Mentoring: A Prescription for Success
Here at CU-Boulder, we place significant value on mentoring students and it is important that we mentor each other as faculty and staff as well. Undoubtedly, having more experienced people provide advice and support to foster the progress of those with less experience benefits individuals, departments and the entire campus community.

FAFSA is there for to help students out with financial aid so that they can afford to go to college. On Wednesday, USA Today shared about this tweet that included actress Kristen Wiig of "Saturday Night Live" and did not go over well with fans. It showed a picture of Kristen Wiig and along with it said the comment "Help me. I'm poor."
Everyone was really upset about this tweet. Along with it they put the message, "If this is you, then you better fill out your FAFSA." When everyone was really upset about it, they realized that they better delete it. They took it down and then shared the tweet, "We apologize for the insensitivity of our previous tweet. Our goal is to make college a reality for all. We're very sorry." It was a little bit too late because they already made people mad.
FAFSA was obviously trying to reach out to everyone they could through social media. They wanted people to think about filling out their forms and getting help for college. They didn't want them do without college because they couldn't afford it. Instead they just really upset a lot of people and now everyone is talking about them in a negative light. They will check their tweets a little better before they send them out.
The thing is people will still be filling out their FAFSA and using them to get help with college. This is the best way to get college assistance. Even though they have upset people that won't stop people from using their services. It might make people talk about them a little bit more though and that is not always a good thing.

The smell of saw dust, fresh paint, mulch; the help of volunteers and a surprise visit of Ty Pennington himself were just a few key elements at the Sears Home Services' "Building Community Together" kick off in Tampa, Fla. today.
The early afternoon kick off was at the corner of Lamar and E. Palm Ave. where Sears Home Services volunteers, technicians, and community leaders gathered for brief acknowledgements. Then it was up to DIY, former Extreme Make Over Home Edition TV series star and TV personality Ty Pennington's final cheer on phrase, "Let's do it," to continue with the on going project at the former Presbyterian Church built in the 1900s. The abandoned church is being converted into the new Tampa Heights Junior Civic Association Community Center that will serve approximately 200 children by teaching computer skills, encouraging healthy eating habits, providing other learning opportunities and more.
Ty Pennington expressed his enthusiasm to be a part of the project.
What I think is amazing about the "Building Community Together" initiative is that you have local people helping to improve the lives of their neighbors. I am so excited to be part of this effort and help kick things off. Hopefully, this will inspire people around the country to volunteer in their communities and support what Sears Home Services is doing.
In early January students from USF's SOS started working on a new ramp, irrigation system, and new garden plots for the community center. Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay (RTTB), along with other sponsors, teamed up with Tampa Heights Junior Civic Association (THJrCA) to finish construction at the center where painting, planting, and assembly of furnishings continued throughout the day.
In addition, about 80 volunteers from Sears Home Services are donating their time to participate in the renovation not only of the church but also of three local homes. In conjunction with Sears Home Services "Building Community Together" launch, it also announced February as National Hiring Month at which the team is looking to fill more than 1,000 product repair service technician, project consultant, call center support, and various home improvement positions nationwide.
Sears Home Services mission is to restore homes and buildings in the communities in which their nearly 8,000 technicians, project consultants and contractors live and serve and along with the nonprofit Rebuilding Together organization which helps identify homes and community projects in need of assistance. Apart from Tampa, the "Building Community Together" initiative will continue in other communities including the Chicago, Sacramento, and Philadelphia areas.

Suspect and victims sought in reported assault
Published: Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 9:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 9:11 p.m.
Witnesses called police when they said they saw a black man with a knife striking two women in Ingles parking lot, but both the suspect and victims fled the scene before Spartanburg Public Safety officers arrived.
According to a report, just before 9:30 a.m. police were called to 2000 Pine St. for a report of a man with a knife. Two witnesses said they saw a black man striking a black woman and a white woman and holding a knife. When confronted by one of the witnesses, the suspect fled. The witness tried to block the suspect's vehicle into the parking lot, but he then ran from the scene. No tracks were found, according to the report, and K-9 units were deployed at the scene.
It is unclear from the report when or why the witnesses left the scene, but they were gone when authorities arrived. The report indicates police were able to locate one of the people involved through a phone number, but Capt. Regina Nowak of the Spartanburg Public Safety said neither the victims or the suspect have been identified.

First and foremost, I would like to discuss what is investment is all about. Investment is actually where we putting our money $ or capital into financial instrument for some period of time in expectation will earn some additional income or gain. Shortly it can be said as money make money.
Hence, when we decide to invest, what should we do next is to have proper planning in investment. This step comprise a few steps below:
1. Identify your goals and time frame in investment.
We should identify ourselves what is our goals in investment. Is it for our short term, medium or long term investment.
2. Asset Allocation-Choose the best investment suit you.
There are various way our money can be invested. It can either be we invest our money in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, money market, fixed income, real estate investment, FOREX or any other alternatives of investment.
3. Risk Consideration.
Please note that investment involve some risks. We cannot expect that our investment do not have any risk at all. As investors we should know the concept of high risk high return.
The more risk involved in our investment the more additional income we would earn in return. Different investment would be different risk involve in our investment. It could be interest rate risk, currency risk, market risk, liquidity risk and so forth.
4. Determine amount of money and how often would be invested.
How much we would invest is depends on how much we afford to put aside our money for investment. Please do not involved in loan financing if we cannot afford to bear the risk in borrowing. In addition, we can consider our investment can be in lump sum or we can invest it periodically i.e. monthly, quarterly or yearly.
5. Finally, choose the best investment company.
Once you review above 4 steps the next step would be choosing the best investment company. Please ensure the investment company is authorized dealing in this investment, well known and established. Do not believe in any unfamiliar name claiming that they are one of investment company dealing in our country. Please make some research of company background before you put your money into it.

