Blue Jackets to rely on John Davidson's aggressive patience
By Stu Hackel
Click on the Blue Jackets website and you'll see John Davidson on the start page, the design of which looks strikingly like a campaign ad.
Is JD running for office? Senator Davidson? President Davidson?
Well, Ohio is a battleground state in next month's general election, with the parties spending an inordinate amount of resources to win its 18 electoral votes, so maybe the Blue Jackets' image consultants (or web designer) believes that the political motif is the best, most familiar way to get through to the team's fan base.
Or maybe this team has launched a campaign of its own, one to win its fans back. If so, it could have no better standard bearer.
John Davidson is a throwback, a hockey executive who is also a hockey guy and a people person. He's just what the Blue Jackets need as the face of this embattled franchise that has been mismanaged from the outset, adrift for too long, prone to mistakes of judgement and alienating its fans.
No one can be surprised that once Davidson's status as ex-President of the Blues (which we discussed here) was finalized earlier this month, someone else would come calling. The Blue Jackets are the worst team in hockey and that's what the Blues were when JD took over in St. Louis in 2006. The Jackets need someone to direct the efforts of their hockey department and repair their image. JD has done such things before and that's often the first and best qualification for any job.
Once upon a time long ago, before strikes and lockouts became the norm, the NHL had a lot of folks like John Davidson in key positions working for teams and in the league offices. In the parlance of the game, they were "classy" men and women, and if you worked in hockey, you aspired to be one of them. The culture of the game rested on the understanding that hockey was not the biggest pro sport, but it would be the best. Not only would it offer the best entertainment, but its players would be the most cooperative, the team personnel would be the most helpful, and the game's executives would be the friendliest in the industry. Everyone was in it together. Today, these seem like quaint, naive notions befitting a mom and pop operation, which in some ways the NHL was, and certainly how many outsiders viewed the sport.
If you know the history of the last 25 years or so, you know what happened. There was too much money involved and money changes everything. Eventually, lawyers and business people supplanted many of the hockey folks, and their values were different. It also mattered greatly that the cozy relationship the owners had long enjoyed with the leadership of the players union — at the expense of the players — ended. So things changed, and not always for the better.
Still, a few people-oriented figures remained on the scene and John Davidson was one of them. He's one of the best, an honest man with an abundance of integrity, qualities that are in short supply among hockey's leaders. "You can't blow smoke and fake your way through this," he said of the Blue Jackets needing a rebuild. It's refreshing to hear that, especially now when blowing smoke and fakery seem to be all hockey has to offer.
That's why when he introduced Davidson to Columbus yesterday, John P. McConnell, the Blue Jackets' majority owner, spoke of how he was initially impressed by the kind of person that JD is.
"I first spent some time with John a few months back," McConnell said, "and I bet each of you are going to have a similar experience as you get to know him better. In the first 10 or 15 minutes, it was like 'Wow, I really like this guy.' Two hours went by and he was leaving for the airport and I was absolutely certain this is a person I want to spend more time with both personally and professionally."
On the personal side, JD will be the guy out front, the face Columbus will see delivering whatever messages need to be delivered about their hockey club's progress. He'll use his plainspoken, engaging manner, his warm and assured voice, and his considerable sense of humor.
Professionally, Davidson has a plan to put the team on the path upward, one that is not overly elaborate, but one he's used before, one that any rebuilding organization would be wise to follow.
"The only way you're going to build a good club," he told Blue Jackets broadcaster Jeff Rimmer, "is one brick at a time. So we're going to sit down and have a a lot discussions about what bricks we have here, what bricks we need and how we're going to do that, building it one brick at a time and we're not going to deviate from that plan. I'm just telling you right now, we're not."
"I know how many points this team had last year," JD continued, sounding more and more like he's running for office. "I know how many points it takes to get into the playoffs and I know what it takes to get from this point to that point. And it's aggressive patience, if that makes sense. You want to be aggressive as an organization in the way you play. You want to be aggressive in doing your research. You want to be aggressive in working with players to get them in better shape, whether they're here or in the minors. You want to be aggressive but you also want to be patient with your plan. And that's the way we're going."
