A/N: I'm not so naïve to think this hasn't been done before, but I haven't seen it and the idea captured my attention, so here it is. Italics generally represent 'thoughts'.
Edward's POV
Padded walls were entirely unnecessary.
Honestly. People find out you hear voices and they assume you're going to attempt suicide. Or turn into some kind of serial killer psychopath.
In reality, the voices never did anything as interesting as try to persuade me to take a handful of pills, slit my wrists, or hack up people with an axe. The voices' blabbering were mostly composed of mundane, annoying, trivial comments. Admittedly, it was strange, but completely harmless. But they just didn't understand that.
'They' being the 'nice men in the white coats'. Inconveniently, the good old doctors were under the impression I was having a psychotic break.
Thus the windowless, padded white room I was sitting in.
The pillowed box had been my home for the past couple of days. Though I didn't believe I was insane before I'd been thrown in here, I was definitely boarding the train to crazy town now. The dull, isolating blankness was maddening. Maybe it helped real insane people, but I didn't see how the utter desolateness could possibly inspire any sort of mental clarity.
My only entertainment was the ghosting of shadows along the white vinyl, created from the flickering of one of the overhead fluorescent light bulbs. Of course, I wasn't caged in here twenty-four hours a day. Occasionally an unpleasant, sour-faced orderly would stop by to temporarily free me.
I was quite taken with calling him Burly. I think the name speaks for itself.
Anyway, he graciously escorted me down the hallway for sessions with my case's psychiatrist, Dr. Hudson. After my first session, not long after my intake, they had even decided it would be ok to let me eat with the other patients. Joy.
But besides the doctor and the mundane cafeteria, the shadows were all I had. Frustratingly, there was one major drawback to the small amount of preoccupation the blinking light bulb provided- it buzzed terribly. The sound was so grating that I had taken to humming sporadically in the past couple of hours. Presently, I was working my way through various classical piano melodies and had just landed on Claire DeLune.
I scoffed to myself as I thought about the ridiculousness of the entire situation. Not only did I hear voices, but I was creepily humming to an empty room. And I was laughing at myself. I was becoming the picture of a mental patient. At least I wasn't rocking back and forth- yet. As if the doctors needed any more reasons to consider putting me on medication. I wouldn't be surprised if there was someone in this god forsaken place serving as Big Brother, observing me through a video monitor to catch any new proof of my unwell state.
Hmmm..maybe I could rock just a little. It might be fun to play with their heads and see what the voices said when I saw the docs again.
You see, the voices weren't the type of voices that most people would imagine. They didn't fit into the John Nash, A Beautiful Mind mold. I didn't think the voices were actual people, and I didn't think they were inside my head either. They were in other people's heads.
The voices were people's thoughts. The voices told me what other people didn't say out loud.
Ok, so maybe I would have to take back the statement about the voices not coming from actual people. They did, but not from people who didn't exist.
Obviously, I wasn't insane. I wasn't inventing things. I just read people's thoughts.
I couldn't help that, now could I?
I didn't have time to think much longer about my misunderstood ability before a couple of distinct spoken voices punctuated the stillness. I could tell they weren't internal voices. Those sounded different.
These voices were definitely the kind that engaged in quiet but spoken conversation and I recognized both of them; they belonged to Dr. Hudson and my beloved Burly.
My eyes had drifted shut at some point, but they snapped open as the noise registered. I listened intently to determine where the footsteps were coming from. I pulled my head forward, separating it from the spot on the wall I had been leaning against. The vinyl made an odd noise as I came unstuck and the footsteps paused right outside my white-cushioned door, blocking most of the thin line of light that came through the small crack at its base.
Keys jingled, and door swung open into the room, revealing my two guests and a tiny glimpse of the hallway. I wasn't too disappointed that I couldn't get a full look at it- the hallway was just as sterile as the solitary rooms that lined it. White could only capture my attention for so long.
"What a surprise gentleman," I greeted dryly, turning my head toward the door but remaining in my seat on my bed. The orderly looked at me warily as he had every other time I had seen him. Stupid punk kid…
Ah- the voices were back. They never did stay away for long when I was around people. That was the only peaceful thing about being in this room; at least the only mental voice I had to deal with was my own.
"To what do I owe the honor?" I questioned. I wasn't just trying to irritate them, though sarcasm permeated by words. I was honestly curious. Even without a clock I knew it wasn't mealtime- if I had to guess it was about two in the afternoon. If it was a therapy session, the doctor wouldn't have come down here. Burly would have just dragged me to the interrogation room- another nice little nickname I had synthesized during my long hours of boredom. It was the moniker I had chosen for the small, stark room I met with Dr. Hudson in. But I didn't think I was headed there- the doctor had never come to my room before. Therefore, I was fully at a loss.
"Edward," Dr. Hudson began in a warning tone. The orderly continued to glower at me, ready to restrain me if necessary. Jesus, these people were all about overreactions. First, I get committed for hearing non-suicidal/homicidal voices. Then they walk on eggshells around me because I happened to get angry that they did so. Yes, I had kicked and screamed and thrown one tiny punch- that didn't mean I was ready to spring on them at any moment.
I sighed, relaxing back against the wall in an attempt to prove my pacifism. At this point I was sincerely resigned to my situation. I was beginning to be willing to do what it took to get out of this stupid box. I hadn't even followed through on my rocking plan.
