Previews of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" reveal a stately historical account of our 16th president's final days in office as he signs the 13th Amendment, banning slavery. Few doubt that Daniel Day Lewis will not receive an Academy Award nomination for his work as President Lincoln, although, ironically - Lewis was not Spielberg's first choice.

Keywords: Liam Neeson, Steven Spielberg, Abraham Lincoln, historical accounts
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It was Liam Neeson, who had worked with Spielberg previously in "Schindler's List," was set to play Abraham Lincoln. The "Lincoln" project then fell into "development hell," where a film is pushed to the back burner due to a busy director attending to too many other productions.
Many were uncertain about Spielberg's "Lincoln" project, as it closely resembled one of the director's rare box office failures, the Civil War drama "Amistad."
Spielberg had acquired the rights to Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's book "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" in 2001. Neeson was originally set to play Lincoln - but Spielberg got bogged down with many other productions.
Like many top directors, Spielberg was attached to a number of films simultaneously. Between the time that he got the rights to Goodwin's book and now, Spielberg has directed eight movies and produced around two dozen while at the same time helming his production company Dreamworks.
In the interim, Neeson apparently decided he no longer wanted to be a part of the project. He told a British chat show, "I'm not actually playing Lincoln now. I was attached to it for a while, but it's now -- I'm past my sell-by date." Lincoln was 56 years old at the time of his assassination, at Neeson is now 60 years old.
Furthermore, Neeson is apparently no longer interested in making highbrow fare seen by too few people. His last few films, "Taken 2," "The A-Team," and "Battleship" have been all money-making action blockbusters designed for the popular film going audience.
Neeson's broad forehead and prominent nose certainly resembles Honest Abe's. Neeson is also the same height as Lincoln at 6-foot, four inches. However, he's far too robust to play Lincoln, described by many as being as thin as a "beanpole."
Spielberg was adamant that the film be as historically precise as possible. "We would have been a little bit criticized had we done Lincoln the way Disney does him at Epcot Center," said the director during the post screening question and answer period.
Word is also out that "Lincoln," is much more of a dialogue-heavy chamber drama than the sweeping epic you might expect from the trailer. Star Daniel Day-Lewis reportedly delivers a masterful, mesmerizing performance.
Hopefully, the film will drive out the lingering bad memories of one of the worst films of all time that visited theaters earlier this year on a similar theme - "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter."

8 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, In Season, November 7, 2012
Packed with vitamin A, pumpkins are good for more than carving, and it's time to expand your palate beyond pumpkin pie. They're absolutely delicious in any of these 8 healthy recipes.
Nutrition Lowdown
Both fresh and canned pumpkins are packed with nutritional goodness. Oftentimes, recipes will use the canned pumpkin since it takes a little work to use fresh. If you choose canned pumpkin, make sure to purchase 100% pureed pumpkin, not pie filling (check the ingredient list).
One cup of canned pumpkin has 83 calories, 1 gram of fat and 7 grams of fiber. It also has close to 800% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin A, 49% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K and 19% of your daily recommended amount of iron. It also has a good amount of vitamins E and C, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese.
Creamy Risotto
This recipe uses a combo of diced and pureed pumpkin. Combined with mascarpone and fresh Parmesan cheese, it's heavenly.
Recipe: Creamy Baked Pumpkin Risotto (above)
Spiked Punch
Pureed pumpkin mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of rum (for the adults) will help warm you up on a chilly night.

