You Won't Believe UT's Daily Texan Trayvon Martin Cartoon (UPDATED)
"Colored boy"?
It's no surprise that the Web sites for the University of Texas's Daily Texan and their cartoonist Stephanie Eisner are overloaded at the moment.
That's because an astonishing Eisner cartoon on the Trayvon Martin case is whipping `round the Web. Gawker, among others, has highlighted it.
Thanks to them, we're able to see the image, which has since been taken off the Texan site.
And, well...words fail. Way to go, Longhorns.
A mom is reading her child the endearing book Trayvon Martin and the Case of Yellow Journalism.
The book apparently includes this passage, and you can see the odd graphics highlighting choice words: "And then, the Big Bad White white man killed the handsome, sweet, innocent colored boy."
Oh my.
An explanation no doubt soon to come from the Texan, as soon as they stop being overwhelmed.
Update:The cartoon is back up with only this explanation: "Editor's note: This comic was temporarily taken down at 2:20 a.m. to alleviate web traffic and prevent the web site from crashing. It was republished at 4:50 p.m.."
Update II: The explanation from the Daily Longhorn editorial board:
A controversial editorial cartoon on the Trayvon Martin shooting was published Tuesday on the Opinion page of The Daily Texan. The Daily Texan Editorial Board recognizes the sensitive nature of the cartoon's subject matter.
The views expressed in the cartoon are not those of the editorial board. They are those of the artist. It is the policy of the editorial board to publish the views of our columnists and cartoonists, even if we disagree with them.
Update III: Eisner no longer works at the paper, and she has apologized.

Comments about 'New proceedings begin for man whose murder conviction was tossed'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Isn't there some vague law that a person cannot be prosecuted and convicted
twice for the same crime?
When did double jeopardy protections and laws get revoked and edited from the constitution? There is no such thing when prosecutors can whine with and OOPs and sorry and why double jeopardy is not allowed by the constitution. Prosecutors get one chance, one trial and one conviction to get it right regardless of any threat to society a person may be. Of course the original prosecutor is fired on the spot.
The man was wrongfully convicted and the judge released him and that is the end of the prosecutions powers. If the government erred then it falls on the prosecutor to be punished and put in jail for his actions. The prosecutor has no right to retry an overturned wrongful conviction and it is the duty of the jury to turn this man loose and recommend prison for the prosecutors trying to defy our constitutional laws that not even a judge can overturn.

Recent developments are likely to result in three changes that might form the basis of Basel 4:
These moves towards Basel 4 have three major implications. First, banks are likely to face significantly higher capital requirements. Second, banks will likely need to improve their capital management. Third, a less risk-sensitive approach to both capital ratios and internal modelling is likely to force banks to re-evaluate the balance between lower and higher risk businesses.
Basel 3 is but one element of the multiplicity of regulatory reforms under way – the 'more and more of everything' approach to regulation. Banks need to consider the combined impact of all these initiatives, in addition to the impact of Basel 3 and of moves towards Basel 4, on their strategies and business models.

Massoud Hossaini, Associated Press
ABI BARIK, Afghanistan — Three days after the earth swept through his village, burying entire houses and hundreds of people, Hashmat Khan is still digging in search of his family.
Standing in a hole he'd dug out that reached over his head, Khan said six members of his family were buried in the horrific landslide that swept over the village of Abi Barik in Badakhshan province.
"We have rescued two injured and taken out two dead bodies, and now we're trying to find two more," he said.
The landslide Friday killed hundreds of people — still no one has an exact number — and destroyed 300 homes and displaced hundreds more families.
Stranded and with no homes, many of the families have struggled to get aid. Some have gone to nearby villages to stay with relatives or friends, while others have slept in tents provided by aid groups. The unlucky ones have slept outside.
One of the school teachers, Abdul Fatah Zafari, said the villagers have surveyed all the families and believe that around 50 students between ages of six to 15 died in the landslide.
The school building survived. But with what's left of Abi Barik under threat of further landslides and flooding, the surviving children haven't been able to attend school.
Zafari said he understood that helping needy people was the immediate priority but appealed to the government to also think about the school and health clinic.
The landslide was likely triggered by heavy rains that have fallen across northern Afghanistan in recent weeks. It broke off such a massive chunk of earth, burying hundreds of homes, that officials have said it will be impossible to bring up all the bodies. Still, many villagers have continued digging on their own.
Azizullah, who goes by one name as do many Afghans, said he was working on a construction site when he heard about the landslide and hurried home. His house was covered with mud but eventually he was able to find his wife and children alive. But his father and one of his brothers are still missing.
"Probably they have died, but still we are looking for them," he said. "Over the past three days we have been digging in the area where we think they might be to find their bodies, but we couldn't find any of them."

