Episode Spotlight: Requiem for a Lightweight
"Requiem for a Lightweight" (#3, 1×03)
Originally Broadcast: Sunday, October 1st, 1972
Written by Robert Klane
Directed by Hy Averback
Capsule Summary: In order to keep Major Houlihan from transferring a pretty nurse, Trapper agrees to enter a boxing competition with Hawkeye as his trainer.
This episode marked the first broadcast appearance of William Christopher as Father Mulcahy, replacing George Morgan who played the character in the pilot episode. But because this was the eighth episode produced despite being the third aired, it was not Christopher's first work as Mulcahy. He actually appeared in the second episode produced ("Henry, Please Come Home," aired ninth) as well as the sixth episode produced ("I Hate a Mystery," aired tenth).
Also appearing for the first time in this episode is Marcia Strassman as the lovely Nurse Margie Cutler. She would make a total of six guest appearances during Season One. I'm a big fan of Strassman, who after her recurring role on M*A*S*H ended went on to co-star on ABC's Welcome Back, Kotter from 1975 to 1979. Finally, Sorrell Booke made the first of two appearances as General Barker (the second being "Chief Surgeon Who?" which was produced before this episode but aired after it). He, too, went on to greater fame years later playing Boss Hogg on The Dukes of Hazzard from 1979 to 1985.
The plot of the episode is a little thin. Why would Margaret transfer Margie, a perfectly competent nurse, just because Hawkeye and Trapper were falling all over themselves trying to compete for her affection? If she transferred every nurse the two lusted after, she'd have a pretty small staff. And if Colonel Blake couldn't do anything about Margie because Margaret was in charge of the nurses, what exactly did he do after the boxing match to get her back to the 4077th?
Still, there's so much to love about this episode that the logic behind the story is easy enough to ignore. I'm not sure where to start. How about Margie's introduction? She rushes out of the shower in a towel, knocking Radar over in the process, and runs into Hawkeye and Trapper who are immediately smitten. She then somewhat unbelievably loses the towel and runs off naked, prompting Hawkeye and Trapper to salute in appreciation. It's quite the debut.
Also: Trapper and Hawkeye racing to Margie's tent (yet another example of an unexplained single occupancy tent), destroying Frank's new garden in the process; Ugly John passing out after explaining the old ether-on-the-boxing-glove trick; Trapper explaining he's a doctor to Sgt. Flacker; and Margaret screaming after Flacker falls on her and Frank.
Speaking of Frank and Margaret, their little scheme to switch the ether with distilled water and ruin Hawkeye's plan would have backfired pretty badly had Trapper been seriously hurt. I doubt they wanted that but I also doubt either of them thought things through before acting.
Kid Doctor wins in the end
There's some over-the-top laughter in this episode. First when Trapper is leaving Colonel Blake's office after learning about the boxing competition and later in the Mess Tent when Blake reacts to Hawkeye's promise that Trapper will win the fight.
At the start of the episode, when the PA calls for all shifts to the operating room, it's obvious that all the background actors were waiting for their cue to start rushing across the compound. Those that burst out of the Mess Tent were no doubt waiting in front of the door rather than seated at tables eating. They run out too quickly, some with surgical gowns already half on.
If you look closely, you can see two nurses in bathrobes running across the compound before we see four nurses run out of the shower tent in bathrobes, followed by Margie in her towel. That's a lot of nurses waiting in line for the showers.
The first half of this episode, particularly any outdoor scenes, are lit very softly. There's almost a glow around the characters.

This is one of my favorite early episodes.
A couple of details I'd like to point out after watching this episode so many times, I don't think Margaret transfered Cutler so much because Hawkeye and Trapper were fawning over her, because she later tells them, "Major Houlihan says I'm a bit of a distraction," I think because Cutler was new and she seemed to humor Hawkeye and Trapper with their flirting that Margaret saw this as unprofessional and unmilitary behavior.
Also, notice for some reason, almost all of the outdoor scenes in this episode look really… foggy… I wonder if the camera lenses kept fogging up or prespiring during filming because maybe it was too hot/muggy? I've had that happen to me before when filming outdoors on a really muggy day and the camera lens kept fogging up.
It's also interesting to note that during the actual boxing match, note the African-America corpsman sitting next to the bell, he's seen as an extra in a few early episodes of M*A*S*H, but he was also an extra P.O.W. all six seasons of HOGAN'S HEROES (as was Roy Goldman). Speaking of which, compare this episode to HOGAN'S HEROES's "The Softer They Fall," in which Kinchloe is lassoed into a boxing match against camp guard Battling Bruno as a diversion for Hogan's latest scheme.
And yes, I'm back from the dead.

I also forgot to mention that this episode showcased some of Wayne Rogers's best acting on the show, particularly his facial expressions. I love how during the scene where Radar comes into the Swamp to tell them about Barker's fighter having been brought into camp to warm up, Radar remarks how mean he looks while making more of a silly face than a mean face… yet the look of absolute horror on Trapper's face is priceless (not to mention the way he says, "Hawkeye! This guy knocks out jeeps!") Also in the tag, when Cutler dabs Trapper's shiner with a compress, look at the look of absolute contentment on Trap's face when she does so.
Funnily enough, there's a radio station in my town that used to use sound bytes from various different shows and movies during station bumpers, one of which was the exchange from this episode:
MARGARET: Just a minute, isn't that Frank's bag?
TRAPPER: I thought you were Frank's bag!
Crabapple Cove says:
Agreed that this is a very good early episode of the series. I enjoy all the episodes that showcase Trapper ("Ceasefire" is another favorite of mine).

