Our Business Model
Information collected from Brillouin first round of experiments demonstrated that the proprietary electronic pulse generator produced excess heat when applied to nickel and to palladium. Excess heat is the amount of thermal energy that exceeds the energy used to drive the pulse generator and its associated electronics. Second round experiments conducted in a high temperature and high-pressure test cell confirm that excess heat is produced on demand in repeatable amounts. Presently the company pulse generator is being studied and tested at SRI, International in Menlo Park California.
The Brillouin revenue model is fee based. The plan centers on a strategy of global licensing and royalties. Qualified manufacturing firms would pay annual license fees and a percentage of sales on products using the technology. Markets will be addressed by segment:
- Geographical Region
- Application: hot water, steam heat, process heat
- End User: residential, commercial, industrial
- Thermal Output: Lowest Power to 600 Watts, Low Power 600 to 1 Kilowatt, Mid Power 1 Kilowatt to 500 Kilowatts, High Power Over 500 Kilowatts.
The US commercial boiler market is $1.1 billion and growing. The business model addresses the market by providing economic and environmentally sustainable solutions. The technology provides heat on demand with out emissions and avoids other costs associated with fossil fuels. Brillouin's value proposition eliminates need for fuel purchases.
Brillouin has entered into its first international licensing agreement covering three nations and is involved in on-going negotiations for other potential international partners.

What happened to Jeremy Burchett
Had some sucess last year in the GCL and Billings but hadn't seen any mention of him this year?
He works for Google.
After a Year of Pro Ball, Jeremy Burchett Now Pitches for Google
BY Ryan Gorcey
Daily Cal Staff Writer
Monday, June 18, 2007
Type Jeremy Burchett into the Google search page. The first 10 pages you get tell his baseball past, from his official bio page on http://www.calbears.cstv.com, to stories from this very paper on his time with the Cal baseball team, to news of his being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 2006. But what the search results won't show is that the former Bears relief pitcher, is now an employee of the very same internet powerhouse search engine.
Following his first minor league season, Burchett was disenchanted with the professional game, and considered leaving the baseball world behind.
On one hand, he had just completed a fine season, going a combined 3-2 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 appearances for the rookie-league Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League and the Gulf Coast Redsox of the Gulf Coast League.
On the other hand, he had an offer in front of him from one of the most lucrative online companies in the world. The former Cal baseball player could either keep pitching, or sign on with a company started by two Stanford grads—Google, Inc.
"I wanted to give pro ball at least a year so I could evaluate it and I was thinking that maybe if I could get a spark of interest or something would click with one of the coaches, but it just turned out that Google was just a better fit," says Burchett.
Burchett started his baseball life as an outfielder. In his first three years for the Bears, he hit .258 overall, but showed promise in his junior season, batting .266 in 25 games with two home runs and 10 RBI.
Up to that point, he had seen limited action out of the bullpen, posting a 8.25 ERA. But his live arm prompted Cal coach David Esquer to take a risk and move Burchett to the hill full-time. In his senior year, Burchett proved the decision a sound one, checking in with a 3.19 ERA in 23 games and tossing 31 innings for the Bears.
His performance was enough to earn him a ninth-round selection by the Reds as part of Cal's biggest baseball draft class ever, which saw seven Bears inked to pro contracts.
"I was a little surprised at how much less they offered me compared to other ninth-rounders, probably the reason being that I was a senior," says Burchett. "I wasn't really in any kind of position of power. You can't really blame them, because there was no leverage there, but I did feel like I was taken advantage of a little bit."
Despite Burchett's superb numbers and a 16-inning scoreless streak early in the year, something didn't feel right.
"A lot of people say that the time to take risks in your life is early on and the time to pursue your dreams is early on in your life and when it gets down to it, I just wasn't happy playing anymore," says Burchett. "It really didn't matter that (a career in baseball) was risky so much as it was that I just wasn't happy."
The year that he spent in the minor leagues wore on Burchett, and on the heels of his best year yet, he began to consider his options.
"You play every day and you're on the bus a lot and you're living out of a hotel, not making a whole lot of money," says Burchett. "A lot of people look at this time as like a sacrifice until you get to the ultimate goal, which is the major leagues, which was my ultimate goal. But things can change over time and I was just ready for a change."
As much as he loved baseball, it had ceased to be a game and became a job.
"Once it gets businesslike, and everything is outcome-oriented, it's no longer fun at that point," says Burchett.
When Burchett came back to Cal to finish his degree in the fall, he caught up with a former classmate, sophomore Kenny Mendes. He told Mendes that he was contemplating giving up the game, and Mendes, himself quite a baseball fan, made a wager.
"I had recently gotten into (golf), and we were talking about going to the driving range and we got on the topic of my situation, and he was really interested and he's asking me if I was going to go back to baseball because he knew about the Google offer," says Burchett. "I was just like, 'I'm not really sure at this point, but my gut says that I'm going to take the Google job.' There was a little implied wager there, that if I did end up taking the Google job, there would be a couple rounds on him on the links."
With several other offers on the table, Burchett had his pick of futures more secure than one depending on the ligaments in his shoulder.
"I was ready to walk away from baseball even before I knew of any offer from Google," says Burchett, "but it certainly did help me go in that direction."
The former hurler decided to take Mendes' wager, and now is making recruitment pitches to software engineers to work for Google. As a contract employee, he makes more than his full-time counterparts (though doesn't have their stock options) and he still has those rounds of golf on Mendes' tab.
"We actually haven't gotten around to doing it, but we went to the range (Sunday) and we're scheduled to hit the links sometime in the next two weeks," chuckles Burchett.
Despite the brevity of his professional career, Burchett can at least say that he left on his own terms, before the pro game could taint his love for the sport. Now, instead of toiling in the minor leagues, riding on broken down buses and staying in midwestern half-star motels, he has time to enjoy the little things in life, like golf. And if his passion in his recreational softball league is any indication, he still has plenty of love for the game of baseball.
"My passion for baseball has not dropped off at all," says Burchett. "I'm playing in a recreational softball league right now, and I will always have some affiliation with the game. That will always be the case."

I'm shocked that he was surprised.
Well, at least he was drafted before he retired from baseball.

