University of Kansas: Anti-NRA Tweet Results in Professor's Suspension
Category: Free Speech
Schools: University of Kansas
On September 16, 2013, a few hours after shootings at Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard, University of Kansas Professor David Guth posted a tweet to his personal Twitter account condemning the National Rifle Association, saying "Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you." Following substantial public pressure and criticism, including from Kansas state legislators, KU placed Guth on administrative leave on September 20. FIRE wrote to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on September 22, pointing out that Guth's expression was fully protected and that a university investigation into his speech on the basis of its content was not acceptable. Chancellor Gray-Little released a statement to the KU community on September 23, clarifying that Guth's suspension was not related to the content of his expression, but defended his suspension by claiming it was necessary to prevent further "disruption."

A new argument for hate-speech laws? Um … no
February 4, 2014
by Jonathan Rauch at The Washington Post You know, it's actually kind of refreshing to read a good old-fashioned listener's-veto critique of the First Amendment. Like sleeve garters, this is not something we see much of anymore. In a recent Daily Beast article, Thane Rosenbaum of Fordham Law School points out that hate speech and the like can cause serious pain and suffering. From there he jumps to the conclusion that such speech should be restricted. "Free speech should not stand in the way of common decency." Hmm. That's a big jump, from harm to restriction. Of course homophobic and anti-Semitic expressions hurt […]» Read More

Controversial 'social media' policy in KS to be revisited
January 7, 2014
by Bob Kellogg After a flood of criticism from free-speech advocates, the Kansas Board of Regents has decided to review a new and very unpopular policy restricting social media comments. The controversial policy (Section C.6.b), which was adopted by the regents in mid-December, addresses the issue of "improper use of social media" by university employees and administration. Since then, however, the policy has attracted a steady stream of criticism from advocates of academic freedom – one categorizing it as "the hair-trigger use of punitive authority whenever the agency's public image is imperiled." In response to such criticism, the board announced last week they will […]» Read More
Critics challenge Kansas Board of Regents' new social media policy
December 24, 2013
by Brad Cooper Opposition is snowballing against a new policy aimed at how faculty and staff at Kansas universities use social media. Two national education groups have condemned the policy, arguing that it threatens the First Amendment rights and academic freedoms enjoyed by faculty. And faculty are increasingly voicing their opposition to the policy, most recently Monday when 40 distinguished professors at Kansas State University called for the policy to be repealed. "I think this is going to have to be changed," said Phil Nel, a K-State English professor who signed the letter sent to the Kansas Board of Regents. […]» Read More
Why States Need Social Media Policies
October 29, 2013
by Melissa Maynard Soon after Indiana Gov. Mike Pence posted a statement on Facebook expressing disappointment in the Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage, a long string of comments affirming his support for "traditional marriage" appeared. What was missing: Comments from people who disagreed with his position, which were promptly being deleted. "His staff tried to make it look like he was living in an echo chamber and everyone in Indiana agreed with him," said Andrew Markle, who, like the governor, is a Republican. Markle launched a website and Facebook account to document what he dubbed "Pencership" – i.e., Pence's censorship. At first, the […]» Read More
KU case shows how backlash from professors' remarks can inflame politicians

by Brad Cooper One professor compared terror victims to Nazis. Another suggested the feds toppled the twin towers. A third accused Republicans of raping the country. And the most recent eyebrow-raiser from an ivory tower: The children of gun rights advocates deserve to be taken out in the next mass shooting. The same colleges and universities whose scholars grab unfriendly headlines must look for money from legislatures that often find their views not just provocative, but offensive. That's exacerbated by campuses perceived to lean left that must seek appropriations from state legislatures that increasingly tilt to the right. Consider the […]» Read More
Why the University of Kansas Was Wrong to Suspend Tweeting Professor
September 25, 2013
After the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard shootings last week, Professor David Guth of the University of Kansas (KU) sparked national controversy by tweeting the following: "#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you."Predictably, a firestorm of criticism followed. In addition to being lambasted online and in the press, Guth says he has received threats, and state legislators have even called for his firing.As First Amendment Center President Ken Paulson has explained, Guth's speech is protected by the First Amendment, offensive though many may find […]» Read More
Protected tweet?
September 23, 2013
by Colleen Flaherty Faculty advocates and free speech experts criticized the University of Kansas Friday after it put a tenured journalism professor on indefinite leave for a controversial tweet he posted in the aftermath of the recent Washington Navy Yard shooting. David W. Guth wrote: "#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you." No one denied that the associate professor's remark was in poor taste. Some experts also said Guth's comment warranted investigation and condemnation by the the university. But his near-immediate suspension may have violated […]» Read More
Kansas Professor's Suspension Over NRA Tweet Draws Rebuke
September 23, 2013
by Jacob Gershman The University of Kansas is coming under fire from a free-speech watchdog group for suspending a journalism professor over his controversial tweets about the National Rifle Association. David Guth, an associate professor of journalism, was put on indefinite administrative leave on Friday for implying on Twitter that he wished violent harm upon the families of the NRA. Hours after last week's Washington Navy Yard rampage, the professor reportedly tweeted: "#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you." A spokesman for the NRA called Mr. […]» Read More

'New York Times' Columnist David Brooks Calls for End to Speech Codes
January 13, 2015
As advocates for free expression struggle to come to terms with last week's tragic and deadly attack against the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, many are asking questions about what this means for freedom of speech everywhere, including in the United States. Last Thursday, New York Times columnist David Brooks asked those who have taken up the cause of free speech in response to the horrific violence against Charlie Hebdo cartoonists to defend speech at all times, even closer to home. If you missed it, it's well worth a read. In particular, Brooks wonders about Americans' commitment to defending free […]» Read More

