He taught voice (bass) at Rutgers. I had the chance to see him live in
Oedipus Rex this past year - he was amazing!!

So that is why my mail took so long to send. Hi y'all.
Cancer is also a cure for death - cancer cells have discovered how to be
immortal.

Within reason. They're still subject - even moreso than regular cells
- to radiation.

....Actually, this isn't much of a mystery, or a net problem. It's far
simpler.

Cells are subject to radiation while they are dividing. All cells are
sensitive, it is just that cancer cells divide more often. Because of this
they also mutate more often and that is why you get recurrence of cancer, when
one cell survives the radiation. What distinguishes cancer cells is that they
have learned how not to shorten the telomere, a short section of
non-functional DNA at the end of a chromosome that gets shorter with each cell
division until there is none left and then the functional bits start to get
lost. This is the body's way of trying to keep cells from dividing out of
control, but a few cells produce an enzyme that keeps the DNA the same length
and become cancerous.

Cancer cells have not discovered immortality; their malfunctioning
guarantees their own death when the parent organism dies. Even
single-cell organisms die in countless numbers, despite every living
example being descended from a long line of organisms which divided
without dying. The apparent difference from multi-cellular organisms
is just a feature of the method of reproduction.

I thought Dr. Brooks was on leave from Iowa State when he was doing "Spenser
for Hire". (The Iowa school in Ames, anyway.)

I remember once reading Rutgers. Time to Google. Ok - MFA from Rutgers where
he was an associate professor of theater arts. First African American to earn
an MFA in acting and directing from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at
Rutgers.

Cancer cells can be cultured in a Petri dish indefinitely wherease normal
cells reach the end of their lifespan.
My neighbor William found his marble (by accident while giving me a botanical
tour of the yard).

We just discovered, in Jim's room, several hundred used computer disks (720
and 1.44) which we can reuse. He is no longer saving games, and does not
need 30 boot disks or ten copies of Kermit or any copies of PCPlus. So we
will be making the big switch over from 360 to 702/1.44 disk and anyone who
wants the 5 1/4" disks let us know ASAP (free, with cases). We also have the
floppy drives for them.

Sindi, I'll take a couple boxes of 5-1/4" disks (preferrably unmarked) and
some floppy drives.
Fashion hint: You can cut off one edge of the 5-1/4" disk, remove the media,
and store a CD in the resulting sleeve. Retro-80's!

Yeah, but what do you then do with your liner notes? And how do you
identify the disks from the edge view without pawing through them?

Most of our 5 1/4" floppy disks are used - is that okay?
We have a couple of spare 1.2M floppy drives which I think can read 360 floppy
disks but maybe not write to them. We did not keep 1.2M floppy disks, only
360. Orinoco and oval how many disks do you want? No need to send envelopes
as we have plenty already. Let me weigh them before you send postage. I
advise unconditional format before use of the used disks. Scott how many
drives do you want and is 1.2M okay or do you want 360? I think we threw out
all the 720M 3.5" drives a while back. What are people planning to use these
for?