Network Simulator 2: a Simulation Tool for Linux
This scenario examines web traffic over a TCP network. To simulate this case, we defined six nodes:
node 0 is the client that will request a web page from the web server.
node 1 is the client's router.
node 2 is the web cache's primary router.
node 3 is the web cache's secondary router.
node 4 is the web cache server.
node 5 is the web server.
The web cache (node 4) is connected to a web server (node 5) through a router (node 3). The web client (node 0) is connected to web cache (node 4) with connection routed through the client's router (node 1). To simulate this case scenario, you need the script shown in Listing 2.
When executing ns ./tcpweb.tcl, you will obtain two windows: the network animator and the simulation window. Figure 5 shows a possible layout of the nodes in simulation window. To get an accurate picture of traffic from client, bandwidth graphs for the link between nodes 1 and 2 are displayed.
Link failure occurs between nodes 2 and 4 (Figure 5) as defined by the following lines:
$ns rtmodel-at 3 down $lrmon3 $lmcrt1 $ns rtmodel-at 7 up $lrmon3 $lmcrt1
Packets that were on the link are lost and must be retransmitted. After failure, notice the break in packet traffic in the bandwidth graphs. TCP packets are now taking another path from web cache to web client. Yet the connection is not lost because of the failure, since we can see that packets are still being exchanged between client and cache. If the display of nodes is not to your liking, you can change it using the Re-layout function button in the simulator window. While playing the simulation, you can change the step using the slider bar. This will be especially useful during the link failure between three and seven seconds to see dropped packets.
Another interesting aspect of this scenario is the visual server-cache and client-cache interaction. You can see a model of real-time common interactions on the Internet. Of course, bear in mind that this is a generalized simulation.
If you prefer a graphical interface to setup network simulations, NAM supports a drag-and-drop user interface. You can place network nodes, link them together and define user agents and their associated application or traffic generator. SCTP is not included in this interface because the patch was specific to NS2 source code, not NAM. NAM is useful for quickly building a network topology. However, we experienced multiple segmentation faults during editing (back up your files often).
The following example explains how to use basic NAM features. The first step is to start an instance of NAM by executing ./nam. Selecting New in the file menu, you will see the editor window appear. For this example, we are trying to build the topology seen in Figure 6.
On the toolbar, click on the Add node button and place three nodes in editor window by right clicking at the correct positions. To link nodes, click on Add link. Select one node and drag-click to the next node to create link. Next, choose which agents you want to use on network in agent drop-down menu. To add an agent, click on the appropriate node. Lastly, you choose what applications you want to simulate: either FTP or CBR source. To add an application, click on the chosen agent. At this point, you can right click on different elements in your topology and edit their properties such as color or start and end time for applications. If you get a dialog saying that you must connect your agents, use Add link and connect different agents to simulate your scenario. In case of a blunder, there is a delete button on the toolbar. Note that editor and simulation windows are both part of NAM, but simulation must first be interpreted by NS2 so that NAM can replay the log of simulation.
We decided to test NS2 because of its support of SCTP (which is a requirement for us), graphical representations, multiple protocols and many other reasons. However, you need to patch the source code in case the protocol you want to simulate is not supported and live with low-quality graphics tool.
NS2 is a tool that helps you better understand certain mechanisms in protocol definitions, such as congestion control, that are difficult to see in live testing. It provides good documentation and support for different add-ons. We recommend NS2 as a tool to help understand how protocols work and interact with different network topologies.
We would like to enforce the need for such tools to be open source and targeted toward supporting Linux. With the emergence of new protocols, such as IPv6 and SCTP, NS2 can be very useful for the Open Source community.

Change queue parameters dynamically during the simulation r
Dear friend,
I want to change parameters of a RED queue during the simulation but it seems that some parameters can be modified only before starting the simulation, not dynamically, while the simulation is in progress. For example the following subroutines works before $ns run command but it do not affect the behavior of the queue during the simulation( I want to change maxthresh_ and thresh_ after $ns run command):
proc setREDParameters { redQueue MINth MAXth PER_MaxP Wq } {
$redQueue set thresh_ $MINth
$redQueue set maxthresh_ $MAXth
$redQueue set q_weight_ $Wq
$redQueue set linterm_ $PER_MaxP
return $redQueue
Who knows what I should do ?

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I've been playing offline co-op with a friend and that alone is worth a good chunk of the money paid for it. It is pretty challenging too, even on normal mode. The only problem I have is the team A.I aren't that intelligent.

Yeah they aren't I've taken to hiding them while I do most of the work then moving them on after it's over. I'm not used to team strategy games so for the firts hour I tried to run-and-gun, failing miserably Great looking game but that sunflare is annoying the hell out of me at the moment
March 13th, 2006, 11:11 PM #449
Yeah I was used to run and gun style as well and it took a bit of time before I got used to the tactical pace. The game designers were trying to make the sunlight realistic, and make it look like Mexico does in the day-time, and succeeds in pissing me off! I agree about the graphics being great. Some levels have amazed me with the detail. What level are you on?

BMC Infectious Diseases 2014, 14:355 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-14-355
Published: 1 July 2014Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases affecting millions worldwide. The currently available anti-TB drugs and vaccines have proved insufficient to contain this scourge, necessitating an urgent need for identification of novel drug targets and therapeutic strategies. The disruption of crucial protein-protein interactions, especially those that are responsible for virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis – for example the ESAT-6:CFP10 complex – are a worthy pursuit in this direction.
We therefore sought to improvise a method to attenuate M. tuberculosis while retaining the latter's antigenic properties. We screened peptide libraries for potent ESAT-6 binders capable of dissociating CFP10 from ESAT-6. We assessed the disruption by a peptide named HCL2, of the ESAT-6:CFP10 complex and studied its effects on mycobacterial survival and virulence.
We found that HCL2, derived from the human cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (COX3) protein, disrupts ESAT-6:CFP10 complex, binds ESAT-6 potently, disintegrates bacterial cell wall and inhibits extracellular as well as intracellular mycobacterial growth. In addition, an HCL2 expressing M. tuberculosis strain induces both Th1 and Th17 host protective responses.
Disruption of ESAT-6:CFP10 association could, therefore, be an alternate method for attenuating M. tuberculosis, and a possible route towards future vaccine generation.

Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
- The information in church records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another.
Search the Collection
To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ select "Browse" link in the initial collection page
⇒ Select the "City or Town" category
⇒ Select the "Parish" category
⇒ Select the "Record Type and Years" which takes you to the images.

For Help Reading These Records
These records are in Spanish. For help reading the records, see the following wiki articles:
Using the Information
- Use the marriage date and place as the basis for compiling a new family group or for verifying existing information.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment or military records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- The name of the officiator is a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county. However, ministers may have reported marriages performed in other counties.
- Compile the marriage entries for every person who has the same surname as the bride or groom; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- Use the marriage number to identify previous marriages.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- The information in church records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
Don't overlook FHL Place Argentina, Rio Negro items or FHL Keyword Argentina, Rio Negro items in the FamilySearch Library Catalog. For other libraries (local and national) or to gain access to items of interest, see Argentina Archives and Libraries. |

Call on the Scottish Government to Support Model Anti-Slavery Law
In Scotland right now, potentially the world's 'most innovative and comprehensive'[1] anti-slavery laws are up for discussion in parliament. An unprecedented action plan is on the table that outlines tough penalties for offenders and a new system of support for survivors. This could also be used to inspire other modern slavery laws around the world.
Although a wide range of activists, lawyers, academics and policy-makers are united in support of this proposal, [2] this anti-slavery law currently hangs in the balance.
The next stage is perhaps the most critical yet to ensure this ambitious proposal becomes law. The Scottish Government now has the chance to have its say and has the option of vetoing the proposal, stopping this game-changing initiative dead in its tracks.
However, the Scottish Government can also waive its right to veto, meaning the Scottish Human Trafficking Bill will be on the final stretch to becoming law. If enough of us speak out, we can get the Scottish Government to do the right thing and join us in support of this proposal to tackle modern slavery.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is the Scottish Government minister who has the power to decide the fate of the Scottish Human Trafficking Bill. It's vital that we show there is strong support for tough laws to tackle modern slavery in Scotland.
Call on the Scottish Government to support model anti-slavery law in Scotland.
[1] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24033310
[2] http://news.stv.tv/politics/261211-huge-public-support-for-proposed-human-trafficking-legislation
You have been outspoken in the past about the need to tackle the 'abhorrent crime' of modern slavery, stating that 'it's totally unacceptable in this day and age that victims continue to be exploited for forced labour, sex or domestic servitude'.
I agree, which is why your support for the proposed Human Trafficking Bill in Scotland is so important. The proposal on the table would:
* Establish a 'Survivors Service' to identify, assist and seek justice for victims.
* Ensure stronger penalties for traffickers and those that help them.
* Make special provisions for the child victims of trafficking, including allocating an expert guardian to fight for their rights.
Strong legislation is an important first step in tackling modern slavery and I hope that Scotland will lead the way on this issue.

Zach Braff's second directorial effort, the comedy-drama "Wish I Was Here," ran the festival circuit earlier this year. Now, a month before its New York and Los Angeles premiere, a new trailer for the film has arrived.
In the trailer we get a glimpse at Zach Braff's Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor and family man who is at a crossroads in his life. Like Braff's debut, "Garden State," the film looks to be a tender, insightful look at a man with a bad case of arrested development.
Kate Hudson, Josh Gad, Mandy Patinkin, Joey King and Ashley Green costar.

Mike and I can disagree all day, during normal business hours, about the level of transparency we should demand from voucher schools. But in the NOLA case, the issue is "contentious" and might stall the $10 million proposal (although the city's Catholic schools will accept standardized testing--they're desperate).
It's entirely appropriate that the Louisiana Senate would require schools participating in a possible New Orleans voucher program to "administer state tests to voucher students." That's hardly out of line for other voucher programs. Milwaukee's requires schools to test all students (not just those in the program); D.C.'s requires all voucher recipients to participate in an annual evaluation--i.e., testing. (Though, regrettably, the D.C. results aren't broken out by school.)
These are public dollars. The more transparency, the better.
Worth keeping an eye on this, especially because "the Senate plan would require schools to administer state tests to voucher students."
The problem here elicited is a problem--at??least because it engenders a lot of boring writing--and I'm convinced that it's getting worse. (No, I don't have data to support that.) Today's k-12 system generally ignores writing and today's colleges demand lousy writing, so there you go.
John Hood, president of the John Locke Foundation, writes in National Review a solid, sweeping article about higher education. It's currently available only to subscribers (they, and hackers, may read it here). Some good parts:
No one disputes that a four-year degree is a ticket to lucrative professions requiring advanced academic training, such as medicine, law, or academia itself. But most undergraduates are not training for these professions, and, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, more and more college graduates go into jobs that do not require diplomas. George Leef, vice president for research of the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, notes that a quarter of travel agents and retail-sales supervisors, a third of flight attendants, and nearly half of aerobics instructors have bachelor's degrees. That's fine - if they wanted to study Goethe or geology for personal edification, and were willing to spend four years and a lot of money doing so. But it's pointless if the idea was to boost their careers.
Using 2000 data on test scores and coursework, education researchers Jay Greene of the University of Arkansas and Greg Forster of the Friedman Foundation estimated that the number of high-school students prepared to study college-level material was about 40,000 lower than the number of students enrolling in college. The predictable result of this trend is that only a minority of American colleges and universities are truly selective anymore, with gut courses and grade inflation rampant on many campuses.

