BOSTON � The Bruins hammered the Red Wings during the first 20 minutes of their Stanley Cup playoff game Sunday, building an 18-10 edge in shots while taking a 2-0 lead into intermission at TD Garden.
What the Bruins didn't do was deliver a definitive knockout blow by getting a third goal despite numerous quality chances.
And after a stagnant second period, in part due to killing off three penalties, they found their lead tenuously sliced in half when a shot by Darren Helm following a terrific individual move bounced off the glove of Luke Glendening and past Tuukka Rask at 13:20 of the second.
"As poor as we were, I thought in the second period we got the game to right where we wanted it," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
And then Milan Lucic finished off a give-and-go with Jarome Iginla, his shot from the left side powering off goalie Jimmy Howard's stick and into the net with 1:12 left in the period.
"It's a simple two-on-two cross play, and we don't execute," Babcock said. "Now we're down 3-1 and the game's over. We weren't very good here tonight. Give them credit, they were better and we didn't respond. We didn't play faster."
The Bruins got a power-play goal from Zdeno Chara at 2:27 of the third and that closed out the scoring in their 4-1 win that evened this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at a game apiece.
Lucic crashed into the boards before his goal, cutting up his foot "pretty good" with his own skate blade. He considered leaving the ice, but opted to stick it out.
"Iggy made a great fake-shot pass to find me driving the net there," Lucic said, also crediting Torey Krug for his pass that set the critical play in motion. "So good thing I stayed on the ice there, and it ended up being a big goal to regain that two-goal lead."
Lucic got a couple of stitches in the foot between periods, noting the injury was "a long way from the heart, right?"
Special-team kings
The Bruins were superb on special teams, going 4 for 4 on the penalty kill and 2 for 4 on the power play.
The Red Wings have no goals and one shot in six man-advantage opportunities through two games. What's even more impressive is the B's are getting it done without two of their principal penalty killers as Chris Kelly (back) and Daniel Paille (concussion) have yet to play in the series.
Rookie Justin Florek and veteran David Krejci, who has past penalty-kill experience, have capably filled the void.
"Our regular guys continue to do a good job on it, but then new guys have come in and really stepped up and replaced those missing guys in a good way," coach Claude Julien said.
In addition to Chara, Reilly Smith also scored on the power play.
"Penalty kill to me is extremely important," Julien said. "Our penalty kill right now is doing a pretty good job, but when you have both units being able to do the job right, it helps a lot. Obviously, it was a big difference in tonight's game, the penalty kill being so good and getting those power-play goals."
Hard-hitting Miller
Defenseman Kevan Miller was in and out of practice last week before sitting out Game 1 with a virus.
"I wouldn't wish it on anyone," he said. "It wasn't a good situation."
But Miller was good to go Sunday and made a big impact in his NHL playoff debut, dishing out four hits and blocking two shots over 25 shifts and nearly 20 minutes of ice time.
"It was tough to watch Friday and see the guys out there battling," Miller said. "To be able to be out there was exciting."
Two of Miller's hits came in the game's opening minutes and were definitely statement makers.
"I think as a team we kind of wanted to do that � come out early, come out on our toes," Miller said. "It's always good to get a hit to get going early."
Getting rougher
One of the big topics after Game 1 was the lack of penalties called � two on the Bruins and one on the Red Wings � with the general consensus being Detroit could have been whistled for numerous instances of interference.
That wasn't the case Sunday as the Red Wings and Bruins were both tagged for seven infractions.
"Well it should be called," defenseman Johnny Boychuk said. "If it's on us or it's on them, if it's a penalty it should be called. In the playoffs you can kind of get away with a little bit, but some of them are obvious. They did a good job today on both teams, and that's that."
The belief is the rougher the play, the more it favors the Bruins. That motion was seconded by Wings coach Mike Babcock after looking at a scoresheet that saw his club hit with four roughing penalties and the B's with three.
"We haven't had four roughing calls this year," Babcock said. "So you've got to do what you do, not what they do."
Medical report
While Miller returned, Kelly, Paille and defenseman Matt Bartkowski (virus) were once again inactive, with defenseman Corey Potter, who played in Game 1, a healthy scratch.
Julien confirmed all three injured players will travel with the team to Detroit, but had no idea if any of them would play � especially with regard to Bartkowski.
"When we're talking about a virus, it's hard to stand here and say, 'This guy will be in, this guy won't be in,' and that really becomes a day-to-day situation," Julien said.
Bear Facts
The Bruins improved to 19-28 all-time in Game 2s of a best-of-seven series after dropping the opener. � The Bruins had lost Game 2 of their first-round series each of the past three seasons � to the Canadiens in 2011, the Capitals in '12 and the Maple Leafs last year. � Red Wings forward Daniel Alfredsson, who was an offseason target of the Bruins, has zero shots through two games. � The sellout crowd of 17,566 included Patriots owner Robert Kraft, someone in an Easter Bunny suit and, taking away fan-of-the-game honors, a guy dressed as Jesus.

