"Use the top of your knife," Boston chef Tiffani Faison gently coached over the video conference screen as the four-term congressman struggled to remove the bird's backbone, one of the first steps in preparing Faison's soy- and cola-infused poached chicken.
This is political campaigning in the age of coronavirus — an exercise that requires novel approaches from candidates who are sidelined by the pandemic from face-to-face retail politics and traditional fundraising. They're confronting the challenge of breaking through the hourly doses of grim news from the outbreak's front lines.
"While many folks have done parts of this before, nobody has ever had to run an entirely online campaign before," said Amanda Litman, executive director for Run for Something, which helps progressive under-40 candidates. "We're all figuring it out together."
The approaches vary. For instance, Wendy Stolyarov, a Democrat running for city council in Sparks, Nevada, created mutual aid postcards emblazoned with her campaign logo that encourage supporters to volunteer to shop and run errands for their elderly neighbors. Earlier this month, New York state Senate candidate Jeremy Cooney held a virtual happy hour fundraiser with local bartenders to help drive donations to suddenly unemployed bar and restaurant workers in Rochester, New York.
And in Kansas, Republican US Senate candidate Kris Kobach used a tele-town hall on Monday night to remind voters of this week's fast-approaching end-of-the-month deadline for political donations and to tout an upcoming installment of his "Constitution 101" classes via Facebook Live.
Next up in the series, according to the campaign's Facebook page: "an educational dive into the Establishment Clause and the 2nd Amendment!"
The outbreak has forced campaigns to adapt to work from home and find potential supporters at theirs.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm for House Democrats, has urged its candidates to conduct tele-town halls, virtual phone banks and host Facebook Live events.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has advised candidates not to fundraise directly off of the pandemic, consider pulling teams from the field to instead make phone calls, share coronavirus information only from sources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and to be aware of how communications are perceived during a crisis.
"At times like this you need to ask yourself if your press release or snarky comment are in poor taste," Rep. Tom Emmer, the NRCC chair, said in a memo to candidates and campaign managers in March.
Presidential campaigns
The most visible impact has been on the presidential race.
President Donald Trump has suspended his rallies of thousands of supporters. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, makes media appearances from a home studio in Wilmington, Delaware. (This week, Biden released the first episode of his campaign podcast, "Here's the Deal." The 21-minute episode featured a conversation with Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff who served as Ebola czar in the Obama administration.)
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who remains in the Democratic presidential race, hosted a livestream Monday night on the pandemic.
Both national parties say they are prepared for weeks of virtual campaigning.
With door-knocking and other face-to-face contact now off limits, the Democratic National Committee is hosting "Digital Organizing 101" training sessions. More than 4,800 people have signed up, and the party already has trained more than 1,750 people in recent weeks, DNC officials say.
The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee say they have an advantage over Democrats because they invested in data and tech infrastructure throughout Trump's presidency.
During a recent "national day of action," Trump supporters made nearly 1.5 million calls from their homes to encourage people to back Trump's re-election and to visit the government's website on the pandemic, Coronavirus.gov, "to learn about what they can do to flatten the curve," Trump campaign spokeswoman Ali Pardo said.
Kennedy, 39, is all over social media.
His so-called "evening broadcast" is streamed on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube at 8 p.m. Monday and Thursday nights. His campaign has added weekly Q&As via Facebook Live on Wednesday nights.
As in the live-streamed cooking lesson with Faison, who was a finalist on the Bravo reality show "Top Chef," Kennedy's family — wife Lauren and their children, four-year-old Eleanor and two-year-old James — feature prominently in videos. (A recent one included a pajama-clad Eleanor belting out "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from the 2013 Disney animated movie, "Frozen.")
"When I got into this race, I made a commitment to show up every single day for the people of Massachusetts," Kennedy said in a statement to CNN this week. "In the face of Covid-19, that means deploying every tool in our digital arsenal to ensure we remain as accessible as possible during this time of physical distance."
Kennedy is staging a primary challenge against Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, whose campaign's recent digital offering included a bit more traditional approach: a sober Markey interview with Dr. Peter Slavin, the president of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, about coronavirus and the shortage of medical supplies.
Run for Something has created a new website, ResourcesforCampaigns.com, to help the candidates it supports prepare for the new world of virtual campaigning and share ideas.
"We're seeing fundraising dry up," Litman said. "That's true at every level, from the city council and school board, all the way up to presidential. That's going to be even more so as the economy continues to collapse."
Fundraising is so difficult that Cooney, the state Senate candidate in Rochester, isn't even trying. "There's so much need in our community with limited resources, that it doesn't feel right to ask for political" donations, he said.
Instead, Cooney recently staged a "digital happy hour." About 620 people joined in via Facebook Live as local bartenders made their favorite cocktails from home. In all, the event raised about $5,000 for an emergency fund for out-of-work food and beverage workers.
"This is a group of people who are a little bit forgotten, and we had a chance to raise their profile," Cooney said.
In Nevada, the outbreak upended the campaign plans of Stolyarov, who is running for a city council seat in Sparks.
"I was expecting to knock on 10,000 doors this Spring," she said. "We had to entirely re-engineer the campaign strategy because of this pandemic." (She picked up the idea for her "Hello Neighbor" mutual aid mailers from another Westerner seeking office, Portland, Oregon, mayoral candidate Sarah Iannarone.)
Rather than door-knocking, Stolyarov, who owns her own communications firm, these days is helping to deliver meals to senior citizens and working to round up additional volunteers to call voters. Even the phone-banking script has changed.
"We're no longer calling and saying, 'Hey, vote for Wendy!' " Stolyarov said. "We're now calling and saying, 'Are you OK? Is there anything you need help with?' "

