol. Although it is supposed to be designed to detect other chemicals and produce an interference, the Datamaster is not, in fact, sophisticated enough to determine whether the compound that is reacting to the infrared beam is one of the other forms of alcohol. For example, if a person deals with alcohol for manufacturing and industrial purposes and that alcohol is on that person's body, hands or clothing, it can factor into the alcohol reading on the Datamaster.
Breath alcohol is from deep lung air while mouth alcohol is what's left over in your mouth if you were to use mouth wash with alcohol.
To assure mouth alcohol is not present when giving the breath tests, most regulations require a fifteen minute direct observation of the test subject to assure any mouth alcohol from consumption has been eliminated, as discussed above. The concern for elimination of mouth alcohol is based upon the theory that mouth alcohol can be measured as breath alcohol and therefore invalidates the breath alcohol test results.
Radio Frequency Interference
If the Datamaster detects any radio transmissions in the area that could interfere with a test result, the test should be stopped. Both the display and the printout should indicate "RADIO INTERFERENCE." After the interference is gone, the operator must press the "run" key to initiate a new test. A new 15 minute observation period is not necessary.
Sometimes, cell phones are being used in the booking room at the same time that the breath test is being administered. The problem is that cell phones create radio waves, and these waves can interfere with the breath test. Your lawyer should always order the booking videos to see if a cell phone was being used at the time of the breath test, and challenge the test on those grounds.
Human Physiological Defenses
Many people have pre existing medical conditions or circumstances that preclude an accurate and reliable breath alcohol analysis. A breath test should not be performed to people with the following conditions:
Diabetes – If suffering from low blood sugar a diabetic could be in a state of ketoacidosis elevating the amount of acetone in their blood which can be mistaken for ethanol by the Datamaster
Hypoglycemia – Same possible ketoacidosis defense.
Active and persistent Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder (GERD) – Causes alcohol to be expelled from the stomach and enters the mouth at which point can be blown into the Datamaster provided an analysis of mouth alcohol and not breath alcohol
Recent traffic accident with injury to mouth or head – Any possible blood in the mouth will possibly cause a mouth alcohol reading and not a breath alcohol analysis.
Recent and persistent regurgitation for any reason causing mouth alcohol to be tested instead of breath alcohol.
Dentures, mouth guards or dental issues that may trap alcohol in the mouth creating inaccurate breath alcohol testing.

Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
From the league's front. River runs this season we're Wisconsin sports fans cone stood tall but still Michael's you know. Did a cheerio up guns. And happy Valentine's Day. No Joseph and I did not exchange gives today. There was no love lotions. You're not going in dress today is cupid. No couple's massage is not a bad it's just happy Valentine's Day to you and yours. And that's about the extent. Just thought we throw that out there because there is no bigger person we would rather love. Then third base coach of the Milwaukee Brewers. Ed cedar who has volunteered to come and give us a rubbed on the day and we said Eddie you have to report to Arizona are you better get there instead of you agree that he I don't body. Great happy Valentine's Day all Arabs at night I mean I'm glad I was able to get out before Joseph mum. I have that he would now like David that way out rate to implement it might have been wait like you didn't tell us you know there's not an Alford told Barbara Gardner who actually yeah cajoled Bob yeah ball well. Now about that you have. When you get those kind of calls you know you made the big time I'm off to the Smithsonian web site that brought here this is a saw any of embody. Dealer wow did get a guy get this they started doubt and Arizona actually we have like. This is reporting David there's already thirteen both had scheduled the day on that they're back watching the market handle it all the baseball ready or to this strings activities as well as it. Certain get a catching gear I guess he has not a tackle such as well. Maybe he is practicing putting is catching your. What are uncertain market action I'm sure he does stuff with some actors and Osce. I don't think you need to practice Buck McKeon I. I got to ask you go with everything that's gone on I don't think they say hey Eddie by the way were making these trades are gonna pick his Kevin free agency so you probably find out like like a lot of the rest of us. My question is. What what are your thoughts for the deals that have been made in the players that have been brought in Sigalet brands obtained come back to the organization. Just little wanted to send. Improved. Tremendously I know people talked about you out there. Both him and Alex Erica I'm based. 82 batting average eight there's not like but it Oslo. He had a brain around just improved you know that he'd ball all over I mean the pitchers get battered into the east and just excess. Even a better. All with the putting now you work well a lot with the outfielders the fact that you've now got is just plethora of talent. I don't know wrong acknowledge have to work any less you but you all of a Sunday kind of sit back and go OK I'll I got to do is Jim if you tendencies because this is gonna be good right. Also hopefully that's the way it works that's not maybe I'll be looking or yeah I don't know maybe I'll go into maybe 200 going onsite it. Bitumen from radio show host words. I felt that it. Yeah because I actually ideology and I. Player not against them you know against that Lauren McCain of course I got amount rookie Dexter the other one in my house and play off genes as my right steel barrel what planet along time ago not. Yeah I would like to have guys report like that let's just get ready to improve the team at all. Do you use do you look at this team as vastly improved do you just think you've built a little bit of on what you guys do leisure levied because obviously Jameer Nelson not ready go and you're still waiting to see if there's gonna be something done regarding starting pitching. So I just cuddle wanna know how much better do you think this team is. It and then also always in reality to what the Yu Darvish yielded for the cubs. You know I how tight do you think essentials going to be I mean sometimes luck and health just play into what I got that but sitting on paper. Is there this load of optimism going into the season or do you feel like you're still in the midst of a rebuilt. Well now there's not a plan a lot of optimism and I'd like he's in the cubs are nose you know they'll be the usual teams are battle against