...they'll start scrubbing the walls. They use an enzyme on the walls - it breaks the blood down and makes it easier to clean. And then the floorboards. You can't physically remove all the stains from floorboards, so they clean it as best they can and paint a sealant on the top. And that's mostly it. If it's a bedroom, it's pretty easy...
...vandalized, according to Evan R. Johnson ’06, one of the organizers, former publisher for The Crimson’s Fifteen Minutes magazine.

...also practices guerrilla pricing. Sullivan comparison-shops at the chains and tracks the smaller-ticket items they advertise, like sealant or tape measures.

...will take in just $250,000 this year, but Goldberg expects to double that figure in each of the next few years, largely on tennis-ball business. Meanwhile, he is working to convince tire manufacturers that by sealing their wheels with his technology instead of butyl rubber, the current sealant, they can produce tires that run cooler and safer, are lighter and increase a car's fuel efficiency. The U.S. Army has asked InMat to develop gloves that will protect soldiers from chemical agents. Goldberg's funding has come mostly from an angel investor and grants, which means...