Convenient size, slow transfer rate
This flash drive is tiny and seems to be sturdy enough to keep on a keychain. It's nice having it handy for incidental use but the transfer rate is too slow to make it useful for moving around large files.

Copying and sharing plumeria photographs
Love it! It hangs with my keys so it is always with me! I use it with my PC and Mac so perfect to swap data at home and work. No brainer folks!
I love the size and design of these drives. Very slim and lightweight. Fits nicely in your pocket.
This tiny flash drive, 1/2" wide and only 1 1/2" long and encased in aluminum, seems very strong, light, and durable. After having a plastic encased 64GB PNY drive, bought when they were expensive, go completely bad after four uses (and I will never by another product made by PNY again), I wanted a good brand and a hardy case for the replacement drive. Kingston and Corsair make the best flash drives, and I have a 128GB USB3 Corsair speedster. These Kingston drives are on sale solely, probably, because they are USB2. They are strong, fast, and irresistible at these prices. Small but not too small (like little USB dongles that you can barely pull out of the back of a case) I doubt you'll be disappointed. If you intend on carrying this on a key chain, you actually can here, because the hole is large enough, and if any drive can take the beating, this one probably can (though I just use them at my desk). I have two of these Kingston drives and I won't hesitate to buy more if I need to.
Awesome product, great value, great price. What more can I say? Go get it!
No problems so far and well made too!
So It was an emergency that I bought this USB and put it on my everyday car keys and its and an awsome product because of the resistant material, I'm a photographer sometimes I need to backup or travel with some files and no more plastic stuff that is easy to loose this product make my day much more easier.

JimDayTV Rolen is also dealing with a hamstring issue, he may have to be DL'd, decision soon #reds
Not good...
Juan Francisco is hot down in L'ville. I know his D will be suspect, but maybe he can bring some life to the offense if Rolen is DLd. Cairo every day won't cut it.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
IF he's DL'd it will be Cairo.
I'd like to see Frazier up to give him a jumpstart.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
His Hammy didn't look bad going from 1st to 3rd doing a pete rose at the AS game! We need Rolen soon. Look at this offense right now. This is potential really bad news.
And This One Belongs to the REDS!!!
Here is an idea, don't DL him, and let Janish know he's the 3B 2 minutes before gametime.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Janish would be much better at 3B defensively. But there's no getting around it, there's going to be an offensive dropoff.
Who do you think gets called up if he goes on the DL? Sutton is my guess.
Team's record without Rolen speaks for itself. Thank said...wasn't there a blurb about a DL trip earlier in the year, but he never got put on it?
Francisco, please. I think the team is facing 6 straight righties.
Strasburg v. Francisco would be fun.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
If you don't want to make a 40-man roster move and don't trust Francisco's glove, you could always call up Drew Sutton. He'd be great for the top of the order.
Fay says he's day-to-day.
Rolen is dealing with a right hamstring. Also had the flu. Got a cortisone shot. Day to day

There are actual solutions that wouldn't take us back to that.
Take away casts, non obvious cc chains, mana burns, drains, dispels, mana/energy management being a thing, etc....and you're down to repeated, scripted cycles of burst+cc. The game got made dumb and one-dimensional after wotlk. Without any kind of real push/pull complexity and giving every class pretty much every kind of ability, of course you're going to have a metagame which shortcuts to comps that tend to win in the opener, comps that cheese 45 minute games, or comps that win based on rng procs, pathing, crits, etc.
Dampening was a bandaid for the 45 minute turtles, which themsleves were a byproduct of making the game more accessible to console players and shitty little add kids.

David Barstow Wins February Sidney for Story on Tea Party
Audrey Thweatt
[email protected]
NEW YORK: The Hillman Foundation announced today that David Barstow has won the February Sidney award for "Tea Party Lights Fuse for Rebellion on Right," his searing portrait of the Tea Party movement in The New York Times. The story details how the pressures from a severe recession have melded with propaganda repeated by Glenn Beck and other right-wing broadcasters to produce broad fears of an imagined plan by the federal government to seize guns and suspend basic liberties.
Sidney Award judge Charles Kaiser said, "Barstow's story links the Tea Party movement with militia groups, anti-immigration advocates and those who favor the abolition of the Federal Reserve. It is a thorough and balanced account of the disparate forces which are feeding the growth of this volatile movement across America, written by one of America's premier investigative reporters. While there has been a considerable amount of coverage on the Tea Party movement, Barstow's piece was the most sophisticated one."
Barstow, 47, shared a 2004 Hillman prize with Lowell Bergman for a series of stories examining the safety and environmental records of McWane Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers of cast-iron pipes. The articles chronicled the dangerous work conditions, violations of environmental regulations, and obstruction of federal workplace investigations that were commonplace at McWane plants around the country.
Last year Barstow won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting for two stories that exposed a covert Pentagon campaign to use retired military officers as analysts for television and radio networks, to reiterate administration "talking points" about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Barstow also received the 2008 Sigma Delta Chi Award for Washington Correspondence for the series, as well as the George Polk National Reporting award. (Hillman's Charles Kaiser discussed those stories and the networks' failure to acknowledge or react to them with Bob Garfield for a segment of "On the Media.")
Barstow joined the staff of the Times in 1999, and became a full-time investigative reporter in 2002. Before he worked for the Times, Barstow spent nine years at The St. Petersburg Times, where he was a three-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He grew up in Concord, Mass., and received a B.S. degree from Northwestern University in 1986.
The Sidney Award is given once a month to an outstanding piece of socially-conscious journalism by the Sidney Hillman Foundation, which also awards the annual Hillman Prizes every spring. Winners of the Sidney receive $500, a certificate designed by New Yorker cartoonist Edward Sorel, and a bottle of union made wine. Nominations can be submitted here.

Somewhat unpredictably, the national discourse of the Sochi winter Olympics has meandered from a high-level discussion of human rights to "What the hell is going on with Bob Costas' eyes?" to "No. The glasses don't help at all."
Costas has pink eye, or conjunctivitis if you're some sort of optimist or something. The foul eye infection has traveled from just one eye to both of them now, possibly because Costas thought it would be funny to gross out hundreds of millions of people.
Matt Lauer will be replacing him, and we all agree would be funny if he appeared with an oozing ear infection or a dead tooth or something, leading the rest of the world to acknowledge that America's health care system really is in shambles. Yesterday's broadcast was the first day of Olympic coverage that Costas hasn't participated in since the late 80's.
In an informal poll held by me and my buddies, 100% polled demonstrated a desire for Costas to have both eyes dug out and replaced with Terminator bionic ones so nothing like this ever happens again.
Consider posting a comment.