Issue Position: Energy Solutions
Hardworking families and small businesses are struggling with the recent increases in gas prices and more must be done to decrease our dependence on foreign oil. Inventing the technologies that will make America energy independent will create jobs and improve America's national security, which is why Congresswoman Gillibrand voted to fund record investments in renewable energies, such as cellulosic ethanol, solar, wind and hydro power as well as tax credits for small businesses and consumers to create and use alternative energy in their homes and businesses.
Congresswoman Gillibrand has also sponsored legislation to strip tax breaks from oil and gas companies making record profits and reinvest this money in alternative energies.
Kirsten understands that Upstate New York and the North Country contain some of the most beautiful lands in the United States and she is dedicated to preserving their pristine nature. A strong supporter of conservation, she believes Upstate New York can be the leader in developing the technologies that will replace environmentally unfriendly fossil fuels.
Finally, for the first time in over thirty years, Congresswoman Gillibrand helped pass the first increase in gas mileage standards, which will lower America's gas consumption and save consumers money. She also voted for legislation that will increase penalties for price gougers.
To provide immediate help at the pump, Congresswoman Gillibrand has called for the President to increase domestic oil supply immediately and release 15 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve. She has also sponsored legislation to increase domestic production by forcing oil and gas companies to use existing leases on federal lands that currently are not being used.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
11:48 23 May 2013
If you are looking for a mid-sized personal loan, you couldn't have chosen a better time as peer-to-peer lender Zopa has unveiled the cheapest personal loan rate ever! Here, we take a closer look at what you need to know about the deal.
What's the deal?
Zopa is a peer-to-peer lender, not a bank or building society. This means that the money will be lent to you by range of consumers using the Zopa website to get better returns than they would from a standard savings account. You can read more about this in Melanie Wright's article, Peer-to-peer: the phenomenon taking savers by storm. From your point of view however, it's just the same as borrowing through a traditional lender.
The all-time low annual percentage rate (APR) of 4.9% applies to borrowing of between £7,500 and £10,000, and to loans repaid between one and three years. Obviously, the shorter timeframe you choose, the less interest you will pay.
Who is it good for?
Anyone with a good credit score looking for a loan of between these amounts, and who is unfazed by making applications entirely online.
Any catches?
The first major hurdle is that, to benefit from this sub-5% rate, you'll need to act fast - it's only available untilWednesday, 22 May.
If you do find time to apply between now and then, bear in mind that, as with any other bank or building society, the rate you see advertised is only representative which, legally, means it only needs to be offered to 51% of successful applicants. So, depending on your credit score, you may not be offered the 4.9% rate you see - if you are offered a loan at all.
Bear in mind also that, as they need to protect the people who lend to you, peer-to-peer websites like Zopa can be quite strict when assessing borrowing applications.
Finally, if you were looking to keep your monthly loan repayments down, the maximum repayment term on this loan is three years but you can get up to five years elsewhere.
What's the verdict?
At sub-5%, the rate on the Zopa loan is not only the cheapest on the market, but the cheapest on record, which has to be good news. However, its lending competitors are trailing very close behind and, in some circumstances, could actually be the better option.
Derbyshire Building Society, for example, is offering a personal loan rate of 5% on the same minimum loan size of £7,500. But this rate applies to borrowing all the way up to £15,000 which is better for anyone looking to borrow more than £10,000. What's more, the Derbyshire allows you to spread the repayments up to five years - longer than the three offered by Zopa.
Sainsbury's Bank offers a similar deal at 5% on loans of £7,500 and £15,000 but on a maximum term of three years - and you will also need a Nectar card to apply.
Top tip!
As we have mentioned, in order to grab the best loan rates, you will need an excellent credit score - but if you make too many applications and are rejected, this score can be damaged further entering you into a downward spiral.
You can avoid this however by employing our loans Smart Search facility which will give you an idea of how likely it is you'll be accepted for a loan before you actually apply.
Please note: Any rates or deals mentioned in this article were available at the time of writing. Click on a highlighted product and apply direct.

Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) May 22, 2008 -- Growing Generations, the nationâs largest surrogacy agency, has launched a new program that provides surrogacy and egg donation services to men with HIV and allows them to use their own sperm to create biological families.
The new program is made possible due to advances in technology that can test semen for the virus as well as the implementation of recent California legislation enacted in January that provides the opportunity to use semen from someone with HIV for assisted reproduction. The company already has five cases of men with HIV working with egg donors and surrogates, and expects the number to grow as more people become aware of the availability of the service.
âWe are pleased that science and legislation have come together to provide a safe and reasonable approach on this issue,â Growing Generations President Gail Taylor said. âAs we have been since our founding in 1996, we are committed to assisting individuals who have not always been embraced by the mainstream in creating loving homes for very wanted children. This includes gay men, single parents and now people with HIV.â
Participants in Growing Generationsâ new program go through the same process as other clients with the addition of an extensive screening and preparation process for the sperm. Many men with HIV show no material trace of the virus in their semen.
âWe have known for many years that with proper medication and care, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives,â Taylor added. âNow, they can also make what is the ultimate life choice for many people and create their own biologically connected family.â
To learn more about Growing Generations, please visit http://www.growinggenerations.com.

text: I'm a lvl 32 meteorb about halfway in act 5 (just saved Anya)and I just found a new weapon, but I'm not 100% sure if it's better than what I got. My main spells is ofcourse fireball, meteor and frozen orb. My current weapon is Gale song it has: +2 to fireball + 1 to frozen armor, Hit causing monster to flee 50%, 10 mana, cold resist 25%(I'm a bit over the cap on that one, so it would only go down to 61), and 25% fire resist. The other one that I just found is Loath Whorl that has: 5% chance to cast lvl 3 chain lightening on attack, +1 to all fire skills, 10% faster cast rate, + 1 to chain lightening, hit causes monster to flee 100%, +12 to life, + 34 to mana and half freeze duration. So it's better in all espect exept the resist. So my question is really how importent are the cold and fireresist? I've seen many mobs useing one or the other in this act, but is it worth the buff I get othervice from the new weapon? I'm playing pure, so no getting any super weapon from tradeing. While I'm asking questions: is there any resist ( or other stats) I should try to max out for Baal, before I get to him? It's poision for Andarial, frost for Duriel, and fire and lightening for Diablo, but I never tried my hands on Baal before so don't know anything about him. And how hard is he compaired to Diablo f.eks?

Описание: The quest for an effective fighter airplane to achieve air superiority during World War 1 resulted in a series of pusher fighter planes, designed with the engine at the rear and the machine gun at the front. These ungainly, heavy looking fighters did surprisingly well and they were able to hold their own against their German counterparts - including the Fokker Eindeckers with their synchronized machine guns - until 1917. By then, however, the drag-producing design rendered the pusher fighter unable to match the performance of tractor-engined machines. This is the story of the unusual pusher and its many aces, including Lanoe Hawker VC, who formed and led Britain's first fighter squadron before dying in a ten-minute duel with Manfred von Richtofen, American 'cowboy' ace Frederick Libby, third-ranking French ace Charles Nungesser and the aggressive Belgian ace Fernand Jacquet. Packed with colorful artwork of a variety of pusher designs, paint schemes, and camouflage from many different nationalities, this book guides you through the twists and turns of this bizarre yet surprisingly successful fighter during World War 1.