"Yes doctor?" I replied, employing my most respectful tone. I needed to convince these people I was sane- or at least not a risk to anyone.
The orderly glared at me again. He's not fooling me…
Meanwhile, Doctor Hudson's face relaxed. Maybe isolation has served its purpose.
I fought a smirk at the doctor's internal self-congratulation.
"Edward, I came down here to let you know that you have a visitor. He'd like it if you would come and talk with him for a bit."
My head spun and my plans for a bit of playing-nice were dropped. A visitor? Who could possibly be visiting me? There was no one who would be interested enough to show up here- unless ghosts actually existed, that is.
"Who?" My voice involuntarily hardened around the question, and I jumped to a standing position without thinking.
Don't even think about trying anything. I shot a death stare at Burly when I picked up on his thoughts, a perfect match to his. See? Overreaction. I was just caught off guard and he was thinking I was going to whip out a switchblade or something on him. Which there was no chance of me having- I hadn't even packed my own bag, and was just wearing a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.
Doctor Hudson's face showed none of the signs of concern that his counterpart's did. He wore a calm mask, giving nothing away. "I think he'd rather you just meet him in person. Please, follow me." Just do what I say Edward…
I gawked at the doctor's retreating back for a moment. So it was a he? Maybe it was another doctor. Or possibly a social worker.
Burly halted my theorizing, clearing his throat and giving me a pointed look. I rolled my eyes but walked out of the room, aware of his hulking frame's shadow hanging over me. I followed Dr. Hudson's white coat, wondering what in the world this was all about.
Dr. Hudson led me to a part of the hospital floor I hadn't been to in two days. The first shock was passing through the metal door that opened out into the less sterile, more 'homey' section of the ward floor. It was carpeted in industrial gray, but at least everything here wasn't an eye-aching brilliant white. I vaguely recalled seeing the light blue walls and peaceful landscape paintings when I had been forcefully dragged in Tuesday afternoon. That is until someone had stabbed me in the arm with a sedative- after that it all blurred together for a bit and I woke up fuzzy-headed and thinking I had gone color blind.
It was odd to see colors again- almost as odd as passing by the glass-encased desk where patients signed out or willingly signed in. Not that I understood why anyone would ever take that second option. To each their own I suppose.
Unfortunately, we didn't go out the glass door that would have led to the visitor's lobby and the bank of elevators. For the briefest moment I considered making a break for it, but I couldn't stomach the thought of more time sitting in my own personal form of purgatory. With Burly stalking behind me, I'd be back in the room before I could blink- he probably had a fresh needle at the ready.
Thus, with no options I followed the doctor and crossed over into the hallway of conference rooms and doctor's offices. I knew this was where most patients went for therapy and attended group sessions, but I had obviously been deemed too unstable to come to Dr. Hudson's office. Instead, he had come to me- regular protocol for patients 'like me', as he had so gently phrased it.
Yet here I was, with no forewarning or explanations. Burning curiosity at the sudden turn of events was overpowering all of my opportunistic tendencies. I was nearly twitching with anticipation when Dr. Hudson finally stopped at one of the dark wood doors.
He paused for a moment and turned to look at me, his hand resting gently on the golden handle and prolonging my wait.
Oh, I hope he isn't too much trouble…
"Don't worry doc, I'll behave myself. Scouts honor," I promised, holding up three fingers on one hand. He offered a slight smile, eyes full of hope and pity. I couldn't help thinking he wouldn't have had anything to pity if he would just let me out of here.
"I hope so, Mr. Masen. For your sake," he forebodingly responded before opening the door and ushering me in ahead of him.
The room was small, but cozy. The walls were a deep green and there were a couple of armchairs and a small couch surrounding a coffee table. Though institutional and formal, they were an improvement on solid white and gleaming silver.
Standing with his back to the door was what I assumed was my visitor. He was no one that I recognized.
His hands were tucked into the pockets of his black slacks and the sleeves of his white button-up were rolled to his elbows. He turned at the sound of our entrance, smiling hesitantly, and I saw that he was rather young. I appraised him for a moment, taking note of his casual dress and stance. If he were a doctor or social worker, his demeanor should have been more formal.
I considered what this meant until Burly interrupted my analysis and poked me in the back, forcing me forward so that he could stuff his gigantic frame into the room.
The visitor's hand instantly shot out in front of him when I was within range. "Hello. My name is Carlisle Cullen. It's nice to meet you."
My brows knit together, but I couldn't deny his friendliness. His ice blue eyes gleamed with genuine enthusiasm, despite the slight wariness and concern seated in them. Tentatively, I offered my own hand, shaking his twice.
"Edward Masen. Why are you here?" I saw no reason to not cut straight to the point. He had to have a point after all.
Dr. Hudson seemingly felt differently and shifted uneasily beside me, but the blond haired man- Carlisle- only chuckled. I wanted to feel indignant that he found my serious question humorous, but his laughter broke the tension of the room.
"Edward," Dr. Hudson cut in, "Dr. Cullen here is to make a proposal for your consideration. Please take a seat."
He gestured to the couch, but I held my ground. He was another doctor- that made some sense. But why did I get to come up here and meet him? Why hadn't he been in the interrogation room like other doctors I had seen?
Carlisle watched me while I studied him until his gaze suddenly broke with mine. He looked to the orderly, then back to Dr. Hudson.
"Dr. Hudson, if you don't mind, I'd like to speak with Edward alone. Would that be alright?"
