Description*NOTE: Carbon Sleeved Muffler Shown For Display Purposes Only.Our engineers developed the CRF250R exhaust using experience gained developing the system for our CRF450R exhaust and it works brilliantly. Yoshimura has been the official exhaust
supplier to Team Honda Racing for several years now and we
have adapted that knowledge to the new CRF250R. Since the CRF250R
shares many features and parts as it's big brother, it was an obvious
choice which system to provide. All of that experience has helped
Yoshimura in making an exhaust that compliments an already great bike. The new RS-4D builds on the
technology that has made the RS-4 a force to be reckoned with on the
racetrack, enhancing it's rock solid performance. By increasing the
amount of open area at the exhaust outlet, the RS-4D increases airflow,
resulting in smoother power delivery and increased throttle control. Testing has shown it offers increased horsepower and
torque throughout the power curve, especially in the bottom to mid RPM
range where riders need it most. This Full System comes with a Titanium header and mid-pipe, Titanium muffler sleeve, Carbon Fiber Dual-Outlet End cap, installation hardware, and detailed instructions to get you moving! Titanium Full Systems come with a AMA Pro Racing sound inserts installed in the muffler. Low-Volume Insert and Spark Arrestor Chart |

Way back when I began Today's Inspiration in 2005, the first artist I featured was Bob Jones. I'm a very big fan of Bob's artwork. Back when I was preparing to write about his career, I was a thrilled (and bit star-struck) to be speaking on the phone with the creator of the Esso Tiger, one of Mad magazine's cover artists and a member of the famous Charles E. Cooper studio. Bob is a real gentleman and gave me all the time in the world. He also has a really soothing voice - he could have done radio!
Bob is a tremendously versatile and talented artist. The 'realistic' style he used for the romance stories he illustrated in the Saturday Evening Post (and many other major magazines of the late '50s and early '60s) are every bit as gorgeous and beautifully designed as those of his peers at the Cooper studio.
Recently Bob's kids must have stumbled across my series of posts on their dad from 2009. It brought a smile to my face to read their comments. There's nothing I like better than hearing the personal anecdotes that describe so much about the human quality of the artists whose work I admire.
"You have some really cool stuff [about my dad]," commented Pete Jones. "Thanks for the tribute. I am going to see him on Block Island in two weeks. He is still painting for pleasure."
Then a day or so later: "This is my Dad too... My brother Pete just sent this to me. Pete, those photos are of Dad. I saw the originals. I was only 4 when the Esso Tiger thing started. I remember we had Esso Tiger costumes that we wore for Hallowe'en."
"When Dad moved his studio home I remember wandering into his studio in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I would crawl onto his lap and watch him work. When I fell asleep he would put me back in bed. For years I thought Dad never slept because he always seemed to be awake in his studio."
"Years later I told Dad what I thought. He got a good laugh about that."
"I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful dad. I am glad his work is appreciated."
And yes, it absolutely is. If you're interested in seeing more of Bob Jones' work and reading about his career, here are the links to my earlier posts:
Bob Jones in Grade 2: "Well, this is what I'm going to do!"

text: We owe the word "sneaker" in our vocabulary to Keds. Being the first rubber sole and canvas top shoe, they coined the term because their rubber sole allowed for "sneaking" without making a noise. Keds chose their name, originally wanting to name them Peds – after feet in Latin – but the name was already taken. Keds makes sneakers as well as other casual shoes, that range in many different styles and colors, while still keeping to their original esthetic. Keds grew particularly popular in the 80s and 90s taking a big part in the fashion trends of the time. Whether worn with leg warmers, stocking, skirts or short, Keds completed any outfits and were featured in many popular television shows and films, such as Saved by the Bell, Happy Days, Family Matters, 7th Heaven and Dirty Dancing. Today, Keds have made a very big comeback, and are seen all over the streets worn by all kinds of people with different styles.

Making the Decision about Adoption
For some, deciding to adopt can be a reluctant step into a world of strangers. For others, it's a natural next step to parenthood. If you've experienced infertility, you may have already considered adoption.
One major hurdle that many couples and singles must make is giving up their dreams of a baby born of their lifeblood. This grief process can take months, even years.
"How can I welcome a 'stranger' into my heart?" you may ask. Take time to explore your feelings. Be gentle with yourself. Getting to "yes" in adoption requires looking at your fears and concerns. Some common questions:
- How will I know if the birth mother has taken care of herself during pregnancy? What if she smoked? took drugs? drank alcohol?
- Will my parents and family love my child as much as his/her cousins?
- Will I be able to love this child fully?
- Will my child yearn to reunite with his/her birth mother and eventually search for her?
- Will the adoption social worker "approve" me?
- What about the baby's gene pool? Will some congenital illness surface later on? Will Baby be as intelligent as me?
- Do I want a baby from another country or culture, or one who looks like me?
- Can I afford it?
Welcome these questions.
- Explore them on the Internet, with friends, a therapist, or support group.
- Seek out others who've adopted. Talk with them freely.
Uncertainties can often mingle with a sense of joy of laying your hands on a longed-for baby. To borrow from the infertility literature, "Adoption might not be a first choice, but it doesn't make it second best."
Good places to start exploring adoption options are the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, and U.S. Deptartment of Health and Human Services.