Physiological/pathophysiological alterations in proximal tubular Pireabsorption are associated with an altered brush-border membrane (BBM) expression of type II Na-Pi cotransporter molecules. Reduction is achieved by an internalization and lysosomal degradation and an increase in Pi reabsorption by new synthesis and BBM insertion of type II Na-Pi cotransporters. In the present study, we investigated by immunohistochemistry and immunogold electron microscopy the routing of internalized rat type II Na-Picotransporters (NaPi-2). In kidney of rats on a chronic low-Pi diet, NaPi-2 is mainly localized in the BBM, in cisterns of the Golgi apparatus and sparsely also in large endocytotic vacuoles and lysosomes. Fifteen minutes after the injection of the 1–34 analog of parathyroid hormone (PTH), the amount of NaPi-2 was decreased in the BBM and increased in endocytotic vesicles. NaPi-2 molecules colocalized with horseradish peroxidase injected prior to the injection of PTH. Vesicles labeled for NaPi-2 were occasionally also labeled for clathrin or the adaptor protein AP2. We conclude that NaPi-2 molecules enter the subapical compartment from where NaPi-2-containing vesicles are segregated off and directed to the lysosomes. A clathrin-mediated pathway may contribute to the PTH-induced internalization of NaPi-2.

phosphate reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule is a major mechanism in the maintenance of overall Pihomeostasis; it is a Na+-dependent, secondary active process involving Na-Pi cotransport across the brush-border membrane (BBM) as a rate-limiting step (21, 22). A type II Na-Pi cotransporter seems to determine largely in different species the rate of BBM Pi flux and thus of proximal tubular Pi reabsorption (13, 23). Recent knockout experiments in mice documented that the type II Na-Picotransport-mediated transport contributes up to 70% of BBM Pi flux (1). Alterations in the activity of this cotransporter also account for physiological (e.g., PTH, dietary intake) and pathophysiological (e.g., X-linked hypophosphatemia) alterations in proximal tubular Pi reabsorption. Thereby these alterations are always associated with a different BBM expression of type II Na-Pi cotransporter protein (11, 14, 17, 29).
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) leads to a reduction in the expression of the rat-specific type II Na-Pi cotransporter (NaPi-2) at the BBM, thereby explaining the phosphaturic action of PTH (11, 17). Surprisingly, the decrease in the expression of the NaPi-2 molecules involves also their lysosomal degradation (12). Similar observations were made in studies on OK cells, a cell line with some proximal tubular characteristics (25, 26). The latter study also documented that recovery from PTH-inhibition requires de novo protein synthesis and that a recycling of "retrieved" transporters does not play a major role in the recovery process (26, 18).
Little is known on the mechanisms of initial PTH-dependent internalization of NaPi-2 molecules and on their subsequent intracellular routing to the lysosomes. In the present study, we characterize by immunofluorescence and by immunogold electron microscopy the effects of PTH on the cellular distribution of NaPi-2 molecules in rat kidneys. We infused also horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to label a general endocytotic pathway and performed immunogold labeling against NaPi-2, HRP, clathrin, and the adaptor protein 2 (AP2) to characterize the intracellular routing of NaPi-2.
Experimental animals. The experiments were performed with 12 male Wistar rats (BRL, Basel, Switzerland) of 180–200 g body wt, 3 animals per group. The rats had free access to laboratory chow and tap water. All rats were fed during 5 days a low-Pi diet (0.1% Pi). Rats in group 1 (low Pi) remained untreated and served as controls for groups 2–4. Rats in group 2 were treated with PTH. Rats in group 3were treated with HRP (low Pi + HRP), rats of group 4 were treated with HRP and PTH (HRP + PTH) prior to fixation of the kidneys.
Application of HRP and PTH and fixation. Rats were anesthetized with thiopental (Pentothal, 100 mg/kg body wt) injected intraperitoneally, their abdominal cavity was opened, and the aorta and vena cava were exposed. Animals of group 2 received 100 μg PTH (dissolved in 250 μl of 0.9% saline; Bachem, Bubendorf, Switzerland) as a single bolus injected into the vena cava. In animals of group 3, 2 ml of HRP-PBS solution (25 mg HRP, Sigma type II, dissolved in 2 ml PBS; Sigma, Buchs, Switzerland) was injected within 2 min into the vena cava. In rats of group 4, PTH (as in group 2) was injected immediately following the HRP injection. Fifteen minutes after injection, all animals were fixed by vascular perfusion via the abdominal aorta, at a pressure of 1.38 hectopascals, as described previously (5). The fixative consisted of 3% paraformaldehyde and 0.05% picric acid in 0.6 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4; containing 3 mM MgCl2 and adjusted to 300 mosmol/kgH2O with sucrose) and 4% hydroxyethyl starch in saline (HAES steril; Fresenius, Stans, Switzerland). After 5 min, the fixative in the right kidney, destined for immunohistochemistry, was washed out by perfusion for 5 min with cacodylate buffer. The left kidney, designated for immunogold electron microscopy, after perfusion fixation was postfixed for 2 h in the same fixative as described above, added with 0.1% glutaraldehyde.
Immunohistochemistry. Slices of fixed kidneys were frozen in liquid propane, cooled with liquid nitrogen, and mounted onto thin cork slices. Sections, 3 μm thick, were cut at −22°C in the cryomicrotome, mounted on chromalum/gelatine-coated glass slides, thawed, and stored in cold PBS until use. For immunofluorescence staining, sections were pretreated with 3% milk powder in PBS for 10 min. They were incubated overnight at 4°C with a rabbit anti-rat polyclonal antiserum against the NaPi-2 protein (4) diluted 1:500 in 3% milk powder in PBS containing 0.3% Triton X-100. Mouse monoclonal antibodies against HRP (Sigma) were diluted 1:250; monoclonal antibodies against the α-subunit of the adaptor protein 2 (AP2) (Sigma) and against clathrin (Progen, Bad Zurzach, Switzerland) were diluted 1:50. For double staining, the monoclonal antibodies were diluted in PBS/milk powder containing the NaPi-2 antiserum. Sections were then rinsed three times with PBS and covered for 45 min at 4°C with the secondary antibodies. Swine anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC; Dakopatts, Glostrup, Denmark) was diluted 1:50, goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated to Cy3 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) was diluted 1:500 in PBS/milk powder, and these were used as secondary antibodies. Finally, the sections were rinsed three times with distilled water, coverslipped using DAKO-Glycergel (Dakopatts) containing 2.5% 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO; Sigma, St. Louis, MO) as a fading retardant and studied by an epifluorescence microscope (Polyvar, Reichert-Jung, Austria).
Unspecific binding of the secondary antibodies to the tissue was tested by omitting the primary antibody. All control incubations were clearly negative.
Labeling for immunoelectron microscopy. For NaPi-2 labeling, we have affinity purified the polyclonal rabbit antiserum (4) (dilution 1:150) and have used the same mouse monoclonal antibodies as for immunohistochemistry. Dilution of monoclonal antibodies against HRP was 1:300. The monoclonal antibodies against clathrin and AP2 were diluted 1:100. Primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in PBS containing 3% bovine serum albumin, 0.02% Triton X-100, and 0.01% Tween-20. The goat anti-rabbit antiserum was coupled to 12-nm gold particles, and the goat anti-mouse serum was coupled to 6-nm gold particles. Gold-coupled secondary antibodies were diluted to an OD525 of 0.1–0.2 (12-nm gold particles) and of 0.06 (6-nm gold particles). Conjugation of the goat serum to gold particles was performed according to Slot and Geuze (28). Unspecific binding of the secondary antibodies to the tissue was tested by replacement of the primary antibody by either preimmune serum or PBS.
Ultrathin cryosections were prepared based on the methods of Griffiths et al. (6). Briefly, after tissue fixation as described above, small pieces of rat kidney were infiltrated with 2 M sucrose containing 10% (wt/vol) polyvinylpyrrolidone. The samples were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen; ultrathin sections of 80 nm were cut at −120°C using a Leica Ultracut UCT. The sections were transferred to polyvinyl chloride/polyvinyl acetate (0.3% in chloroform)-covered nickel grids, and stored on 1% gelatin at 4°C overnight. The nickel grids with the ultrathin cryosections were first incubated for 5 min in 50 mM NH4Cl to quench free aldehyde groups, then they were incubated for 10 min in PBS, containing 3% bovine serum albumin, 0.02% Triton X-100, and 0.01% Tween-20. Thereafter, the grids were transferred for 1 h at 37°C onto droplets of the primary antibodies, washed in PBS, and incubated for 1 h at room temperature on droplets with the respective secondary antibodies. Double labeling was performed by mixing both primary antibodies and both secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit 12-nm gold and goat anti-mouse 6-nm gold). Following incubations with secondary antibodies, the grids were rinsed with PBS and postfixed for 10 min in 1% glutaraldehyde in PBS. After postfixation, the grids were rinsed first with PBS, second with cacodylate buffer, and third with distilled water. The sections were contrasted in 2% (wt/vol) methylcellulose containing 0.2% uranyl acetate for 10 min and examined on a Philips model CM 100 electron microscope.
All experiments were made with rats, fed for 5 days a diet with low phosphate (Pi) content (0.1%). Previous studies have shown that this condition (similar to parathyroidectomy; 17) leads to marked upregulation of NaPi-2 in the BBM (14). Therefore the high NaPi-2 abundance in the BBM of rats adapted to low Pi intake is appropriate as a starting point for studying pathways involved in downregulation of NaPi-2 abundance in BBM, acutely induced by PTH injection. The results of the different treatments were homogeneous in each group. The micrographs in Figs. 1-4 are representative for the respective groups.