Idiot. Burly's voice interrupted my observation of the exchange. He did not approve. Probably assumed Dr. Cullen didn't know what he was getting into.
I don't know if that's a great idea...
Dr. Hudson stood debating with himself, eyes narrowed.
This would work better alone- come on. Dr. Cullen's internal pleading matched his expression as he stared down the older balding man. Dr. Hudson's eyes flicked to me momentarily, but he made his decision.
"Alright. But we'll be just outside if you…need anything."
Dr. Cullen nodded and watched as Burly and Dr. Hudson exited. Rather than turn his attention to me, he sat down in one of the armchairs, apparently not bothered that I continued to stand just inside the closed door.
"So, Edward- you don't mind if I call you Edward do you?"
I shook my head no. "That is my name."
"Alright. Well, why don't you tell me why you're here?"
I snorted, and went to sit on the couch so I could look him in the face. I leaned forward, raising my eyebrows.
"Don't you already know all about that Dr. Cullen?" I asked, emphasizing 'Dr.' "Shouldn't it all be in some file some place?"
He gave me a small smile. "Carlisle please. I'm not here as a doctor, so I only know that you are a committed patient of this hospital's psychiatric ward. All other details are hearsay."
"Carlisle huh? You aren't here as a doctor? Don't you work in this hospital?"
"No, I'm not, though yes, I do. Psychology isn't my specialty. At least not officially."
Now I was more confused than I had been before. What was that supposed to mean- 'not officially?'
"Then what's your 'proposal'?" I asked, putting air quotations around the word Dr. Hudson had used.
"I think I asked you a question first," he pointed out, his voice still kind rather than harsh. For some reason, it made it seem okay to answer him.
I sighed. "Because I hear voices, and apparently that makes me insane."
His face remained calm at my confession. As if people told him they heard voices every day. His lack of a reaction actually earned him a bit of respect in my book, even though I knew he was probably doing it on purpose. I was tired of people flying off the handle when I told them the truth.
"And you don't agree?"
"Why not?"
"Because they're real." I sucked in a small breath. That was the first time I had said that aloud, rather than just insisting I wasn't insane. Hearing it myself, maybe I could understand why others tended toward putting me in the crazy column. But Carlisle just nodded, as if my reasoning made perfect sense.
"Why don't you tell me about them?" I paused, eyeing him. Besides my doctors, I had only told my therapist anything about the voices, and it had landed me in here. But Carlisle was taking everything else so well, even if I had no idea what he wanted, so I answered.
"I'm not schizophrenic. The voices are just…they're people's thoughts."
"You can read minds?"
"Yes." He thought about that for a minute, never breaking eye contact.
"What am I thinking?" I sighed. His internal voice had been chattering away, though it had been relatively calm for the past few minutes. I listened intently for a few seconds before answering.
"You find this all very interesting. Even though you aren't sure what to think."
He gave me a dry smile, but it wasn't patronizing as I was accustomed to. He wasn't the first to test me. "Astoundingly accurate. At the very least, you know how to read people."
I ignored the connotation of his second comment, which fit with what the others had said when I had effectively answered the exact same question. I decided I would take the compliment instead. I found myself wanting to like the man who sat in front of me.
"It's your turn. Why are you here?" We had discussed my presence in the mental ward, but all I knew was that this stranger was here with a proposal for me, the accused mentally-unstable teenager. I was intrigued.
The golden-haired man took in a deep breath, preparing himself to answer.
"I was the doctor that treated you and your parents." So tragic.
Oh. A barrage of images and memories assaulted my mind's eye, replaying the events that haunted my dreams. Me, driving my parent's Lexus after begging for the keys in the parking lot. My father sitting beside me and my mother in the back middle seat. Coursing along the roads on the way home from my piano performance as part of one of Chicago's most esteemed symphonies for young adults. The silence that had permeated the car because my parents and I never seemed to have anything to talk about anymore and we hadn't been able to agree on a radio station. The blinding lights of the delivery truck I hadn't seen because I had been too caught up inside my own head. The sickening crunch as I pulled into the intersection and the truck hit the passenger side of the car, nearly bending our town car in half. The quiet that had descended, everything ending as quickly as it happened. Ambulances and police cruisers arriving, sirens blaring.
As if the sirens were in the room, I was shocked out of my reverie by the mental recollection of the noise. I choked down any more flashbacks, blocking out the much more painful part of that night. My hand flew to the bridge of my nose and I pinched it, attempting to compose myself. When I opened my eyes, Carlisle was still watching me, expression unchanged.
"That doesn't really answer my question," I stated, my voice trembling despite my efforts. I clenched my jaw.
For the first time, Carlisle looked away momentarily. He cleared his throat, looking at the generic painting of colorful sailboats in a sunny harbor. He blinked twice then turned back to look me in the eye.
"You know your father was already gone when he came in- he took the brunt of the collision. But your mother- she fought so hard." Such a brave woman…
I wanted to interrupt him- I wanted to make him stop. He was pulling at a wound I was determined to ignore e and his thoughts weren't any better. But I couldn't, because I needed to know what could have possibly made him come to see me. Doctors didn't usually become so interested in their patients after they treated them, did they?
"She should have been dead. She certainly shouldn't have been conscious- there was so much blood loss." He spoke as if a trance, and I was being pulled under with him.
