Bob Hope, Comedic Master and Entertainer of Troops, Dies at 100
Published: July 28, 2003
(Page 3 of 4)
The format for his touring shows was largely an elaboration of that for his radio show, which featured Jerry Colonna, the bug-eyed comedian with the handlebar mustache; Frances Langford, the singer, and a big band, plus ``guest stars,'' with the emphasis on pretty women.
The Hope caravans traveled from Hollywood to North Africa, the South Pacific, Europe, Australia and Greenland. It was so cold at Thule, the comedian told the soldiers, that one G.I. fell out of bed and broke his pajamas. Kay Kyser, the bandleader, once accused Mr. Hope of having prolonged World War II because there were six Army camps he had not yet played.
In peacetime, when most performers had given up their U.S.O. tours, Mr. Hope continued to tour the outposts. At the same time, he was an indefatigable master of ceremonies for charity functions as well as the most popular of the hosts for the annual Academy Awards program. Mr. Hope first appeared as an Oscar host on radio in 1940. Over the years he appeared 13 times, most recently in 1978. Along the way he made his hopeless yearning for an Oscar into the longest-running gag in the history of the Academy Awards.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1960 voted him a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Award, for his ``humanitarian services.'' It was one of five ''special'' Oscars he received and one of his favorites among the countless awards and citations he received during his lifetime, including 54 honorary degrees and the keys to 500 cities.
Mr. Hope received the Medal of Merit from President Eisenhower. In 1963, John F. Kennedy presented him with the Presidential Gold Medal in recognition of the star's ``services to his country and to the cause of world peace.'' ``I feel very humble,'' he said to President Kennedy, ``but I think I have the strength of character to fight it.'' In 1998, when a false report of his death was circulated, he could even hear himself eulogized by members of Congress.
In 1972 in Saigon, Mr. Hope gave the last of the series of annual Christmas shows for servicemen abroad that he had begun in Berlin in 1948. A project to take him into talks with the North Vietnamese on behalf of American prisoners of war fell through. This was probably the closest the comedian came actually to working with the Government, although he was friend and golfing companion to a succession of Presidents, among them Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Jimmy Carter, as well as former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. (``I love playing golf with Jerry Ford,'' he joked. ``If you beat him, he pardons you.'')
Although Mr. Hope was among the first to make fun of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his crusades against communists, he was careful that his political jabs did not cause genuine pain to either Democrats or Republicans. Only during the Vietnam war did he let his guard down a bit and permit his audiences to see his deep conservatism.
During the 1970's, he still traveled at a pace that would have exhausted ordinary mortals. He made appearances in Central Park in New York and in lesser-known places throughout the country, on behalf of charities and on his own business of comedy.
In 1978, President Carter lent his presence to two days of tributes to Mr. Hope in Washington on the occasion of the comedian's 75th birthday. The celebration, on behalf of the U.S.O., included a series of laudatory speeches about him in the House of Representatives.
The recognition of his film career, which had eluded him when it came to Oscars, was lavishly bestowed in 1979, when he was the performer honored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. That same year, NBC televised six hours culled from the material he had made during his overseas entertainment of the troops over the years.
His trip to the Saudi Arabia to entertain American troops in 1990 was the last of those journeys and one in which he ran afoul of Pentagon censorship. The Defense Department said it had ``restricted media coverage'' of Mr. Hope's visit for security reasons and because of the likelihood that the show would be ``exploited by the Iraqis for propaganda purposes.'' Mr. Hope said he had been forced to censor his material heavily in consultation with the Pentagon and to remove a number of jokes, including those that deal with ``the clothing the women wear around here.'' He was also forced to leave a number of women out of his show, although an exception was made for his wife, Dolores, who was allowed to appear on Christmas Eve to sing ``White Christmas'' to the troops.
Mr. Hope was among those artists and performers awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton in a White House ceremony in 1995. He has also been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Distinguished Service Medal from each branch of the armed forces.
On his 94th birthday in May 1997, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution making him an honorary veteran of the armed forces, noting that Mr. Hope ``has given unselfishly of his time for over a half-century to be with United States service members on foreign shores, working tirelessly to bring a spirit of humor and cheer to millions of service members during their loneliest moments and thereby extending for the American people a touch of home away from home.''