them. Now we're very optimistic. Like I said he'd be a lot of the old not look last year you know a lot. Eager young guys or us old guys had good years they have to meet peak he's actually out at. You know whenever any keydets two gold glove that's pretty good like I stated that yet 2 o'clock tonight secure automatic automatically making your pitching staff at our. And that he no word tomorrow they wanna spring training you don't know what our roster or what happened and maybe he's. Edit or injuries that people coming back late Chinese you don't know where you're gonna have that. You know and the spraying them as they're called like every year those aren't surprised does that usually good surprises. It was what it's like first couple of days attorney can't take us inside take us inside Boris complex. Brewers' complex campaign that leave the gate here like about 8 o'clock practiced today law and it just. You know arm it's called the report eight. The guys that are richer report actually real Turkey bowl and a yeah. Talk about optimism and people coming here China. You ready for the start of spring training to our games start a little earlier this year. That's a pretty good group of on the there's Turkey catches doable and today got almost all seal up that system players here already when they're reporting dated anybody here. Or five more a result. It's kind of nice to see I can remember and I look back at the 2008 achievement we opened spring training for pitchers and catchers. Everywhere but here it turned out it's. You know kind of. Even got to try to get aired by the people that I see already out just walked in and see Travis Dahl. Irritated. You don't. Bird or course I'll catch is that they've got to be immediately but I don't have a good group of guys that are you hurt you don't gotta gotta go out take every practice at 10 o'clock. And now I'm ready here. Here are our that it can't get at that apple meet with the grounds keeper let them know where Delaware and of course there's rain in the staying. Forecasts for a Ramallah I Redknapp and we could cover about stadium you know that doesn't rain weakened yen at least some of our practice and Ramallah to import and each child so it has been at least a busy here ulcers or lightly or eight dollar. Yeah I arrived I've been here five days already. On Sunday. Came on Sunday. Come on Saturday about got the late side districts under the title now Amanda. Yeah actually betting here fly a client note while ironing out judge goes. It's not ready don't know her meeting sought. Patty Duke quite a bit a stop before we actually. Actually stepped onto the field. I led seater Milwaukee Brewers third base coach and I wanted to ask you about Major League baseball's quest to speed up games and we talk about this every year. As far as pace of play goes. Let me ask you this first and foremost do they need to speed up the games is the pace now I granted it was for our post season games. But do they need to speed up the pace of play your opinion. They enter. I looked so it's so just. I don't know because sometimes earns. Some big balls and you don't GameStop and shut out can be spat out where. We'll see what they come out let's all try it I know they need that in in Arizona politics or years you know trying to do some of steel up on batteries can't get out. Like at pitchers got a well. The sense that the period of time has. And and really we I think our meeting that Joseph Torre's coming out you. Atlanta saying Monday so Orkut all exactly what's going. Yeah anytime you can. Make it more enjoy all we're saying that he no more rapid fire I think it over the heat get out and under are sometimes and based on where you do have to stop acting don't take a draft so we'll see how that works out like a senate they've been trying to do stops were quite some time now but like he's just for our games that. And kittens pretty long par four hour nine inning game. Is it just as simple as putting a clock pitch clock out there I mean did that does that released character everything. Yeah I would think they you know as a kind of you know when you think it dates are you think and all the other. You don't think about all the other sports editor what are they have them passed them on stuff like that where are. Immunity knowledge haven't and other evidence they've been able. You don't like an associate. Maybe we can make strides in that direction. Yeah I don't understand why there's a reluctance to Irving are the players are reluctant to. A pitch clock or or certain pitchers are reluctant to pitch I don't understand where the the animosity towards an actual pitch clock is coming out. Yeah I don't know either. Well it's I don't know I really don't know under but I led yeah I I have no idea I know shut it just like to take your time some guys like to get the bomb go get. The bottom dollar and yeah I don't know what's. I guess not that that's what makes baseball baseball bat I'm sure they're gonna try to seeing that. He did the right way of what you let happen. Ed before we let you go one more thing in that is going into this season a lot of expectation to build upon what you guys did last year now I've heard all kinds of things about this group being a loose group a tight knit group. Oh like nothing phases them coming into this year with the expectation do you. And I'm because they're not altogether so it's hard to do this has been do you get the sense that this team would feel any kind of pressure at all. I would say no but that Nikes at last year we went and what not and the expectations. Are now on the also you have expectations completely outside the we'll see what we get but I read I read. I was a betting man I'd at a pretty good on amount and it beat jags and jets jets are a lot about that in just call and people are tired of our age connected with each other there haven't I'm trying to kick each other it's kind of. Kind of area. The restructuring just you don't even in the dugout you know those little celebrations they come out lest our locker room and stopped and goes on it's pretty impression. We always good we'll chat again soon I'm sure enjoy spring training and in less than a month we'll see out there as well okay. I'll purple you go to great. Well our buddy talk deal later they go ahead cedar third base coach of the brewers joining us for couple minutes on the shiner orange out Schneider awards highlight. Harry drivers right now I got to do is get McCauley 144 try to go to Schneider jobs dot com 844 try to go to Schneider jobs dot com do you feel Major League Baseball. Mis disputed up more than Michael showed next. Everywhere he Wisconsin and the film Michael sports talk networks. Can see that's up where. We'll see what they've come out west well try it I know ladies and in the Arizona fall league for years you know trying to do. Some of us here for about batteries can get out like that to just shut up well. But and that's the area that time does that but haven't really we I think are meeting with Joseph Torre's coming out. Atlanta's saying Monday sort of