MANKATO, Minn. -- Our second day of training camp with the Minnesota Vikings is complete. The team will take Sunday off and then likely make the move to full pads Monday.
Many of you continue to ask about the progress of for the Vikings' passing game. I'll start off Saturday's observations with this rough transcript of a sequence witnessed during team drills at Minnesota State, Mankato:
Christian Ponder throws an interception, middle linebacker Erin Henderson snaring a pass intended for tight end Kyle Rudolph.
A fan in the stands yells, "Bring in [backup] Matt Cassel!"
Cassel misses a receiver badly.
Same fan: "Ponder!"
Ponder overthrows receiver Greg Jennings by several yards.
Same fan: "Cassel! Ponder! Someone else!"
Yes, that's the kind of practice it was. Ponder continued to mix competency with some poor throws that you hate to see any starter make in a non-contact setting. We've discussed the need for Ponder to even out his performances, and for whatever it's worth, he hasn't done that in the first two outings of training camp.
A few other thoughts before we point the NFC North blogmobile north:
For those setting their fantasy teams, the Vikings' three-receiver set has pretty consistently been Jennings and Jerome Simpson on the outside with Jarius Wright in the slot. The thought is that Simpson will eventually be challenged by rookie Cordarrelle Patterson, but it's too early in camp to assess how long that process will take.
Two attributes that show up in non-contact drills are speed and quickness, and it hasn't taken long to see that undrafted free agent Bradley Randle has both of them. Randle is a 5-foot-7 scatback from UNLV who might have some potential as a returner. All you have to do is watch him in a few pass drills to know that he can run.
Another speed-based player who stood out over the first two days is defensive lineman Everson Griffen. I'll have more on him Sunday, but let's just say the Vikings are expecting the world from him this season.
One thing is clear about Joe Webb's attempted transition to receiver: The guy can catch. The Vikings are giving him plenty of repetitions, and I haven't seen him miss a pass yet. There are plenty of other skills required to play receiver, but the ability to catch is obviously the most important.

High school football: Bingham's No. 1 nationally ranked TE Dalton Schultz commits to Stanford
Ben Brewer, Deseret News
SOUTH JORDAN – The No. 1-rated tight end in the nation had a forest of scholarships offers to choose. On Thursday, he found the tree he wanted to build his career with.
Bingham's Dalton Schultz, listed at 6-foot-6 and 235-pounds, announced his commitment to Stanford via Twitter, and the Deseret News confirmed his decision with Bingham coach Dave Peck.
"I think Dalton has as much upside as any kid that I've ever coached," Peck said. "I know that Stanford in particular feels like Dalton has a chance to come in and play right off. They love not only how he catches the ball, but I think the thing they love the most is how he is as a blocker. He punishes people."
Schultz was named the Region 3 Offensive MVP after helping the Miners capture the 5A state championship with an undefeated 14-0 record. He finished the 2013 season with 32 receptions for 499 yards and eight touchdowns.
"I think he fits perfect (at Stanford). I would say there's not another school in the nation right now that uses their tight ends as much as Stanford does," Peck said. "They're a top 5, nationally ranked program and I think it's a perfect system for Dalton."
He eventually narrowed his offers, which included Arizona State, BYU, Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin down to three schools: Stanford, Utah and Notre Dame. Earlier this week he eliminated the Irish from consideration and was expected to make an official visit with Utah this upcoming weekend.
"Utah was the first one to offer him and he was a Utah fan growing up, so I know that was a tough decision," Peck said. "Does he stay in-state where everybody can follow his career and watch his games or does he take one of these other schools that are high-profile, nationally-ranked teams that have great national recognition?
"You look at it at the end, if you're a graduate from Stanford, shoot I think you're pretty well connected for life."