Boys are being left behind, the Economist tells us.

The pressure high school students face to get into top colleges has intensified to the point that it's susceptible to some hilarious satirizing.

November 2, 2014 - I received soaps which are for Xmas presents, they look and smell beautiful....thank you!
October 12, 2014 - Gave the Green Tea & Lemongrass to my daughter for a gift and she not only love the soap but also that the gift did so much more.
June 2, 2014 - I got the Cinnamon/Orange & the Mint Rosemary and LOVE them both!
March 23, 2014 - I purchased Green Tea Lemon Grass & Mint Rosemary. They smell delicious! I was sniffing them soap bars non-stop! I had trouble putting them away! Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try these bars of soap. I purchased these bars of soap because I like the natural ingredients & they are "handmade by All Pure Nature, a women-owned business in Ghana..." I am done with doing business with greedy corporations. I am a non-retail, shop green, for the greater good, non-profit organization woman. I am really looking forward to trying these soap bars soon.
January 8, 2014 - I bought the cinnamon/orange as a gift for my nephew's significant other. She loves everything about it! I'll be ordering more for sure.

Anti-Lilly - A Million Stories
Artist: Anti-Lilly
Producer: LA Beatz
Album: Memoirs & The 90's
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 11 votes )
Ice Cube once rapped about a Good Day he lived back in the early 90s, a day when the Lakers beat the Supersonics and momma cooked breakfast with no hog. Unfortunately, Anti-Lilly did not have that day, but then we wouldn't have the gem that is his first DJBooth feature, A Million Stories. Produced by LA Beatz, A Million Stories is a mellow track with haunting synths where Anti tells us about the worst day in recorded history. During this day the City of Syrup emcee gets sent home from work, misses his exit, and sees James Harden get ejected from a ballgame. The day progressively gets worse as BK messes up his order and someone hits a lick on him, only to find himself locked out of his house. In essence, the day sucked and Anti-Lilly hates the world. Well, not really, but I'm glad he recorded the story; he has me intrigued to find out what happens next. Hopefully we'll get to hear it on his upcoming mixtape, Memoirs& The 90s, due out soon.