Professor Explains Why Restrictive Social Media Policies Are So Harmful
May 30, 2014
As we wrote recently on The Torch, the Kansas Board of Regents has approved a revised social media policy regulating the speech of faculty members at the state's public colleges and universities. The Board's decision came despite the fact that the policy has been the subject of much criticism from free speech advocates, including FIRE, due to the fact that it authorizes punishment for constitutionally protected speech and leaves professors uncertain of their expressive rights.
Oliver Bateman, an attorney and professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, expresses many of the same concerns in an excellent column yesterday for Al Jazeera America.» Read More
Kansas Board of Regents Approves Self-Contradictory, Unclear Social Media Policy
May 15, 2014
Yesterday afternoon, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a revised policy on the "improper use of social media" by faculty and staff at the state's public colleges and universities. The widely criticized policy asserts a commitment to freedom of speech yet authorizes punishment for constitutionally protected speech, and it still leaves professors unsure of what speech a university might sanction them for.» Read More
Still Digging: Kansas State Board of Regents' Latest Social Media Policy Remains Flawed
May 9, 2014
Way back in January, I wrote a post here on The Torch telling the Kansas State Board of Regents to reacquaint itself with the first rule of holes: If you're in one, stop digging.
Unfortunately, the Board didn't take my advice. So here we are in May, still talking about how the First Amendment rights of faculty members at Kansas' public universities are threatened by the Board's deeply flawed attempt to regulate social media. To label this lack of progress "disappointing" would be an understatement.» Read More
FIRE Warns Kansas Board of Regents About Inadequate Proposed Social Media Policy Revisions
May 2, 2014
Back in December, the Kansas Board of Regents enacted a policy on the "improper use of social media" by employees of Kansas' public institutions of higher education that put academic freedom at risk. In response to a wave of criticism, the Board created a faculty workgroup to review the policy. The workgroup's proposed policy released in early March, dropped several problematic provisions of the current policy in favor of broad free speech affirmations and narrow exceptions for punishable conduct. The Board Governance Committee has now drafted its proposed policy revisions in response to the faculty. The proposed revisions include promises of academic freedom but also, problematically, leave in place the overbroad and vague provisions that allow for punishment of constitutionally protected expression.
FIRE sent a letter yesterday urging the Board to adopt the language of the faculty workgroup policy in order to avoid the serious problems presented by both the current policy and the BGC's proposal.» Read More

Kansas Faculty Workgroup Drafts Social Media Policy Affirming First Amendment and Urging Best Practices

In January, the Kansas Board of Regents created a "workgroup" of public university faculty and staff to review the Board's controversial new policy on "improper use of social media."

KU Senate Urges Kansas Board of Regents to Suspend Controversial Social Media Policy
February 10, 2014
Last month, the Kansas Board of Regents denied a faculty group's request for the suspension of the Board's controversial and overbroad social media policy while that policy was being reviewed. Now the University of Kansas (KU) Senate has approved a resolution reiterating that the policy "infringes on the right to freedom of expression" and should be suspended pending review. As Torch readers may recall, the policy, passed in December, allows the chief executive officer of a university to fire a faculty member if he or she posts anything on social media that "impairs … harmony among co-workers" or is, in […]» Read More
Kansas Faculty Workgroup Plans to Rewrite Overbroad Policy
January 27, 2014
Earlier this month, the Kansas Board of Regents created a "workgroup" to review its overbroad and vague new policy on "improper use of social media" by faculty at Kansas public colleges and universities. As my colleague Will Creeley reported last Thursday, the Board refused to suspend the policy during review, leaving faculty still at risk of being fired for posts that "impair[] … harmony among co-workers" or are "contrary to the best interest of the university," among other things. But happily, the workgroup has already shown greater respect for faculty free speech rights—the Lawrence Journal-World reported Friday that the group plans to "disregard th[e] policy and […]» Read More
Hey, Kansas Board of Regents: Remember the First Rule of Holes…
January 23, 2014
Last week, Peggy Lowe of Kansas City public radio station KCUR reported that the Kansas Board of Regents has denied a faculty group's request that the Board immediately suspend the frighteningly broad social media policy it imposed system-wide late last December. This latest headscratcher is conclusive proof that the Board has entirely forgotten the first rule of holes: When you find yourself in one, stop digging. Surely Torch readers remember this gem of a speech code—but if you need a refresher, this is the one that allows for the firing of a professor whose post on Twitter "impairs … harmony among co-workers" or whose Facebook […]» Read More
Pittsburg State President Unintentionally Concedes Problem with Kansas Social Media Policy
January 13, 2014
Facing mounting criticism that its new policy on "improper use of social media" endangers not just academic freedom but potentially also the University of Kansas's accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, the Kansas Board of Regents is continuing with its plan to form a "workgroup" that will review the policy. Faculty rights advocates are concerned about the policy's broad and vaguely-worded prohibitions on, among other things, "impair[ing] harmony among co-workers" or making a communication that is, according to a university's CEO's judgment, "contrary to the best interest of the university." And in trying to alleviate faculty concerns, Pittsburg State University (PSU) President Steve Scott has illustrated exactly why […]» Read More
Do Kansas Regents' New Social Media Restrictions Threaten Accreditation?
January 9, 2014
Professor Susan Twombly, chairwoman of the University of Kansas' (KU's) Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, believes that the Kansas Board of Regents' new social media restrictions on faculty threatened the accreditation of KU. Why? The Lawrence Journal-World (Kan.) reports: Her concerns largely center on one of the criteria for accreditation through the HLC, which requires that the university be "committed to freedom of expression and the pursuit of truth in teaching and learning," as stated in an HLC accreditation guide. Another component requires the university to establish and follow "fair and ethical policies for its governing board, administration, faculty and staff." […]» Read More
Kansas Board of Regents to Review Controversial Social Media Policy
January 2, 2014
The Kansas Board of Regents announced Tuesday that it will create a "workgroup" to review the new policy on "improper use of social media" by faculty that has earned a steady stream of criticism from academic freedom advocates since it was adopted two weeks ago. FIRE, the ACLU of Kansas, and the National Coalition Against Censorship sent a joint letter (PDF) to the Board on December 20, urging a repeal of the policy. As we noted in our letter, the policy puts protected faculty speech at risk for censorship or punishment because it is both overbroad and vague. The Board's new statement says: Because of concerns expressed regarding the Board of […]» Read More
'Slate' Slams Kansas Board of Regents' Outrageous New Social Media Policy
December 24, 2013
As a Torch reader, you're probably already familiar with the controversial new social media policy adopted last week by the Kansas Board of Regents that empowers public universities in the state to terminate faculty whose speech in social media, among other things, "impairs discipline by superiors or harmony among co-workers" or "is contrary to the best interest of the university," whatever that means in practice. Yesterday, Slate columnist Rebecca Schuman joined the chorus of critics condemning the policy. In her column, titled "The Brave New World of Academic Censorship," Schuman explains the tremendous threat this policy poses to professors' academic freedom and free speech. She writes: This new policy will effectively […]» Read More