Angelina Jolie finances girls' school in Afghanistan
This school and subsequent schools will be funded by a line of the film star's own signature jewelry on sale in the US.
- Jill Serjeant
- Afghanistan
- April 2, 2013
Angelina Jolie has opened another girls school in Afghanistan and plans to fund more from the proceeds of a jewelry line going on sale this week that she helped to design, celebrity website E! News reported on Monday.
Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, funded the girls-only primary school in an area outside Kabul that has a high refugee population, E! News said in an exclusive report.
The school educates 200-300 girls, E! said. It showed pictures of the school, which opened in November, and a plaque acknowledging Jolie's contribution. Jolie also funded a girls' school in eastern Afghanistan that opened in 2010, according to the UNCHR.
Jolie's representatives did not return calls for comment.
E! said that Jolie plans to pay for more schools by selling a "Style of Jolie" jewelry line that she helped create with jewelry maker Robert Procop. Procop designed the engagement ring given to the actress by her partner Brad Pitt in April 2012.
"Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need," Jolie was quoted as telling the website.
Procop's website said the "first funds from our collaboration together have been dedicated to the Education Partnership for Children in Conflict (founded by Jolie) to build a school in Afghanistan."
According to the Style of Jolie website, the newly expanded collection includes versions of the black and gold necklace that the actress wore to the premiere of her 2010 movie "Salt," a pear-shaped citrine and gold necklace, and rose gold and emerald tablet-shaped rings, earrings and bracelets. No price details were released.
The jewelry will go on retail sale for the first time on April 4 through Kansas City jewelry store Tivol.
Procop told E! that it was "an honor to have the opportunity to be part of creating this line with Angie, as we both believe every child has right to an education."
Jolie is not the first celebrity to open schools in faraway places. Both Oprah Winfrey and Madonna have funded the building of schools in South Africa and Malawi in the past six years, although both ran into trouble.
Madonna's project provoked controversy over costs and mismanagement, while a staff member at Winfrey's school was arrested on charges of assault and abuse of students.

Rangers Place OF Adduci On DL, Recall INF Sardinas
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have put outfielder Jim Adduci on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left little finger.
Texas made the move before Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox, when infielder Luis Sardinas was recalled from Double-A Frisco.
Adduci was injured when he slid headfirst into second base Friday night. He stayed in the game and added two hits after that in his first start of the season.
The earliest Adduci could return to the active roster is May 4. He is hitting .462 (6 of 13) in his nine games this season.
Sardinas, who is looking to make his major league debut, is 20 years old. He would be the youngest player to appear in the majors this season.

Did A.W. Pink Agree with 1689 Federalism?
A.W. Pink's covenant theology came up recently in a Facebook discussion. It was being questioned if Pink held to 1689 Federalism or "20th Century Reformed Baptist Covenant Theology". (Federalism is just an old word for covenant theology)
First, here is a summary of 1689 Federalism:
By rejecting the notion of a Covenant of Grace under two administrations, the Baptists were in fact rejecting only half of this concept: they accepted, as we have previously seen, the notion of one single Covenant of Grace in both testaments, but they refused the idea of two administrations. For the Baptists, there was only one Covenant of Grace which was revealed from the Fall in a progressive way until its full revelation and conclusion in the New Covenant… If the Westminster federalism can be summarized in "one covenant under two administrations," that of the 1689 would be "one covenant revealed progressively and concluded formally under the New Covenant.