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Although fragment-based screening has recently emerged as a synergistic approach to conventional in vitro or cell-based screens, there are a number of hurdles that must be overcome for the successful use of fragment-based discovery, advised Alex Kiselyov, president of deCODE Chemistry. "First, you need to know how robust your assay is. Incorporating multiple diverse checkpoints would help in assessing how accurate it is and how much you can trust your data. Running alternative assays is always a good idea as these provide for the independent assessment of data quality."
A well-defined flow for developing drug candidates already has been established within the industry, noted Dr. Kiselyov. "At the earlier stages, one needs to make sure that the identified actives are biochemically sound and specific. As a next step, functional activity of hits or their optimized analogues is assessed in cell-based systems followed by proof-of-concept in vivo efficacy studies.
"In addition, a multitude of parameters need to be balanced including pharmacokinetics, metabolic stability, toxicity, and others. Many groups in the industry, including ours, have consistently found that a smaller lead-like hit provides a better starting point for a medicinal chemistry effort."
deCODE is focusing on fragment-based protein crystallography. "We find that this is a highly effective approach to rapidly identify both novel ligands and alternative binding modes," Dr. Kiselyov continues. "This approach, for example, allows us to work on difficult targets, including allosteric modulators and protein-protein interactions.
"The key to finding promising actives is our in-house Fragments of Life™ (FOL) library. This selection is compact (~1,300 molecules) yet chemically diverse. It contains molecules found in the cellular environment, their metabolites, as well as compounds that mimic protein architecture. In a sense, these are 'molecular rulers' for assessing binding areas within a target.
As the field progresses, new applications for fragment-based drug discovery are emerging. Andreas Kuglstatter, Ph.D., head of protein crystallography, Roche, reported, "Once you have found fragments that bind to your target protein, there are many things to do beyond growing or merging them to increase potency. Screening a large compound library for molecules similar to the identified fragments allows you to rapidly discover better molecules.
"For example, we were able to improve the activity of a kinase inhibitor by 100-fold in less than three weeks. You can't do that if you have to synthesize new compounds. Another application is scaffold hopping, in which you replace the core of a known inhibitor with a fragment in order to develop a lead with different properties."Dr. Kuglstatter said that finding lead compounds with novel intellectual property (IP) can be challenging.
"High-throughput screening can find many potent hits, but the problem is IP space. Fragment screening is useful here, as well. We identified fragments with very distinct kinase binding motifs not described in the literature. We then made a custom library for each and tested their potency in a panel of 400 human kinases. So we now have highly attractive, off-the-shelf hits for many human kinases to jump start new projects."
Fragments can also be used to explore protein flexibility and to enable rational selectivity design, noted Dr. Kuglstatter.
"One of the biggest issues with kinase inhibitors is selectivity. By cocrystallizing fragments with their targets, we identified unique protein conformations. This opened the door for the exciting application of selectivity design. Fragments can be optimized using structure-based approaches to bind stronger to your drug target and weaker to all other kinases. This translates into better in vivo safety. We have used these new applications for all small molecule programs where the target is a soluble protein."
Protein kinases play key roles in intracellular signal transduction and, as such, are involved in a variety of disease states including oncology, metabolic, and immunological disorders. Because these targets are druggable, kinases have moved into focus as promising therapeutic drug targets. Proteros Fragments is targeting kinases among other relevant proteins with their fragment-based lead generation technology that employs cocrystallization of target and leads followed by structure-based optimization.
According to Gerhard Mueller, Ph.D., CSO and managing director, "In the area of kinases, we apply a conceptually novel retro-design strategy for which we have synthesized tailor-made fragments and specifically developed an assay technology for efficient fragment screening. The ability to engineer specific binding kinetic characteristics is the main advantage of this kinase inhibitor design approach. In addition, we intentionally avoid at the outset of a lead-finding program placing these seed fragments in the adenine-binding region, which usually translates into an improved IP position for the subsequent optimization campaign."
Dr. Mueller says that most protein kinases in solution adopt a wide variety of different conformations, so inhibitors can be designed that show longer residence times on the target. "Different target conformations offer novel binding sites with unique topologies. Our strategy and fragment design concept that we pursue in-house is based heavily upon protein crystallography-derived structure information of the highest possible resolution. This provides a clear-cut assessment if the fragment of interest is indeed targeting the desired conformational state.
"The key element of the retro-design strategy is that distinct binding attributes can be constructed on the fragment state to create kinase inhibitors with slow dissociation rates. This translates into candidates with increased cellular and in vivo efficacy."

