Product Description
"Jambo!" is the friendly greeting Swahili traders offered their customers in Central Africa before colonization. The players are traders in this day, competing to be the first to earn 60 gold by selling tea, hide, fruits, salt, silk, and trinkets. The game is played with cards which represent goods, people (which can help you or hinder your opponent), and animals (which add a bit of spice to the game). Players take turns with up to 5 actions per turn until one player reaches the goal and wins the game.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.6 in 8 reviews
I bought this game several years back, but somehow it never made it to the gaming table until recently. I wish I had known the JUMBO amount of fun I was missing in the meantime. My wife and I have played JAMBO 2-3 times a night for the last few weeks. It is pleasantly addicting.
Though some see the game controlled by luck of the draw, there is still enough strategy and thought required to make this game super appealing. Timing of the use of the utility cards, when to play an animal card, always saving a guard as protection from attack, etc. make for some strategic decisions along the way. After playing several times, I have noticed, too, that it is not always good to buy and sell on the same turn; setting up your selling of wares for a future turn (if you have enough market spaces) can make for a windfall on one turn and keep your opponent from having enough wares available in the store for their use. In short, there is a lot of depth to this game after you get used to playing it.
I highly recommend this as one of the Kosmos series' best. Buy it -- play it immediately! JAMBO IS A JUMBO!!!!!
Jambo is a definite keeper. Simple to learn, quick to play and good strategy with re-playability make this a winner! My wife likes games, but if the rules are complex or strategy is to deep, I might get ONE play of a game with her (which she usually wins, thus I rarely have the opportunity for revenge).
Jambo is one that SHE REQUESTS, and we have played it many times (averaging about once a week since I received it for Christmas). Game play is simple, your strategy changes according to what comes up, and it has a lot of re-playability. The complaint about the large stands being too small should be ignored - they are fine as is. If you have rules questions, go to BGG. You WILL find answers.
Other games my wife likes to play: Ticket to Ride, Cafe International, Clock Towers, and Odin's Ravens. For those of you who want to play games with your wife but can't find one she likes, try these - while they might not be Puerto Rico or Tigris-Euphrates, getting to play any of these is still very satisfying, and you get to play games! :-)
The Kosmos 2-player line has reached near legendary status. So many of the games in that line have proved to be winners that people just expect great games from it. But Jambo has even more going for it in my book, with an African theme, and rich, lush illustrations. Jambo also happens to be designed by one of my favorites, Rudiger Dorn, designer of Traders of Genoa, Goa, and Emerald. I've heard some people make the claim that Jambo provides a CCG- like experience, a claim that I can not dispute or confirm, not being a fan of CCGs myself, so allow me to review Jambo as I would any other "German" game…
Okay, I know I said that graphics are good, but did I mention just how good? One look at the box will have you interested: Africans walking thru a village, lush jungle in the distance, the sun setting like a ball of liquid fire – and the cards keep a good thing going: rich earthy browns, dark verdant greens, and bursts of tropical color. The graphics are just exquisite. The bulk of the contents is a heckuva lot of cards, but also included are 6 goods markers for each of the 6 goods types, 5 action markers, and a handful of gold tokens in denominations of 1 and 5.
Gameplay is very simple in general, but the multitude of text in the game mean the first time through, players will spend a lot of time reading. Still, as I said, gameplay in general is very simple. Players are first dealt 5 cards each, and are given their own large market (big enough to hold 6 goods) stand to have on the table in front of them. Players gets 5 actions per turn. First off, a player must decide if they want to draw a card into their hand. Cards are not that easy to get, and very useful, so most of the time, players will indeed start by drawing a card. If he likes the card, the player can keep it, and that uses one of his actions. If he does not like it, he can discard it and draw a new one, but this costs an additional action. A player can repeat the process as many times as he has action tokens.
Once a player has drawn a card and kept it, or chosen to skip the card-draw altogether, he gets to use the remaining actions to play cards, which come in several types:
Animal cards and People cards are one- time special action cards. The only difference between the two types is that Animal cards can be defended against if a player holds a Guard card, while People cards happen whether the other player likes it or not. It costs one action to use a card: simply read the text on the card and carry out the action. Cards include, Parrots, Dancers, Hyenas, Alligators, Guards, Portuguese traders, and more. Abilities include: protecting against animal attacks, destroying special items, stealing a good from the other player, etc. There are a wide variety of actions these cards provide and obviously using them wisely is a timing issue.
Special item cards are extended use cards. It costs one action to put them on the table in front of you, and one action to use it. The nice feature of these cards is that they stay in front of the player until he decides to get rid of it, or his opponent destroys it or steals it for himself. Players may have up to 3 special items in their play area at one time, and since these provide ongoing abilities, these are key to being able to do any amount of planning. Items include boats, thrones, drums, weigh-scales, and more. Abilities include being able to discard cards from your hand to draw new ones, being able to purchase a single good for 2 gold, etc. Again, these cards are key because they allow a player to employ short-term strategy.
Small market cards are permanent cards that act exactly like large market cards except that they only hold 3 items (instead of the 6). It takes one action to build a small market, and it also costs gold to build. The first player to build a small market must pay 6 gold, after that any additional markets cost 3 gold each. Small markets are a strategy. A player may want the increased flexibility that more market spaces provide, or they may be content to run a tighter hand management game and stick with only have the 6 spaces in their large market. Games can be won without extra small markets, but having more market space makes buying and selling a lot easier!