I forgot to mention that I have an idea for you RJ if you wanted a new posting idea for the site. What you could do is post a topic that is very controversial concerning MASH and encourage people to respond to it with their opinion of the topic. I think that would be a really good way to wake up the community and get some people active in the community. Obviously you should post rules and guidelines stating that their shouldn't be any cursing or swearing at each other and that each opinion should be supported with a fact or supporting evidence while a disagreement with someone should be carried out in a polite, respectable manor. But I think it would be very nice to see a debate on here with others. Sometimes it might even get heated, which is good for the brain but also shouldn't be taken out of hand. Please consider this RJ. 🙂
Larry P. says:
One of my favorite early episodes as well; I love everything about it. There's a lot of laughs throughout, though my favorites are Trapper's frantic "This guy knocks out jeeps!" as well as Frank's "THAT'S ETHER!" and Hawkeye's reaction. And I always crack up at Fr. Mulcahy's making the sign of the cross as he finishes counting down the knockout.
From start to finish, this is a great episode, IMO.
Great Season One episode. Trapper was the highlight of this episode and he didn't disappoint. His horrified expressions on seeing the burly Sgt. Bricker were hilarious. Also from an entirely superficial point of view, he looked mighty FOINE in those boxing shorts….ummmm!!!
Favorite bit of dialog:
Fr. Mulcahy: I trained a number of boys to box back home.
Hawkeye: Do you have any advice for Trapper??
Fr. Mulcahy (handing Hawkeye a Bible): Prayer. I don't think he's got one.
jgf says:
"…another example of an unexplained single occupancy tent"
I also wondered about this. Why one major had a private tent while another had to share a tent with two junior officers; or why three officers shared a tent when a corporal had a private tent …and another corporal had to make do with a cot in a corner of the duty hut.
But years ago my best friend, who was career military provided some explanation.
First, there are no hard and fast rules for housing, especially at front line units, beyond men and women cannot share tents. All else is at the discretion of the CO and tradition.
The CO always has a private tent, often adjacent to the duty hut and his office.
Any commissioned officer qualifies for a private tent on request. (MASH plays fast and loose with this because the Swamp is such an integral part of the story.)
Anyone may have a private tent if they can get one (wheel and deal with quartermasters …"beg, borrow, or steal").
A major difference here is that when they break camp, officers tents are automatically moved with everything else; all other private tents are the responsibility of their owners …so stay on good terms with all those lowly privates who do all the laboring work, or do it yourself). Another consideration is heat, multiple people in a tent not only provide heat from their bodies but there's a good chance someone will be in and out during the day and can check on the fire.
And while we never see this on the TV show, a MASH consisted of around 200 people of which about a third were privates who did all the labor, they were typically housed in large barracks style tents of ten to twenty men each.
traveler1978 says:
As you said, the CO always had their own tent, that would explain why Margaret had her own tent, she is technically the CO of the nursing staff. Likewise Fr. Mulchay would have his own tent for obvious reasons.
What doesn't make sense is why Klinger would rate a private tent, certainly he was a scrounger, but he was not in a capacity to do much scrounging in early episodes (Radar was company clerk and Zale was the supply Sgt. and Zale and Klinger were not exactly on the best of terms)

My favorite exchange:
Trapper:"Henry, you don't go along with us.we'll tell everyone that your brother is in jail!"
Blake:"My brother is a warden!"
Hawkeye:"We won't mention that part."
Lady, You ARE A Piece of Cornbread says:
Just noticed HotLips ordered Margie to her office, not to her tent. Wonder if she was originally to have a desk and office like we see her in the episode when she's Officer of the Day.

How a Birmingham real estate acquisitions firm is weathering COVID-19
Honey Creek Pointe is a 7,871 square-foot Walmart-anchored neighborhood retail center located in Terre Haute, Ind.
By William Thornton | wthornton@al.com
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to lay waste to sections of the world economy, but one Birmingham real estate acquisition and development firm is seeing opportunity.
Sanders Capital Partners today announced its acquisition of a $2.2 million neighborhood retail center in Terre Haute, Ind., which marks an expansion into the Indiana market.
Honey Creek Pointe is a 7,871-square-foot Walmart-anchored neighborhood retail center, with neighboring retailers including Aldi, Panera Bread and Walmart. It has four tenants: ATI Physical Therapy, Sport Clips, Royal Nails and Five Guys.
Jackson Stewart, executive vice president and general counsel for Sanders Capital Partners said even in a pandemic, "there is no substitute for high-traffic locations with the right mix of durable tenants, like we see here."
"It is no secret that the landscape for retail assets during a pandemic has a unique set of challenges. Regardless, we are continuing to identify quality opportunities, like Honey Creek," Stewart said.
Sanders Capital Partners has been developing and acquiring retail centers, office buildings, strategic land and light industrial properties primarily throughout the Southeast and Midwest over the past five years. Last year, it acquired shopping centers in Fort Payne and Cedartown, Ga., as well as a Louisville retail center.
"We have a front row view of retail in the Amazon/COVID-19 economy through our Southeast and Midwest portfolios and we are seeing the inherent resilience of certain asset types and tenant mixes," Stewart said. "We are keen to see even more exposure to such assets with our future acquisitions, especially in Indiana."

It was vastly pre-internet.

Neil Gaiman played Infocom games, Terry Pratchett played Infocom games, Felicia Day played Infocom games, and they were all frustrated, and they all spent months trying to get the frickin' Babel Fish in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And now it's virtually impossible to write a game that successfully provides challenge and frustration, and that's a shame.

The newly created cardinal in Québec, Gérald Cyprien Lacroix, spoke with The Saint Anselm Crier to discuss his accomplishments and his view of the future of the Roman Catholic Church.
Born in Canada, Cardinal Lacroix emigrated with his family to the U.S. at age 8. He said he considers Manchester to be one of his many homes. For Cardinal Lacroix, the place he calls home changes frequently as his roles in the Church have required him to move often. He has lived in Colombia in South America, where he served as a missionary for nine years, and in Rome for several years as superior of his religious community.
"Where I hang my hat, I'm home," said Cardinal Lacroix.
Several weekends ago, from March 21 to 23, Cardinal Lacroix returned to Manchester and celebrated Mass at his home parish of nine years, Saint Anthony of Padua. The crowded church was filled with the familiar faces of family, friends, and former classmates.
"These people helped me become who I am," explained Cardinal Lacroix.
Cardinal Lacroix described his parish community as "a loving family" that gathers every Sunday. Even though there were over 900 people present at the Mass, Cardinal Lacroix said he knew the majority of them on an individual basis.
It is the familial quality of church gatherings that provides Cardinal Lacroix with hope for the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Lacroix believes that Catholics around the world need to renew their personal relationship with Jesus Christ in their lives. Through his roles as auxiliary bishop, archbishop, and now cardinal, this is precisely what Cardinal Lacroix has been aiming to accomplish.
Cardinal Lacroix emphasized that his new position draws him even closer to Jesus Christ, as the red in his robes symbolizes the blood that Jesus shed for the salvation of humanity.
In this post, Cardinal Lacroix will be available to serve the Holy Father, Pope Francis, whom he respects greatly. Of all of Pope Francis' qualities, Cardinal Lacroix admires most the simple life he leads.
Cardinal Lacroix pointed to Pope Francis' confession in public a couple of weeks ago. This is unprecedented in the Church, and Cardinal Lacroix is most impressed by it.
Reflecting on his accomplishments in the Church, Cardinal Lacroix attributed a large portion of his success to his parents.
Cardinal Lacroix explained how his parents, Brigitte and Raymond Lacroix, dedicated their lives to their children and the needs of their family. Beginning early on, they taught him and his siblings the importance of family, both immediate and extended, and their presence in every stage of life.
According to Cardinal Lacroix, his esteem for his parents and the life lessons he has learned from them very much resemble the sentiments expressed by Cardinal Roncali, who later became Pope John XXIII, in a letter he wrote to his parents.
Recently, there has been speculation that a North American might be elected to the papacy and that Cardinal Lacroix could be the one.
"We don't need to speculate because we have a pope – it would be disrespectful. Let's work with Pope Francis," responded Cardinal Lacroix.


