I have always wanted to bring Captain America to the DCU and make him the leader of the Justice Society of America. The Man with No Fear has always said that Justice is blind, now he brings this philosophy to the JSA. More often than not she is thought of as a Goddess so it is only fitting to put Storm on a team that had many Godlike beings walk among their members. The original JSA had an Android among it's ranks that showed more heart than many humans, I would place The Vision in that role. A Vision created by Ivo that finds his true heart and joins the ranks of the JSA to take down the onslaught of his Android "brother" Amazo. The original JSA had Captain Marvel aka Shazam so this versions should have a Marvel of their own, so I give them Marvel Man. Must have a super genius on this team but I wanted someone that could be super powerful as well, so I chose Hany Pym, he gives the option of becoming Ant-man Giant Man Goliath Yellow Jacket Wasp etc. I need a legacy hero in my JSA and also a newbie to the hero scene so I am gonna combine both sorta with my version of Stargirl, Sister Grimm.
The JSA
On the Flip Side:
The Invaders
Superman, aka Reily Parker, is a strange visitor from another world. Young Kal-El was sent into the voids of deep space by his parents when his home planet of Krypton was on the brink of destruction. His rocket crashed landed in Forest Hills, NY and was discovered by young couple Ben and May Parker. Never having had children of their own they took in the passenger of the fallen spacecraft and raised him as their own. Ben would instill in young Reily the morals and ethics that would make him the first and greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe. Superman would appear and usher in the age of heroes knowing that with Great Power Always Comes Great Responsibility! Aquaman Monarch of the 7 Seas, King of the Oceans, Crown Prince of Atlantis! Born of an Atlantean Princess and surface dwelling lighthouse keep, Arthur Curry is a thing of myths and legends destined to rule over that which covers most of the entire planet Earth. Aquaman joined forces with Superman during WWII to form the first Superhero team known as The Invaders! The last member of The Invaders is an Android with the soul of a Man! Jim Hammond thought he was a man but he was actually a machine created for scientific purposes that was turned into a Weapon of Mass Destruction! Hammond rebelled against those that wanted to use him for their own gains and instead found kindred spirits that accepted him for who he was. The Red Tornado would then fight alongside his fellow Invaders saving the world many times over.
Invaders on had 3 members so I am making a second team for my DC to Marvel picks.
The Fantastic Four
Mr. Atomic Ray Richards is among the top 5 most brilliant minds in the Marvel Universe. Wanting to learn more and go further, stretching the bounds of scientific theory into frontiers no one else had reached before. He along with his 3 teammates used and exploratory rocket to try and reach those heights only to be bombarded with Cosmic Rays that gifted them each with new extraordinary abilities! The group remained together now known as The Fantastic Four, the Worlds Greatest Superhero Team! Dr. Light aka Kimiyo Richards was granted the ability to bend and control light to her, she later marries Ray Richards and their team becomes more than a team but the First Family of Superheroes! Vic Stone was the pilot of the rocket that was bombarded with cosmic rays that transformed him into more machine than man. If not for this transformation though none of the group would have survived. By becoming one with the ship Vic was able to do communicate with the ship and do things he never would have been able to as a normal pilot. Now as the hero Cyborg he fights side by side with the other members of the FF!![Bea was the level headed member of a the security detail that was just supposed to be there in case things went wrong, and boy did they ever go wrong. Now she is the super sexy, hot headed heroine known as Fire, and you don't want to be on her bad side when things go wrong!
by Grayson » Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:53 pmAn unlikely group of heroes from several walks of life band together at the request of the Justice League, in order to handle the missions they can't. They are...
Cyclops - Orphaned at a young age, Scott Summers had trouble fitting in. In fact, after he discovered that he possessed the superhuman ability to emit a perpetual optic blast, fitting in became almost impossible. That was until Scott was taken in by Dr. Niles Caulder and the Doom Patrol. Despite stints on the Teen Titans, the Justice League, and the Justice Society, Scott always found his way back to the Doom Patrol until Dr. Caulder attempted to unleash a gene-bomb designed to mutate the Earth's population into freaks. Scott was forced to kill his mentor and friend, causing a permanent rift between himself and the Doom Patrol. Hoping to prevent Scott from going down an even darker path, Batman personally selected him to join and eventually lead the Outsiders. Cyclops was instrumental in minimizing damage prior to Infinite Crisis, when it was discovered that his optic blasts had a similar effect as a red sun allowing him to stop Superman while he was under the control of Maxwell Lord and even allowing him to weaken Superboy Prime.
Emma Frost - Born into a life of wealth and privilege, young Emma Frost soon discovers that she was also born with the uncanny telepathic abilities. Bored with her normal routine, Emma was recruited by Checkmate where she made her way from simple pawn all the way up to the organization's White Queen. After Maxwell Lord was placed in charge of the organization, Emma was expelled from Checkmate which came as somewhat of a shock to her, especially since she viewed Max as a friend after her time as a member of the Justice League International. Soon, she found herself recruited again, this time by Cyclops as he recruited her to join a previous incarnation of the Outsiders. It was during this time that the two rekindled their love from their time on the JLI and eventually married. Emma's powers were crucial during the Flashpoint event, when she learned that The Flash (Barry Allen) had altered reality by time traveling to prevent the death of his mother. Emma altered the altered Earth's heroes and together they were able to restore Earth's proper timeline without any lasting consequences.
Spider-Man (Peter Parker) - As a young boy, Peter Parker watched helplessly as his parents were murdered in a dark New York City alley. Luckily, Peter was adopted by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May and moved to Gotham City. A fateful field trip to Wayne Biotech leaves teenage Peter with the abilities and proportional strength of a spider which he uses to become a superhero and join the Teen Titans befriending a young Johnny Storm. After his Uncle Ben is killed by the Joker, Bruce Wayne seeing an almost mirror image of himself in Peter, steps in to begin mentoring the young man. Wayne helps Peter channel his rage and anger into a strong sense of responsibility towards justice. While partnering with Batman, Peter met his long time love Barbara Gordon. As an adult, Spider-Man became a crucial member of the Justice League, as his quick wit and intelligence are often critical to the team's success.
Nova (Richard Rider) - Nothing extraordinary ever happened to average, everyday teenager Richard Rider...that is until he was asked to become the first human member of the Nova Corps! The Nova Corps worked in tandem with the Green Lantern Corps until the Green Lanterns were all but destroyed during Hal Jordan's Emerald Twilight. Spread thin by the vacuum created in the absence of the Green Lanterns, the Nova Corps were ill prepared during an all out Reach Invasion. Richard soon found himself the sole survivor of the Nova Corps. Becoming the Nova Prime, Richard was able to band a ragtag group of cosmic heroes together and successfully stop the Reach once and for all. When Nova returned to Earth after the Infinite Crisis, he was instrumental in reforming the Justice League and the Nova Force was crucial to repelling Nekron and the Black Lanterns during the Blackest Night.
Human Torch (Johnny Storm) - Originally recruited to be a member of the Challengers of the Unknown, Johnny Storm stayed with the team until he was exposed to cosmic radiation which transformed him into the aptly named Human Torch. Wanting to explore life as a superhero, Johnny left the Challengers to join the Teen Titans where he met his best friend, Peter Parker. Later, after joining the Justice Society of America, Johnny bravely sacrificed his life during the Final Crisis with Apokolips...or so everyone thought. Having been rescued by Nova from the Source Wall itself, a more mature Johnny joins the Outsiders with more purpose and determination than ever.