Distribution pattern of NaPi-2 in proximal tubules. In rats fed for 5 days a low-Pi diet (group 1), labeling for NaPi-2 is strong in the BBM. Very weak immunofluorescence is seen in the cytoplasm, immediately below the brush border. The perinuclear region is distinctly labeled (Fig.1 A). The NaPi-2 distribution observed in ultrathin cryostat sections extends above data. Gold particles, indicating sites of NaPi-2, are abundant on the brush-border microvilli (Fig. 1 C), some are seen on the membranes, invaginated into the apical cytoplasm, and in large vesicles in the subapical cytoplasm. Cisterns of the Golgi apparatus are distinctly labeled (Fig. 1 E), and occasionally gold particles are found in lysosomes (Fig. 1 F).
Animals of group 2 were injected intravenously with PTH. This treatment is known to downregulate NaPi-2 abundance in the BBM (11,17). Fifteen minutes after PTH injection, the brush border reveals a weaker immunofluorescence for NaPi-2 (Fig. 1 B) than in rats ofgroup 1 (Fig. 1 A). Yet, in contrast to the control group, a broad immunofluorescent rim is apparent in the cytoplasm below the brush border (Fig. 1 B). In ultrathin sections, the lower abundance of NaPi-2 in the brush border and the higher abundance in the subapical compartment (Fig. 1 D) is also apparent. The subapical region comprises the so-called vacuolar (endocytotic) apparatus, which consists of different-sized endocytotic vesicles and "dense" apical tubules (19). After PTH treatment, the dense apical tubules seem to be expanded. The gold particles are accumulated over the enlarged tubular profiles (Fig. 1 D). These tubulovesicular profiles of the vacuolar apparatus are the structural correlate for the subapical fluorescent rim in the proximal tubules of the PTH-treated rats (Fig. 1 B).
Colocalization of NaPi-2, AP2, and clathrin in PTH-treated rats. To elucidate whether proteins, which play an essential role in receptor-mediated endocytosis, are involved in NaPi-2 downregulation, we studied the distribution of clathrin and the adaptor protein AP2, together with NaPi-2. The heterotetrameric AP2 complex interacts with clathrin and the cytoplasmic domain of receptor proteins (15).
In proximal tubules of PTH-treated rats, the immunofluorescent distribution of AP2 is approximately congruent with the extension of the subapical rim (Fig. 2 A; compare with Fig. 1 B). Immunofluorescence for clathrin is restricted to a narrow rim at the top of the AP2-positive region (Fig.2 D). The brush border is negative for both proteins. Immunogold double labeling for NaPi-2 and AP2 reveals occasional colocalization of them at the base of the invaginations of the microvillous membrane (Fig. 2 B). Both proteins, AP2 and NaPi-2, are detectable in endocytotic vesicles (Fig. 2 C). Occasional colocalization of NaPi-2 and clathrin is seen exclusively in the membrane invaginations at the base of the brush border (Fig. 2 E).
Double labeling for HRP and NaPi-2. The distribution pattern of NaPi-2 in the proximal tubule after HRP injection is in all respects identical to that in group 1 (Fig.3 A; compare with Fig. 1 A). Fifteen minutes after HRP injection, a weak HRP immunofluorescence is apparent in the subapical cytoplasm below the unstained brush border. HRP seems to be accumulated in large vesicles immediately below this rim and in a few basally located vesicles (Fig. 3 B). The immunofluorescence pattern of NaPi-2 after injection of HRP followed by a PTH injection is identical to that after PTH alone (Fig. 3 C; compare with Fig. 1 B). In proximal tubules of PTH-treated kidneys, HRP is accumulated in rather coarse granules in the subapical cytoplasm, corresponding to the region of the enlarged structures of the vacuolar apparatus (Fig. 3 D; compare with Fig. 1,B and D). A few large fluorescent granules are seen below this rim and occasionally also in basal cytoplasm.
Double labeling of NaPi-2 and HRP at the electron microscopic level confirms that HRP and NaPi-2 occur in the same structures: in the membrane invaginations at the base of the brush-border microvilli (Fig.4 A), in profiles of small vesicles and tubules of the vacuolar apparatus (Fig. 4 B), in large endocytotic vacuoles (Fig. 4 C), and also in the lysosomes (Fig.4 D).
PTH inhibits efficiently and within a delay of a few minutes renal Pi reabsorption by decreasing the abundance of the type II Na-Pi cotransporter in the BBM of proximal tubules (11, 16,17).
In the present study on rats, we trace by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy the pathway and fate of PTH-induced internalized NaPi-2 (rat type II Na-Pi cotransporter) in proximal tubular cells. By colabeling of NaPi-2 and of proteins, known to be involved in endocytosis, and by labeling the fluid phase endocytosis pathway by HRP injection, we demonstrate that the intracellular routing of NaPi-2 follows the pathway of internalized HRP. This pathway involves small endocytotic vesicles, which fuse with the cisterns and tubes ("early endosomes") of the vacuolar apparatus, situated in the subapical compartment. From there both HRP and NaPi-2 are targeted via large endocytotic vacuoles ("late endosomes") into lysosomes. These observations are in agreement with previous data from our laboratory which have clearly revealed that internalized NaPi-2 enters the degradative pathway (12). As an alternative, PTH-induced downregulation and subapical accumulation of NaPi-2 transporters could be explained by a reduced rate of insertion of newly and constantly synthesized NaPi-2 proteins into the BBM. Such a mechanism, however, would require a PTH-induced degradation of NaPi-2 cotransporters at the brush border site. Evidence for such a mechanism has not been obtained to date. The involvement of the subapical vacuolar apparatus in the pathway of an internalized membrane protein, not belonging to the class of receptors or receptor-bound proteins, had been suggested by prior data of our laboratory (16) and is substantiated by the present study. The vacuolar apparatus consists of a network with a complex three-dimensional structure, composed of so-called dense apical tubules, with their ends occasionally adorned with clathrin-coated buds. The dense apical tubules have a few connections to the apical membrane and are sometimes fused with larger endocytotic vacuoles (7). Clathrin-coated vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus may fuse with this system and may also pinch off to fuse with the apical membrane. On the other side, clathrin-coated vesicles, derived from the apical membrane carrying cargo of endocytosed proteins fuse as well with this compartment (20, 24). Thus this compartment may be seen as a "meeting point" of protein trafficking to and from the apical membrane. Hence, the coincidence of HRP and internalized NaPi-2 in the same compartment is not surprising. A striking feature, however, is the transient marked enlargement of this compartment during NaPi-2 internalization. Fifteen minutes after injection of PTH, to initiate internalization of NaPi-2, the dense apical tubules are enormously enlarged and the vacuolar apparatus forms a large, even in light microscopic preparations, well-recognizable rim in the apical cytoplasm of proximal tubules. Studies from our laboratory (17a) have demonstrated that 1 h after PTH treatment the structure of this region has returned to its normal aspect. Cui et al. (3) recently documented similar structural changes in proximal tubules of rats after injection of the cytological stain light green, often used for staining of tubules in vivo. This stain is rapidly taken up into the cells. Cui et al. (3) interpreted their findings as a toxic effect of the light green. In the case of PTH-induced NaPi-2 downregulation, we assume that the rapid and transient enlargement of this compartment is rather an equivalent for rapid and massive membrane traffic than of toxicity. In rats adapted to a low phosphate intake and subsequently fed with high-phosphate diet, the enlargement of this compartment, filled with NaPi-2 transporters, is also observed at early time periods but not after prolonged feeding of high-Pidiets (27).
Clathrin-coated invaginations are found at the base of the microvilli. The occasionally observed colocalizations of NaPi-2 and the adaptor protein AP2 and clathrin suggest that PTH-induced internalization of NaPi-2 may involve clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The involvement of a clathrin-mediated internalization is supported by previous studies on OK opossum kidney cells showing that a reduction of the endocytosis rate by high medium osmolarity reduced the PTH effect on Na-Pi cotransport (10). Hypertonicity is known to inhibit clathrin-coated endocytosis (8). Furthermore, in most recent experiments on OK cells, we could document that OK cell-specific type II Na-Pi cotransporter (NaPi-4) labeled at the apical surface with biotin is internalized after PTH treatment (Jankowski, unpublished observations). PTH-induced internalization of type II Na-Pi cotransporters via a non-clathrin-mediated endocytotic pathway cannot be ruled out by our presented data on rat proximal tubules or on OK cells. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is involved in regulating the membrane expression of other transport systems, e.g., the vasopressin-dependent water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in collecting duct principal cells and LLC-PK1 cells (9, 2).
In the present study, we have used the fluid-phase marker HRP to label the endocytotic pathway and to analyze whether NaPi-2 follows the same route. HRP is filtrated in the glomerulus and immediately internalized in the proximal tubule via fluid-phase endocytosis at the base of the microvilli, subsequently found in subapical tubular structures and later on in the lysosomes (30). After 15 min, HRP is visible in the endocytotic apparatus, including coated pits, apical tubules, and apical vacuoles, whereas HRP is sparsely detectable in the lysosomes. The downregulation of NaPi-2 in the BBM and its increase in the subapical compartment coincides with an accumulation of HRP in the same subapical zone after PTH injection. This points to a cointernalization of NaPi-2 and HRP to the same cellular compartments.
In summary, we have shown in our study that PTH leads to an internalization of NaPi-2 from the BBM via the endocytotic invaginations between the base of the microvilli (Fig.5). Furthermore, after internalization, NaPi-2 and HRP have the same intracellular fate. They are directed via small endocytotic vesicles to the subapical tubulovesicular compartment, where they accumulate. This is associated with an expansion of the respective subapical structures. After passing through this compartment, both proteins are carried by large vacuoles, possibly derived from the subapical compartment, to the lysosomes for degradation. The precise mechanisms involved in moving NaPi-2 molecules from the top of a microvillus down to the clefts and the mechanisms involved in the PTH-induced retrieval of NaPi-2 from the BBM have yet to be determined.