The Struggle for Technology Sovereignty in Europe
Hermann Hauser,
AUCKLAND – Back when states regularly used armed forces to compel others into compliance or dependence, sovereignty was primarily a geographic and military concept. But the term has more recently taken on an added dimension.
The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, revealed the West's dependence on China for supplies of face masks and personal protective equipment.
And former US President Donald Trump weaponized American technology and payment systems in an effort to advance US interests. Technology sovereignty – or the lack of it – is fast becoming a central strategic issue, not least for Europe.
Imagine, for example, that Vice Admiral Eugene H. Black III, the commander of the US Sixth Fleet, suddenly requested something unpalatable of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, noting that his fleet was stationed in the English Channel.
The government and most people in the United Kingdom would regard this as a very strange manifestation of the bilateral "special relationship," and object strenuously.
Yet, there was no public outcry last year when Mike Pompeo, Trump's secretary of state, leaned heavily on Johnson to exclude Chinese technology firm Huawei from the UK's 5G network, implying that the United States otherwise would stop sharing intelligence with the UK.
Pompeo also referred to the fact that the US controls the City of London's payment infrastructure, and that all electronic chips used in the UK require US electronic design tool software.
The public silence in response to Pompeo's tactics came despite a thorough analysis by GCHQ, the UK's high-tech intelligence and security agency, which had concluded that Huawei products were safe to use in non-critical parts of the country's 5G infrastructure.
Pompeo's coercion was no less blatant than that in the hypothetical example above, but technological might is less visible to the public than a US aircraft carrier in the Thames Estuary.
The UK long-overlooked its technological dependence on other countries, because it believed that supply chains were secure and regarded America as a reliable ally. Both of these assumptions are now in question.
From now on, every country or group of countries must ask itself three questions. First, do we produce the technologies we need?
If not, do we have access to them from a number of sources? And if still not, do we have guaranteed, unfettered, long-term (more than five years) access to them from monopoly or oligopoly suppliers from a single country, typically the US or China?
A country that answers no to all three questions is vulnerable to technological coercion that is no less severe than the military coercion of yesteryear.
Does the UK have all the critical technologies it needs for its economy and government to function properly? To take just 5G, payment systems, and semiconductors as examples, the answer is clearly no.
Nor is it likely that the UK, acting alone, can secure guaranteed, unfettered, long-term access to these technologies, given that the outcome of international trade negotiations is determined by the relative heft of the participants.
The UK accounts for about 1% of the world's population and 2% of global GDP (in purchasing-power-parity terms) and has almost no globally dominant technologies.
Despite Brexit, therefore, the UK's only rational option for achieving technology sovereignty is to collaborate with the world's third economic superpower, the European Union.
Whereas the chimera of national sovereignty has hypnotized the English, in particular, the EU understands the real threats to sovereignty in the hyper-technological twenty-first century and has been developing policies to protect itself.
Specifically, Europe recognizes that it risks becoming collateral damage in the current US-China trade war.
Trump's aggressive overreach in using America's semiconductor dominance to cripple Huawei served as an alarming "Sputnik moment" for the Chinese government, prompting it to launch a massive state-funded national effort to make the country independent in semiconductor production.
China can and is outspending the US in semiconductor development, and is deploying many times the number of highly trained engineers, leaving no doubt that the country will rapidly end its dependence on America in this sector.
If China comes to dominate the global semiconductor industry, as it may very well do, the relationship may be reversed – a battle won, the war lost.
The rational alternative to Trump-style strategic myopia is to help China develop its semiconductor industry based on the principle of reciprocity.
For example, in exchange for intellectual property (IP) and technical support, China could be given permission to build semiconductor factories in Europe to serve European markets and share the jointly developed IP.
This strategy previously worked well with the Japanese car industry.
Technology sovereignty is a particularly salient issue today in the UK, where the government must soon decide whether to allow US technology giant Nvidia's planned takeover of Cambridge-based chip designer Arm.
Nvidia's purchase of the firm – whose microprocessors are in most cars and information-technology infrastructure equipment, as well as 95% of the world's mobile phones – would create yet another giant US technology monopoly, this time in mobile computing.
It would also invariably enhance US powers of coercion vis-à-vis the UK, and deprive Britain of a valuable bargaining chip in the struggle for technology sovereignty.
Beyond maintaining Arm's independence, the UK and the EU should together establish a €100 billion ($120 billion) Technology Sovereignty Fund to counter the $100 billion that the US is spending on its technology sovereignty and the even larger amounts China is mobilizing.
Europe needs to build alternatives to Chinese technology manufacturing monopolies and to US-based IP, digital, and payment monopolies.
The only stable and equitable solution to the global technology sovereignty problem is to apply the reciprocity principle to establish independent sovereignties for the US, China, and Europe.
Achieving that might even lead to a world order in which Vice Admiral Black and the Sixth Fleet spend more time at home.

Loyal dog walks into police station, persuades officers to free his owner [WATCH]
Police Colonel José Francisco De La Cruz Mercedes said he released the man because the dog came to collect him
Dog convinces cops to release his owner | &nbspPhoto Credit:&nbspYouTube
A dog's love and attachment are unconditional, priceless, and forever. And sometimes, it's their love that can get us out of a sticky situation.
A man in the Dominican Republic was arrested last week for flouting local curfew rules, that were been laid down to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, officers at the concerned police station had to release the man sooner than anticipated due to some effective persuasion by his best friend.
The cops were left baffled when the handcuffed man's pet dog came into the station and interrupted the proceedings. Soon, the canon was seen tugging at his owner's shirt.
On seeing the dog's attachment towards his owner, the officers realised it would be cruel to keep them apart. So, they decided to release the man.
Police Colonel José Francisco De La Cruz Mercedes said he released the man because the dog came to collect him, reported The Dodo.
Despite the fact he had broken the rules, Police Colonel José Francisco De La Cruz Mercedes released him only because of the adorable dog, according to The Dodo.
Lost dog walks into police station to report himself 'missing', plays with cops before returning home
"You know why I'm going to let him go? Because that dog came and told me [the man] was his. And that's why I'm going to let him go. The first time I have handed over a prisoner to a dog," Police Colonel José Francisco was heard saying.
The curfew in Dominican Republican prohibits citizens from going out of their homes from 9 PM to 6 AM between Monday and Friday.
During the weekends, restriction timings are increased from 7 PM until 5 AM.
Back in February, a German Shepherd that ran away from his home in the middle of the night managed to reach the Odessa Police Station to alert cops of his 'missing' status. Cops at the Odessa Police Department were shocked when Chico walked into the station on February 11. But he did not create a scene and instead played with the officers for a while.

Background: There is such a long history of nature mysticism. One of the dynamics at play is the idea that we can discover the extent to which God lives and breathes in the creation.
Find a calm place with lots of nature present.
Begin a slow, meandering walk. Be present and aware of your surroundings. Keeping an air of calm, do your best to discover something new in this place.
Be on the look out for a particular object that speaks to you. Perhaps it is a cloud, or a rock, or the way the shadows of a leave lands on the grass. It needn't be big or beeutiful in any classic kind of sense. You might know this thing right away when you see it. You might walk past, consider it for a while, and return.
When you have chosen the thing you will adore, open yourself to it.
Study it with love. As if you had to memorize it. Describe it's appearance.
Apply your other senses to it; listen to it, smell it and touch it, if possible.
To the extent that God is in anything, God is in everything. Experience this object as unfolding of God.
When you are done with your time of adoration, let this object go. Consider whether you have a new understanding of the nature of God. Ask yourself whether you could put this understanding into words.
If you wish, keep this object in your mind as an icon of God's presence in the world.