Rogue - When the woman formerly known as Anna Marie discovered her superhuman ability by siphoning the life force of her boyfriend, her life was forever changed. Becoming Rogue, she took to the streets running from anyone and everyone until she was recruited by the original Fearsome Five. Not wanting to stay in one place for very long, Rogue left the group before being recruited by Deathstroke the Terminator. Eventually Rogue was freed from Deathstroke's control and became a longstanding member of the Doom Patrol but left the group when her friend Cyclops was forced to kill Dr. Caulder. Rogue eventually joined the Justice League International and played an important role when Doomsday arrived on Earth and attempted to kill Superman. When the Justice Society of America reformed, Rogue was asked to join by Jay Garrick and Alan Scott and it was with the Justice Society that Rogue finally learned how to control her powers. When the Society eventually disbanded, Rogue was on her own again, until receiving an invitation from her old friend Cyclops to join his new Outsiders.
Jack of Hearts - Born to a human man and an alien woman, Jack Hart never had an easy life. Unfortunately, that life was made even harder when he was accidentally exposed to an experimental energy source invented by his father called "Zero Fluid." After his father was murdered, Jack used his new found abilities to gain revenge on those responsible. Feeling no sense of justice or satisfaction from this revenge, Jack changed his direction and attempted to go down the path of the hero. Despite joining several teams, Jack never really made a name for himself until he was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice during Imperiex's War of Worlds. Unfortunately, Jack was not allowed to rest in peace, as he was reanimated as a Black Lantern during the Blackest Night event almost being responsible for the end of all life in the universe. Luckily Jack was given a new lease on life when he was brought back to life during the Brightest Day. Really wanting to make a difference and not wanting to waste his second chance, Jack of Hearts joins the Outsiders.
After the death of Charles Xavier, his best students and Earth's Mightiest Heroes band together to ensure that his dream doesn't die with them. Together, they are the...
Uncanny Avengers
Red Lantern (Hal Jordan) - Hal Jordan Summers watched helplessly as he held onto his brother Alex while falling from the burning wreckage of his family's plane. As the brothers plummeted towards the Earth beneath them, Hal's mutant abilities first manifested. Without the aid of a ruby quartz ring to focus his energy, Hal's body perpetually emits a powerful concussive ruby energy. Years later, Hal became Professor Charles Xavier's first X-Man, leading the X-Men through their best and worst times. Eventually, Red Lantern would also become the headmaster of Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the public face of all mutant kind. Tragedy would continue to visit Red Lantern, as the Phoenix Force, the same entity that plagued his second wife Jean Grey, would return to Earth and turn Hal into the all powerful Parallax. It took the combined forces of Earth's Mightiest Heroes to stop Hal but not before he took the life of his friend and mentor, Charles Xavier. Now, Hal seeks redemption for actions that were not entirely his own.
Black Canary (Dinah Lance) - As a young socialite, one would think that Dinah Lance had the world at her fingertips. Unfortunately, as the middle child of a wealthy Massachusetts family she didn't have the attention from the one source that she craved. After discovering that she possessed the mutant ability to produce an ultrasonic "Canary Cry," Dinah struck out on her own. Before she could hit rock bottom, Dinah was brought into the infamous Hellfire Club where she became the club's Black Queen. Over the years, this brought her close to several prominent members of the Marvel Universe but also caused her to clash with the X-Men on many occasions. Upon parting ways with the Club, Dinah took on the name of Black Canary and became a teacher to the mutants of Generation X and Genosha. Eventually Dinah became headmistress of the X-Men alongside her lover, Red Lantern and has been a prominent member of the X-Men ever since. When the Phoenix returned to Earth, Dinah found herself possessed by the entity and was forced to watch as it brought some of her dark past back to the surface. Now Black Canary chooses to stand by the love of her life as they go down the path towards redemption together.
Blue Beetle - After being orphaned as a small boy, Theodore Parker was taken in and raised by his beloved Uncle Ben and Aunt May in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. From an early age, Ted was fascinated by science and it wasn't long before he was a budding science prodigy. While attending a science exhibit with his class, Peter was almost bitten by an irradiated spider. Instead, he was distracted by a strange, blue beetle trapped within the spider's web. Oddly inspired by the beetle, Ted began to dedicate his scientific knowledge to the pursuit of defending others. On that day, your Friendly Neighborhood Blue Beetle was born. Menace to the media, hero to the people, Ted has had a long and prosperous career as a costumed vigilante. Aided by his Uncle Ben, the Blue Beetle has joined such superhero groups of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. Believing that he didn't do enough for mutant rights prior to the war between the Avengers and the X-Men and now recognized as one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Blue Beetle seeks to join the Uncanny Avengers hoping to be an inspiration in bridging the gap between human and mutant relations.
Starfire - Princess Koriand'r was just a small child when her home planet of Tamaran was invaded by the Shi'ar Empire. Stripped of her title and separated from her loved ones, Kori was forced to spend the remainder of her youth in servitude. As she plotted her escape and revenge, she slowly made her way up within the ranks of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. When the Imperial Guard first clashed with the X-Men, Starfire saw her moment, betraying the guard and escaping to Earth. After joining the X-Men, Starfire began a long term relationship with founding X-Man Iceman. When the heroes of Earth started their Civil War, Starfire left the Earth hoping to finally return home to Tamaran but instead found a universe at war. Kori found herself leading a United Front against the Annihilation Wave and ultimately dealt the final fatal blow to Annihilus himself. After narrowly defeating Ultron and the Phalanx, Kori returned to Earth, hoping to help her adopted home take a more active role in defending the universe.
Firestorm - At the age of 16, young Ronnie Raymond Storm joined his sister, her fiancee, and pilot Ben Grimm on a fantastic journey that changed their lives forever. Exposed to cosmic radiation, the quartette returned to Earth as the Fantastic Four! Ronnie discovered that not only had he gained a number of superpowers related to fire but he also gained the ability to transmute inorganic matter. Ronnie's adventures with his family have taken him all over the universe, even temporarily becoming a herald of Galactus. Ronnie was thought to have perished in the Negative Zone when he singlehandedly fought off the Annihilation Wave, preventing the Wave from invading Earth and allowing his friends to escape. It was later discovered that Ronnie had survived this encounter and after rallying a group of other captives, was able to overthrow the Wave, conquer the Negative Zone, and return to Earth a more mature hero.
Power Girl - They say a girl never forgets her first kiss, in Karen Starr's case all she wants to do is forget. Upon kissing her boyfriend Cody for the first time, Karen was terrified to discover that she froze him solid with her breath and unfortunately that was just the start of it. Running away from home, Karen was taken in and eventually adopted by Mystique and Destiny. They pair raised Karen nurturing all the negative feelings she had about her seemingly endless supply of mutant abilities until she was a powder keg of anger and rage. Eventually, as Power Girl, Karen joined her adopted mother's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants plaguing both the Avengers and the X-Men. However, the trauma of all the bad that she was being forced to participate in took its toll on her psyche, causing her to seek out help with the X-Men. Hesitant at first, the X-Men grew to love and care for Karen finally giving her a home and a family. Karen went on to lead several squads of X-Men and has been in an on again off again relationship with both her fellow X-Man Gambit as well as prominent X-Villain Magneto.
Damage - Accidentally exposed to an experiment involving the DNA of various super humans, young Grant Emerson discovered that he had gained fantastic new abilities...that came with a terrible burden. If Grant doesn't sufficiently use his abilities, the extra energy collects causing him to expel a devastating explosion. Over the years, Grant was able to prevent these accidents by pursuing a life of super heroics starting out as a New Warrior and making his way up to a full-fledged member of the Avengers. Unfortunately, the machinations of a deeply disturbed Scarlet Witch led to Grant destroying Avengers Mansion and killing fellow teammate Scott Lang in the process. When Grant returned to heroics, he made the mistake of joining a new team of New Warriors who were attempting to exploit America's obsession with reality television. While attempting to bring a group of super villains to justice, Grant came to blows with Nitro. The combination of their explosive powers leveled the entire state of Connecticut, leaving Grant horribly scarred both physically and mentally, the only survivor.