Galveston is a unique and historical port in the Gulf of Mexico that offers both Eastern and Western Caribbean cruise itineraries. It currently hosts Carnival Breeze, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Valor, and Liberty of the Seas, and Vision of the Seas is set the join the party in November. Disney Wonder also sails from Galveston during the winter months.
1. Fly in the day before.
It's a common complaint that Galveston is so far from both Houston airports: 46 miles from William P. Hobby Airport and 72 miles from George Bush Intercontinental Airport. That's why if you have to fly in for your cruise you'll want to do so the day before. If your flight is delayed and you're still an hour and a half drive away from the pier upon arrival, you could miss your cruise completely.
2. Look for deals on your stay.
Galveston Island hotels are stunning, but they are wildly expensive for a cruiser who just needs a roof over their head for one night until they're off to bluer waters. I suggest looking instead at nearby Texas City, where hotels are cheaper and you're only across the bridge from the pier. If you're sailing in a group, it may also be financially advantageous to look into sites like AirBnB or HomeAway to rent an island home or condo for the night.
3. Plan ahead for traffic delays.
If you know the Houston area at all, it seems as if I-45 has been under construction since before I was born. This is the interstate that runs north-south through Houston and ends when it crosses over the bridge to Galveston Island, so almost everyone sailing out of Galveston uses it to get to the cruise terminal. Because of its never-ending construction, it often has traffic that causes hefty delays. Plan ahead for this when heading to the pier.
If you're driving in for your cruise, reserve your parking beforehand. Luckily, parking in Galveston is cheap compared to other cruise ports. Rates for pre-paid reservations at the Port of Galveston are $40 for a 4-day cruise, $45 for a 5-day, $55 for a 6-day, and $65 for a 7-day, with even better rates available from nearby third-party parking lot operators who will shuttle you to the pier for free.
5. Select the earliest check-in time.
If you're cruising on Carnival out of Galveston, you'll want to select the earliest time slot available to check-in at the port. The lines for security back up quickly, and it can take over an hour just to get through. Once you've passed security, you'll then wait in another line to check in and receive your Sign & Sail card. That's why the earlier you check-in, the more crowds you'll beat.
6. Do self-assist at debarkation.
Unfortunately, Galveston has a reputation for painfully long debarkation times thanks to a slow customs process. If you can, choose the self-assist option and get off the ship as soon as possible on debarkation day. The earlier you beat the crowds (and therefore the lines), the quicker you can get home.
To make Galveston's chaotic debarkation even worse, the non-passport line can take twice as long. If you're cruising out of Galveston and don't have a passport, this may be the perfect time to get one – unless of course you don't mind standing in line for possibly 2+ hours at the end of your cruise.
8. You'll pay tax on alcohol & cigarettes.
After you've schlepped through a tedious debarkation, if you bought any alcohol or cigarette duty-free, whether on the ship or in a port, you'll be shuffled directly into yet another line: the one to pay your tax. According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, you must pay tax on all alcohol and cigarettes being imported through Texas as well as a $3 administrative fee.
Because of wet weather occurring during the cooler months, some of the winter cruises can be plagued by fog in Galveston that can cause delays in the ships arriving and departing from the port. Unfortunately, the weather can't be helped, and the ships can't compromise safety just to stay on schedule. Make sure you purchase trip insurance in case the fog affects your cruise.
10. Spend time on the island.
If all you do is drive into the cruise port and leave, you'll go home with a bad image of Galveston. The north side of the island, where the cruise terminal is located, is situated among the industrial side of town, next to other barges, oil tankers, concrete and gravel distribution centers, an old railroad… you get the idea. But this is not representative of Galveston.
Just a few blocks from the pier is the island's Historic Strand District shopping, and if you venture to the south side you'll find Seawall Boulevard, which follows a long stretch of top-notch seafood restaurants and beachfront hotels.
You'd also run into the Pleasure Pier, an amusement park built out onto a pier that stretches into the Gulf, as well as Murdoch's, an island-favorite souvenir shop also built over the water that serves frozen cocktails and beer. Depending on how much time you have, you might also visit Moody Gardens – built in three pyramids, each with their own separate attractions – as well as Schlitterbaun Water Park.
Do you have any tips for sailing out of Galveston?