From Booklist
In All for a Song, Dorothy Lynn Dunbar seems contented with her family, her small community and her fiancé, the young minister who took the place of her late father at the pulpit. She can think of few moments more idyllic than stealing to the meadows with her guitar and lifting her voice to God with the songs she writes.
When she visits her sister in St. Louis, Dorothy Lynn is confronted with a way of life completely fresh to her: a world where moving pictures boast the handsome visage of Rudy Valentino, where greasy spoons serve Chinese food, and where a riveting and riling woman named Aimee Semple McPherson is intent on leading sinners to Jesus.
Tantalized by the words she hears at one of Aimee's crusades, and enticed by the prospective career she might have spreading the gospel through the pure notes of her songs, Dorothy Lynn decides to leave small-town life behind. But, what seems romantic and adventurous on the surface will reveal a dark undertone, and she comes to realize that sometimes God works as deeply on small scales as He does on grand stages.
All For A Song proves Allison Pittman is not only one of the most talented and literary writers in the CBA but also an author with a tremendous writing range. Never afraid to confront subjects that have a bit of edge, Pittman sets the coming-of-age story of innocent Dorothy Lynn against the Evangelical fervor strummed up by charismatic speaker Aimee Semple McPherson. The result is an engaging and unique experience that reads like a breath of fresh air in a market filled with many similar historically influenced tales.
The 1920's setting of All For A Song will be familiar for readers who read and enjoyed Pittman's earlier novel, Lillies in Moonlight. The colorful and saucy world of flappers, of bobbed hair and fast automobiles, of rouged lips and frayed skirts are well-paired here against the excitement of the crusades held to bring those fallen back to the purity of God's love.
Readers who want to find comfort within the pages of their Christian novels will surely find it here, but not without first being challenged by the effervescent hype Dorothy Lynn experiences. A beautiful story of a prodigal finding her way back to grace and forgiveness is told with Pittman's customary wit and keen observation. All For a Song exhumes an important figure in our Evangelical past and brings her to life in a way that is thought provoking rather than saccharinely sweet and happy.
If you are looking for an intelligent read that will encourage you to think deeply, feel greatly, and offer more than a few challenges, then All for a Song is the read for you. (Rachel McMillan @rachkmc)

Schaeuble Says Money Markets Don't Understand Euro, FT Reports
Wolfgang Schaeuble, German finance minister, said international financial markets "do not understand the euro," the Financial Times reported, citing an interview.
The euro has "a common monetary union, but we don't have a common fiscal policy," Schaeuble said, according to the newspaper. It's now necessary to "convince the international public and the international markets that this is a new form, very specific to meeting the demands of the 21st century," he said.