Facebook Seattle Engineering Roadshow
I think another fun story about scalability is our usernames launch…So, this was a product launch like many at Facebook, that was quite controversial, as we talked about doing it. So we decided that, you know, kind of a lot of sites allow you to have a short name, and a lot of people have their association with Facebook as their personal identity, so it seems to make sense that instead of being facebook.com/uid, you know, blah blah blah, I could actually have a nice, easy-to-read username. So, this was all well and good, except that when most people do this, they have zero million users — and at the time, we had a little over 200 million users. So the problem was, how exactly do you get 200 million users to pick a username, and do this in a fair, and kind of balanced manner? So pretty much every way of allocating a scarce resource was debated, standard auctions like eBay, VCG auctions, for you auction nerds out there, which give you optimal results, but are confusing as hell to explain to someone what's going on — we actually user-tested that one and people had no idea what they were doing — so, it's like, telling them that it was the fairest way to allocate wasn't going to make it any better — so we finally said, look, let's just do this the simple way, everyone's used to standing in line, first-come, first-served.
The problem with standing in line first-come first served, is that it basically means we're asking 200 million people to show up at our website at exactly the same second on one evening. When that happens, most people call that something like a denial of service attack. For us, it's like, a product launch. — Mike Schroepfer
Last Wednesday, Facebook brought their Seattle Engineering Roadshow to EMP. The event featured a presentation by Mike Schroepfer, Facebook's Vice President of Engineering, on the challenges of scale.
Mike began by throwing out some impressive stats: Facebook boasts over 300 million active users, and serves around five billion external API calls per day. With the help of aggressive in-memory (memcached) and in-network (CDN-based) caching, Facebook serves 1.2 million photos/second to its users. The ste is built entirely on open-source infrastructure — mostly LAMP, but a few non-PHP languages as well. (Facebook's chat server is written in Erlang). The production database is a replicated group of MySQL machines.
For most sites, scaling up is a well-understood problem: simply add more hardware, and partition the workload among the hardware using load-balancers. When Facebook was introduced, each network (at the time, US universities) had its own separate instance of the service, with minimal connectivity between the instances. As the site evolved toward its current, more unified experience, figuring out how to load-balance the site was very tough. From a computer science perspective, partitioning queries onto Facebook's core data structure — the friend graph — is not an easy problem.
Over time, the site has grown from a simple PHP web app, to a set of distributed services running across many machines. Facebook's highly optimized services perform the meat-and-potatoes work of the site: friend graph intersection, profile lookups, etc. Rendering a single page might involve queries to dozens of these services.
After his statistical tour de force, Mike touched on the importance of culture. Facebook encourages people to experiment and break things. Scaling is all about removing bottlenecks; when something gets in the way, a team of 2-3 engineers spends a few weeks inventing a solution to the problem. In addition to being the largest contributor to memcached, Facebook has open-sourced many of their in-house innovations, including Cassandra and Scribe.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the talk, and the organization Mike described. Throughout the talk, Mike's intensely optimistic, can-do attitude shined through, without an iota of pretense or stuffiness. If you're looking to get a job in the Valley, definitely give these guys some thought.
A full, free audio recording of the presentation is available on the media page. Dare Obasanjo has a more detailed account, which Y Combinator's Hacker News picked up last week.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 9 August 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520809-TC-JWC-01; CL 27: 212-215
Scotsbrig, 9 Augt, 1852—
Thanks, dear little Goody, for your copious entertaining Narrative of your adventures; which, if it failed at Linlathen, was duly lying here to welcome me when I arrived on Saturday evening. Your expedition to the west had its romantic ups and downs for the Doggie and you; all ending handsomely, however: certainly in the annals of modern courtesy it would not be easy to parallel that of the galloping barouchette; we may say, in a superficial sense, the age of chivalry is not gone!— Poor Mrs Macready, that image of your parting with her is very sad. But it was a pious debt you had to pay, this journey you have made; and we hope it will have done you nothing but good either outwardly or inwardly. You had a dreadful quarry of noise and dust and mad confusion to return to; which is quite appalling to myself whenever I think of it; which, in the present windbound state of our affairs, is a thing I very often or indeed almost continually do. Catch me consenting to a "thorough reparation" ever in my life again! What to do in the business I cannot yet in the least decide; and yet decided it must be before we are many days older.
At one o'clock on Friday last, an hour after the last letter I wrote you, Erskine and Farie (faithful escorts, who however cost me a hottish walk instead of riding) put me on board the railway steamer at Broughty; and in less than two hours more, after no adventure, or experience except that of sadness, solitude (beside two innocent stupid human beings, male and female) and on the whole oppression and ennui, Fergus and Royd1 were to be seen waiting for me on the Kirkcaldy Platform; and there I alighted, to pause for exactly 24 hours, for my only good train (it turned out) was this one I was now quitting. All was very high and grand in the Fergus house, and I may say extremely kind,—had it not been so "undeniably dull," aggravated now by the suspicion that I think it dull,—heigho! However, the afternoon was dry and airy; F. and I walked westward along the beach, and I had one other nice bathe, in a delightful cove among rocks: seven o'clock came at last; the Royds were very quiet, no other company,—nothing wrong with the butter either;—and on the whole the time rolled tolerably along. Mrs Royd, who has much more female talent than most of the Ferguses, sang Scotch songs: an exquisite voice, better than any Lind's, I thought, but spoiled by ornamental flourishings, super-refinements and want of true intellect: she sang Coolun with such melody as was never heard, and yet poor Goody's play of it on the Piano witht any singing is a better thing.2 Huhu! Why do I speak irreverently of those good people; their treatment of me was the pink of courtesy, nay even of kindness that might have been called Samaritan had it not been so splendid. Eliz. Pepoli speaks of coming home next summer; terribly plagued with that old Picture-cleaner Lawsuit, otherwise well, and desiring to hear of you.3 At parting Miss Jessie with emphasis recommended herself to the same graceful individual;—and in short, after an abstemious lunch, intended to serve as dinner, I took myself successfully enough, and got once more (thanks God!) into the element of silence and something that at least seemed to be leading towards business. Of course I "remembered" Auchtertool; but in the present lie of circumstances, and mood of my own stomach and heart, there seemed no possibility,—and will explain when Jack goes.
In Edinr I loitered 55 minutes by the clock,—day fine, but defective in wind,—no soul visible, or clearly conceivable, whose acquaintance I desired or had ever had: of mortal man only old Dr Monroe4 and (as I now bethink me, for at the time I did not rightly heed it and had only an unpleasant feeling of surprise and riddlemaree) Lord John Russel, those were the only creatures I had ever seen before. However, I had a cigar; and I decided to walk with it in the Grassmarket (unvisited for 30 or 40 years), and to see, if you can believe it, the West Bow again where poor Goody (not the Goody I now have to me) bought a snuff mull long ago. Alas, the West Bow itself has taken wings, there is now no West Bow, but a broad fashionable kind of Circus, with worsted-shops, print-shops, and I almost think a kind of Terrace: much has taken wings! On the shady side of the Grassmarket, however, I had seen groups of lazy dirty women and children squatted on the flagstones, cheerfully gossiping, who seemed to be possibly rather "happy,"—poor little Jeffrey, gone too, all gone!— It was on the N. Bridge that I saw Lord Johnny; in the train itself Monroe (very ugly and baggy) who got out at Slateford, intending apparently, like several others, some Sunday amid the Pentlands5 in some neat box handy by. Of the rest of my journey I say nothing; except that a vile waiting-place, "Carstairs" I think, where we hung on for 25 minutes, waiting for other trains, and without leave even to smoke, I saw from my window a bluenosed enigmatic figure, amid the simmering crowd making toward some refresht-room, who, in the act of passing me, plainly disclosed himself as John Gordon; to whom, in my horrible state of torpor, I did not make sign, alarmed at the starting of speech in such a moment; and we were gone before he reappeared. Alas, has not life tragedies in it? At this station, when the Glasgow trains did arrive, I got two inmates into my carriage: a foolish loll of an old Cumberland gigwoman and her foolish old fishing and touring gigman of a husband; who were in open quarrel, at least the wife was, and quite in the wrong too (mark that); by whom the rest of the journey was made still duller and more mephitic, and especially the prospect I had had of a cigar was totally cut off! I declined any conversation (to speak of); but sat silently looking out upon the moors and the setting sun, and infinite space and the worlds of memory and eternity; and so, after some dashing showers, which all ended about Lockerby, I found Jamie on the station-platform with a gig hard by; welcome tea under this roof about 9 p.m.,—and so here I am, at another point of my program. Since I began writing there has come a Note, thro' Linlathen, from Countess Blanche; I could not have gone (tell her if you write) in the mood I was in; and am happy to be off, which you needn't tell her.
My poor old Mother is wonderfully brisk these two days, her eyes quite bright and lively, tho' evidently she is feebleness's self. Isabella is weakly too; and I believe goes soon off to Whinnyrigg for "sea-air." Margt Austin takes charge now upstairs; and to her I, by invisible but strict laws of the place, am mainly assigned; a change by no means in my favour. Jack has not yet showed face; is about Moffat, after gratis "patients": both Jamie and my Mother seem a little tired of these gratis patients, of this incessant jingling after nothing at all. Jack however, poor good soul, finds it infinitely important and a quite interesting rural existence. He has trimmed all the outskirts of Scotsbrig into a really neat, railed planted condition, and beautified this his own room very much, where I have lodged these two past nights,—where however there is a sad smell of paint, defect of the old ventilation, and no good sleep procurable hitherto. He comes this evening; I shift into the other room. He is for Fife and a "consultation at Auchtertool," as he wrote, in a day or two hence. My inner man (so-called) is very ill off here hitherto; and I mean to resume my compress, which I had been obliged to lay aside ever since leaving home.— This is all, dear Jeannie mine; surely this is enough!
Of Germany &c I will say nothing, indeed can say nothing, till I get time to reflect. My heart shudders at any kind of travelling, with such nerves and such digestion as I have. But somewhither, it appears, we must go; and kind of faint call of duty seems to point towards Germany rather. But it will never do to leave you behind me: you surely deserve this one little pleasure, since it is going; there are so few that you can get from me in this world! If we go, therefore, it is we, not I; so far I see. But how to go? Curtainless beds, noisy sleepless nights—Neuberg himself is rather formidable to me! For indeed I am very weak at present, much disheartened, dyspeptical, and in fine contemptible (as I often urge) in some degree! "Ye must just excuse us the—day."— — To Gully's I cannot think of returning; especially for so long a time, nor indeed to Malvern much at all. But a rustic village "somewhere" might be truly agreeable! More next time.
My poor old Mother comes in with her anxious sincere old face: "Send my love to Jane, and tell her" (this with a waeish tone) "I wad like richt weel to have a crack wi' her,"—"once mair," she phrased it last night, the good old woman.
Adieu dear little Goody; I hope there will be something for tomorrow again or soon. I am tired with this small Note today.
Yours ever /
T. Carlyle