To bring together a group of remarkable people. So when we needed them, they could fight the battles that we never could."''-->-- '''Nick Fury''', ''Film/TheAvengers''A mish-mash team of superheroes, who don't really have anything in common except that they fight as a team. They probably don't share philosophies, world-views, moral codes, or origins; they may or may not even ''like'' each other very much (or at all). The only thing that matters is that the members show up when they're needed.A Super Team may all live in the same place (if they do, the audience can expect occasional friction from ''that''). There is often an overarching organization they've all been recruited by, or work for, to help explain why such different characters band together despite their differences.If the team does get all "I'll do anything for you man! You're like family to me," then they've become a BadassCrew, and probably have to come up some BadassCreed and the like. If they're actually related, they're a SuperFamilyTeam. If the team all has related powers and color-coded outfits, you're probably looking at a {{Sentai}}.Contrast LegionOfDoom and VillainTeamUp.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:AnimeAndManga]]* ''LightNovel/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey'', has the team gathered by [[TheLeader Kuro Usagi]] to aid her No Name country. they are Izayoi Sakamaki, a boy from a present timeline with the power to supercharge any movement he does to [[BeyondTheImpossible do things that are impossible]] . Asuka Kudou, a girl from a past timeline who has CompellingVoice, and You Kasukabe a girl from the future who's capable of PowerCopying animals' abilities.* ''VisualNovel/ElevenEyes'' has the six students who get trapped in the [[TheHiddenHour Red Night]], a monster infested DarkWorld version of their world. Once they found each other, they decided to band together to increase their chances of surviving the world every time they cross over to it,* ''Manga/FairyTail''. Pick any Mage Guild. Despite them being called "mages" they're just like a regular {{Super Hero}}es and everyone has a unique power.* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' has the Team Urameshi. consisting of a half demon, two demons, and a BadassNormal. they became a team due to certain circumstances involving the demon world being too much for one Spirit Detective to handle.* ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'' has team Hokage, and every other team in Ura Butou Satsujin. Who each have a unique [[NamedWeapon Madogou]] imbued with a unique power.* ''Manga/MakenKi'''s literal AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil is a team of Maken users (who were apparently voted into position just like a normal Student Council). "Maken" are AppliedPhlebotinum weapons each with a unique power.* ''Manga/{{NEEDLESS}}'' The other [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Needless]] gathered by [[PedophilePriest Adam]] [[TheHero Blade]] to fight the MegaCorp Simeon is this, same goes for Simeon's own QuirkyMinibossSquad. They got their powers from being survivors of [[MassSuperEmpoweringEvent Black Spots]].* ''Anime/StarDriver'''s [[GenericEvilOrganizationSquad Glittering Crux]] is this. While they're not exactly "empowered" at a glance. they each have a civilian SecretIdentity. and they are capable of piloting HumongousMecha from within a different dimension. Uncovering their plot is one of the main motivations for the main character.* The eponymous ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' are this. they are WitchSpecies girls gathered together and trained for their valuable magic prowess. they are the only ones effective enough to fight off the [[EldritchAbomination Neuroi]].* In ''Anime/SkyGirls''. little girls are the only ones capable of wearing the LatexSpaceSuit and MiniMecha ideal for fighting [[EldritchAbomination WORMs]] who recently reappeared. so they make a team of them and gave them the name [[TitleDrop Sky Girls]].* ''LightNovel/TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya'''s SOS-dan is this. TheTeam consist of a TeamNormal human, an alien, an Esper, and a Time Traveller, and a PhysicalGod. Though with the genre being SliceOfLife, most action happens within TheMasquerade and they're mostly a team of supers who [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything do nothing but have fun]].* In ''Anime/{{Beyblade}}'', The various World Tournaments held all had the participating teams who's [[KidWithTheLeash members]] each own a [[{{Mons}} Bit Beast]]. Yes, this does mean they are all capable of weaponizing their BattleTops to the point they can scream commands at their tops so they will spin faster and ''create blackholes or encase the stadium with ice''. Which is why they're the ones in the tournament since the ones with ordinary BattleTops simply don't stand a chance.* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': NERV tries to form one consisting of [[ChildSoldiers children]] made to pilot the EVAs and combat Angels to protect whats left of humanity, but [[SubvertedTrope The group quickly falls apart]] due to [[DysfunctionJunction the psychological issues of themselves and the people they work for]], as well as [[TheChessMaster Gendo Ikari's]] hidden agenda.* ''Manga/DragonBall'': Goku and his friends are this (especially during DragonBallZ), since they fight together to protect the Earth from powerful threats ranging from wicked demons and killer androids to world-destroying aliens and gods.