That might sound very much like a politician: lots of great concepts, but short on specifics. Davidson had yet to have his first meeting with his hockey operations department. He knows what he wants, however. "As a team on the ice, we will never be outworked," he said. "For the coaching staff, that's a mandate. They know. That's how you get somewhere. I remember the early days of this franchise coming in (when I was) with New York (as a Rangers broadcaster). I remember the playoff series with Detroit in 2009. The support here has been outstanding, and we'll get it going here again."
It's not going to be easy. The exasperated fans in Columbus look at the team's recent past and don't see much hope. The promise of a new start a year ago with Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski coming in fizzled and the underachieving Carter was eventually traded to Los Angeles where he helped the Kings win the Stanley Cup. The Jackets also jettisoned one of the game's very best bench bosses in Ken Hitchcock, last season's NHL Coach of the Year — who Davidson snapped up to lead the Blues to their long-awaited leap to elite status among the league's clubs. In August, the Jackets traded their marquee star, Rick Nash, and now have to replace his offense and leadership. They don't have a proven consistent NHL goaltender — and you know J.D., ex-goalie that he is, will be examining that situation closely.
They have three first round choices next June, but a history of bungling their drafts. Columbus has often rushed talented players into the NHL before they were ready for that step in an attempt to please the fans, who the club has always asked to be patient and who finally lost their patience last season.
Now one of the game's best communicators will be asking them for it again.
"The fans are going to see the players grow, and they're going to grow with them," Davidson said. "I'm not going to put a number on it; it's going to take time. But we're going to get there. And it's going to be a really good hockey club as we march along."
I'd vote for him.

Email Marketing to Drive Traffic, Keep Them Reading and up Your PageRank
Email marketing isn't flashy, shiny or even particularly new. If it were a car, it would be a 1992 Chevy pickup. Compared to the glamorous Mercedes SLS of social networking, it doesn't stand out. In fact, when you do bother to notice it, it probably looks a bit dirty and dingy.
But now is the time to be pumping more of your budget into your email marketing efforts. Email marketing goes beyond just alerting customers to sales and distributing coupons: it can also drive traffic to your site to up your PageRank and provide solid SEO value by its very nature.
Driving traffic
When used correctly, there's nothing better than email marketing to up traffic to your website. There's a pretty broad line to walk between spamming people and giving them relevant content in the SEO world. The same applies to emails.
Never send an email that's not valuable to the reader. It may be as simple as a newsletter with great tips or as personalized as a story you know your reader would be interested in. If you're in retail, a coupon is a failsafe to ensure that your readers are paying attention. Otherwise, a nice giveaway or a timely holiday tip will draw readers into your site.
A smooth landing
If your readers click through to your site, they should be seeing a specially designed landing page to welcome them. What your landing page will feature will depend on what was in the email. If you're advertising a sale, consider having a page with the sale's name in the center and photographs of the different categories surrounding it. Clicking on the photo will bring you to the category's usual listing. Clicking on the sale's name will bring you to a list of all items on sale.
For content-driven sites, landing pages should be either a roundup of the best articles of the week, or a single story. A text-based landing page is a great way to use some time-sensitive keywords that center on holidays and events. Design-oriented web pages should use either plain HTML or HTML 5 to get the most out of their keywords. Anything written on a Flash-based page won't be visible, so don't waste time packing keywords into it.
And a little SEO
Newsletters are one of the best ways to get fresh, relevant content on your site. An archive section full of articles talking about your industry is going to show both your customers and Google that you're a leader in the field who deserves to be noticed.
Newsletters should reflect that you're an expert in your field. You don't need to burden subscribers with high-minded talks about schools of thought in the shoe industry between colored and uncolored soles, but you can always talk about how to take care of leather boots or cleaning tennis shoes properly.
The information should be directly relevant to your audience, whoever that may be.
Add keywords to the article in relevant places, but don't pack it too full. If the language becomes too dense with words that don't make sense within the text, readers are going to reach for the unsubscribe button.
Email is the workhorse of marketing tactics. It needs to be deliberate and well-executed, but it has the potential to drive passive subscribers into active consumers.

Yes. Email Marketing is one of the best methods to drive the traffic for our website and getting good improvement in the page rank. As mentioned above SEO also plays some important role to get good results. Good informative post.