Example 2 Of how the scope or design of the passage matters in interpretation
Another passage where inattention to its scope has resulted in false doctrine being drawn from it is 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. Appeal is frequently made to it in support of the dangerous delusion that there is a class of real Christians who have forfeited all "reward" for the future, having no good works to their credit; yet will enter heaven. Such a concept is grossly insulting to the Holy Spirit, for it implies that He performs a miracle of grace in the soul, indwells that person, yet that he brings forth no spiritual fruit. Such a grotesque idea is utterly contrary to the Analogy of Faith, for Ephesians 2:10, tells us that those whom God saves by grace through faith are "His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." Those who walk not in good works are unsaved, for "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20). Scripture declares, "Verily there is a reward for the righteous" (Psalm 58:11), that "every [regenerated] man shall have praise of God" (1 Corinthians 4:5), which certainly could not be the case if some of them are but cumberers of the ground.
Not only is this erroneous interpretation highly dishonoring to God and at direct variance with the plain teaching of other scriptures, but it is refuted by the context. In order to understand 1 Corinthians 3:11-15, verses 1- 10—-must be heeded—so as to determine the subject which the apostle is treating. At the beginning of chapter 3 Paul returns to the charge he had made against the Corinthians in 1:11, where he reproved them for pitting one servant of God against another, with the resultant divisions—-the principal occasion of his writing to them. In 3:3, he points out that such conduct evinced their carnality. He reminds them that both himself and Apollos were "but ministers" (v. 5). He had merely planted and Apollos watered—-it was God who gave the increase. Since neither of them was "any thing" unless God deigned to bless his labors (v. 7), what madness it was to make an idol of a mere instrument! Thus it is clear, beyond any doubt, that the opening verses of 1 Corinthians 3 treat of the official ministry of God's servants. It is plainer still in the Greek, for the word "man" occurs nowhere in the passage, "every man" being literally "every one," i.e., of the particular class referred to.
The same subject is continued in verse 8, though there be diversity in the work of God's servants (one evangelistic, another indoctrinating), yet their commission is from the same Master and their mutual aim the good of souls; therefore it is sinful folly to array one against or exalt him above another. Though Christ has distributed different gifts to His servants and allotted them a variety of ministry, "each shall receive his own reward." The building itself is God's, ministers being the workmen (v. 9). In verse 10 Paul refers to the ministerial "foundation" he had laid (see Ephesians 2:20), and what follows concerns the materials used by builders who came after him. If those materials (their preaching) honored Christ and edified saints, they would endure and be rewarded. But if instead the preacher used for his themes the increase in crime, the menace of the bomb, the latest doings of the Jews, etc., such worthless rubbish would be burned up in the Day to come and be unrewarded. Thus it is the materials used by preachers in their public ministrations, and not the walk of private Christians, which is here in view.

What is a Reformed Baptist Church?
Substance of a Sermon preached
by Pastor Wm. Payne
Burlington, Ontario, Canada
If I were to be asked, "What kind of a church are you?" I would not hesitate to reply, "We are a Baptist church." We hold to those truths which have sometimes been referred to as "Baptist Distinctives."
I would also reply that we are a "Reformed Church" inasmuch as we hold to the great doctrines of the Reformation in the areas concerning the salvation of men. In this sense, I am not at all averse to our church being referred to as a "Reformed Baptist Church," and I want to speak on the subject "What is a Reformed Baptist Church?"

Debra gave an excellent rating to Natchez Burning by Greg Iles. She writes the book is "hugely disturbing but an absolute must read. This story engages you in a heartfelt saga of the very horrific times during the 1960s in the deepest South. Graphic and highly charged, it is a chilling and complex story."
Ann recommends The Private Patient by P.D. James, a prolific writer who passed away in 2014. The Private Patient was the last book in James' popular series starring detective Adam Dalgliesh. Of the novel Ann writes, "it is complicated enough that I had to keep a list of suspects handy, but not as complicated as a spy or conspiracy novel where you have to follow the twists of the plot so closely. Beautifully written in the British style but set in the present. Satisfying for the detective-story lover."

Jim gave No Ordinary Disruption by Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel an excellent rating. He writes, "the book discusses the major trends which are causing the economic changes happening in the world at such a fast pace. Lots of examples reinforce the trends and factors described."
The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami was enjoyed by Silvia. She writes, "This historical fiction provides a viewpoint of an unwilling passenger. It's tale of unfulfilled aspirations and physical and psychological survival."