December 23, 2013
On Friday, FIRE, the ACLU Foundation of Kansas, and the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) sent a joint letter (PDF) to the Kansas Board of Regents urging the Board to rescind its controversial new policy restricting the use of social media by faculty and staff at public colleges and universities across the state. Among other things, the policy allows for a professor's employment to be terminated when his or her speech "impairs … harmony among co-workers" or if, in the sole opinion of a university's chief executive officer, the speech is "contrary to the best interest of the university." After a wave of criticism (PDF) from […]» Read More
FIRE, AAUP Express Alarm Over New Kansas Social Media Policy
December 20, 2013
The Kansas Board of Regents adopted a new policy Wednesday that subjects faculty and staff speech on social media to vaguely-worded and broad restrictions. The nine-member board approved the policy, which governs dozens of colleges and universities across Kansas, with little, if any, input from professors. While a press release issued by the Board claims that the policy relies on language from the U.S. Supreme Court and has been approved by the state attorney general, professors and civil libertarians have pointed to several aspects of the policy that put professors' First Amendment rights at risk. The policy change comes in the wake of the controversy surrounding […]» Read More
U. of Kansas Professor Assigned to Non-Classroom Duties
October 28, 2013
The University of Kansas (KU) released a statement last Thursday that David Guth, the professor who was put on administrative leave after a controversial tweet last month, will not return to teaching in the classroom this year. Instead, "Guth has been assigned additional non-classroom responsibilities … including various service and administrative assignments" which "will be completed away from campus to the greatest extent possible." The statement explains the decision, which was made by seven members of the faculty and staff: "The committee conducted a full review, and their input was instrumental in arriving at this decision," Gray-Little said.

The statement reads: As members of the faculty and staff of the University of Kansas, the undersigned individuals […]» Read More

Recently, FIRE's Will Creeley took to The Huffington Post to explain why the University of Kansas significantly erred in suspending journalism professor David Guth, who became a lightning rod of controversy following a controversial tweet in the aftermath of September's Navy Yard shootings. FIRE wrote to KU on September 22; KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released a statement attempting to mollify the situation. While Gray-Little clarified that the suspension was "not because of the nature of the professor's comments," she nonetheless justified it by stating that it was imposed "to avoid further disruption of the learning environment.

Germany to be battered by recession
GERMANY is staring at possible recession as the country's central bank yesterday slashed its growth forecast in the face of deepening eurozone gloom.
The Bundesbank said it expects Europe's powerhouse economy to grow by just 0.4 per cent in 2013, compared with its June forecast of 1.6 per cent, but warned that economic activity may fall in the final quarter of 2012 and the first three months of next year, thus representing a recession.
The impact of the eurozone debt crisis and sluggish global growth was reflected in a surprise 2.6 per cent fall in German industrial production in October, the largest monthly decline since April 2009.
The Bundesbank said: "Given the difficult situation in some euro-area countries, economic growth will be lower than assumed. The cyclical outlook for the German economy has dimmed. Enterprises are cutting back their investment and hiring fewer new staff."
The cyclical outlook for the German economy has dimmed
The news sent the euro lower against the US dollar as expectations rose that the European Central Bank would cut interest rates early next year. Simon Smith, chief economist at broker FxPro Forex, said: "It's difficult to see how Germany could escape a mild recession if growth slumps to this level."

John Maine isn't a project the way Mike Pelfrey and Oliver are, but he's a question nonetheless. When healthy, the Mets have a reasonable idea what to expect from Maine, once considered a throw-in in the Kris Benson with Baltimore.
But, how healthy is Maine?
"It feels fine,'' Maine said at the start of spring training when asked about his surgically repaired shoulder. "It feels like it did three, four years ago.''
Three years ago appeared to be a breakout year for Maine, who made 32 starts and went 15-10 with a 3.91 ERA. However, Maine complained of fatigue in his shoulder the following summer and eventually missed his last seven starts because of surgery to remove bone spurs in his shoulder.
Surgery was deemed successful, but by his own admission he rushed his comeback saying "maybe I was trying to make up for lost time.''
Maine made only 15 starts last season and went 7-6 with a 4.43 ERA. Maine's biggest problem last year was an inability to amp it up and pitch out of trouble. He came back at the end of the year to show he was recovering, then modified his off-season program by starting later and throwing less.
Today's start against the Florida Marlins won't be about getting people out as it will be another test for his shoulder and to see what he might have picked up working with Sandy Koufax earlier this spring.
Koufax had Maine using a longer stride when delivering his fastball and concentrating on working on the inner half of the plate.
When healthy the Mets have a good idea from what to expect from Maine, although the organization believes the potential ceiling is higher with Pelfrey and Perez.
"I think being able to go out there every five days,'' Maine said when asked the key for a successful season from him. "When I do go out there I generally give the team a chance to win.''
Here's the line-up behind Maine:
Angel Pagan CF
Fernando Martinez RF
David Wright 3B
Jason Bay LF
Daniel Murphy 1B
Rod Barajas C
Russ Adams 2B
Ruben Tejada SS
John Maine RP

With the Senate set to consider a comprehensive gun package next month, President Obama urged Congress to seriously consider all of the gun measures which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, including the contentious assault weapons ban.
"These ideas shouldn't be controversial - they're common sense. They're supported by a majority of the American people. And I urge the Senate and the House to give each of them a vote," the president said in his weekly address.
"Right now, we have a real chance to reduce gun violence in America, and prevent the very worst violence. We have a unique opportunity to reaffirm our tradition of responsible gun ownership, and also do more to keep guns out of the hands of criminals or people with a severe mental illness," he said. "We've made progress over the last three months, but we're not there yet. And in the weeks ahead, I hope members of Congress will join me in finishing the job - for our communities and, most importantly, for our kids."
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid moved the Senate Democrats' gun control legislation to the calendar, which sets up its consideration when the Senate returns from recess next month. The bill includes a gun trafficking proposal and the controversial universal background check, a portion which Republicans and moderate Democrats have voiced concerns about.
But stripped completely from the bill is the assault weapons ban. Instead, it will be considered as an amendment to the bill.
In a news conference in New York City on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden urged those who are skeptics about the assault weapons ban to "Think about Newtown" when weighing the need for the legislation.
After issuing his proposals for gun reform in January, President Obama remained relatively silent on guns while lawmakers have hammered away at the details of the proposals as he has dealt with a budget battle. The vice president has served as the administration's main mouthpiece on the topic of guns in recent months.
As the country still grapples with how to prevent tragedies like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School three months ago, the president extended his condolences to the families of the 20 children and 6 educators who lost their lives in the massacre last December.
"For the families who lost a loved one on that terrible day, three months doesn't even begin to ease the pain they're feeling right now. It doesn't come close to mending the wounds that may never fully heal," he said.

US Gov't Thinks Censorship Is Bad, Unless It's Paid For
from the funny-how-that-works dept
Person: Hey, there are child porn sites everywhere!It may seem quite amazing that the government seems to have a massive blindspot to how copyright conflicts with the First Amendment, but one big difference (of course) is that it's only that last situation that has a group of legacy industry players with strong lobbyist ties to DC pushing for such censorship to protect their outdated business models. And, suddenly, the rest of the chat makes a lot more sense.
Government: We are working on it.
Person: Hey, there's these pro-anorexia sites telling young girls to starve themselves!