Ware cards. And these are the driving force of the game. Like every other card, a ware card costs one action to play. On the ware cards their will either be 3 goods or 6. A ware card with 6 goods has one of each good on it, while ware cards with 3 goods could have 3 of the same ware, 2 of one ware and 1 of another, or 3 different ware. What all ware cards have in common is a "buy" price in the bottom-left corner of the card, and a "sell" price on the bottom- right corner of the card. By playing this card, players can either pay the lower "buy" price to take the wares and place them on their market spaces, or they may (if they have the appropriate wares) discard the wares on the card from their market to obtain the higher "sell" price. Since the object of the game is to accumulate 60 gold, judicious use of these cards both by type and by timing is crucial to doing well.
Once players get the hang of the text on the cards, the game becomes quite interesting. There are such a wide variety of actions available from all the cards, and players must do the best they can with the cards they get. This generally means that players must have a flexible short term strategy in order to win. (after all, you can't use a small market strategy to win if you can't find a small market!) This is one feature of the game I really enjoy: the game almost forces you to try new things every time you play it. True, players do have the option of rejecting cards at the beginning of their turn, but this uses up valuable action that players could be using to exercise their cards, so at least some flexibility is a must.
Variety, flexibility -- those are the great parts of the game (oh, and the graphics – I did mention how good the graphics are, right?) But the game does have a bit of a dark side…I mean, uh, luck side. You see, the ware cards are the heart of the game; the majority of your income comes from careful management of your ware cards. But of course it's much easier to manage your cards if you keep drawing complimentary cards. If I draw a ware card with 3 fruit wares on it, and I already hold a card in my hand with the 3 fruit wares on it, then I can use one card to buy 3 fruit, and with my next action to use the other card to sell those 3 same fruit. Net gain, 7 gold. But pity the poor fool who draws a card with 3 fruit, and hold cards with 3 cloth and 3 furs respectively. It's not that the second player won't be able to do anything with his cards, just that he'll have a harder time making a profit. Now that I've said that, I should point out that there are a wide variety of ware cards in the game, so it is rare that players will get the same ware cards twice, but again, complimentary cards (say, a card with 3 fruit, and a card with 2 fruit and 1 fur) are a lot better to hold then opposing cards (say, a card with 3 cloth, and a card with 1 fruit and 1 fur and 1 sugar.)
Luck can also come in the form of luck of the draw. A player may be have a strategy and shape his hand towards getting something done, only to have it torn apart by his opponent's animal cards. True, gaurds can prevent that, but I've had playings where I drew only one guard then entire game, so how can I defend against animals? And luck can also come in the form of timing. Let's say in the last two turns I built my hand up to 7 cards. When my opponent takes his turn, if he can find the card that reduces my hand to 3 cards, good for him, if he can't, good for me. And imagine if he does fund that "reduction" card, but I never have more than 3 or 4 cards in my hand the whole game! Pity the fool who has bad luck in the card draw.
But like most games, the luck in Jambo tends to even out. And when it does, you are left with an interesting game of hand management and ware management. After my first few playings, I found Jambo to be fairly chaotic, and only a good game. But with more plays under my belt, I've seen the ability to string together clever card combinations, and to make almost any draw of cards work in your favor, and this has given me new appreciation for this game. True, some playings may come down to turly horrible luck, but most of the time, games will even out. And, honestly, the process of trying to make money by clever card use is interesting and fun, and most of the time, I view bad luck as a chance to see to how well I can use what cards I do have to overcome a bad turn. With a well-implemented theme, and gorgeous graphics, Jambo is another smash hit in the Kosmos 2-player line.
I (a hard-core gamer) really like this game, but it is my wife's favorite for a two player game. Therefore, this is our most played game...and I'm not complaining. It takes a few times through a game to really find your stride, but a game that is more fun every time you play it is a real treat.
It is the clever use of the cards with special powers that rewards good strategy, but the random draw of these cards levels the playing field. Sometimes the game feels a bit too short, but usually it is just right, and pulling out a last turn hail Mary happens often enough to keep both players in the game until the very last card is played.
Kosmos does it again!
Jambo is great 2 player game. Players buy and sell wares in an African setting. The object is to have the most money at the end of the game. When one player reaches 60 gold, the other player gets one more turn. The tie breaker is in favor of the player taking the last turn.
What is so great about this game?
Game swings back and forth
Card combinations are possible
Plays in about 1 hour
Simple mechanics
If you're looking for a 2 player game that's not too light and not too heavy, Jambo is for you.
I was given this game for Christmas by my girlfriend who knows I am a huge fan of the Kosmos 2 player game line. So far, I have Jambo, Odin's Ravens, Heave Ho! and Hera and Zeus. I have liked all the games so far, and this is true of Jambo as well.
Jambo definitely has enough to stand apart though. For one, the people, animal and utility cards (which can be changed out as the game progresses) give this game a nice strategic element. Yes, you have to hope you draw good cards, but plans can be made with what you get quite easily. It is also nice that you're plans can be spoiled quite easily.
I also like that the rules are basic and learned fairly fast. Much of the game play specifics comes from the cards (a little like Magic). My only real complaint is that the main market stands could have at least been made the size of the box. They are too small. I understand why the small market stands have to be the smaller size, but this is a little bit of hindrance during game play. Besides that, I love this game after just two plays.
Just purchased this game. Quick, easy, and fun. My wife and I have thus far enjoyed each match. By way of background, we've also enjoy Puerto Rico, Agricola, Citadels, Lost Cities, and others. My son, age 11, has also played Jambo. In conclusion, this is a solid 2-player game for any collection. There's enough strategy and skill for experienced players, but not too complex so it could be a good intro game to newbie euro-gamers. Be advised: there is luck as cards are drawn, but, to me, this only emphasizes the importance of using what you have to the fullest. Enjoy!