"It's shameful that the UDF party wants to take us back to the dark days,"
Mr Gwanda Chakuamba (2003)
Monday, April 16, 2007
BY Caroline Somanje
08:20:21 - 16 April 2007
The Malawi government over the weekend donated assorted items worth K11 million in aid of over 300,000 Mozambicans affected by floods earlier this year.
Most of the people were left homeless and without food when Cyclone Flavio hit the country.
A three-man delegation of defence minister Davies Katsonga, disaster preparedness minister Richard Msowoya and deputy minister of transport and public works, Charles Mchacha presented the donation to Mozambique on Friday.
The donated items were 100 metric tones of maize flour, one tone each of beans and rice, 2,000 litres of cooking oil, 2,000 plastic plates, 5,500 plastic plates, 5,500 plastic cups and 8,000 plastic spoons which were given at Caia, Provincial capital of Sofala Province.
Sofala province is located some 510 kms South of Nsanje.
Speaking in an interview Sunday, Katsonga said the donation was made as a kind gesture in response to Mozambique's calamity.
"The idea was presented to cabinet where it was debated and passed. On Friday, we found helicopters still dropping relief items to the area symbolising a dire need," said Katsonga.
Asked whether the gesture was not hypocritical considering that Malawi has a fair share of her own problems, Katsonga said, "We have enough food to deal with our issues. We have had no complaint from any of the flood affected areas in this country so there is no reason for self-pity".
Part of the donation was K500,000 cash from a Mr. Kassam, owner of Manobec mining company.
Arkay industries also donated 2,500 each of plastic cups and plates.