Editorial Reviews
—Joseph, Mercola, DO, founder of Mercola.com
"In my quest for a lean, muscular body, I have seen practically every diet and suffered through most of them. It is also my business to help others with their fat loss programs. I am supremely skeptical of any eating plan or "diet" book that can't tell me how and why it works in simple language. Ori Hofmekler's The Warrior Diet does just this, with a logical, readable approach that provides grounding for his claims and never asks the reader to take a leap of faith. The Warrior Diet can be a very valuable weapon in the personal arsenal of any woman."
—DC Maxwell, 2-time Women's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, Co-Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center and Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East
"In a era of decadence, where wants and desires are virtually limitless, Ori's vision recalls an age of warriors, where success meant survival and survival was the only option. A diet of the utmost challenge from which users will reap tremendous benefits."
—John Davies, Olympic and professional sports strength/speed coach
"We're so convinced that we've found 2002's 25 best (the fastest, easiest, cheapest, and most effective) get-fit solutions, that we are awarding them a prize ... FIRST'S first annual Slimmys for weight-loss excellence. When it comes to diets, we weed the godsends from the gimmicks and give you the very best every issue. But our pick for best of the best? The Slimmy goes to ... The Warrior Diet."
—First For Women magazine
"Women everywhere are raving about the super-effective 'warrior' diet—eating lightly during the day, feasting after dark, and losing weight at record speeds."
—Woman's World, November 2002
"Rare in books about food, there is wisdom in the pages of The Warrior Diet ... Ori Hofmekler knows the techniques, but he shows you a possibility—a platform for living your life as well. The Warrior Diet is a book that talks to all of you—the whole person hidden inside."
—Udo Erasmus, author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill
"The Warrior Diet certainly defies so-called modern nutritional and training dogmas. Having met Ori on several occasions, I can certainly attest that he is the living proof that his system works. He maintains a ripped muscular body year round despite juggling extreme workloads and family life. His take on supplementation is refreshing as he promotes an integrated and timed approach. The Warrior Diet is a must-read for the nutrition and training enthusiast who wishes to expand his horizons."
—Charles Poliquin, author of The Poliquin Principles and Modern Trends in Strength Training, three-time Olympic Strength Coach
"Ori Hofmekler has his finger on a deep, ancient and very visceral pulse—one that too many of us have all but forgotten. Part warrior-athlete, part philosopherromantic, Ori not only reminds us what this innate, instinctive rhythm is all about, he also shows us how to detect and rekindle it in our own bodies. His program challenges and guides each of us to fully reclaim for ourselves the strength, sinew, energy, and spirit that humans have always been meant to possess."
—Pilar Gerasimo, Editor in Chief, Experience Life Magazine
"I think of myself as a modern-day warrior: businessman, family man, and competitive athlete. In the two years that I have been following The Warrior Diet, I have enjoyed the predators' advantage of freedom from the necessity of frequent feedings. I also benefit from the competitive edge of being a fat burning machine. My twelve-year-old son, who is also a competitive athlete, has naturally gravitated toward The Warrior Diet. He is growing up lean, strong, and healthy, unlike many of his peers, many of whom, even in this land of plenty, are overweight and frequently sick."
—Stephen Maxwell, two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, Co-Owner, Maxercise Sports/Fitness Training Center and Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy East
"An original, distinctive, and highly satisfying diet plan, The Warrior Diet is meant especially for those who pursue an active lifestyle."
—Midwest Book Review
"I refuse to graze all day, I have better things to do. I choose The Warrior Diet."
—Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Power to the People! and The Russian Kettlebell
"Sill stronger, leaner, and fitter then ever with the Warrior Diet!"
—World Cup Climber Jürgen Reis