Nutty & Sweet: 9 Fall Recipes with Brown Butter
Butter on its own is already pretty amazing stuff. But cook it down until it becomes nutty and delicately sweet, then drizzle it over a plate of pasta or some roasted vegetables, and it is pure kitchen magic. Any dish can benefit from some brown butter, in my opinion. Here are nine that take it to another level.
First off, a primer. Brown butter might be culinary magic, but making it is not. It's easy. Just put the butter, any amount you need, into a pan and turn the heat to medium. Let it melt, then foam, and then watch it go from pale gold to deep brown. Your kitchen will also start to smell crazy-good. For a more detailed explanation, check out this tutorial:
Brown butter goes particularly well with the flavors of fall. Pair it with mushrooms, nuts, roasted vegetables, or squash. A sprinkle of sage or rosemary, and you're good to go. With its sweet nuttiness, brown butter is also fabulous in baked goods.
Ready for some recipes? Here you go:
• Rosemary Walnut Brown Butter Cookies
• Potatoes, Green Beans, and Corn with Lemon-Brown Butter Sauce
• Orecchiete with Chanterelle Mushrooms, Sage, Walnuts, and Brown Butter
• Brown Butter Sage Cashews
• Brown Butter and Maple Glazed Turnips
• Fettuccine with Butternut Squash, Sage, and Brown Butter
• Brown Butter Ice Cream
• Open-Faced Ravioli with Poached Egg and Wilted Greens in Lemon-Brown Butter Sauce
• Browned Butter Butterscotch Pie

Popular Chinese news site Sohu posted these pics of an incredibly resourceful pickpocket stealing an iPhone from a woman on a moving bicycle! These amazing photos were taken in downtown Zhengzhou and instantly became a Chinese web sensation, leading to the perpetrator turning himself in. The thief, dubbed in the Chinese media as "Suit Man" (or, hilariously, "Suit Male" by Google Translate) was caught on camera deftly sniping the cherished device while jogging behind its oblivious owner.
After the images went viral, Suit Male, a man named Wang, turned himself in and probably ended his career as the Best Pickpocket Ever. Like a great sword being interned into stone, he'll be retiring his chopsticks into the little paper sheath of history.
All that's left for Wang now is to atone for his two-pronged crime and face the music (which is probably Chopsticks, by the way). I, for one, think a theft this impressive warrants a Get Out of Jail Free card. At very least he deserves a slap on the wrist in exchange for community service. He could teach proper chopstick etiquette to messy kids or maybe Mr. Miyagi style pest control!
All kidding aside, he told a local journalist that he began stealing to support himself and his daughter, who he's raising as a single parent. So, I almost feel for the guy and I wish him the best despite his mistakes. Hopefully his notoriety will lead to some TV appearances or a job. I see a chopstick brand sponsorship deal in his future! Or not.
Take a look at these pics and have your mind blown below. Truly a master at work, he wields those things like Picasso holding a brush.
And remember, chopsticks are for food and not for criminal activity.

Competing for the first time this season, the No. 14 University of Redlands football team fell short of the repeat upset over No. 13 North Central College (IL) in Saturday's rematch of a year ago. Despite surpassing their opponents with 19 first downs and 318 yards of offense, the Bulldogs suffered a tough 16-42 road-loss to the Cardinals in Naperville, IL.
After North Central initiated the scoring on its opening drive, the Maroon and Gray answered with a touchdown with 4:44 remaining in the first stanza. Senior quarterback Chad Hurst (Dixon, CA) moved the Bulldogs 72 yards on 13 plays, with senior running back Brad Crisanty (Granite Bay, CA) book-ending the drive with effective carries. Crisanty's final one-yard scamper broke into the end zone and junior kicker Kevin Grady (Seattle, WA) split the uprights on his point-after try to even the score at seven apiece.
However, the second quarter saw a prolific Cardinal offense take advantage of opportunity by converting three scores in the final nine minutes of the half. Unfortunately, the deficit proved to be too big for the Bulldogs.
During the fourth frame, Redlands benefited from an intentional grounding call that led to a team safety after junior defensive lineman Steven Locke Jr. (Barstow, CA) successfully pressured the North Central quarterback.
The Bulldogs' final drive of the game included a pair of bright spots in freshman running back Curtis Tanquary (San Jose, CA) and junior quarterback Will King (Scottsdale, AZ). The back-up play-caller completed four of his five passes for 38 yards, while Tanquary capped off the team's 12-play, 95-yard effort with a six-yard scoring run.
Overall, Tanquary served as the team's top ball carrier with 79 yards on nine attempts for an average of 8.8 yards per rush. While the two-headed quarterback system connected with eight different receivers, senior wide receiver Peter Adams (Laguna Niguel, CA) led the Bulldogs with five receptions for 55 yards.
After making the move from tight end to linebacker, senior Greyson Alman (Fontana, CA) performed admirably with a team-high five tackles on the night.
Redlands (0-1) looks to rebound on Saturday, September 15, when it hosts Pacific Lutheran University (WA) in a clash of regional foes at 7 p.m. in Ted Runner Stadium. Fans are invited to attend the annual "Rah Rah Redlands" pre-game event that includes food trucks, music and more, beginning at 4:30 p.m.