J Jonah Joker - J Jonah Jamison was accidentally knocked into a vat of chemicals used to print newspaper comics by Spider-man, which transformed him into the insane Comic Prints of Crime.
Ultronamazo - Created by Hank Pym as an agent of good, possessing the powers of an alternate universe JLA that Pym had discovered, it became sentient and turned on its creator and his fellow Avengers.
Hector Hamodok - Supergenius who blames the Avengers for his paralysis, he uses his superior brain powers to control his Mobius chair and those within his mental range.
Kalibak Odintroll - The forgotten bastard son of Odin. Born to a Troll wench after a one-night stand with a drunken Odin, Kalibak burns with anger over his father dismissing him and his mother. He is a sworn enemy of Odin and Thor.
Steel Skull - Killed in batttle with Captain America during WW II, the Red Skull's brain was transplanted by Arnim Zola into his robot creation, Metallo, giving it sentient life and allowing the former Red Skull to continue his fight with Captain America to present day.
Luna Eclipso - After discovering the Anhk of Darkness, archeologist Jean Loring became mentally unstable, and came to believe that she was the true avatar of the Egyptian Lunar-God. She has vowed to eliminate Moon Knight, who she believes is a pretender to her rightful destiny.
Victor Strange, the Faustian One - Deceased brother of Dr Strange, his disembodied soul made a deal with Dormammu to restore his life and grant him mystical powers in exchange for defeating the Sorcerer Supreme.
by HNutz » Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:33 pmSending unused or underutilized DC characters for Marvel to use better (in their own titles, main roles in team titles, etc.) and vice versa.
The Flash (Wally West) - Former New Warrior & New Avenger (not Illuminati New Avengers). Best friends with Kyle.
Adam Strange - Guardians of the Galaxy (written like the "Planet Heist" mini, a little like MacGyver in space)
Lady Blackhawk (Zinda Blake) - Invaders during WWII, the go-to pilot in books like Wolverine, Captain America, etc. Later on, a main character in Fearless Defenders.
Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) - Earth's only Green Lantern, former New Warrior & New Avenger. Wally's best friend.
The Question (Vic Sage) - Loner, conspiracy nut in the MU. Like Batman without the people skills and the money. The lone hero out of a very corrupt Chicago, but will help other heroes on occasion.
Supergirl (Linda Danvers) - Basically Marvel's version of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer meets Veronica Mars. While she fights several threats in her hometown of Leesburg, VA (with an increasing percentage of supernatural threats), she runs into very few superpowered allies. For a short time, she's an "Earth born angel". As she gets older, she runs into characters like Doctor Strange. She has several ties with the members of PAD's X-Factor. Does not wear a costume, just street clothes or specialized gear.
Hawkman ("Carter Hall") - Back to the "Conan with wings" take. Or like Ares. But with the reincarnation aspect in play. When he's killed, he's instantly reborn somewhere and grows up like a normal person, "inheriting" memories of his life on his 21st birthday. I'd take advantage of the history of the MU and show him fighting Apocalypse in Egypt, Sinister in colonial times, the Nazis in WWII, Atlantis at some point, etc. And he doesn't always win, but he has to live with the consequences of his failures. He's able to use what he learns in each lifetime and add it to his knowledge of how to cause destruction, making his mind his most deadly weapon (followed by his mace, flight and enhanced strength, of course). Most of the time, he wears shirts.
Prime (Kevin Green) - He's how "Shazam" (ugh) should be. Think Ultimate Spider-Man set in the DCU with more of an original feel to it. At this point, he's still very young, so there's no team affiliations yet.
Ronin (Maya Lopez) Part of Batman, Inc. Often works with Blackbat (Cassandra Cain).
Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) After making a deal with the devil to save his fiance (which, in the end, didn't quite work out), Danny Ketch finds himself bonded to a demon! Drifting for years, trying to do some good while looking for a cure (reminiscent of David Banner on the Hulk TV show), he eventually finds a spot on the Justice League Dark. He can not shift into the Ghost Rider until "innocent blood has been spilled", a fact that his more informed enemies can easily exploit. Would like to see some ties between him and Etrigran.
Thunderstrike (Kevin Masterson) This would be the nuDCU's version of Starman, with Kevin as the newest version of Thunderstrike. I'd change it up a bit (he's living with his grandfather, who found the enchanted mace and was a hero during WWII, his missing father was deemed "unworthy" to possess the power, etc) but it would be reminiscent of Loeb's Nova, The Last Starfighter, etc. Although he's a little older than them, he'd be a part of the Young Justice group. He beefs up a little when he turns into Thunderstrike, but he's still recognizable as Kevin (unlike Prime or Adam/He-Man in the 200x series).
Captain Marvel/Photon/Pulsar (Monica Rambeau) Part of the JLI, the Justice League, a space based hero... and, occasionally, part of the Birds of Prey.
Black Knight (Dane Whitman) - Former JSA member, now trapped in the past and hanging out with the Demon Knights crew. Doesn't tell people about his past. Knew both Ghost Rider and Etrigran (albeit in different time periods). Tries (and ultimately fails at) avoiding his ancestors from this time period.
Sersi - Dane's long-lived lover. Interestingly, he thinks they met in Dane's original time period but she remembers meeting him here, in the time of the Demon Knights, before she joined the All Star Squadron and the JSA. But she wasn't NEARLY as nice in this time period...
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue Mar 05, 2013 8:20 pmThe Syndicate
Two-Face: great villain for DD and Punisher. So misused in the DCU.
Parasite: I've said this a thousand times, Parasite would be a great Hulk (and even Thor) villain.
Deadshot: I can see him being a good rogue for Hawkeye or Winter Soldier
Zoom (Hunter Zolomon): "Ironman, I want to make you a better hero"
Black Adam: Norse vs Egyptian. Thunder vs. lightning. Thor vs. Teth.
Circe: Foil for Wanda? Yep. Foil for Doc Strange? Yep. Foil for the Defenders, regular or Fearless? Yep.
Gorilla Grodd: the FF love looking for new civilizations, be it on earth or elsewhere. Gorilla kingdom would be perfect for the FF to explore, and Grodd bring a perfect foil for Reed.
The Secret Society
The Ghost: a perfect foil for Batman and Bruce Wayne. Bats needs villains that arent psychotic, but someone after his secrets.
Bullseye: Nightwing is a natural acrobat, and incorporates that into his fighting style. Seems like a perfect challenge for someone who never misses.
Executioner: if you don't think a Skurge vs Wonder Woman battle wouldn't be epic, you need your head examined.
Baron Blood: Long before Batman was the protector of Gotham, the GL Alan Scott was and he his arch nemisis was most gothic indeed.
Klaw: a Hal Jordan baddie. Can objects created by light defeats objects created by sound?
Kraven the Hunter: who will be hunted? Nightwing, that's who.
Purple Man: he'll make superman his bitch.
by Mojo Ichiruto » Tue Mar 05, 2013 9:27 pmGotta say I absolutely loved this draft! Everyone did an amazing job! I loved the way my own picks turned out, and especially like Grayson's Uncanny Avengers and BK's Syndicate. I would love to read comics featuring this characters in these ways! Brilliant job to everyone this time! KUDO'S!!
by e_galston » Tue Mar 05, 2013 9:41 pmi almost had Hope as my last pick, mainly cause i kind of wanted to mimic the Dick/Cassie relationship in Danny/Hope (from AvX at least) but since i wasn't re-doing origins or anything, Hope's powers wouldn't work in the DC Universe since there isn't an X-Gene...
by Grayson » Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:00 pm
lol, I have to admit that I was scrambling to find a replacement for Cyclops but when I decided on Hal Jordan, I just said "fuck it!"
by Mojo Ichiruto » Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:07 pm
I thought that was perfect!
by HNutz » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:15 pmYeah, there's a few of these that sound better than what we're currently getting.