A piece created at Thwaites Mill in Leeds. Our project was based on site specificity. My intention was to select a part of the mill that had been neglected. I chose an embankment which was made up from discarded objects and rubble. I wanted to give this piece of land its own voice. To release this spot of lands 'voice' I decided to build an instrument into the ground. The sound/music of this mound can then be released through a vessel. Every item used in the construction of the piece was found at the site. To release the noise you must turn the stick anti-clockwise, to simulate turning back time to hear the sounds of the past. The stick was used to make it seem as though you have to churn the land to discover the music. The inside components are built inspired by the workings in the mill, but have been altered using my own ideas. The sound created is a way of giving the land it's own voice in this mill site, and not a replica of the sound found in the mill itself.
The video worked out being more successful then expreiencing the 'Instrument' in person. Due to a limit in time, elements in the piece were unable to be fully figured out, leaving the piece sounding rather quiet. Against the sound of the nearby wear it struggled to stand out as much as I'd hoped. This is an idea I'd hope to push further in the future. The context will be different, but with a better setting and an extended time-scale the results should be much improved.

Cheap hotels in Vasastaden, Stockholm
Neighborhood Description
North of Norrmalm and the Central Station lies Vasastaden, an alternately sleepy and upscale hood. Featuring glorious Vasaparken, Observatorielunden, Vanadislunden, and the cute Tegnerlunden park square, Vasastaden does not hurt for greenery, a fact that makes the neighborhood perfect for summer strolling.
Cafés along Odengatan are polished, home to the well-coiffed and neatly-attired swank set. Sveavägen is a bit hipper, in part due to the media-rich area just to the east of Sveavägen. Studios, IT offices, and other offices focusing on media concerns can be found here.

Still pining for a 3D home theater? There are ways to add those effects into your home setup, all without having to upgrade your current equipment. We're seeing some 3D converter options pop up and out—literally. See, they can actually transform your good-old 2D content into something with in-your-face effects.
Like most other 3D equipment, however, converters aren't always an inexpensive option. At least they aren't on most other days. For today only, the website 1SaleADay is selling the 3D Video Wizard Converter for just $29.99. The package typically sells for $149.99, probably because it doesn't just include the converter console. It also comes with a remote, an HDMI cable and six pairs of 3D glasses.
Now, you should know that this device doesn't do active 3D, which has become the most popular format for today's 3D theaters. It doesn't convert the content to passive, either. Instead, it uses good, old anaglyphic 3D, which means all of the glasses have those goofy red/blue lenses. The package comes with six pairs of those; two for adults and four for the kiddies.
Still, it's a good cheapie option, if you want to add 3D to your gaming, sports, movies, or just to get a little depth on the evening news.
Just know that this deal does not include free shipping, so factor in another $4.99 to the sale price. However, you'd better start doing the math, because this deal is only good for today (Friday, November 9, 2012) or whenever the website runs out of stock.

What qualities do you think a successful bartender should have?
Number one, being nice. It blows me away how many snotty bartenders there are and how they expect good gratuity. I also think that people want to feel special, so remembering their name and what they drink is important. Making delicious cocktails is another important quality. People want to drink something that tastes good, so understanding which ingredients work well together is key.
If these walls could talk, what would they say?
I believe this is actually a safe haven for a lot of customers. If these walls could talk they would say, "welcome to your home."
What's the best drink to order during happy hour?
My first suggestion would be one of our fresh craft beers and that's when it gets interesting. I give samples and let people try our beer. We have several varieties and I explain all of them. It's what I call "a beer journey."
What are some interesting facts about beer?
Beer is both healthier and tastier than any other beverage. It can be more pure and cleaner than water, believe it or not. Beer also has a unique body. All unpasteurized beer has healthy bacteria in it. And finally, there are many different hops and soils. That's why the flavors are so different.

Another deer season has come to an end? Not for me, well, kind of. Instead of walking into the wonderful snow filled timbers looking for the whitetail deer, I just made one myself in the backyard. OK, so my wife laughed at me, but it still was fun!

Let denote the set of real symmetric matrices. We introduce a matrix-valued function defined by
The elliptope is defined by
where means that matrix is positive semidefinite. Since the elliptope is defined by the linear matrix inequality (LMI) , we can conclude that is a spectrahedron and, therefore, we have that is convex.
The elliptope (also known as "inflated tetrahedron") is the yellow part (surface and interior) of the Cayley's cubic surface plotted below
[ source ]
is a semialgebraic set
Saying that is positive semidefinite is equivalent to saying that the principal minors of are nonnegative. If , then the three 1st order principal minors (which are the diagonal entries of ) lead to the following three (admittedly uninteresting) inequalities
, ,
which we can discard. The three 2nd order principal minors (determinants of submatrices of ) and the 3rd order principal minor (the determinant of ) can be computed using the following Python 2.5 + SymPy script:
from sympy import * # symbolic variables x1 = Symbol('x1') x2 = Symbol('x2') x3 = Symbol('x3') # build matrix A(x) A = Matrix([[1,x1,x2], [x1,1,x3], [x2,x3,1]]) print "\nMatrix A(x):" print A print "\n2nd order principal minors:" print A.extract([0,1],[0,1]).det() print A.extract([0,2],[0,2]).det() print A.extract([1,2],[1,2]).det() print "\n3rd order principal minor:" print A.det()
which produces the following output:
Matrix A(x): [ 1, x1, x2] [x1, 1, x3] [x2, x3, 1] 2nd order principal minors: -x1**2 + 1 -x2**2 + 1 -x3**2 + 1 3rd order principal minor: -x1**2 + 2*x1*x2*x3 - x2**2 - x3**2 + 1
Hence, the 2nd order principal minors yield the following inequalities
, ,
which define the -dimensional cube . The 3rd order principal minor (i.e., the determinant) yields the inequality
We can thus conclude that is a basic closed semialgebraic set.
Deciding the convexity of
In my last post, I used quantifier elimination to decide the convexity of two semialgebraic sets in . Let us now decide the convexity of , which is of higher "complexity" than the sets I considered last time. What is the goal? The goal is to find out whether REDLOG can decide the convexity of in less than 10 minutes.
Based on the scripts in my previous post, we write the following REDUCE + REDLOG script to decide the convexity of :
% decide the convexity of the elliptope E3 load_package redlog; rlset ofsf; % define predicates in antecedent p1 := (1-x1^2>=0) and (1-x2^2>=0) and (1-x3^2>=0) and (1-x1^2-x2^2-x3^2+2*x1*x2*x3>=0); p2 := (1-y1^2>=0) and (1-y2^2>=0) and (1-y3^2>=0) and (1-y1^2-y2^2-y3^2+2*y1*y2*y3>=0); p3 := (theta>=0) and (theta<=1); % define predicate in the consequent z1 := theta*x1+(1-theta)*y1; z2 := theta*x2+(1-theta)*y2; q := (1-z1^2>=0) and (1-z2^2>=0) and (1-z3^2>=0) and (1-z1^2-z2^2-z3^2+2*z1*z2*z3>=0); % define universal formula phi := all({x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,y3,theta}, (p1 and p2 and p3) impl q); % perform quantifier elimination rlqe phi; end;
After 30 minutes (!!!) waiting for the decision procedure to terminate, I killed the reduce.exe process (which was eating all my machine's CPU cycles and RAM memory). This is disappointing…