I was never hungry during the undereating phase. As anyone who has ever fasted can tell you, when you have eaten nothing for a while and are burning fat, you experience no hunger. You are serene. I also maintained the same weight for many years following this habit of only eating one large meal a day.
If looked at closely it can be seen that the essence of the warrior diet is mini-fasts and the avoidance of carbohydrates, especially the processed kind. Hofmekler is not entirely rigorous in that recommendation however, allowing one to eat fresh fruits and vegetables or even some protein during the undereating or fasting phase. Notice that this diet is similar to some of the low-carbs diets currently fashionable. Note also that mini-fasting results in a period of time in which the digestive system is given a rest. With no food in the system, the body is forced to burn fat. Fat burns clean, relatively speaking, as Hofmekler explains. This is quite a change from the days when we were taught that fat was the culprit. Today we know that concentrated, processed carbohydrates and such things as corn syrup are what is making America fat and frankly sick.Read more ›
That said - it really isn't a fad diet! I've been on fad diets and gained to 160lbs as a 5'7" female. Atkins, low fat, high fat, 6 mini meals, until I finally decided to give up dieting once and for all.
I found myself eating a large meal at night and not much during the day and feeling better and losing weight! So I researched large dinner meals on the web so I wouldn't feel so guilty for eating against most nutrition and diet fad dogma. I found this book and was so happy to have someone back up my own instinctive findings!
While this way of eating may not work for everyone, once you get used to eating very lightly during the day, you'll have so much more energy! Sometimes I break down and eat a sandwich or a meal at lunchtime, then get very sluggish and I find I need coffee or some type of caffeine to get through the afternoon. When I'm drinking lots of water and small bits of protein bar throughout the day - no meals - I fly through with amazing clarity of mind.
I find I look forward to my main meal around 8pm and it tastes so good. It also feels better than ever in my life after eating that meal. Instead of feeling bloated and sick I feel satisfied and comfortable.
One final note (actually 2)
1) I absolutely love eating a large meal at dinner and having other girls look at my chocolate cake or fatty meal in envy (I'm now 130lbs 5'7" and toned), or have my friends make remarks that they can't believe I can eat like that and stay thin :)
2) I used to binge eat when I was dieting, and would eat until I felt very sick at night.Read more ›
Overall, I still think this diet has many interesting points and maybe great for some, but DO NOT hesitate to eat ample amounts of acceptable foods during the day (raw fruits and veggies) if you feel you need it. Even then, pay attention to your body's signals in the long run. If you're not feeling good, give it a break. There are many scientific studies that support this way of eating, but there are also many that support eating more regularly. What's the answer? Who knows. For me the answer is to experiment a little and listen to my body.Read more ›

Discussion in 'Television' started by sugajay22, Sep 28, 2005.
Anyone else catch this in episode 1?
If that is not him, then damn, this his is doppelgänger.
lol nice eye but i doubt thats him they dont have any high profile celebs in this show
They're having this same discussion on HBO's Rome forum. It could possibly be him, it sure looks like him.
Heh, that's really funny. I'd be suprised if that actually was him, but it does look very similar.
I totally thought it was him when I saw it too. It went by very fast, and nobody I was watching with mentioned anything, so I kept it to myself and convinced myself I was crazy.
Edit: I'm convinced that it's him. I can't find a single feature that is different between the two side by side pictures. Eyes, eyebrows, nose, ears, mouth. They're all the same. It has to be him.
actual sean pean has a clef chin
the one in rome doesn't
It's not a huge cleft, and with the facial hair it'd be harder to spot. I still say it could likely be him. I thought it odd that they chose to zoom in on that particular extra during the scene. It's possible he just did it for fun. We may never know for sure though.

New Book Reveals Edward R. Murrow's Years As a Government Propagandist
"I don't mind being called a propagandist," Edward R. Murrow told a reporter at the Miami Herald in April of 1962. "So long as that propaganda is based on the truth."
"I don't mind being called a propagandist," Edward R. Murrow told a reporter at the Miami Herald in April of 1962. "So long as that propaganda is based on the truth."
I've never been one for JFK assassination conspiracy theories. But I do love studying what movies the presidents watched. So while compiling the list of films that President Kennedy viewed while in the White House I was surprised to stumble on what seems like fuel for a new conspiracy theory. How did President Kennedy…
Entertainment Weekly snagged this clip from Hulu's Stephen King adaptation 11.22.63—which stars James Franco as a teacher who time-travels to prevent a certain history-changing presidential assassination from happening. This scene is clearly from early in the series, and it features a flashback to one character's…
There's a lot of speculation about who really killed President John F. Kennedy. Was it the Cubans? The mafia? The CIA? Or was it a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald? And if Oswald was just a patsy, as he claimed before he himself was killed, could his most famous image be a fake? Researchers have now shown through…
The internet is overflowing with fake images. But who has time to debunk them all? Sadly, we do. Today we're releasing the debut episode of our new video series Totally Fake. This week: Dead celebrities.
Recently declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive reveal that the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations were considering military action to prevent or delay China from building nuclear weapons — even if that meant working with Moscow to stage an accidental bombing.
Today's forecast calls for viral with a 100 percent chance of fake. And scattered nudity by midday.
November 22 marked the 51st anniversary of the death of President Kennedy — a tragedy that changed the course of history. It also spawned the greatest conspiracy-generating machine of all time.
In time for the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, Slate investigated just how many streets, schools, parks and other public places are named in honor of our 35th president. The tributes go far beyond our own borders.
After sitting forgotten in storage for more than 45 years, the daughter of an amateur photographer has uncovered a set of remarkable images taken mere minutes before President John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's legendary clarion call to the United States, to invest its heart, hopes and mind in the exploration of space. An enduring message of audacity and spirit, it remains as rousing (and, arguably, as relevant) today as it did when Kennedy delivered it at Rice…

