Meteor is crashing with jQuery

I am having an issue with Meteor and Jquery. I have add in both underscore.js and jquery yet I still get the follow error when I try and run the code. The server fails before it ever starts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a copy of the output window. I know I am missing something really simple. I can get other meteor apps to run. 

=> Meteor server running on: localhost:3000/

.meteor\local\build\server\server.js:34
5
  }).run();
     ^

To iterate through arrays on the server, you should use underscore's ._each method. It comes with Meteor so there are no packages to install or anything like that.

So, instead of:

$.each(someArray, function (index, element) {
   //Some awesome logic
})

You can do:

_.each(someArray, function (element, index, list) {
    //Some awesome logic.
});

jQuery is only available on the client - not the server [1]. So, because it has a dependency on jQuery, your file will only work on the client. You should put it in the client directory:

app/client/lib/jquery-ui.custom.min.js