all by exactly what skull and yeah any time you can. Make it more enjoy forward things you don't more rapid fire I think it'll be jeopardy and that there are sometimes than baseball or you do have to step back you know take a breath so we'll see how that works out like us so they've been trying to do stuff for quite some time now about like he's just for our games that. A kitten for Milan or four hour nine inning game. Lot of guys in the program and Michael should always on the air we are glad to have you thanks so much has always were take a listen to those who surely appreciated 8558308648855830864. Rate on loans by Kim dotcom told free talk line. This doesn't testing the waters here do you think Major League Baseball has a speed issue. Let's be honest OK everybody knows you go to a game it's pretty much going to be. And it's going to be a three hour voted. You get much past that stirs to become that not. Now and at the road. We're going to well gonna get on the road beat the traffic that type of thing. To beat the traffic and I gonna start heading out you know before the rest of the crowd listened to it on the way home that type of thing. All that stuff starts to happen. 85583086. Voices really baseball and reality. Have a speed issue. Do they need to speed up the game. Does that have to happen. For you to enjoy baseball more. What would make baseball. More enjoyable. And might be a better answer. Yeah I I think baseball what we saw in the post season was ridiculous. Completely an artery utterly ridiculous. To have games go that long. Is stupid. It really has it doesn't benefit anybody you're younger audiences didn't get a chance to see the World Series. See the greatest moment in your sport. You're younger audiences that you won a cultivate that you want them to see and witness in. Feel those moments. So they can aspire to grow and be back. Did you get to get a chance to see when your when when your games are concluding. At midnight. 12:30 eastern time. That's that's terrible you can't do that. And to meet. I I think gave it only hurts itself baseball still thriving don't any wrong Mata terribly thriving the ratings are pretty good. Well I think I remember the date when they had World Series and playoff games during the day. They would started noon or 1 o'clock you'll quote businessman's special so to speak the politically incorrect world. When Harry are always some of those games started 1 o'clock 2 o'clock 3 o'clock. And not 8830 at night. Eastern time and they were getting over at almost 11 o'clock central time midnight eastern time. Your big markets but. You know you've got you you've got New York. You've got the bigger market of Chicago. Bigger mark to market like Philadelphia. Miami. Cleveland. In those Jerry Boston all in those areas are all. Midnight. You lose a listen you use lose and viewers. As a quarter teams and then I think everybody's in on a that being said I inning baseball during its over the service. And I am I am hell bent on seeing them put a right to things I think that would improve baseball and I don't know why I'm the only one to think that it. Or the only one really pressed for. One is. Good the clock you just got to put up. Okay put one on the scoreboard just below the scoreboard. New batter's eye in the other one has to be behind home plate. The diet that I think is a given. And the second thing is stop with the instant replay crap. Stoppage. If you re playing everything you did two challenges that sit when did did become. Every play that was close has to be viewed reviewed why can't they just put one guy in the damn Booth just like you do an input in college football. It's a quick answer replay and it it's even remotely questionable he buzz is the home plate umpire. Otherwise the play goes on stop with instant replay every close play it's just. It's it's just stupid. It's bad for the game. To see this guy continually run out with a headset. Ron Al would get would not headsets in microphones for two umpires. And then they sit there and stand around and wait we can all see it time and again. And our homes. And and it's finally give us the obvious. It just it doesn't make sense just put one guy from Major League Baseball higher eaten create 32 jobs their job is to be in that city. These two. More travel like umpire. At a fifth umpire where he goes into the Booth he looks at things says yes you know. And if it's close was the umpire down below and say give me a second owner reviews. Just give me an extra second. As we see instant replay turn around now in a matter of maybe three to 52. So if it's close to where you really need to take a look at it buzz buzz the umpire. I'm beyond that can't stop with a all the crap in baseball it's become too complicated. And it it takes away from the one of the game does baseball have a speed issue. 85583086488. By 583086. Foray on the loans by Kim dotcom to hold free talk why we love to hear from him. Because I I think Major League Baseball should just limit the trips the mound. They should end up putting ish old you know pitch clock and go to the buzzer just beyond that who cares. She committee says it getting rid of the ticket tag instant replay that's ruining the game I couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. AB says there will be a limited trips to the mound allow X number of trips per nine innings much like time outs in the NFL. On. You know while the white mama says MM LB had speed issues in the seventies and eighties yes but that came in the form of appeal. Known as Greece. Badger Max says absolutely they've got to speed issue. You can't take your kid to a ball game anymore you're always leaving in the seventh inning going OK we'll listen to on the way home. And by the time you're on your kids asleep. I like to enjoy baseball at my son the only games that I can really go to enjoy a game with him is going on Sunday afternoons now I've quit buying games for the week. Tony says I think baseball's become long and boring and they can't get on their own way to keep mowing and up. Andrew basically says the same thing. Pace of play some of these pitchers are called human rain delays there's a reason why because they take too much damn time habitation that long to get yourself together. You should be on the dam on the begin. 85583086488. By 5830. 