Many thanks for the donation. Im a mozambican, historian and researcher at the Southern African Research and Documentation Centre-SARDC-Mozambique.
I´ve been in Malawi for eight years and really appreciated the way you welcomed refugees there. And it seems you didnt forget us. Once again, may god bless malawians and their leaders.
I aleways try to maintain contacts with malawian bloggers. Unfortunately I do not suceed. I know that its quite difficult for you to read on understand portuguese, but please, just give a look to my latest post, where I criticize mozambican media for not giving audiance to your mercy.
Always, Egidio Vaz, Maputo, Mozambique.

Wow aren't you just being a whiny asshole like everybody else
Honestly haven't played the game yet. 6th prestige on mwr. Might check out IW for this game mode.
Dont get how you can play that game that much. It is the definition of aids
It's old school. People want old school. They're sick of the futuristic shit.
It's called camp fest. I played cod 4, MWR does not play the same as cod 4 did. Everyone camps for good kd I remember cod 4 with everyone sniping and running around. Not get 3rd story with a m16 and post up. Only good thing part of mwr is S&D. #facts
The camping in cod4 has more to do with its campy map design than boots on the ground. In newer boots on the ground cods its not as easy to just spawn right into a cozy camping spot in the back of the map as you will be more exposed.
I play the same way as I used to and do just as well. It's not completely different. There's a reason people want boots on the ground. It's slower, it's more tactical, it's CAMPY.
But back then a few years ago people were getting sick of COD being "same shit, different year" aka old school boots on the ground?
And infinite warfare is not? Lol..
Never said it wasnt. But the balance in this game is beyond bad. It is AIDS
I mean, i think that's why it's pretty fun. I always thought the most unbalanced CoDs were the most fun
Cant forget about the non stop camping. 3-4 players on the other team every game i play camp in the same fucking spot.
Jetpacker spotted.
Well I touched MWR just to see how it looks! I played enough COD4 back in a day and MWR is nothing new to me. Currently playing original COD4 only for prop hunt server!!
what. MWR is literally the best. im prestige 1; still at lvl 22 in IW lol.
So Keshav you don't get bored after prestiging numerous times? Guess we are all different then cause I stop playing a COD game after a prestige or two and play something else then sometime a year later return.
Agreed. People were so eager for a Modern Military COD that they forgot about all the bullshit that was in CoD4. I will throw myself into that pile too. I forgot about M16 Stopping Power, and everyone camping becuase we had Kill Streaks instead of Score Streaks.
how are you 6th prestige already gah damn you need to take a break
You were just prestige 3 two days ago you liar. Keep your lies straight kid.
Omg ay
NY coroners put a long durag over dead bodies.
Watch as how everyone hypes this up, and then the playlist becomes friggin' empty after a week because everyone and their mother love boost jumping even though they couldn't openly admit it.
I really hope this happens. Shut all the whiny fuckwits up about " boo hoo, boots on the ground"

I'll definitely play it to get the sniper headshot challenges done, though.
I think the reason why people complain about boost jumping and wall running is because they're not good at it!!
I have a very strong feeling that COD2017 will be a 100% boots-on-ground.
Let's hope
disable wall running and add grapple hook i've been saying this since the reveal at E3
holy shit that's a terrible idea
Admittedly, I am interested.
It's going to be just as bad as AW with it's non exo mode. None of the IW maps are designed for boots on the ground. People will not enjoy it because without boost jumping, entire map sections will be cut off and people will camp in one area.
"except wall running is still enabled"
Thank you.
Wall run lanes should be edited with bridges that allow us to simply walk across them.
Holy shit someone with a well thought out plan to a problem, if I could give you a medal I would.
Problem + well thought out idea = solutions. Take notes motherfuckers.
All everyone wants is boots on the ground but in AW there was a BotG mode but no one played it and now they're bringing it to IW and I bet no one will play that either! WTF I thought all u bitches wanted BotG? What a bunch of fake ass whiners!!!
MWR sucks just like it did 9 years ago! M16 is overpowered and all everyone does is camp! Keep the new COD's fast paced like AW and BO3 all the campers want boots on the ground!! And Infinite Shitfare is GARBAGE!!!!
You mean advanced warfare 2
Nobody cares faggot. You use the nv4 woopty fucking doo.
I already quit this piece of crap game because of the jetpacking faggots and being spawn killed in the butt before I even have time to pull out my gun. Boots on the ground isn't going to fix it. You fucked up too hard already.
wont matter for PC, TDM and dom are the only modes people play.