Comments about K Bell Moo Toes:
For my first pair of toe socks, I had to pick these. They're "udderly" adorable! The spots on both sides are actually non-slip sections, which help to make these great bed/wear-around-the-house socks. The only issue that I found was that the toes were slightly too long for me, but they're still super cute!

Comments about K Bell Moo Toes:
I bought these because I adore all things socks...but I couldn't help but have the same issue as someone else. It doesn't matter which foot the sock is on, nor if you wash it, it bunches a bit along the toes, almost as if it's two bottom sides sewn together. It makes them uncomfortable to wear with shoes.

I received these with the rest of my order today. I'm a little disappointed because they sit funny on the top of your foot when you're wearing them (yes I tried hem on both feet and back the other way just incase they were specifically for left and right). But, doesn't stop me from having udder toes (which is hilarious)!

|Neumans' Niche
A Ministry of the Jerry Neuman Family
Greetings in the New Year -- 2010
We would like to wish all of you a 2010 filled with the blessing of knowing your lives are in God's hands and that He will provide for all your needs. Despite what may be happening in the world around us, God is still on the throne and causing everything that comes into our lives to work towards our transformation into the image of His dear Son. Praise His Holy Name!!
Our hearts are grateful as we look back on 2009 and see the many different ones of you that He used to provide our needs, despite the shortfall of support we have faced for a number of years. At just the right time, He has moved some of you to give in order to provide for car repairs, an unexpected trip to the US for Luke's wedding, moving costs, and daily needs. How we praise His name!
As we look back to what God has accomplished through us in this year, we are awed and humbled that He would use us to carry out His plans, even beyond the borders of Brazil. Through MMM we have helped reach outside Brazil's borders by being involved in sending a Brazilian couple to Portugal and a second family to Cape Verde, surveying the field of British Guiana with hopes to send a family there this next year, and helping MMM's dentist family visit Gambia to talk through how they will partner with the ABWE team there. The second half of this year Jerry has had the privilege of mentoring a student who is starting a new church. God has allowed us to touch individual lives by helping them grow in their walk with Him through discipleship, counseling and teaching at the Bible school in the area of Proverbs, Angelology, Introduction to Missions, Ethics and Hebrew.
We have been encouraged to see growth in our own lives this year. We all have learned more about having patience to wait for God to show us what step to take next. We have learned about how to allow the Spirit's control of our reactions in difficult situations. We have seen how we can trust God to surprise us with His loving care as He did with Luke and Danielle's wedding and providing for us to be there for it.
God helped us through two very difficult transitions: one was leaving the church work where we had been involved for the last four years and secondly, downsizing from a house to an apartment. Each was grueling over several months time, draining and discouraging at moments, but in the end, we rejoice again in how God cares for us and places us just where He wants us at the right time. We are enjoying our new apartment, despite the summer heat right now. We are grateful for the warm welcome and good teaching we have received back at the mother church and look forward to possibilities of service in this new year.
We now look toward 2010 with anticipation as to what God is going to do. That helps to calm our fears of the unknown and uncertainties. We are working on plans to come home on a short furlough. Jerry is rewriting his thesis and hopes to have it approved in time for graduation in June. We need to report to churches we have not seen since 2005. We need to raise funds to get our account healthy enough to cover the increased need in housing, ministry funds, and home office contributions. We must decide if Lydia can stay behind here to continue her studies and find a companion to live with her.
We look forward to seeing many of you and thanking you personally for your part in keeping us here doing the ministry these past years. It will be our joy to share with you all God has done and is doing as you allow us to extend your ministry here in Northeast Brazil and even beyond her borders. Please get in contact with us right away if you would like us to give a report at your church or to your family while we are home. Be sure to note our new contact information below.