Henry Louis Reply:
November 4th, 2011 at 9:12 amWell said Thomson. As mentioned in this article, email marketing is very helpful in getting good traffic to our site and improve the page rank.
What an excellent article. Even though we have been using search engine optimization for the few months that we've been open, utilizing Constant Contact and emailing our subscribers have been truly beneficial in bringing in new clientele.
Above all else, a STRONG call-to-action is required so we incorporate certain time limits on some of our food and catering offers.
Thanks for the reminder!
Awesome post. Although there are now very many ways for one to market himself or herself online it is also very important to do email marketing. Although it is an old method it still works well and it can increase your traffic to a significant level.
Thank you for the tips. Do you have any recommendations for a good email marketer? We have experimented with a few and have not found one that we love. Any recommendations would help! Thanks!

You are not going to find a better deal on everything you need to get started rock climbing. Bought this kit after my first experience top-roping and now having more knowledge on equipment and prices this was definitely the right choice! Plus they through in a discount when I was at the store #Winning.
I recently started climbing again and bought this set during the climbing sale. It is very easy to put on and comfortable while climbing and belaying. The string on the chalk bag is really long so it is not easy to tie in/hook onto the harness, but the string is wide enough to pull over my head and shoulders so that it sits around my waist while I climb.
Love it! This set was the perfect way for me to get started on my climbing gear. I'm a beginning climber, and this package was affordable and totally worth the money. The harness is comfortable and cute (bonus!), and pretty self-explanatory (again...beginning climber). The fact that it comes with chalk bag, chalk, belay device, and locking beaner totally took the sticker shock out of climbing for me. I would recommend this to any woman looking to get serious about climbing!
I really like this harness! I have been rock climbing for about two months and the straps are very comfortable. I feel really great while climbing and the chalk bag and sock work beautifully. I think it's really great deal, buy one!
I love how comfortable the harness is much more comfortable than the harnesses I was renting from the gym! I love that there is one strap the tighten the waist it's better than the double straps in my opinion. I also like how there are no hanging straps when it's on that way nothing is in the way or gets tangled. The chalk bag is a little small but still serves its purpose. The screw caribener is ok but I much prefer the auto locking ones. Overall a great package and awesome harness.
For anyone looking to start out their protection and rock climbing gear this kit it GREAT. You save SO MUCH money by going this way.The harness is sleek and modern, yet comfortable.The locking carabiner and belay device are standard and non complicated. The chalk bag is standard and a good size. Black Diamond so it is built to last and it comes with 1 non-refillable chalk shot that would last a 5th grade teacher her entire teaching career.Again perfect for any starter or someone who has been borrowing/renting for a long time and is finally ready for their own first set.
I spent a good time in the climbing gym taking down and putting up new route and was slightly uncomfortable after 1 hour hang out on the wall! The chalk bag is literally just the chalk bag with a string attached, not the most useful, I bought a carabiner to clip it on. The belay device and screw lock carabiner was the great added bonus to save money in the packaged deal.
This package is a great way to get started if you're looking to get your own gear for the first time. The harness is good quality, not too bulky and padded, but still comfortable to wear, even on all day. The chalk that comes with the set is very nice and grippy, not the poor quality I was expecting from this starter package. All in all, great choice for anyone who just wants to get on the rock and climb and isn't looking for anything too flashy. (also, quite thankfully, the chalk bag my set came with was gray, not the ugly clashing orange in the picture. Because matching is of paramount concern in all climbing gear.)
After renting for a few weeks at my local gym, I finally buckled down and bought my own gear ... I wish I had done so after my first climb! The extra padding (at least compared to rental harnesses) is nice for belaying. The clasps for tightening the leg loops were a little weird at first, but I like the continuous band so I don't have to worry about double-backing. The screw-lock carabiner / ATC are also very smooth and easy-to-use. My only complaint is that the chalk bag only comes with a string, so I still need to buy a small carabiner or clip for myself so that I can attach/remove the bag more quickly (I like to share, and a lot of my friends still rent).

To the Top of this Page
This page contains a story about Mbuna Cichlids living in a large aquarium in a restaurant, named Giselle's.