More About:
Life within the Naval Air Systems Command these days resembles one of TV's overheated Washington soap operas, awash with secrets, feuds and factions. The plot has had some suitably mysterious turns, like a "clerical error" that led to publication of a $20 billion solicitation for more F/A-18s in October, which was denounced so emphatically that there was obviously something to it.
But no drama is complete without a covert subplot wrapped in another secret, which is the writing of the requirement for the Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (Uclass) system. There are at least two groups in the Pentagon with fundamentally different visions of what Uclass should look like, and there is not much time before a clear decision must be made.
Stealth is critical to any unmanned air system, as I pointed out nine months ago (AW&ST March 18, p. 14), because an unmanned aerial system (UAS) can't shoot back, or even evade threats very well. The Uclass debate is not about whether to have stealth, but how much of it the Navy wants to pay for.
The subject of degrees of stealth is not much discussed, because of secrecy, and because companies with big financial stakes prefer that people continue to assume that all stealth is created equal.
It's not. There have been multiple levels of stealth since Northrop's Tacit Blue demonstrated all-aspect radar cross-section (RCS) reduction and the Advanced Technology Bomber requirement that led to the B-2 and called for ultra-low RCS extending into the VHF band.
There are more levels today: The Advanced Super Hornet falls between most in-service fighters and the F-35, which in turn is not quite as good in RCS as the F-22, while the F-22—and anything else that has body parts in the same size range as VHF wavelengths—isn't the same as blended-wing-body designs, from Neuron to the RQ-180 and B-2. Russia's determined effort to field mobile, powerful VHF radars makes those distinctions more important than ever.
But the Navy wants Uclass quickly and (in Pentagon terms) cheaply. Some UAS supporters believe speed and low cost are essential to overcome opposition and inertia from a pilot-dominated community. Others don't want to see a penetrating, offensive Uclass landing on a carrier, competing too obviously with the F-35C, which looks very expensive compared to a Super Hornet and has yet to land on a carrier. Nobody forgets that the seminal studies of a carrier-based armed UAS depicted it as the air wing's key long-range strike weapon.
The fast-and-cheap team's simple Uclass is reflected by General Atomics's design. It has chines and edge alignments, but the tails give the game away. It's not going to go up against a world-class defense, at least not twice. Some factions see it as a counter-terror system, a seagoing Reaper.
But the U.S. already has more Reapers than it needs, and the added value of being able to cover remote locations from a carrier station is dubious. Putting a carrier strike group to work hunting terrorists is like sending a pack of Rottweilers to catch mice. A cat will do, and costs less to feed.
That logic motivates people in the Navy, and elsewhere in the Pentagon, who want a high-end Uclass. Their hand has been strengthened in public this year by the success of the X-47B carrier trials, and in secret by some interesting results from design studies. They should win this one.
The place to find the money for that is in the F-35 program (AW&ST Aug. 19, p. 19). Since the summer, the case for buying 340 F-35Bs for the Marines has been weakened by the service's admission that only 10% of operations will use the heavy, expensive short-takeoff-and-vertical-landing kit. What that implies is that the F-35B will only do Stovl when it is part of small detachments on amphibious-warfare ships; 100 F-35Bs would be more than enough for that.
So what replaces the majority, expeditionary land-based piece of Marine air, now equipped with aging Hornets? The Marines are all about close air support (CAS). They want to operate from runways that are shorter and rougher than most fighters need. Wouldn't it be great if someone had a force of around 200 dedicated CAS aircraft they were trying to divest?
They do and they are. They're called A-10s (AW&ST Dec. 9, p. 15) and transferring them to the Marines would do more than create a durable, focused force to provide CAS, not just for the Marines but for the Army and special operations forces. It would give the Navy's army's air force a mission.

Third Finding of the Precious Head of St. John the Baptist
May 25
Because of the vicissitudes of time, the venerable head of the holy Forerunner was lost for a third time and rediscovered in Comana of Cappadocia through a revelation to 'a certain priest, but it was found not, as before, in a clay jar, but in a silver vessel, and "in a sacred place." It was taken from Comana to Constantinople and was met with great solemnity by the Emperor, the Patriarch, and the clergy and people. See also February 24.

We caught up with designer Liz Lange at the tenth anniversary of Liz Lange Maternity for Target. The style maven, and mom of two, gave us some fashion tips for mamas-to-be who want to rock their maternity clothes.
How do you balance career and motherhood? I don't balance it. That's why it's so delicate. It's a constant juggling act. Things go wrong all the time, but I just try to go with the flow. It's not easy and I really admire the women out there that are doing it without any help. I have help at the office, I have help at home, and that's the secret to my success.
What is your number one style suggestion for a woman who is expecting? You must keep it fitted. Do not wear those oversized muumuus. Don't try to hide your body. Celebrate your body. Wear things that are fitted. You will look sexy and thinner—ironically so!
What is the biggest fashion mistake that new moms make? Expecting moms are always trying to hide their pregnancy. They think if they wear something oversized it's going to make them look skinner and it's going to hide their pregnancy, but it is quite the opposite.
Would you ever design clothing for children? I have before and I love it. Right now, I've got a new women's collection for the Home Shopping Network, so I am pretty focused on that. And on my clothing line. And on my new diaper bag line for Target!
Your daughter is eleven now. What sort of things does she like to wear? She is very trendy. She likes skinny jeans and layered crop tops with those skinny, longer tanks under them, maxi dresses, and short-short skirts. She's an aspiring fashion designer.
How has the Liz Lange line evolved since you became a mother? I wasn't a mother when I started, but I got pregnant within my first year. In the beginning, I started with like eight easy pieces, and I thought that's all you needed. Then I got pregnant and every time I needed something, I designed it. I needed a bathing suit, I needed a dressy dress, I needed a pair of shorts, and it just grew from there.
First word that pops into your head when you say "mom:" Sexy.

There's nothing more fun for a child than to go on a hunt for eggs to fill their Easter basket.
And when those eggs are filled with candy, well, it doesn't get sweeter than that. Unless, of
course, those eggs and candy are used for fun math activities. Here are 5 easy and engaging educational activities to do with your preschooler or kindergartner using plastic Easter eggs and jelly
1. Missing Addend: Choose a number your child is comfortable with, say '7'. Help her
count out seven jelly beans then tell her not to peek while you hide some under one of
the egg shells. After you've hidden the jelly beans have her use the jelly beans that
are left to help her figure out how many are hidden. Write the number on a piece of
paper so that she is reminded how many there are all together. If she needs help,
show her how to use a number line to figure out the answer. After you've played a few
times, let her hide some for YOU to figure out!
2. More/Less: Using two plastic eggs, start simply by placing one jelly bean inside one of
the eggs and 5 in the other egg. Ask your child which one he thinks has more by
letting him shake the eggs. After he makes his prediction, let him open each egg and
see if he was right. Be sure to count the jelly beans and use the words five jelly beans
is more than one jelly bean. Do this several times changing the number of beans in
each egg. Then change it up by asking which egg has less jelly beans.
3. Number Recognition: Write the numbers 1 – 10 on 10 plastic eggs. Fill each egg with
that many jelly beans. Have your child order the numbers from least to greatest. To
confirm that the numbers are in the correct order, have her open each egg and count
the beans. Organizing the beans in a column will visually show how each counting
number is one more than the previous number.
4. Estimation: Fill the smaller egg shell with jelly beans. Have your child estimate how
many she thinks are in the shell. Then put the jelly beans into a pile of ten and a pile of
the left-over ones. Help your child count the total by starting at ten then adding on the
ones: ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Next, fill up the larger shell and ask her if
she thinks there will be more, less or the same number of jelly beans in this shell
compared to the one she just counted. Again, sort into a pile of ten and left-over ones
and count the total. Ask her how she made her prediction.
5. Patterns: Using 5 - 10 egg shells or jelly beans, make a color pattern. Have your child
add on to the pattern. Then have your child make one for YOU to add on to.