a1 Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60201, USA
Let f be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of2 which is fixed point free. The Brouwer 'plane translation theorem' asserts that every x0 2 is contained in a domain of translation for f i.e. an open connected subset of 2 whose boundary is L f(L) where L is the image of a proper embedding of in 2, such that L separates f(L) and f−1(L). In addition to a short new proof of this result we show that there exists a smooth Morse function g: 2 → such that g(f(x)) < g(x) for all x and the level set of g containing x0 is connected and non-compact (and hence the image of a properly embedded line).

TC Electronic offers several different versions of its radar loudness meter. For example, LM6 is available for System 6000 MKII, DB4 MKII, DB8 MKII, TM7 and TM9 hardware units; LM2 is a stereo version bundled with the LM2 hardware unit. LM5D is a TDM plug-in for Pro Tools HD, and recently, TC launched LM6 as a VST, AU, RTAS and AAX Native plug-in.
The various versions of TC's radar loudness meter originate from the same basic algorithm, and they are designed for the same purpose — delivering a loudness overview of any audible source. To ensure seamless transition between these platforms, TC now introduces its xApp technology that allows these versions to be 100 percent consistent with regard to core features across all available versions.
In other words, the radar loudness meter will display the same descriptor numbers for loudness range and program loudness when identical program material is being measured by either one of the LM6 plug-in formats or the versions that run on TC hardware.
Finally, version updates – for example, in connection with updates of significant international broadcast standards such as ITU BS.1770-2, ATSC A/85 and EBU R128 – will be streamlined across all radar loudness meter-compatible platforms. Users of TC's radar loudness meter will always be among the first to comply with the newest versions of these important broadcast standards, no matter which platform they have decided to use.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Retired NFL star Ray Lewis will serve as honorary starter for the Daytona 500.
Lewis will wave the green flag to start Sunday's "Great American Race."
Lewis ended his 17-year NFL career in perfect fashion this month, directing a successful goal-line stand that provided him a second Super Bowl title. A 13-time Pro Bowl linebacker with the Baltimore Ravens, Lewis announced his retirement Jan. 2.
Lewis won't be the only celebrity on hand for Sunday's race. Rappers T.I. and 50 Cent will attend NASCAR's season opener, which has Danica Patrick starting on the pole.
Oscar-nominated actor James Franco will serve as grand marshal and give the command to "start your engines." The Zac Brown Band will perform a pre-race concert in the Daytona International Speedway infield.

November 4th, 2013 - 5:37am
(Port Angeles) Just 27 percent of the vote has come in by the end of last week for Clallam County's general election tomorrow.
County auditor Patty Rosand says her office has received about 12,600 of the more than 46-thousand ballots sent to voters for tomorrow's general election.
The turnout is well off the predicted 50 percent turnout election's officials had predicted statewide. It's on off-year election, which means no partisan offices are on the ballot for Clallam voters this time.
Ballots must be postmarked or back to an official drop box by tomorrow to be valid.

For more than twenty-five years now, Iced Earth has represented both the undying spirit of heavy metal and its penchant for rhythmic technical flair. So it is that the metal world pauses for at least a brief moment to bear witness to the birth of a new Iced Earth record, this time called "Plagues of Babylon."
Iced Earth, over the course of the band's roughly twenty-five year sojourn, has become the working epithet for guitarist and songwriter Jon Schaffer. As the band begins to solidify their lineup and re-ignites their fanbase with last year's "Dystopia," Iced Earth seems rejuvenated and ready to continue their march as the vanguard of speed metal's underground. Jon sat down to talk about his band then and now, his side projects, and what it took to get here.