Cascade Collision Repair - Lehi
Review for Cascade Collision Repair - Lehi
John J. on 07/01/2011
John said he was satisfied with the work that was done but not with the fact that they didn't replace the bin numbers on the panel and he cannot find the time to go back. He said he would recommend this facility but it's not the cheapest place to go to.

Regenerator 3017 is Djam Karet's 17th album. It reunites the original band members. The music sounds like classic Djam Karet but I also hear an obvious reference to the production of the 70s. Nice open sounding recording with nice dynamics.$11.00
Amazing how these guys are still able to bring it. A Night For Baku turns it up a notch and then kicks it into overdrive finding the boys from Cali unleashing their usual assortment of psych-tinged progressive mayhem.$15.00
Double CD at a budget price subtitled "Rock Improvisations From 1985-2002". Disc one features the band's original 1985 cassette only release "No Commercial Potential". Consisting of three long tracks it's a foreshadowing of all the firepower that would ensue in years to come.$15.00
2nd release from the fledgling Nearfest Records features a hot live set from California's answer to King Crimson with a dose of psychedelics tossed in for good measure. Spirited stuff!$14.00
Smokin' live set. I was there!!!$15.00
Reissue of their first album. A total corker!$15.00
Arguably the best American prog band going present us with their first album in 8 years. Its a 47 minute mindf**k of a journey - just one long continuous track. It starts out in quiet, ambient territory and then transmogrifies into something else.$11.00
Totally insane fretwork is the highlight from this new instrumental band from Mexico. Consisting of two guitarists, a bassist and a guest drummer, Metaconciencia combines elements of King Crimson, Djam Karet and even Steve Hackett's solo works.$14.00
The Red Zen is an instrumental quartet from Italy. Imagine a fusion album recorded by a progressive rock band. While their label tries to position them as a band in the style of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever, they really are more of a straight ahead prog band.$18.00
Pinhas is back and Cuneiform has him (once again). Incredible array of musicians evokes the good old days. Here is what Cuneiform says:$21.00
"Herd of Instinct combines the essence of experimental progressive with obvious recent King Crimson overtones, mixed in with the instrumental creativity of Djam Karet, a legendary US band that has musician Gayle Ellett handling the mellotron and synths.$10.00

When the attack of the Canadian Corps across the Canal du Nord opened on September 27th, the Third Division was held back with the intent of passing through when a bridgehead had been established. Following the successful crossing, Lipsett was tasked to secure the Tilloy Hill that dominated both Cambrai to the south and the Sheldt Canal to the east. A railway engine de-railing delayed the departure of the brigade from the assembly area and cost the troops a night's sleep before battle. At 6:00 pm on the 27th, the Patricia's began a move forward under cover of darkness and by early the morning were at their assembly point behind the 4th Division. This attack was very different than the short bite and hold actions at Vimy and Passchendaele. Here the battalion was tasked to move forward almost three miles to seize the high ground at Tilloy. The RCR were tasked to secure the jumping off point on the Marcoing Line with the Patricia's and 49th Battalion passing through to continue the advance. The PPCLI successfully secured the line of the light railway by early afternoon but the Commanding Officer, Lt Col Charlie Stewart had been killed by shell fire early in the attack. He was the last of the Original officers who had been with the battalion at the start of the Hundred Days. Captain James Edgar, a former fireman who had joined the regiment as a private and been commissioned from the ranks assumed command and prepared to continue the attack to the line of the Douai Road. Here, unexpectedly the Patricia's ran into some old, but still very much intact barbed wire that had been hidden by undergrowth. The battalion suffered badly in the attempt and the attack was thrown back by effective machine gun fire, shelling and gas. At this point only about 300 men remained in the rifle companies. With the 42nd and 49th Battalions taking up the attack, the Patricia's regrouped behind the line of a light railway. On the afternoon of the 30th, Capt George Little, who had joined with the 5th University Company, came forward from Brigade headquarters with fresh orders and assumed command of the battalion. The Paticia's were now tasked to sieze the village of Tilloy while the RCR attacked on their left to capture Tilloy Hill. Although the initial effort by the Patricia's to capture the village was successful, the RCR were unable to gain control of the high ground to the north. As a result, the battalion came under heavy and effective machine gun fire from numerous posts on Tilloy Hill. By 9:40 that evening Capt Edgar reported:
the remnants of the Battalion might be considered as a company, and holding a line of outposts through the village of Tilloy."[i]
On the morning of October 1st, the Patricia's were finally relieved as the 9th Brigade continued the attack. In total, the Regiment lost eight officers and 38 men during the battle out of a total casualty list of some 359. Because of the more fluid nature of the battle and greater ease in getting the wounded evacuated for treatment, the ratio of dead to wounded was significantly smaller than at Passchendaele. Battle of Canal du Nord was the last major action of the war for the Patricia's. Major A.G. Pearson was promoted Acting Lieutenant Colonel and assumed command for the remainder of the advance to Mons. By chance, on November 11th, the Patricia's were positioned as one of the battalions that led the British Army back into Mons where the Old Contemptibles had first faced the German attack in 1914.

NBC has set a premiere date for the miniseries update of "Rosemary's Baby," marking a tight turnaround for the Ira Levin adaptation.
Production on "Rosemary's Baby" only began in January and only five months later, the four-hour telefilm will premiere on Sunday, May 11 and Thursday, May 15 airing from 9-11 p.m. on both nights. [As Friend of HitFix Joe Adalian noted on Twitter, the Sunday premiere is, of course, Mother's Day.]
Scott Abbott and James Wong wrote the script, which was directed by Oscar and Emmy nominee Agnieszka Holland.
The new take on the 1967 suspense novel transplants the action to Paris, where a young married couple (Zoe Saldana and Patrick J. Adams) move into an apartment with a haunted past. When Rosemary gets pregnant, she begins to distrust the intentions of both her seemingly kindly neighbors and her seemingly devoted husband.
In addition to Saldana and Adams, "Rosemary's Baby" stars Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet.
The May premiere date will make "Rosemary's Baby" eligible for Emmy consideration this year, should that happen to be relevant, but it also pits the project against a slew of variably high-profile finale dates in the May Sweeps period. The Sunday opening will be against the second hour of ABC's "Once Upon a Time" finale and the finale for "Revenge," while that Thursday night features finales for "Grey's Anatomy" and "Elementary" (as well as "Reign" and "Surviving Jack").