Mbunas are a large group of Cichlids that live among and near the piles of rocks along the shores of Lake Malawi in East Africa. Many Mbunas are very colorful with bright patterns of horizontal stripes or vertical bars. Click here for more about buying Mbuna Cichlids from us.
Click on the images above.
Giselle's Restaurant Many years ago I knew a wealthy middle aged man who thought Giselle's was such a great name for a restaurant that there just had to be a restaurant by that name, but there wasn't, so he started one. At least that's the way he explained his reasoning to me at the time.
He twisted my arm, until I agreed to put an 80-gallon aquarium in his new restaurant right by the entrance, and I had to agree to take care of this aquarium too. He paid me for the aquarium, and the fish, and everything including paying me generously for the time I spent in his restaurant. But I was busy with my fish, and I wasn't too interested in his aquarium.
He wanted the brightest fish available, like the marine fish he'd seen in another restaurant, but I knew nothing about keeping marine fish in an aquarium. So I put about 25 Mbuna Cichlids from Lake Malawi in the aquarium. I think there were 4 or 5 Auratus, some Kenyi, Pindani, and Red Zebras. It made a nice colorful mixture.
All the fish were between 1.5 and 2" long. My friend, the owner, took a long look at the aquarium and said in a quiet voice, "This aquarium looks like a fish ghost town and needs more fish a lot more fish." So I put in another 15 Mbunas plus 3 nice Synodontis Catfish.
Most of the aquariums were bare with no gravel, and I'd set his aquarium up the same way with no gravel, but now I added about 1/4" inch of gravel. I also added 8 to 10 tall plastic plants and two large piles of reddish lava rock. I knew these rocks were non-toxic and safe in fresh water aquariums.
The 1/4" thick layer of gravel wasn't deep enough to anchor the plastic plants, so I wedged the bases of the plants under the rocks, and the plants looked like they were growing up from among the rocks. I knew these Mbuna Cichlids didn't need gravel, or rocks, or plastic plants, but I was trying to satisfy the owner of the restaurant.
After I finished adding these decorations, I stood back from the aquarium to see how the aquarium looked, and I was surprised to see that the aquarium was dazzlingly beautiful. The parts seem to fit together: the fish, the rocks, the gravel, and the plastic plants made a beautiful combination, and everyone really loved it. The cook and the waitresses would take breaks and sit in front of the aquarium right by the front door.
The restaurant was on my way home, so I'd stop in each day, feed the fish, and do a few minutes of maintenance. But soon it got to be kind of complicated. Not the fish or the aquarium. That was all fine, but I'd always have a long discussion with someone about the aquarium.
One day the cook wanted to know everything about the flake fish food I was feeding to the fish. The next day there was a customer who said the fish were so beautiful that they had to be marine fish and couldn't possibly be freshwater fish.
"No," I said, "they are actually from a huge freshwater lake in east Africa where they live among large piles of rocks, and these piles of rocks in the huge freshwater lake might be something like coral reefs in the oceans, and that might somehow explain why these fish were brightly colored like coral reef fish."
"No, no," he said, "they have to be marine fish." I dipped my finger in the aquarium, tasted the water, and said, "This is fresh water."
"Oh god," the guy said, "that's disgusting, tasting the water", and he said he thought I was still lying, and it was really salt water with salt water fish in spite of what I said, and he wasn't going to taste the water either.
Another problem was one of the waitresses, named Charlene, who insisted on helping me. She wanted to feed the fish about 8 to 10 times a day. She'd feed them more than they could eat and cause lots of problems. She was tall and beautiful, and I was pretty young at the time. She was maybe 5 years older than I was, but I had to remind her sternly a couple of times not to feed the fish more than they could eat.
After a couple of months she improved and was very good at taking care of the fish and the aquarium. She'd talk about how much she loved her fish to anyone who'd listen to her, she had cute names for several of them, and I noticed that a lot of the men listened to her talk about her fish named "Blue", "Jackson", and "Slim".
One day Charlene was very agitated and reported to me that one of the fish wasn't eating. She pointed her finger and said, "See there it is hiding in those rocks, it won't come out, and its mouth looks kind of swollen and funny." I glanced at the fish and immediately saw it was a female with a big mouthful of eggs.