What's Inside Those $15,000 Wine Cases?
Some auction houses in Hong Kong have adopted a policy of opening wine cases – and discovered some nasty surprises.
It used to be that premium wine cases were kept sealed, says Gregory De'eb, general manager for Crown Wine Cellars. OWCs, or "original wooden cases," he says, resell for prices 20% to 30% higher than wines that are repackaged. For that reason, most prudent wine investors leave their cases untouched. In fact, many cases never leave the original winery.
That's changing, especially in Hong Kong. To comply with a policy many auction houses here have, a case is opened before it is sold, to verify its contents. With the frothy fine-wine market these days, that means a lot of heretofore sealed cases from the 18th and 19th century are now seeing the light of day. And sometimes the contents aren't, well, as advertised.
"It's no surprise that whoever was packaging these wines in an old chateau in France," a century ago, says Mr. De'eb, "may have taken the occasional bottle home or grabbed a wrong bottle off the shelf." Or, he adds, they miscounted and forgot a bottle or two. A case is supposed to hold 12 bottles of the same kind.
Sotheby's head of wines for Asia, Robert Sleigh, says he has witnessed some instances of human error in labeling or packaging when cases were finally opened. Even so, "these mistakes are rare," says Mr. Sleigh.
But at Crown Wine Cellars, Mr. De'eb says his team discovers a "faulty" case or two – opened when clients want to survey the contents, drink the wine or resell it – in 3% to 5% of every shipment. (Mr. De'eb deemed the situation so extreme, in fact, that he installed cameras to make sure – and prove to clients — that Crown staff members weren't to blame.)
Crown clients who were owners of the faulty cases are now working with merchants and vineyards to get reimbursed. "The process is long," says Mr. De'eb, "and the success rate depends on a case-by-case basis."
With the kind of money many investors are paying for premium wines these days — a case of Chateau Lafite Rothschild can sell for tens of thousands of dollars – "case fraud" can pose a potentially significant financial loss.
To protect yourself "when you buy wine," cautions Mr. De'eb, "make sure you know exactly what you're paying for. Don't be afraid to push to see the actual bottles or inspect them. Ask for guarantees, even photos of your wines and the exact addresses of the storage facilities they are being kept in."

Plutonomy and the Precariat: On the History of the U.S. Economy in Decline
Posted on May 8, 2012
By Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch
(Page 3)
Just to make it more surreal, while this option was being avoided, the Obama administration was sending its transportation secretary to Spain to get contracts for developing high-speed rail for the United States, which could have been done right in the rust belt, which is being closed down. There are no economic reasons why this can't happen. These are class reasons, and reflect the lack of popular political mobilization. Things like this continue.
Climate Change and Nuclear Weapons
I've kept to domestic issues, but there are two dangerous developments in the international arena, which are a kind of shadow that hangs over everything we've discussed. There are, for the first time in human history, real threats to the decent survival of the species.
One has been hanging around since 1945. It's kind of a miracle that we've escaped it. That's the threat of nuclear war and nuclear weapons. Though it isn't being much discussed, that threat is, in fact, being escalated by the policies of this administration and its allies. And something has to be done about that or we're in real trouble.
Square, Site wide
The other, of course, is environmental catastrophe. Practically every country in the world is taking at least halting steps towards trying to do something about it. The United States is also taking steps, mainly to accelerate the threat. It is the only major country that is not only not doing something constructive to protect the environment, it's not even climbing on the train. In some ways, it's pulling it backwards.
And this is connected to a huge propaganda system, proudly and openly declared by the business world, to try to convince people that climate change is just a liberal hoax. "Why pay attention to these scientists?"
We're really regressing back to the dark ages. It's not a joke. And if that's happening in the most powerful, richest country in history, then this catastrophe isn't going to be averted—and in a generation or two, everything else we're talking about won't matter. Something has to be done about it very soon in a dedicated, sustained way.
It's not going to be easy to proceed. There are going to be barriers, difficulties, hardships, failures. It's inevitable. But unless the spirit of the last year, here and elsewhere in the country and around the globe, continues to grow and becomes a major force in the social and political world, the chances for a decent future are not very high.

By Jeffrey B. Perry, May 8, 2012 at 7:41 pm Link to this comment
While Noam Chomsky makes some important points I think his article would have been strengthened by discussion of the role of white supremacy in shaping the current situation (see for instance the National Urban League's "Equality Index" in The State of Black America 2012). Chomsky's article would have been further strengthened if it included discussion on how white supremacy was used to undermine struggles from below related to previous major crises in the U.S. (such as those of the 1870s, the 1890s, and the 1930s). White supremacy has been a principal retardant to previous progressive social change efforts and struggle against it should be a central component of our future efforts. Readers interested in more on this may want to look at the article "The Developing Conjuncture and Some Insights from Hubert Harrison and Theodore W. Allen on the Centrality of the Fight Against White Supremacy" ("Cultural Logic," 2010) at http://www.jeffreybperry.net/ (top left).