Xavi to reconcile with Van Gaal?
Who needs Brazil? Away we go with another edition of Transfer Talk with all the latest news, rumours and gossip about player moves in club football.
United in shock Xavi link
You'd think Xavi would be sick of the sight of Louis van Gaal after Netherlands humiliated Spain, but he could yet end up working with the man who broke his heart on Friday night.
That's because the Daily Express reckon the Barcelona midfield maestro could be considering his options at the Nou Camp.
Van Gaal, once he's come down off the ceiling from that 5-1 thumping he handed to Xavi and co., has a World Cup to negotiate before he sets about overhauling Manchester United's creaking midfield.
Xavi's existing deal runs until 2016 and could be a victim of Luis Enrique's rebuilding -- question is, with Marouane Fellaini patrolling the United midfield, do they really need the Spain legend?
LVG doesn't want Bayern star
Elsewhere from Old Trafford, an intriguing line from the Manchester Evening News, who reckon Bastian Schweinsteiger is not on Van Gaal's wish list.
Why not?
Santi coming to town
Madrid, to be precise. Curious one this, as AS claim Santi Cazorla could be returning to Spain for around 17 million pounds. He recently signed a new contract at Arsenal but manager Arsene Wenger is keen to add some more pace into his side.
In the same article, it is suggested that Manchester United could look to dangle Javier Hernandez as bait in their pursuit of Atleti defender Miranda.
Barca love Lovren
Transfer Talk loves a gazumping, and that's the fate that potentially awaits Liverpool because Barcelona are keen on Brendan Rodgers target Dejan Lovren.
Poor old Southampton's reward for a fine season in the Premier League is a smattering of vultures circling their top stars.
Centre-back Lovren is one of them, and, although Rodgers is keen on the 24-year-old, Barcelona are said to be interested, too.
Sport say Barcelona are stepping up their chase, and when you look back at Gerard Pique's performance against Netherlands, you can see why.
Liverpool get the Benz
It's a long shot, but it is being suggested that Karim Benzema could part ways with Real Madrid this summer. The Frenchman's deal expires in 2015, and the two parties are apart in talks over a new contract.
This is where the plot thickens -- Madrid fancy a piece of Luis Suarez (specifically, his two working legs, Transfer Talk guesses), and they would be open to flogging Benzema in order to hatch such a scheme.
Going for A. Song
It's really difficult reporting on rumours regarding Barca's Alex Song because we can't shift this trophy exchange from our minds.
But we'll crack on and say that reports in Spain reckon the Cameroon international is heading to the exit door. It'll cost potential suitors 10 million pounds to land the former Arsenal man, with Chelsea the latest name to be thrown into the mix.
Bony not Toon-bound
Newcastle have had their noses rubbed right in it by Wilfried Bony's agent, who says they could have landed him for 10 million pounds last summer. They didn't, Swansea did and the Ivorian bagged 25 goals in his debut season.
He's become hot property as a result, but Bony's agent says in the Echo that Newcastle can forget about it now because he wants a club with ambition.
Somewhere in north London, Wenger's eyes just widened.
Koeman's a Saint
Manager talk now, and Southampton fans grumpy with news about Lovren's potential exit might be cheered by the Daily Mirror's claim that they might have finally found Mauricio Pochettino's successor.
His name? Ronald Koeman, who is reported to have agreed a deal to move to the South Coast.

Bells Toll for 9/11
New York (AP) - the 12th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks has started with solemn bell tolls and a moment of silence at the World Trade Center site. The moment of silence marked the time when the first plane hit the Twin Towers on a clear, sunny day in 2001. Then, families of the victims started reading aloud the names of those who died. A second bell tolled to mark when the second plane hit the Twin Towers. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Gov. George Pataki attended, as well as Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Anthony Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Just like that, as quickly as badges for the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International went on sale Saturday morning, they sold out, event organizers confirmed.
According to David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for Comic-Con, this summer's comic book and pop culture event is now completely sold out. As in previous years, Glanzer said organizers put a cap at 130,000 attendees -- which includes fans, vendors, volunteers and organizers.
Glanzer said he wasn't sure how many of those badges actually sold Saturday morning, as organizers don't tally that number separately from the overall number of badges sold or issued throughout the distribution process.
He did, however, say that all available badges sold out within an hour-and-a-half Saturday morning. General admission badge sales officially began at 9 a.m. By 10:30 a.m., every ticket to the event had vanished.
For Saturday's badge sale, customers were encouraged to log onto the Comic-Con website by 7 a.m.
In order to participate in the sale, prospective attended needed to have already obtained a unique Member ID from Comic-Con. Those eligible to partake in Saturday's sale received an email notice ahead of time with instructions.
Now, as experienced Comic-Con fans know, the event is notoriously known to sell out quickly each year.
Still, that didn't keep Comic-Con hopefuls who couldn't snag a ticket this time from feeling the disappointment.
Many took to Twitter to express their frustrations.
I have been wanting to go to #ComicCon for years. Last year was the best time to go but it was a war to get any tickets. Someday....
— Jennifer (@kojaky) March 15, 2014
Damn man I can't wait for comic con to not be trendy again so the tickets won't sell out so quick.
— Eddard (@SameOLEddie) March 15, 2014
Sure--you can be shown where to KNOCK on the ComicCon reg door--doesn't mean they answer#ComicContickets
— J Z (@JayGurl73) March 15, 2014
Three hours in an online waiting room for San Diego Comic-Con tickets and got nothing... Maybe next year?
— Briana Hampton (@hamptonbriana17) March 15, 2014
Some of the lucky fans who were able to snatch a badge also went on Twitter to celebrate.
— ☠ whitley ☠ (@KVTLVDY) March 15, 2014
So far so good today, managed to snag Comic-Con tickets for 2 days.
— BadServo (@BadServo) March 15, 2014
After three years of trying to get tickets, I'm finally going to @Comic_Con this yearrrr
— (@bieberhermosa) March 15, 2014
In the past, the Comic-Con ticket sales website has experienced glitches and hiccups, including in November 2010 when fans trying to purchase tickets to the 2011 convention were met with frustrating error messages as the website crashed during the high-traffic frenzy for badges.
In 2013, more than 130,000 people managed to snag badges and attend San Diego Comic-Con. Last year's event offered more than 600 hours of programming spanning 460,000-square-feet of exhibit hall space at the San Diego Convention Center.
By the way, this year's Comic-Con kicks off on Jul. 24. Badge prices for adults ranged from $30 to $45 per day, depending on the day. On Thursday (Jul. 24), Friday (Jul. 25) and Saturday (Jul. 26), for example, the cost of a one-day badge was $45.
Comic-Con was born in 1970 in the basement of the U.S. Grant Hotel in the heart of San Diego. Over the decades, the "little event that could" has grown into a behemoth, taking over the Convention Center, neighboring hotels and downtown San Diego for a long summer weekend every year.
Comic-Con's fervent fans typically attend the convention in elaborate costumes, transforming the city into a metropolis straight out of the pages of fantasy and science fiction. The event has also become famous for celebrity sightings.