Bones Recap for Season 7, Episode 12, "The Suit On The Set": The Bone of Contention
Time to slip on some Loubies and inject a quick squirt of Botox into your forehead, because Bones is taking a trip to Hollywood! This week, our favorite crime stoppers and their fellow nerds leave the mean streets of Washington, DC,for a vaycay in sunny California, where Brennan's (Emily Deschanel) book Bone of Contention is made into a movie! With a title like that, how can you go wrong? Answer: You can't.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
You guys, Brennan is such a renaissance woman. Not only is she a bone-a-fied forensic scientist (see what we did there?) who just gave birth to an angel-baby, she's also a massively successful novelist! In case you forgot, Brennan spends her free time penning erotic fan fiction about her own life, and now her words of wisdom are finally coming to the big screen. Of course Brens can't trust a bunch of plebes with her brainchild (not to be confused with her actual child, Christine), so she and Booth head to the west coast to oversee her movie!
Oh, by the way — did we mention that Bone of Contention is hilariously B-list and features CGI effects that look like they were made with Geocities? Despite this amazing fact, Brennan's less than thrilled about the film's scientific inaccuracies, which are all over the place thanks to her arch nemesis, Doug The Podiatrist. But there's no time to worry about nerdy jargon — a dead body is found on set, which promptly causes Brennan's onscreen alter ego, "Kathy Reichs" (aka the real-world author of Bones) to pass out in disgust. Sigh, amatuer hour.
And no, Brennan does not take off her trench coat during this episode. Just because she's in California, doesn't mean she's turning into a total hippie. Exposed shoulders are a gateway drug to tie-dye.
Dream of Californication
Take one guess as to how Brennan reacts when she learns about the dead bag o' bones on set. Home girl is practically salivating from excitement, and she convinces Booth (David Boreanaz) to take on the case so she can fondle remains (dream job!). Luckily, Brennan has her foot-fetishist buddy, Doug, to lend a hand, and together they determine that the victim was a male in his mid-forties who died from a punctured aorta. Even better? Hodgins' on-screen alter ego "Dr. Yeager" has a doctorate in microbiology, and he's all about getting his hands dirty! No, literally. There is blood and goo all up in this joint.
As Booth and Brennan wander around the studio and nerd out over foliage (trees in the shape of bart Simpson? We do!), Angela (Michaela Conlin) IDs the victim as Hanson Stevens, the head of the studio making Brennan's film. B&B do their usual round of interviews, turn down some wheat grass from Hanson's assistant, and end up at the "bungalow" of Liam Tonyon — the noob who re-wrote Brennan's script!
Meanwhile at The Jeffersonian, Hodgins (TJ Thyne) is suffering from a major case of jellies over Dr. Yeager's work on Brennan's Great American Novel. Dude just wants to take his chintee to Hollywood and let it shine! Luckily, Hodgins and his doppleganger bond over the fact that the victim was killed near brass — and bonus: There are blood stains on Liam's sprinkler.
In other news, Booth is having another identity crisis. After a former FBI Agent tells him how great LA is for families (please, Baby Christine and smog? Do not want), he's all a flutter about whether or not they should move beachside. Clearly, Booth needs to hear the soothing words of his prepubescent mentor, Dr. Sweets (John Francis Daley), so they chat online until Booth's alter ego, Blaine (aka Special Agent Andy Lister) busts in unleashes his inner fangirl all over the place. Dude even wears a "kooky" belt buckle. Stan alert!
California Dreamin'
Despite the fact that Liam's a total creeper, he has an alibi — so Booth hits up Bone Of Contention's biggest star, "Dr. Kathy Reichs" and finds out that she was doing the dirty with Hanson! Well, Hanson and a few other peeps. Sigh, Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Brennan and Doug start a lovable competition about who can solve the murder first, and Doug invents a robotic suit that can mimic the height, bone structure, and weight distribution of the victim. Apparently, this bad boy determines that the vic was was run over by a small car and knocked into Liam's brass sprinkler, and it's just like: Science.
Turns out the vehicle size almost-perfectly matches a car belonging to Mandy Oh — Bone of Contention's eager to please executive producer. Unfortunately, the leaves attached to Mandy's sweet wheels don't match the grass stains on Hanson's body, but don't worry everyone — Cam (Tamara Taylor) is on the case. She and Angela locate info on Hanson's phone and realize he was spying on Jocco, Bone Of Contention's Chuck Bass-ish director!
Of course, like Chuck Bass, Jocco has rage issues (no one understands his hotness), so he throws a water bottle at Booth and tries to run away while being handcuffed — but stop everything, because this is yet another false alarm. Jocco didn't kill anyone! Chuck Bass loves all creatures great and small — which leaves the studio's semi-psychotic hedge cutter as the primary suspect. That's right, this lady flipped her ish when Hanson messed with her sculpture, and killed him in a hedge-clipping frenzy. Sounds brutal, but the silver-lining? The Jeffersonian gang get to be in Brennan's movie as a reward for their murder solving skills! Really, it's a win-win.
In other news, it's time to jaw-drop! Turns out Dr. Yeager knew Cam from starring in a B-list movie called Invasion Of The Mothersuckers, wherein she rocked a truly epic afro and popped a fang erection. Oh, and don't worry — Booth and Brennan aren't moving to California any time soon. Who else would mercilessly tease Cam?

The most effective way of learning to recognise your individual pattern of fertility and infertility according to the mucus signals is to record your observations each day in a chart. The aim is to identify on any day whether sex could or could not result in pregnancy.
When you first learn the Billings Ovulation Method™ you abstain from sex for two to four weeks while you learn to identify your mucus patterns without the presence of seminal fluid to confuse your observations. After this learning stage you'll be ready to use the Rules of the Billings Ovulation Method™.
Keeping a record of your observations becomes second nature. You simply pay attention to the sensation and appearance of the mucus at the vulva during the day, and write a few words on your chart to describe it at the end of the day. You then use the coloured stamp or write the symbol to represent what has happened, for easy recognition of your pattern. Your Billings Ovulation Method™ tutor will explain the use of the stamps and symbols.
Don't worry if your pattern looks nothing like someone else's. Every woman is an individual with her own individual pattern. Most women quickly grasp the pattern of their fertility, and a trained tutor can ensure that you're correctly interpreting your chart.