James Eagan Holmes, the suspect in custody for shooting dozens of people at a "Batman" movie in Colorado, was described as a reclusive loner who at one point painted his hair red and called himself "the Joker."
Holmes' mother, reached on the phone by ABC News on Friday morning in San Diego, said, "You have the right person. I need to call the police. I need to fly to Colorado."
The family later issued a statement saying, "Our hearts go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the families and friends of those involved." The family also asked for privacy and said it is cooperating with authorities.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who said he had been briefed on the shooting, said Holmes had emulated the Batman villain the Joker. Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates would not confirm the report but did say he had spoken to Kelly.
Those who knew the 24-year-old Holmes describe him as a shy, intelligent person raised in California by parents who were active in their well-to-do suburban neighborhood.
Holmes, who was studying neuroscience in a Ph.D. program in Colorado, grew up in San Diego, where his parents still live on a quiet, street of two-story homes with red tile roofs. He played soccer at Westview High School and ran cross country before going to college.
Neighbors say the family belonged to a Presbyterian church and hosted a Christmas party for residents. Many families choose the San Diego neighborhood because it is part of the well-regarded Poway Unified School District, one of the best in California.
On Friday morning, police escorted the suspect's father, a manager of a software company, from their San Diego home. The mother, a nurse, stayed inside, receiving family visitors who came to offer support. The suspect also has a younger sister.
A neighbor at the apartment building where Holmes lived in Aurora, Colo., said he was a recluse who wouldn't acknowledge when neighbors passed him in the hall and said hello.
A pharmacy student who wished to be identified only as Ben said, "No one knew him. No one."
Ben said he called 911 about 12:30 a.m. Friday to complain about music blaring from Holmes' apartment, apparently the same song playing over and over.
Police in Colorado said Holmes fired into a crowded movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora while wearing a gas mask, killing 12 people and wounding 59 others. He was in police custody in Colorado and the FBI said there was no indication the attack was tied to any terrorist groups.
There have been no indications so far that Holmes had any run-ins with the law before Friday. San Diego Superior Court spokeswoman Karen Dalton said there were no records found under his name, not even for a traffic ticket. Riverside County prosecutors also have no criminal record for him, said John Hall, a spokesman for the district attorney's office.
A furniture mover who lives several blocks from the suspect's Aurora apartment building said he shared a beer with him Tuesday at a neighborhood bar where they talked about Denver Bronco Peyton Manning.
Jackie Mitchell said he recognized Holmes' photo on television as the guy he met at the bar. He described him as smart with a "swagger."
"We just talked about football. He had a backpack and geeky classes and seemed like a real intelligent guy and I figured he was one of the college students," he said.
Anthony Mai, a 16-year-old who grew up next door to Holmes, said Holmes largely kept to himself but his behavior was nothing out of the ordinary.
"He felt a little bit concealed, but it wasn't too much. It was alright" he said. "This is just a feeling in my gut, but I felt like he had something, like he was being picked on or something."
His father, Tom Mai, a retired electrical engineer, said he was a "shy guy" who came from a "very, very nice family." "He seemed to be a normal kid, I don't know what triggered it," he said. "This makes me very sad."
Mai said the mother told him the suspect couldn't find a job after earning a master's degree from a University of California school and so went back for another degree.
Holmes graduated with honors from University of California, Riverside, in the spring of 2010 with a bachelor of science degree in neuroscience, said university spokesman Sean Nealon.
In 2011, Holmes enrolled in the Ph.D. neuroscience program at the University of Colorado-Denver but was in the process of withdrawing, said spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery.
Janine Gharghoury, a former student at UC-Riverside, wasn't close with Holmes but interacted with him frequently while they attended the honors science program and lived adjacent to him in the school's dorms.
"He seemed like a nice guy," she said via email. "He didn't strike me as creepy or as someone who would do something like that. Everyone that knew him from UCR that I've spoken to today is in total disbelief. No one expected that from him."
That has been the sentiment from several other former and current students who knew Holmes, describing him as a soft-spoken individual who wore shorts and flannel shirts, played the video game Guitar Hero, and was polite and smart.
Jessica Cade, a graduate student who lived in the dorms with Holmes in Riverside during the 2006-07 school year, said Holmes was a member of several honors societies, including Phi Beta Kappa and Golden Key.
"I thought he was a little weird, but when someone is that smart, it isn't strange for them to be weird, odd," she said. "But I never would have thought he would do something like this, never considered him to be a 'lunatic' or 'deranged' like the news is calling him. I never got that close to him, but was always friendly with him and him with me."
The Denver Post, the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles News Group contributed to this report.

Liverpool Message Board
Maxi Rodriguez set to return home
it would seem that Maxi's long time flirtation with a return to Newells Old Boys is about to be sealed. The club chairman has announced they have agreed terms with Maxi and are in discussions with LFC to negotiate a release from the final year of his contract. Bit saddened by this one although it does make perfect sense with him being 31 yrs old and his playing time of late not really leveling off against his £110k per week wages.
Im certain if he had been given a run in the team throughout a whole season he would have hit 15+ goals, no problems, but at what expense? His work rate and tracking back seemed to be the stumbling point despite his astounding effectiveness. When we briefly played a front 4 of Maxi-Suarez-Kuyt-Bellamy we played some scintilating football but conceded the possesion monopoly.
I will save my thanks until its confirmed but great goals and even greater song!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

I see now its official being on the club site:
Just wanted to say thanks to Maxi, although wish his stay had been a little longer, and to wish him good luck back home.
Well this may be good news although it might not be in Maxis thoughts but it seems pretty clear that Brendan is keen to keep him and that he is part of his philosophy. It seems that anyone who has a good touch and a bit of skill has a chance but if your just a workhorse your screwed!