Unlike most vibrating alarm watches that have a sporty design, this model has an elegant look. Its gleaming stainless steel case, art deco details, and rose-colored goldtone analog hands make the watch a timeless, sophisticated, yet functional accessory. It can be set with five different alarms to awaken you without disturbing others, or to serve as a reminder to take medications or to keep other appointments throughout the day. A large LCD screen below the dial digitally displays the alarm settings. When an alarm goes off, the watch pulses with six two-second vibrations that are vigorous enough to rouse the wearer, yet devoid of any beeping or sounds that can annoy others nearby. The splash-safe watch has a scratch-resistant crystal and accurate quartz movement. Black leather band fits wrists 6 1/2" to 9". Case 1 3/4" L x 1 1/8" W x 1/2" D. (2 1/4 oz.)

Vibration Alarm dress watch
By Sue
from Toledo, Ohio
This is, definitely, a man-sized watch. However, it works. I had to get used to being awakened by the 'buzz' unstead of some high-pitched alarm, but that is one refreshing 'sound' to wake up to. I like that fact that the alarm turns itself off after 6 vibrations. I found the instructions somewhat challenging, however, they cover the operations of the time and alarm and nothing more. If I have a concern, I have to call the company. Anyway, my husband has stopped complaining about having to be awakened when it is time for me to get up! That is refreshing, too! It would be great if I could replace the band with one that is more my size, but, I'm not complaining.