Prince brings humor, funky new song to takeover of 'Arsenio Hall Show'
Prince showed some of his funny side and debuted a new tune as part of his "Arsenio Hall Show" takeover Wednesday night on the CW network, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The normally press-shy Prince opened up the microphone to Hall's audience for a Q&A during the hour-long special appearance, discussing some of his pet peeves. Continuing the knack for comedy he displayed on his post-Super Bowl appearance on FOX's "New Girl," Prince amused the audience with his answers.
"I was at an Oscars party and people kept bumping into me. And it always seems to be dudes," Prince quipped, discussing one of the things that annoys him.
Prince also had some fun on his Twitter account prior to his appearance, saying for one day, he was changing his name to "Arsenio Rogers Nelson."
The Purple One appeared on the show to promote his forthcoming album "Plectrum Electrum." He said the slowdown on the output of his songs is purposeful, thanks to his love of producing albums.
"We live in a singles market. I come from the old school and love making albums. You wait until you have other songs to go with (ones you like)," Prince said. "Without a contract, there's no rush to do an album."
Prince and his band 3rdEyeGirl played the new song "FUNKNROLL" as part of his appearance. The performance featured the 11-piece New Power Generation horn section on the latter half of the song.
Billboard says Prince also played a couple of his lesser-known songs, "She's Always in My Hair" and "Mutiny."
Half of the audience was wearing purple, Billboard says.
People magazine has a list of "5 Things We Learned" about Prince from the appearance. Among them: He doesn't own a cellphone and he would be a teacher if he wasn't playing music.

Case Threatens Viability of an Open Internet
On September 9, 2013 the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals will start hearing oral arguments in Verizon V. FCC, a "net neutrality" case where wireless provider Verizon is challenging the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) order regulating how Internet service providers manage their networks. Verizon seeks to undo some of the regulatory power of the FCC.
This case will have a major impact on how big companies like Verizon are able to slice away and filter parts of the Internet. If Verizon wins, this could mean that large companies can pick and choose which content they choose to stream. For example, Verizon and other massive companies could chose to filter content provided by competitors or views that don't agree with their political positions. We've already seen a preview of this type of filtering with AT&T U-verse pay service's refusal to broadcast Al Jazeera America. A Verizon win could make this type of refusal even more commonplace.
If the FCC wins then that will uphold the FCC's 2010 rules on Internet usage, requiring companies to provide equal access to all lawful content.
The viability of an Open Internet depends on an FCC victory in this case.
The concept of Network ("Net") Neutrality, often used interchangeably with Open Internet, can be a bit confusing, shrouded in telecommunications and legal jargon. With help from Todd O'Boyle, Common Cause's Program Director for Media and Democracy, I reached out to former Federal Communications Commissioner Michael J. Copps for a Q & A session addressing the importance and necessity of having an Open Internet.
Q & A with the Honorable Michael J. Copps
Michael J. Copps served two terms as a Member of the Federal Communications Commission, from 2001 through 2011—the seventh longest-serving Commissioner in the history of the agency.
His years at the Commission were highlighted by his strong defense of "the public interest"; outreach to what he calls "non-traditional stakeholders" in the decisions of the FCC, particularly minorities, Native Americans, and the various disabilities communities; and actions to stem the tide of what he regards as excessive consolidation in the nation's media and telecommunications industries.
1. For our readers who are new to understanding Net Neutrality, what does Net Neutrality mean?
I really dislike the term "network neutrality," preferring instead "Internet Freedom" or the "Open Internet." Anyhow, what it means is that providers should not be able to favor some Internet enterprises over others. Users have a right to access lawful content, run the applications of their choice, attach devices, enjoy the benefits of non-discrimination, and to expect transparency from providers.
2. What elements of the attack on an Open Internet should Latinos/Latinas be specifically concerned about?
We all need to be concerned about maintaining an Open Internet. Monopoly providers and special interest gatekeepers can deny us the dynamic opportunities opened up by broadband technologies. The Internet cannot reach its potential without guarantees of its ongoing openness. So much depends upon broadband and the Internet, from finding jobs and improving our schools to caring for our health and sharing our cultures with one another. For Latinos and other minorities that are working so hard to find opportunities for themselves and their families, an open Internet is not only desirable–it is a critical necessity.
3. Does chipping away at an Open Internet have a disproportionate impact on people of color?
While I think the lack of an open Internet is a threat to each and every one of us, I believe it is a special threat to those who have not enjoyed full access to the tools needed for creating opportunity, building careers, educating their kids, and access to the news and information needed for full participation in our system of self-government.
4. What effects, if any, would dismantling an Open Internet have on grassroots online activism? If any, can you give an example?
I believe that the Internet opens up tremendous avenues for citizen expression and participatory democracy. It could be a huge assist to taking government back from the special interests and putting the public interest first.
We have seen numerous incidents of grassroots pressure making a difference–one of those was surely the pull-back by Congress from considering SOPA and PIPA legislation not so long ago. More recently, popular outrage at the notorious Citizens United decision of the Supreme Court, which unleashed even more special interest money into our electioneering, has stirred up widespread Internet grassroots activism. We need to keep that activism growing across a wide range of public policy issues so that our leaders and decision-makers begin to understand the impatience of the American people at the way issues are being mis-handled in Washington and in so many state capitals.
5. Is this a U.S. issue or a global one?
In the final analysis Internet Freedom is a global issue because the Internet is a global phenomenon. That being said, however, the first and biggest steps needed here can and should start in our country. What happens here in technology innovation affects the world. Similarly, the business models implemented here have global reverberations in determining how consumers everywhere will be treated. This is not an area we should wait for others to tackle. Let's do it ourselves–now.
6. What can our readers do to have a voice and support an Open Internet?
I hope everyone reading this will talk the issue up–with their families, workplace colleagues, community, state and federal decision makers, the Federal Communications Commission, and both Congress and the President. Genuine reform in our country comes, historically, from the people up–not as a gift to the people from Washington, DC. Telecommunications is a huge part of our economy–probably one-sixth of it, maybe even more. It's too important to ignore. I think the Open Internet, and the threats to it that we have already experienced, should be near the top of our list of national priorities. For me, it's Number One because so much rides on it, from the health of our economy to the way we preserve and extend self-government. Everyone needs to be heard on this national challenge if we are to have any hope of communications that serve the true needs of the people–and by that I mean ALL our people.