My brother and I had bred many thousands of these Mbuna Cichlids by then, and I immediately recognized a pregnant female. Charlene was overcome with curiosity, and had me explain all about mouth brooding cichlids. Then she started worrying about the female not eating and where were we going to keep the babies and on and on.
The next time I came into Giselle's Restaurant, Charlene was explaining everything to Pauli, the cook, and a couple of other men. Charlene would emphasize something about "mouth breeding" and look at me for approval, but I'd say, "mouth brooding", and she'd say, "That's right they don't really breed with their mouths, the females brood the babies in their mouths." Pauli would give me a big wink, smile, and look back at Charlene. The other guys were winking and smiling too.
But Charlene never seemed to pay any attention to them, she just wanted to talk about her fish, her aquarium, her babies, and what was she going to do about this and that, and she'd always stand quite close to me. I'd notice that her perfume was kind of nice, and she always had some little ornament that caught my eye, that I'd be looking at while she was asking me all about the eggs spots on the males fins, and saying that these fish were lots of fun, and on and on.
But then I'd realize, "Hey, I've still got a lot to do tonight. I'm late for dinner, and I've got to get out of this place." So I'd be saying good-by while Charlene was following me out the door with one more question.
Then there was a very nice guy, named Larry, who owned a Swenson's Ice Cream Parlor right next door to the restaurant. He'd hear I was in the restaurant, or sometimes he'd even be waiting for me, and he was just captivated by the aquarium and the beautiful fish. He'd have an hours worth of questions. Talking about the aquarium seemed to be his #1 Priority.
Larry's customers would come into the restaurant from the Ice Cream Parlor and want to get an ice cream cone, but Larry would just keep talking about the aquarium, and so we'd all be standing around by the aquarium agreeing over and over with Larry about how beautiful it was.
I just couldn't ever get out there in less than an hour and a half, and I was a busy young guy. I was also trying to keep my weight down, and the cook, Pauli, would always bring me out a big plate of manicotti or something special, and I hadn't had dinner so I'd gobble it down, and then he'd be back with another bowl of something and want to talk about his cooking, the food I was feeding to the fish, what did I think about Charlene, and what was this mouth breeding she was talking about?
The owner thought all this excitement and interest was great. He'd never say anything about the aquarium, but when he was there, he'd usually stand by the aquarium and listen to Larry, and the cook, and Charlene, the waitress, and a customer or two talk about his beautiful aquarium. The owner would never complain about his employees wasting time on the aquarium.
Somewhere in the conversation somebody would mention that this was the most beautiful aquarium they'd ever seen, and the owner would nod his head back and forth and smile to everyone.
Anyway there were about 40 cichlids in the aquarium in the beginning, but before long they had grown an inch or so, and there were a few too many fish. Of the 40 Mbunas, 4 or 5 just didn't grow, and 4 or 5 grew to be much bigger. I would take out the smallest ones and the biggest ones. That way the smallest wouldn't get picked on, and the biggest wouldn't pick on the other fish in the aquarium.
Incidentally, I took some of these small Mbunas home with me and put them in my aquarium where there weren't any big fish, and the small Mbunas, that hadn't grown much in the restaurant, began to grow normally in my aquarium.
Eventually, the 80-gallon aquarium in Giselle's Restaurant had about 20 Mbunas all about 4" long and the 3 Synodontis catfish. For many years this aquarium was a local landmark.
Many people went out of their way to stop in to see it and to hear a story or two about the beautiful fish. Some even went out and bought a big aquarium, and copied everything including getting about 40 Mbunas, and then removing the biggest and smallest as the fish grew.

"Woh, woh, woh. Who said anything about running a ship? I just said sailing a ship." Responds to Dyre to Galandra. His arms cross over his chest and he looks over toward the younger man.
"Are we now running the ship? Because if we do, I gotta think up a good 'n' salty name." One hand undocks from the crook of his arm. It reaches up and he strokes along his chin, like kelp waving beneath the waves.

Galandra shrugs at the man "I know nothing of boats... but I do know about harsh times for a village. I'll help anyway I can... and it seems you can take care of that sailing stuff, right?"