I know what you mean, yes we need the technical ability, but we do also need players willing to roll up their sleeves. But to be honest when I watch Swansea play, I got to think that Rodgers wants both in good measure. Think about the pressing game that is so important to the likes of Barca and Swansea tried to emulate.
Also, I never knew Maxi had never learnt English. Seems I remember that Rafa made it a requirement for all players coming in (even had Carra sit in on a few to brush up a bit!) to learn English and try to speak it as much as possible around the club. I suppose that went out the window after he left. I'm not trying to be nationalistic, but surely it's a good thing to learn the language of the club you're at. Not only easier to settle in the city and country, but think it builds more unity if the lads can all have a real conversation.

Not a big surprise if this happens, and to be honest I was surprised he spent the entire season with us last term. It is a shame as his technical ability I think would have suited the Rodgers style, but as you point out there is no denying the weaknesses that have crept into his game as he's gotten older. I hope the club can do the right thing by Maxi who it seems clear would like to finish off his career where it began.

It seems a certainty and as you said, no suprise. He has been a great 'free' transfer for us and scored some memorable goals, is another one in that Yossi, Garcia, Riera mould of 'what ifs'!
The rumours about Bellamy dont seem to be slowing up and he's even indicated that he's tempted for a move himself. I think Rodgers wants him to stay judging by his interviews but Bella isnt so sure!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
MONDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- Nurses can comparably solve acute, low complexity health problems with similar results to general practitioners, according to a study published online March 21 in the Journal of Advanced Nursing.
Begoña Iglesias, M.D., from Consorci de Serveis a les Persones in Barcelona, Spain, and colleagues randomized adult patients requesting a same day consultation to an intervention group (753 patients seen by nurses trained to respond to low complexity problems) or a control group (708 patients seen by a general practitioner) in 38 primary care practices.
The researchers found that nurses successfully resolved 86.3 percent of the cases. There were no differences in resolution of symptoms or patient satisfaction between the groups.
"Nurses trained specifically to resolve acute health problems of low complexity give comparable quality of care to that provided by general practitioners in terms of resolution of the problem 15 days after the visit and in patient satisfaction with the visit," the authors write.

An Escape from Sunday Showers
It's been very wet in New York today. The kind of day where you want to do nothing other than catch up on sleep or on your Netflix queue.
The only thing tempting enough to lure us out into the seemingly unending downpour? The promise of a delicious brunch.
Not wanting to be out in the rain for too long, we decided to stay close to home. We grabbed our umbrellas and ran up Bedford Street to The Little Owl. A perfect little spot for waiting out a stormy day.
When we say little, we mean very little. The space houses just 10 tables, all close together, surrounded by large windows. Even with today's cloud cover, the restaurant was filled with light, which gleamed brilliantly off of the gold painted tin ceiling.
Luckily for us, the usually packed café was understandably quieter today, and we were surprisingly seated right away.
We sat at the prime corner table—perfect for Village people watching—and our waitress brought over two piping hot cups of coffee, in mismatched mugs. The Little Owl is always full of such tiny quirks that add to the excellence of Chef Joey Campanaro's seasonal menu.
We tried the Cherry Bomb cocktail, a sanguine punch of Wakatake Onigoroshi "Demon Slayer" sake, with sour cherry and lime. Refreshingly tart and not overly sweet—a perfect wake-up call for the taste buds.
As for dishes, Little Owl is (rightfully) famous for their gravy meatball sliders, an unctuous blend of beef, pork, veal and pecorino cheese, served three to a plate with perfectly matching buns.
These meatballs have grown so popular that more than a thousand are served each week at Little Owl and the recipe has even been published in New York Magazine.
We feasted on these, as well as equally tasty plate of smoked salmon and eggs, accompanied by chives and a tender baguette and a dollop of tangy crème fraîche. Cheddar grits rounded out our homey, cozy meal.
After sipping our coffee and watching the Village pass by for a few moments, we braved the raging shower and took a walk through our neighborhood. We love to take in the beautiful homes and the rain poncho-adorned tourists, all the same.
Have a great Monday!
- Ryan and Laura

The LoDown: Let the games begin!