The Week in Editorial Cartoons, Part I – New GOP Campaign Slogan: Monosexuality=Bad
by JekyllnHyde
(2 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)
Crossposted at Daily Kos and Docudharma
Christine O'Donnell by Taylor Jones, Politicalcartoons.com, Buy this cartoon
Christine O'Donnell is fast becoming the face of the Republican Party. Her campaign slogan is — to put it in Marxist language — power to the people. Or, something like that. To quote an oft-used phrase on the internet(s) and one used frequently on this blog, "Teh stoopid! It burns."
Time permitting, I will try to post Part II of this diary later on this week.
PLEASE READ THIS: There are another dozen or editorial cartoons in the comments section of this diary that I posted over at Daily Kos. Take a look at them.
THE WEEK IN EDITORIAL CARTOONS
This weekly diary takes a look at the past week's important news stories from the perspective of our leading editorial cartoonists (including a few foreign ones) with analysis and commentary added in by me.
When evaluating a cartoon, ask yourself these questions:
1. Does a cartoon add to my existing knowledge base and help crystallize my thinking about the issue depicted?
2. Does the cartoonist have any obvious biases that distort reality?
3. Is the cartoonist reflecting prevailing public opinion or trying to shape it?
The answers will help determine the effectiveness of the cartoonist's message.

Church of Beck by Clay Jones, see reader comments in the Freelance-Star (Fredericksburg, VA), Buy this cartoon
So the guy who leads a religious rally to restore honor has the habit of questioning someone else's religion (Obama's is a perversion of Christianity) and of calling someone you disagree with a racist. Now that just doesn't seem very Christian like to me.
Well I'm not a Christian so let me say the guy is a toad, a pied piper, a charlatan selling snake oil and the only one who buys and drinks his crap are the most simple minded of fools. I'm not insulting conservatives as I know a LOT of conservatives who agree with me on this guy.
— Jones stating in no uncertain terms that he isn't a fan of the nonsense Glenn Beck preaches. By the way, Jones' editors killed this cartoon for the print edition of the newspaper as, I'm guessing, Fredericksburg is a fairly conservative area about 40 miles south of Washington, D.C.

Zealot Newt by Rob Rogers, Comics.com, see reader comments in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Newt Gingrich has always been a controversial outspoken firebrand … but this time he has gone over the edge. He is adopting the wacky birther conspiracy theory about how Obama was programmed by his father to be driven by a Kenyan anti-colonial worldview. Aside from being a bazaar fabrication, what does that even mean? We were worried about about a crazy zealot burning Qurans. I think politicians like Newt Gingrich are far more dangerous.

Gingrich's Ideal Ground Zero Monument by Lloyd Dangle, Troubletown, Buy this cartoon
For well over a year, the Republican establishment refused to condemn the blatantly racist and bizarre behavior displayed by many in the Tea Party as they conjured up exotic theories about President Barack Obama. Even one of their so-called "intellectuals" (Newtie Gingrich) has engaged in the kind of vitriol and rhetoric that probably hasn't been heard in this country since the McCarthy era in the 1950's.
The Republicans have played this cynical game of ignoring insane people within their ranks for years and now it seems to have bitten them. As they say in Texas football circles, "You dance with what brung ya."
Are these the kinds of people we want in charge of our country? I don't think so.
A good article in Mother Jones magazine describes the problems the Teabaggers are creating for the GOP. Are they secretly working in the Democratic Party's best interests? We don't know for sure but, surely, Christine O'Donnell's ascendancy in Delaware is a gift from the political gods
A Tea Partier Against O'Donnell?
The GOP candidate for Senate in Delaware seems to have the tea party movement behind her. But are some activists having second thoughts?
(Jeff Danziger, Yahoo Comics/New York Times Syndicate, click link to enlarge cartoon)
Christine O'Donnell's GOP Senate primary upset over Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware last week has the media buzzing about how the tea party movement is overthrowing the established order of things-at least for Republicans. But while O'Donnell may be labeled as a "tea party" candidate, the movement is far from a monolith, and there are some in its ranks who aren't all that thrilled to be associated with her.
Andrew Ian Dodge is the Maine state coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots, one of the largest tea party umbrella groups. TPP doesn't endorse candidates, but that hasn't stopped Dodge from expressing his own opinon about O'Donnell. He thinks she's a bit of a nutter. "Everything I've seen about her has made me laugh my ass off."…
Coming as she does from the front lines of the culture wars, where she fought abortion, homosexuality — and of course, wanking — O'Donnell doesn't seem like Armey's kind of candidate, tea party or not. What Armey and FreedomWorks do about O'Donnell — now that she's won the primary and become a tea party star — will be a telling indicator of whether the tea party and the religious right are entering a marriage of convenience.

One of the very best editorial cartoonists ever, Paul Conrad, passed away recently. Cartoonist Daryl Cagle paid his tributes to this brilliant man who was the chief editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times from 1964 to 1993 and had been syndicated to hundreds of newspapers worldwide
Renowned Editorial Cartoonist, Paul Conrad dies at 86
Readers of our site will remember Paul Conrad, who appeared here for much of the past ten years. He was a three time Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist who drew for the Los Angeles Times for almost thirty years before he left the paper in a round of cost cutting, seemingly never to be printed in the LA Times again. Conservative cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, who was again cut and seemingly never reprinted in the Times, replaced Conrad.
Known for his stark, hard-hitting liberal cartoons, Conrad was often the center of controversy. He was a colorful curmudgeon who took pride in being listed on President Nixon's "enemies list." The Vietnam War and Watergate were artistic high points in Conrad's long career. He is one of the all-time greats of our profession and he will be missed.
Here's an excellent column by Bill Boyarsky, a colleague of Conrad at the LA Times, about Conrad's glory days and how the Times turned on Conrad and pushed him away.
Here's a tribute cartoon from our own Bill Schorr, who worked opposite Paul Conrad for many years at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.

There are about about 100 editorial cartoons in this diary. I'll try to post another 20-30 in the comments section on several other issues in the news. Hope you enjoy this week's offering.