"Instead, she was awake and alert. She made me tell her how you were." I winced. The truck had hit both on the passenger side and further back on the car. As a result, my injuries hadn't been serious, and I couldn't deny the guilt I felt. Other than a concussion from banging my head on the steering wheel and some cuts, I hadn't needed much medical attention.
"I told her you were fine, but she wasn't satisfied. She demanded I take care of you, make sure you came out of everything ok. She made me promise to do everything in my power to ensure your well-being."
He paused, and I assumed he was finished.
"Well, you did your job. I'm alive."
He looked at me with sympathy. Except you're not ok. "But you're in a mental institution," he stated, as if his point was obvious.
"That isn't your fault. You're no longer obligated."
"I think I am. She said 'everything in my power.' There are still a few more things in my power."
I narrowed my eyes. What could he possibly mean? He wasn't a psychiatrist. He had already told me that. Besides- I didn't need any more shrinks. I didn't need any shrinks at all.
"What could you possibly do?" I expected him to look away when faced with my blunt question and harsh tone. He didn't. If anything, his gaze became more determined, though cautious and hesitant.
"Edward, my wife and I have created a family by taking in teenagers who didn't have families and needed help. We can welcome you with open arms- provide you with a safe place and anything else you may need. I'm here to offer you a home."
I felt like I had just been punched in the gut. I felt like the air had been forced out of my lungs. That was the last thing I had expected the man to offer.
"You want the crazy orphan boy to come home with you?"
"That is my proposal. Except I thought we had already established that you aren't crazy."
I took a deep breath. It felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest as I considered the possibility. It was just so…unexpected. I couldn't even compose my own thoughts.
"Why would I do that? Come live with a bunch of strangers?"
"For one, it's better than a padded cell."
"I don't think that will last forever," I shot back. Although, secretly, I knew another minute was too long. The thought of white was beginning to make my stomach turn.
He looked contemplative and turned his head slightly to the side. "I suppose not- if you would really rather stay, I could pull some strings to get you out of there tonight. Maybe even get you transferred into a more…pleasant facility. But I can promise my home would be much better than either of those options, or the group home you'll go back to when you are eventually released."
He hit home with that one. My memories of my first two weeks in the local group home after my hospital release were not pleasant. I had no living family after my parents' deaths. They were only children and my only surviving grandparent was in a retirement home, suffering the aftermath of a severe stroke. A judge had decided I should be sent to the home until a foster family could be found.
The group home's food was disgusting, the rooms were worn down, and the kids were messed up. Because it was late July, I couldn't even escape to school. The director was also the one who had forced me into grief counseling. By the transitive property, the group home was the reason I was in this hospital. But Carlisle had said his family was made up of teens without families- the 'Cullen House for Lost Children' didn't sound so much different from a standard group home. Then again, at least he and his wife picked kids willingly. It couldn't be any worse, could it?
"How can you do that? And how soon could I be out of here?" I didn't have anything to lose by learning more. If Carlisle could get me out of here, I was going to take my chances.
"I'm a well respected doctor, and I sort of have a reputation in situations such as these," he said, sheepish. How do you get a reputation for taking in teenage mental patients? Not that I really cared. "We could leave as soon as you get your belongings and the paperwork is signed."
My eyes widened. "Now?"
He grinned at my disbelief. "Absolutely. Is that an acceptance?"
I shrugged, deciding to reign in my excitement until I saw how this all turned out. "Why not?"

The second crime novel by internationally best-selling writer Eoin Colfer is a gritty and utterly compelling follow-up to the critically acclaimed Plugged.
In Screwed, Colfer adds an entirely new chapter to the adventures and misadventures of Daniel McEvoy, the down-on-his-luck Irish bouncer at a seedy New Jersey bar who, with the help of a motley crew of unlikely characters, solved a bizarre string of murders - including the one of the girl he loved. But people around him continue to die mysteriously, and Daniel is called into action once again. Colfer, beloved by millions for his Artemis Fowl series, has written a riveting and relentlessly paced sequel that is sure to garner international praise.
With wildly inventive imagination and head-spinning plot twists, Screwed is a tour-de-force that rivals Carl Hiaasen at his very best.
"Dominated, driven, and fully animated by a refreshingly original voice….Great writing." (Washington Post)
"Incomparably clever and witty….Has a Quentin Tarantino-meets-Carl Hiaasen quality." (Los Angeles Times)
"Lots of bloody fun." (New York Times Book Review)

Inspired narration
The book is very funny and the narration by John Keating is so pitch perfect it feels like it is being read by the author who happens to be a gifted Irish actor. Humor never had it so good.
- William "Pocket Limbo"
Don't say the F!@# word so much. Really must it be said five times in as many minutes/seconds? I understand trying to appeal to an adult audience but this is overkill. I wish I could trade it back in for another book. Even if I only got half value on the trade in. I used to be able to recommend Eoin Colfer unilaterally. Not any more! Very disappointed.
If it was book I would have drop kicked it into the fire place.
Anything but this series. Unless he has another as adult and vile as these. If you like the rest of his books YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS ONE! I realize that all caps means yelling, my wife told me to calm down when I told her about it.
His depictions were well done, no real favorite. Probably the doctor.
I must say John Keating is THE redeeming virtue of the performance. John Keating's was phenomenal, he nailed the accents. It was great! His depictions of flashbacks matched that of many vets I've spoken with.
Just walk away now. If you like the rest of his books, you won't like this one.
- Karen Y.