[[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* DCComics' JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, which not only popularized the idea but over its various incarnations has not only featured pretty much every single major character DCComics has. Also they made a few {{Series}} based on it ranging from the [[JusticeLeagueUnlimited awesome]] to the [[SuperFriends not so awesome]].* The first SuperTeam was the JusticeSocietyOfAmerica and the [[SevenSoldiers Seven Soldiers of Victory]], both created in the [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks 1940s]].* The latest incarnation of the Seven Soldiers stretches the very idea of a super team to its limits; In order to keep the new Soldiers from being killed by the Sheeda like the previous team, they have to be sure that ''none of them ever meet each other''. Seven people who don't know one another even exist have to accidentally work together to save the world from a threat they aren't aware of. * The Creator/MarvelComics' initial answer to The JusticeLeague was The Comicbook/{{Fantastic Four}}, a [[MeaningfulName quartet]] (sometimes) of {{Super Hero}}es that had more in common with a ScienceFiction dysfunctional family then with a crime fighting organization. * [[MarvelUniverse Marvel]] also has Comicbook/TheAvengers (in some continuities called TheUltimates) a collection of that universe's best and brightest [[SuperHero Super Heroes]], much closer in style and set up to the JusticeLeague. * The Comicbook/{{X-Men}} is probably [[MarvelUniverse Marvel]]'s most popular team, which several {{Series}} based on it, and a few [[Film/{{X-Men}} movies]] too. There are a gazillion [[WestCoastTeam spin off teams]] of The Comicbook/{{X-Men}} including the NewMutants, [[XFactor X-Factor, X-Factor Investigations]], various incarnations of [[{{X-Force}} X-Force and X-Statix]].* DCComics also has the Comicbook/TeenTitans, a collection of {{Sidekick}}s and other teenage superheroes.* ComicBook/TheAuthority [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] the idea of the SuperTeam by featuring a team that doesn't have those pesky [[MoralDissonance Moral Codes]] against [[ThouShaltNotKill killing]] or such. Also one of the earlier examples of {{Decompressed Comic}}s in America.* Deconstructed twice in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.** In "Under the Hood" (a book-within-a-book written by the first Nite Owl chronicling his time as a superhero) Nite Owl said that "it takes an extreme personality to put on a costume and fight crime and the chance of eight such personalities getting along is a million to one." Then, of course, there's the fact that after the Comedian tried to rape the first Silk Spectre, the Minutemen began to distrust each other and subsequently collapsed.** Later when Captain Metropolis (a member of the last super team, "The Minutemen") tries to form another Super Team, "The Crimebusters", the Comedian denounces the whole idea as bullshit, claiming Captain Metropolis is trying to play "Cowboys and Indians". He further explains that [[ShootTheShaggyDog whatever heroic deeds they accomplish will be undone by]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt an impending nuclear war]]. Rorschach agrees, complaining that "a group this size seems more like a publicity exercise,", adding that "it's too big and unwieldy." The first meeting of the group is the last because of this.* ''TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' is a SuperTeam with a twist - it features {{public domain character}}s from Victorian literature teaming up to battle other threats from other public domain works (and one villain who ''wasn't'' in the public domain yet, forcing the writers to be careful with what they called him).* DCComics also has: ** The ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol'', who during Creator/GrantMorrison's run fought some of the most surreal villains ever, including The Brotherhood of Dada, who used an LSD-powered bicycle to run for president. ** The ''Comicbook/SuicideSquad'', a group of {{super villain}}s who are given an offer of a pardon if they complete ridiculously dangerous (one might say suicidal) tasks. ** And ''many'' others. There are at least 100 listed at the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DC_Comics_teams_and_organizations other Wiki]].* [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]] also has many many other teams, including but not limited to:** ComicBook/TheDefenders, a team usually featuring several of Marvel's most popular or least (depending on the incarnation) examples of MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold, banded together to save the world from [[EldritchAbomination powerful]] and often [[OurMonstersAreWeird strange]] threats. ** The Marvel Knights, a SuperTeam led by Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} that has shown up in [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel's]] [[DarkerAndEdgier mature]] line as well as their [[UltimateUniverse Ultimate]] line. ** Comicbook/{{Thunderbolts}}, a SuperTeam created by Comicbook/TheAvengers villains, Masters of Evil but ultimately thanks to the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor they started to do good. Various incarnations of the team have come about all featuring former or current villains.** A full list can be found at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Comics_teams_and_organizations the other Wiki]] beware, it's ridiculously complete. * ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' has Agency Zero, formerly the Wonder Friends, a super team of heroes who decided they were tired of villains showing up to [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs try and trash their base]] or concoct schemes just to target the heroes, and decided to go under cover to prevent that. Now they're still a team of "superheroes" that does the job as usual -- they just [[TheMenInBlack don't tell villains they exist and do the job in black suits]].