ø Ignore MalusNecessarius"I'm still learning the worth of all this shiny metal, I didn't have enough to get to where I wanted. I was told there was more work here." she says, before taking in the rugged looking crew that had assembled "I only left my room an hour ago, it seems the trader spoke truth."

"Well, you're in luck. I know something of boats." Dyre flashes a grin toward the two currently assembled here. He pulls up a hand, inspecting his fingernails as he says to the other two.
"Yyyyep. Grew up with a salty dog as me father, he raised me to swing from the crow's nest and steer true to the wind. But, most importantly... he told me what a true sailor's favorite spice is." He looks up from his nails to everyone in the room, glancing between them all as he asks, "You of course all know, right?"

Parinon makes his way into the room and takes a seat. He sits stiff and looks around anxiously at the much more seasoned men that had come in.
"I don't know alot about boats, but I'm young strong and can follow orders. I'm all yours if you need my help." Offers the young and homely boy.

Muttering to himself, "Well, the mayor said to get four to six, and I got four and a half. That should work." Turning his thoughts to you instead of the mission, "Thank you for coming to hear me. Please have a seat. As I said, I am from Carinsharn. We are just a small village to the north, up the coast. We are isolated by the swamps that we work, and receive are supplies by riverboat that should come every two weeks. Well, one has not come in three months now. Things are getting desperate. The mayor sent me out to get help. He sent me because I am a fast runner and I could find my way through the swamps without too much trouble."
*cough* *cough* "Well, I made it here, but the swamps were not kind in giving me up."
"Mayor Hilgashem gave me money to hire up to six people to guard the next shipment. If I counted the dawns right, that will be tomorrow morning that they leave this City of Glass. He also gave me a writ of passage for the the ship captain to get you on board. We don't know what the problem is. So, I am asking you to sail with the riverboat, up the sea coast line and into the Carinsharn River. Protect the boat and its supplies until it gets to our village, also called Carinsharn." He places a watertight scroll tube in the center of the table. Pulling out a small coin purse, he tosses out three coins in front of each of you. "There are seven more of those awaiting each of you when you reach Carinsharn."
"It is not my decision as to what work you do on the boat. The captain gets that decision. I like the look of you, because you carry bows and crossbows. Very useful I would guess at sea. And you carry swords and axes. So, I assume you know how to fight." Looking at the short grey one, "The mayor said to not be unkind to different looking ones. They are many out here in the City of Glass. You have been noble to come and volunteer, so I will accept you." His own words seem to be making him nervous about the social faux pas.
"Me, I am a tree farmer. I, and the other druids, help harvest the darkwood of the swamp and have it shipped back here to Venza. The mayor picked me because I was the young one. I could sneak past the gators and snakes to get out of the swamp, coming as the crow flies instead of the long way along the river and then seashore."
"Do you have any questions?"
Monday, 5th November, 2012, 03:49 AM #20
"Arrrregano!" He says in response to his own question, of course he soon falls quiet as the man begins to talk. He frowns a bit, but his eyes dance to the coin. They look to it and the wheels seem to be slowly cranking in that head of his.
'(12+2)*4/6... carry the three, equals. Profit!' As the man finishes talking, Dyre quickly stands up to his feet and reaches out for the three coins with gusto! "Yes! Where is this boat, and how long will the journey take? Because I think I promised someone, at some time, within the next month, to drop by and visit their possible shop down town. But I'm not sure." He rotates one of the coins back and forth between thumb and index finger all while asking the question, then finishing, bites it lightly.
"I think that only works with gold, but it looks good to do anyway. So, seriously, how long's the boat ride?"

Government Questions Whether Mobile App Companies Violate Child Privacy
Thursday, December 13th, 2012
The Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether mobile apps marketed to children may violate kids' rights to privacy, and may be misleading parents with confusing and inaccurate privacy policies. The FTC has already identified a number of companies that are engaging in the dubious practices, tracking children's mobile behaviors without the consent of parents. The FTC is also poised to vote on a new set of rules that would limit such companies' ability to track pre-teens on their mobile devices. The Washington Post has more:
"The agency and the Obama administration have pushed for stronger protections for children who are spending more time than ever online, thanks largely to the proliferation of smartphones and tablets in homes and schools.
