He had started playing forte-piano when he was seven-spot and at nine, he studied with Oscar Peterson's sister Daisy; the Peterson influence is still matt-up in his style. Jones played with show bands and worked with start isaac Bashevis Singer Ken Hamilton (1963-1980), much of the clock time in Puerto Rico. It was not until he returned to Montreal in 1980 that he committed himself to playacting jazz full-time. Since the mid-'80s, Oliver Jones has recorded extensively for Justin Time and established himself as a major modern mainstream participant with impressive technique and a hard-swinging style. |

First Reported Video Of Cell's Recognition Of Danger Through Its Protein Response
�Cells are expected to respond defensively when an antigen lands on a cell membrane and prepares to cause mischief.
But to activate a response, a cell must become aware of the presence of the intruder on its membrane, just as a human first must turn aware of a mosquito on a forearm in order to slap it.
In joint experimental work, physicists at Sandia National Laboratories and biologists at the University of New Mexico's Cancer Research and Treatment Center sustain combined unusual techniques to make real time movies that show precisely how a 50-nanometer-thick tissue layer notifies the cell it encloses that a hostile alien presence an antigen has made a landing.
And also wherefore notification may not assume place.
"We were able to characterize the motion of the receptor proteins in the tissue layer in real time as they respond to the antigen," says lead Sandia researcher Alan Burns. "Perhaps more importantly, we knowing the cell membrane is really complicated and highly structured, rather than liquid and unstructured, as is the dominant notion."
The membrane structures, which resemble holding corrals, says Burns, do move around in the membrane. But they restrict the motion of proteins. The response of the cell requires that the antigen receptor proteins bunch with other proteins to commence the cellular signaling network.
"The proteins are care Paul Revere giving a warning," says Burns. "When proteins bind antigens, they begin to cluster. This causes early proteins to thrash around. That sends a message from the membrane to the cell nucleus that something's wrong.
"But if at that place are places on the membrane that are walled off and an antigen lands there, the cell may not be notified there's a problem. No protein, no warning."
UNM researchers already knew that incoming antigens were detected by proteins present in the lipid ground substance of the cell membrane. But how exactly to determine the process?
Burns, on the job with his former Sandia postdoctoral educatee Keith Lidke (now a UNM prof), modified a special microscope called a total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscope, whose laser-light output is completely contained within the microscope coverslip. This resembles the way optical fibers transport lightheaded, except that the TIRF does non ever release any light-headed. But though the light is contained, making its use seem at low an exercise in futility because it penetrates nothing external, it generates a tiny electrical exploratory field that extends about one C nm into the cell, which lies supported by the coverslip.
"When a cellular telephone settles on a musical composition of bare thin glass," says Burns, "the membrane of the cell by definition is snuggled up against the glass and available to the radiation field."
Enter the UNM biology team. Led by prof Diane Lidke, the team was able to attach quantum dots of 8 nm and 11 nm respectively to two different types of antigen receptor proteins in the membrane.
Quantum dots emit light when stimulated by an electrical field. The color fluoresced is determined by the size of the back breaker. So one protein, when stimulated by the laser's electrical field, emitted orange River light. The other emitted red. That way researchers could keep track of the motion of single, individual proteins and find out how they interacted; what is more, it allowed them to observe barriers to the motion.
Sensitive CCD cameras picked up and videotaped the motion of the lit-up proteins as they reacted to the introduction of antigens to the membrane.
"It was like using cameras to follow individual bank robbers impress around as a armed robbery progressed," says Burns.
The act upon is of interest to Sandia, a national defense lab interested in determinant the human response to bioinfectious diseases, and to UNM's bioscience program.
Other authors on the paper were graduate educatee Nicholas Andrews and pathology professors Bridget Wilson and Janet Oliver, all with UNM's Cancer Research and Treatment Center.
The Sandia sour was funded by its Laboratory Directed Research and Development function. The National Institutes of Health funded the UNM portion.
The solve was published online the week of July 20 in the journal Nature Cell Biology.

The Latin adolescent pop up group Timbiriche was formed in 1981 by producers for the Mexican network Televisa; the original members -- Diego Schoening, Sasha Diez Barroso, Benny Ibarra, Mariana Garza, Alix Bauer and Paulina Rubio -- were all under the age of 11 at the time of their formation, with all agreeing to join the group under the provision that they stay on to receive safe grades at school. Under the supervision of creative director Luis de Llano Macedo and musical theater director Memo Mendez Guiu, Timbiriche soon debuted with a self-titled LP, cathartic over a twelve more than albums in the age to follow; as members aged they left the group, with subsequent additions including Erik Rubin, Lorena Shelley, Eduardo Capetillo, Patricia Tanus, Daniel Gaytan, Alexandra Lozano, Thalia Sodi and Edith Marquez.

Irish punk-pop triad Ash first base formed in 1989 when childhood match Tim Wheeler and Mark Hamilton got guitars for Christmas and established the metallic element work Vietnam. Nothing more than something for kicks, Vietnam switched to Ash in 1992 as Wheeler (guitar/vocals), Hamilton (bass), and Rick "Rock" McMurray (drums) aimed to be something more serious. They shared a love for the bare-assed British punk rock of the Buzzcocks and crafted their melodious talents to take the Brit-pop scenery by storm at the begin of the decennium. NME was lightheaded over these "adolescent punkers from Belfast," and by 1994 Ash had signed to Infectious Records to outlet the Trailer EP subsequently that fall.
Their glossy youth was undoubtedly tempting, yet their Irish roots exuded a scrap of an American flair similar to the likes of Pavement and the Lemonheads. They weren't even out of senior high schooling ahead deuce-ace singles pip the Top Five in the U.K. indie charts. A class by and by marked Ash's full-length debut with 1977 and a deal with Reprise Records in the U.S. Named in purity of the twelvemonth Star Wars was released, 1977 displayed Wheeler and Hamilton's full-fledged love for all things extraterrestrial being and scientific discipline fiction-related. Sharp guitar meat hooks and demand production work by Owen Morris (Haven, New Order, Paul Weller) gained the bandmembers the fame they'd been wishing for since childhood. They were headlining major festivals -- T in the Park, Glastonbury, Roskilde, and Reading -- and playing unnumerable club dates across the ball. In fall 1997, female guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was added to the all-male lineup, a definite change for the band's sound and image and a stride that lED Ash's winnow infrastructure to elaborate into more than of what the circle had been looking at for since the beginning.
With a new bandmate and the end of their adolescent age, Ash welcomed anything that came their way. The late '90s marked a festering for Ash as a unit as well as individually. Their good featured heavier guitars while Wheeler's lyric capacity experienced a much grittier switch. Their sophomore try, Nuclear Sounds (1998), had Garbage's Butch Vig (Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana) at the mix board, and it wasn't necessarily their finest moment. NME off on the band, criticizing Ash's new sound as "terrific, ghoulrawk thrashnik deathcore noiseterrior sultans of infernal rhyme" in August 1998. Harsh actor's line and reviews didn't distract Ash, however. Free All Angels followed in April 2001, although it didn't even regard a U.S. handout until the following summer. Nuclear meltdown, the band's first stateside release for Record Collection, arrived in spring 2005. A year later, and after nine-spot age with Ash, Charlotte Hatherley proclaimed her release from the band. In 2007 the radical released Twilight of the Innocents, the record album they claimed would be their final. Interestingly, however, they also assured their fans that they were not breakage up; rather, they would simply press release singles in reaction to consumer trends.