August 11, 2010 News + Opinion » Fair Game
Paying for Innocence
By Shay Totten
Fair Game is Seven Days' weekly political column.
Last week Superior Court Judge Geoffrey Crawford delivered a blow to storyteller Malcolm "Mac" Parker, ordering him to stand trial on a series of charges stemming from a decade-long, $13 million film fundraising effort.
The trial will take place in early November in Superior Court in Montpelier.
State regulators are investigating Parker for allegedly failing to register as "securities" the investments that nearly 800 people made in his film, Birth of Innocence. He also faces charges of failing to register as an agent to sell securities and provide investment advice, as well as charges of securities fraud.
Over the past 10 years, Parker has raised at least $12.8 million, more than $3.6 million of which was paid to Dr. James Louis Soteriou, a "silent partner" who disappeared earlier this year. Another $1.2 million was spent on the film, according to court records.
Those were the numbers as of mid-February 2007. Court records show additional significant deposits were made between then and late 2009. But when the state froze Parker's assets in late 2009, he had only $10,000 in the bank.
A complete accounting of Parker's fundraising efforts, and expenses, was due in March, but never materialized. Judge Crawford reiterated he wants all that info by September 3.
Now, in a new plot twist, about 30 investors representing roughly $3 million of the missing money want the court to ensure the film is completed as it was originally described to them. According to emails obtained by "Fair Game," Parker wants to tweak it to include the drama of the state investigation. The film itself is largely a new-age exploration of self and spirit.
Crawford agreed to take up the group's "petition," which states that investors are "currently experiencing dire shortages of funds to live on, and many also risk losing what amounts to their entire life's savings, saved college funds and their credit because of his mishandling of funds." A hearing is scheduled for Friday morning in Washington Superior Court.
One of the aggrieved investors is Robert Melik Finkle, who gave Parker nearly $525,000. He first invested $100,000 in 2002 when Parker told him he only needed $400,000 to make the film. Over time, Finkle invested more — everything above and beyond his basic living expenses.
"I'm not bragging," said Finkle, 74. "I'm admitting that I was fooled into believing him, and I'm very angry. That was my life's savings, and for me the future looks very bleak."
Parker stopped making regular interest payments to Finkle in early 2009, doling out only what the man said he needed to survive. Finkle estimates that, with interest, Parker owes him roughly $630,000.
Investors who remain supportive of Parker believe Finkle and like-minded investors are only creating more problems.
"The result, far from a expeditious conclusion, will be literally years of litigation ensnaring all interested parties in a morass of differing views, needs and expectations," investor and Parker confidant Christopher Parker told "Fair Game" in an email.
Meanwhile, Sharon Gutwin, who loaned Parker $100,000, is trying to act as an intermediary between the two investor camps in hopes of holding the group together.
Everyone still believes in the movie, she claimed, which is remarkable given all that's transpired.
"A lot of people do believe in the goodness of the movie, and that's a good Vermont story. This is not New York City and Bernie Madoff," said Gutwin. "This is about Mac Parker and a bunch of people who like him. It's hard to believe they would give that much money to a person just because he's asking for it."
Hard to believe, indeed.
Billy's Bailout
Republican Len Britton has been a big hit on the Internet with his satirical ad "Better Get a Paper Route, Billy" poking fun at a serious issue — the growing federal deficit.
Britton lays blame at the feet of Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and his ilk for out-of-control spending that, he says, is mortgaging the future of our kids. Britton hopes to unseat Leahy in the November election.
Now Britton's back with a new, equally clever sequel that features two kids and a G-Man in a sinking raft. Another G-Man is adding water to the boat with buckets labeled "stimulus" and "pork spending."
"Hey, mister, you're going to sink this boat," exclaims "Billy."
"Better bail faster, Billy," the G-man recommends with a chuckle.
The ad is a big hit on conservative websites Redstate.com and National Review Online. So far, it's been viewed 25,000 times. The original "Billy" ad, 38,000 times.
Meanwhile, the left-leaning Wonkette website lampooned the ad, questioning why a Senate candidate would promote drowning kids to score political points. Some people are so touchy.
Britton, a former Hollywood screenwriter, is penning the ads himself but can't seem to turn his online fame into fortune. This July 15 campaign-finance report showed little improvement in fundraising since April 30. He's raised roughly $92,000, spent $87,000 and has about $4600 in the bank. At least it adds up. But the campaign reports $64,000 in unpaid debts, down from a reported $73,000 in unpaid debts on April 30.
Will Vermont's GOP bail out Britton?
Taking to TV
Since Democrat Peter Shumlin started airing television ads a month ago, two more Democratic gubernatorial candidates are following his media lead.
To date, Shumlin has spent $160,000 on TV ads touting his courage and his plan to provide universal health care, universal broadband, universal pre-K and investment in renewable energy.
Last week, Secretary of State Deb Markowitz launched her ad, spelling out some key items embedded in her "JumpStart Vermont" jobs plan. It also highlights her executive leadership and problem-solving skills.
This week Google exec and former state Senator Matt Dunne followed suit with a TV ad that touts his biography and business skills. The ad is narrated by well-known Vermont Public Radio storyteller Willem Lange.
Some familiar faces appear in the ad, too: Sen. Patrick Leahy and former Pres. Bill Clinton. One problem: Dunne didn't ask Leahy's permission.
Holy faux endorsements, Batman!
"Senator Leahy would not have agreed to allow his image to be used because he is not endorsing in the primary," said Carolyn Dwyer, Leahy's campaign manager.
Dunne's campaign manager Kevin O'Holleran, said the campaign was not trying to play fast and loose with Leahy's image, but it has no plans to remove the pic, either.
"We used the best images we had of Matt that touch on the many aspects of his career," said O'Holleran. The pic in question was a speech to a hometown crowd that just happened to include Leahy.
Sen. Susan Bartlett has no plans to launch a TV ad, but will launch web ads "soon," says campaign manager John Bauer.
State Senator and former Lt. Governor Doug Racine launched an online ad that will hit TV airwaves Monday. The ad claims Racine will provide "honesty," not "empty promises" to voters. Racine's advisor, Joe Trippi, believes that's the winning pitch.
We'll know soon enough.
Belaboring the Point
Sen. Susan Bartlett isn't the only candidate under scrutiny of the Vermont Department of Labor for improperly classifying her campaign workers as consultants and not employees.
Rep. Steve Howard (D-Rutland), a candidate for lite gov, has also been snagged by DOL. As a result, he may have to pay back taxes as well as unemployment and worker's compensation insurance.
Most of the major unions have endorsed Howard.
Howard's primary challenger, Rep. Christopher Bray (D-New Haven), says he's been paying his campaign workers as employees since they were hired — even providing health care.
The only employee expense on Bray's July 15 campaign-finance report was for workers' compensation insurance. Bray said the other checks weren't cut until after the filing deadline because he pays taxes and insurance on a quarterly basis.
That means the figures should show up on next week's campaign-finance filing. We'll see.
Progressively Democratic
In last week's column about the eroding electoral power of Queen City Progressives, I neglected to mention that Democrat Peg Boyle Single is also a candidate in what is likely to be a spirited, four-way House race for two seats — one currently held by Progressive David Zuckerman, and the other by Democrat Kesha Ram.
Boyle Single is in a three-way primary with Ram and school board member Keith Pillsbury.
Two winners will face former Progressive Rep. Chris Pearson, who was defeated by Ram in 2008, and Progressive Diane Gottlieb.
With three solid candidates, the Democrats clearly see an opportunity to take out the last legislative Progressive. If the Democrats win both seats, it would be the first time Burlington Progressives didn't have a seat in the legislature since Terry Bouricius was elected in 1990.
Telecom Turmoil
After three years at the helm, general manager Chris Burns is leaving beleaguered Burlington Telecom to take a new job outside Vermont. His departure comes just weeks before his contract was to expire; he was not a city employee.
A week ago, the city council held a secret meeting to get an update on BT's finances from consultant Terry Dorman of Dorman & Fawcett in Quechee. City officials hope Fawcett can help BT renegotiate its lease terms with CitiCapital and put BT on sound financial footing.
In the GM's absence, Dorman & Fawcett will assume management of BT — not a good sign. Taking over day-to-day management is one of the most drastic steps a "turnaround" firm can take.
Also chipping in will be Gary Evans, CEO of Minnesota-based Hiawatha Broadband. Evans runs a fiber-to-the-home telecom and earlier this year started giving BT advice. Hmmm.