While current law puts strict limits on advertising to children in print or on television, it provides fuzzier guidance on mobile technology, which can be far more invasive. Tech companies, for instance, can instantaneously locate a user, track a person's social-media habits or keep a record of every Web site visited.
Those kinds of data, however sensitive to parents,have allowed companies to target ads and develop programs for children with a kind of precision that wasn't available just a few years ago. The push by the government to update child privacy rules has faced resistance from Silicon Valley giants, including Facebook, Apple and Google, as well as the companies developing mobile apps. While they agree that children should be afforded special protections, they also argue some of the proposals would stifle a nascent and innovative industry.
Still, the FTC said it would launch "multiple" investigations into mobile apps companies that may have violated laws on deceptive practices or the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a 1998 law that public interest groups say badly needs an update. The agency declined to identify the names or the number of companies that it would target in its probes."

SCRC Poll Has LSU, Tennessee at Top |
Colleges - Men's DII College |
After much debate, the results are in for the inaugural Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference Pre-Season Poll. It was a close seeding, though rounding out the top three in the West are Louisiana State, Auburn, and Alabama, with Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina expected to sweep the East. All twelve members were asked to predict what they thought the SCRC standings would look like prior to the conference championship on April 15th, 2012. The inclusion of two former Premier Division teams has expectations high for each, though several teams are looking to prove themselves in the inaugural season. The following is the complete vote for both divisions:
Western Division 1. Louisiana State 2. Auburn 3. Alabama 4. Mississippi 5. Mississippi State 6. Arkansas (N/A) Eastern Division 1. Tennessee 2. Florida 3. South Carolina 4. Georgia 5. Vanderbilt 6. Kentucky
Western Division Louisiana State had its ups and downs last fall, with a few key players getting hit by the "injury bug," though the Tigers are confident in their recovery and are ready to take to the pitch. "Although we have a lot of young, new players, we have a group of competitive athletes with proven toughness," said Inside Center Marc Dunn on graduating nine of their starters. Following a third place showing in last fall's Southeastern Olympic Sevens Rugby Championship, the Tigers are well on their way of regaining that competitive edge. Louisiana State is also transitioning well with new Head Coach Bob Causey at the helm, following longtime head Coach Scott McLean's retirement. Some have called this the "New LSU Rugby," though there is no argument that the former Premier Division squad will do well this season. Auburn's backline may be fairly new to college level play, though the Tigers have always proven themselves to be a consistent contender in the West. Auburn is excited to be a part of the Southeastern Conference, though they are especially excited to have a new head coach for the first time in many years in former player David Bess. Not only will the Tigers have new leadership at the helm, they will also benefit from a well experienced pack that they intend to use this year. Auburn looks forward to their home field advantage against Louisiana State for a possible upset in the West. Alabama, the 2007 Deep South Champions and winners of last fall's Dixie Classic Tournament, are counting on strong leadership and experienced players to carry them through the season. The depth chart for the Crimson Tide has improved greatly this past year with more and more players finding their way to try line. Their strength is in the pack, though do not overlook the experience of their backline. Alabama looks forward to their match ups against in-state rival Auburn to prove who truly is the best team in the state. Mississippi is very excited to compete in their first ever Division I season as a member of the SCRC. The Rebels have a somewhat young team, boasting only three seniors, and a handful of very good juniors. Fifth year senior and South select side player Brad Yandle and "team workhorse" senior Kaan Onay will be heading up the backline as the two centers in the midfield. Mississippi has some promising freshmen and has seen some great crowds at recent matches. "Our close loss in the fall against Alabama has given us the perspective that we need to meet our goals in the future," said Brad Yandle. "This year you will see a level of rugby in Ole Miss that far exceeds the league's expectations." Hotty Toddy! Mississippi State has struggled in recent years, and as one of the smaller teams in the conference, their numbers may hurt them temporarily in the SCRC. The Bulldogs look to beat expectations with a committed group of players that are looking to chip away at the football mentality of Starksville. Coaches are looking to flyhalf Jeff Pilgrim to lead the backline and