They are accountable direct marketers with insane focus on ROI and efficiency. They have integrity in all their dealings. Their technology is world-class, as are their analysts (the best in the business). By joining RKG we are joining forces with a truly industry-leading company. This merger is the union of similar minds, visions, and skills.
All of our employees will be joining RKG, and our offices in Bend, Oregon will remain and operate as the west coast division (RKG also has offices in Charlottesville and Boston). Our clients will continue to get best of breed SEO consultation from the same teams they have now.
I'll be joining RKG as President. Meg Thompson, our co-founder and EVP, will be serving as Vice President of SEO.

The Lego Movie isn't just better than a film called The Lego Movie has any right to be. It's a good movie period.
Starring a bunch of the titular toy, the movie follows the story Emmet Brickowoski (Chris Pratt), an everyman in everyway. Emmet's favorite song is the most popular song out there, same for television show. He lives life by the book; literally. Despite being a nice guy, Emmet doesn't have any friends, leading him to read a book on how to make them. However, Emmet may be far more than he appears, as it turns out he is Chosen One, the great MasterBuilder who will save the world.
If this all sounds rather generic, that's kind of the point. The screenplay by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (who worked together on 21 Jump Street) with story credits by Dan and Kevin Hageman, is all about playing up the absurdities of the Chosen One plot. In the world of The Lego Movie, there are countless other characters better at helping protect society than Emmet. Take for example Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), who can craft an escape vehicle from neighboring materials, or Batman (Will Arnett as yes, that Batman), who also shares a similar knack for creating on the fly. Emmet, well, in his most dire moments he makes a double-decker couch.
The movie is ludicrous fun. It has a madcap energy that is almost too much at times, with the screen's Lego-based images flying everywhere, as gags are crammed into every frame. The humor is richly layered, neither talking down to kids with simplicity or littering itself with pop-culture bits for the adults. There are the occasional jokes about the block-y nature of the toys, yet again, these bits are used as enhancements to already solid laughs.
Lord and Miller build a nice array of supporting characters; the arrogant Batman, the relentlessly joyous Unikitty, the spaceship obsessed Benny and many more. Even nicer is how Lord and Miller give all of these characters ardent narrative beats along the way. There's also the knack for absurdity they brought to the terrific 21 Jump Street a few years ago. All of this and they even throw in a tender, emotional heart, finishing up the film with a terrific last act.
If there's one knock for The Lego Movie it is how closely it occasionally resembles 2009's A Town Called Panic, the superb comedy featuring toy figures in absurd situations. It's not merely the toy-based nature of it, but also the farcical way the plot plays out. For 99% of people this complaint won't mean a thing, yet as a fan of Panic it has to be said that it was felt.
The Lego Movies opens wide all across Seattle tomorrow.