Change in Plans
BUT it ended up all working out for the best: I hadn't yet performed the required trail work for the Angeles Crest 100, and it just so happened that a work trip was scheduled for Saturday, with a training run on the course the next day. And, because I'm going to be out & about all summer, it just so happened that THIS was the only work trip I could make. Our merry band of 12 worked on the Idlehour Trail--I was a "clipper." (Ouch--the forearms were not pleased the next day.) One guy wielded a chainsaw for the bigger stuff, while others focused on trail rehabilitation and stabilization.
I have to say that I enjoyed the Sunday run a little bit more. After a restful and mostly peaceful--a couple of yahoos thought it was really, really cool to howl like coyotes at 11 pm--night of camping at Chilao, about 15 of us ran the 27 miles from Islip Saddle back to Chilao, roughly the second quarter of the course. We passed 7 or 8 PCT thru-hikers and a Boy Scout troop but otherwise had the trail mostly to ourselves. A nice run on a beautiful, sunny day with some cool people. :)
I felt a little bad about missing Jemez but knew it was the right decision.

Sue, lets go for Jemez next year! I heard wonderful things about it, I wanted to go this year as well, but ended up doing Silver State 50M - not as pleased with terrain as I'd like to be (too much fire roads, all 45 miles of it).
Good for you to fill in the volunteer work! You are set for the summer now!

Sue, I am up for R2R2R next May? I'd love to do it this coming October, but I am out of flying miles/money and I might have a surgery right around that time. I am thinking we may have an awesome time with awesome people, I am so jumping! It would be so great to meet you, and hopefully before that too!

We missed you at Jemez! It is a fantastic course and hopefully you can make it happen next year. Many times throughout the race I felt like I was on other courses - little bits and pieces of some of my favorites all in one! Sounds like you are doing well - enjoy the family vacation!

Olga, I'm writing the GC R2R2R on my calendar for early May!! :)

Like this track? You may also like 'The Apocalypse is Coming'
An adrenaline fueled blend of groove metal, hard rock, grunge, destruction and devastation, tainted with hauntedness. 'ZAA' also features a couple of melodic, Muse-esque, piano and bass breakdowns, so make sure you listen from start to finish to really understand the track!
This track definitely takes the listener on a journey and I have described it as best I can below, in 12 parts:
1. Intro/Section A (0:00 – 0:12): Preceded by a Smashing Pumpkins style drum groove, a machine gun guitar & bass riff kicks in, instantly getting the adrenaline flowing.
2. Section B (0:12 – 0:28): A massively groovy Black Label Society / Pantera-esque riff with interspersed Lamb of God style drum fills.
3. Section A repeats (0:28 – 0:36).
4. Section B repeats with some variation and a different ending phrase in order to progress into the next section (0:36 – 0:52).
5. Section C (0:52 – 1:08): Driving guitars, bass and drums accompanied with a haunting melody played on a combination of heavily effected guitars, piano and synths.
6. Section B repeats for the last time (1:08 – 1:24).
7. Section C repeats as the track builds towards a bit of a break down (1:24 – 1:40).
8. An alternative version of Section A builds nicely into the first breakdown section (1:40 – 1:56).
9: Section D begins with a very Muse-esque bass line. This part builds a good amount of tension (1:56 – 2:12).
10. An extremely loud and dramatic version of Section C that is definitely the peak of intensity within this track. Slightly reminiscent of the work of John Murphy on the film '28 Days Later' (2:12 – 2:28).
11. A variation on the themes of Section D. As the disturbing ending tones of the previous section ring out, ambient guitar chords, piano and bass build into on last rendition of the first theme AKA Section A. (2:28 – 2:46).
12. Section A is repeated, concluding with a wall of sound built from synths, piano, guitar, bass and pure ambience. The noise slowly fades into the distance along with some creepy piano tones, ending this epic journey through the zombie apocalypse.
Sounds a bit like: Black Label Society, Pantera, Muse, Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, Limp Bizkit, Lamb of God, Mudvayne…
Ideal for: Opening credits, action movies, Halloween, scenes of destruction / fighting / horror / devastation, extreme sports videos, trailers, motion graphics templates, dramatic montages, zombie themed media, the end of the world…

Gigabyte GA-M78SM-S2H Review
First up are the system specific benchmarks that will test overall scientific performance. For the science tests, only the scores when paired with the 8800GT discrete card are are shown to make the direct comparison to the other boards with the same setup.
To get things stated I will begin with Apophysis. This program is used primarily to render and generate fractal flame images. We will run this benchmark with the following settings:
- Resolution: 2750x2048
- Quality: 500
- Limit Memory use: 512MB
The measurement used is time to render, in minutes, to complete.
WinRAR is a tool to archive and compress large files to a manageable size. We will use 10MB, 100MB, and 500MB files, as well as test the time needed to compress these files. Time will be measured in seconds.
The Zip tests were close but the RAR tests were way too much for the Gigabyte 8200.