125 ft water curtain with Moonbow, paddling and fishing on Cumberland River, Stables with horse rentals and guided rides, 17 miles of hiking trails, 50 developed campsites, lodge and cottages
Known as the Niagara of the South, Cumberland Falls attracts outdoor enthusiasts and the curious each year. The reason being is that it offers a phenomenon not found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. The 125 ft waterfall displays a moonbow at night during a full moon that is truly a sight to see. While spectacular, the moonbow isn't nearly all that Cumberland Falls has to offer. Horseback riding, 17 miles of hiking trails, and opportunities for paddling and fishing on the Cumberland River.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already put their 24-7 win over Seattle behind them and are focused on their next challenge, which might be the most difficult of the year when the team travels to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday.
These two NFC South division rivals met at Raymond James Stadium on Nov. 22, but it's an outing the Bucs want to forget. New Orleans handed Tampa Bay a 38-7 loss, which was the worst of the 2009 season for the Bucs.
Some don't believe the 2-12 Bucs have much to play for against the 13-1 Saints, but Tampa Bay's players take issue with that notion.
"No one is giving us a chance, but that's kind of how we like it," said Bucs defensive tackle Chris Hovan. "We liked to be with our backs against the wall and nobody giving us a chance. I always love playing these division games. There's something about these rivalries that gets us going.
"Our challenge right now is going up against the number one or number two seeded team in the NFC. If that isn't enough of a challenge to get you up for a game then you're in the wrong sport."
Whether New Orleans is the top-seeded playoff team in the NFC remains to be determined. However, what is known is the Saints currently own the No. 1-ranked offense in the NFL.
The Saints offense, which is averaging 420 yards per game, is led by quarterback Drew Brees, who has completed 69.4 percent of his passes for 4,130 yards and tossed 33 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions in 2009.
Needless to say, Brees has earned the respect of Tampa Bay's defense.
"Drew is probably the MVP of the league, so we're definitely going against the best this Sunday," said Hovan.
New Orleans is coming off its first loss of the season, a 24-17 outing vs. Dallas. Some believe the Saints aren't playing their best football of the season due to that loss at home and the two wins they had before that game, which were decided by a total of six points.
The Bucs don't necessarily believe that based on the film they've watched.
"No, this is just the NFL. Stuff like that happens," said Bucs defensive end Stylez G. White. "They lost against Dallas, but they didn't change anything. Dallas was just better that day. I still think they're playing at a high level. They're a steady team."
One thing that has changed since their last meeting is Tampa Bay's defense. In fact, Bucs head coach Raheem Morris demoted defensive coordinator Jim Bates and took over the defense and brought back the Cover 2, one-gap defensive scheme after the Bucs' 31-point loss to the Saints.
The Bucs are looking forward to finding out how much progress they've actually made since switching defensive schemes, and plan on using the Saints' top-ranked offense as a measuring stick.
"It's definitely a test for the whole team," said Morris. "But whenever you face a Sean Payton-coached offense it's always a test against what you're going to do defensively. We've been highly ranked throughout the years on defense, and they've always managed to put up a lot of yards against us. The games were usually determined on turnovers. My guys are fired up. They want to go out there and play against the best. They have the opportunity to do that this Sunday."
Tampa Bay's defense has been playing better since then. It held Atlanta to 297 yards of total offense earlier this month, and last Sunday in Seattle the Bucs defense created five turnovers.
"We've had success playing the Saints with this defense in the past," said Hovan. "I'm not saying we're going to be successful, but we have a lot of confidence running this defense.
"You can just tell the swagger is coming back to this defense, the way we study, the way we prepare and the way we take the field. The old defense was outdated and didn't work. This defense is what it is; it's true, physical, violent and fast. It's the Tampa 2, and it's what this city has been raised on."
Although they have just two wins and the 25th-ranked defense in the NFL, the Bucs are a confident group heading into New Orleans.
"I think we're more excited to play the Saints again with more of a comfort level on defense," said Bucs middle linebacker Barrett Ruud. "We got dominated in every part of the game defensively last time, but we have more confidence going into this game. They were able to dictate what we did defensively the last time by lining up in certain formations and shifting to get us in certain coverages. This time it will be better for us because they won't be able to do that."
Tampa Bay's offense also has something to prove vs. New Orleans' 22nd-ranked defense, which held the Bucs scoreless after their opening drive in their meeting one month ago. The Bucs offense currently ranks 29th in the NFL, but knows it will have to score points in order to compete with the Saints and keep Brees off the field.
One way to keep Brees off the field is by running the football effectively, which is what Tampa Bay did well in Seattle.
"I think we've improved in a lot of areas since then, especially our running game," said Bucs wide receiver Maurice Stovall. "We showed that last week. Josh [Freeman] has gotten much more comfortable in the pocket, too. We enter this game with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot to prove."
Freeman will be a big factor in determining the outcome of Sunday's game in New Orleans. He had a rough game the first time Tampa Bay played New Orleans. Freeman was 17-of-33 for 126 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. The rookie quarterback also lost a fumble to the Saints' opportunistic and turnover-happy defense. Freeman was asked if this game is a chance to redeem himself against one the top defenses in the NFL, and build some momentum for the Buccaneers entering the offseason.
"Every game we go into with the mentality that it is a must win game," Freeman said. "It'd be great to get a win and try and string something together to finish off this season and try and gain some momentum going into the offseason. That's the standard. We prepare and practice hard and try and beat everybody. New Orleans is a divisional foe. They've had a great season. We are planning on going out and trying to execute our game plan as best we can and do whatever it takes to come out with a win."
The Saints defense, led by coordinator Gregg Williams and linebacker Jonathan Vilma, gave Freeman some confusing defensive fronts and blitzes the first time around. That's one of the things their defense does best, according to Freeman.
"They have a lot of different blitzes," Freeman said. "They got some unorthodox coverages behind those blitzes We just weren't able to get to them. There were a number of plays that we just didn't execute. It would've been a different game if we would've made some plays right before half and we would've gone to the half with a tie ball game or maybe up a score. We weren't able to capitalize and they were."
For the season, Freeman has completed 53.5 percent of his passes for 1,412 yards with nine touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Freeman is coming off leading the Bucs to a victory last Sunday on the road at Seattle. Playing in a loud, hostile road environment last week will be good preparation for Freeman entering the Superdome on Sunday. Plus, Freeman has already seen the New Orleans defense once this season.
"It is an advantage for both teams. They got to know us better playing us the first time," Freeman said. "Obviously we've learned a lot more about them having played them. I definitely think it is going to be a better game than it was last time.
"We started off with a good opening drive and didn't have a whole lot to say the rest of the game. Being able to go back and watch film and see where we made mistakes, I think we'll be a lot more competitive this game."
The Bucs have plenty to play for in New Orleans Sunday. A win over the Saints would capture headlines, but more importantly it would help the Bucs make headway in their attempt to build on 2010 with a strong finish in 2009.
"We're trying to finish the season 3-0," said Bucs left tackle Donald Penn. "It felt good to get the run game going [in Seattle]. We have to have a good offense to keep Brees off the field, plain and simple. We want to show some consistency there this week. We want to look to be spoilers and put stuff on film, otherwise you won't be here. That's enough to play for right there; your job.
"We've played hard all year. That's something Raheem [Morris] brings to the table. Everybody is going to play hard for him no matter what."