A great trick that packs light and plays big. You show the audience three differently colored ropes, which are then each tied end to end to form three rings of three different colors. When tossed into the air the three rings have changed into one large, multicolored ring. Also a great way to teach the value of team work (when the parents, teachers, and students all work together).

OPINION: MY MATE Dave is a bit of a rugby nut. A V8 Commodore driving lad from Taranaki, he can give you chapter and verse on each of the five times the 'Naki has won the Log o' Wood, as well as some near- misses over the last century.
Now Wellington-based, he coaches his son's footy team, and catches as many big games as he can. While rugby union is his game of choice, he was happy to join the thousands of outrageously clad spectators who last weekend made Wellington party central for the staging of the rugby sevens.
Dave's not big on dressing up, but his kids love it. So they went online in search of some outfits. His canny 10-year-old daughter found a great Greek Goddess get- up on an online auction site and he hit "Buy Now" for her. The outfit arrived by courier the next day - pretty stunning service given the seller was based in Australia and shipping was free. NZ Post finds it hard enough to do overnight across town, but this Aussie crowd managed Sydney to Wellington overnight for nix.
Free shipping and expedited delivery were two of the mega trends in e-commerce last year and they're now starting to hit our shores. For traditional retailers trying to trade profitably in a world where competition has moved from the local to the global, it's yet another challenge.
Global giant eBay was one of the early movers with its eBay Now service in 2012. This allows buyers to purchase items from local stores and have them hand- delivered in an hour for just US$5.
Amazon spent around US$1 billion last year putting in place warehouses that can provide same-day delivery to a selection of major cities in the US and Europe. They also offer free domestic shipping for items over US$35 and attracted media hysteria for their purported experiments around delivering items via remote control drone.
A recent e-commerce survey by investment house Forsyth Barr found huge variation across New Zealand retailers when it came to web store delivery services. Way out in front was Hallenstein/ Glasson who not only provide free shipping to local buyers for all three of their ranges (Hallensteins, Glassons and Storm), but free delivery to Australia.
Briscoes web stores (including Rebel Sport and Living and Giving) came in second, charging just $5 for local shipping. Those who came lower in the ranking included Kathmandu, The Warehouse, Michael Hill and Pumpkin Patch. A surprising number didn't offer overseas shipping at all according to the survey: perhaps they are allergic to overseas dollars.
At the same time shipping is becoming quicker and cheaper, non-shipping is also on the rise with "click and collect". This is where you buy an item from a shop's website but then collect it yourself. According to new data from Capgemini almost 19 per cent of online sales are now click and collect (up from 13 per cent the year before).
The drivers here are convenience and time - busy metropolitan buyers have time to indulge in couch commerce in the evening but are time-poor during the day. But they are happy to grab the item from downtown premises.
As with free shipping, local companies are starting to catch on. Kircaldie & Stains Online has led the charge domestically. As well as offering free delivery on all online purchases, Kirks offers click and collect from its Lambton Quay store. Dick Smith and Countdown have followed suit.
Meanwhile The Warehouse/ Noel Leeming is expanding its click and collect service so customers can collect not just "red shed" products but also Torpedo7, Ilovebeauty, and No 1 Fitness items.
There's a sweet irony here, as well as an opportunity for the bricks and mortar stores trying to compete. It's actually easier for a physical retailer to set up an online facsimile, than it is for a pure online company to set up a physical presence, whether it be a single store or a chain.
In the US and Europe this had led to Amazon installing thousands of Amazon Lockers to allow people to pick up items locally - often located within existing grocery and convenience stores.
So rather than the web rendering traditional retailers obsolete, this new development sees the web delivering new foot traffic.
Looking around New Zealand at the moment there are a range of companies with extensive physical presences that might look to such an opportunity. NZ Post is the most obvious one, but consider also the likes of RD1, Farmlands, Countdown and Repco.
It might well be that in a year's time my mate Dave picks up his online-bought costume at the same time he's picking up a 4-litre pack of oil for his Holden.