So the price on the Snap Double Zip Coat ($520) would be over the budget if it wasn't really three coats in one! When we realized the double zippers extend all the way around this coat and are completely detachable, we got almost giddy. With one purchase, we get a cropped military style jacket, a fitted waist-length blazer, and a mid-calf outerwear coat! There are several ways to give this piece some of your own style, too. Consider unzipping the bottom layer partway, turning it into a tailcoat.

I fell in love with this dress in the window of Trudy's Dress Shop and knew as soon as I tried it on that it was perfect. The shape of the dress is very flattering, particularly the waist line and it is very elegant. This is a silk Satin A-line with a slight sweetheart neck line. It has pleated and handbeaded appliques on empire bodice. The beautiful beading is what really made the dress for me. The dress ties up into a French bustle. I also have a veil and custom hair comb available. More pictures available upon request.
- Alterations: I had the dress taken in and raised the neckline an inch. My measurements at the time of the wedding were: Sizing: Street Size:12 Dress Size: 14 Bust: 38" Waist: 32" Hips: 38" Height with shoes 5'8"
- Preservation Method: The dress was professionally dry cleaned and bagged. The only damage to the dress is some fraying to the tule and lining underneath the dress where it touched the ground, but your guests will not be able to see this.

Before Ethan Couch, the teen in the most recent "Affluenza Case" escaped prison time after killing four people while drunk driving, there was Robert Richards IV whom escaped prison time in 2009 after admitting to raping his then three year old daughter, his 8 year sentence was suspended. In a most bizarre sentencing hearing Judge Jan Jurden stated that Richards would not "fair well in prison," so instead she gave Richards probation and ordered him to a "sex offenders treatment program."
However, on Saturday, USA Today reported that just under a decade later, Richards two children, the daughter that was raped and the son he allegedly raped and live with their mother modestly in a small rented home, while Richards continues to live a life of luxury that allows him to frequent between multiple luxurious mansions. Although the "trust fund baby," is not lacking in funds, Richards ex-wife is having to sue him for the court mandated support he has yet fulfilled.
Further, although he is now a convicted pedophile, a criminal record is no obstacle for Richards because he has more than enough finances to support him through multiple lifetimes. So why was Judge Jurden so lenient on this convicted rapists who admitted to the most heinous of crimes with the victim being his own three year old daughter?
Many public defenders and defense attorneys were also baffled. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the entire story was quickly hushed no sooner than it graced the courts back in 2008. Apparently power of old American wealth had a hand in that and it seems this judge was not immune to it's powers either. Thanks to the discovery process in the ex-wife's lawsuit that brings this story and the imbalance of power and equality in justice back to light.
Senior Editor of Slate, Emily Bazelon tells us:
There are three crucial justifications for criminal punishment: retribution, deterrence, and rehabilitation. It's the first two of those goals that should be front and center when the crime is the sexual abuse of a child, with the welfare of the rapist coming in a distant third. Probation for raping a child is the kind of leniency that gives mercy a terrible name.
As if sexual assault is equivalent to financing a dog fighting gambling ring, this judge's perspective and sentencing seemingly applies empathy to the rapist and shames the victim. In considering the unique position of a just and fair judge in a case like this, it seems possible that if there are to be any judges that will look upon the guilty with unbiased, full knowledge, and understanding, they would not exclude the child rapist from fair treatment....nah, maybe not so much.
In a society where gambling casinos and state lotteries is acceptable for the wealthy and the government, it seems the irresponsible act of a black athlete from a rough town, ridden with drugs and gang violence can "fair well in prison" for his actions even as a first time offender but the affluent need protection, freedom, and treatment especially after admitting to the heinous crime of raping helpless and innocent babies. At least he was honest?

Previous Boss – Dark House Sorcerer
The next section of Darkness War pits the party against everyone's favorite Solomon Island creatures: the Ak'ab. This moth boss fights similarly to other Ak'ab's with a minor twist.
Ak'ab Hatchling – at the beginning of the encounter, a swarm of hatchlings rush out to attack the party. These creatures are fairly weak and die quickly. However, when each dies, they leave a large blood effect on the ground. A second wave of the hatchlings spawns roughly halfway through the boss fight.
Ak'ab Blood Sacrifice – this ground effect occurs after each hatchling dies. The effect persists for a short period of time, during which it inflicts minor persistent damage. A single tick of the effect is quite minor, persistent standing in the effect is ill advised.
Ground Burst – Once the first wave of adds are defeated, the Unbound Ak'ab enters the arena. He comes in burrowing underground, visible only by the dirt being kicked up from his burrow path. If his path passes over any player, that player is knocked back and takes damage from the Ground Burst effect. This is actually fairly high damage, with a knockback/stun. Worse, players can be knocked into the Blood Sacrifice
Dash – this is the basic physical attack common to mature Ak'ab's everywhere. It is a column attack that does moderate damage with a knockback. The effect is easily avoided and should not impact your party.
Attack – The basic attack from the Unbound Ak'ab triggers roughly every 2 seconds. It is moderately high physical damage. Played properly, this should be the dominant damage source from the fight.

The King's Stilts
by Dr. Seuss
What's Up With the Ending?
Good conquers evil and all is right with the world.
That about sums up the ending of The King's Stilts, which comes to a sweeping close in spectacular children's book fashion. We see the villain, Lord Droon, duly punished as he is holed up into a measles-labeled house and forced to eat Nizzards for the rest of his life. We assume that Nizzards probably don't taste like chicken if this is supposed to be some kind of a terrible punishment.
Plus, we've got the triumph of honesty over deceit at the end, with Eric's truth-telling ways allowing him to find the King, and save Binn. Lord Droon, of course, is caught in his malicious web of lies, and, well, you know what happens next.
But more than anything, the ending reiterates the book's belief that balance is the cat's meow. The natural balance between humans and nature (see more of that in the "Themes" section) is restored when the Dike Trees are back in business holding back that pesky sea. The King and Eric's lives are balanced because they work hard every day and play hard every afternoon—like they used to.
And when the natural order of everything has been restored, peace (and happiness) reigns once more. Oh, and so does King Birtram, natch.

A political battle played out in a place that you normally wouldn't expect.
The Democratic Executive Committee officially challenged the Republicans to a softball game in Bradfordsville on a Sunday no less.