Jay Huffman in 1918 purchased a 12-room boarding house in Marshalls Creek called Mountain Lake House. With the help of his wife, Edith, and his eight children, Mountain Lake House became one of the premier full-service resorts in the Poconos.
Jay Huffman in 1918 purchased a 12-room boarding house in Marshalls Creek called Mountain Lake House. With the help of his wife, Edith, and his eight children, Mountain Lake House became one of the premier full-service resorts in the Poconos.
Construction in the area, known as the Cottage Colony, began in 1925. Situated off Route 402 across from Mountain Lake House, it offered eight bungalows. Families usually stayed there through the summer.
Cottages were built one at a time, as needed, and each was named for one of Jay's children. Although the colony offered none of the amenities of Mountain Lake House, its residents enjoyed use of the facilities that Mountain Lake House offered. The Cottage Colony was sold to a neighboring resort, Mountain Manor. Although Mountain Manor and the Cottage Colony still stand as of this writing, neither is in operation.
Growing family business
Sometime after 1943, Jay added the property known as the Marshalls Falls House to the family's growing resort business. They changed the name of the building, which stood at the junction of Business Route 209 and Route 402, to the Village Inn and turned it into a shining example of luxury country accommodations. Complete with a gift shop and ornate billiards room, the Village Inn could house 140 guests and was managed by Norman Huffman until it was replaced by a shopping center in February 1980.
Jay's son, Elwood, took over management of Mountain Lake House in 1940. A large man, Elwood could always be seen overseeing the property with his dog, Cappy. Elwood continued to manage the resort until 1961.
In 1961, Norman Huffman added management of Mountain Lake House to his already busy schedule. He continued to manage the property until his brother, Carlyle, purchased the Mountain Lake House holdings from the rest of the family and installed his son, Bob, as manager in 1971.
In 1982, Carlyle Huffman sold Mountain Lake House to the Farda family. They changed the name of the property to Mountain Lake Resort at that time.
Mountain Lake House closed in September 2000. The resort remained idle until it was sold in 2004 to Richard Blewitt whose dream to reopen the resort (to be called Rich's Promise) as a haven for the families of active-duty military personnel was never to be realized.
In 2004 vandals burned down the Rec Hall, and in 2006 the Marshalls Creek Volunteer Fire Department demolished the remaining wood-frame structures in a controlled burn.
The only remaining structures on the property are the pool, a barn, the tennis courts and the Lakeside Motel.
The property is still for sale as of this writing.
Lady in Blue
This story has been going around Mountain Lake House for as long as anyone can remember. We leave it to you to draw your own conclusion:
Former owner Bob Huffman, who bought Mountain Lake House in 1982, said he had gotten reports a spirit "haunts" Mountain Lake House called The Lady in Blue.
He said, "She lived upstairs in the main house. It is there where the phantom had been noticed most.
"She was the head housekeeper at one time. I think she died here. It wasn't anything violent, though. She just passed away.
"She's been seen in the pantry and in the kitchen. A woman and our chef have reported seeing her. She's been seen walking down the lane, and in about 1994, someone saw a lady in the early morning in the front, walking from the lodge. She was a lady in a light blue coat — that seems to be her M-O. 'Buddy' just kind of looked up, and there she was. He was distracted, and she was gone."
"Buddy" is Buddy Spang, a chef at Mountain Lake who lived there year-round for nine of the 17 years he had been employed at the resort.
He continues the story, "My girlfriend (now wife) lived in the employees' building. We were there one time, and we definitely heard footsteps. One time, the two of us there were walking toward the ballfield and we were going past what was the employees' building. We saw a silhouette in the window. We walked over and went in, and nobody was there."
Spang, who started at Mountain Lake as a dishwasher, spent time alone in the kitchen, and says he often sensed the presence of energy around him.
Spang continued, "Once, I looked across the kitchen and saw something in blue. I thought it was the manager because she had a blue dress on that day. So. I waited for her to come out past the shelf to tell her something and nobody ever came out. I definitely saw that woman, and it was most definitely a sighting."
Spang has talked to other former chefs and employees, and more than one has heard of the ghost, or has had an experience. Some people have pooh-poohed the story, but others have sworn that the Lady in the Blue Coat was very real — or surreal.
Buddy recalled another incident, saying, "It was wintertime, and my wife and I were the only ones on the property. Another couple came to visit. They came down the driveway. They said, 'You know, for such a nasty night, there's some lady in a blue coat just walking down the lane!' Of course, my wife and I just looked at each other. We didn't bother telling our visitors about our visitor."
And there you have the legend of the Lady in Blue.

Chelsea and Manchester City target Radamel Falcao admitted his desire to move to a club outside of Spain and La Liga.
The Atletico Madrid striker has been strongly linked with being the subject of bids out of Stamford Bridge and Etihad Stadium recently and his latest comments will have done little to dampen speculation.
Falcao has attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester City because of an astonishing goal record over the past few years and the fact that he has already notched ten times in ten league appearances.
Despite admitting he would desire a move to another league, the 26-year-old insisted he was fully focused on Atletico and maintaining what has been a highly successful league campaign so far – they suffered their first league defeat only a week ago.
"The opportunity to experience another League and another club will come and I cannot stop dreaming," he said in an interview with Radio Caracol.
"I know that at some point I would like to go to a different team, but today I have three years left on my Atletico contract and my reality is Atletico Madrid."
The Colombia international was open about his ambitions in the game and the advancement of a reputation that is burgeoning.
This realism is probably borne out of the current financial situation at the majority of clubs in Spain, where holding on to their best talents is an unlikely prospect once the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City decide they want them.
However, Falcao is not letting this get in the way of his plans and he is no rush to get ahead of himself.
"I have clear goals - the reality is that I am going step by step, I cannot go any further. I'm dreaming, but I'm not thinking beyond my reality either," he added.
"I dream of going to the World Cup with Colombia and to continue winning with my club."
Winning seems to be a habit for his club at the moment and they are lying second in La Liga, trailing unbeaten Barcelona by just three points.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
Smart File Locking, document scan capability, HD video streaming, full iWorks compatibility, QR code support and more added to industry-leading business online file sharing collaboration service
Soonr, a leading provider of Secure Online File Sharing and Collaboration services for business, today announced several powerful new features for Soonr Workplace, including Smart File Locking, document scanning, Full-resolution video playback on iPad, iWorks Rendering Support, and the ability to generate and share business content embedded onto QR codes.
Soonr Workplace helps business customers gain a competitive advantage by increasing their mobile productivity and providing access to business content from any device, anywhere. Soonr Workplace balances the ease of use desired by end-users to access and work securely with business content alongside the administrative control and oversight required by IT.
"It's great to be back at Macworld this year to unveil the evolution of Soonr Workplace," said Martin Frid-Nielsen, founder and CEO of Soonr. "Soonr continues to improve the mobile business experience on Apple devices with innovative features like Smart File Locking that automatically locks your Microsoft office documents when changes are being made and subsequently unlocks the documents when they are closed. We now enable document scanning and secure access to business content through QR codes that help mobile workers accomplish tasks that used to require a trip to the office."
New features in Soonr Workplace
Smart File Locking: Microsoft Office files are automatically locked when a user begins editing files locally, preventing conflicting versions of a single file from being generated by other Team Members. Similarly documents are unlocked when the documents are closed from within Microsoft Office.
Document Scan: Soonr Workplace now enables high-quality document scanning. Upon activation, Soonr's document scanning leverages a mobile device's camera to capture the document image which is then automatically uploaded to the cloud where it can be stored as a multi-page PDF and shared with Team Members who have access to the project.
Full-resolution video playback on iPad: All iOS compatible video files, including HD formats, are progressively downloaded at their full native resolution from the Soonr service to an iOS device, allowing users to experience the full impact of video content without being required to wait for the entire file to download. Videos that have been "Favorited" are downloaded in full native resolution locally for offline viewing.
iWorks Rendering Support: The iOS version of the Soonr Workplace mobile app has been enhanced to enable rendering of the full iWorks suite, meaning users can fully display and work with iWorks Pages, Keynote and Numbers files on an iPad or iPhone.
QR Code Support: The Soonr Workplace mobile app now fully supports QR codes, by enabling any file or folder stored in Soonr Workplace to have an associated QR code. The QR codes generated by Soonr Workplace can be communicated electronically or placed in public areas, allowing anyone with a mobile device capable of reading QR codes to easily access content shared in Soonr.
Soonr will be demonstrating these new features during the Macworld/iWorld 2013 show in booth MacIT S7 at the Moscone Center West, San Francisco, California, January 31st- February 2nd.
Pricing, Support and Availability
These updates to the Soonr iOS mobile apps are now available for download on iTunes. Subscription to the Soonr Workplace service starts at $9.95 per month and is available through www.soonr.com or by contacting Soonr Sales at 1-855-377-8500.