When Pat and Sopidta Murphy opened Chiang Mai Thai Kitchen in downtown Victor, Idaho, last June, they anticipated on question: why did Teton Valley, Idaho, need a third Thai restaurant?
According to the Murphys, most of the Thai food Americans are familiar with originates in central Thailand and the area around Bangkok. That food relies heavily on coconut milk, curries, and rice, using sauces and spices to get people to eat a lot of rice with small servings of vegetables and proteins. In the north, where Sopidta was raised, people have large gardens and raise farm animals. As a result, the food tends to be built around vegetables, herbs, and protein rather than rice.
The Murphys met during an orientation meeting at the Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole in 2011. Sopidta was in the U.S. on a J-1 Visa. She'd never heard of Wyoming and had never seen snow when she was offered the job, but she was looking for an adventure. On day one, she met Pat and, as he tells it, they haven't been apart since.
Pat was a chef working in Philadelphia before he came west to try his hand at the Four Seasons Resort. He and Sopidta, who married in 2013, worked at the resort for a year before heading north to Alaska to take jobs at a fly-in fishing lodge.
Getting Chiang Mai ready for business was a community effort. A friend painted a mural of bamboo on one wall, while another friend built a partition with recycled pallets. Pat's sister, Shannon Begley, even moved from Pennsylvania to help out.
The Murphys traveled to Thailand to buy decorations for the restaurant and so Sopidta could harvest chilies and lime leaves with her mother. She uses them to make the pastes and powders that go into the restaurant's food.
Opening Chiang Mai meant the Murphys never got their ski bum season, but they still get out to ski and enjoy the outdoors as often as they can. And their unassuming little restaurant on the north side of Victor is hopping with happy, well-fed customers.


The best way to preserve your vehicle's finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the vehicle clean by washing frequently. Wash the vehicle only with lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical cleaners. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish.
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys and other foreign matter may damage the finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces.
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your local dealer.
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure the body shop uses Genuine Factory Replacement Parts.
Vehicle maintenance is an important factor for proper vehicle operation. The vehicle's driver should ensure that fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, etc.) are checked frequently (i.e., each time you add fuel) in accordance with the instructions in the owner's manual.
Your vehicle requires an initial engine oil and filter change at the specific miles or months, whichever first occurs as recommended by your car manual. We suggest that you schedule an appointment for this service and any other necessary adjustments at your local dealer. .
The frequency of scheduled inspection and maintenance services as set forth below is minimal. However, it may be necessary that they be performed more frequently depending on road conditions, weather, atmospheric conditions, vehicle usage and individual driving habits.
Maintenance, repair or replacement of the emission control devices and systems of your car may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual, using any automotive part which its manufacturer has certified will not result in a failure of your car to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

When we communicate about TRU to our diverse audiences, it is important that we maintain quality and consistency in editorial style, for the effectiveness of our brand voice as well as for clarity and professionalism. Inconsistencies in spelling and other matters of style distract readers and undermine their confidence in the messages we wish to convey.
TRU Style is intended to provide guidance on the most common issues—from capitalization to punctuation—and some standards for university terminology and inclusive language.
TRU Style applies to all general, promotional, recruitment and marketing communications materials, official correspondence, and reports and submissions to university governing bodies. It is not intended to apply to teaching, scholarly or research texts, nor should it limit designed collateral outside of body copy.
And, because language evolves—so that starting a sentence with "And" is not the grammatical faux pas it used to be—the TRU Style Guide editors recommend David Marsh's highly entertaining guide to grammar and usage, For Who the Bell Tolls: One Man's Quest for Grammatical Perfection.
In conjunction with this guide, TRU uses the most recent edition of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary as its spelling authority. The editors of this guide refer to and predominantly follow the Canadian Press Stylebook: A Guide for Writers and Editors (CP), but on some questions of style that are a matter of preference, TRU Style may differ from CP. Citations follow the MLA Handbook.

