/ Wellfleet stormwater improvements underway| Massachusetts NRCS
Loading Tree...
HYANNIS, Mass. (January 4, 2012) -- A stormwater treatment project that will significantly improve the water quality of Duck Creek in Wellfleet is in progress and, as a result, motorists may encounter construction work along Commercial Street between Bank Street and Holbrook Avenue. The work is part of the Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project, spearheaded by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in partnership with the Cape Cod Conservation District and Barnstable County Commissioners.Construction crews will be removing pavement in sections along Commercial Street and digging holes for catchment and treatment basins through January 2012. This temporary disturbance will soon result in cleaner water running off roads into Duck Creek and flowing into the groundwater.Like many asphalt roads and parking lots near open water, the paved surfaces of Commercial Street and Holbrook Avenue have been channeling untreated surface water � stormwater � into an important water body because of their large impervious surface areas. Stormwater usually carries contaminants such as fertilizer and bacteria that flow directly into surface water if not first caught and filtered. The problem is being addressed by installing underground containment and purification centers. Each system consists of a catchment basin that collects untreated stormwater runoff. Water then flows into connected leach basins where it trickles slowly downward through porous material that removes pollutants.Funding for the construction comes primarily from American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) money designated for the Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project, begun in 2010. The town of Wellfleet is covering 25 percent of the cost.�Stormwater treatment along Duck Creek is important to restore water quality, improve wildlife habitat, and potentially allow shellfish harvesting in the future,� said Donald Liptack, District Conservationist in the NRCS Barnstable field office. �Duck Creek is a central feature in Wellfleet�s historic downtown, and the stormwater treatment sites are all being installed in front of well-known Wellfleet sites and businesses such as Uncle Tim�s Bridge, Left Bank Gallery and the Mid-Cape Home Center.�During construction, large concrete cylinders can be seen along the road, ready to begin their important work once buried underground. Other equipment waiting to be installed includes floating debris traps, oddly shaped green plastic devices that will be positioned over the discharge pipe leading from the stormwater catchment basins into the infiltration systems. Their job is to collect oil and large debris that can impair the function of the sand and fabric that treats the contaminated water. The oil, debris and other sediment will be removed when the Town empties the catch basin twice a year.The area will be repaved after installation and the only visible sign of the underground treatment systems will be new grates and manhole covers on the road.The Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project is an estimated $30 million project that, if fully implemented, will restore 1,500 acres of degraded salt marsh, improve fish access to 4,200 acres of spawning habitat, and improve water quality for 7,300 acres of shellfish beds over 10 years. Some $6.5 million in Recovery Act funding allowed work to begin in 2011 on 25 of the 76 proposed sites; nine projects have been completed. In addition to the environmental benefits, short-term economic benefits are also expected from the creation of construction jobs. The cost of the Wellfleet project is nearly $478,000.The Barnstable County Commissioners, Coastal Resources Committee; Cape Cod Conservation District; Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs; all 15 towns across Cape Cod; and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Additional federal, state and local agencies are cooperating.For more information on the Cape Cod Water Resources Restoration Project, visithttp://www.ma.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/CCWRRP/index.html.

CHICOPEE – The Friends of the Senior Center has turned over the first quarter of the money it promised to help fund construction of the new senior center.
The group, which is designed to support the Council on Aging, pledged to raise $2 million toward the cost of constructing the about $10.2 million building. Recently, it turned over its first payment of $553,483 to the city.
The money is to be placed in the account used to make bond payments on short-term loans.
Before accepting the money in a 11-0 vote, the City Council asked why the payment wasn't larger since the Friends of the Senior Center have collected an estimated $1.2 million in donations.
"It is not all collected. Some of it is in pledges," City Treasurer Marie T. Laflamme said.
Laflamme said the organization has accepted larger donations that can be spread out over five years so not all the money will be collected immediately.
When the city first proposed building a new senior center to replace the one on Valley View Drive that is too small and inadequate for modern programs offered for the elderly, the Friends of the Senior Center promised to raise $2 million toward the construction.
The center is now under construction on the former Facemate factory site off West Main Street. It is expected to be completed in the spring.
Now-retired City Treasurer Ernest Laflamme and Mayor Richard J. Kos agreed to serve as chairmen of the fund-raising committee. Kos decided to run for mayor more than a year after leading the effort with Laflamme.
The organization has received several sizable contributions including a $250,000 donation from Chicopee Savings Bank and a $100,000 donation from PeoplesBank. At the same time, the Friends of the Senior Center have held multiple fund-raisers including bake sales and a fun run to raise smaller amounts of money.

Timber Rattlers video:
The inspiration:
I am told that there are a few more bobble-centric videos to be produced in the next few weeks.
Flashback Friday Supplemental: January 20, 2012
There is nothing that I do not like about the cover of the 1993 Appleton Foxes Program cover.
This week's Flashback is posted over TimberRattlers.com and it is a little history about baseball in Appleton.
What a difference a week makes. The slideshow begins with the photo that was taken on Monday morning. Then, a bunch of pictures from the day after the snow finally hit on Thursday…all day on Thursday:
Have a great weekend, everyone. Think warm thoughts.
Flashback Friday Supplement (1/13/12)
Here are a few photos that go with today's Flashback Friday on the home page:
Snowmageddon, 2012
Wisconsin. January. Snow.
It happens.
The fact that it was 50 degrees yesterday does not mean that it will not snow the rest of the winter.
This week's Mehring Monday had a picture from centerfield to show the lack of snow.
Snow is falling again in Northeastern Wisconsin. The thought came to me about documenting today's snowfall. The first photo was taken a little after 9am and posted on @TimberRattlers.
Here is the photo from 10am. Will update hourly until the daylight fails.
Your 11am photo:
Next up is the noon photo:
1pm photo:
Oh and it's still snowing, too.
Here are three pictures for the 2pm update.
Mother Nature is not going to make me tap.
I'll put this all into slideshow format later today.
Still a little cold. Might have been the long walk to the top of the grass seating area without a jacket.
A little blue tint to these photos since it was getting so dark.
And that is the day in snow at Time Warner Cable Field. Plus, it's still snowing. Can't wait to see how much falls during the night.
A moment for Mark Haley
Mark Haley has been the manager of the South Bend Silver Hawks since 2005. That was the year he and the Hawks beat the Timber Rattlers in the Midwest League Championship Series.
Haley has been a great manager with whom to deal over the last several seasons. When the Rattlers are in South Bend, I always seem to run into him in the tunnels beneath Coveleski Stadium in South Bend on the first day of a series down there.
Oh, there have been some battles over the years but, Haley has always been a professional.
That's why a twitter update that included a link about Haley hit me a little last night.
…fast forward to Thurs. Dec 29th, after 6 days of ups and downs with temps, BP, pain, etc. a CT scan revealed a softball size abcess in his abdomen from a perforated bowel. I arrived to his room that morning and the OR was already calling for him. He had been back for about 10 min. It was a decision that we really had no time to think about because by now Mark was very sick and something had to be done quickly. 2 hrs later Dr. Credi and Dr. Mark Walsh spoke to me and told me that Mark had 12 inches of bowel removed, he was Septic and he was going to be in the ICU for at least a day or 2 on a ventilator and to be prepared because things would get worse before they got better.
Please click the link and read all the details.
Ben Hill had this update this afternoon with comments from the Silver Hawks.
"We're keeping [Haley] in our thoughts and prayers. He's a strong, tough man and we expect a full recovery," said Silver Hawks general manager Lynn Kachmarik. "South Bend is his home, and he's highly respected throughout the community. We're getting so many calls and messages from people wanting to wish him well."
We here at the Timber Rattlers wish Mark well, too.