End Of Combat Operations by Bob Englehart, Hartford Courant, Buy this cartoon
Speaking of divine, It's divine that President Obama cleaned up the mess W made in Iraq. It's unfortunate that he had to do it in the first place, but the completely inept Bush Administration botched the operation from it's fraudulent start to it's unfinished finish. Obama will have to do the same with the economy, but that's going to take more time to fix than the two wars, I bet.
The tragedy of the whole thing is if W absolutely insisted on invading Iraq because he wanted to defeat Saddam Hussein ("he tried to kill mah daddy") the least he could've done is have some smart people run the war, as his daddy did in Operation Desert Storm. Unfortunately, W's people were as dumb as he is and we probably have twice the deaths and injuries among our fighting men and women we would have had if the war had been waged correctly.
Ah, it's good to be bashing Republicans again.

2. As the GOP Turns: You Reap What You Sow
Chan Lowe, Comics.com, see this excellent reader comment in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Lowe points out that were it not for the economic problems the country is facing, the Democratic Party would be doing a hell of a lot better in polls. The alternative, he implies, is worse and their previous record in office proves it. Also see this blog post about the death of compassionate conservatism — an oxymoronic term if ever there was one
None of this would be happening if we weren't feeling economically insecure. When people are fat and happy, they don't care much about politics. Why fix something if it ain't broke? As long as you are free to splurge on flat-screen TVs, iPads, SUVs and vacation getaways, then finance your sprees by taking out another mortgage on your house, you don't sit around whining about having your constitutional liberties taken away.
If those halcyon days were still with us, Sarah Palin would be just a better-than-average-looking footnote in history, Glenn Beck would be calling high-school football games for a small-town radio station, and Barack Obama would be sailing toward reelection in 2012.
Our current national unrest is evocative of that experienced in the 1920s during the runaway inflation in Germany, when families brought their life savings to the market in a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf of bread. In those days, the anger and frustration reached such a boiling point that every political party had its own paramilitary wing composed of thugs who went out to crack heads in the streets. It was only a matter of time before the frantic and demoralized populace tired of their weak central government's lack of ability to maintain civil order and provide them with a basic living. They ultimately turned to someone who promised deliverance.
The irony, of course, is that in so doing they sacrificed every personal liberty they ever had. In other words, it's all about jobs, jobs, jobs… a much more far-reaching sense than merely determining which party might win a by-election in November.

3. Beck University Ain't Exactly Harvard College!
Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin Speak by Chan Lowe, Comics.com, see reader comments in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Editorial cartoonists too have a dream. People like Lowe dream about the day when Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, and, yes, even Michele Bachmann can run for and get elected President of the United States. If in the unlikely scenario that ever happens, what you'll see is a quadrupling of efforts made by all cartoonists to draw their favorite people.
Will it happen? Lowe acknowledges, sadly, it is only a dream
There has been some delirious chatter in the wake of Glenn Beck's March to Reclaim America's Honor about a "dream" ticket involving him and the nation's favorite Mama Bear. Professionally speaking, I'm all for it. I don't care who's at the top of the ticket. What a gift such a candidacy would be for any cartoonist…
Let's hallucinate for a moment and imagine that a Palin/Beck or Beck/Palin combo actually won in the 2010 election. I can visualize a scuffle on the inaugural dais while they try to rip the Bible out of each other's hands to be sworn in as the chief, each citing constitutional chapter and verse in support of his or her own position…
Finally, let's not forget other sizeable egos waiting in the wings. Newt "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" Gingrich is prepared to assume the office he has always felt was due a man of his gargantuan intellect, and then there's one who makes Glenn Beck look like a finely-tuned scientific balance scale by comparison.
Michele Bachmann for President. Talk about "I have a dream."
… that's mine.

4. Koran Burning: An Idea Born Out of Hateful Conservative Talk
9/11 Attack by Ed Stein, Comics.com (formerly of the Rocky Mountain News), see reader comments on Stein's blog
Stein cannot comprehend why an unknown preacher in Florida would have even considered such an act. If this action (which thankfully was canceled) had proceeded as planned, it would have created problems far beyond the borders of this country
This is so wrong on so many levels it leaves me almost speechless. It is, to put it bluntly, an act of evil. The deliberate destruction of the sacred text of one of the world's largest religions creates greater divisions in this country and around the world, and further jeopardizes our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, who are fighting not against Islam, but against Muslim extremists who have used a warped, fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran to justify their murderous acts. The planned burning will do nothing but inflame them further, and deliver a handy recruiting tool to the Taliban and al Qaeda. This reckless and foolish tantrum endangers us all.

Thompson goes after his very favorite political targets: brain-dead economic conservatives whose capacity to think rationally is severely limited
Another Gulf Oil Rig Explosion
I'm chalking it up to one of those strange coincidences in life. I do an enormous amount of reading for my job, and yesterday I found myself reading another column slamming alternative fuel vehicles on national news website. A $7,500 tax credit (gasp!)… other government-funded boondoggle (gasp!)… u know, the usual criticisms. Less than five minutes later, I found myself on my paper's homepage clicking on breaking news alert about another oil platform exploding in the Gulf of Mexico. Thankfully, this time we were spared another massive oil slick.
Funny how critics of alternative fuel vehicles never talk about the massive subsidies that fuel (pun intended) our addiction to gasoline-powered vehicles. Such as the cost of keeping carrier battle groups steaming in the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean to protecting the oil shipping lanes and guard oil reserves in the Middle East, the cost of the long and bloody wars we fight for oil, the cost of our alliances with despotic oil-producing regimes, the cost of keeping tens of thousands of troops deployed near oil fields around the globe, the national security costs associated with the fight against terror groups that have sprung up as a result of our meddling in the oil-rich Middle East, the cost of massive tax breaks given to oil companies, the human and economic cost of climate change resulting from the burning of fossil fuels that have led to stronger hurricanes and massive flooding, the cost of cleaning up oil spills, and the cost of lost jobs, ruined businesses, devastated ecosystems and shattered dreams in the wake recent oil spills.
My guess is that if you were somehow able to factor in the cost of all these subsidies over the life of a gasoline-powered vehicle, they would make a $7,500 tax credit look like a pretty wise investment of tax dollars.

BP Blame Spill by J.D. Crowe, Mobile Register, Buy this cartoon
There's another BP spill. This time it's not oil. It's blame. BP's first report on what it believes went wrong with the oil rig explosion that caused this country's worst oil spill disaster is careful not to use the words 'fault' or 'blame' in the same sentence as its company name. And it has more finger-pointing than a bad Jerry Springer Show (sorry for the redundancy.)
Halliburton and Transocean are among the top recipients of BP's finger. And, you know what? Most likely, there's lots of blame to go around. When something goes as dramatically wrong as the Deepwater Horizon, it usually takes a perfect storm of mistakes to make it happen.