XY—No. 27 COLUMBUS, OHIO, JULY 3, 1931 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc By the Way By David Schwartz Sweet is Adversity Sonic itcoijle Ilivc :ill the hick—luck even in adversity. Tlicre is iDr. Joseph Tciiciibaiini, for instance, ai proniinciit Iiliysiciail, one of the leaders of. Polish Jewry in America and [ironiincnt gcn- eraily_ in Jewish community life. Hesides medicine. Dr. Tenenbaum' is a devotee of letters. He has written sev¬ eral books. A couple of years ago, he wrote a book oh bex. Well, it had a pretty good sale, then like most books, it faded out of (lie horizon. Then all of a sudden conies word that ,tlic government of the Free State of Ire¬ land had ordered the book supprcsscrl. Ncwspajicrs carried the story, with at¬ tacks and defense, etc. Well, anyway, a new edition has been announced by the imblishers as a result of the publicity. You don't always have to drink mi!k from contented cows to be happy. A Colorful Observation Rumor also says tbat Tenenbaum is planning a trilogy of works on the several aspects of sex. Well, wc ought to be ablc_ to use them—there are only several inillion hooks now on the subject—and .none oi them seem to say very much. This sex preoccupation reminds me of a storv that the late Jamiis Huiicker of "Pathos of Distance" fame told. It seems that a lecturer speaking before a colored congregation cast forth the observation that "after all, there is only a little <Iii- ference between the sexes." "Bless the Lord for that little differ¬ ence," iilterrupted one bf the colored brethren. Those Jewish Angles I'm not quite sure whether we should always bless the Lord about it. As a member of the Jewish fold where the rule of "gam zu iatov" holds sway, I suppose we should, but consider the Starr Faithful case. But I do not intend to go into any oi the esoteric or philosophical angles of that affair. Several Jewish angles have apiieared to help out the Jewish news commentator. I refer to the fact that it appears that Samuel Untermyer is the lavvycr and friend of Dr. Carr and Dr. Brill, the Jewish p.4ycho-analyst who has been extensively quoted. Starr Faithful and Dr. Brill I only saw an extract of Dr. Brill's remarks, and so perhaps should not speak, but what I did see, seems to nie totally wrong. . :, The great psycho-analyst speaking of Starr Faithful brought forth this gen^ eralizatioiK "that a woman to be happy must needs have sonic one man very much in love with her." Now it seems to me that this is just the reverse of the truth, or at best only the half and the lesser half of the truth. For it seems to me that Starr Faithful must have had any number of liicn who could have been very much in love vvith her. The trouhle with her was that she was vtry much in love with another person, I do not know whether I make myself clear, but the point I am trying to make is that it is easier to be loved than to love, and the fact that someone may love you may nevertheless leave you cold as a day in Decemijer. ' Vicki and Starr If vou've seenthc "hit" play of that Jewish playwright, Vicki Baum, Grand 'Hotel, you recall the character, who knowing he is an incurable and must soon die, almost exults in the (act, as he looks on deiiantlv at the whole world. Nobody can harm him now. He laughs at every¬ body. The claws of the universi: have been clipped as far as he is concerned. Sounded melodramatic, but consider that last letter of Starr. Now, at least, she almost glowers at yoii in ecstasy— she can cat how mucli she wants without caring whether she gains or not. She can tcll people that they are too fat, or that she doesn't like their clothes. She can flirt with all the men, whose winks and advances on the streets she has secretly relished, but had before conven¬ tionally ignored. , Fiction will have to step on the gas to catch up with truth! "The Writlne Itch The itch scribendi is a strange disease. Consider the blows the Jewish iicwspa- jierman of New York, in particular, re¬ ceived during the past year. Young Jii¬ dea went td sleep with its fathers, the ¦Jewish Tribune announced as suffering from a case of coma, seems to have re¬ lapsed into iierpctuai slumber, the Nciv Palestine appears to have gone, on that 18 day reducing diet, the Forward stopped its English page, even the New York World, which for so many years offered one of the most lucrative fields for the Jewish writer, is "olav'hashalom." I could go oil and cite more and more fatalities, but I sec, you already have your handkerchief on your eyes. They Keep Trying You would think that "would learn 'em," as the little ungrammaticat school boy said, "Well, you're all damp,'-' as the slang expression goes. In the first place, there is talk of the Forward coming out with a monthly English magazine, there is even talk of a Yiddish daily seeking to resurrect the Jewish Trihuiic, and in another qnarler, conies the persistent clat¬ ter about an effort to start a free speaking sort of Jewish organ—to "tcll the truth about tilings Jewi,sh." New York's Peculiar Situation The fact is that New York offers the paradox of being at the same time the largest Jewish city and the most dilhcult one lo run a successful Jewish publica¬ tion. The reason for that is two-fold. The _ first reason is, that by (he very fact of the enormous Jewish population of New York, the ordinary genera! dailies, give extensive space to Jewish news. A Jew¬ ish paper iinist give excellent coverage indeed, to give more Jewish news, than say, the New York Times, Secondly, that Jewish social, community (Continued on fiatje 4) Los Angeles Talmud Torahs Close for the Lack of Funds LOS ,\NGliLliS. — 'J'he Talmud Torahs under the auspices of the Jcwisli Kdiicational Association closed their doors today on more than (iilO children for lack of funds, h'or a period of several niontlls the teachers have been working without iiay in the hope tliat the United Jewish Welfare Fund drive recently completed would bring theni relief. The drive was not a success and no money was forthcoming lo meet a deficit of at least $11,OOU, most of which was uue to the teachers for back salaries. Ac¬ cording to Dr. George J, Saylin, presi¬ dent of the Jewish Kducatioiial Assoeia- lion, heroic efforts have been made within the iKist few months to finance the Tal¬ mud Torahs but the resiwnse was not great. The Talmud Torahs arc chiefly in the Beyle Heights section of Los Angeles, and, until recently congregations other than those of the Orthodox Jews paid little attention to them. Recently, how¬ ever, the interests of several reiorni rab¬ bis have been elicited and plans are now being discussed how to flnance the schools so that they may reopen in the fall. Sons of the American Revolution By JOSHUA BENDON Julius Baer Plan's Community Gardens for Congested Districts of St. Louis ST. LOUIS.—To akl families in con¬ gested districts of St. Louis to raise veg¬ etables and flowers with free facilities, Julius A. Baer, chairman of the board of Stix, Baer and Fuller Co., one of the city's leading department stores, today proposed a plan to establish a number of community gardens for which he will supply the needed futids. The plan of Mr. Baer, who is one of the, city's outstanding Jews and well- known for his interest in the relief of the poor, is based on the cominitnity gar¬ den idea, so popular in a number of Eu¬ ropean cities.. If the plan succeeds here it will be tried in other (>arts of the coun¬ try. Air. Baer wants these gardens to seri'e as recreational facilities. They arc to be located on unimproved vacant lots in variou.^ parts of the city. Mr. Baer has already issued a, call to land owners to assist in the project by furnishiiis the land. He will supply free flowers,, vegetable seeds, toqls for cul¬ tivation and fertilizer for the soil. Mr. Baer will also build a central toolhouse with Jockers for the tooi.s of each gar- denert Unemployed families will he greatly aided by this'^scheme it was in¬ dicated wheri Mr. Baer announced that at the rear of each lot suitable places for shelter will be established.. Use of the gardens will he free. Any citizen who can show that he is without facilities for gardening will be eligible for a garden plot on one of the lots, Mr. Baer declared. ¦ Each gardener is to use his own judgment as to what he wishes to plant, Mr. Baer said. Mr. Baer is asking the city, the board of education and a number of philan- thropically-minded people to assist him in carrying out !iis plan in time to plant for next spring. The gardens^ will be .supervised by a committee of citizens who will donate their services, . Coming here as a boy of 17, Mr. Baer has heen in business in St. Louis since 18!)2. His present plan is the result of a visit to his sfster in Nuremberg, Ger¬ many, where he observed the community garden xitan in operation. EDITOR'S NOTE: The anniversary of this country's birthday provides Air. Uendon with reason for this brief glance into American revolutionary history ana ihe part played by the Jews.' This article, especially written for The Ohio Jewish Chronicle, is a companion piece tu the story of the Jeivish Daughters of the RevoUtlion which appears elscivhcre in this is.^ue. When Jnly fourth rolls around in the regular cycle of the seasons, and patri¬ otic orators speak their lines on the rev¬ olutionary contributions of "our ancesr tors," Jews from Florida to its rival state oil the Pacific Ocean and from the Gulf of Mexico to the region of the Great flakes need have no fear of em- harraftsmcnt. On the contrary, they too may wax eloquent in their own right. Thu scroll of honor of their ancestors in the years when American freedom was being forged on the anvil of history is a long and fascinating one. It becomes in addition, a remarkable manifestation when viewed against the backgroiutd of this historic fact: that oiit of a population of close to four millions, the. jews, it has heen estimated, summed up to no more than three thousand. From obscure accounts, from old letters grown musly with time, from the yel¬ lowed leaves of contemporary gazettes there arises the truly magnificent story of the Jewish participation in the war *hat made thirteen colonics into an inde¬ pendent nation. ' The three thousand col¬ onists who belonged to the Mosaic per¬ suasion constituted less than the prover¬ bial seasoning; but like the strongest of seasonings they exerted an influence far in excess of their comparative bulk. Furthermore, , in a country divided against itself; when patriot rebels were mortal foes of patriot Tories it was no more than natural that the division should extend into the ranks even of that small nnniber (of three thousand. But it is of historical interest and even of some sig¬ nificance that by far the majority of thut number ivas conspicuous on the side of the declarants for independence. . Even before hostilities broke put Jews were' actively supporting the colonial leaders in their effort for autonomy from the motherland. ' In Philadelphia several of the sons of the American Revolution signed an agreement to discontinue the importation of goods from England. Among those who signed arc several names that have a familiar ring: Benjamin Levy, Sainson Levy, Joseph Jacobs. Hyman Levy, Jr.. David Franks, Mathias Bush, Michael Gratz, Barnard Gratz and Moses Mor¬ decai. In South Carolina, a year before the Declaration was signed. Francis Salvador, a hero if ever there was one, was elected to' menibership in the provincial assembly of that colony. He was highly regarded in that body and held posts on' its most important committees. When the colony was attacked by Indians at the instigation of the Briti.sh, Salvador raised the alarm and took part in several of the skirmishes tbat followed. He died a month after the Declaration of Independence was signed, scalped at the hands of the savage allies of England. In Georgia, one Jew, David Emanuel. lived through stirring war experiences in Chief Justice Cardozo Gets Annual Roosevelt Award For Distinguished Service NEW YORK.—Chief Judge Benja¬ min N. Cardozo of the Court of Apiwals of New York State is one of the three winners of the Roosevelt Medals for dis- tinguifehed service during I!f31, according to an announcement by James R. Garfield, president of the Roosevelt Memorial As¬ sociation. In awarding bim the medal the announcement says: "As Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, it has been said of him by a former Governor (Alfred E. .Smith) that he 'embodied every qualifica-' tioii consonant with the highest judicial ideals; a scholar of immeasurable attain- inents, a lawyer of unbonnded legal erudi¬ tion, the very embodiment of impartiality, fairness and justice.'' "At a time when some of the lower courts have been iiiidcr fire, his integrity, love of justice and highminded approach to ttie duties of his liost have heen a model and an inspiration to the courts thrungliout the country, and a token to the public of the soundness of their ju¬ dicial system. His i>enetrating mind and unusual literary felicity have clarified for the legal world the function of the judge ill shaping an<l developing the, law. "Ui.s judicial opinions and decisions have high authority in all parts of the United States, revealing a spirit con¬ vinced tliat human .sympathy is nut incom¬ patible with judicial integrity and rev¬ erence for the past, and a mind 'supple enough lo go to the great armory of legal luaxims and draw out the one best fitted to bring ilie law into accord with the present strivings and deserts of man¬ kind,' His crealive intellect has played a significant part in the adjustment of legal and judicial conceptions to changing so¬ cial conilitimis," Judge Cardozo, who is a native and resident of New York, is of .Si>anisb-Jew- ish ancestry. In li»27 he wgs elected for a full .term as Cliief Judge. When former President Coolidge in 1027 in¬ vited Judge Cardozo to .succeed tbe late Oscar S. .Straus as a member of the Mague Tribunal, be declined on the ground that he did not believe a judge should hold any other office. battles; once he escaped almost miracu¬ lously irum death at the hands of an enemy squadron tbat had captured him.