scrumhalf Corey Outlaw to use his athleticism to open up their game. "This will be a year for State to find its identity and determine where we stack up against the rest of the SCRC" said Backs Coach Renaldo Arroyo. Eastern Division Tennessee is the consensus choice to claim the Eastern title. With seven national tournament appearances, two South Territory championships and four Southeastern Tournament championships, the SCRC expects great things this season. The Vols took the top spot in last fall's Southeastern Olympic Sevens Rugby Championship and were invited to the USA Rugby Collegiate Olympic Rugby Championship where they finished in the top tier. After a successful season in last year's Premier Division, Tennessee will be returning to its old stomping grounds for what is expected to be great competition moving forward. Florida has long been a competitive force in the South and is currently the South DI defending champs. The 4th ranked Gators catapulted to the Round of 8 last year before dropping a close match to Boling Green. If seven-a-side rugby is any indicator to how well Florida will perform this year, its SCRC opponents better be prepared. The Gators earned second place in last fall's Southeastern Olympic Sevens Rugby Championship and were invited to the USA Rugby Collegiate Olympic Rugby Championship where it earned wins against well-established programs. Looking ahead, the Gators will be heading to Philadelphia in June to participate in the CRC Sevens tournament on NBC. South Carolina finished strong last fall with a 9-0 record, including 6-0 in regulation match play. Highlights from the season include defeating long-time ACRL rivals Clemson and North Carolina and winning the Palmetto State Championship. The Gamecocks have been nationally ranked the last few years, currently sitting at 11th in RugbyMag's Top 25. With the core of the team returning this spring, joined by a strong freshman class, South Carolina looks to continue their success in the SCRC matrix with much of its tougher competition, Tennessee and Florida, traveling to Columbia. Georgia has recruited heavily in the off season and now joins South Carolina in promoting three full sides each weekend. The Bulldogs have a lot to bark about with a top tier finish in last fall's Southeastern Olympic Sevens Rugby Championship, as well as wins last spring against in-state ACRL rival Georgia Tech and neighboring SCRC rival South Carolina. "In preparation for the SCRC matrix these past few weeks, our team has been scrimmaging with a newfound enthusiasm," said Georgia Team President Stephen Turnbull. "The introduction of sevens has truly improved our backline, and we feel if we do well against Florida & South Carolina, winning being the ultimate goal, that we have reached the next level for our program." Georgia is scheduled to host Florida for their first match. Vanderbilt makes their move to Division I this year as they look to encounter much stiffer competition in the SCRC. While the Commodores are no stranger to the likes of Auburn, Ole Miss, and Alabama, they will now have to compete favorably against well-established DI opponents Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia all on the road if they hope to move into the upper tier of the SCRC. Visiting teams would be well advised not to take a trip to Nashville lightly, though. As defending champions of the Division II Southeastern Conference, Vanderbilt may pull a surprising upset or two and cause a shakeup in the standings. Kentucky, like their counterpart in the West, has struggled in recent years, and as one of the smaller teams in the conference, their numbers may also hurt them temporarily in the SCRC. While many believe the past is a good indicator of future performance, the Wildcats are looking to turn those expectations upside down. Kentucky has successfully made the transition to Division I, and with an increased focus on organization and leadership, they may just have the pieces in place for a successful season. The Wildcats are looking for some home field magic as they are set to host Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia this season. The Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference is a USA Rugby Men's Collegiate Division I rugby conference featuring teams from the universities in the Southeastern Conference. The inaugural conference competition features the traditional East / West Divisional contest with a 4 team championship playoff weekend. The winner of the SCRC will play in the USA Rugby Division I national championships round of 16 on April 28th. For more information, please visit www.SoutheasternRugby.org |

The Erik Caron Connection is currently on a two-week busking tour down the East Coast, leaving their home base in Alton Bay, New Hampshire, just a few days ago. The trio stopped for a brief visit in Asheville, only to find a surprisingly supportive community and at least one offer of a paying gig. The latest word from the band is that they'll be sticking around until Saturday, so there's a good chance you can catch them live if you like what you hear. The group is also blogging about their experiences and posting ongoing updates to their Twitter feed.