He narrowly avoided legal action after he and his wife Amber Heard illegally brought their dogs into Australia and now Johnny Depp is making fun of the way he was forced to apologize for his actions.
Following up the success of 2010's "Alice in Wonderland," Walt Disney Pictures is gearing up for the release of "Alice Through The Looking Glass" with an incredible new promotional trailer.
His acting range is nothing short of astounding, and Johnny Depp's latest challenge finds him impersonating one of the most polarizing characters in today's political landscape.
Giving the fans the final word, the 2016 People's Choice Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles last night (January 6) with host Jane Lynch at the helm.
Amber Heard's lawyer has scored a second adjournment as the actress continues to fight allegations she skipped quarantine protocol when she brought her dogs into Australia earlier this year.
It's an exciting time for movie fans, as Walt Disney Pictures just rolled out a batch of character posters for "Alice Through the Looking Glass."
Giving the people what they want, Walt Disney Pictures just unleashed a fantastic full-length trailer for the forthcoming "Alice Through the Looking Glass" film.
Enjoying a little time across the pond, Johnny Depp brought his lovely wife Amber Heard to the UK premiere of "Black Mass" at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday evening (October 11) as part of the London Film Festival.
While chatting with the BBC, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" hunk discussed the whole idea of accolades in the film industry and why he's not keen on winning an Oscar.

I just checked at 4 a.m. central time and it wasn't there. Oh well, I need my sleep. I guess I'll just download it first thing in the morning.
Sorry guys... looks like Major Nelson is lying to us! Not up on live yet by the looks of it. Sorry for the false alarm!
It seems to be widespread now. I'm downloading in the UK.
It takes a while for content to get distributed to all of their servers. Keep trying and it'll show up eventually. Running the "xbox live test" from the Xbox 360 dashboard disconnects you, and sometimes when you reconnect you'll get a different server so if you're really in a hurry you can try that.
im a little grouchy now ive only slept 3 hours in 2 days so this will probably not sound the best.
10 bucks for 3 maps.
2 maps i will never play,
and 2 game modes i will NEVER play
ubi still is charging for 2 year old content on ba when will this **** stop. you have in game adds that pay for nothing and yet you still charge us more than other game manufacturers for less product..

Life in mono
Indie outfit Ackkstudios have announced they are now licensed developers for the Wii U console. They'll be bringing their game Two Brothers onto the eShop sometime during 2013.
Two Brothers started out as a Kickstarter project for PC, Xbox 360 and OSx. The initial goal was to raise $6,000 but this target was smashed and the final funding amount was $16,257 USD.
The game's monochrome graphical style is heavily influenced by the original Game Boy handheld, with large segments of play having a green background and black pixel work. The titular two brothers are called Roy and Bivare, they embark on a quest to prove the existence of a color spectrum - and these color elements begin to feature in the environments.
Personally I never spent a great deal of time with the Game Boy so I'm not going crazy over the visuals, but if you watch the Kickstarter video the game does have some cool ideas going for it.