The Democratic Executive Committee held a meeting and the idea to do something for the community came up. Rakes had the idea of playing a softball game and having people bring donations to help The Caring Place of Lebanon.
Sophomore standout Makayla Epps was invited to attend the tryout for the under 16 USA national women's basketball team recently. Those tryouts were held in Colorado Springs, Colo., during the last week of May, and Epps made it through until the final cut.
Originally, 120 prospective team members were attempting to make the team. As each day progressed, a portion of those players were cut. Epps' performance allowed her to remain in the hunt until the final cut in which there were 35 remaining players hoping for a spot on the team.
Makayla Epps and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers, both Marion County Lady Knights sophomore standout basketball players, verbally committed to the University of Louisville last week. University of Louisville Head Coach Jeff Walz has been recruiting both Epps and Goodin-Rogers heavily for quite a while, and finally has landed the two stars. Both players are considered to be two of the top recruits in the 2013 national class, and have each made the Courier-Journal's all state team twice, while having played high school basketball for four years.

Vt. man dies after confrontation with bullJuly 16,2014CASTLETON - A 77-year-old man died Tuesday afternoon after an escaped bull chased him to the ground on a farm on East Hubbardton Road.
Interim Police Chief Steve Dechen said today that Harold Stanyon was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center after being chased by a 1,250-pound brown Swiss bull that he was boarding on his small farm.
Dechen said the bull escaped and began chasing Stanyon who was returning home from jogging.
Witnesses told police that Stanyon fell to the ground and the bull stepped over him, but no trampling or goring injuries were found on Stanyon's body.
Rather, police and the deceased man's doctor believe that Stanyon may have died from a heart attack.
Dechen said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
The bull, which Dechen said was owned by Glen Mar Dairy, was led from the scene by witnesses who harnessed the animal minutes after Stanyon fell to the ground.
Dechen said the owners quickly "got rid" of the animal.MORE IN This Just InIve written much lately about the need for better media literacy and the importance of vetting...

Ready, set, get a science workout at Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC) Cambridge Campus 20th annual Science Night, Monday, Feb. 5, 7 - 8 p.m., when speaker Dr. Dan Halvorsen talks about "Health, Fitness and Energy: The Exercise Medicine Story."
Halvorsen knows how to maximize the health of the human body. He has served as a sports physiologist for amateur and professional athletes in United States, local professional teams and tennis stars Pete Sampras and Monica Seles.
Currently, a physiologist, University of Minnesota Medical School professor, ExMed Clinic, Exercise Physiologist and Director of the Kohl's Power Cubed Exercise Medicine Center at Children's Hospital in St. Paul, Halverson has been working with athletes for nearly 30 years. His talk at Science Night will be of special interest to anyone interested in exercise.
"As a physiologist, I am increasingly surprised and saddened by the decrease of physically fit people in Minnesota, and the rampant health problems of obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, asthma and depression," says Dr. Halvorsen. "At our ExMed Clinic, we use daily exercise to treat these diseases. Exercise is a medicine, a powerful medicine."
An in-demand speaker and a frequent guest on a weekly cable television program hosted by Boynton's Health Services, Halvorsen recently shared his research at the University of Minnesota's Center of Transportation in a presentation entitled, "Exercise Medicine Study for 'Destination Exercise.'"
In the presentation, Halvorsen asserted that walking and biking may be able to solve obesity trends while affecting fossil fuel costs, supply, and efficiency. His research on the subject found a 67.2% adherence rate when a daily walk or bike ride complements daily destinations and an 81.4% adherence rate when routes are efficient, safe, fun, and easily accessible.
The public is invited to join Anoka-Ramsey Community College faculty, staff and students in a leap toward the science of exercise at Science Night.

MM: One part of it is politics. You haven't seen a lot of working together recently. Two, it's really hard. In this country, we have been borrowing beyond our means for decades. Undoing that means doing all the difficult policies—raising revenue, cutting spending, reforming entitlement programs—things that can be done in a smart and thoughtful way, but they're still politically difficult. And third, until recently, I don't think the public understood how important (dealing with the nation's debt) is. … Until recently, I think deficits were really just a confusing and removed issue. Now I think people can see that it's different, but not all that different, from a household. You can't borrow beyond your means with no plans to repay it indefinitely.
MORE: Do you think an agreement will be reached?
MM: The mood changes so regularly, it's very hard to see behind the curtain here. We're talking with everybody on all sides, and I truly believe they care about getting a deal and they understand how important it is for the country. I think we won't go off of the cliff.
MORE: What would going off the fiscal cliff mean to MORE readers?
MM: It's devastating. Recessions are bad enough, in that they come along in a regular business cycle and hurt people so badly, but for the country to have a self-imposed recession is truly unforgiveable. There are so many jobs that are on the line, that if we were to go off of the cliff and start seeing more joblessness instead of less it would be a devastating set-back. It will have an effect on wages, it will have an effect on the stock market. Basically, we could all become both poorer and more uncertain.
As the chief economist for the White House said, some of the biggest damage would come from the psychological damage that comes from saying our government truly can't govern.
MORE: What can each of us do?
MM: People should pick up the phone and call their members of Congress and write them letters and say we want you to work together to fix the problems of the deficit and the debt in this country. There's nothing high-tech or magic about it. Politicians don't like to do hard things – just like none of us do – so they need to hear that you are watching and that you care.

All over the country, public transportation systems move hundreds of thousands of riders on a daily basis. These fleets represent a significant portion of public dollars, largely due to the unpredictable price of fuel. But now public transit systems can rely on a cleaner and more economical fuel – natural gas – thanks to our abundant domestic supply.
Los Angeles made the transition to natural gas buses, and has seen significant benefits as a result. In fact, LA Metro is a prime example of the positive change that can come from adding natural gas to a region's transportation sector. LA Metro has the largest fleet of clean compressed natural gas (CNG) buses in the nation—approximately 2,200. After purchasing its first natural gas bus in 1995, the system retired its last diesel bus in 2011. Annually, LA Metro buses run about 1.5 billion miles a year and as of 2011, LA Metro estimates that its natural gas fleet has collectively driven more than one billion miles.What was behind LA Metro's decision to change to natural gas? Reducing emissions while saving on fuel costs. Since converting to natural gas, officials estimate that they have cut the release of particulates from the bus fleet by 80 percent and greenhouse gases by about 300,000 pounds each day. In what was one of America's most smog-plagued areas, this is especially noteworthy. In addition to the savings for the environment, officials estimate that LA Metro is realizing a 10 to 20 percent operational cost savings on fuel alone. For taxpayers in California's still struggling economy, every public dollar needs to be stretched for maximum value. Thanks to an abundance of supply at affordable prices, natural gas is delivering value for transit systems across the nation.
But are riders noticing the difference? Well if you ask Lizette, one regular LA Metro rider, she'll tell you about the older buses, noting that "before you could see the smoke and the stuff coming out from the bus and they were louder. They are not as loud and you don't see the smoke which caused the smog in LA," adding, "It's cleaner now here in LA."
And Lizette should know: She has been a rider of LA's buses for 20 years and has seen the visible changes thanks to the transition to natural gas.
Greater use in public transportation is just one example of how natural gas can power major fleets with real benefits. Plus the dual benefits of affordability and significantly lower emissions show that with natural gas, we do not have to choose between powering our growing transportation network and cleaning our environment. Natural gas has allowed Los Angeles to demonstrate that, in fact, even large metro areas can have both.
And that's worth thinking about.