864 discourse in the program brought to by our good friends and cousins out with a Lebanese back don't forget. Wanna stop any doubt one though limited time only download the app on your apple your android phone or go to cousins subs dot com cousins of dot com. Where they believe in better with the for a limited time it is the Reuben. That is back go to TJ TJ Greenfield I don't nobody let's go from there. They don't call. I'd Wear such give it to me in our society and that's not what baseball is baseball. It was a long game. I can get rid of the reap where. Could care less whether you know guys in the vicinity of the debate or whether actually Kutcher you know whatever that is I think that rules ordered it. Arm. I know we'll see you shortly up a game. As far as having. It's Clark river. OP wanna have if you shorted it I admit or you're really gonna gain. And look how little more and you could shorten the game and gave remedies they're together shored up by like an hour or have already that. Nearly impossible if not possible. I don't mind if they shorted by ten or fifteen minutes it's before our games specifically in the post season that became ridiculous. Sure you know what that's what you do with coaching changes in. You know I agree with step Arafat's this year was every time to a really loosen up when you take all right I you know let's. That's ridiculous Nomar Garciaparra is our belief now we don't need a border. All kind of spell where you are right. Most of what you're close but. This course that I I conceded that I gave. You know speeded up a little bit when you're not gonna do a whole lot of fans buy all your own we saved four minute. Eighteen minutes over all the years. Market economics and by what. I appreciate the phone call I don't think it's a matter of five minutes a game. Blight when you take the grand scheme the thing about this from him if you take the grand scheme. Of a minute or two an inning. Think about what can transpire in a minute Major League Baseball. How much quicker became wolf peel. If you know what I mean. I mean just think about their permit and grand scheme of things if you count a minute. It admit it is a eight. They deceptively long time when it comes to Major League Baseball again if you can shorten the game baseball like ten minutes or shorty short each inning by inning by a minute now big innings and big offensive outputs and explosions so that's gonna change again. But if you're talking insisting continual action. Which is why. Into let's be honest than today's day and age. That's what people want. People are getting visual stimulation everywhere why you think it would ribbon boards in baseball stadiums. Because they're trying to be usually stimulated. Party time you go onto a stadium that's a little bit older even though it's someone of a new stadium a Progressive Field. Or like the the new version of Kaminsky. When White Sox. You know they're always adding something to visually stimulate you. The chain of putting different colors up remember they there for a long time there's no ever touching on the outfield walls now they do. There's different colors out there they want you. Tutu of bouquets. And have so much to stimulate your senses to make you feel that why do they do what it casinos if that's exact reason why. If certain music certain lights. Certain sounds things like that that continually. Stimulate your senses to make you sell one more to make you have to have to pay attention. It's all about marketing it's all about the subliminal within your own mind. That's what they otherwise what they do step in between innings now. There's always something there is the crazy cap shelf or hiding the ball in the sausage races and trivia and mean they're always doing something to stimulate the market. That's why they do.

Yeah. Eight. You're looking for your. Tom I have no idea what you call in a teacher like. Now I I told vote read her mind and was ordered. Okay sorry about even not even close guys see us about the idea. Look at what happened or I'm sure would appreciate audio all right there you go easy within a family there you go it's a joke. Albert caller about meeting up. And it makes it really hard for me to watch it on in. And I'm and I got but at at the unit. Well here and you know look at your. Look at her on the infield I think of they would. Underweight it just keep a batter in the batter's box. You know interest and can drag out to a remember mr. game like he would bargain up rigor of the brewer. Are you with the flow and immediately in the US. It was like load watch me. So much time between enter. And it ends up or because of that the bankers just by the time we finally dropped at. They were already off the ball their street and up. And night he had a very good record for like fifteen. And and yet he then it was a region that in the year he didn't sign with anywhere. And I suspect in that I've been to do it just how long term and at that. Whether they could find a way to get the batters to just did there and I mean. We abolished it. All at a level or alive it's not rocket. It's hand eye coordination is I'm. Level of mental ability by. If you'd just. Shouldn't have wait for that I had to go through that whole lot of ritual if you remember Mike Hargrove what the Cleveland Indians. The worst I can remember ever. He would turn and and a minute it entered. You know yeah it was period he had one out walk because the picture eventually would lose in. Orbit the. Yep no I I completely got it. Understood. Our. Our buddy he's joked I deserved. It doesn't don't I would look at. How they hell you gave Joseph the Tony. That's what I wanna know. All right let's go it's about the book cause doctor Susan losing to was in Florida Susan I don't know what's going on. I'm doing well how are you won't work don't wanna area. I think I did make a comment on May play. I'm walking native I grew up there was great they are moved to Florida twenty years now. Now and we're looking at what happened here in Florida. You know a comic or about younger generation and interest in the game and really losing. These younger athlete. Out here Florida. Nobody's interest and they are now we've got beat Ali act on it while me and it. And sometimes they overlap and when they have to make it right. They will never actually they pop they pilots floundering. Even here with the rate in the national interest and it and gained huge break. I can understand that reality I believe neck if they didn't expect immediate reality. I'm like younger athlete is not in that they my grandkids. You know like they walked two while and that apple. I think we need good off when not need to get all while I play. Well run they hit the ball picture runners around but little action in the intense. As. And patent happy chart and I'm migration Ali that if he and lieutenant emulation. Yeah I get up and I can your college in port and with a battered and battered. I've been looking at and go up you know put actually what the bad acting the back. Don't outfielder and you're in elated when they're at a concentration out there waiting for something happen. We had a mechanical and not a little bit. ET can I mean gave him appreciate the focal thanks for the perspective. Because she's obviously down in Tampa and down their nearer to him they rate country where I agree I mean I think the trop has been. For the success of the rays have had now presidential medal out there has been the same but it. Austin for the success of the rays had specifically when man was there they could evens they still couldn't get people. That is of the that is. That is of a bad baseball market. Miami Heat on the other hand when they were winning and the Marlins were good. They ever shown up it's the fact that affected they have not had faith in ownership down there a long time. And every time they just start to turn things around. It seemed like they just end up just carry it all back down again and and it takes away any hope you may or may not have. Now the new stadium did didn't go over well down there was kind of forced down their throats and they were upset about that. And had they come in the end as many times you come into a new stadium. You start to win people how to get excited about the stadium people get excited about the team. Things begin to happen unfortunately. They never did they really win there a couple of guys in Kabul stars in a tragedy. That happened down there as well. Then some of their bigger names he traded away so it's it has not been a good baseball market in recent history either. Unfortunately. 