Greetings from 2012
The blog has been on unofficial hiatus for the last few weeks with the lack of news…and because I was using the holiday break to recharge for the task of nonstop blogging and baseball to Labor Day and beyond.
To see the kind of year Rattler Radio had in 2011, please check out this link provided by WordPress.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by last season. Spread the word for 2012 because there should be some neat things for you between now and Opening Day. After Opening Day, I'll continue with the features and add in all the Timber Rattler News that is fit to link.
To get back into the blogging habit, here is what the Time Warner Cable Field looked like today as the business office reopened for the new year.
As the great Jim Ross says, "Business is about to damn sure pick up!"

In order to increase the image size and the viewing zone angle of a hologram, a high-speed spatial light modulator (SLM) is imaged as a vertically long image by an anamorphic imaging system, and this image is scanned horizontally by a galvano scanner. The reduction in horizontal pixel pitch of the SLM provides a wide viewing zone angle. The increased image height and horizontal scanning increased the image size. We demonstrated the generation of a hologram having a horizontal viewing zone angle and an image size of 3.4 inches with a frame rate of using a digital micromirror device with a frame rate of as a high-speed SLM.

KEYSTONE STILL IN DOUBT: It appears Palmyra (18-0, 12-0) and Hershey will continue to battle for Keystone supremacy until the two proud programs square off on the final day of the regular season.
While Palmyra easily dispatched Bishop McDevitt Wednesday, the Trojans were busy dealing with Lower Dauphin's unrelenting patience in Hummelstown. On the strength of Victoria Blackburn's 18 points – Hershey's point guard posted her team's only field goal of the second half – coach Randy Gambelunghe's Trojans survived a 29-24 tester.
Lower Dauphin, playing without starter Hunter Bracale (concussion), trailed 19-9 at halftime, then held Hershey (15-2, 12-1) to 10 second-half points. Blackburn's trey, her second of the game, accounted for that lone Hershey field goal in the final 16 minutes.
VIEW: Wednesday's box scores and updated standings
NEW KEYSTONE NO. 3: Mechanicsburg took a big step toward qualifying for the District 3-AAAA postseason, rallying behind Hannah Brown for a 40-35 Keystone win over host Trinity.
Brown netted 12 points in the final stanza, a 15-9 Mechanicsburg sprint, while five different players netted long-range treys to pull Mechanicsburg (11-6, 8-4) into third-place in the Keystone Division. Brianna Betz-White equalled Brown's effort in the loss, Trinity's first in four games.
OWNING THE TVL: We're not sure such rude behavior is what coaches had in mind when Tri-Valley League officials welcomed back Juniata (15-1, 11-0) this season. So far, the Indians have been untouchable in league play as Victoria Varner, Carly Burns and Joelle Winey led Juniata's latest success story on Wednesday opposite Millersburg.
Varner's perimeter touch led all scorers with 17 points in Juniata's 55-32 win. Burns (11 points) and Winey added a combined 21 to erase a pair of double-digit performances by Millersburg's Tori Fulkroad and Madison Engle. Juniata's lone setback dates to Dec. 15 against Bald Eagle Area.
SENIOR NIGHT SHOWSTOPPER: Although well outside the District 3-AAAA cutline, Cedar Cliff earned (6-11) a brief reprieve from the rigors of the Mid-Penn Keystone Division on Wednesday.
On senior night, Jess Butts popped in a career-high 17 points and Leah Marshall chipped in nine during a 50-34 non-con triumph over York. Butts also nailed Cedar Cliff's only trey as the visiting Bearcats were overwhelmed by a 25-12 halftime deficit.
INDIANS SKID CONTINUES: Finding a competitive groove has been difficult for Susquehanna Twp., and those struggles continued Wednesday against Keystone foe Red Land. Danielle June poured in 17 points and Ashley Carroll chipped in 13 as the Patriots used a tidy 16-8 fourth-quarter run to bypass the Tribe 54-45.
Despite a game-high 21 points by Lena Williams, Red Land's effort shoved Julie Denniston's crew to their third straight loss.

NEW YORK — Paula Deen dissolved into tears during a "Today" show interview Wednesday about her admission that she used a racial slur in the past, saying anyone in the audience who's never said anything they've regretted should pick up a rock and throw it at her head.
The celebrity chef, who had backed out of a "Today" interview last Friday, said she was not a racist and was heartbroken by the controversy that began with her own deposition in a lawsuit. Deen has been dropped by the Food Network and as a celebrity endorser by Smithfield Foods.
"I've had to hold friends in my arms while they've sobbed because they know what's been said about me is not true and I'm having to comfort them," she said.
Deen told Matt Lauer she could recall using the "n-word" only once. She had earlier said that she remembered using it when retelling a story about when she was held at gunpoint by a robber who was black while working as a bank teller in the 1980s in Georgia. In a deposition for the lawsuit involving an employee in a restaurant owned by Deen and her brother, she had said she may also have used the slur when recalling conversations between black employees at her restaurants.
Looking distressed and her voice breaking, Deen said if there was someone in the audience who had never said something they wished they could take back, "please pick up that stone and throw it as hard at my head so it kills me. She said she appreciated fans who have expressed anger at the Food Network for dropping her, but said she didn't support a network boycott.
"These people who have met me and know me and love me, they're as angry as the people who are reading these stories that are lies," she said.