Paul Conrad by Bob Englehart, see reader comments in the Hartford Courant, Buy this cartoon
If you missed it, please read this recent diary by Leo Zooson — Great Editorial Cartoonist Paul Conrad Dead At 86. You'll learn more about this wonderful man and his innovative work. I mentioned in that diary that I'd try to find some of his original cartoons and tributes to him by his colleagues since his death.
Englehart remembered Conrad on his blog
Paul Conrad, one the greatest editorial cartoonists to have ever sent an angry politician to the phone to yell at a publisher has died of natural causes. He was 86 years old. I found out about it Tuesday but had already drawn my cartoon for the next day's publication. Conrad was a major influence on me, not so much how he drew, but how he kicked ass. His ideas were right on, sometimes brutal. His liberal cartoons were not compatible with the very conservative Los Angeles Times editorial page, so they published his work on the Op-ed page.
I spent an afternoon with Conrad at his house in Rancho Palos Verde, California once. A group of us cartoonists went to dinner with Conrad and his wife Kay at a Los Angeles restaurant. It was the first time I'd ever been to LA and the first time I had sushi and sashimi, which was new to America. Most of us were in town for a cartoonist's convention. He invited me to come over to his house the next day…
I don't remember exactly what was said that afternoon. I was in awe and self conscious about being in the presence of one of the giants of the craft and part of it was, I'm sure, because he was so tall, well over six feet. I met him again in New Orleans at another cartoonist's convention where he talked of his pride in being on Richard Nixon's enemies list.

A Note About the Diary Poll
Ed Stein, Comics.com (formerly of the Rocky Mountain News)
Stein points out that money has always had a major influence on domestic politics but a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision had made it even easier for rich wingnuts to influence elections.
As our Community Director Meteor Blades has asked us of late, what are you doing to prevent such an outcome in November?
You Don't Need to Know
Thanks to a combination of the Supreme Court's overreach in the Citizen's United case, which opened the floodgates to corporate campaign cash, and the GOP's successful blockage of the DISCLOSE Act, this election features an unprecedented tide of secret money attempting to sway voters. This unholy combination is a blow to the democratic process, allowing wealthy individuals and corporations with their own agendas to influence the political process, with no transparency or accountability.
We've already seen how the Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch have surreptitiously funded the Tea Party, and how the same Koch family is attempting to derail environmental regulation in California. We only know because enterprising journalists have doggedly followed the money trail, not because those running for election have willingly revealed their sponsors. How many more ad campaigns are secretly underwritten by folks with narrow business or personal economic interests in the outcome? We don't know, and we won't if Republicans are successful tomorrow in blocking the next vote to require politicians to disclose the sources of their funding.
Remember to take the diary poll.

Q: Gettext without a filesystem For an embedded system with GUI, we are using our custom translation system. The strings are stored in the code ROM of a microcontroller.
Currently we have up to 10 languages and about 400 translated strings (varies depending on the product variant).
Our current system is rather cumbersome and I believe that gettext would be a better solution.
As far as I understand gettext, it requires the use of bindtextdomain to set the directory containing the compiled translations files (*.mo).
Is there a way to instead read the translation from memory? That is I would like to include the compiled *.mo files in the binary, and set up gettext to use these. Alternatively, the translation data would be stored in a data EEPROM without a filesystem.
Or can you recommend a different translation system for use in a microcontroller system (16 or 32 bit, 256 to 512 kbyte ROM) with a C interface?
Edit: I should add that being able to maintain translations apart from the microcontroller firmware would be a reason to switch to gettext. The appropriate translation data would be loaded by the user with a configuration software that we already supply with our systems.

A: This is what I would do: I would include the binary ".mo" in constant variables in the code. You can write a simple converter from binary to a char array and have that ".mo" file compiled inside your program. You would have an array of ".mo" file data, each with a different language.
I would modify libintl sourcecode to access one of those arrays. Check the file loadmsgcat.c, the function _nl_load_domain. See there how it tries to use mmap() (so it's prepared to have everything in memory). Just add some code there to decide which element of your ".mo" array to use based on the language requested.
I haven't tried this, but this is what I would try given your situation. It doesn't look too hard.

Pope Reported to Have Placed Married Priests on Amazonian Synod Agenda
Steve Skojec	November 2, 2017 42 Comments
John Phillips of The Telegraph (UK) reported this morning that Pope Francis has now "placed a request for Roman Catholic priests to be allowed to marry in Brazil on the agenda of a forthcoming synod on the Amazon region". Phillips, citing Vatican sources in the Italian paper Il Messaggero, says that the decision to put "a partial lifting of priestly celibacy up for discussion and a possible vote" comes at the request of Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who heads up the commission of Amazonian bishops. The Synod on the Amazon will convene in 2019.
Last week, we reported that a proposal to this end written by the Austrian-born Amazonian bishop Erwin Kräutler was on the pope's desk and under review. Kräutler had previously claimed that the pope had encouraged the bishops to "be courageous" in their proposals to deal with the challenges they face. Among those, for bishops in the Amazon, is a devastating priest shortage, with only some 18,000 priests serving a nation that is home to 140 million Catholics. Last December, liberation theologian and papal consultant Leonardo Boff said that he knew the pope had received an "explicit request" from "his friend" Cardinal Hummes, to consider allowing a relaxation of celibacy for priests in the Amazon region. "I have heard," said Boff, in an interview with the German regional newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, "that the pope wants to meet this request – for now and for a certain experimental period in Brazil."
Bishop Kräutler also recently said that John Paul II's prohibition on the ordination of women in 1994 "certainly has a lasting effect, but it is not a dogma". Elsewhere, he expressed hope that "Perhaps even Bishop Fritz Lobinger's suggestion will be taken up". Lobinger's proposal, taken from his book, Like His Brothers and Sisters: Ordaining Community Leaders, has been described as
an experimental project whereby parish communities would be led by "teams of elders" selected from among their number and based on the earliest days of Christianity. These elders would not be clerics, though they would be sacramentally ordained priests. A celibate priest-animator would oversee these various ministry teams.
In a 2010 article in the National Catholic Reporter (cited here), Lobinger said that "ordaining proven local leaders could thus be the starting point for a solution" to overcoming the priest shortage. "Because the majority of proven local leaders are women," he said, "it is unavoidable that the question of their inclusion among ordained elders will arise," though he conceded that "present church law does not permit it."
For now, it appears that the only consideration that has moved to the Amazonian synod agenda is that of married priests, though with the Vatican's examination of the question of female deacons now well into its second year, and reported to also be suggested in Krautler's proposal, it may yet wind up on the table in 2019.