855830864. We'll get back on the phone calls thought Jacksonville Michael jump. You're listening to the bill might school's sports talk that. Work. So why don't show on the air we are glad you're here thanks so much for take a listen do we certainly appreciate it. 855830864. Rate on the loans we kept our council rhetorical a Major League Baseball. Talking again. Again about possibly speeding up the game in some way shape or form and I just keeps saying to them what in that hell is so different called. About simply putting out a pitch clock. And putting one person up in the Booth. That gets a chance to look at the replay and buzz is the home plate umpire if there is a question other than that take all the challenges all the garbage out of baseball. Just give back the plane the damn game in southeast for our post season games it's not hard. It really is it not only is nobody has explained to me the ramifications. Of either of these things being implemented. The president. Decided ever call will be cut the game by 1015. Minutes it actually does becoming more. Action packed type of game I don't it's hard to believe but it won't give it will speed pitching up in a religion or no hitter quicker. If phi you do have big innings it gives you more and more opportunity to see scoring in the C guy Sweeney and see guys putting balls in play and see more action on the field. And when you think of it in that realm it just. I don't know why this is so difficult a Major League Baseball continually. Over thinks it's. Go to Brian White Hall listening to us and Rudy KTY Brian I don't an email what's going on. Pretty good ball rolled all lets up. All I'd be glad you called but that it in the batter's box. One of the solutions are good public well what you'd get maybe twelve threes that's boxing like if you draw. If you need to adjust your bones are. We brought in to a pitching to a strong and get a chance to recover your soul. Or you get a check of its courtship because it nor is a different well I called yeah. But one thing net of it is it's clock a little when the pictures lot in between that you've done a little bit different conditioning because ought to pictures. One who didn't make it such a long time between pitches and get armrest. We gave them a little bit a little bit of breaking if you get sort of a lot of problems which caught. I think pitches and with a little bit harder time getting through the six defendants. Also all of this and then these birds eating good as far as World Series will play out I agree with having big gains because. At all when they told screen or maybe like second or third or fourth in war issue is not in doubt. We're both teams had a chance yet nobody couple big gains will just break up or that a fact. One of those little mud that they all of these loans. I kept me homesickness school. The year of the Orioles in the red playing in the series and I assumed it was but at some point in my life is of the problems. Based. It just create important the interest in the game for the rest your life and know that. And I games I can see why we are in quote not let that lead the people on the East Coast. When there's a large base interest not a stand up to 12:1 o'clock in the morning. Nine I completely real art and realize the revolution is important but. Played a game orbit early give everybody else a chance to finish watching it while having a missile or normal schedule. Yeah now I I completely agree appreciate the phone call I remember. Watching games now granted he you know some people say is bad and I remember teachers watching games and school. Watching playoff games and school are remember getting home watching it day game on a Saturday. I remember Thursday day games are Wednesday due to quote businessman's special today you can't call it you just called. You know the good day game or whatever it is they wanna call it might regardless I remember. Watching baseball and growing up it. Anxious. To see baseball in that realm because of that. In today's day and age I couldn't do it. No it. Mom won us embedded when we dog the dog was a great wealth sixth grade maybe mama's mourners in bed at 93010 o'clock after that it was eleven at the latest. On the on the East Coast time in today's stage I'd miss allied miss I don't know about the fifth inning and just rest of the games. Be waking up the next day. Who won I get to see it all walk off fighting get to see it OK great. Good I'd take a quick break. Come back. Bucs get a win last night. College football while attendance is down. We'll talk some more baseball. Got a lot coming up stay do mortal Michael should act. He ordered to. Film Michael's voice talking network.

Frank Grillo Not Returning to 'Purge'?
It's hard to tell what's what when it comes to celebrity press. What's real or smokescreen, or what is a negotiating tactic?
Frank Grillo has become the staple of Universal Pictures' The Purge franchise. While the introductory film was hugely disappointing, Grillo helped deliver a mean-street '80s vibe to the excellent sequel, Anarchy. And even though this past summer's Election Year wasn't very good, it was still a huge box office success. Thus, Universal will continue to move forth, possibly with a television series. But will Grillo?
"It is what it is, but it's great. It's fun. After 'Anarchy', Universal called me and said, 'You've got a franchise. We're gonna continue with this, if you wanna do this.' I was like, 'Yeah, this is great!' And so, when 'Election Year' was even more successful, they were like, 'Let's keep doing this!' I was like, 'Maybe. I think I might be done, but you should keep doing it!' But, I love it!" Grillo told Collider. "[James] DeMonaco, who wrote and directed all of them, reminds me a lot of (Kingdom creator/showrunner) Byron [Balasco], in the sense that he so understands the world he's created that you just follow him. For an actor, that's fun."
If you were to remove Grillo from either Anarchy or Election Year, I'm not quite sure they'd be worth anything. He truly is the power behind both films and it's going to be hard for Universal to find another actor of his caliber willing to jump into the fourth film of a franchise. I'm sure he knows this and it's just a way for him to publicly say, "Pay me or no way." Plus, if he does decide to return he's a goddamn hero.