Q & A Library
Consider Cat's Claw?
What are the health benefits of cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa or Uña de gato)? Do you think it can be safely consumed?
Answer (Published 8/22/2006)
Cat's claw comes from a woody vine with claw-shaped thorns that grows wild in the Amazon highlands of Peru and other areas of South and Central America. Native peoples have used the bark and root for centuries, primarily for treatment of arthritis, ulcers, sexually transmitted diseases, and cancer.

My colleague Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., an internationally recognized expert in the fields of integrative medicine, dietary supplements and women's health, tells me that one good, but small, study in Austria showed that rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with 60 mg a day of a standardized extract of cat's claw for one year experienced a reduction in the number of painful and swollen joints. The study was published in the April, 2002, Journal of Rheumatology. Dr. Low Dog also said that a review of the safety data on cat's claw found low potential for toxicity. Safety in pregnancy isn't known.
According to Dr. Low Dog, cat's claw appears to have some immune-modulating effects, but more research is needed. No definitive conclusions have emerged from other studies evaluating cat's claw for reduction of inflammation and as a treatment for arthritic pain in the knee. Some studies have suggested that cat's claw may slow the growth of malignant tumors, but here, too, we need much more evidence before drawing any conclusions about its efficacy.
Despite the limited scientific evidence, promoters make extravagant claims that cat's claw is effective for everything from acne to urinary tract infections, including such serious conditions as diabetes, heart and kidney disease, and cancer. And cat's claw is popular with consumers. In 1997, it ranked seventh in herbal sales in the United States.
Cat's claw is rich in tannins, which could cause such gastrointestinal side effects as abdominal pain and diarrhea. I do not routinely recommend cat's claw and would need to see more and better evidence in order to do so.

Last quarter, storage module builder Xyratex (Nasdaq: XRTX ) disappointed analysts and investors alike, and the stock has been suffering ever since. At the time, I told you to consider shares of Western Digital (NYSE: WDC ) or Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX ) if you really had your heart set on a storage buy, and that turned out to be good advice: Xyratex is down a heart-stopping 43% since that day, while Seagate nearly preserved your capital with a 1.7% loss and Western Digital's 14% gain straight-up beat the market.
That includes a 13% drop in Xyratex shares today, because last night's second-quarter report was another disaster. Sales fell by 9% from the first quarter, to $360 million, at the low end of management guidance and well below the $374 million expected by your average analyst.
Management points to "soft" demand for 2.5-inch disk-drive components and fallout from Western Digital's acquisition of Hitachi's (NYSE: HIT ) storage division, as both halves of that deal are customers of Xyratex. One company's synergies and cost savings are another's lost sales, you know.
All is not lost as gross margins in the networked storage segment improved and helped Xyratex beat earnings estimates with $0.24 of non-GAAP earnings per share. Assuming that the damage from the Hitachi deal has already been dealt, Xyratex could become a tremendous turnaround story from this low point. The company also announced a $50 million share repurchase plan, which seems perfectly timed to take advantage of an undervalued stock and could end up reducing the share count by nearly 10%.
However, it'll take a couple of quarters before that turnaround really kicks in, and I expect the share price trough to last for some time. In other words, there's no need to rush into any buy-or-sell decisions today. Itchy trigger fingers often get hurt.
You're better off just adding a basket of storage stocks to your watchlist, ready to take action when a real opportunity comes up. Click here to get started.

"You know you're gonna be all right?" is the last line in Tom Shkolnik's debut film about a thirty-something Londoner attempting to get a grip on his life. While trying his hand at stand-up comedy, Ed (played subtly by Edward Hogg) meets Nathan on his way home. What begins as an honest assessment of Ed's awful comedy, turns into a romantic tryst and burgeoning relationship. Ed is depressed about his job at a call center and can't seem to grasp the basic concepts of successful comedy. But meeting Nathan has finally given him a promising outlook on life. THE COMEDIAN is not a silly romp through sex-crazed London; it is an intelligent depiction of a young man searching for the identity that has eluded him for his entire life. Utilizing an improvised script, the film gives an honest and fresh look at the current crop of adults ("Reality Bites" for the next generation) and their seemingly non-existent place in the world. Ed soon realizes his love for his flatmate Elisa. And his ever-drifting life sets off again on another free-fall. Excellently shot and wonderfully acted, THE COMEDIAN may not be slap-stick comedy, but it reveals the pain hiding inside all clowns and wayward jokers. – T.W.