* The Invincible Universe has several, [[PunchClockHero Punch Clock Heroes]] Capes Inc, the The Guardians of the Globe (two versions thereof) and the Teen Team (disbanded when most of it's members got too old)* The Seven in Creator/GarthEnnis' ''Comicbook/TheBoys''. They are a super team who aren't together to fight greater foes or even because they LIKE each other. They're together purely because they make more money of merchandising that way. In fact none of them can stand each other. * ''Comicbook/KickAss2'' sees Dave joining a group of like-minded superheroes called Justice Forever.* The somewhat obscure ''Cla$$War'' by Trevor Hairsine and Travel Foreman features Enola Gay, yet another JusticeLeague pastiche.* Another DC team, the ''Inferior Five'' poked fun at the concept of a team consisting of people who save the world by themselves pretty much every other day of the week. The ''Five'' were all so weak that they wouldn't be able to do anything if they ''didn't'' work together.* PrideHigh has:** Poseidon Preparatory Academy's Inter-Squad Championship teams (Pride High, the Argonauts, Maka Koa, Teh H4xx0rz, the Vixxens, Five Fold Path, Umoja, La Raza, Feral Force, and the Masterminds)** The World Warriors, who can be assumed to be the universe's Justice League/Avengers** The Champions of Atlantis** [[http://www.luckylegendary.com/ The Legends]]* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', we have the Pantheon, a group of A-listers named Portia, Paradigm, Pronto, Phylum and Plymouth.[[/folder]][[folder:Toys]]* The Toa in {{Bionicle}} are Mata Nui's heroes, sent to protect Matoran.[[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* The ''{{Smallville}}'' version of the JusticeLeague.[[/folder]][[folder:Professional Wrestling]]* Super Eric, [[Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels Curry Man]] and Stone Cold Shark Boy, Wrestling/{{TNA}}'s Prince Justice Brotherhood, embody that particular bit about having little in common.[[/folder]][[folder:VideoGames]]* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has each of the playable schools' representative characters be either a BadassNormal or someone who can use a {{Ki Attack|s}}. they are {{Cast Herd}}ed as teams.* In ''VideoGame/GodEaterBurst'', The God Eaters are {{Super Soldier}}s imbued with [[HordeOfalienLocusts Aragami]] cells that allows them to fight the creatures, grouped into teams consisting of the five-member First Unit (which is also your main characters' team), a three member City Defense unit and a three member Support unit.* ''VideoGame/FreedomForce''[[/folder]][[folder:Web Comics]]* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', it turns out Dr McNinja was in one of these back in college. They broke up when the resident Incredible Hulk CaptainErsatz sold out their secret identities, resulting in their leader being killed.* As with so many other tropes, ''PerryBibleFellowship'' has [[http://www.pbfcomics.com/136/ its own unique spin]] on this concept.* "Homeland Insecurity" i.e. ''{{Heist}}'' #1 introduces Pax Americana, a loose JusticeLeague/[[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]] expy. In [[http://www.brendanmcginley.com/heist/2-broken-bonds/ the second issue]], they come into conflict with the VillainProtagonist Geist.* Many chapters of ''Webcomic/{{Accidentals}}'' abound with teams. The first government sanctioned team was formed by [[ThoseWackyNazis the Nazis]] during WWII. British and American government sponsored teams were formed as a response.[[/folder]][[folder:Web Originals]]* Team Kimba, of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. They're only teenagers at SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy, but they've already beaten superpowered ninjas from the Yama Dojo, the Necromancer and his team The Children of the Night, and Lovecraftian horrors. Plus, they're not supposed to be superheroing, so they keep getting detention for this stuff.** Most of the students at Whateley are on training teams or are in groups that can put up some sort of superfight in a pinch, the chief exception being the Underdogs.* The ''LeagueOfIntergalacticCosmicChampions'' was a group of [[SuperHero super heroes]] (more or less) crossed with ''Franchise/StarTrek'' zipping around the universe in a CoolShip fighting evil.* Most of the campaigns in the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' were based around a SuperTeam of one sort or another. Notable exceptions were the ''Big Easy'' campaign and the aptly titled ''Solo'' campaign, both of which were about a single hero, and the ''Hyperion Academy'' and ''Venture Institute'' campaigns, both of which were about [[SuperheroSchool schools for superhumans]]. * Many, some lasting longer than others, in MarvelsRPG, including the Ultimates, the Avengers, Generation X, the Crusaders, the Guardsmen, even if some are starting to become BadAssCrew or TrueCompanions.* ASH from ''TheAcademyOfSuperHeroes'' is the big-league super team of that universe. STRAFE is more of a superpowered covert ops team.* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has several, mostly government-sponsored. The Triumvirate consists of the three most powerful superhumans in the world.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* The Justice Force from ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' (2003).* The Teen Team from ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'', of which Jenny was temporarily a member.