At one time he was captured ¦jy the iiritish near Long Island but he managed to pscape and find his way back to his troops. After the Revolution he settled down in Germantown, Philadel¬ pliia, and at one time rented a house that ne owned to President Washington. llirec brothers, Solomon, William and Abraham Pinto—-the lirst two, graduates of Yale—served in a Connecticut rcgi- riient. The ;Hays family in New Vork made its contribution to the front. The iheftalls ill Georgia helped to recruit al¬ most an entire regiment from ahiong the Jewish population of Savannah. Captain Cohen of Virginia, Major Lewis Bush of Pennsylvania, Major Mones oi South Carolina (who was aide de camp to the gencrar in chief), Captain de la Motta, Jacob dc Leon, Reuben Etting (who en¬ listed at the age of nineteen;, Major Solomon Bush, also of Pennsylvania, Manuel Mordecai Noah (the father of th^: founder of Ararat), Lieutenant Abraham Seixas of Georgia—these were only a few of the many Jews who flocked to the colors in support of liberty. The battlefield was not the only field upon which the Jews of that time did their liberal bit. The unquestioned services of Haym Salomon are to be recalled in this connec¬ tion. He served not as a soldier in the ranks, but in his capacity as, banker and financier; in his own way he was very likely worth as much as several regi¬ ments of soldiers. Nor was Hayra Salomon, great as were his contributions to the cause of the im¬ poverished continentals, the only oiie df his. tribe to offer thern financial aid. ; The records are incomplete on these soldiers behind the front, who entrusted their fortunes as well as their lives to the colonists. But marty a patriotic figure emerges. There was Jbsepli Simon r.f Pennsylvania. Jacob I. Cohen of Georgia, the Gratzs of the City of Brotherly Love, their compatriot and neighbor, Jacrb Mart, and in Georgia Mordecai Slieftall; men who individually and collectively of¬ fered their monies and their credit so that the struggling colonies might be free. ;.Here is a roster of men. faithful to great adventures in human liberation, of whom every American has reason to be proud. The patriot who recalls the events of that day of days one hundred and fifty-odd years age can justly reserve special encomiums for the part played by an cnlightenEd and patriotic fragment of •SOOO.

