http://www.facebook.com/denver.booneIs a cartoon-like college mascot reminiscent
of Daniel Boone -- right down to the legendary coonskin cap --
racist, sexist or otherwise offensive?Officials at the University of Denver
seem to think so. Theyve announced they wont reinstate Denver Boone, who
was retired in 1998 as mascot for the UD Pioneers, despite calls
to bring him back.Boone originally had been replaced by a red-tailed hawk
named Ruckus but the bird never soared high with the student body
and was scrapped in 2007, leaving the school without a mascot. Fast
forward and the school decided to put together a committee last spring
to determine the new mascot, but Boone was not even considered.Boone was
a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the
UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of
color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate
to as defining the pioneering spirit, Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a
March letter to the school community.University officials also claim that
Boone was not up for consideration because of a consensus by the
student body that it wanted an entirely new mascot despite numerous
Facebook postings to the contrary.It was really about moving forward, Theresa
Mueller, a spokeswoman for the University of Denver, told FoxNews.com. The
students wanted a new mascot and didnt want to look towards the

Ding said. "This case has taught us so much about the dynamics
and mechanisms in most Chinese corruption cases."Testimony also revealed
how one of the foreigners, Neil Heywood, demanded more money by threatening
the safety of Bo's son and to expose the family. Gu later
killed him and received a suspended death sentence for the murder.The court
also heard evidence over the weekend about the events surrounding the attempted
U.S. defection bid by Wang, the police chief, in February 2012, an
incident that blew the scandal into the open. Wang said he fled
to an American consulate fearing for his safety after he told Bo
that the politician's wife had murdered a British associate.Bo told the
court that he reacted angrily to Wang's report, slapping him in the
face and smashing a cup in fury because he initially thought Wang
was framing his wife for the crime. "I thought he was being
duplicitous. I have zero tolerance for duplicity," Bo said. "I slapped him
in the face."Wang, who testified Saturday, said the violent confrontation
with Bo, his subsequent removal as police chief and the disappearance of
his subordinates who were investigating the murder spurred him to flee to
American officials for safety. He said Bo did not slap him as