If only he had 24 hours to decide…

This thesis is a research project under Prof. Frank G. Karioris and Dr. Kenneth S. Mendelson to investigate and to determine the effect of lattice size and of anisotropy on the values obtained for percolation threshold and the critical exponents. Measurements of the electrical resistance along the two principal directions of the network are made for a sequence of fractions of filled sites for each of six sizes of the array . The resistance network acts as an analog computer which instantly solves the N2 simultaneous equations each time the state of any site or groups of sites is changed. The solution is read directly on a digital ohmmeter. Xerox Sigma 9 computer was used in the generation of random numbers and in the analysis, reduction and interpretation of experimental data. There are two rather unique aspects in this study: (1) measurements of conductivities have been made throughout the range in which any conduction occurs on at least 17 samples of a finite sized array, and (2) six different array sizes have been studied. We are not aware of any other studies in the literature in which parameters have been studied over such a range. In many instances data reported here is displayed on three decades of log-log paper whereas most reports in the literature cover approximately one decade. Error bars are used frequently to illustrate the large variance which is observed in conductivity data near the threshold. I~ all instance the values of parameters generated in this study agree very well with values reported in the literature.

Manuscript Document (not Burrs hand, but an original written at the time). Account of Debts to the Manhattan Company, ca. July 20, 1802. 2 pp. 8 x 13 in.
Available as part of The Alexander Hamilton Collection
Aaron Burr founded the Manhattan Company in 1799, purportedly to bring clean water to Manhattan to combat a yellow fever epidemic, though only 5% of its capital was used for that purpose. Burr included in its charter a clause allowing surplus capital to be used for banking operations; 95% of the $2,000,000 raised was employed competing with the Bank of New York (founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1784) and the N.Y. branch of the Bank of the United States.
Although Burr earned large fees from his law practice, he spent lavishly, and debt negotiations took much of his time. Between 1799 and 1802, Burr borrowed $61,440 from the Manhattan Company. (In December 1800, Alexander Hamilton wrote that Burr, then the Vice President-elect, "is bankrupt beyond redemption except by the plunder of his country.") This 1802 summary shows Burr's total debt to the Company of $64,908.63. Against this, Burr had assigned as security nine mortgages and a promissory note of $5,500 - still $7,000 less than the debt.

The Great Emancipator the first Subject in Alexander Gardners Washington, D.C. Studio on August 9, 1863, the Day Before it Opened to the Public
Imperial photo from original Alexander Gardner negative taken on August 9, 1863, the day before the official opening of Gardners Washington, D.C. studio. Printed by M. P. Rice, from Gardners original plate, ca. 1901, with Rices copyright notice near bottom right. 13¾ x 16⅝ in. visible; framed 24¾ x 28⅝ in. Ostendorf pose O-71C. Though this just missed being printed in the 19th century, very few photographs of Lincoln of this rare size and clarity survive.

"All persons held as slaves within said designated States
and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free."
A New York Newspaper Prints Lincolns Cooper Union Speech on the Front Page
Newspaper. New York Semi-Weekly Tribune, New York, N.Y., February 28, 1860, 8 pp., disbound. The complete text of Lincolns speech is printed under the headline: NATIONAL POLITICS, A Speech, Delivered at the Cooper Institute Last Evening, by, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois.
"Let us have faith that right makes might."
Abraham Lincoln explains why he cant fire a treasonous officer.
Autograph Letter Signed as President (A. Lincoln), December 28, 1861, Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C., to Henry Liebenau, Esq. 1 page, 5 x 8 in.
"The appeal must be made, if at all, to the Governor."
The Only Abraham Lincoln Letter to his Fiancée Mary Owens Still in Private HandsLong on Politics, Short on Love
Autograph Letter Signed, to Mary S. Owens, December 13, 1836, 2 pp., 9¾ x 7¾ in.
"Write back as soon as you get this, and if possible say something that will please me, for really I have not been pleased since I left you."
Here, Lincoln perfectly demonstrates what Owens later described as deficiencies "in those little links which make up the chain of a woman's happiness." Rather than expressing his feelings for Owens, Lincoln complains about his health and discusses political issues swirling in the Illinois General Assembly. Although inept at love, the letter offers rare insight into the young representative's thoughts on a variety of political issues. In this highly important letter to Mary Owens, a self-absorbed Lincoln complains to his potential spouse of his health, both physical and mental, and discusses political issues to the point that he describes his own letter as "dry and stupid." Perhaps more revealing than he realized, it illustrates the tension in Lincoln's early life between matters of the head, with which he was comfortable, and matters of the heart, with which he clearly was not.
The Emancipation Proclamation, Gen. Orders No. 1, First Edition of First War Department Printing, Bound with First Editions of Gen. Orders 2-201, Jan. to June 1863
Printed Document. Emancipation Proclamation. Signed in type by Lincoln, Secretary of State William H. Seward, and Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas. General Order No. 1, War Department, Adjutant Generals Office, Washington January 2, 1863, 3pp., intended for all military commanders in the field. Dated in print January 2, but, consistent with the time it normally took for military orders to be published, it likely came out closer to January 7. Earlier separate printings are very seldom available. (Eberstadt: Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation # 12.)Bound together for Army paymaster Major N.S. Brinton with a 26-page handwritten subject index followed by separately printed and paginated orders from Jan. 1 to June 30, 1863. Brinton or a clerk apparently wrote the index as the orders were received. Since a printed index would have been available soon after the last order, it was likely bound in 1863. This sammelband also contains General Orders Affecting the Volunteer Force, Adjutant Generals Office, 1862. Washington: Government Printing office, [ca. March] 1863, with printed subject index, pp I LVI, and pages 1-158.
"All persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free."
Also Bound with an 1863 Compilation of General Orders Affecting the Volunteer Force… for Jan. to June 1862, including the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.
Broadsheet of Lincolns 1862 State of the Union Message
Broadsheet, Sentinel Extra [place unknown[1]], ca. December 2, 1862, 9⅛ x 24 in. 2 pp.
We cannot escape history… In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth..."