Jakarta's first Christian governor is on trial for blasphemy over his previous remarks regarding the Quran, an accusation some say is politically motivated.
Close ties between the US and South Korea could become less so under new governments in both countries. The ouster provides an opening for the center-left South Korean opposition, which has criticized trade and military ties with the US.
By holding up a confrontational online 'mirror' to South Korea's conservative yet tech-savvy society, a provocative website has paved a path for a new generation of activist young feminists.
Close to 100 people were killed and hundreds others injured by an earthquake that struck Indonesia's Aceh province early Wednesday morning.
The level of protest and criticism of President Park is a major shift for a country that the UN Human Rights Committee warned last year was using criminal defamation laws to prosecute critics.
After more than eight years in power, John Key said on Monday that it was the 'right time' to leave politics.
President-elect Donald Trump's phone call with Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen is drawing ire from China as concerns arise about stability of future Sino-US relations.
North Korea called the sanctions an "abuse of power" and will be met with tough countermeasures.
The presidential scandal's bizarre details have provided fertile ground for misogynistic beliefs in a nation where gender inequality is deeply entrenched. But women are pushing back.
The 15-member UN Security Council tightened sanctions Wednesday following North Korea's latest nuclear tests in September.
Following a flare-up of clashes between security forces and the minority Muslim Rohingya community in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi is under pressure to address the violence.
South Korean president Park Geun-hye said Tuesday that she was willing to step down – and asked for parliament's guidance. For many, it's an effort to prolong her rule, even as she faces a corruption scandal and record levels of unpopularity.
President Park Geun-hye said she will "leave the matters about my fate, including the shortening of my presidential term, to be decided by the National Assembly," referring to parliament.
The Cabinet, following a 1924 law on succession, submitted Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn's name to the National Assembly after a brief meeting, where members formally acknowledged him as the new monarch.
An amusement park in Japan closed a skating rink that featured thousands of fish frozen into the ice, after a flood of Facebook posts decried the attraction as 'immoral.'
Trump's message was issued just after leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group ended their annual summit Sunday.
Trump prompted alarm during his campaign by saying he would be willing to withdraw American forces stationed in South Korea unless Seoul paid a greater share of their cost.
It was the largest earthquake in northeastern Japan since the 2011 one and some large aftershocks the same day.
After an attack by ethnic separatists near China's border with Myanmar, China said that its military would act to protect its citizens.
China's financial capital opens its first such facility Saturday – World Toilet Day – in hopes it will address a key gender disparity in access to sanitation: wait times.

great majority of the buyers of these guns never join an airgun group, never
attend an airgun match, or even read a shooting publication, yet the fact that
they, like you, are searching for an airsoft gun store indicates they know the
difference between spring-powered guns and the gas-powered and electric types.

of accessories such as paintballs, BBs, and other items. More items are being
added all the time. And don't be dissuaded: cheap Airsoft guns does NOT mean low

Pundits would have been dismissed as clueless had they predicted a decade ago that in a critical European Union discussion on the Middle East, Greece and Cyprus would emerge as the countries that would – in the words of US President Barack Obama – "have Israel's back."Greece and Cyprus? Two countries that for decades were arguably the most pro-Palestinian countries in Europe? Two countries that could be counted on to regularly bash Israel? They were all of a sudden going to come to Israel's diplomatic aid? No way.

There are households in this great nation of ours where the advice of Sam, Fido, Thumper or Vom would be most welcome, indeed where - if the ballot booth curtains could be drawn tight enough - the family dog would be encouraged to put his paw mark on the ballot paper.
But how would we mutts vote? One can guess about the aforementioned Vom. He is Westminster Dog of the Year, and you would expect his loyalty to lie with his master, the Tory MP Philip Oppenheim.
But Vom's master is not the only one of our erstwhile parliamentarians who has been cultivating the doggie vote. When it comes to pets, opposition to government intervention, freedom of markets, anything that smacks of principle or consistency be hanged. If the name of the game is slavering to special interests, Members of the House of Commons can give dogs a run for their money any day.
The National Canine Defence League has them queuing up to sponsor its favoured legislation. Liberal Democrat Diana Maddock won its seal of approval for taking action against puppy farming. Labour is not far behind the private member dogsbody stakes - few tears were shed in Walworth Road at the demise the other week of the oddly-named Peter Doig, an old Labour MP who pursued dogs with a vigour he otherwise reserved for denouncing the abolition of hanging.
Yet it would pay us canines to peruse the party manifestos with care. George Orwell was right: all animals are not equal. "Animal welfare" could mean stopping dogs on Exmoor getting their teeth into a nice piece of venison. For upper-class dogs - at least those with owners who can afford to sojourn overseas - the Tories are tentatively offering freedom from compulsory kennels on their return to these shores, promising to review the quarantine rules without appearing soft on rabies.
For pit bulls, Rottweilers and other aggressive members of the canine cousinage, the Tories will for ever remain the party that introduced the Dangerous Dogs Act which, though now amended, put the mark of Cain on so many innocent if knobbly doggy brows. Beagles and other hunting hounds - who like nothing so much as yapping in a pack before tearing some cornered fox or stag limb from limb - will assuredly not be voting Lib Dem or Labour. The latter both promise a free House of Commons vote on banning hunting. Perhaps the Lib Dems redeem themselves in beagle eyes by promising to think about banning the use of dogs in experiments.