Click here to download Personal Record Chart - for use on computer
Billings Ovulation Method™ code for charting using
stamps or symbols
Red or • for days of bleeding or spotting.
Green or l for days when no mucus is observed and there is a sensation of dryness.
White or O for days of mucus. Indicates possible fertility. Also used for the day after sex in the pre-ovulatory phase.
Yellow or = for infertility. These may be days of either unchanging discharge in the pre-ovulatory phase, or discharge after the end of the fertile phase.
The chart below is of a typical cycle. You make your recording using EITHER the coloured stamps or the symbols (not both). Your Billings Ovulation Method™ accredited tutor will help you understand the correct use of the stamps/symbols and to interpret your own individual pattern of fertility/infertility as shown by your chart.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
Diving into History: Min of the Desert
Volume 62 Number 4, July/August 2009
Min of the Desert
Nearly 3,500 years ago, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut ordered five trading ships built for a voyage over the Red Sea to the legendary Land of Punt. Now, Florida State University maritime archaeologist Cheryl Ward has plied the same waters on a similar vessel, a 66-foot-long, 30-ton reconstruction of an 18th Dynasty trading ship. Called Min of the Desert--in honor of the powerful Egyptian fertility god commemorated in stelae and shrines at the Middle Kingdom lagoon site of Mersa Gawasis--the ship was partly based on a detailed relief depicting Hatshepsut's fleet in her funerary temple.
Ward also relied on archaeological data recovered from Mersa Gawasis, where since 2003 archaeologists have unearthed wooden ship parts, anchors, and ropes still tied in original knots, evidence that ships were dismantled at the site. She used measurements from the artifacts, including a complete hull plank, in her design.
Last December, Ward and a crew of two dozen students, engineers, and sailors embarked on an 18-day voyage on the Red Sea aboard the reconstructed ship. The trip indicated that the Egyptians were much more proficient shipwrights than previously thought. "When the wind picked up and filled our sail, we just took off," she says, about twice as fast as she'd expected. "My hope was that we would be able to have a nice, solid voyage in which we could test the capability of the ship. I had no idea it would be so exhilarating, so easy to operate, and such a direct reflection of what we see in the ancient reliefs."Share

- Diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Fainting or change in level of consciousness
- Fever and chills
- Inability to urinate
- Metallic taste
- Seizures
- Shock
- Vomiting
- Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)
Serious symptoms that might indicate a life-threatening condition
In some cases, zinc poisoning can be life threatening. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms:
What is zinc poisoning?
Zinc is an important mineral required for a number of functions involving energy and metabolism. It is critical in supporting the immune system, which protects us from pathogens, infections, and disease. Zinc also plays a role in carbohydrate breakdown (process that supplies energy), as well as in cell growth, division and reproduction.

New web media is rewriting the book on how media works
"People still ask me what a podcast is, which kind of blows my mind," says Julien Smith, whose In Over Your Head podcast was Montreal's first. "Considering it was the word of the year in the New American Oxford Dictionary, and it's been all over the news… you really have to be living in a hole to be that oblivious to what's going on."
It is actually quite simple: Get an idea, create your own content, put it out there, and let people consume depending on their level of interest. In that way, it's somewhat analogous to a traditional business model that says Conceptualize, Create and (Mass) Market, except within the world of podcasting, that last step concerned with making a wad of cash and buying the Benz is conspicuously absent because podcasting isn't about money, nor are podcasters interested in keeping with tradition. Rather, their craft is representative of the natural (and necessary) evolution of technology and personal media. In a world steadily embracing a paradigm shift, they are the shifters, and as we move into a time where the Internet – and its peripheral technology – is finally making good on its promise to be the great democratizer, podcasting is but another articulation of this new tradition.
In 2002, Shift writer Clive Thompson wrote that the Internet had both "matured" and "come of age" after the Sept. 11 attacks, that it occupied a post on the front lines, letting us know what was happening, and would happen, in the aftermath of that tragic day. Today, independent from tragedy, podcasters and their ilk are affecting a dramatic change in the way we acquire and disperse media, giving ordinary citizens the kind of agency that has previously been the private property of the old guard of media oligarchies.
Today, we're bearing witness to the dawn of a newer, more significant era in the history of media. For years, multimedia mega-corporations have had the market cornered, dictating what was and wasn't permissible over "their" airwaves, regardless of the niche desires of their largely non-participatory audiences. As it was conceived, the Internet was a tool that facilitated a paradigm shift because it afforded everyone an active role. Now in its early adolescence, that role has grown into a casual responsibility, a way anyone can contribute to a future of hyper-personalized media.
Though some have suggested that podcasting is merely pirate radio for the 21st century, Smith disagrees. "It's not pirate, and it's not radio, but it is everything that pirate radio represents," says Smith, who assiduously asks permission for any copyrighted material he uses.
The vox populi, vox dei aspect of 21st century media is not lost on Smith, nor his friend Neil, a Chicago podcaster. "[The concept of podcasting] removes gatekeepers, the people who were the content providers. Before, if you wanted people to hear you, you had to find a publisher or broadcaster. [Most of the time] you had to compromise to get heard." Today, Smith adds, "you can get whatever you want in whatever context you want it – it's so easy it's almost ridiculous."
Not only do we get what we want, we create it as well, because podcasting's anyone-can-do-it nature effectively circumvents the institutional impediments that have historically plagued citizen media. "Here there's no barrier to entering," says Smith. "You've got a computer? You're good. Go."

is there a car charger for the jambox
is there a car charger for the jambox? can you use the car lighter for power?
- Asked by Robert D S from Buffalo
JAMBOX by Jawbone Wireless Speaker
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes and no. No, there isn't a "Jambox Car Charger". However, if you have a car charger with a USB port for charging, then YES you can plug the supplied USB cable into that and charge the Jambox.
- Answered by Nathan V from Poulsbo
It doesn't come with one, but uses a micro-USB... so any micro-USB model would work. As an example, I had one for another device and it charged the Jambox just fine in the car.