The LoDown: Are we there yet? (7/11)
Junior libero/defensive specialist Laura Hathaway is in Europe playing for the BIP Southeastern team as part of the European Global Challenge. In the latest installment, she writes about being reunited with members of the "Wolfpack" (teammate Melissa Rigo and coaches Coley and Dan Pawlikowski) and the first match of the Global Challenge.
For more on Hathaway's journey, follow @StonyBrookVB, @getlo13 and @SBAthletics on Twitter or search for the hashtag #GetLo. She will be taking over the @StonyBrookVB account on July 20. More details will follow in the coming days on how people can ask questions.
We spent our last few days in Budapest practicing and sightseeing. We would practice in the morning, sightsee all day, then go back and practice in the evening. It feels like we managed to see everything there is to see in Budapest within a few short days. After we saw one portion of the city, it was on to the next. There was definitely a lot of walking, but thank goodness for public transportation (which is super-efficient in Europe). We got pretty good at taking buses and trains. When it came to practice, our team really worked and with each practice we made a lot of improvements. Saturday night, our tour guide took us downtown to show us what the nightlife was like in Budapest. We went to an outdoor dance club, which was really cool. The crowd was definitely older than dance clubs at home, but they did play American music. The majority of the songs were somewhat old but they threw some new ones in there. If you went up at tried to talk to someone, chances are they didn't speak English, but they still knew every word to all the songs. It doesn't matter that they have no idea what they're singing about, it has a nice beat and they can sure dance to it. "We Will Rock You" seemed to be a crowd fave. The weather has been really nice, which is great until we get in the gym and it feels like 100 degrees. It's not too bad though, going through preseason on the island in a gym without air conditioning has prepped me well for the trip!
Yesterday was spent traveling. We left our hotel at 7:30 a.m. and were expecting about an eight hour commute to Croatia. We traveled on a big tour bus with two different Hungarian teams and their coaching staffs. It was a little bit of a tight squeeze but wasn't too bad, until the air stopped working in the back. We made a stop shortly after the air stopped working and our bus driver managed to fixed it, which we were all beyond happy about. It turned out there was something wrong with the bus (I have no idea exactly what it was) that was causing it to overheat, so we had to make frequent stops that lasted around 20-30 minutes, to make sure we didn't break down. We also had to go pretty slow (semis were passing us), and every time we went up a large hill (which are really big in Croatia) we had to stop as well. We ended up making it to our hotel around 630pm. Our expected eight-hour trip turned into an 11-hour trip. Needless to say, I haven't had the greatest luck while traveling on this tour but we made it in time for dinner and opening ceremonies, so that was all that mattered. When I was about to walk into dinner, I heard a woman yell "LOIS!!" and knew it had to be Coley, my head coach, because she and Dan are the only people in the world who call me that. If you know Coley at all, you know that you get greeted with a big smile and even bigger bear hug. At dinner, I found Rigs and got to catch up with her a little. She's loving it as well. It was definitely awesome to finally meet up with them.
Opening ceremonies were really cool. I got to meet a lot of the different teams; some are as young as 14 and as old college level. There are teams from the U.S., Croatia, Puerto Rico, Montenegro, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, Czech Republic, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. Every team was announced and went up on the steps of history to get pictures taken. When announcing the squads, they would play a song and you would have to try to guess if it was for your team. There are about six USA teams so it made it kind of hard to guess. Ours ended up being an Elvis Presley, none of us guessed it was for us so eventually they just called us up. Naturally, when Coley and Rigo's teams were announced I was yelling obnoxiously. At the end, everyone just mingled and got pictures.
This morning we had our first match against Italy, who won the division last year. The way the system works in this tournament is by points. Each team plays two matches per day. A match in this tournament consists of three sets to 25, you play 3 sets regardless if you lost the first 2. If you win all three sets, your team gets three big points. The amount of points you have determines where you get placed in playoffs. If you win two of the three sets, your team gets two big points and the other team gets one, and so on. This morning we lost two out of three sets, so we lost the match. However, since we won the last set we still managed to get a point, which will end up being very beneficial when it comes down to making playoffs because every point matters. If that all sounds confusing just read it a couple times and hopefully I explained it well enough to make sense, it took me a couple times to understand. We're a very competitive team so were all pretty frustrated started with a loss. We lost by about two to three points both sets. We know we didn't play as well as we could have and made silly mistakes at crucial times, but our coaches are good at reminding us that we've only played together for about five days and we're playing teams that have been training together for months, some even years. We learned a lot from it and were happy with the fact that we started to figure it out and click at the end so we could at least take a set away from the match. We play another match tonight at 8:30 p.m. It's nice to have some downtime scout some other teams, watch Rigo's and Coley's teams, hang out a little by the pool or the beach, enjoy the city and just get some rest in general.
Our match tonight is against the Czech Republic, and we're more than ready to come back with a win. I haven't even been here for 24 hours yet, but what I have seen of Croatia, I love. It's really beautiful and I would encourage everyone to visit it. Our hotel is right next to the Adriatic Sea, which is so awesome. It's really nice to be reunited with some of the Wolfpack (that's what we call our team at SB). I'm excited to get to hangout with them more. Everyone who meets Coley and Dan tell me that I look a lot like them. We jokingly talked about me calling them Mom and Dad but then quickly decided that that was creepy and I'm a little old to be their child. Coley and I have decided that saying we're sisters is believable and if more people keep asking if we're related, I'm just going to tell them we are instead of explaining that we aren't. It's crazy to think I'm six days into the tour. Time is flying so fast. This whole thing is an incredible experience and I'm loving it.