What is MTHFR?
Patient Resource Center sales page
Could MTHFR be the Reason for your Pregnancy Complications?
While the list of disorders associated with MTHFR mutations can be a long and eye-opening one, those conditions involving pregnancy or the ability to fall pregnant can be the most heartbreaking and saddening to see.
Below I have broken down he latest research on the three most common pregnancy-related issues associated with MTHFR genes, and explain just how these important genetic mutations could be playing a role.
1. Recurrent Pregnancy Lost (RPL)
In the world of MTHFR and fertility, it unfortunately isn't uncommon to hear many stories of women dealing with recurrent miscarriages.
And while science is still working to unearth the key role MTHFR is playing in RPL, it does understand the role your MTHFR gene plays in ensuring your levels of homocysteine do not elevate too high.
Homocysteine is an amino acid (small protein) that in excessive amounts can cause blood clots.
And while the jury is still out, some scientists have put forward the hypothesis that these blood clots may form close to the placenta, causing a block in the flow of nutrients to the fetus in it's early stages of growth.
There are several key genetic mutations that have been associated with an increased risk of clot formation, with the MTHFR genes being some of them. And while studies tend to examine these genes in isolation, one study looked at the effect of these genes in unison and found the cumulative effects of multiple genetic mutations (such as Factor V Leiden and MTHFR) are indeed risk factors for RPL.
This study also found that women suffering from RPL were more likely to carry a homozygous mutation, that is, two copies of a genetic mutation as opposed to one copy, or no mutated copies.
The good news is more and more doctors, specialists and health practitioners are starting to test women who have either a family history of thrombophilia's or who are experiencing RPL for these clothing related genes. The normal recommendations within the medical field to support these genes is to prescribe folate, B Vitamins and anti-clotting medicines like heparin or baby aspirin.
2. Preeclampsia
Both variants of the MTHFR gene, A1298C and C677T, have been implicated in preeclampsia, with different studies yielding differing results.
Research has found mutations to the MTHFR A1298C gene to be significant risk factors for several vascular-related pregnancy complications. In this paper, researchers found significantly higher plasma homocysteine levels and increased risk of premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus, smaller fetuses, recurrent pregnancy loss, and preeclampsia among pregnant women with MTHFR A1298C mutations.
Another study found women with preeclampsia in their first pregnancy are also more likely to have MTHFR A1298C mutations, higher homocysteine levels, and babies with lower birth weights.
However, the MTHFR C677T variant has also been implicated in preeclampsia, with women suffering from preeclampsia more likely to be carrying a homozygous MTHFR C677T mutation (meaning two copies of the mutated gene). So while these studies have examined different MTHFR genes and aspects of pregnancy health, both C677T and A1298C variants have been shown to play roles in complications during pregnancy.
3. Fetal Developmental Disorders
The foundational reason MTHFR mutations require our acknowledgment and support, whether pregnant or not, is due to their vital role in creating active folate, which we need for cell division and healthy DNA production. Read more about that here.
Having healthy levels of DNA during pregnancy has clearly been linked with the prevention of developmental problems including neural tube defects such a spina bifida and anencephaly.
And while these links are common knowledge within the medical sector, research now also shows:
The presence of the maternal homozygous MTHFR C677T variant linked with the development of childhood asthma
An association between MTHFR and autism spectrum disorders
MTHFR C677T and A1298C linked with orofacial clefts in Iranian children, and congenital heart disease in Chinese populations
While science still needs to definitively show MTHFR as a true cause in many of these conditions, there can be no doubt MTHFR is highly suspect in RPL, preeclampsia, and other pregnancy complications.
With this in mind, the best advice I can give to women who are pregnant or preparing for pregnancy is to strongly consider screening yourself and your partner for the MTHFR gene and other clothing factors if appropriate.
And always remember, if you do have a variant genotype, know that there are a number of available treatments that are simple and easily accessible, assisting you to have a healthy pregnancy and a thriving baby.

Nanosphere Awarded U.S. Patent for Biobarcode™ Protein Detection Technology
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Nanosphere Awarded U.S. Patent for Biobarcode™ Protein Detection Technology"
Nanosphere, Inc. has announced the company's Biobarcode™ technology has been awarded patent number 6,974,669 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Biobarcode™ technology is designed to accomplish for protein detection what PCR has for nucleic acid detection and genomics.
Nanosphere claims that, Biobarcode™ enables the detection of proteins in specimens with sensitivity several orders of magnitude greater than is possible with current technologies including ELISA or mass spectrometry.
Ultra-sensitive protein detection technology will enable development of not only clinical uses for existing biomarkers but also the development of diagnostic tests for previously undetectable biomarkers apparent in many diseases.
This technology will enable earlier detection of cancers (ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, etc.) and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, etc.), as well as enable the identification of patients prone to cardiovascular death that are presently missed in diagnosis.
In addition, previously undetected and uncorrelated biomarkers may be developed for both drug development and diagnostic purposes.
"Our focus at Nanosphere is to continuously leverage the power of our nanotechnology platform to bring sophisticated diagnostic and discovery products to the health care and life sciences industries," said William Moffitt, president and CEO, Nanosphere, Inc.
"Today's patent on Biobarcode™ serves to further solidify this core tenant, and enables us to directly address the needs of today, and create the diagnostic and discovery tools of the future."
The biobarcode ™ technology was developed by researchers at Northwestern University, including Dr. Chad Mirkin, professor of chemistry and director of the school's Institute for Nanotechnology.
The company has licensed exclusive rights from Northwestern to existing inventions involving nanoparticle probes and certain other technology developments in the area of biodiagnostics.
The Biobarcode™ patent brings the number of U.S. patents Nanosphere holds to 43 and the company has one hundred applications pending.