UNDERWRITERS AWARD In ortier to supply Jewish students al Oxford University with kosher meals, the London (England) Lodge of B'nai B'rith has been financially supi>orting a scheme during the last two years whereby a lady keeps a restaurant for Jewish students. The restaurant is now more or less self- supporting, and advices from London are to the effect that an ever-growing num- ner of students are,taking advantage of the kosher food. The London Lodge of B'nai B'rith is a leader in all Jewish movements in Eng¬ land. During the i>ast year it sup[>orted, among other things, the Jewish, Adult Education movement in England, which it founded' itself three years ago, the Habimah Players, the Sabbath Observ¬ ance Bureau, and the Palestine Research Committee. It arrangetl lectures for non- Jews by prominent B'nai B'rith members and others; as many as S.OOO persons at¬ tended some of these affairs. A very powerful Peace Committee was recently formed by the Lodge, and it was decided to devote at least one eve¬ ning every session to peace propaganda. .\ few months ago a special committee was appointed for the purpose of making inquiries into the alleged anti-Jewish dhr crimination, in England, and the report is now being examined. The Lodge is seriously considering,the orgaiiizalion' of a Je\i'isb youth fraternity similar to the .\nierican .\, S. A. of B'nai B'rith. Such an organization would have branches all over England. Tbe Lodge will publish the first number of its own newspaper early in July, aii<l its latest endeavors are in tbe direction of estab¬ lishing a Jewish Statistical Bureau. The Lodge's social service committee is supplying gratis workers tn public bod¬ ies in connection with clubs, Jc\yish'pris¬ oners, study circles, and similar purposes. In one club tbis comniittee is actually responsible for all tbe literary functions and public meetings.

Ussishkin Sees Dr. Weizmann Changing Mind at the Last Minute BASLE.—That Dr. Chaim Weizmann will, at the last minute, change his mind: at the Zionist Congress, and will remain president of the Zionist Organization, was the opinion expressed today by Men- acbem M. Ussishkin, world president of the Jew.isb National Fund, on bis ar¬ rival here to.attend the,Congress, Discussing problems of the Congress with the Jewish Telegraphic x\gency, Mr, Ussishkin expressed regret that the Con- gres.'^ wil devote itself mainly lo two questions, the attitude of the Jews towards tbe British government and the attitude towards the present Zionist Executive. These two questions will overshadow such other inijiortant matters as fitiaiices, land . aild 1 is.sucs concerning the development of the Jewish National Home, Mr. Ussishkin declared. While not advocating the breaking off nf relations with tbe British government, Mr. Ussishkin is of the opinion, that in^ its stand towards the Mandatory Power', no compromise should bq litadc. The, Congress, as well as Jewish public opinion generally, he believes, should tell the world "as loudly as possible about the open and secret injustices which a^e being , perpetrated ,against Jewish interests in Palestine by the,British government." With regard to the Congress' attitude to the Zionist Executive, Mr. Ussishkin is of the opinion that the motto should be "no victor and no loser. A united froiit is tbe most important factor in the present difficult moment; a united front composed of all groups is the only remedy now when the situation cannot be any worse." i Pointing out tliat he believes there still are a number of friends of the Jews among the members of the British gov¬ ernment, including Premier MacDonald, who are, however, being misled by offi¬ cials of tbe Colonial Ofiice "who are out¬ spoken anti-Semites," Mr, Ussishkin is of the opinion that the best way to im¬ prove the present Jewish situation in Pal¬ estine is by bringing more people into the coimtry. "The more Jews we have, the strongr.r our position will be," he said. "Wc can huy as much land as we want if we only have the funds." Council Announces Detroit Convention Dates for 1932 v.

The controls here are a bit looser than I would have preferred. They're not as "floaty" as something like, say, LittleBigPlanet, but don't expect an über-refined Super Meat Boy-like control experience. At the same time, though, the controls work well enough that they shouldn't hinder your progression all that much.
Now, I often feel like indie development studios have a much deeper understanding of sound than a lot of mid-level developers do, and Pid stands as a great example of why I feel this way. Pid just sounds great. It's not an incredibly complex palette of sound effects or anything, but it's how sound is used throughout the game that reveals just how passionate Might and Delight is when it comes to audio.
For example, there's one part where you must explore a gigantic, mazelike cavern. There's this lonely saxophone melody playing the entire time, and as you move closer to the source of the sound, it becomes clearer; as you move further away from it, it becomes more echoed. Not only is this a neat effect, but it gives you an audio cue that helps you get your bearing in an area that could otherwise become frustrating. And once you reach the source of the sound, you meet a lonely saxophonist who's trapped in the maze; what you thought was just background noise ends up being a diegetic audio element.
Also, the sound of Kurt walking on the clay tiles of the rooftops is my new favorite footstep sound effect in gaming.
Pid is a clever little indie title that looks great, sounds great, and provides a decent challenge. Sure, there's currently an almost overwhelming deluge of triple-A blockbusters due to the holiday gaming season, but don't let that distract you from the indie goodness that is Pid.

Despite Wall Street Guru's Terrible Advice A Year Ago, He's Back
One year after a disastrous call to "sell everything," CNBC guru Jeff Gundlach was back on America's No. 1 financial TV channel this week with another bearish prediction.
"The market will drop 3% at a minimum sometime between now and December," Mr. Gundlach said on CNBC's Halftime Report on August 8.
The chyron flashed graphics identifying Mr. Gundlach as a five-star manager and "The New Bond King." But the CNBC interviewer this past week never asked a single question about the terrible investment advice Mr. Gundlach gave in the press almost exactly one year ago.
Mr. Gundlach had advised Barron's readers to "sell everything,", which turned out to be really bad advice for anyone who actually listened to him.
Looking back in time, anyone who followed Mr. Gundlach's advice and sold all their stocks on August 6, 2016, when Barron's published Mr. Gundlach's dire warning to sell everything, missed out on the 15% total return in the Standard & Poor's 500 that followed over the next 12 months.
American financial journalism for decades has covered Wall Street money managers like rock stars.
The financial press almost never looks back at how the predictions of these so-called gurus actually perform over the long-term in the real world.