For the average mutt, cocking his leg in the street or defecating in the children's play area in the park, it is a toss-up between the parties. The Tory manifesto is silent on the matter of turds but sapient dogs will not forget it was Tory councillors in Westminster who pioneered pooper- scoopers - surely a source of canine shame - and it was Tories also, in Wandsworth, who have threatened evictions for letting dogs relieve themselves on estates.
But what self-respecting street dog would not like to sink his gnashers into the calf of Labour's Jack Straw. If he became Home Secretary, his penchant for registration and anti-fouling laws would make ours ... a dog's life.Reuse content

We loved our quaint and odd apartment in Rome. Great location. As long as you are prepared to accept its age and odd layout it is the best for a couple to stay. so near to everything. When our Wi-Fi broke down and we reported the fault it was fixed on the day - great service.
Thank you so much
I can only recomend this wonderfull apartment in Trastevere. The terrace is really amazing. From the top we could see the most of Rome. And all the things we saw was in walking distance from the apartment. Im sure we will come back one day, everything was working ok from pick up in the airport, info in apartment, and pickup to go home again, absolutely super.
Nice appartment in Monte Verde.
Fabrizio who welcomed us was very friendly and told us a lot of useful information about Rome.
The entrance to the garage was quite narrow when arriving in a sedan (audi a4).
Public transportion was in close approximity to the appartment as was three supermarkets and several restaurants.
To earn the last star a few details was missing.
All in all a nice place to stay when in Rome.
We enjoyed it very much to have this apartment as our base in Rome. More than enough space for a family of 8 persons and a nice living room / kitchen to start up and end the day together. Very good, local restaurants in the street. And last but not least, the apartment is on a very good distance from Rome city...
We spent a great weekend at the apartment of Emiliano and Maria, who were also very patient with us (Thank you again for that. :)). It's very spacious and comfortable and well situated just down the street from Vatican. We received 2 sets of keys, what was very useful, too. We were provided with everything necessary; towels, shampoo etc.
FYI: Just down the street is a great bar, where we had breakfast. They are making a great cappuccino there and had amazing cornetti as well.
I'd highly recommend staying there.
The apartment is ideally situated in cozy Trastevera. That said, the stay was somewhat disappointing. The apartment definitely needs to be painted and especially the bathroom needs to be refurbished. There is very little water pressure on the water in the shower. Also, there is a big hole in the wall above the door telephone. The kitchen is so small that it is almost unusable. The terrace was dirty. We paid DKK 10,700 for 9 days plus city tax, which is way too much.
Trastevere is the best place to stay, when in Rome. The apartment is fine, however a lot of noise from the street all the time also during night, that we didnt know! we were four persons, but only two wineglasses and two big towels in the apartment. The terrace was not ready for visitors, quite dirty and dusty. The bathroom needs to be fixed.
Three of my family members and I stayed in Rome for medical purposes. The apartment was very spacious for an apartment in the city, and the price was excellent for the size. Having a clothes washer, large bedrooms, and separate kitchen, dining, and living spaces was ideal and very convenient for our long stay. The couch is large and comfortable, and all three bedrooms have true double beds (none are twin beds pushed together), so you could stay up to 7 people very comfortably. The hosts responded to messages promptly and were very helpful in answering our questions before we arrived in the city. There is a grocery store, Carrefour, just a couple blocks away, and a market for fresh produce during the morning and early afternoon on the other side of the building. Go to Osteria dei Pontefici two blocks away for dinner, and Capitan Cono just a couple blocks further for gelato!

When it comes to juicing, sweet potatoes may not be the first vegetable you think of, but you can mix them with other juices to add richness and a smooth, thick texture. Strawberries, with their acidity, pair well with the sweet potatoes, as does fresh apple juice. Go all-vegetable and mix carrot juice, orange juice, a dash of lime juice and sweet potato juice together for a nutrition powerhouse with zing. As with all fresh juices, drink it straight away.
Things You'll Need
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly with clean water and peel it.
Chop the sweet potatoes into strips or chunks small enough to fit into your juicer.
Juice the sweet potatoes as instructed in your juicer's operational manual.
Wash, chop and juice carrots, oranges, or any other fruit or vegetables and add to your sweet potato juice.
Add the juice to a blender with a handful of crushed ice.
Blend the juice and ice to create a refreshing frothy juice drink.