Date: December 13 2012
EVERYONE at Coolum is talking about dinosaurs but it was the Shark who had the most vicious bite on PGA eve, with the golf icon saying it will be Rory McIlroy - not Tiger Woods - who breaks the major record held by Jack Nicklaus.
During his streak of supremacy in the late '90s and early 2000s, Woods was unstoppable. It was simply assumed the Golden Bear's mark of 18 major titles would be crushed under his spikes. But with his invincibility on the course spectacularly undone by his fallibility off the greens, Woods' career has stalled at 14 titles, while Northern Ireland's world No. 1 McIlroy has collected a pair at just 23.
Woods is just 36 but Norman, who is playing in the Australian PGA starting on Thursday, believes the American's dominance is over and he'll be unable to win anything near the five remaining titles required.
''I think if anybody can break Nicklaus' record I think he [McIlroy] could, because he is young, he is ahead of the game, he is ahead of the curve on a lot of things and he has a very balanced life across the board,'' Norman said.

text: Rarotonga - All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu has named Ireland as the dark horse at this year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and warned any title contenders will underestimate Pacific teams at their peril. While making it clear that he believes New Zealand are the favourites for the September 9-October 23 tournament, Lomu said Ireland's ageing squad was not being given the respect it deserved. "If there's a team that you have to be wary about, and not many people are talking about them, it's Ireland," Lomu told reporters in the Cook Islands during a trip to promote the World Cup. "Purely because I've watched a lot of their teams. I've watched Leinster play in the Heineken Cup and they were very impressive, especially up front. "A lot of those players are coming to the end of their career and they'll put everything on the line." Ireland are fourth in the International Rugby Board (IRB) world rankings, the highest-placed northern hemisphere team, and showed their capability with a comprehensive 24-8 win over England in the Six Nations tournament. Lomu, who has scored a record 15 tries at World Cups, said conditions in New Zealand would also suit the Irish, while veterans such as Brian O'Driscoll and Ronan O'Gara would be desperate to finish their last World Cup on a high. The 36-year-old said Ireland's low profile could work to their advantage with the spotlight on "the usual suspects" such as South Africa, New Zealand and more recently Australia, after the Queensland Reds won the Super 15 title. "They're going to slide in under the radar because I think everybody's talking about how the (Queensland) Reds have beaten the Crusaders for Australia and France coming without (Sebastien) Chabal," he said. "They're just going to do their job and do what they need to do." Lomu, a devastating winger who made his international debut aged 19 but was forced into early retirement after a long battle with a rare kidney disease, said Pacific nations could play a crucial role in the tournament. He said the hard-tackling islanders could destroy the chances of any side that did not take them seriously. "The wild cards will be the Polynesians. If you take any of those Polynesian teams too lightly - Fiji, Tonga, Samoa - you could get punished physically, and that could take a toll on you later in the tournament," he said. "To win the tournament, you've got to get through fresh but also without any injuries, cross your fingers that you don't have injuries to key players and be ready for the final." Lomu, who was born in New Zealand but spend much of his childhood in Tonga, said he believed the All Blacks could win on home soil. "I'm a through and through All Blacks supporter and they'll be my team but I know there's so many teams to watch out for," he said.

"Chronicle" scribe Max Landis says that right now the sequel to last year's acclaimed found footage superhero film is still making progress, although it is taking time:
"The report came out that they [the studio] didn't like my script. They liked my script. It's just a really dark script. The question is more of 'How do we all compromise to get something we want?' And that's an incredibly slow process… [I am] 60-75% sure that it will be a pretty damn good movie."
Meanwhile, actor Will Forte says that a sequel to his action comedy spoof "MacGruber" will be made, even if he has to do it all by himself:
"We are going to make MacGruber 2 for sure. Whether we have to do it with a video camera in our backyards – there will be some form of MacGruber 2."

The Red-winged Blackbird is one of my favorite birds. Maybe because of its distinct "cuckaree" call that can be heard from far away. Or maybe because it is one of the first of the birds to migrate back and symbolizes that spring is coming.
I was so excited to hear their call down at Lake Estes last week. And then I saw a small flock of them in the tree above by the lake. I quickly got my camera out and clicked away.
It's not a great photograph but it's my first of the year of this beautiful bird this season.
I went home to see when the first date the Red-winged Blackbird has been spotted at Lake Estes and I missed it by less than a week. It was once spotted on Feb. 28th and I saw it on March 5th.
Have you ever seen one? Don't you just love its call?

Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller
"I have to give credit to our guys. Sometimes this is a tough situation, because as a team, there is no one who doesn't want a Pac-10 Championship. At the beginning of the game, we missed the first nine or ten three-point attempts. Part of that comes from feeling so pressured to get the win, that we made things harder on ourselves. Oregon State is a hard team to beat, and when we pressure ourselves like we did tonight, it puts us in a tough situation. Oregon State played hard, as usual, and I have to give them a lot of credit."
"We have clinched at least a share of the conference championship, and I'm very proud of our guys."
"Kyle Fogg has been really engaged in pressuring the ball better. We are not a big team, but we are quick, and pressuring the ball on defense and using our quickness is key. I think some of Oregon State's turnovers were caused because our guys were committed to pressuring the ball, Kyle included. He had six assists and one turnover, which is a great ratio, especially against a team that uses the trap defense. Jordin Maes, Momo Jones, and Kyle all did great tonight at keeping things simple. When we didn't, we played right into the hands of Oregon State."
"Kevin Parrom was very instrumental tonight, and Solomon Hill had a good game. Coming out of LA, there were a number of guys, Solomon included, who struggled. Last week wasn't his best effort, but he worked hard through the past three or four days, and he made some big plays for us tonight."
"I can't thank the crowd enough. Even back in December, people thought there was something wrong, but I didn't think they had a problem. The Zona Zoo is really it. I don't think we could find a better group of students to support us."
"The opportunity to play for the outright championship on Saturday is very exciting. We just have to make sure we don't make the game any bigger than it is. We just have to do what we know to do to be successful."
Arizona Player Quotes
On what Coach Miller said during timeouts:
"You guys saw what we heard, `finish the game and don't be so sloppy.' We tried and we tried and we know right when we get out of Pac-10 we have to be better. We got the W, but we have to clean it up."
On the last two weeks:
"I'd say we all came together and had a common goal to go undefeated at home and win a Pac-10 title. We went to UCLA and USC and we didn't give it our all. Today, we played really hard. It wasn't pretty, but we fought through it."
On the possibility of cutting down the nets on Saturday:
"I think for anyone that's a dream come true. A lot of people would love to trade spots with us. I love where I'm at right now. I don't think it has hit us yet. We don't want to look ahead, that's the worst thing you can do. Just have to go out Saturday and give it our all."
On his last home game on Saturday:
"It's the same as everyone, there's no pressure on our team or me. We will take a victory any way we can."

It's not so much that there weren't newsworthy things to be read in the arts blogosphere this week – if you're here for the serious, you could always check out Hyperallergic's round-up of Ai Weiwei updates or this nifty Art Fag City contemplation of art's spiritual side, but this heat-wave we've suffered through this week has me seeking refuge in simpler pleasures of the sort that have every appearance of springing from a feverish hallucination.
That's right: it's time for Matthew Barney and video games.
Still from Cremaster 3 (The Order) (Source: filmexperience.blogspot.com)
The Art Newspaper opened my eyes to what has to be the best-ever tribute to Matthew Barney's enigmatic Cremaster cycle of films. To quote their introduction, "like other cycles – Ring, laundry – it runs a bit long" so Flux Lasers on YouTube has helpfully condensed the ponderous, laborious feats of the films as game levels from Little Big Planet.
So far you can watch game play for Cremaster 1 and Cremaster 4, as well as The Order from Cremaster 3 (which let's face it, was already a contemporary art version of Donkey Kong played out in the Guggenheim's rotunda), but I've opted to embed Cremaster 2 because it's always been my favourite in the cycle and the custom-designed avatar of Gary Gilmore is simply too freakin' adorable for words.
Now, if only someone would license full-length video games for the entire Cremaster Cycle, I would totally get back into the Playstation addiction I harboured during my undergrad years. Also makes me wonder what other moments in modern art need reinterpretation as video games…

Burfenning v. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis

No. 277
Submitted May 1, 1896
Decided May 18, 1896
While it is well settled that, in the administration of the public land system of the United States, questions of fact are for the consideration and judgment of the Land Department, and its judgment thereon is final, it is equally true that when, by act of Congress, a tract of land has been reserved from homestead and preemption or dedicated to any special purpose, proceedings in the Land Department in defiance of such reservation or dedication, although culminating in a patent, transfer no title, and the patent questioned in this case comes within that general rule of invalidity.
On March 20, 1890, plaintiff in error commenced his action in the District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota, to recover possession of certain islands situated in the Mississippi River and within the territorial limits of the City of Minneapolis. After answer and trial had in that court, which resulted in a judgment for the defendant, and which judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court, this writ of error was sued out.

Getting further involved in this 45" project bike now. I'm increasingly coming to think this frame may be a reconstructed Servicar unit.
It has a 1" neck which fits a Shovelhead stem - that's why I fitted the Shovelead forks, that and I wanted some brakes! When we fitted the rear mudguard it became obvious that the position of the crossbrace was wrong, and it has become increasingly apparent that the various forgings in the area behind the seat post are missing. In short, the bike seems to have a fabricated back end.
This all makes me suspect it is a fabricated unit based on a Servicar front, because the backbone forging and seat post base forgings are certainly there.
Anyone have experience of such a thing?

Men's Soccer Battles Wright State to 1-1 Draw in HL Opener
Sept. 22, 2012
DAYTON, Ohio - Senior midfielder Ivan Stanisavljevicscored his team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 32nd minute, helping the UIC men's soccer team secure a 1-1, double-overtime draw versus preseason favorite Wright State in the Horizon League opener for both teams at Alumni Field Saturday night.
UIC moved to 2-4-2 (0-0-1 Horizon) on the season, while Wright State clinched its first draw of the 2012 campaign, moving to 2-6-1 (0-0-1 Horizon). Four-of the Flames' last five games have been extended to at least one overtime session.
"Wright State got out early at home, and put some pressure on us with that first goal," said Head Coach Sean Phillips. "While we're still working on eliminating some of the mistakes that young teams tend to make, we were able to fight back, capitalize and get to halftime with a 1-1 score, which I felt was what it deserved to be.
"In both the second half and in overtime, we had some moments where we were pretty close to creating the game-winning goal, but Wright State was able to deny us. While you never want to give up three points, to come away with a draw on the road against the preseason favorite and a finalist in our League last year, is a result that we'll build on."
Wright State's Brett Elder got the Raiders on the scoreboard first, burying a goal in the 13th minute (12:59) - it marked his team-leading third goal of the season. Stanisavljevic answered with the equalizer at the 31:52 mark of the first half, converting his second penalty kick of the season. The opportunity was awarded after a hand ball was called on Wright State inside the 18-yard box following a restart.
The Flamed decisively out-shot Wright State 13-9, and held a commanding 10-5 edge on corner kicks. Wright State was whistled for 27 fouls, and Raider goalkeeper Jacob Bye was forced to turn away four shots by UIC. Stanisavljevic led the charge, attempting a game-high seven shots, including three shots-on-goal.
The Flames will travel to SIU-Edwardsville in a non-conference match next Wednesday night (Sept. 26) at 7 p.m. UIC will return home next Saturday (Sept. 29), when the Flames entertain defending Horizon League regular season champion Valparaiso at Flames Field under the lights beginning at 7 p.m. CST.