Fear of Being Replaced Prevents Americans from Taking Time Off
"Work Martyr Complex" Emerges at Expense of Americans' Health and Well-BeingDownload Report
Overwhelmed America: Why Don't We Use Our Paid Time Off?
Executive Summary
Americans are overwhelmed—but they aren't taking the breaks they've earned. Nearly three-quarters of workers say they are stressed at work, with one-in-four reporting they are either "very" or "extremely" stressed.
It's no surprise that Americans feel this way. Many workers leave their paid time off (PTO) unused, despite near-universal recognition of the importance and benefits of using PTO, from reducing stress to improving productivity when we return to work.
But when the U.S. Travel Association asked GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications to examine the attitudes and beliefs underlying America's hard-charging work culture, GfK discovered that the benefits of PTO were no match for the fears that are keeping them at work.
In a survey of more than 1,300 employees and senior business leaders across the United States, it was revealed that workers construct many of their own biggest barriers to taking time off. Returning to a mountain of work and the feeling that nobody else could do their job were cited as the top reasons for not using PTO. The effects of a tough economy still linger with one-third of respondents, who said they cannot afford to use their time off, and roughly a fifth of workers expressed concern that they would be seen as replaceable if they used their PTO.
According to the survey, employees' fears about using PTO are reinforced by their companies, where the silence can be deafening. While senior business leaders may support their employees in taking time off, they aren't communicating it. In fact, two-thirds of employees are hearing nothing, negative or mixed messages from their employers about using PTO.
Key Findings
The Benefits of Paid Time Off are Universally Recognized.
- Nearly everyone surveyed (96%) recognizes the importance of using PTO, including 95 percent of senior business leaders.
- Huge majorities of American workers say PTO helps them relax and recharge (90%), offers the opportunity to do what they enjoy (88%) and makes them happier (85%). Nearly two-thirds (65%) say their concentration and productivity improve with PTO, and 61 percent report greater satisfaction at work.
- Senior business leaders agree that time off from work delivers benefits to their employees and companies: 91 percent believe employees return from PTO recharged and renewed—and ready to work more effectively.
Yet More Than Four in Ten of Us Will Leave PTO On the Table
- Still, 41 percent of American workers do not plan to use all their paid time off in 2014, even though it is part of their compensation.
What's Holding Us Back?
Rise of the Work Martyr: A "Mountain of Work" That "Nobody Else Can Do"
When it comes to taking PTO, Americans themselves can be the biggest barriers. A variety of justifications lead about two-in-five workers (37%) to conclude it is not "easy" to take the PTO they have earned.
- Returning To A "Mountain Of Work": Fully 40 percent of American workers cite the heavy workload awaiting their return as the top challenge in taking PTO.
- The Work Martyr Complex: More than one-third of employees (35%) won't use their time off because they believe "nobody else can do the work while I'm away."
- Face Time, All the Time: Roughly three-in-ten (28%) respondents do not use all their time off because they want to show complete dedication to the company and their job.
- Lingering Effects Of A Tough Economy: One in three respondents (33%) say they simply "cannot afford" to take PTO. More than one-fifth of respondents (22%) said they didn't want others to see them as "replaceable."
America's Hard-Charging Work Culture
America's always-on work culture exerts a powerful influence on our decisions about using paid time off. Some of the leading cultural barriers include:
- A Negative Vibe About PTO: Two-thirds of American workers (67%) say their company culture either says nothing about taking time off, sends mixed messages or discourages them from using PTO.
- No Control When it Comes to Earned Benefits: PTO is typically a defined employee benefit, just like salary and healthcare. Yet despite being a significant part of their total compensation, nearly one-third of workers (31%) say they do not control their own PTO—the company does. It's like one-third of Americans refusing to see the doctor until their employer allows them to.
A Failure to Communicate
Senior business leaders know the company benefits when workers take time off. Yet our research shows that many are sending mixed messages to employees.
- Poor Communication From Above: One-third (33%) of senior business leaders state they never (19%) or rarely—just once a year (14%)—talk with employees about the benefits of taking time off.
- Staying Connected 24/7/365: When taking time off from work, many senior business leaders have a hard time unplugging—just over a third (37%) reported being able to get away from work completely. Nearly half (46%) keep responding to emails, while roughly three-in-ten (29%) return calls from work during their PTO—all the while sending the signal that it's never OK to be away from the job.
- Grudgingly Granting PTO: More than one-quarter (28%) do not find it "easy" to approve paid time off requests, and among those who do not find it easy, 32 percent worry it puts an extra burden on other employees.

40 Percent of American Workers Will Leave Paid Vacation Days UnusedRead Arianna Huffington's Blog Post
Feature Article
Reminder: Take Your Vacation Days, Idiots
A survey from the U.S. Travel Association finds that 41% of you who are lucky enough to have jobs that offer vacation days "do not plan to use" all your paid time off this year. Time for a new plan.
The new plan: use all of your paid time off.
Use every last day. Take a vacation. Travel somewhere fancy. Travel somewhere moderate. Travel somewhere cheap. Alternately, take a staycation. Stay at home. Just chilling. Not working. Whether you go somewhere, or don't go anywhere, you'll still want to use all of your vacation days.
Every last one.
Even though Americans say they enjoy their vacations, they also say that they worry about whether their job will get done correctly in their absence, and they worry about being seen as lazy or easily replaceable at work, and they worry that their boss is sending subtle signals that it would be better not to take time off.
You worry too much, Americans. Take some time off.
If your boss is an obstacle to taking vacation days to which you are contractually entitled, maybe you should poison him (non-fatally). Then both of you can take some off.
That job don't love you. That job is not your friend. That job is not looking out for you. That job is a machine in which you are a cog. That job has no human feelings. That job is interested only in sucking you for every last ounce of labor that you are physically capable of producing before you pass out. It is not the job's fault; it is in the job's nature. Therefore it is up to you to look out for yourself. You gotta love yourself in this world. Take that time off. Nobody else is going to take it for you. Take it. Take it all.
If you're lucky they will fire you and you can sue them.