Have people gotten blase about low mortgage rates?
After rising a bit during August, 30-year mortgage rates recently fell back to their record low of 3.49 percent. There was little fanfare. The U.S. is seeing the lowest mortgage rates since comprehensive records started to be kept in 1971, yet people are taking them in stride. However, if you are still waiting to refinance your mortgage, you may be playing a dangerous game.
Continue Reading Below
The importance of refinancing
Even though mortgage rates have been low for a few years now, there are reasons to believe that many people have not yet maximized their refinancing opportunities.
For one thing, people whose home values fell below their remaining loan balances have generally been prevented from refinancing. However, with the passage of time and some recovery in the housing market, they may now be in a position to refinance.
Another thing is that mortgage rates have fallen so far that even people who have refinanced once may now be able to do it again and save still more money. Given the extraordinary drop in mortgage rates, don't assume that refinancing once is enough.
Just because mortgage rates have been low for a long time now, and the Fed has promised continued intervention in the bond market to hold rates down, you shouldn't have a false sense of security about rates remaining this low indefinitely. There is one thing that could send mortgage rates higher in a hurry: inflation.
Three warning signs for inflation
Mortgage rates generally stay ahead of the prevailing inflation rate -- after all, banks won't want to make a loan if they don't think they'll get more back than the rate of inflation over the term of the loan. Mortgage rates have been able to stay low in recent years because inflation has been very mild. However, there are at least three reasons to suspect this might change:
- A warning shot in August. Inflation had been calm so far in 2012, until the Consumer Price Index jumped by 0.6 percent in August. That may just be a one-off reminder of what inflation can do, but even a warning shot can become a self-fulfilling prophecy if it scares manufacturers and retailers into boosting their prices to keep up.
- Unrest in the Middle East. Anti-American riots across the Middle East are just the latest reminder of how vulnerable the oil supply is. It doesn't take much of a disruption to send oil prices higher -- especially once speculators start piling on.
- Changes in China. Workers in Shanghai recently rioted over labor conditions at a Foxconn factory, which supplies electronics to prominent U.S. firms such as Apple, Dell, and Microsoft. It is a reminder that while China has long been a source of cheap consumer goods for the U.S., its economic development could mean that its workers will start to demand more. Throw in some election-year protectionism on the part of U.S. politicians and you have a formula for higher import prices.
The lack of compelling investment opportunities these days has many people frustrated. However, a compelling opportunity to save money should be greeted with at least as much enthusiasm as an attractive investment -- meaning it may be wise to assess your refinancing options before it is too late.

A Storyteller Takes the Stage
Garry Moore '80 MLS '09, longtime news anchor at WEEK-TV, makes his directorial debut at Bradley with "A Raisin in the Sun."
By Crystal Vining '13
February 28, 2013
The Department of Theatre Arts will once again showcase its student talent this week with performances of "A Raisin in the Sun," a 1959 Broadway drama about a struggling African-American family trying to make ends meet in the racially segregated Woodlawn neighborhood of south Chicago.
And directing the acclaimed drama is a Bradley alumnus who's no stranger to the limelight. Garry Moore '80 MLS '09, longtime news anchor at WEEK-TV, is making his directorial debut at his alma mater and preparing the cast for their upcoming performances.
Moore admitted he was anxious to direct but has always held an interest in theatre. He graduated from Bradley with a degree in broadcast production and management and has found himself in front of an audience ever since.
In addition to his work on WEEK, Moore has performed as a storyteller, often reading and singing songs, fables and plays based on the experiences and cultural traditions of Africa-Americans.
Moore said his time at Bradley gave him the tools to succeed and he wanted to return the favor for the cast of "A Raisin in the Sun." His experience directing the American classic, Moore said, is one he will never forget.
"It was a pleasure to be able to work with such talented students," he noted. "The theatre department runs like a professional company and these students could not have been more prepared. It was truly a joy to work with them."
Lorraine Hansberry's Pulitzer Prize-winning play begins with three generations of one family, the Youngers, living in a small, ramshackle apartment on Chicago's South Side. After the death of the family's patriarch leaves the Youngers with a $10,000 life insurance check, each character sees the hefty sum as a means to finally achieve their dreams—a down payment on a new house, tuition money for medical school or a business venture that will lift the family out of poverty.
Cecil Blutcher, a senior political science major, plays the part of Walter Younger, the son who dreams of becoming rich after investing his father's insurance money in a liquor store. Walter's sheer determination to get his wife, Ruth, played by junior theatre major Morgan Green, and his son Travis, played by Rashiek McBride, out of poverty is his American dream but comes with consequences.
Blutcher said he embraced his role and transformed it to make it his own.
"The words will take me where I want to be," Blutcher explained. "I want the audience to experience the scene as if they were there. They should not know they are in a theatre."
Performances run from February 28 to March 10 in the Hartmann Center for the Performing Arts. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8 p.m. and Sunday performances will begin at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for Bradley faculty and staff as well as seniors and $7 for students. For tickets or more information call the Hartmann Centre box office at (309) 677-2650.