Rio de Janeiro, 24 Mar 10
UN-HABITAT and the government of Spain on Tuesday signed an agreement aimed at bolstering the existing cooperation between them. At a ceremony held during the ongoing Fifth Session of the World Urban Forum, UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka and Spain's Minister for Housing Ms. Beatriz Corredor Sierra signed the agreement.
The agreement aims at, among others, promoting collaboration between Spain and UN-HABITAT with the goal of implementing programmes, projects and cooperation activities. The two parties also undertook to study, prepare and support programmes and activities relating to environmental sustainability and human settlements.
Speaking during the occasion, Ms. Sierra reaffirmed her government's commitment to supporting the Habitat Agenda and maintaining its position as one of the top donors to UN-HABITAT.
Mrs. Tibaijuka hailed Spain saying that it had stood by the agency during its toughest times. "It is instructive to remember that Spain convened the second donors' conference in Seville and to me this was a demonstration of leadership on the part of Spain," she said.
The Executive Director said without strengthening the Habitat Foundation all the activities UN-HABITAT Was engaged in would be in vain.

New York Dec 28th 1850Dear Sir, I have distributed the books you sent me, one to Fremnan Anut [?], one to Mr. Bryant, one to Greeley and one to Park Goodwin, with a particular request that they should read it, but without specifying the wish that they should sign a card.I thought I would let that come afterwards. Mr. Bryant observed thus he knew you even very early in the field. Mr. Sedgewick is in Europe which is unfortunate. I think the card should first be strongly signed in Boston and then a copy of it sent to me here with the Boston names on it.With regard to my soliciting [...] [...] personally, I had not thought of that and do not know really what to say. I should be willing to devote some time to the matter if I could be pretty certain of making it pay me for the time but what percentage would to thus I have not the slightest idea. I should rather receive than make a proposition. I presume that there is little prospect of a law being passed before the very end of the session.Yours truly, J.P. Andrews

The NFL denied reports that it reached a new deal with DirecTV to keep the Sunday Ticket package exclusively on satellite television.
"We do not have an agreement. Any speculation or reports to the contrary are not accurate," NFL Media Group vice president of communications Alex Riethmiller told Sports Business Daily on Friday.
Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that the two sides reached an agreement.
If DirecTV is unable to agree to a new contract with the NFL, negotiations could open up to the cable companies or Internet distributors including YouTube or Netflix.
"We've had very, very constructive conversations with the NFL, but it's complex," DirecTV CEO Michael White told Variety on Thursday. "I'm very optimistic we will get an exclusive deal done on NFL Sunday Ticket."
DirecTV's current contract with the NFL expires at the end of the 2014 season. DirecTV pays the league about $1 billion a year for the Sunday Ticket package.

2/22/2013 - "I was very happy with the quality, size, artwork and general design of all of the ornaments I ordered. I knew I wouldn't get them in time for Christmas as I didn't discover your website until a few days before however I did appreciate the fact that you advised me of this several times during the order process and in the order acknowledgement. They did in fact arrive very soon thereafter and I was able to enjoy them on the tree. Several friends loved the dog ornaments and will be checking out your website for next Christmas. I was also very impressed by the packaging of the ornaments. This was so good it is a safe keeping place for the ornaments in storage for future years. Thank you again for the wonderful ornaments and the excellent service. Lauren K."

No. 33: Auburn
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 1, 2011
Last year's Auburn preview placed the Tigers at No. 26, just outside a national ranking but far outside the national title hunt. Mistakes have been made, will continue to be made and will be made again and again in perpetuity. Perhaps the most egregious error, however, was the paltry word count afforded one Cam Newton, then a risky JUCO transfer, now the most recent Heisman winner, an Auburn legend and perhaps, just perhaps, the most dominant college football player some of us have ever seen. He was the story in 2011, on the field and off, and his departure leaves some questions unanswered, on the field and off. Those looking for the final answer as to his recruitment, I hope you're comfortable: it could be a while. But his comet-like blaze in and out of college football history leaves Auburn searching for answers at a key position, which might be the defining storyline for this team as it enters 2011 with national title rings, confidence, a 15-game winning streak and a large, burnt-orange-and-navy bull's-eye on its back.

Last year's prediction
Yet there's significant reason to believe these Tigers capable of finishing second in the West and as high as third overall in the SEC. Now, as you can tell by this ranking, I don't believe that's going to occur. However, if the defense can progress, joining a talented offense, there's no reason Auburn cannot beat every team on its schedule — minus the Crimson Tide. The state belongs to Alabama in 2010, for at least one more year, though with the way Chizik has recruited, Auburn is certainly capable of upending the Tide in the very near future. For now, in Chizik's second season, I think this is a fair spot for Auburn: around the bottom fifth of the Top 25, fluttering in and out of national ranking depending on how it fares against conference opposition. This won't be the norm, in my opinion; with the way the wind is blowing at Auburn, I expect this program to find itself back in conference title contention under Chizik. He's surpassed my expectations.
2010 recap
In a nutshell How do you remove the albatross of 5-19 from around your neck? Try leading your team from five wins to a national championship in two seasons, a rapid reversal of fortunes that has taken Auburn's Gene Chizik from laughable to laudable in 24 months — and has seen his Tigers follow along the same lines, though despite a 5-7 finish in 2008, Auburn's stock was far higher than its first-year coach. It's amazing what a fresh chance can do for a coach; that and a once-in-a-generation quarterback can truly perform miracles. Despite the somewhat untouched back story of Chizik's refurbishment, the real message to take from Auburn's 14-0 run through the F.B.S. is that Cam Newton might be the finest college football player in a generation — a striding, dodging, pinpoint-passing dynamo who was nothing if not superb. There are other pieces of this Auburn puzzle, but Newton's the most meaningful piece: Auburn's good without him, but the Tigers are not great, or anywhere close to great.
High point The win over Oregon, of course. That's the only win that could overshadow the Comeback — all caps. Down 24-0 to Alabama, Auburn outscored the Crimson Tide by 28-3 over the final 36 minutes to keep its national title hopes alive. In a rivalry packed with memorable moments, players and coaches, this win should lead highlight packages for years to come.
Low point Not applicable.
Tidbit So which defending B.C.S. champ has taken the steepest slide in the year after its title? Technically, that would be U.S.C., which went from national champs in 2004 to 0-1 in 2005 — that would be according to the N.C.A.A., as the Trojans went 12-1 in games that were actually played on the field that fall. If we ignore N.C.A.A. penalties, the longest fall belongs to L.S.U., which went from 12-2 and atop the nation in 2007 to 8-5 the next season. No team has repeated since the B.C.S. era began in 1998: U.S.C. and Miami (Fla.) came close, however. Tennessee fell to 9-3 in 1999; L.S.U. to 9-3 in 2004; Florida to 9-4 in 2007; and L.S.U., as noted, to 8-5 in 2008.
Tidbit (Jordan-Hare edition) On fall Saturdays, Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium becomes the sixth-largest city in Alabama. It's not actually a city, though the game day atmosphere sometimes does suggest that Jordan-Hare is another country in itself, one inhospitable to all non-natives — badlands to the rest of the SEC, you could say. But the 87,451-strong crowd would, if it was a city, make Jordan-Hare the sixth-largest in the state, trailing Birmingham (230,130), Montgomery (202,124), Mobile (193,171), Huntsville (179,653) and Tuscaloosa (93,215). Of course, if Alabama is playing at the same time Tuscaloosa becomes the third-most populous city in the state, leapfrogging ahead of Mobile and Huntsville.