Is Your Company Culture Affecting Worker Happiness?
American workers believe that taking paid time off (PTO) helps them relax and recharge, offers the opportunity to do what they enjoy, and makes them happier people. But despite almost universal recognition (96%) of the importance of using their paid time off (PTO), four in ten workers (41%) say they will not use some of their PTO in 2014. A closer examination of these findings reveals that companies that encourage their workers to take PTO have happier, healthier, and more productive employees.
- Happier personal lives. Employees' whose companies encourage the use of PTO have happier personal lives. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of employees whose companies encourage PTO use report being "extremely" or "very" happy with their personal relationships with family and friends.
- Happier at work. Workers who are "extremely" happy with their jobs work within corporate cultures that encourage PTO. Over half (55%) of extremely happy employees are encouraged to use PTO, versus only one-third (32%) of the total population.
- More successful and financially secure. Companies that encourage PTO employ more people who are "extremely", "very", or "somewhat" happy with their professional success and personal financial situation compared to those companies that discourage PTO, send mixed messages, or send no message on PTO (91% vs. 79% and 84% vs. 68%, respectively).
- More productive employees. Senior business leaders agree that employees who use their PTO return recharged and renewed, ready to work more efficiently and productively (91%).
- Fewer sick days and improved morale. The vast majority of senior business leaders agree that using PTO cuts down on sick days and burnout, reduces turnover rates and improves morale, and boosts employee focus and creativity (90% for each).

Plenty of Work Ahead for WVU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Well, the sun came out Sunday in Morgantown – if only briefly. But the clouds eventually moved in again, just the way clouds have begun to hover over the West Virginia football team after its 31-19 loss at Kansas last Saturday to drop its record to 4-7.
It was perhaps the most stinging defeat for the Mountaineers since they dropped a 17-14 decision to Temple back in 2001, which incidentally, was the last time WVU failed to win enough games to qualify for a bowl game.
West Virginia's bowl streak, tied for the eighth longest in the country heading into this season, will end at 11 – blown away like all those leaves that were flying around on the field at Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon.
"I really apologize to the 12 seniors not to get to the 13th game," said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen after the game. "We got beat on all three sides of the ball – got out-coached and got out-played."
If you think back to that 2001 season, when West Virginia was playing in a conference very similar to the one the Mountaineers are involved with today in the Big 12, West Virginia that year was plagued by week-to-week inconsistency at the quarterback position, a smaller than usual senior class, serious depth issues on defense, an inability to stop the run, and, yes, a stinging loss to a conference bottom feeder.
Sound familiar?
For Holgorsen, this will be the first time in 14 years of involvement with an FBS program that he will not be coaching in a bowl game, which somebody pointed out to him during his postgame press conference on Saturday.
"I appreciate you reminding me of that," he said glumly. "I guess in Year 14 this would be an all-time low."
It's clear that a lot of work has to be done on all fronts to get things righted once again – from the coaches and the players on the field to the support staff responsible for getting the players stronger and keeping them healthy, to the administrators selling the tickets, raising the money and promoting the team.
It's an all-around, total team effort that, by the way, is also being undertaken at two other programs in the same boat as West Virginia – TCU and Utah.
When you take a deeper look at what West Virginia, TCU and Utah have achieved in the prior six/seven seasons before making the move to a much more competitive football league - and what they've done since making that move - it's really telling.
Utah and TCU both ruled the roost in the Mountain West Conference for years, the Utes running the table in 2008 by winning all 13 games and finishing ranked No. 2 in the country that season and winning 74 percent of their games during a six-year span from 2005-2010 prior to joining the Pac 12.
TCU was even more impressive, winning 85.6 percent of its games during a seven-year period from 2005-2011, averaging more than 10 wins per season and posting three-straight top 10 finishes in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
West Virginia, which became the marquee team in the Big East Light after the departures of Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College, won 77.8 percent of its games from 2005-2011, posting three consecutive 11-win seasons and three top 10 finishes in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
West Virginia and TCU both finished the season ranked among the nation's top 25 six times during a seven-year period, while Utah had a pair of top 25 finishes during the same span of time.
Now hit the fast forward button to today with all three programs having jumped into the deeper end of the pool: West Virginia is 11-13, TCU is 11-13, and Utah, which got a leg up on the other two with an extra season in the Pac 12, is now 17-18.
All three teams lost last Saturday, by the way.
And with Saturday's defeats, TCU and WVU were eliminated from bowl contention; Utah will be home for the holidays if it losses one of its remaining two games against either Washington State or Colorado.
So, where does West Virginia go from here?
"We've got to evaluate where we're at," said Holgorsen. "We've got to continue program development.
"This program is not equipped right now to handle the wear and tear of the Big 12. If you look at how many freshmen are out there – and I'm not blaming anything on injuries, that's just part of the game – but you've got to be able to have depth and in the Big 12, you've got to be able to handle a lot of snaps and you've got to be able to handle injuries. Right now we're not where we need to be."
West Virginia has two weeks to get ready for a 1-9 Iowa State team that will be seeking its first Big 12 win of the season this Saturday against one-win Kansas.
After that, WVU will take the month of December off before embarking upon the development season in January – which could be one of the most important off-seasons in recent memory considering the 2014 schedule awaiting the Mountaineers: Alabama, Maryland and Oklahoma all show up before the last weekend of September.
"We'll get back to work quicker in January," Holgorsen said. "I think whenever that first Monday is in January we'll be working. We'll be working before our kids report for the off-season, and, obviously, recruiting never ends.
"Maybe we'll have a lot of coaches and players sitting at home over the holidays saying, 'Boy, it looks like everybody on TV is having a good time going to a bowl game. It sure would be nice to do that.' Well, what do you do? You work harder. You recruit better. You stay the course. You develop your players and you buy into what's going on," Holgorsen concluded.