I'm excited to share this interview with Israel Halperin – an MMA & Thai Kickboxing athlete, trainer, and researcher. He's competed, trained, and studied internationally with many prominent figures in his field.
Israel's perspective is a balanced one. While remaining practical and relevant for his athletes, he keeps his biases in check through his humbling research experience. I'm proud to know him personally. In this short but informative discussion Israel shares some of his insight on training athletes.
I'm proud to introduce my good friend Israel Halperin; an athlete, trainer and a researcher. Israel, how about you introduce yourself to the readers.
Thanks for having me Tony. To begin with, I started practicing martial arts at a young age and knew from the start that I wanted to make a career out of it. I trained in Israel, Thailand, U.S and Europe and competed in mixed martial arts and kickboxing. During this time I was also involved in training professional fighters. Then, about 7 years ago, I decided that I had enough of competing and teaching martial arts, and I moved on to my second career as a strength and conditioning coach. The transition from a competitive athlete to a coach was immediate, and in no time I found myself training athletes again, but this time as their strength and conditioning coach. I was lucky enough to have been involved in the training of quite a few professional fighters including world champions in Thai boxing, grappling and boxing. Along the way, I obtained my B.Ed in physical education and I am currently approaching the end of my studies for an M.Sc degree in Kinesiology.
Champions come from all over the world, and you've been lucky to see how many of them train. What are some major insights you've gained from this experience? For example, what are some similarities and differences between how you've seen people train?
Good question. Before I begin, I think it's fair to let the readers know that my experience is mainly limited to martial arts. However, I do feel that my answer is valid for other sports as well.
Let's start with the differences. Based on my experience, champions around the world train quite differently from one another. Some run sprints and others run long distances, some lift heavy weights and others have never touched a dumbbell in their lives. Particularly, I have noticed that in North America coaches emphasize the power and Olympic lifts, and typically advocate heavier loads. In contrast, in the parts of Europe that I visited, coaches favored exercises performed in various planes using predominantly light weights and bodyweight. Lastly, in Thailand they do not follow either of these paths. Aside from steady state jogging, a few sets of push ups, pull ups and sit ups, all they do is practice their sport. Interestingly, the Thai's completely dominate Thai/kickboxing.
Every top level athlete I have trained with had a unique and different approach to training, yet somehow they all excelled. Why is that? This brings me to my observation concerning the similarities between them: incredible genetics combined with intense and consistent training. In every country that I traveled to, those who excelled trained with unimaginable intensity. They trained long hours, and rarely missed a training session. To me – that was the key to their success. This has led me to believe that what you do for training matters less than how you do it.
Interesting! Many strength and conditioning coaches would insist that athletes who do not practice the basic lifts (squats, deadlifts, benches etc.) could have been better if they did. What are your thoughts on that?
Based on what I see and what I read, the one thing you HAVE to do to get better at your sport is… practice your sport. Sometimes I feel that this basic notion is not as widely recognized as it should be. Otherwise I don't think there is one group of exercises that an athlete must do in order to improve. For example, when I design a training program for a particular trainee, I take into account his/her exercises preferences. We can debate if heavy squatting is mandatory or not, but if a particular athlete hates heavy squatting, and complains that they make him/her feel stiff and slow, then we avoid heavy squatting. Simple as that. If the trainee does not feel comfortable with the coach's program then it's just a matter of time until their relationship goes sour, and consequently, hindering the effectiveness of the program. So coming back to your original question, I believe that exercises should be matched to an individual athlete based on their individual needs and preferences, and I don't think there is a group of mandatory exercises guaranteeing athletic success.
How has your more recent experience as a researcher shaped your interpretation of training, research, and overall thinking?
Conducting research on my own has reinforced my perceptions about individualized training even more. For example, in my thesis study I noticed that the maximal isometric force the participants exerted with their elbow flexors differed quite a bit from day to day. This was surprising as one might assume that the day to day variations would be relatively small under such carefully controlled conditions. Particularly since the participants were highly trained and the exercise was simple. Surprisingly, the variations were significant. This finding reinforced my doubts about the practice of devising a training program based on early performance measurements, such as a 1RM.
Additionally, my thesis study has led me to appreciate how difficult it actually is to conduct research. It makes you realize firsthand the importance of an experimental design: sample size, randomization, normalization, etc.
To sum up some important points, give a few words of advice to trainers out there who work with athletes
If you are able to get the athletes to train hard and consistently, while keeping them motivated and maintaining their confidence, then you are most likely doing it right. Particularly if you are able to rationalize your decisions. To this end, I recommend you constantly seek the trainee's perspectives and opinions about the program and exercises selection. Their inputs contain valuable information for us coaches. It is also important to keep in mind that our role as S&C coaches is not to get the athletes to lift heavier weights, get sore, or throw up. Rather, it is to help them get better at their sport. For example, if I helped a professional boxer to improve his bench press performance, and consequently weakened his right cross, then I failed as his coach. Lastly, we should bear in mind that athletes have a finite amount of time and energy at their disposal, and most of it should be directed towards training in the sport they specialize in. With all of this in mind, try to keep the training sessions short, intense, and simple.
Finally, what are your plans for the future? Any idea? More research? Or are you going to keep it a secret for now?
Generally, I hope to find a middle ground between training athletes, teaching workshops and courses, and pursuing a PhD in Kinesiology with a focus on exercise related fatigue. Whatever I end up doing, I will always continue to work with athletes. I enjoy it too much to give it up, and I think it bridges the gap between the academic and practical worlds. Additionally, athletes make excellent participants for my studies ☺ I have been also thinking of writing a book on the physical preparation of combat athletes, and hope to start working on that soon.
I'd like to thank Israel for such a great interview – and wish him the best of luck as he moves forward in his career.
Keep your eyes peeled for his future work!

It doesn't take a lot of investigating to figure out who the top two receiving threats are for LSU. Check the stats from last season, or simply listen to quarterback Zach Mettenberger and you quickly realize that juniors Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry figure to get plenty of balls directed their way.
But those two won't be the only targets, not if the LSU offense expects to enjoy much success. Somebody else will have to find a way to get open once in a while.
Senior Kadron Boone is eager to give that a shot. For three years, Boone has sat outside the spotlight with a lot of potential and an occasional big play mixed in. He snared a career-high 26 passes for 348 yards in 2012 and his 4 touchdown grabs ranked second on the team to Landry (5).
The year before, two of his seven grabs were for scores.
"I don't get caught up in my name not being mentioned a lot," said Boone, a 6-foot, 202-pound native of Ocala, Fla. "The only thing I have control of is making plays when I'm in the game."
Boone's role in the receiving corps hasn't changed much since he arrived. He is one of the bigger and stronger players in the group and isn't shy about sticking his nose in the middle where receivers are open to nasty contact.
Along with fellow senior James Wright, that's exactly where Boone figures to find some business this season. Beckham, Landry and particularly redshirt freshman Travin Dural are better down-the-field and/or yards-after-catch options.
"You can't be scared to go across the middle," Boone said. "When Zach is in a bind, he's going to go to somebody he trusts. (Receivers coach Adam Henry) always preaches to be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed be there. That's my mindset whenever I'm on the field. Whatever my rout is, I make sure and run my route so when Zach makes his reads, I'm there for him."
"If you show you can play with physicality, our coaches will put you in position to make plays."
Which is likely a strong dose of foreshadowing.
Beckham and Landry will certainly get their chances to get open, and Mettenberger is obviously going to target the two more dangerous pass catchers at his disposal.
When defenses have strong enough schemes and talented enough defensive backs to frustrate those two, though, Boone stands at the ready.
"I consider myself a big, strong and physical and a guy who can run," Boone said. "I'm always looking for opportunities to make plays. Lot of teams are talking about Odell and Jarvis, and that's going to open up the passing game. When that happens, I've just got to be where I'm supposed to be and ready to make a play."
With Landry and Beckham back, LSU returns its top two receivers from the previous season for the first time since 2006 when Dwayne Bowe and Craig "Buster" Davis came back for their senior campaigns.
Extra pair of eyes
None of Josh Williford's offensive line teammates are happy that his season and likely his career are over after he suffered a scary concussion three weeks ago in practice, which included him reportedly being knocked unconscious for several minutes.
But the Tigers' big men are glad that he'll maintain a prominent role with them in the program.
LSU coach Les Miles said earlier this week that Williford will serve as a student coach this season, much like Josh Dworaczyk did in 2011 when a bad knee prevented him from playing.
"That helps a lot because you're looking to a guy who has had all type of experience at this level," left tackle La'El Collins said. "He's going to be able to see things from the sideline that we may not be able to see on the field, and when we come off the field, he can talk to us and tell us to check for this or that. Having a guy like that is always an advantage."
Williford's versatility could also come in handy.
The big 6-foot-7, 334-pound senior was slotted to be the sixth man on the LSU front, so he had cross-trained at all five spots, including center.
With the Tigers' o-line reshuffled considerably from last season, Williford could have plenty of pupils.
"All of our guys on the o-line are capable of moving and playing different positions," Collins said. "I feel like with our athletic ability, whatever happens up front, we've got a lot of different guys who can move around and do a good job."
Collins will break in a new wing man this season. He slide from left guard to tackle, and sophomore Vadal Alexander flip-flopped from right tackle to the spot Collis left vacant.
"Vadal is an incredible athlete -- big, strong smart on his feet. His ability to pick up things makes my blocks a lot easier. Him being there is going to help me a ton."
Homecoming, but not for the first time for some
A small group of LSU players are native Texans, some of who have played at cavernous AT&T Stadium, some who haven't.
Sophomore cornerback Jalen Mills grew up in various parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and played at both Lancaster and DeSoto.
It was during his junior season when he played in the Dallas Cowboys home digs for the first time.
"I had jitters; I'm not even going to lie -- I was nervous," Mills said. "Being in a place like that and playing football ... it's so big. It's heart-pounding at first. Once you get your first tackle out of the way or your first pass breakup, you're O.K. after that."
Sophomore defensive end Danielle Hunter grew up in Katy, a Western suburb of Houston. He has never played in AT&T Stadium and conceded that he's looking forward more to the 2014 opener when LSU takes on Wisconsin at Reliant Stadium in Space City.
Moving the chains
- LSU has won its last 10 season openers, including all eight under Les Miles. This is the third time in the last four seasons the Tigers are meeting fellow BCS-level foe in an NFL stadium to start the season.
- This is LSU's third trip to the home of the Dallas Cowboys. The Tigers ended the 2010 season by rolling past Texas A&M, 41-24, and then began the 2011 season with a 40-27 triumph over Oregon.
- In both of TCU's wins against LSU, the Horned Frogs scored 3 points.
- This is TCU's first game against an SEC foe since 2003 when the Frogs downed Vanderbilt 30-14.
- Under 13th-year coach Gary Patterson, TCU is 14-10 against ranked teams. That includes season-openings wins over Oklahoma in 2005 (17-10) and Oregon in 2010 (30-21) - the latter at AT&T Stadium.
- Two stats to keep an eye on: The Frogs are 77-8 under Patterson when holding opponents under 300 total yards and 82-3 when the foe scores 17 points or fewer.
- Last season TCU was +12 in its seven victories and -9 in the six losses.