In this paper, we utilize the contactless power transmission technique in RFID system to achieve the battery-less tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The system adopts a high-efficiency class-E power amplifier to transmit RF power. The circuit for the whole power transmission circuit from the tire transponder to the reader is modeled so as to achieve the optimal circuit parameters for a high efficiency. This system uses the load modulation to realize the data transmission, which includes the temperature and pressure data of tires. The optimal speed of 45 km/hr is achieved with a 1000 muF VDD capacitor.

An empirical investigation of the performance of online sponsored search markets
A market is one of many varieties of systems, institutions, procedures, social relations and infrastructures whereby parties engage in exchange. While parties may exchange goods and services by barter, most markets rely on sellers offering their goods or services (including labor) in exchange for money from buyers. It can be said that a market is the process by which the prices of goods and services are established.

'The Streak': 25 years later, the Trappers' record-setting performance still stands tall
A friendship was born, but the reality of competing with organizations like the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants was no easy task. Schley had to rely on contacts and his scouting network to find players, all the while funding much of the initial costs associated with starting the team with his personal American Express card. Despite these challenges, Schley was not discouraged. With his management team in place, Schley and his staff were now ready to begin building a team.
"We told Van we need strong pitching and offense, and he listened," Gilligan said. "We had no idea what we would get in terms of players defensively, but I knew we were going to hit."
Through Schley's Texas Star baseball network, Gilligan set up a series of open tryouts, posted in such publications as Baseball America, for would-be players who could show up and show what they had. The tryouts were held in such places as Malibu, Calif.; Beaumont, Texas, and Miami — with 100 to 150 players participating in a series of drills to determine if any had the skills Gilligan sought.
Although only a small number who attended the tryouts were invited to then practice with the team, the opportunity for the experience was an investment many aspiring, young players could not pass up. Plus, it was good publicity for Schley and his fledgling team.
At the open tryout in Salt Lake City, the players came in all shapes and sizes to try for their shot at playing professional baseball and the chance to earn $500 per month — plus the $11 a day in meal money.
"We had one guy who had been on a three-day bus ride from Pittsburgh show up at Derks Field at 6 a.m. ready to show how good a pitcher he was and another player who wore overalls and work boots to the tryout," remembers Dave Baggott, who played in 1986 for the Trappers and then moved to the front office as assistant general manager in 1987. "It was certainly a broad spectrum of baseball talent that came to these open tryouts."
But most of the players who made up the '87 Trappers played college baseball and came from recognized programs with a solid pedigree. For various reasons, though, they'd been overlooked and were not selected in the draft.
"No manager gets the kind of players and personalities that I had on that '87 team," Gilligan said. "Jimmy Ferguson had that movie-star smile, hit .329, and Colston, well, I can't tell any of the stories about Frank that you can print. But he was a character, and he led the league hitting nearly .400 that year. All of the players brought some element of character and personality to the team. That was key to our team chemistry."
In retrospect, the real benefit to the Trappers was the focus that Schley, Gilligan and Moss put on those overlooked college players. Many of the players who were recruited were all-conference or led their teams in any number of statistical categories. Some were just coming off playing in the College World Series, while others had been selected from other teams in the minors.
How did this all factor into the psyche of the team?
"Many of our players were obviously scouted by the heads of their major league organizations, and for some reason they were overlooked," Gilligan said. "It didn't mean these weren't good players, it just meant that they felt another player was a better fit for their situation.
"What drove this group of players," Gilligan added, "was the fact they hated to lose — that's what motivated them."
In the end, the chemistry experiment would be put to the test as the Trappers ended up playing against what the establishment deemed future major league stars.
Randy Kerdoon, the radio play-by-play man for the Trappers that year, recalls how he became the Trappers' announcer.
"I was doing (Salt Lake) Golden Eagles hockey games and was offered to do play-by-play for the Trappers for $25 a game," he said. "I loved baseball so much that I took the job. Looking back, I'm glad I did.
"At the start of the season," Kerdoon continues, "we didn't know what we had. I was just trying to learn all the players' names. We were all in the minor leagues, trying to prove ourselves. We were all looking to get to the major leagues."