Rose Siggins
Half Body, Whole Life
Rose Siggins, nee Homan - Extraordinary People
Rose Siggins
Rose Siggins of Pueblo, Colorado has been obsessed with engines since childhood. She's carved herself a niche in the male-dominated world of auto mechanics. Rose is a racing driver, but what makes her really remarkable is her medical condition, she has just half a body. Born with a rare bone disorder, Rose has stunned her doctors with her ability to overcome obstacles. Always pushing boundaries, she's never taken no for an answer, Rose has literally adapted to survive.
For 33 years, she's refused to accept limitations but, in the worst year of her life has the woman with half a body pushed herself too far? After a lifetime in the media spotlight Rose Siggins is now at the height of her media celebrity. The condition that's made Rose famous is sacral agenesis which causes malformation of the spine in the womb, preventing proper linkage with the sacrum, the centre of the pelvis. Rose is rare, she has a very short spine and she's survived to adulthood.
Rose at Ten
Rose became a celebrity at the age of ten. The local TV station filmed the incredible life of the girl whose useless legs had been removed to increase her mobility. But, away from the cameras, the girl with half a body found herself to be a target. She recounts "The kids were mean to me, just because they didn'y know me or were scared of me, so most of them would resort to name calling".
Rose grew up with an attitude and personality that won her friends and admirers. In her twenties she met Dave Siggins, and together they took a decision that would risk her life. No-one with sacral agenesis had ever dared have a baby. Only with a rare form of caesarean, in which the uterus is cut from top to bottom, was the birth of Luke Siggins possible. This miracle child is now eight years old.
Luke's birth had threatened Rose's life and challenged her obstetrician, Dr Kevin Weary, so he was astonished when, in 2005, she called with plans for a second pregnancy! In due course, a scan revealed that she was pregnant with a daughter and Rose chose the name Shelby after her favourite sports car. She considers "When I was pregnant with Luke, physically I had no problems, but with Shelby no such luck". Within weeks she was confined to bed.
By Christmas she was able to get out of bed. She was on steroids to speed Shelby's growth in the expectation of a premature delivery. But by January the 10th she was in excruciating pain. Believing her uterus was tearing apart, the family took off for the hospital. Dave recalled the pact they had made should they face the ultimate dilemma "We just decided that she would let them save the baby and it was OK if they let her go".
The woman famous for pushing the boundaries went into surgery believing she might have pushed her luck too far. She'd been warned that the pregnancy could kill her. It looked like the worst might come true. Dr Weary talks about the procedure "Rose's caesarean section was quite difficult. We encountered a lot of scar tissue, that meant it took us 30 minutes to cut through to the uterus. This is a procedure that normally takes less than a minute. That's important because while you're putting mom to sleep you're also putting baby to sleep". Dave also comments "The longer it takes the more effect the anaesthetic has on the baby".
Shelby is born
The delivery is over and Dr Weary is concerned "In that whole process, Rose bled about 80% more than most people do and yet she probably started with 20% less blood volume because of her body type" Shelby is not breathing and is being resuscitated in paediatrics. Medics get Shelby breathing and she is now healthy but, Rose was still on the danger list.
After five days Rose can return home but, she is immobile. When Luke had been born, Rose had relied on the full support of her mother, Cecelia, who has now been dead for five years. After five months of bed rest, Rose is exhausted and recalls that her mother would have told her to get up and get on, taking one step at a time.
The first step Rose took was into the garage "My car, my Mustang, is my psychologist. Its where I go to do most of my deep thinking, its where I go to think out load. I like to have these moments to myself".
About Shelby "I nearly died for her, but it was worth it. I'd do it again if I had to. She has allowed me to put life into perspective and know that I'm not superhuman and I do have limitations. Without her wanting me, needing me and crying for me, I may not have come back so fast".
Jim Homan
Now, Rose Siggins the superwoman with half a body is back to full strength and taking control of her life.
First on her list is a journey, an emotional one. She is taking the family to the neighbouring state of Nebraska where her father, Jim Homan, was born and where he has a brother Jack who he's seen just once since childhood. Jim's always dreamed of a reunion but his health is failing. He has emphysema and Alzheimer's. The journey involves a long road trip and a supply of oxygen but, these challenges just make Rose all the more determined to make her father's dream come true.
Rose Siggins has always used vehicles to escape her worries, but right now she needs to acknowledge them. The aches and pains that result from her lifestyle are causing concern. She's never heeded calls to take it easy, because her mobility is her obsession, but now its in question. Her doctor, Dr Matthew Simonich, has ordered X-rays so he can make an assessment of the woman with half a body.
For the first time, X-rays reveal the remarkable inside story of Rose Siggins. Her spine is just a few inches long with no connection at all to her partial pelvis and her organs are contained in what is effectively a structureless torso. The X-rays also show that she is beginning to get arthritis in her left shoulder and her elbows have adapted and grown stronger after years of walking on her hands.

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that Zimbabwe's children, a third of whom have already been left stunted as a result of malnutrition, are still at serious and increasing levels of risk.
In a report issued earlier this year on the state of food security in Zimbabwe, the WFP highlights how malnutrition is an ongoing problem. The report quotes figures released late last year by the Zimbabwe National Security Agency and Inner City Fund International. According to the latest Demographic and Health Survey of 2012, one in every three Zimbabwean children is stunted as a result of malnutrition.
The WFP says the prevalence of stunting among Zimbabwe's children, caused by lack of proper nutrition, has continued to rise since 2009 and is ranked as 'high' to 'very high' (according to global standings). The WFP says Mutare has the highest prevalence of stunting among children.
The WFP report 'Responding to Humanitarian Needs and Strengthening Resilience to Food Insecurity - Zimbabwe' was presented in February and looks ahead to the country's food security situation in the coming year. The global food agency said "the situation remains fragile," and "Zimbabwe is vulnerable to social, economic, political and climatic shocks." The group warns that this year, rural food insecurity will be even higher than it was last year, blaming issues like drought for the crisis.
The report details how Zimbabwe has experienced hyperinflation, political turbulence, extensive de-industrialization, large-scale emigration, a significant decline in domestic food production and cuts in human and financial resources for health, education, social services and agriculture.
The WFP makes no mention of the destructive land 'reform' policies implemented by ZANU PF over the last decade, which collapsed the agricultural sector and left Zimbabwe, once the bread basket of Africa, reliant on food aid.
Charles Taffs, the President of the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU), agreed with the WFP's forecast that food insecurity levels are going to be even higher this year than before. But he criticised the UN grouping for "missing the point" by only blaming weather patterns for the food crisis.
"Of course we're susceptible to drought, but we have to mitigate this. What you see now is Zimbabwe no longer has the fundamentals in place to mitigate this," Taffs said.
He explained that Zimbabwe has suffered many severe drought conditions prior to the implementation of the land grab campaign, and the country was still able to feed itself.
"If you look at the last 20 years, the last 10 years have been even wetter than the 10 before that, and yet food security statistics are far worse now," Taffs said.
He added that critically, the situation cannot improve until property rights are guaranteed in Zimbabwe, explaining how "there is no new investment because there is no guarantee that your investment will be protected." He said until property rights security was guaranteed, food security will continue to deteriorate.
In the meantime one third of the most vulnerable, the children, will be stunted.
Stunted growth is a reduced growth rate in human development. It is a primary manifestation of malnutrition in early childhood, including malnutrition during fetal development brought on by the malnourished mother. Once established, stunting and its effects typically become permanent. Stunted children may never regain the height lost as a result of stunting, and most children will never gain the corresponding body weight. It also leads to premature death later in life because vital organs never fully develop during childhood. Intellectual development is also impaired.