This story has been updated here.
A suspect is in custody after two people were wounded during a shooting inside a government building Tuesday in Vancouver, according to officials.
Gunfire erupted inside the Center for Community Health on East Fourth Plain Boulevard just before 4 p.m., according to the Clark County Sheriff's Office. The center is in the Vancouver Campus of the Portland VA Medical Center just east of Interstate 5.
The Sheriff's Office said a 45-year-old man was taken to a hospital for treatment with unknown injuries. Previous reports indicated it was not life-threatening. It also said a 46-year-old woman was taken into custody; previous reports said she was injured as well, though also not life-threatening.
The VA in a news release said an employee of the Veteran Integrated Service Network was injured on the fourth floor in the complex's Building 17.
The shooting occurred one day after a murder-suicide shooting in Vancouver.
Sheriff's Sgt. Fred Nieman did not release the shooter's name, age, or gender.
Some people in the building where the shooting happened were immediately evacuated, while others were in lockdown during the incident, he said.
Joshua Pullman, 27, was on the second floor when the shooting occurred. Pullman said faculty staff in the building told him and others that the suspect was a woman in her 40s who may be a veteran.
Pullman said the woman reportedly was not happy with the services she was receiving at the health center. He said one of the injured was shot in the hip and the other in the hand, without identifying which, if either, was the suspected shooter.
At 6 p.m. many cars were still leaving the parking lot at the center. A dozen police lights flickered in the dusk. Yellow crime tape encircled the crime scene perimeter.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Did you or someone you know donate money to Jenna Hinman's family while she was battling cancer? If so, we would like to hear from you.
Jenna Hinman's husband is accused of forging signatures on checks to take money out of one of several accounts set up to collect donations for his wife.
Brandon Hinman, 31, of 2572 Hamilton St., Weedsport, is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and third-degree grand larceny. Hinman is accused of forging checks worth more than $46,000.
Authorities said the money was not used for the purposes it was intended for.
Jenna Hinman gave birth to twin girls in early March, but doctors discovered she had a rare form of pregnancy-related cancer. The twins, who were delivered premature, remained in neonatal intensive care for six weeks. Jenna Hinman died in May.
Following intense media coverage and a huge response on Facebook, thousands of dollars poured in to the family, much of it in the form of checks. An account was set up to give access to Jenna Hinman's parents, Jeff and Kim Blaisdell, and Brandon Hinman's sister, Lindsey Clark. Brandon Hinman was not an authorized user on the account, authorities said.
Nearly $200,000 raised on the online GoFundMe website has not been compromised.
Did you donate money to Jenna Hinman's family? We'd like to hear from you. Please contact us or leave a comment below.

Oregon's Legislature has a chance to create living-wage work in many of our jobs-starved rural communities.
The opening comes via the president's recent signing of the Water Resources Development Act. The new law capitalizes on inspired congressional leadership by Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio and Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.
The federal offer is easily described: Up to 10 percent of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund's almost $1.8 billion a year could be set aside for gravely needed dredging of federally authorized channels at small and subsistence ports. That potentially translates to millions of dollars to Oregon's coastal ports.
However, well-dredged federal channels don't guarantee that ports are equipped to be competitive. In order to be competitive, ports must have well-functioning roads, heavy equipment, sewers, storm water, wharfs, docks, piers and electrical facilities – that generally fall to the ports themselves.
The state's ports see business potential and are willing to take prudent risks. To maintain and enhance our ports' competitiveness will demand collaboration -- state and local assumption of responsibility -- to gain full advantage of the federal funds; go-it-alone is a bad deal for all.
There are plenty of reasons why targeted contributions from the Legislature and ports make political, social and business sense.
One in six jobs in Oregon are directly or indirectly tied to cargo, recreation, industrial, commercial or other activity at our ports. This makes Oregon one of our nation's most trade-dependent states, according to the Brookings Institute. Additionally, jobs related to exports pay 20 percent to 40 percent more on average than similar jobs with domestic markets. Oregon's trade-related employment grew 7.5 times faster than total employment, and its goods exports grew 34 percent faster than state GDP since 2002, according to a Business Roundtable report.
The dividends from investments in our ports are payable statewide -- to schools, local government service providers and the state's general fund -- judging by data from a recent study commissioned by Business Oregon and the Oregon Public Ports Association. For example, the seven Columbia River ports, excluding the Port of Portland, contribute $162 million ($48.7 million locally, $113.7 million to the state) in tax revenue. These ports generate nearly $856 million in annual income and 20,800 direct, indirect and induced jobs statewide.
Oregon's 15 coastal ports -- with 15,250 direct, indirect and induced jobs, gross sales of $1.9 billion-plus and local/state tax revenue payments of $88 million -- are adapting to new realities as their historic reliance on forest and fishing industries dwindles.
Each of Oregon's ports plays a central role in its community's prosperity and livability. These benefits are widely shared. The ports' land and transportation resources link farm and forest producers, food processors and machinery and electronics manufacturers to domestic and global markets.
Bluntly speaking, Oregon thrives when its public ports thrive. Our fortunes wane when they struggle. So the federal investment must be met by a thoughtful, strategic investment strategy from the governor and Oregon Legislature. It's the only way to make all the pieces fit together.
Mark Landauer is the executive director of the Oregon Public Ports Association