"Dialogue"? Priest Who Wrote Letter to Pope Asked to Resign from USCCB
Insane Times: Matricide and Martin Luther


A dazzling, empty piste, its pristine corduroy shimmering in the sun, rolls ahead of me. As I rev up, I let Bruce Springsteen rip with "Born to Run" in my mind. My first turn is slick and precise, as I slice through the snow. I am a master of the universe. The intermediate plateau is in a galaxy far beyond.
A week ago this same slope might have instilled some hesitation. But now I am equipped with a whole new set of tools, not to mention confidence and mindset.
I have been taught by the Jedi Knights of the mountains, the instructors who train instructors at the British Alpine Ski School (BASS) in the French resort of Morzine - and its tree-lined slopes and well-groomed, mainly intermediate blue and red pistes have proved the ideal training ground.
The linchpins of BASS Morzine's team are Jaz Lamb, who set up the school in 2000 and has been part of the training staff for the British Association of Snowsport Instructors (BASI) since 1996, and co-director Becci Malthouse, who's been training instructors since 1998.
On my week, I am part of a group of six on a BASS Personal Performance Camp, with years of skier weeks between us. The first question put to us by instructor Marc Walton is, what do we want to achieve? To be better skiers, obviously!
But, when I nail it down there are a few things I have problems with. Skiing in tight trees for one, landing after a bit of air, jump turns on a steep slope. And carving the ultimate turn when your legs are so extended you could touch the snow with your bum.
To my surprise, what I learn over the next few days is that technically I already have all the skills needed for achieving my aims. But what I do not have is the right focus. Thankfully, there is a way of skiing that brings everything together, and the BASS plan over the course of this week is to make it happen.
Lessons usually fill me with horror. There's that awful moment when you have to ski with everyone watching. The tension makes me hunch my shoulders up to my ears, and instead of feeling like a carefree powderhound, my mind races and I become almost rigid. Still, with the carrot – skiing perfection – dangling in front of me, I'm ready to embrace every word on this camp.
I follow Marc's instruction to notice everything I do while skiing, and to notice how what I do, the snow conditions and the terrain change the outcome. It's about being aware of everything that affects how I get down the mountain - and that also includes my posture, what my core muscles are doing, and how I react to difficult snow.
By the time we've analysed every part of a turn and focused on adjusting our balance when initiating and finishing a turn, I'm acutely aware that I have weaker turn direction. This has stopped me from skiing with rhythm and fluidity, as I'm unable to steer my right ski around to finish a turn. I'd attributed it to my right leg being weaker, but in a total eureka moment I realise it has nothing to do with power – the problem is that I'm blocking the turn by not turning my hip. As soon as I start doing that, my turns even out and the rhythm flows.
So, to help us stop focusing on mechanical skills and become more intuitive, we're told to sing as we ski, while following our instructors and making every turn they do. Immediately the slope seems irrelevant, whether it's steep, off piste or a perfect cruiser – because we are so focused on singing and following.
As I follow Becci, short quick turns, formerly a stumbling block, are not a problem, and long tilting carving turns come naturally. In fact, with Bruce Springsteen thundering in my head (the suggested "Tea for Two" didn't work for me), I can only describe myself as being in the zone.
On my last day in Morzine, a reborn skier, I'm invited to ski with one of BASS Morzine's most respected BASI instructors, Andy Jerram, who is training all levels of BASI instructors for their exams as part of the school's programme for professionals.
It's easy to see how he gets results. He has the gift of making everyone seem important, paying individual attention and pushing you to the next level. We have three hours of bumps training and, amazingly, with my new layer of confidence I am not intimidated at all by skiing with a group of qualified instructors. First we traverse the bumps, dropping into the gullies between them and jumping out over the top of each one, across an entire mogul field. Next we take a line turning only in the gullies. Then we sideslip on a diagonal across the top of each bump. Finally, we put it all together and use the three different techniques to follow the fall line. Straight away I choose a much better line, and don't run out to the side of the piste because I'm going too fast.
In a moment of inspiration I find myself thinking that perhaps I should become a BASI instructor.
BASS Morzine Personal Development Camps cost £330 per person for 15 hours Monday to Friday (three hours a day over five days), with four to six skiers in the group. Find out more about these and other BASS courses at britishskischool.com. Morzine is part of the huge cross-border Portes du Soleil ski area that also includes Avoriaz in France and Champéry in Switzerland. A six-day Portes du Soleil lift pass costs €260 for adults. Find out more at morzine-avoriaz.com. The Hotel Fleur des Neiges is a cosy family hotel close to the gondola, with an exceptional chef. Prices for the week start at €637 per person, half board, or €462 per person bed and breakfast. Four-day stays start at €390 per person half board. Visit hotel-fleurs-des-neiges.com.

Q: Authorize user against resources mvc3 I need to authorize user against resouces in my MVC 3 project. Is it a good practice to do in the following way?
interface IResource
{
    string Id { get; set; }
    bool Authorize(User user);
}

class User
{
    // some logic for user
}

class ResourceA : IResource
{
    public string Id { get; set; }

    public ResourceA(string id)
    {
        Id = id;
    }

    bool Authorize(User user)
    {
        // Query database to check if user has permission to the resource
        // return true if the user has, otherwise false
    }
}

class TestController : Controller
{
    // Get details of resource A
    public ActionResult Get(User user, string resourceId)
    {
        IResource resource = new ResourceA(resourceId);
        if (resource.Authorize(user))
        {
            // do stuff
        }
        else
        {
            throw HttpException(403, "No permission");
        }
    }
}

In the above implementation:
All resources of the website are forced to implement IResource interface.
All requests that interact with resources need to implement authorize code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Solution looks good . If you have specific controller and action related to resource , you can also use the ActionFilter , where you can create the custom logic and check and redirect if validation failed. Attributes is also one of the way of central logic system.Solution depends on how your user is going to interact with the resources.