In universe, the reason for this is that they're a covert ops group, and there's no need to bring extra attention to themselves.* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is a MultinationalTeam consisting of a [[PlayingWithFire Japanese]] [[TheChick chick]], a [[BlowYouAway Brazilian]] SurferDude, An [[DishingOutDirt All American Cowboy]], a [[MakingASplash Chinese Apprentice Monk]]... and a size-shifting Eastern [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]].

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Live... in the 'Peg! U2, Prince and another memorable year for concert fans
IT was another banner year for Winnipeg concert-goers, as local stages hosted some of the biggest and most popular artists in the world.
And we had the privilege of seeing many smaller, hard-working bands who might go on to become arena-worthy in the years to come.
Our local music scene continues to thrive and be one of the most vibrant and exciting in the country with every genre imaginable represented, from jazz to death metal to hip-hop to roots and everything in between. Manitoba acts released more than 150 albums in 2011, according to Manitoba Music.
A new jazz club — Juss Jazz — opened downtown in 2011, there were numerous clubs that were rebranded and with the Winnipeg Jets back in town there are plans in the works for more pubs and restaurants that will provide us with even more entertainment options, and hopefully, more places for musicians to perform. On a sad note, the city lost a valuable music venue when the Royal Albert closed down following a basement flood in May. The bar remains closed, but its owner has vowed to reopen it again.
As usual, there were so many shows in town that it was impossible to see everything, so consider this list a highly subjective and selective chronological look at some of the best/most memorable gigs I've seen in the city this year, along with a few highlights from other Free Press reviewers.
Motörhead, Feb. 12, Burton Cummings Theatre
Making their first visit to Winnipeg since 2005, the long-serving bastions of distortion — fronted by the 65-year-old heavy drinkin', chain-smokin' Lemmy Kilmister — cranked a set of extremely loud, abrasive RNR filled with nasty characters from the wrong side of the tracks for a raucous, alcohol-infused, sold-out crowd.
When it comes to power trios, Motörhead is one of the most powerful.
Residents, March 24, West End Cultural Centre
Making their first ever visit to the city in their 40-year career, the mysterious costume-wearing trio brought to town its Talking Light Tour, mesmerizing a soldout seated crowd with ghost stories and an epic score that was part horror-movie soundtrack, part electronic noise fest and part avant-garde rock show on a stage decorated to look like a living room Vincent Price would feel right at home in.
John Mellencamp, April 25, Centennial Concert Hall
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp and his six-piece band divided their time between newer material and older favourites that received slight to radical makeovers, making it different from every other show he's played in the city. The chance to hear overhauled or stripped-down versions was appealingly fresh, and seeing it at the intimate, great sounding confines of the Centennial Concert Hall was even better.
U2, May 29, Canad Inns Stadium
I was in Las Vegas at a music festival reliving some punk-rock nostalgia and seeing my favourite Irish band (Stiff Little Fingers) but according to reviewer Melissa Martin (and everyone else I know who witnessed this show), U2 delivered a multimedia spectacle on the world's largest stage that laid to waste to any doubts that the Dublin group is the biggest, best band on the planet with a set of greatest hits and new material that was the show of the year for many. The 360 Tour was the highest grossing roadshow of the year in North America, grossing $156 million, according to concert industry trade magazine Pollstar.
Rihanna, June 18, MTS Centre
Rihanna's appearance was part of her Loud Tour, but there were plenty of adjectives she could have used to describe her show, including sexy, daring, glamorous, high-tech and dirty. The 23-year-old Barbadian beauty put on an over-the-top two-hour event filled with almost every concert trick in the book that ranks as one of the biggest arena spectacles since Cher was last here in 2005. It was also the most sexually explicit show of the year, but any parents in the crowd shocked by some of her stunts clearly haven't been paying attention to her lyrics or videos.
Black Keys, July 2, MTS Centre
Drummer Patrick Carney and singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach showed how a duo can fill up an arena: by cranking it up. The acclaimed two-piece (joined at times by a bassist and keyboardist) serve up a platter of howlin' blues, gritty garage rock and straight-up rock 'n' roll filled with grimy guitars and sprays of sweat, according to Martin.
Kenny Chesney, July 13, MTS Centre
A loud, sold-out crowd went so wild during country superstar Kenny Chesney's first visit to Winnipeg, they almost drowned out the music, Martin said. Chesney's high-tech Goin' Coastal tour came in at No. 3 on Pollstar's highest grossing tour list, with $85 million in ticket sales.
Katy Perry, July 14, MTS Centre
It was hard not to have a good time at this one as California cutie Katy Perry upped her status from pop tart to delicious cupcake on her California Dreams tour built around a Katy Goes to Wonderland storyline and a stage full of cupcakes, lollipops, peppermint swirls and video screens. There were numerous costume changes and each song had its own theme or gimmick. Opener Janelle Monae was almost as impressive with a celebratory set of funky Motowninspired R&B and dance-noir.
Rancid, August 25, MTS Centre
Bay Area-quartet Rancid was the meat of the three-band sandwich (with Blink-182 and Against Me!) and the highlight of the bill with a frenzied barrage of Clash-inspired anthems, ska and street punk covering the band's entire career dating back to its 1993 debut.
Mudhoney/Pearl Jam, Sept. 17, MTS Centre
Seattle rock veterans Pearl Jam didn't stick to any script on their first visit to the city since 2005, playing hits, album tracks, rarities and covers during an exciting 27-song, 2½hour set filled with standout moments, including frontman Eddie Vedder's willingness to share his wine with some members of the audience. Openers Mudhoney were making their first ever appearance in the city and got old-school grunge fans out of their seats with anthems like Touch Me I'm Sick and In 'N' Out of Grace.
Nomeansno, Oct. 15, West End Cultural Centre
The veteran Vancouver trio is one of Canada's greatest bands of all time and once again proved why with a perfect setlist featuring an equal mix of new material and classics drawing from punk, '80s hardcore, thrash and jazz.
Elliott Brood, Oct. 29, West End Cultural Centre
Toronto alt-country group Elliott Brood were mesmerizing and charming as they offered up anthemic roots rock, dark dirges, melodic speedgrass and tender ballads. The show, on the Saturday before Halloween, featured a large number of costumed audience members, including a giant pink Energizer bunny who hopped on stage to play his drum and sing along.
Tune-Yards, Nov. 14, West End Cultural Centre
The much-hyped project of Montreal singer-songwriter Merrill Garbus lived up to its buzz with a goosebumpinducing performance that was intense, lovely and moving, according to Free Press copy editor Jill Wilson. Using loop pedals, two mikes, a snare drum, a ukulele and her strange, powerful voice, Garbus (along with bassist Nate Brenner and two saxophonists) wove a strange spell around her rapt audience. Oh, and there was dancing, too.
Prince, Dec. 8, MTS Centre
Music's royal purpleness got everyone delirious with a flashy, crowd-pleasing, booty shaking 2½-half hour set of funk, R&B, pop, rock and disco spanning the past 30 years of his career, focusing mostly on the first half, along with a tribute to Sly & the Family Stone on an in-the-round stage shaped like the unpronounceable symbol he once used as his name.