Position-based Routing in Ad Hoc Networks Brad Stephenson A presentation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the course ECSE 6962
Objectives Introduction to position-based routing Discuss location services Discuss specific routing algorithms –Greedy algorithm –Directional flooding algorithm –Hierarchical algorithm Comparison with topology-based algorithms
Review Topology-based routing –Uses information about the (virtual) links that exist in a wireless network –Can be: Proactive Reactive Hybrid
Position-based Routing Additional information is used to make routing decisions, namely the physical location of the node Decisions made based on destination's position and position of forwarding node's neighbors Uses a location service to obtain the location of the destination node
Position-based Routing Does not require routing tables Traffic overhead may be small Supports delivery of packets to a geographical area, called geocasting [NI] Three broad categories: –Greedy forwarding –Restricted directional flooding –Hierarchical methods
Location Services Centralized location service –Mobile nodes register their position with the location service –The service is contacted when a routing node wishes to find a destination node –Similar to cellular network –Requires that position servers be well-known –Only works with a non-ad-hoc external service
Location Services Decentralized location services can be: –All-for-all –All-for-some –Some-for-all –Some-for-some See [MWH]
Decentralized Location Services C A D EB G F IDDirectionDistanceTimestamp Node A wants to send an update DREAM [B]
Decentralized Location Services C A D EB G F IDDirectionDistanceTimestamp Node A wants to send an update DREAM [B]
Decentralized Location Services C A D EB G F DREAM [B] IDDirectionDistanceTimestamp Node A wants to send an update
Decentralized Location Services C A D EB G F Spatial Resolution DREAM [B] IDDirectionDistanceTimestamp Node A wants to send an update
Decentralized Location Services C A D E G F DREAM [B] B Temporal Resolution
Decentralized Location Services C AL E G S Quorum-Based [MWH] H I B J K D 1 2 3 The backbone must be set up using a non-position based ad hoc routing mechanism
Location information for node A is stored in a virtual homezone The position of the homezone can be found by applying a well-known hash function to the node ID Decentralized Location Services Homezone [MWH]
Decentralized Location Services Homezone [MWH] C A D E B G F P
Taxonomy of Routing Algorithms [S02]
Key Assumptions Unit Disk Graph (UDG) model of physical layer Nodes are in two dimensional space Homogeneous nodes in the network What major limitations do these assumptions expose? Depends on the application
Key ideas in Position-based Routing Algorithms [GSB] Loop-freedom Distributed operation Path strategy Metrics Memorization Guaranteed delivery Scalability Robustness
Loop-freedom Should be inherently loop-free Avoids recovery strategies –timeout of old packets –memorizing packets that have been seen before
Distributed operation Localized algorithms are preferred if performance matches global algorithms Decisions made based on local information Reduced overhead If using n-hop neighbors, can be classified as 2-localized, 3-localized, etc.
Path Strategy Single path Flooding Directional Flooding Multipath
Metrics Hop count Hop quality Power consumption Policy-based cost Expected hop count (accounts for retransmissions) [S02]
Memorization Better to avoid memorizing traffic because of queue size and changes in mobility Required for QoS-guaranteed paths
Guaranteed Delivery Delivery rate = # delivered / # sent Guaranteed delivery has delivery rate = 1 To achieve this, we need a MAC protocol which provides retransmit or no collisions
Scalability Increase in overhead as number of nodes increases Sometimes a subjective measure
Robustness How does mobility affect the algorithm How accurately can we determine the position of the destination
Greedy Algorithms Loop free [SL] Localized information Single path strategy Metric: Hop count No memory No guarantee of delivery Scalable, O( sqrt(n) ) [MWH] Somewhat robust
Greedy Packet Forwarding 4 S 2 3 5 1 (x, y) = (10, 3) "Send to (10, 3)" R D
Greedy Packet Forwarding 4 S 2 5 1 Most Forward within R [TK] R 3 D
Greedy Packet Forwarding 4 S 2 5 1 Nearest with Forward Progress [MWR] R 3 D
Greedy Packet Forwarding 4 S 2 D 5 1 Compass Routing [MWR] R 3
Greedy Algorithms Most forward within R –Get as far as you can within sender's range Nearest with forward progress –Makes collisions less likely Compass Routing –Send to nearest neighbor that is directly between sender and receiver
Greedy Routing Failure [MWH] Local maximum
Recovery Algorithms Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing Protocol (GPSR) Face-2 algorithm Other variants/combinations Based on traversal of planar graphs Returns to greedy mode when closer to destination than when it entered recovery
Recovery Algorithms Construct the planar subgraph [T] Forward the packet along interior face using the right hand rule
Recovery Algorithms [MWH]
Recovery Algorithms 4 S 2 D 5 1 3 Assume communication only occurs along the edges of the planar graph Scan begins at incoming edge
Recovery Algorithms 4 S 2 D 5 1 3 Assume communication only occurs along the edges of the planar graph Recovery complete! Revert back to greedy mode
Restricted Directional Flooding Not loop free Localized operation Path strategy: flooding/multipath Metric: Hop count Memory No guarantee of delivery Not scalable, O(n) [MWH] Not robust
Restricted Directional Flooding DREAM and LAR Send packet to all neighbors "in the direction" of D How do we determine this direction?
Restricted Directional Flooding DREAM Expected Region [B] Expected Region D R S q
Restricted Directional Flooding Needs a recovery mechanism if no neighbor is in the direction of the expected region None specified in DREAM proposal Area of future work DREAM Expected Region [B]
Restricted Directional Flooding Uses the idea of restricted flooding toward the expected region for path discovery in non-position-based routing protocols [KV] Location-Aided Routing [KV]
Hierarchical Routing Terminodes and Grid Routing Possibly reduces the complexity of information each node has to handle Improves scalability Can ad hoc networks also reap these benefits? Not without tradeoffs!
Hierarchical Routing Uses greedy approach for long-distance routing Uses non-position-based approach at the local level (proactive distance vector) Allows non-position-aware nodes to participate More tolerant of position inaccuracy More complex to implement Grid Routing [MWH]
Topological vs. Positional Terminodes shown to improve packet delivery rates and overhead compared to reactive ad hoc routing [BGL] GPSR performs better than DSR in almost all criteria including overhead and delivery rate [Br] Both results are from simulations
Are there any applications? Vehicle-to-vehicle communication networks Geocasting can be useful for … –Tactical military information –Disaster response –Personalized Internet experience –Home security
(IMHO) Very little experimental work done, mostly simulation Assumptions limit the scope, practicality of results Solution: Need more engineering graduate students to conduct experiments
Future Work There is a plethora of ideas Quantitative work must be performed Investigate hashing in highly dynamic networks Probabilistic approach Recovery strategies within constraints Deeper hierarchies (3-tier, etc.) What about anonymity?