Since every fact is still fresh in my mind, let's talk about books or rather my reading last year. According to my Shelfari record (thank God I have this account, or else I keep forgetting what I have read due to short term memory lapse and extreme fatigue), I managed 5 books. Ok, not bad.
This year, I finished reading Kinsella's The Undomestic Goddess in January. Shopaholic and Sister is still in my currently reading list although I have started reading since last year. Gosh, I get easily distracted lately. Plus my time is 120% consumed and there's no time to read at all, you know the demanding children, the outstanding housework, the neglected garden and when I have a few seconds extra, I need that for myself. So no reading.
I really plan to read this year nonetheless. Not so much on fiction though but more on cookery and baking stuff. I already have in my possession The Professional Chef book, belongs to my sis-in-law, a case of overdue borrowing; Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess (I really don't want to be one honestly but the reason I bought this book is as a result of being a food channel addict and I like her) also the Whimsical Bakehouse (well, this is not considered as a reading book but more on reference). I guess all three will keep me busy this year.
Despite diverting my attention to cookery, I still have currently in my reading list Kinsella's Shopaholic and Sister (I mentioned this earlier, didn't I? absentminded!!!!), Countess under Stairs and Sha's Pearl S Buck Imperial Woman (OMG, I have been holding her book for almost three years already. Ampun Sha! Ampun!!!! After reading my old notes only I realised that I still have the book with me untouched since the last we spoke). See la if I can finished all three also.
I hope you too have a list to read.


I've been working in a brown palette this week, as I had a skirt order to fill. Much as I love brown, I'm glad to have that done, and to move on to another color range.
Next will probably be black and grey, but I will have to add in some colors, or I will go crazy!

Thank you for all your help on that occasion.
This time I have one questions about to create rule.
I would like to apply rule2 only to routes that did not match rule1.

They knew about ingram being out 4 games but weren't going to spend any resources because it was only 4 games.
This is spot on. It will also take away from AK if Murray is not at least as effective as Ingram in the passing game. Especially as a pass blocker/blitz pick up back. I checked out his career stats in the passing game and considering the types of offenses he's been in, the numbers aren't that bad. I'm sure he understands he will be asked to do more than he's ever done in any of the previous offenses with less touches.
There have been a lot of naysayers on this pickup, but this guy can flourish in the Saints system. Bless MI, but a lot of folks gonna forget him by mid season imo. This is a step up imo.
I was hoping someone would have a good response for the previous comment. That shite really freaks me out. I said the second we signed him. He better be ready to catch.

Q: Understanding copy-initialization in C++, compared to explicit initialization Why does the first commented line compile correctly, whereas the second doesn't?
Why can a be given itself as a constructor argument, but b can't?
Aren't the two doing the same thing?
class Foo { Foo &operator =(Foo const &); /* Disable assignment */ };

int main()
{
    Foo a = a;  // OK
    Foo  b(b);  // error C2065: 'b' : undeclared identifier
}

Update
Since it seems like it's compiler-dependent, it seems like the problem is more severe than I thought.
So I guess another part of the question is, is the following code valid or no?
It gives an error in GCC but Visual C++ executes it just fine.
int main()
{
    int i = 0;
    { int *i(&i); }
    return i;
}

A: In your first code, both declarations should compile. GCC is right there. Visual C++ Compiler has bug.
And in the second code, the inner declaration should not compile. GCC is right there too, and VC++ is wrong.
GCC is right in both cases.
A code like int a=a+100; and int a(a+100); is fine from syntax point of view. They might invoke undefined behavior depending on whether they're created in static storage duration or automatic storage duration.
int a = a + 100; //well-defined. a is initialized to 100
                 //a on RHS is statically initialized to 0
                 //then a on LHS is dynamically initialized to (0+100).
void f()
{
   int b = b + 100; //undefined-behavior. b on RHS is uninitialized

   int a = a + 50; //which `a` is on the RHS? previously declared one?
                   //No. `a` on RHS refers to the newly declared one.
                   //the part `int a` declares a variable, which hides
                   //any symbol with same name declared in outer scope,
                   //then `=a+50` is the initializer part.
                   //since a on RHS is uninitialized, it invokes UB
}

Please read the comments associated with each declaration above.
Note that variables with static storage duration is statically initialized to zero at compile time, and if they've initializer, then they're dynamically initialized also at runtime. But variables of POD types with automatic storage duration are not statically initialized.
For more detail explanation on static initialization vs dynamic initialization, see this:

*

*What is dynamic initialization of object in c++?

A: In your first example, as you note, the behavior is undefined even though the syntax is okay.  A compiler is therefore permitted to refuse the code (the undefined behavior must be guaranteed however; it is here, but it wouldn't be if the invalid initializations were never actually executed).
Your second example has a type error: A declaration is visible as soon as its declarator is seen, and in particular it is visible in its own initializer.  MSVC++ delays the visibility: That's a known non-conformance issue in that compiler.  E.g., with the EDG compiler (which has a Microsoft mode):
$ ./cfe --strict x.c
"x.c", line 4: error: a value of type "int **" cannot be used to initialize an
          entity of type "int *"
      { int *i(&i); }
               ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "x.c".
$ ./cfe --microsoft x.c
"x.c", line 4: warning: variable "i" was declared but never referenced
      { int *i(&i); }
             ^


Phil Schiller, senior vice president of Apple worldwide marketing, announced the iPad Mini during an Apple press event on Oct. 23, 2012.
Have you ever owned an iPhone or an iPad? Listened to music and played games on an iPad touch? Looked at a friend's phone and browsed through hundreds of apps? If so, you know exactly what to expect about the iPad Mini. Everything here is exactly the same. The Mini runs all the apps released for Apple's iOS platform, including apps designed for the iPhone, those built specifically for the iPad, and those that are designed to play nice with both devices.
iOS apps are designed to be run at specific resolutions, which was a challenge for Apple when the company decided to make larger, higher resolution screens. When Apple introduced the retina display with the iPhone, it made things simple by doubling the number of pixels on each axis, from 320 by 480 to 640 by 960. By quadrupling the pixel density, Apple claimed that individual pixels weren't discernible to the human eye at the distance people normally hold the smartphones, making for a very sharp picture. When Apple introduced the third-gen iPad with a retina display, it did the same thing, upping the resolution from 1024 by 768 to 2048 by 1536. Developers could again simply double the horizontal and vertical proportions of their apps, making it simple to support the new resolution.
The iPad Mini introduces yet another screen size, but it smartly keeps the same resolution of the old iPad: 1024 by 768. (There's a trade-off, of course: The Mini's screen isn't as crisp as the higher resolution iPad display -- more on that later.) That makes it easy for the Mini to run Apple's native apps, such as Maps, Messages, Photos and Mail, as well as popular third-party apps like Amazon Kindle and Yelp. More than 225,000 apps listed in Apple's app store are designed for the iPad.
One important software question remains, though: Will apps run on the older processor found in the iPad Mini as well as they do on the much faster fourth generation iPad? The Mini has a much smaller, lower resolution screen to power with its CPU and GPU. Short answer: The iPad Mini can run any app on the Apple store as of its release in late 2012. Longer answer: Let's compare the Mini to the fourth generation iPad released alongside it.