Have you ever heard of Bunny Island in Japan? It's literally an island overrun with bunnies. If you Google it (which I highly recommend), you'll find videos of seemingly endless bunny stampedes adorably flooding the roads. It's the best.
Working in the tech world post-Apple event is like going to Bunny Island. Apple announces new hardware and software, and the interweb comes alive with a barrage of speculation, strategy, commentary and analysis. Like a bunny stampede, it's welcome and exciting, but also a little terrifying.To help make sense of things, I sat down with Phunware UX/UI designer Ivy Knight. Read on for her thoughts on what made Apple's fall event noteworthy from a design perspective.
1. Multitasking and Productivity on the iPad Pro
Although Apple announced iPad multitasking at WWDC back in June, it wasn't until last week's event that we got to see the true power of multitasking in action—oddly enough, with help from Microsoft Office.
On iPad Pro's huge screen, multitasking takes on a new level of capability. Designed with responsiveness and multitasking in mind, app layouts will now adapt and snap to keypoints gracefully, allowing users to, say, take notes in apps like Word or Evernote while interacting with another app simultaneously. Or send email while watching a video. Or (sorry, boss) mess around on Facebook while working. In short, use an iPad Pro like a laptop.
2. Will iPad Pro Replace MacBook Air?
Speaking of using the iPad Pro like a laptop, what is going on here? With hardware and software updates in both product lines, the distinction between MacBook Air and iPad Pro is increasingly blurry. People have been speculating that tablets will replace laptops for some time now, and many argue that Apple is #tardyfortheparty and playing catch-up to Microsoft Surface. With the iPad Pro, Apple has certainly arrived to the tablet party, but it won't replace laptop or desktop computers for designers like Ivy anytime soon. It's powerful enough to capture some more casual or idea-generation design needs, but it will remain a novelty for now.
3. Extreme Makeover: Apple TV Edition
Apple also announced at its fall event that Apple TV had received a major overhaul. With a new OS, UI and hardware, the new version is almost nothing like previous incarnations. The new Apple TV UI keeps some of its old templates, but is refreshed to reflect newer iOS iterations. It's simple with dynamic details such as parallax app icons.
Existing Apple TV apps will still work on the new Apple TV, but the big news is that the tvOS SDK is now open to developers. And while Apple TV is opening the door to developers, it's notably closing the door to the web, meaning that Apple TV apps will not be able to pull in web content through webviews. That move will create some extra work for developers, but the result will be better overall. This quote from High Caffeine Content CEO Steven Troughton-Smith (via Wired) sums it up:
"Website content…would allow developers to take the least-common-denominator approach to bring existing, awful, Web-based 'smart TV' apps or sites to tvOS…They could just reuse anything they've built already, instead of putting care and attention into creating something appropriate for the platform."
Thank goodness that's not going to be a possibility. tvOS is merely one of myriad examples that native development—development for specific platforms and hardware—is critical for the best user experience and adoption.
4. San Francisco: Put Your Best Font Forward
Can we all take a moment to celebrate typography? Apple sacrificed style over usability when selecting Helvetica Neue for OS X, departing from the high digital legibility of Lucida Grande. But now, to the delight of designers (and users) everywhere, Apple has corrected this error by creating San Francisco, a font that works on-screen and across a multitude of devices. Initially released on the Apple Watch, San Francisco is now being integrated in with iOS and OS X. It's reminiscent of Google's Roboto font family, high praise considering Roboto has already proven to be a phenomenal typeface on any screen.
5. Use the Force…Touch
Finally, the iPhone product line is getting a new gesture that mimics an existing Apple Watch interaction: Force Touch. The gesture allows context menus (menus containing related actions for the current view) to be presented to users when they press down with pressure. From a UX perspective, this gesture is best reserved for context menus to allow users to build expectations for how Force Touch will work. There have been some comparisons to the long press, but Force Touch is a quicker gesture (and an Apple-only gesture). According to early reports, using Force Touch is a seamless, natural experience.
So there you have it—a preliminary response to the Apple announcement deluge. Thanks, Ivy, for helping me fend off the bunny onslaught.
What do YOU think are the design implications of Apple's fall event? Comment below and let us know.
Ivy "Jedi" Knight is a UX/UI designer at Phunware, and she's pretty awesome. Skilled in design and web development, lover of Belgian beers, and total fan of geek culture, she is at home in any aspect of the software industry.

Poor Boyz Productions and Xero Entertainment present...
TRAP featuring Kid Kamillion
Jesse Slayter, Ritual [DXXXY + MODVS], Mike Swift
Republic NOLA
828 S. Peters Street
New Orleans, LA, 70130
This event is 18 and over
Kid Kamillion
Hailing from the dirty south mecca of New Orleans, Bryan Normand, known by his 808 bass-slanging alter-ego Kid Kamillion, began his career in high school as he put down his skateboard and turned to spinning records. By college he was curating an underground music movement throughout the south and began taking over the New Orleans nightlife scene. Kid Kamillion took his knowledge of true southern hip-hop, and over 10 years of "rave culture" tweaked with his personal innovation and creativity, and pioneered a sound that quickly gained the attention and recognition of dance music ambassador A-Trak for the Kid Kamillion edit of "Heads Will Roll". Kid Kamillion rapidly built a stout reputation amongst heavy hitters throughout the producer, DJ, and festival scenes. The year 2013 was beyond ground breaking for Kid Kamillion as it kicked off with him playing the Jay-Z Super Bowl party. Shortly thereafter he was playing shows all over the country, and even ventured out to playing shows in Europe. As a producer, Kid Kamillion has numerous collaborations with global hit maker Diplo and Berlin based techno giant Boys Noize, in addition to producing tracks for club legends Spank Rock and Kid Sister. Currently, Kid Kamillion spends most of his time jetting between Miami and Los Angeles and also in Houston producing with long-time friend and fellow New Orleans native Mannie Fresh. With his art & music rapidly spreading onto blogs and main-stages worldwide it will be hard to escape the name Kid Kamillion in 2014.