Last I knew Irving Park is a public course and not private. I'm pretty sure Larry and Tim didn't go out there thinking how can we get all these trees out of here a piss Chad off. It was probably better for the course. If you want to complain about some trees getting cleaned up then you probably shouldn't pay attention to ANY maintenance that takes place. Yeah it makes lines bigger now but they will grow right back. It's called maintenance for a reason. Thanks for letting us know who did the work so I can thank them for cleaning up the course.
chad curtis October 15, 2012 at 9:50pm
Larry Schuiteboer and Tim Weimer took it upon themselves to cut down 50 or so trees at Irving Park in Battle Creek. They also threatened club members who asked them to stop cutting trees. Please let these 2 scumbags know that cutting trees in your line is cowardly and unacceptable.

I confirmed the actual scores are correct from what Tim sent. I assume looking at the scores that the course played was incorrect and changed it to the 24 hole layout. That should correct the over under par difference.
Scott Wilson July 22, 2010 at 2:24pm
did you play 24 or 21 holes.

Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly recently singled out Suffolk Law School as one of the top Boston schools that have "wholeheartedly embraced" teaching technology as a necessary skill for successful lawyers.
"If graduates have this kind of background, they'll be more attractive to clients than if they came out of law school just knowing how to practice law in the traditional sense," said Suffolk Law Professor Andrew M. Perlman, director of our new legal tech concentration (and an early Google Glass tester).
Don't just take our word for it: Read the article.
Innovation Hub: Top 13 in the Nation
The hub of Suffolk Law's legal tech efforts is its Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation, which was ranked among the top 13 law technology programs by the ABA's eLawyering Task Force in 2013. Through Director and Law Professor Andrew Perlman, the institute partners with firms and businesses interested in legal tech innovation. The institute offers programs, courses and public lectures to spark public discourse on technology's transformation of the practice of law and the delivery of legal services.
Law Tech 'Major'
Our legal tech and innovation concentration is one of the first law school "majors" in the country. We are equipping students with skills for a rapidly evolving legal marketplace. Coursework includes "Lawyering in the Age of Smart Machines," "Process Improvement and Legal Project Management," "The 21st Century Legal Profession," as well as business electives offered at Suffolk's Sawyer Business School. Students will also take internships with companies and firms with legal tech focus. All of this is part of Suffolk Law's goal of preparing our graduates for practice on Day One.

Species is a 1995 science fiction horror film directed by Roger Donaldson, and starring Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, Marg Helgenberger, and Natasha Henstridge. The film is about a group of scientists who try to track down and trap a killer alien seductress before she successfully mates with a human male. The film produced one theatrical sequel in 1998, Species II, which had Henstridge, Madsen, and Helgenberger reprise their roles. It was followed by the direct-to-video Species III in 2004 and Species: The Awakening in 2007, which stands as a separate film, not as an official follow-up to the previous three.
Earth's scientists sent out transmissions with information about Earth and its inhabitants, DNA structure, etc., in hopes of finding life beyond Earth. They then receive transmissions from an alien source on how to create endless fuel effortlessly. Therefore, the scientists assume that this is a friendly alien species. But from a second alien transmission, the scientists receive information about an alien DNA along with instructions on how to splice it with human DNA. A government team led by Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley) goes forward with the genetic experiment hoping to induce a female with "more docile and controllable" traits. The alien is the result of the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) program. One of the hundred experimental ova produces a girl named Sil, who looks like a normal human but develops into a 12-year old in 3 months. Sil's violent outbursts during sleep make the scientists consider her a threat. They try to kill her using cyanide gas but instead she breaks out of her containment cell and escapes. The government assembles a team composed of anthropologist Dr. Stephen Arden (Alfred Molina), molecular biologist Dr. Laura Baker (Marg Helgenberger), empath Dan Smithson (Forest Whitaker) and mercenary Preston "Press" Lennox (Michael Madsen) to track and destroy Sil. Sil matures rapidly into an adult (Natasha Henstridge) in her early twenties and makes her way to Los Angeles. This makes tracking her extremely difficult. She is incredibly strong and intelligent with amazing regenerative powers. The scientists fear she may mate with human males and produce offspring that could eliminate the human race. Sil lacks inhibitions when it comes to killing people who get in her way and wants to produce offspring as soon as possible. She frequently morphs into her alien form, a bipedal creature with tentacles on her shoulders and back. Sil tries first to mate with a man she meets at a night club, but after sensing that he is diabetic, rejects and kills him by puncturing his skull with her tongue. She then tries to mate with a man she meets after a car accident. They swim in the man's pool where Sil forces the man to open his swimming trunks in order to mate, but the man refuses. This is interrupted by Press and Laura. She kills the man and flees naked into a forest without being seen by the team. She pretends to be a rape victim, and then proceeds to kidnap a woman. She fakes her death by crashing the woman's car into a tree during a high-speed chase. After cutting and dyeing her hair, she takes an attraction to Press and attempts to seduce him. She eventually copulates with Arden; then kills him when he realizes who she is and what he has done. The rest of the team then follow her into the sewers where Fitch is subsequently killed and the area where she and her offspring are destroyed. Press uses a grenade launcher on Sil, blowing her head off. The trio leaves the area. The last scene shows a rat chewing on one of Sil's severed tentacles; it starts to mutate into a vicious beast and attacks another rat.