In a coincidental case of foreshadowing Tuesday, Times-Picayune Hornets beat writer John Reid authored an article that cast doubt on whether Tyson Chandler would return to action for the Hornets against Oklahoma City on Tuesday night after having missed the previous 12 games because of a sprained ankle
Little did we know how accurate - and permanent - would be that story.
Now, of course, we have to wonder whether a similar headline will apply to Chris Paul in the future, whether the superstar face of the franchise won't voluntarily decide to not return to action for the Hornets when his contract extension is complete, or a season before that.
In July 2008, Paul signed a four-year contract extension with the Hornets but, basically, it was a three-year deal because the fourth year is a player option. In other words, by choosing the shorter contract and player option and refusing to sign a five-year, maximum-money deal, Paul protected himself against the Hornets taking a step or two backward, ensuring he could get to free agency sooner if he didn't like the direction in which the franchise was going.
I'm guessing he might not have liked the path the franchise took Tuesday, when Chandler was traded to Oklahoma City in exchange for Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to a player whose name never might be called in an NBA arena.
Because from all appearances, the Hornets took a step backward with the trade.
Quality, starting centers are hard to find in the NBA and the Hornets swapped one in exchange for a couple of backups and salary cap relief. And if the latter was the prevalent motive - and it certainly appears to be - then the franchise undoubtedly risks frustrating its star.
It's hard to envision the Hornets being more capable of making a run in the playoffs without Chandler in the middle, rebounding and defending. It's hard to envision Smith and Wilcox being better fits for what New Orleans wants to do than was Chandler, who didn't blossom into a star with the Hornets but, certainly, developed into a player who was significantly improved compared to what he was in Chicago.
And if the Hornets don't equal or surpass their playoff appearance from last year, when they lost to San Antonio in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals, then there's no way the trade can be seen as a success. Because this isn't a team that was touted as one that would take a step back this year before (hopefully) taking a step forward next year. You don't go from winning a franchise-record 56 regular-season games, a playoff series and newfound adulation to looking like a team that might exit in the first round, and sell that as a team on the move.
Unless, of course, that move is downward.
And that leads to the possible Paul dilemma. Because if we haven't learned anything else about Paul, we've learned that he's ultra competitive, that he wants to win any contest at almost all cost, health be damned.
A guy who spills his guts every time he suits up for a game, who doesn't even know how to dial back in practice, likely isn't going to accept playing for a franchise that he doesn't believe is doing everything possible to win a championship. That's why he signs a shorter deal, to gauge the direction his team is going, to lessen the possibility of playing for a team that talks titles but acts more like it simply wants to say it's a title contender.
That's not saying we should ignore economic realities.
Hornets majority owner George Shinn doesn't want his team's payroll to exceed the salary cap, and doesn't want to pay a luxury tax, any more than the next franchise owner. He isn't any different than anyone else who wants maximum value for minimum dollar, and I'm sure he's well aware that teams have won championships while remaining within the confines of the salary cap.
But New Orleans traded Chandler too soon. It should've seen how far it could have gotten this season with its celebrated nucleus, then moved Chandler in the summer. Because it doesn't look like it wants to win now, doesn't look like it wants to challenge the Lakers and Spurs in the Western Conference, by trading its best interior defender.
At the end of the day, though, it doesn't matter whether the deal added up to the rest of us. What matters is whether it makes sense to Paul.
If it doesn't, and future moves follow along that line, then doubt soon can be cast on whether Paul will return to action for the Hornets, too.

SPRINGFIELD – Disgraced former narcotics detective Paul C. Barkyoumb pleaded innocent to cocaine distribution and firearms charges in Hampden Superior Court on Thursday, opening another chapter in his legal troubles.
Barkyoumb, 40, of Holyoke, was arraigned on two counts of cocaine distribution, and one count each of cocaine trafficking, violating a drug-free school zone, and possessing a large capacity feeding device for a firearm.
In an apparent courtesy to the former Holyoke police officer, Barkyoumb's arraignment was moved up 24 hours, allowing him to appear in court without facing news photographers or television cameras.
He was released on $25,000 bail after Judge Richard Carey ordered him to serve home detention with electronic monitoring. Under the judge's order, Barkyoumb is allowed to leave to attend religious services or medical or legal appointments.
A pre-trial conference was scheduled for Nov. 11.
A 17-year police veteran, Barkyoumb resigned in 2010 after pleading to a misdemeanor count of criminally harassing his ex-girlfriend.
The case came two years after Hampden Superior Court Judge Cornelius J. Moriarty barred prosecutors from using $2 million in seized cocaine from a Holyoke drug bust after concluding that Barkyoumb and a state trooper falsified information on an application for a search warrant.
Ten months after resigning from the Holyoke police force, Barkyoumb was caught in a drug sting staged by former colleagues on the Hampden County Narcotics Task Force.
The arrest in West Springfield – based on three alleged cocaine deals made between Barkyoumb and an informant on July 20 and July 21 – led to a five-count indictment handed down last week by a Hampden County grand jury.
Prosecutors said they have audiotapes of the three drug transactions involving Barkyoumb in West Springfield and Springfield.
If convicted on the trafficking charge, Barkyoumb faces a seven-year minimum mandatory state prison sentence.
His lawyer, Jeffrey S. Weisser of Agawam, refused to comment on the arraignment.