One month before signing the Emancipation Proclamation, the president proposes colonization and his plan for compensated emancipation, discusses foreign affairs, reports on progress of the Pacific Railroad, the war and finance. This rare "Sentinel Extra" broadsheet (apparently unrecorded in OCLC) has other news of the day on the verso, including a fantastic article quoting General Meagher's reaction to the resignation of several officers after McClellan was removed.
Lincoln Pushes for Arkansas Without Slavery
Autograph Letter Signed as President, to Frederick Steele. Washington, D.C., January 27, 1864. 1 p., 7¾ x 9¾ in. On Executive Mansion stationery.
After announcing his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction on December 8, 1863, Lincoln paid close attention to two Arkansas groups both aiming for reunion. Here, the president is concerned about potential conflicts with his plan, but in the end, both plans coincided in the key detail of ending slavery.
Lincoln Defends Guilty Client Against Breaking and Entering Charge Brought by Chester Moon, Who Lincoln Beat a Year Later in a Case of Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Autograph Manuscript Signed by Lincoln as Lincoln & Herndon. Bottom portion of Plea, Joinder, and Notice, in the case of Moon v. Preston, June 1845. ½ p., 4½ x 7¾ in. Small repair to chips and archival Japanese tissue reinforcement to crease on verso.
In May 1845, Chester Moon filed suit against Isaac Preston in the Menard County Circuit Court for trespass and requested $150 in damages. Moon charged that in October 1844, Preston broke into a dwelling house that Moon owned and "made a great noise and disturbance therein" and continued for "thirty entire days." In doing so, Preston "broke to pieces, damaged, and spoiled" two doors and broke the glass, sashes, and shutters of the windows. During the entire time, Moon and his family were "not only greatly annoyed and disturbed" but Preston's actions prevented Moon from "carrying on and transacting therein his lawful and necessary affairs and business."
Last Formal Photograph of Lincoln, with Son Tad
Photograph [taken by Alexander Gardner, February 5, 1865], Albumen print by Bouve, Boston, Mass. Captioned, President Lincoln and his Son Thaddeus/ The Last Photograph the President Sat For/ Published by G.F Bouve & Co, 41 Brattle St, Boston. Image 6¼ x 8½ in., mounted on original board, 8 x 10 in.
In this albumen print, Lincoln's youngest son Thomas is erroneously called "Thaddeus," because of nickname "Tad." An unfinished Washington Monument (construction began in 1848, but was not completed until 1884) rises in the background perhaps referencing the funerary motif of a broken column symbolic of a life cut short. This image, showing father and son posing for what would be Lincoln's last sitting.
President Lincoln & His Most Profitable Client, the Illinois Central Railroad
Autograph Letter Signed A. Lincoln as President, to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, May 23, 1863. Executive Mansion, Washington stationery, 2 pp. on one sheet, 7¾ x 9¾ in. With front panel of original envelope, to which Lincoln has added an Autograph Note Signed, and Stanton has also added an Autograph Note Signed.
Less than six years after he successfully sued the Illinois Central for legal fees, President Lincoln faces another problem with the railroad, now vital for the transportation of Union troops. In another dispute over payments, he tells his Secretary of War, "If I had the leisure which I have not, I believe I could settle it; but prima facie it appears to me we better settle the account ourselves..."
Abraham Lincoln Lengthy and Attractive Signed Legal Brief in a Case Heard by Judge David Davis, Later Lincolns Campaign Manager and Supreme Court Appointee
Autograph Manuscript Signed by Lincoln as Bush & Lincoln pq, Narratio, March 1850, in the case of Matthews v. Saltonstall, April 1850 term of the Tazewell County Circuit Court. 2 ½ pp with approx. 670 words in Lincolns hand, blue paper.
On September 20, 1849, William L. Saltonstall began building a road through Josiah Matthews' land, southwest of Tremont, Illinois. Matthews objected and retained Abraham Lincoln and local attorney John M. Bush to file suit against in the Tazewell County Circuit Court, at the newly constructed courthouse in Pekin, on March 9, 1850. Matthews sued in the action of trespass and requested $500 for damage to his land. Saltonstall retained Lincoln's former partner John T. Stuart and local attorney Benjamin F. James. In an affidavit filed on April 6, they declared that Guerdon F. Saltonstall could testify that six years earlier, when he owned the land, he and Matthews agreed that a lane be left along Matthews' property as a right-of-way. Pending his testimony, the judge ordered a continuance. Both parties then agreed to arbitration, and on June 4, 1850, Matthews agreed that a right of way was necessary, and Saltonstall agreed to pay actual damages to be set by the arbitrators. Three arbitrators viewed the land and listened to testimony. On June 12, they rendered their decision that Saltonstall should pay Matthews $16 and also pay $5.90 for the costs of the arbitration. At the September 1850 term of the Tazewell County Circuit Court, Judge David Davis dismissed the case, ordering Matthews to pay $2.40 in court costs.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) will recall over 2 million vehicles worldwide over problems that cause smoke or fire in the engine.
The automaker had reportedly received 3,972 warranty claims for the issue in the United States alone and will recall around 1.2 million vehicles currently being used stateside, with a further million or so being recalled around the globe. The problem arises from a sensor in the engine that tells the driver of the engine's current state, helping know when to check it over and replace, but due to the sensor being insufficiently sealed from the elements it has been known to short circuit and sometimes lead to fire. The possibility of road salt or moisture getting into the sensor is increasingly clear in more northern countries, as they rely more heavily on salting their roads during snowfall.