Lawson Rollins – True North
Guitarist Lawson Rollins has already captivated audiences and critics alike with a multitude of albums. Infinita (2008), Espirito (2010), Elevation (2011), Full Circle (2013), Traveler (2015), Infinite Chills (The Remix Sessions) (2015), 3 Minutes to Midnight (2017), Airwaves: The Greatest Hits (2018), Dark Matter: Music For Film (2019) are to be mentioned.
Meanwhile he is ranked as one of the 50 Transcendent Acoustic Guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine. His newest album True North is scheduled for release January 17, 2020 on Infinita Records. Lawson performs on the new album acoustic, electric and nylon string guitars, drum programming, keyboards. He is joined by Dave Bryant (drums, percussion), Mads Tolling (violin, viola), Dan Feiszli (acoustic and electric bass) and Stephen Duros (electric guitar on With The Wind, addition keyboards). Lawson Rollins has composed all songs.
True North shows the right direction in which Lawson Rollins travels. Lawson intelligently combines different finger style techniques and guitars to an impulsive guitar playing. With The Wind combines Spanish acoustic guitar school with strong rock elements to a tour de force.
Lawson Rollins
Lawson Rollins' recordings have always possessed a grand sense of travel, exoticism and adventure, narrated by the global guitarist's prodigious and alacritous classical finger-style play that Guitar Player magazine recently spotlighted by selecting Rollins as one of the "50 Transcendent Acoustic Guitarists" of all-time. After embarking upon a creative departure on a few recent projects, the chart-topping composer-producer-musician, best known for crafting lush amalgams of contemporary jazz, world music, Latin and New Age over the past twenty years, charts a more familiar course on his tenth solo album, "True North," dropping January 17, 2020 on Infinita Records. Yet there is a marked difference in his approach.
The prolific Rollins spent the last couple of years exploring vast horizons. Last year, he assembled "Airwaves: The Greatest Hits," which includes the Billboard top 10 hit "World of Wonder" featuring 3rd Force and earlier this year, he released the experimental "Dark Matter: Music for Film." Rollins also scored his first feature film, "Stay Out Stay Alive," a multiple award-winning movie opening November 26 for which he served as executive producer of the film festival favorite. These diverse projects broadened the scope of his artistic muse, now budding in entirely new and different dimensions. Culling elements from each one, Rollins picked up his trusty acoustic nylon string guitar and utilized a fresh approach to write and produce "True North," the first album that he produced entirely on his own. The wide array of projects also impacts the way he plays guitar, which exhibits a keener focus, discipline and restraint.
"The past couple of years have really expanded my musical horizons through my work on film music and also the single, 'And If You Will Come With Me' by Israeli superstar singer Idan Raichel. Those experiences forced me to hone down my quite often exuberant nylon string guitar style to suit the needs of the particular projects and also to delve more seriously into other instruments like the electric guitar, synthesizers and electronic percussion programming. With 'True North,' I was able to bring that new knowledge and perspective back home, in a sense, to the type of nylon string guitar-centered music that has been my true calling as an artist over the past 20 years," said the San Francisco-based Rollins who hails from Durham, North Carolina.

Dirk K – Selfie Nation
Dirk K, guitarist with German heritage, has a strong affinity for Latin jazz and smooth jazz. More than 16 solo albums, eight CDs with band projects and over 30 albums for other performers are a vivid testimony to his productivity. His newest project Selfie Nation (2019) is however a departure to new shores.
Dirk himself settles his new music on in the area of electronic dance music, jazz and world music and uses the adjective incongruous, ambient, peculiar. So let us prepare ourselves for the special. The length of the pieces, which are not at all adapted to the radio format, is already unusual. A rebellion?
Dirk K plays on the new album all instruments and is joined by David Inamine (bass) and Michael Joy (Wurlitzer, Rhodes and Mini Moog on Nothing Personal). Special guest is King Ibu on Selfie Nation (vocals and talking drum). Dirk has written Selfie Nation, all other songs are covers.

Iñaki Arakistain – Another Road
Iñaki Arakistain opens us to a musical concept unprecedented until now in Spain made by a saxophonist, in which groove music coexists, with influences from Brazilian music, Latin Funk, as well as recently merging Flamenco with those styles, thus enriching its new projects united by the common language of jazz.
He has released his 4th studio album Another Road, made up of excellent musicians from the national and international scene, full of good "Groove Latin" that mixes exotic sounds with roots as deep as Flamenco, Brazilian music, Afro-Cuban folklore and music. African-American as the Funk. Elegantly constructed harmonies and new sounds that travel towards a new musical direction from the most disturbing heart of this experienced and experimental saxophonist.
Another Road is to find on CDBaby.

Lawson Rollins – 3 Minutes to Midnight
Lawson Rollins is one of the most prominent protagonists of Latin jazz. He gives a new meaning to acoustic guitar music. His solo albums Infinita (2008), Espirito (2010), Elevation (2011), Full Circle (2013) and Traveler (2015) are contemporary witnesses of a stunning career.
3 Minutes to Midnight is a new stellar release in the music history of this genre. Valuable companions on this recording are Dominic Camardella (piano, Rhodes and Hammond organ), Dave Bryant (drums, percussion), Randy Tico (bass), Charlie Bisharat (violin, viola), Stephen Duros (drum programming) and Forrest Marquisee (pedal steel).
The set opens with the title song, on which Lawson sounds similar to an evolution of Django Reinhardt. The uplifting Light the Way rises the mood with hand clapping, melodic drums and Lawson's acoustic guitar elating in its transgression like a lark in springtime.