4. SG Eddie Johnson (1978-87).
5. SF Chris Morris (1989-99).
Gene Chizik (Florida '85), 22-5 after two seasons at Auburn. He's come a long way since Iowa State. What he did last fall was what countless other Auburn coaches couldn't: win a national title. Chizik did so after building a foundation in 2009, when the Tigers made a three-win improvement over their 2008 mark. Auburn retooled on the field and off, beefing up its recruiting efforts under Chizik en route to landing one of the most ballyhooed classes in school history. And that run has continued, with Auburn reeling talented recruit after talented recruit to push this roster, as a whole, into the upper echelon in the country. Perhaps now we can put his uninspired tenure at Iowa State to bed, yes? So what attracted Auburn to the former I.S.U. coach? His superb resume as a defensive coordinator, for starters, but also his ties to the university, where he spent the 2002-4 seasons as its coordinator. The Tigers compiled a 30-9 record over this span, culminating in the team's 13-0 finish in 2004. Chizik left for Texas in 2005, and helped lead the Longhorns to the national championship; at one point, Chizik-coached teams had won 29 straight games, beginning at Auburn and continuing at Texas. He was hired at Iowa State in 2007, and tied the 1996-97 Cyclones for the most losses over a two-year span in the program's decidedly poor history. Nevertheless, it was rash to judge Chizik's potential with the Tigers merely on his history at Iowa State; there may not be a tougher place to win in the F.B.S., though Chizik did fail spectacularly. Two years later, we begin to see just what Auburn saw in its former assistant. Two years later, Chizik has the last laugh. He's a national title winner, after all.
Tidbit (losing seasons edition) Chizik has suffered only four losing seasons in his 24 years as a college coach. Two of those, of course, came while he was in charge at Iowa State. As an assistant, Chizik went 3-8 in 1992, his first season as the linebackers coach at Stephen F. Austin; U.C.F. went 3-8 in 1999, his second year as defensive coordinator. Chizik has now been part of three undefeated teams: 13-0 Auburn in 2004, 13-0 Texas in 2005 and 14-0 Auburn a year ago.
Players to watch
One thing I like about Auburn, in a very strange way, is that competition is in full swing across the board. I don't think you could have said that about last year's roster, which was very top-heavy; while the leadership presented by the upperclassmen was vital to Auburn's national title run, it did prevent a good number of talented freshmen and sophomores from getting snaps. A year later, the roster is undergoing a undeniable transition, and the competition brewing at several spots will ultimately be to Auburn's benefit. But the road from inexperience to experience is a rocky one, so Auburn's going to take some lumps this fall.
No player in college football steps into quite as large a pair of shoes as Auburn quarterback Barrett Trotter. Or Auburn quarterback Clint Moseley. Or Auburn quarterback Kiehl Frazier, the true freshman and the future at the position. One is going to start, probably Trotter, and with the wonderful opportunity that provides comes the knowledge that there is no way, no way on Earth, Auburn is going to get a similar performance under center as in 2010. And that's fine, to be honest: Newton was a once-in-a-lifetime sort of talent, and no team outside of Stanford could put forth a new starter and not miss a beat.
So it'll be Trotter come September, in my mind. He attempted nine passes as Newton's backup last fall, hitting on six, for his first action on the college level. What Trotter does have is a fine knowledge of the system, thanks to his three seasons under Gus Malzahn, and he seemed to fare better than Moseley during the spring — though Moseley played pretty well. Then there's Frazier, who might have leapfrogged both the incumbents had he arrived in time to participate during the spring but is likely behind the eight-ball and playing catch-up without those added snaps. Don't sleep on Frazier starting at some point this fall, but he'll really need to hit the ground running to get a working grasp of this offense. With all due respect to the challengers, no team in the country will have such a night-and-day change at quarterback.
Auburn's going to run the ball well, even if the quarterback situation is muddled and the offensive line full of new faces. Auburn simply can't not run the ball well, not with Malzahn calling the shots and a pair of backs like Michael Dyer (1,093 yards, 5 scores) and Onterio McCalebb (810 yards, 9 scores) leading the way on the ground. Dyer was all he was cracked up to be as a five-star recruit, providing a significant impact from the start and, against Oregon, having his coming-out party: 22 carries for 143 yards. McCalebb was lost in the shuffle a bit, but as those numbers suggest he's a big-time performer for the Tigers. There's no better running back pair in the SEC; Dyer's a Heisman dark horse — it's a dark horse, to be honest — and McCalebb should earn all-SEC honors with the added touches now that Auburn won't be so quarterback-heavy on the ground. Look for a beefed-up McCalebb to do the dirty work between the tackles, further increasing his importance to this offense.