Puschka, it has to be said, is a rather unusual name for a bistro on Rodney St, Liverpool, serving locally-sourced British food. We asked the owner about it, and apparently it was a pet name for a friend of theirs who helped them decorate - "We saw all the other restaurants in the area called things like 60 Hope Street and wanted to stand out". I suppose I can sympathise, but I still think "16 Rodney Street" would have spoken more eloquently of the style of food and vibe of the place, and not had people (like me) thinking I might find a menu of dumplings and vodka. But hey, the decision has been made and Puschka it is.
It's an interesting menu, thanks to the attractive-sounding dishes and ingredients (potted shrimp, soured mackerel, hake) but there are some quite punchy prices attached to them. I realise £7.50 for a goat's cheese starter or £17.50 for a trout main course isn't a fortune in the grand scheme of things, but for a
But, quibbles aside, when the starters did finally arrive they were very good indeed. My shrimp and crab arrangement was served with a freshly-baked loaf of rather collapsy but tasty bread (soda perhaps) and was very enjoyable - I particularly liked the fact the shrimp came from Southport instead of the more usual and further afield Morecambe Bay, although I can't really say they tasted any different. Chicken livers were huge and plentiful, soft and tasty and properly seasoned, the addition of some medjool dates working surprisingly well. Most impressive of all was a daily special of pigeon breast, served confidently rare and with a lovely gamey flavour. In the starters at least, Puschka's much-advertised sourcing (they proudly list all their suppliers in a special box on the menu titled "Provenance") seems to have been worth the effort.
What a shame, then, that the main courses didn't reach the same level of quality. Best was the trout, which was a gut-bustingly generous portion, cooked to just slightly under in the middle and sitting on top of a huge salad containing lovely fresh crab. My duck, though, was verging on room temperature, underseasoned and lacking in flavour despite, again, there being a hell of a lot of it. And finally, a daily special of tuna, ordered specifically because it was supposed to come with samphire, arrived without any samphire at all. When we pointed this out to our otherwise charming waitress, she shrugged "I don't know what the chef's playing at today". Well, it's kind of your job to know, actually. That's what we're paying you for.
Desserts looked good; in fact, looking back, I'm not quite sure how any of us managed to resist the lure of the Sticky Toffee Pudding, but in the end we were full and reasonably content and so we paid the bill - £33 each or so with a bottle of excellent house white - and headed home. And although not perfect, Puschka still has enough to recommend it as a place to eat your dinner, although perhaps only if 60 Hope Street (just around the corner, very similar in price and quite a bit better) is full and you're not in a hurry to get anywhere afterwards. Judging by the boisterous, capacity crowd on Saturday night, there are more than enough people in Liverpool happy to make an evening of it.
Sorry for the bloody awful photos but it was very dark in there

WILSON. N.C. – The Coker softball team split a non conference doubleheader against Barton College on Sunday (Mar. 9). The Cobras now sit at 9-8 on the year.
The Bulldogs took an early lead in game one after scoring one run in the first, and then extended their lead after scoring five more runs in the fifth. Coker would tack on one run in the top of the seventh, but eventually Barton would preserve the 6-1 win.
Tayler Barcomb led the Navy and Yellow at the plate in game one, going 2-for-3 at with a double and one run scored. Sydney Weatherford, Ashley Gallman, and Carley Bailey all went 1-for-3, with Bailey knocking in the Cobras' only RBI.
Jessica Koumas (1-2) would be marked with the loss after 4.2 innings on the mound and giving up six runs on 13 hits.
Game number two was scoreless through five innings, until Coker pushed two runs across the plate in the top of the sixth. The Cobras would then go on to shut out the home team, and capture the 2-0 win.
Megan Strickland went 2-for-3 at the plate for Coker in game number two, with one run scored. Sydney Weatherford and Ashlee Ellen both went 1-for-1, each with an RBI, while Katelyn Szupello went 1-for-2 with one run scored.
Logan Cox (1-0) got the win on the bump for Coker, after seven innings of work. Cox struck out three Bulldogs while giving up just seven hits.
Coker will return home to host Johnson C. Smith on Tuesday (Mar. 11) in a nonconference doubleheader. Game number one will start at 2:00 p.m., followed by game number two at 4:00 p.m.

We will continue with the Brauer group after this post, but today let's answer the question: Why should we care about the Brauer group? We gave one good reason back when talking about rational surfaces. It provided something that might be computable to detect whether or not our variety had good reduction.
Today let's consider what is probably the most well-known use of the Brauer group. Suppose we have a (smooth, proper) variety over a number field. We want to know whether or not there are any -rational points. Of course, classically if you hand me this variety using an equation, then the problem reduces to a Diophantine equation. So this problem is very old (3rd century … and one could argue we still don't have a great handle on it).
Suppose is a rational point. Then we can use the embedding into various completions of to get points over all the local fields. This isn't saying much. It says that if we have a global point, then we have points locally everywhere. The interesting question is whether having points locally everywhere "glue" to give a global point. When a class of varieties always allows you to do this, then we say the varieties satisfy the Hasse principle.
This brings us to the content of today's post. We will construct the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle. We've already considered the following pairing in a previous post. For any prime , we get a pairing which is just given by pullback on étale cohomology using the map defining the point followed by the canonical identification . We could write or more typically .
We can package this into something global as follows. By restriction we have which we will write . Now we just sum to get , so our global pairing is .
Recall that we have an exact sequence from the post on Brauer groups of fields by summing the local invariants. If our local points glue to give a global point , then the pairing factors through this sequence and hence for any choice of .
This is our obstruction. The above argument says that if , then cannot possibly glue to give a rational point. We will give this set a name:
We will call this the Brauer set of (earlier we called it being "Brauer equivalent to " since we saw this type of condition was an equivalence relation on Chow groups). It is now immediate that . We should think of this as the collection of local points that have some chance of coming from a global point. Now we have two obstructions to the existence of rational points. The first is that which is just the trivial condition that there are local points everywhere. The second is the Brauer-Manin obstruction which says that .
If the local points condition is necessary and sufficient for the existence of rational points, then of course that is exactly the Hasse principle, so we say the Hasse principle holds. If the Brauer-Manin condition (plus the local condition) is necessary and sufficient, then we say that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of rational points. It would be fantastic if we could somehow figure out which varieties had this property.
Caution: It is not an open problem to determine whether or not the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction. There are known examples where there is no B-M obstruction and yet there are still no rational points. As far as I can tell, it is conjectured, but still open that if the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Jacobian of a curve is finite, then the B-M obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of rational points on curves over number fields. So even in such a special low-dimensional situation this is a very hard question.

Children in the US - like adults - are increasingly trying electronic cigarettes, according to the first large study.
Health officials say the study suggests many kids are now getting a first taste of nicotine through e-cigarettes and moving on to regular tobacco products.
The devices began to appear in the United States in late 2006, but marketing has exploded in the last couple of years.
About two per cent of students said they'd used an e-cigarette in the previous month, according to the survey done last year. That was up from one per cent in 2011.
More kids still smoke traditional cigarettes than the new electronic ones, and it's not clear how dangerous e-cigarettes are. It's also not clear from the report how many children are using them on a daily or weekly basis.
Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that provide users with aerosol puffs that typically contain nicotine, and sometimes flavourings like fruit, mint or chocolate. They've often been described as a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes.
Unlike regular cigarettes, the federal government does not regulate e-cigarettes, although about 20 states have banned store sales to minors.
The new study - released on Thursday by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention - is based on a questionnaire filled out by nearly 19,000 students in 2011 and another 25,000 in 2012.
In 2011, about three per cent said they'd tried an e-cigarette at least once. That rose to seven per cent last year and translates to nearly 1.8 million students.
In contrast, six per cent of adults have tried e-cigarettes, according to a different CDC survey done in 2011.
Children still are more likely to light up regular cigarettes, though teen smoking rates have dropped in the past decade. More teens now smoke marijuana than tobacco, surveys have found.