Putting textual criticism issues aside for the moment, why are there no textual notes in the RSV-2CE to indicate these changes? Again, remember, there isn't even a preface to the RSV-2CE which states their philosophy for the 2nd Edition. The one thing that is very clear to me, the more I read the RSV-2CE, is that not only was the editing selective and geared toward lining it up with the Douay-Rheims, but that the description of the revision given by Ignatius as "minor revisions to some of the archaic language used in the first edition" is not telling the whole story. It is more extensive than that, and the only tool we have to seeing the changes does not come from Ignatius Press, but through the RSV Concordance offered by Emmaus Road.
Good catch. You are absolutely right -- it is inexcusable to have such extensive changes with no note or explanation.
Since Jerome never translated Sirach, the Old Latin version became adopted into the Vulgate.
The quote you just gave from the Anchor Bible is very helpful and again shows the need for textual notes. I wonder how Hahn and Mitch will handle this in the ICSB Sirach volume?
I must say that as I continue to observe these issue with the RSV-2CE, the more I am likely to stick with the original RSV-CE.
I think this kind of info is really only important to serious scholars like yourselves. The regular Catholic really doesn't care about such textual notes.. all we want is a good and inspirational version of the Bible that doesn't strive to throw out Catholic tradition (like the NJB and NABRE).
Good detective work. I think it's important that publishers be transparent about things like this.
So, it appears here that the RSV-2CE editors were following LA, as they claim.
However, I still think that a textual note would have been useful.
et sicut nebula texi omnem terram.
et thronus meus in columna nubis.
11 et omnium excellentium et humilium corda virtute calcavi.
et in electis meis mitte radices".
et usque ad futurum saeculum non desinam.
et in Ierusalem potestas mea.
et in plenitudine sanctorum detentio mea.
Again, the key would be the inclusion of the much needed textual note. Or how about in an introduction including a brief explanation as to how LA is implemented in this revision, particularly for those who might not have access to the Vatican document. It just seems to me that a fair amount of confusion could be avoided if Ignatius would be just a little more transparent about the way this revision was executed.
Thanks for that follow up Theophrastus! It makes sense since the RSV-CE was presented to the Vatican in the process to have it approved for use in the Lectionary (which it later was). When Fr. Fessio had responded to this blog years ago, he had said that the Vatican (Congregation of Divine Worship)had required changes to the translation (removing archaic language and other changes which Ignatius Press made). The result of these changes is the RSV-2CE Lectionary and Bible translation. This appears (imo) to be one of those changes required by the Vatican.
I wonder if Ignatius Press has a hidden agenda with the RSV-2CE. Problems are cropping up already with their lack of honesty and transparency. I predict that the RSV-2CE will become even more marginalized as time goes on.
I agree completely. My comment above was intended as an explanation, not a defense.
Maybe Ignatius Press should rename RSV-2CE as the RSV-LA (Liturgiam Authenticam).
On a related note, the NABRE Sirach follows the RSV-CE. Would this be due to the fact that it was translated prior to Liturgiam Authenticam?
The NABRE does not need to follow Nova Vulgata -- the NABRE is not intended for liturgical use.
One issue is that most Biblical scholars consider the Nova Vulgata to be a poor translation. It has quite a few problems, and I must say that the Nova Vulgata deuterocanonicals have been particularly criticized by Catholic biblical scholars.
(c) the CBA would need to agree to accept an inferior and uneven text critical basis for the deuterocanonicals.
It is hard for me imagining any of these three things happening soon, which is why I believe it is unlikely we will see a NAB that matches the lectionary anytime soon.
Wow, you mean the Vatican would consider it desirable or ideal that the lectionary be translated from the Nova Vulgata? Whoo, boy!
Michael: To be precise, the Vatican requires that the lectionary use the same textual basis as the Nova Vulgata. This is a real issue for the Deuterocanonicals: we have not one Septuagint but many Septuagints -- and they disagree with each other to a high degree.
The translation is still from the Greek, but the Nova Vulgata specifies, for each verse, which Greek source text is used as the source text.
However, many Catholic biblical scholars believe that the Nova Vulgata did a poor job on the Deuterocanonicals.
I thought the difference had something to do with the NV... and I agree that it should get a note, if only to show how the textual basis has changed.
Unfortunately you'll never hear it in the US because they've moved the celebration of Epiphany to that day.
(1) The Kindle version appears to have been pulled. It now appears to be available only directly form Ignatius and has a rather elaborate procedure for transfer to the Kindle.
(2) The leather version is still available on sale, but one needs to search by ISBN to find it -- it is not linked from a search by title.
(3) However the hardcover (which Amazon now claims is "bonded leather" even though it has the hardcover ISBN) and the paperback are now full price.
It almost seems as if Amazon and Ignatius were in some sort of argument over this. Unfortunate!

Quantitative ultrastructural analysis in cardiac membrane physiology.
Quantitative measurements on electron micrographs of heart muscle can yield information useful for cellular physiologists and at present not obtainable in other ways. These methods are subject to preparative artifact, sampling problems, and problems inherent in the mathematical description of ultrastructure. Nevertheless they provide the best available data for membrane areas of the plasmalemma and its components, as well as for membrane areas of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Morphometric methods can be used to study growth of membranes. Changes in the volumes of intracellular membrane-limited subcompartments can also be measured. Quantitative analysis of freeze-fractured membrane replicas can be carried out either by a statistical approach or by optical diffraction. In this way, physiological perturbations or developmental events leading to changes in membrane permeability can be studied for correlated changes in membrane structure.

So its been one week at work. I think I am getting into the flow of things, and well it is pretty decent, because the last time I complained about not having any work, I should have really shut up. Now there is enough to keep me busy and in office late nights.
I am restless. Yeah, right now, I am restless, I am angry, and I am cranky. I wish I could just break down and pull my head apart... tug on my hair... shout and make someone understand that, I try. I do. I do.
Yeah, I can, say that n one understand me. But then I guess, I don't try hard enough.. to make the other person understand.. maybe, I should just give up on everything and go with the flow * seriously Chanz, when I put that comment, I meant it* , not understand, the why, and the what of everything that is happening.
I should gear up to fight.
I think, my own sanity and thoughts. Destiny, I think... I am tired of fighting that. I am tired of tempting fate, and I am realllllllly tired of making sure that things happen. Does it matter? Yes, it does matter.
Why should I not fight. After all, I should not be complaining and ranting, and give up before a fight. But, do I want to really.
I can't figure out my own thoughts... how the hell should I figure out rest of the world...!!!
Cool down. Everything will fall in it's place soon. You need to keep your composure and calm. Try to think rationally. Concentrate on work. And stop having negative thoughts. You are fine and can handle everything which comes your way.
Exactly what Jack says (and I am going to listen to him too...I have had a few mini-meltdowns lately).
Sometimes, too, I think it helps to stop trying to figure out for a while...especially as trying to figure out our own thought, let alone another's can just get so confusing as even the individual themselves can so rarely explain them well in entirety...and we can get into such a spiral of frustration of them. It is definitely worth working towards understanding with another person. But, you have a lot going on at the moment, new job and all. Go easy on yourself, and especially don't put too much pressure on yourself...just trust that things will happen, and it will surprise you with how easy it is once the pressure goes. And, thinking doesn't help too much...not past the first 5 minutes anyway.

Q: Remote Desktop Connection: Snow Leopard to WIndows XP I'm trying to make a remote desktop connection from my Macbook at home (running Snow Leopard) to my Windows XP machine at work. The two computers are on entirely different networks.
I log into my work network through VPN, and then I boot up Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac v2.0.1. I try to connect but eventually it says "The Mac computer cannot connect to the Windows-based computer" (to paraphrase).
I am using an AT&T 2WIRE router. I disabled the firewall, disabled stealth mode, and I've simply run out of good ideas. Do I still have to set up port forwarding if I've disabled the firewall?
I simply have no idea why this is not working... I see from googling that it generates problems for a lot of people. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to work?
Thanks in advance.

Radio News' Hey Day
An exciting level of competition existed in radio news in the late 70s between the four full-service news shops. KSL Newsradio's Maria Shilaos tells us how music stations also felt it was important to deliver news to their listeners. KSL also made history when it became the first radio station to broadcast a locally produced evening talk show to a national audience.