DeKALB, Ill. - Northern Illinois will see 66 current and former student-athletes leave school with their NIU degrees in 2011-12 as 40 current and former Huskie student-athletes from 11 different sports programs earned their degrees from NIU Saturday. They join the 19 December graduates and seven others scheduled to complete their studies this summer. In all, student-athletes from 16 different sports programs will leave NIU with degrees in hand this year.
NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Jeff Comphersaid graduation is the No. 1 goal for every student-athlete who puts on the Huskie uniform.
"The very first part of our mission statement talks about developing champions in the classroom, and there is no greater measure of that than graduation," Compher said. "Congratulations to our student-athletes for achieving this milestone which will pay dividends for the rest of their lives. Congratulations also to our coaching staff, to the faculty members and advisers on campus, and especially to the staff in the Student-Athlete Academic Support Services (S.A.A.S.S.) Office, led by Liz Tovar, for their guidance and support of our student-athletes."
The group is led by 16 members of the Huskie football team, including four - offensive lineman Matt Krempel, punter Ryan Neir and defensive linemen Daniel Green and Sean Progar - who will return to the squad in 2012 for their senior seasons. Tight end Adam Kiel, one of 11 members of the 2011 senior class on the list, will depart Northern Illinois with two degrees in hand as he earned a second bachelor's degree in operations management and information systems this spring.
The women's track and field/cross country, and women's gymnastics programs contributed 10 and seven graduates, respectively, to the list, while men's and women's soccer and baseball each saw five of their former student-athletes graduate. Every Huskie program except men's golf, which did not have a senior on the roster in 2011-12, had at least one graduate this year.
Northern Illinois 2011-12 student-athlete graduates represent 26 different majors from nearly every college on campus, from art, nursing and elementary education to economics, history, meteorology and biology, to mechanical engineering, marketing, accountancy and finance. There were no more than six student-athletes in any major with organizational & corporate communications leading the way with six and marketing, sociology/criminology, and health sciences (pre-physical therapy) each the choice of five 2011-12 student-athlete grads.
NIU held commencement ceremonies on campus this past weekend. Below is a complete list of NIU's 2011-12 student-athlete graduates by sport with their majors. Returning student-athletes are indicated by a *.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) celebrates the anniversary of a landmark nursing report. At an end-of-the-year Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Lecture, the IOM celebrated the three-year anniversary of its landmark report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, highlighting the report's effects on health care so far and outlining upcoming priorities. A primary accomplishment attributed to the report is the 22% increase in baccalaureate nursing program enrollments between 2011 and 2012. Current nursing priorities include improving population-based approaches to health care, developing education and care models that focus on collaboration across health care disciplines, and readying practitioners to use technology to access information and provide better care.

"ACM takes care of the whole student."
Amanda Deal was apprehensive about attending college with two, young children at home, a husband working full-time, and more than ten years since she last sat in a classroom. She knew college was important for her family's future and was passionate about teaching America's future. She had taught at her church and wanted a career that would work with her children's schedule. After speaking with Allegany College of Maryland's Turning Point Center advisor and Financial Aid personnel, she was ready to stop making excuses and enroll in college to pursue a career as an elementary education math teacher.
She chose Allegany College of Maryland because "ACM takes care of the whole student". Amanda praises ACM faculty and staff for the personal attention they have given to her over the past two years. "They know me by my first name and treat me like family." College has been challenging for Amanda including learning how to interact with a diverse group of students and teaching herself math, which she had forgotten from high school, but she has overcome all of these obstacles. Amanda appreciates the opportunity that ACM and all Maryland Community Colleges offer to students like her by opening the door and providing affordable, convenient access to higher education.
"ACM/CE has provided me with excellent training and the tools I need for a successful career in real estate."
As a newly single mother, shortly after graduating from Frostburg State University, Ali found herself unemployed. At the suggestion of a close family friend, and with the encouragement of her family, she interviewed and was hired by a local real estate office.
Although Ali began as a bookkeeper, her supervisor encouraged her to pursue a license in real estate and appraising. With scholarships offered through the Center for Continuing Education at Allegany College of Maryland, Ali was able to take the Real Estate Sales Agent and Real Estate Appraisal Pre-licensure courses that are necessary to become licensed. After successfully completing the Real Estate classes, Ali passed her exam and is now a licensed agent. She is also currently a licensed trainee appraiser and is working to become a Certified Residential Appraiser. Advancing in her career, she is now the Office Administrator for Coldwell Banker.
Over the past twelve years, Allegany College of Maryland has played a huge role in the positive trajectory of Ali's life and the life of her son, noting that "ACM/CE has provided me with excellent training and the tools I need for a successful career in real estate."

I'm trying to work through a sketch proof attributed to Walter Feit on characterizing $S_5$.
Suppose $G$ is a finite group with exactly two conjugacy classes of involutions, with $u_1$ and $u_2$ being representatives. Suppose $C_1=C(u_1)\simeq \langle u_1\rangle\times S_3$ and $C_2=C(u_2)$ be a dihedral group of order $8$. The eventual result is that $G\simeq S_5$. Also, $C(u)$ denotes the centralizer of $u$ in $G$.
I'm trying to deduce that $|S_2|=0$ or $4$, where $S_i$ is the set of pairs $(x,y)$ with $x$ conjugate to $u_1$, $y$ conjugate to $u_2$, and $(xy)^n=u_i$ for some $n$, and that $C_2$ then has a noncyclic subgroup $V$ such that all involutions in $V$ are conjugate to $u_2$ in $G$. This is part of exercise 10 of page 83, Jacobson's Basic Algebra I. Thanks for any help.
My sparse thoughts: I know a few facts I think are useful (proofs are linked in the numbers to the left hand side):
1. If $c_i=|C(u_i)|$ and $s_i=|S_i|$, then $|G|=c_1s_2+c_2s_1$.
2. $C_2$ is a Sylow $2$-subgroup, and I observe from this that one can assume $u_1\in C_2$ by taking a conjugate.
3. There are $3$ classes of involutions in $C_2$, and if $x$ is an involution distinct from $u_2$, then $x$ is conjugate to $xu_2$ in $C_2$.
I'm lost on how to use this info on the involutions in $C_2$ to count the size of $S_2$. Identifying $C_2$ with $D_8=\langle r,s\mid r^4=s^2=1,\; sr=r^3s\rangle$ and $r^2$ with $u_2$, I know that the two noncyclic subgroups of order $4$ are $\{1,s,r^2,r^2s\}$ and $\{1,rs,r^2,r^3s\}$. I consider the intersection $C:=C_1\cap C_2$. This is a subgroup with order dividing $8$ and $12$, but since I already know $1,u_1,u_2\in C$, then $|C|=4$. I think this might be the desired subgroup $V$. I'm not sure what action of $C_1$ on $u_2$ to consider, since I don't know if left multiplication or conjugation will send $u_2$ back into $C_2$.