The Hoboken Planning Board meeting originally scheduled to discuss the Monarch at Shipyard project tomorrow night has been postponed.
The hearing was to start at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium of Wallace Elementary School, located at 1100 Willow Ave.
It is now scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 10.
This would have been the first time the condo project was presented before the city's planning board.
Back in March, the developer of the project had requested to move the hearing to April. It had subsequently been moved to June.
The Monarch at Shipyard project proposal is for two 11-story condo complexes on the corner of Sinatra Drive and Shipyard Lane. The Hoboken City Council and Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer have publicly stated their opposition to the development.
At the end of February, the Hudson County Planning Board voted 6-2 against the project.
Officials from the county planning board have previously said to gain county approval, the developer would have to revise their proposal before presenting it again to the board

TUCSON, Ariz. – Indiana State's Ryan Keaffaber (Wabash, Ind.) became the 11th Sycamore and the first since 2000 to be named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American Baseball team, selected by Collegiate Baseball, it was announced today (Wednesday).
Keaffaber was named the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year and completed his initial campaign with the Sycamores by posting a 3-2 record with a 3.26 earned run average. He recorded 11 saves on the season, the third best total in school history, as he appeared in 24 games and started three. In 60.2 innings of work, the freshman stopper gave up 46 hits and 24 runs while striking out 22 and walking 19 while holding opponents to a team best .212 batting average.
Left handed pitcher Mitch Stetter and third baseman Chris Hall were the last two players named to the Freshman All-American team and both in 2000. Stetter was also the only other Sycamore to be named MVC Freshman of the Year.
Casey Whitten (1991) is the only other Sycamore pitcher to be named to the Freshman All-American team. Also receiving the honor were third baseman Boi Rodriguez (1984), shortstop Dan Frye (1989), and outfielders Bob Zeihen (1984), Paul Frye (1985), Tim Riess (1987), Steve Ruckman (1990), and Dan Olson (1994).

A 48-year-old Covington man is being held in the St. Tammany Parish Jail based on accusations he choked and held his girlfriend under scalding water, then resisted the officers who tried to arrest him, according to the Covington Police Department. Terrance Silas Fritz, 48, is charged with one count each of attempted second-degree murder, domestic violence and resisting an officer.
According to a news release from Covington Police Capt. Jack West, police arrested Fritz at around 7:30 p.m. Sunday after a woman claimed her boyfriend, identified as Fritz, held her under scalding water and told her not to call police when he let her go.
The 31-year-old woman told police that she and her boyfriend got into an argument over a set of keys, West said. Once he let her go, the woman ran naked from the home in the 600 block of West 31st Avenue and asked a neighbor to call 9-1-1, West said.
Officers who arrived noticed skin coming off of the woman's shoulder and back - a result of second and third-degree burns, West said. Covington Fire Rescue and Acadian Ambulance took her to St. Tammany Parish Hospital, where doctors discovered she also had a dislocated shoulder, West said. She was transported to a burn unit outside of the parish, he said.
Covington Police officers had to force the door open to Fritz's home while Fritz tried to hold it shut, West said. He slammed the door in the officers' faces when they first approached, he said.
Officers used pepper spray to gain control, West said, then arrested Fritz and brought him to the St. Tammany Parish Jail.

The derelict buildings of an abandoned military installation in Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove are being occupied once again.
But instead of housing radar operators and airmen, the concrete structures at the Red Cliff Air Station have been hosting graffiti artists, campers and paintball players.
The buildings — some being swallowed up by surrounding vegetation — have been used as free walls by graffiti artists for several years.
Visible dates go back to 2009, but the practice of painting over previous work that is starting to fade and works by competing groups of painters make it difficult to determine the first use of the site for large graffiti pieces.
Graffiti art, along with some rushed tags, covers the inside walls of each building. One has even earned the label "The Art Gallery." The name is painted beside the main entrance.
Other buildings have been renamed by their users since the 1960s. A former radar tower building is now the "Fish Bowl."
The structures were built in 1951-'52 by the American military. They are about eight kilometres northeast of where the American air base at Fort Pepperrell was located.
According to remembrances of troops stationed at Red Cliff Air Station at the time, as well as unofficial historic sites such as Kevin Elliott's "Unofficial Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove Website," the station had 246 employees — 140 military personnel and 106 civilians — when it initially shut down in October 1961.
Today, an empty Red Bull can or stencil art of Paul Reubens in his PeeWee Herman bowtie are more likely to be found at the radar station than any type of surveillance equipment.
Outside the nearest concrete building, there's a hand-painted sign: "Paintball."
"Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat."
A paintball gun is firing.
At least five guys are playing the game around the "Fish Bowl" on this Wednesday morning. Brothers Mark and Luke Noftall are two of them.
The group is digging protective goggles from backpacks, loading ammunition and checking their weapons prior to the start of their game. They are all wearing dark clothing, with camouflage and bandanas mixed in.
Asked why they're there, they say it's a good place to play, with low cost, good layout and not a lot of people.
"We don't bug people at their houses and stuff. Like, we can't play this in our backyard," Luke says.
Loading his gun with paintballs, Mark agrees.
"No, you can't play in the city. So we're out of the range of normal people — we don't have to be bugging other people," he says.
"You can play at Frontline, but they charge. So instead of having to worry about paying extra fees, we can play ourselves up here. … It's just a bit of fun."
Meanwhile, inside the next building over, a tent is pitched. Outside the building, set inside a circle of rocks, there are the charred remnants of a campfire.
"Building" is a generous description, considering that much of the roof has caved in and the day's RDF has ominously made its way inside as well.
No one is seen around the campsite inside the building mid-morning.
Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove Mayor John Kennedy told The Telegram the town hasn't had any complaints about the use of the site, as far as he's aware. He wasn't surprised to hear people have been using the space.
"Since the East Coast Trail went through there, the amount of people that go through has been increasing," he said.
"I'd like nothing better than to see it all cleaned up."
A cleanup would be no small task considering the size of the concrete structures.
"If it's going to be cleaned up, it's going to be done by the provincial or federal government," he said.
Exactly who owns the property is unclear.
A portion of the area, about 1.2 hectares, is federally owned and under the control of Transport Canada. Yet according to a federal file on the property, that land doesn't include the derelict buildings.
"In all honesty, we're not really sure who owns what there," Kennedy said.
Steve Joy, office manager with the East Coast Trail Association, said he was aware of the history of the site, but could not say with certainty who is responsible for it. The East Coast Trail Association is not.
On April 30, 2003, the Red Cliff radar site was mentioned during a Government Services committee meeting at the House of Assembly. The meeting was to discuss budget estimates for the Department of Environment (now Environment and Conservation).
Then-MHA for Cape St. Francis, Jack Byrne, asked what was being done with the site.
"Particularly in Red Cliff, we haven't done much from the Department of Environment's perspective," said then-assistant deputy minister, Ken Dominie.
"We tried to get a handle last year on the land ownership up there, because there is a myriad of land ownership, some provincial, some federal and some that has been passed over to people like the Newfoundland telephone company. There is a variety of land ownership up there and it is very difficult to say to one person, one group or one government that they should take responsibility for that site.
"Essentially, I am not aware of any action being taken up on that site."
Byrne pressed the matter, saying the property should be cleaned up.
"There is a combination of responsibilities, I suppose, but it is something that I think should be looked at and is going to have to be looked at eventually," he said.
Dominie said determining who was responsible for what would be the first step.
The Telegram contacted Environment and Conservation to see if any progress had been made. A spokeswoman for the department said the property is split between federal, provincial and private ownership, with the Department of Transportation and Works responsible for the provincial portion. Who owns the buildings remained, despite best efforts, unclarified as of press time.