The receiver corps took a big hit thanks to graduation, the N.F.L. and attrition, losing five components off last year's group. While the quarterback situation is under a microscope, perhaps no player will end up being more important to this offense than Emory Blake (32 receptions for 526 and 8 scores), the only returning wide receiver with enviable playing experience. He's clearly Auburn's top target; Blake will have a big year, whether it's Trotter, Moseley or Frazier under center. What the Tigers need is a larger role from returning receivers like redshirt freshman Trovon Reed, who was slated to play last fall before an injury ended his season in September. Junior D'Angelo Benton needs to step up his game, as he has the size and speed to be a player, and Auburn hopes that Quindarius Carr can transition his return abilities to the passing game.
It looks like Auburn will be forced to play some of the newcomers. In a perfect world, Sammie Coates and Jaylon Denson would either take a redshirt or learn the offense gradually, not hold key roles; Auburn may not have that luxury in 2011. At least the Tigers have a talented pass-catching tight end like Philip Lutzenkirchen (15 catches for 185 yards and 5 touchdowns), who was more a red zone threat in 2010 but should be a more important piece this fall.
Yeah, the offense carried the load for much of last season, but it was clearly evident that Ted Roof and the defense was not getting the respect they deserved throughout Auburn's national title run. Perhaps some began to pay attention after Auburn did what few others could: slow down Oregon. When the dust cleared, the Tigers didn't fare well against the run but did a few things remarkably well, like stop the run and get to the quarterback, which is all a top-notch offense needed to finish 14-0. However, as on offense, the defense must do some major rebuilding heading into 2011.
It begins up front. More specifically, it begins up and in the middle, where Auburn moves forward without Nick Fairley. As with Newton, his presence will be irreplaceable. The Auburn defensive line will now have a sophomore feel: it'll be Jeffrey Whitaker and Kenneth Carter at tackle, Nosa Equae (22 tackles, 7.5 for loss, 3.5 sacks) and Corey Lemonier (17 tackles, 5 for loss, 2 sacks) at end. As those numbers suggest, Equae and Lemonier were big pieces at end a year ago. Equae was good enough to steal a starting role midway through the year, and while Lemonier held a reserve role he was a very valuable presence in some key situations. Add additional pieces like former JUCO transfer Joel Bonomono and Dee Ford into the mix and you have a nice crop of ends, albeit one that will need to get pressure in the backfield without a Fairley gobbling up blockers along the interior.
Whitaker played a bit last fall; Carter didn't play much at all, so together you have a talented pairing with a troubling lack of experience. But they should compliment each other well, with Whitaker the bigger, run-stopping tackle and Carter the speedier disruptor behind the line of scrimmage. Any struggles they have in 2011 will lead to better things down the road, and this pair is going to surprise some with their talent and productivity. But neither is going to make a game-changing impact, which is not a huge problem but will force Auburn to make defensive adjustments to keep pace.
Craig Stevens and Josh Bynes didn't have eye-popping numbers, but they came to play every Saturday. That's a high compliment, by the way: not all-world talents, the departed starters were the sort of glue players any good defense — and any national championship-winning team — desperately needs. The linebacker corps return one starter from a year ago in junior Darren Bates (48 tackles, 1 interception), a converted safety still finding his way on the second level. He'll be on the outside, joining senior Eltoro Freeman (37 tackles, 4 for loss) in flanking middle linebacker Jake Holland.
Freeman has my vote for the defense's breakout star if he can get his head in game — and keep it there. He has all the talent in the world, but needs to harness it in order to be more consistent. The linebacker took a hit when incoming freshman Kris Frost suffered a weightlifting injury, one that could cost him the coming season. Frost would have absolutely played in 2011, if not started, and even had the athleticism to dabble on both sides of the ball. We may need to wait until 2012 to see him in action.
The biggest position move on this team comes in the secondary, where Auburn moved starting cornerback Neiko Thorpe (64 tackles) over to safety to counteract some painful losses at the position. Thorpe isn't afraid to stick his nose into the mix, which should make his transition a graceful one. It's a somewhat open conversation as to who joins Thorpe at safety, though it's a safe guess to say that sophomore Demetruce McNeal (24 tackles) will get the nod. Like Thorpe, he's not afraid of contact. Unlike Thorpe, McNeal needs to work on defending the pass.
T'Sharvan Bell could flop in his new role as a starting cornerback and still never buy a beverage in Auburn for the rest of his life, thanks to his sack of Greg McElroy in last year's Iron Bowl comeback — or Comeback, if you prefer. Bell's the answer for Thorpe as Auburn's top cornerback, the guy you'll see across from the opposition's best. His running mate remains undecided, though it's come down to sophomores Chris Davis and Ryan White. At cornerback and safety, the story is youth: you'll see a number of freshmen in action, like Erique Florence, Jonathon Mincy, Jonathan Rose and Jermaine Whitehead.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line Four starters must be replaced off one of college football's best offensive fronts, one that was certainly aided by the talented pieces at the skill positions but one that undoubtedly got the job done against the best of the best on a weekly basis. It won't be easy, and if you're looking for a reason why Auburn's going to take a step back in 2011, this is it. As noted above, one of the minor issues associated with last year's team was that the seniors dominated, meaning the reserves did not see a tremendous amount of playing time. That didn't hurt in 2010, but it may hurt depth in 2011. One thing we know about the Auburn offensive line is that A.J. Greene and Brandon Mosley will start at tackle. Greene won the right tackle job coming out of last fall, but an injury thrust Mosley, a JUCO transfer, into the starting role. Now healthy, Greene will help bookend the line with Mosley, who should be even better with that year of experience under his belt. Senior Jared Cooper and junior John Sullen have the sort of experience — not a ton, but enough — much-needed up front, so they'll get the nod at guard.