Open Problems Remaining Mobility-caused loops Congestion considerations (replace hop count metric with e2e delay) Quality of Service considerations An excellent recent paper on using a non- UDG model is [SNK]

Arsene Wenger said yesterday that he will extend his contract at Arsenal after the club announced they had finally secured the £260m they need to borrow for their new stadium at Ashburton Grove.
"I'm prepared to be committed to the club at least until we go into the new stadium," Wenger said ahead of tonight's Champions' League tie against Celta Vigo here. "But I don't think my contractual situation is a worry because I'm at least under contract until 2005."
With the £357m project due to be completed by the 2006-07 season, Wenger will be expected to sign at least a two-year extension to take his tenure at Arsenal to 12 years. "For the rest of my career?" Wenger replied when asked if it would be his last club. "I don't know because I don't know how long [that will be]."
It was clear that Wenger, a passionate advocate of the need for Arsenal to move from Highbury to a larger 60,000-seat stadium, feels that he has a duty to stick around. "I think I have pushed the board into the situation," he said. "So for me to run away would not be very fair. Of course I feel responsible. It's a gamble but it shows that the club are willing to go for it."
Keith Edelman, Arsenal's managing director, said: "I think that Arsène is very committed to the club. When he renewed his contract last time, it was not an issue of whether he was going to renew. It was the financial situation." By which he meant the uncertainty over whether Ashburton Grove would go ahead.
Wenger indicated that he feels he has managed through "lucky findings, lucky buys" to enable Arsenal to punch above their weight. The capacity at Highbury is, after all, 30,000 below that at Old Trafford and revenues suffer. Imagine what "natural potential" could be fulfilled, Wenger said ominously, in a bigger ground.
Edelman said of the manager's new contract: "It's something that we have not yet completed but I'm relaxed about it." Arsenal were also sanguine about an approach by Barcelona for Thierry Henry, which both clubs revealed was quickly - and unceremoniously - rebuffed even if the Spaniards admitted to feeling some indignation.
Arsenal were in a curiously relaxed mood as they attempt to reach the last eight of this competition for only the second time in six years. The confidence was undoubtedly fuelled by their astonishing form, making them currently the most formidable team in Europe, and, of course, the announcement about Ashburton Grove. But there was also a realisation that Europe is no longer as daunting as it was and they are determined to rectify a terrible record in Spain, where they have lost five and drawn one of their last six games.
"It's an opportunity to show we have improved," Wenger said. "I'm sure even the players thought they had an 80 per cent chance of going out," he added in reference to Arsenal's appalling start to the Champions' League in the autumn. "I would not say we'll win it [the competition] but we have shown the qualities needed in Europe."
Most eyes will be on Jose Antonio Reyes, the £17m signing from Sevilla, who is due to start alongside Henry. "It's a game for which he does not have to adapt," Wenger said. "For him, psychologically, it will be a bit different and special." Ashley Cole and Gilberto Silva will be missing but Patrick Vieira has passed a fitness test on his damaged knee.
Celta are one of the weakest teams in the last 16, and are having a poor season in La Liga. Their new coach, Raddy Antic, who has been linked with the Tottenham job, stopped a flood of goals and admitted that performing in the Champions' League was the reason he accepted a deal until the end of the season. Antic is vastly experienced - the only man to have coached Spain's top three clubs - and has been likened to Wenger by Spurs' caretaker manager, David Pleat.
Antic has undoubtedly galvanised the players, including the former Aston Villa striker Savo Milosevic - like Antic a Serb - and the Brazilian Silvinho, once of Arsenal. For him, it is not likely to be a happy reunion. This Arsenal side should have too much.
Celta Vigo (probable, 4-3-2-1): Cavallero; Velasco, Sergio, Berizzo, Silvinho; Angel, Luccin, Vagner; Edu, Mostovoi; Milosevic.
Arsenal (probable, 4-4-2): Lehmann; Lauren, Touré, Campbell, Clichy; Ljungberg, Edu, Vieira, Pires; Reyes, Henry.
Referee: A Frisk (Sweden).

NIFA approved Nassau County's budget plan after adding stipulations allowing it to control Nassau spending habits throughout the year. (12/4/15) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments December 4, 2015 7:40 AM UNIONDALE - NIFA signed off on Nassau's budget plan after adding stipulations allowing it to control the county's spending habits throughout the year. NIFA originally rejected County Executive Ed Mangano's 2016 budget plan, saying it relied too heavily on shaky revenue assumptions. The board has determined that the county's budget includes $81 million in risks. To address that, the board will review the county's finances on a quarterly basis in 2016. Nassau must demonstrate each quarter that a portion of its projected revenue is actually coming to fruition. If the county fails to do so, NIFA will slash funding to non-essential programs, and cut off any new spending. Mangano released this statement in response to the resolution. "With the adopted budget in place, Nassau will continue to provide important services while keeping our county the safest large suburban county in the nation," the statement said. Meanwhile, News 12 has learned that the Republican-led Legislature will vote later this month to approve raises for all 19 of the county's legislators. The legislators currently earn a little more than $39,000 per year. The bill calls for the legislators' salaries to nearly double.