What: Shareholders of for-profit education company Education Management (Nasdaq: EDMC ) are smarting today, with their stock plunging as much as 22% following release of its second-quarter results.
So what: There's no way to sugarcoat it; these results were ugly! For the quarter, the company, which runs Art Institutes, Argosy University, and Brown Mackie Colleges, noted a 5% drop in student enrollments and saw profits fall to $0.49 from $0.61 in the year-ago period. Since its January quarter began, the company also pointed to a worsening 9% drop in student enrollment highlighted by an 18.5% drop in enrollments for fully online courses. For the trifecta, Education Management lowered its fiscal 2012 EPS range to $1.11-$1.15, which is markedly lower than its previous forecast of $1.34-$1.40.
Now what: Seriously, now what? I think Education Management has done enough to its shareholders for one day and should allow them to recover before hitting them with more poor news. I also don't think anyone of sound mind should consider today's drop a buying opportunity. The entire for-profit education sector is in a long, drawn-out, transition period and considerably more hiccups are to be expected in Education Management's future.

Using the simplest of visuals, Google has become one of advertising's most compelling storytellers. "Parisian Love," a sweeping story of romance told entirely through dynamic screen shots of Google searches, was a surprise hit on the 2010 Super Bowl. In 2011, the company expanded on that model for an inventive, infectious campaign for its Chrome browser under the line, "The Web is what you make of it." As the "Search Stories" campaign did in 2010, the Chrome spots stitched together remarkably affecting narratives entirely from screen shots, subject lines, keystrokes, and clicks—this time moving beyond the search bar to showcase Google products like Gmail, YouTube, and Google Maps. Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber lent star power to the campaign with ads showing how they built their empires online. But the campaign's crowning achievement was "Dear Sophie," a humbler execution, set to a simple piano score, that showed a young father using Google tools to fill a digital scrapbook with notes, images, and videos of his young daughter, which he intends to share with her "someday." The spot invariably leaves viewers choked up, and casts Google, often seen as a tyrant, as a facilitator of love. Data never felt so human.

See config for this.
I send a message on the inbound JMS queue which starts a transaction; once the message hits the outbound endpoint (which cannot participate in the transaction) the transaction is rolled back. This is the expected behaviour and with Mule 2.1, those were the results I used to get.
With Mule 2.2.1 I get different results. Tracing the transaction and endpoint-message notifications, I notice the following:
1) With both versions, the first notification is transaction_BEGAN
2) With both versions, the 2nd notification is MESSAGE_DISPATCHED
3) With both versions, the 3rd notification is MESSAGE_RECEIVED
4) With both versions, the 4th notification is TRANSACTION_ROLLEDBACK
With Mule 2.2.2, there are some more notifications:
I dug deeper and noticed that the message used in (6) above is identical to the first one except that the JMSRedelivery property is set to true. I set maxRedelivery="0" in my config thinking that the default had changed but this was not it.
Digging into the source, I found this in ActiveMqJmsConnector (line 73):
// redelivery = deliveryCount - 1, but AMQ is considering the first delivery attempt as a redelivery (wrong!). adjust for it
setMaximumRedeliveriesMethod.invoke(redeliveryPolicy, getMaxRedelivery() + 1);
Thinking that perhaps Mule is over-compensating, I set maxRedelivery="-1" and got the results I expected.
Note: Apart from the over-compensation, I don't think I should be allowed to set this attribute to a value less than zero ...
And which AMQ version is that? I know that this setting has been messed with a lot since 4.x. The compensation is required for 4.x (as explained in the source comment)
Ouch - the one detail I forgot to include ... sorry about that.
ActiveMQ 4.1.1
Andrew, Please raise this to critical if it is a regression and has no work around.
An issue was fixed with redelivery in 2.2 that does change the behavior of redelivery (correcting a problem that existed previously). Please see
MULE-4162. Is it possible that the fix for this issue uncovered a subtle change in AMQ behavior between versions? The Mule test suite runs against AMQ 4.1.2. Can you try your test with that version to see if it's any different?
I have just retested with AMQ 4.1.2 and have the same result - I need to set maxRedelivery to -1 before it will work
Also note that the number of consumers will affect the count, it's not absolutely reliable (depends on vendor implementation). What it really takes care of is 'once it's over the threshold, do something'. Have you tried with consumers count set to 1?
Thanks for the tip Andrew.
With ActiveMQ 4.1.2 and numberOfConsumers="1", I still get the problem and need to leave maxRedelivery="-1"
I tried with ActiveMQ 4.1.1 and numberOfConsumers="1" but still need to set maxRedelivery="-1"
I've added the complete mule-config.xml if it's of any help. The relevant part is the service I've already added, but you never know what may be affecting things
Attached test case too to show how I'm testing this configuration

Prince De Beauchene has been ruled out of the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday week.
The 10-year-old is suffering from a stress fracture in his ilium and will miss the race for the second year running after a hip problem also saw him sidelined in 2012.
Willie Mullins' charge had been among the leading contenders for the Aintree showpiece after winning over hurdles on his return and finishing second in the Bobbyjo Chase last time.
"We have had some bad news about Prince De Beauchene," the trainer told www.wpmullins.com.
"He had not been striding out for the last few days and following a bone scan at Troytown Veterinary Hospital, it has been confirmed he has a minor stress fracture in his ilium.
"He will require at least six weeks box rest, so unfortunately he will the Aintree Grand National."
Mullins and Prince De Beauchene's owner Graham Wylie still have ante-post favourite On His Own in the National field.