Replacing Ryan Pugh is going to Auburn's toughest task; no offense to Lee Ziemba, but at least Auburn can throw out a pair with starting experience at tackle. The center job should go to sophomore Blake Burgess, a former walk-on… at least for now. The real story up front is the wide number of freshmen, redshirt and true, who will constitute the second line and, perhaps, push for starting roles throughout the season. This is the case with Reese Dismuskes at center: he's the future at the position, and should move ahead of Burgess once he gets his feet wet. At guard, Auburn has talented recruits like Eric Mack, Thomas O'Reilly, Greg Robinson and Christian Westerman. The latter looks like a tackle, based on his recruiting reports, so you could also pencil him in among a freshmen tackle group that includes Chad Slade and Ed Christian. Auburn's offensive line in 2012, 2013 and 2014 should be among the SEC's best. In 2011, the Tigers are going to take a step back.
Game(s) to watch
Alabama. How do you follow up on the Comeback? How about the Upset? Here's guessing Alabama's going to be knee-deep in the national title mix come the Saturday after Thanksgiving, while Auburn will be playing the role of spoiler. Sound familiar? Meaningful games abound, like Clemson, Georgia, South Carolina, L.S.U. — the entire schedule, in fact. Every team will be saving its best shot for the Tigers. That's what you get for running the table.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell I know, I know. Defending champs, 14-0, Chizik, Malzahn — him most of all, and more in a moment — talent, more talent, speed, a system and more. Auburn's not going to drop off the map, as perhaps some have suggested, but rather remain a potent offensive team, despite the changes, and a team that will just get better and better with each passing Saturday. There's simply too much talent to ignore; the problem is that the vast majority of the talent is unproven, and while talent is talent the SEC is not kind to young teams. And that's why Auburn doesn't look like more than an eight-win team in the regular season, in my mind, even if I admit that the Tigers have enough talent, not to mention the coaching, to beat any team on any day. There's Malzahn, cooking up another scheme to befuddle the opposition. Regardless of which quarterback takes the nod or whether the offensive line needs to play a freshman or two, Auburn's going to score points. There's Chizik, three years into his defensive system, with Roof one of the nation's most overlooked coordinators. Defensively, much depends on how quickly the sophomores up front and in the secondary can take to their new roles. If the starters play up to their talent, not their age, Auburn could win 10 games and challenge for a B.C.S. berth. If the youngsters show their youth, struggling early and getting chewed apart by the talented, experienced, hungry teams in the SEC itching to take down the Tigers, it could be a long year. It's only safe, considering how much Auburn has lost and how tough the road will be to overcome, to expect the Tigers to take a step back. But respect the national champs, and not just for what they achieved a year ago. Respect Auburn because of its talent, which may be young but will certainly have this team capable of beating any opponent. It's just young, unproven and untested. Auburn's back in the hunt in 2012; for now, this team will take a step back. Eight wins would be a success. This team will be very exciting to watch, thanks to the young talent. If all goes according to plan, this youth will be game-tested veterans in 12 months.
Dream season Repeat. Auburn becomes the first team to win back-to-back B.C.S. titles, again taking down all comers in a perfect 14-0 season.
Nightmare season Those that take the under will be happy: 5-7, 4-4.
In case you were wondering
Where do Auburn fans congregate? Begin with the two recruiting sites, Auburn Sports and AUTigers.com. For independent Web sites, check out AUNation.net, AuburnFootball.com and Wayne and Hobbes' Auburn Message Board. I'm not done yet: for a blog's take, visit Track 'Em Tigers and War Blog Eagle. The former site had a great quote about a national publication in a recent post, writing, "The [New York] Times covering college football is akin to Vanity Fair writing about NASCAR." I have no comment.

Dan Fulton says:
Excellent breakdown of Auburn and what to expect from them this year. With the loss of Cam Newton and Nick Fairley, I think Auburn will finish in the middle of the pack in the SEC west. They will probably start the season ranked somewhere between 18-12 range. I'm feeling an 8 win season too but maybe less. We will see. Good looking blog by the way, from one college football blogger to another.

5-7 may even be a little generous if they're going to be underdogs in 8 games heading into the season which is the number that i've been hearing thrown around
Ken M says:
USC is next, and I think that leaves only 3 PAC- teams for the top 30 (Utah, Stanford & Oregon).
UVA Wildcat says:
Yep. USC is next. The coach in question is Henry H. Goddard. Frank Suffel was the co-coach.