The vehicles, Honda Accords from 2013 to 2016, will need to be brought into a dealer, where the technicians will check over the sensor and replace if need be, for free. The sheer mass of the cars recalled however, will make it harder for Honda to do this speedily, with new sensors having to be built, shipped and then installed in around 2 million vehicles. News of this recall comes on the heels of Honda recalling their cars for exploding airbags manufactured by Tanaka. With continual problems like this, Honda may well lose ground in the automotive market, especially with Tesla and Volvo making waves with more affordable electric cars.

FDA recommends tighter checks on painkiller
October 25, 2013
by David Gutman
Charleston (West Virginia) Gazette
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Hydrocodone, a powerful and widely abused drug found in prescription painkillers, will likely become more difficult to get after the Food and Drug Administration recommended tightening regulations on the drug.
On Thursday, the FDA officially recommended that hydrocodone be reclassified as a schedule II narcotic, the strictest classification for drugs that have an accepted medical use. The strongest prescription painkillers, drugs like OxyContin and methadone, are already classified as schedule II.

Residence Program Overview
TCIS Residence Life Program
The TCIS residence program has gained over 55 years experience in serving students and families who choose boarding to meet their particular needs. Parents can rest assured that the boarding program recognizes the importance of "home" in the growth and development of young people.
With full time dorm parents experienced in working with adolescents and with residence assistants that are primarily certified teachers, the program offers a full spectrum of support, meeting the academic, emotional, physical, social and spiritual well being of each student. The personal investment that goes into each student is for building future success and opportunity for each student. These rich interactions have made the TCIS boarding program a place where students often return throughout their lives with reports of their time here being some of the best years of their lives. It is this trait that sets us apart from other programs ... personal care and a strong legacy of personal care.
Philosophy Statement
At TCIS we see our Residence Life Program as a service ministry to families who desire an internationally-based education. Because all staff members are practicing Christians, we are committed to sharing our faith with students in word and deed, exposing all students to Christ and mentoring those who follow Jesus. We recognize students' varied backgrounds and experiences, and their value and importance as people. The staff members seek to be aware of progress made by each student. With encouragement, consolation, and discipline, staff members aim to equip students to grow in character traits, such as, self-discipline, sound judgment, and awareness of other's needs; this allows for thoughtful community living. Although the environment is structured, every effort is taken to create a family atmosphere in which the students can mature in their interpersonal and interpersonal skills.
TCIS Residence Program Goals
The goal of the residence staff is to show care and encouragement to students in the following ways:
- Be examples for Christ in all we do
- Be good communicators with parents and teachers
- Be intentionally interactive with students
- Be responsible in our supervision
- Be intentional in our service to others
- Be dedicated to spiritual nurturing
- Maintain a safe and homelike environment
Benefits in the Residence Life Program
Real care when the family is unable to live nearby
The TCIS residence program prides itself in providing fulltime dorm parents that specialize in the personal guidance and care of young people. They believe that the "home life" of each student is foundational in developing the character and personal skills that they need to find future success.
Academic support
Families can have assurance that boarding students have the tools they need to academically succeed. Weekly communication with teachers provides an ongoing knowledge of student's academic needs. Beyond the regularly supervised study halls in the dorms, boarding students also have access to the school facilities along with certified teacher residence assistants (TRAs) that provide subject specific support throughout the week.
Social experiences and growth
The dorm environment kindles an atmosphere that fosters healthy social living and personal growth in each student. The boarding facilities, structure and programs are specifically designed to build a sense of community and challenge students to contribute to wholesome social living.
Building of confidence and life skills
Students are encouraged to recognize their full potential and to value themselves and to develop the skills they need to be successful. The life skills they learn in the TCIS Residence Life Program equips each student with the knowledge of what it takes to be a contributor in life and the confidence it takes to make that happen.
Guided preparation
Experience in college dormitory living is similar to the residence program, and TCIS boarding helps prepare students for a smoother transition into college life. Students discover how to learn and live together in a protected and guided environment and develop the skills they need to make a smoother transition into college dormitory life.
Building of some of the closest and most satisfying friendships of a student's life
Sharing the high school experience with dorm staff and friends often result in the development of lifelong friendships. Students enjoy returning to TCIS long after they have graduated to reconnect and reminisce with their dorm staff and friends.
Student Testimonials
Personally, I believe the Residence Life Program taught me how to be a responsible and independent individual, which was especially important once I went to university. I learned not only about time management but also interpersonal skills. I also matured spiritually, thinking about philosophical issues and my personal relationship with God. – Graduated Dorm Student, Class of 2009
I consider TCIS my home because it was the place where I learned through living and also a place that molded me into the person that I am today. It was more than just a boarding program to me; it was a life-changing time where I built strong relationships with many brothers, sisters, mentors, and dorm parents. This is the most valuable experience I ever had growing into a young adult. – Graduated Dorm Student, Class of 2010
The Residence Life Program helped me to become successful in my education by challenging me to live out healthy lifestyle habits. It taught me that good education doesn't merely depend on the rigor of studying but a balance of diverse activities including sports, arts, and sometimes simply having fun with friends around you. I felt cared for by the staff's constant love and servant-hood exemplified in their everyday actions and words. I laughed and cried with my dorm family and these are some of the memories I carry with me as tokens of encouragement as I reminisce on times I was fully known and loved by the people of God. – Graduated Dorm Student, Class of 2011
The Residence Life Program not only was a place where I was able to establish intimate relationships with fellow dorm students but we were also able to focus on our education through daily study halls and learned time management. Although we lived far away from our families, we seldom felt empty as the dorm staff always made their best effort to make us feel loved and cared for. In addition, we became close to our dorm mates and ended up feeling like brothers and sisters. - Graduated Dorm Student, Class of 2013
