LITTLETON, New Hampshire ? A New Hampshire man who took several members of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign staff hostage in 2007 was taken into custody on Monday on suspicion of leaving a halfway house overnight without permission.

Leeland Eisenberg, 52, faces a charge of escape punishable by up to seven years in prison after he was re-arrested in the lobby of a community center in Manchester, New Hampshire, the state's Department of Corrections said in a statement.

He had walked away from the minimum security Calumet Transitional Housing Unit in Manchester on Sunday, the statement said. Eisenberg had been eligible for parole in August, a department spokesman said.

In 2007, Eisenberg entered a Clinton campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire, with what appeared to be a bomb hidden under his clothes and took five people hostage, holding them for nearly six hours before surrendering. It was later discovered he had strapped road flares to his body.

In an interview with CNN in 2007, Eisenberg said he took the hostages to raise awareness about mental health issues, the network reported on its website.

The New Hampshire Department of Corrections Investigations Bureau and the New Hampshire State Police were investigating the cause and circumstances that led to the inmate's disappearance.

How to get rid of acne? | Mexico Health Insurance

Any person who has ever experienced acne breakouts will tell you that it?s a very unpleasant experience. And not just because the inflammation in the skin can be very irritating and discomforting. We all are used to the fact that looks are an essential part of a person?s success and this is especially important for teens and young adults who are more emotionally vulnerable than older persons. So when a young person experiences acne breakouts this can seriously affect their social activity and acceptance in groups. You don?t see people with acne problems being too active and playing leading roles in different events. That?s because most of them feel discomfort because of their looks and tend to devote less time to communication and social activity. And this may have serious consequences later on.

So, the logic question is whether there can be something done about acne and what are the means of dealing with the problem effectively? Fortunately for people with acne there are different solutions to the problem that can be used in different situations effectively. So let?s take a short overview of the most commonly used anti-acne solutions.

You have definitely seen numerous anti-acne solution ads in magazines, on TV, the web or in drugstores. Topical cremes, gels and balms that are claimed to be very effective against acne. Fact is that most of these cosmetic solutions can really be effective against certain types of acne to a different extent. A large part of these gels and cremes are sold over the counter and don?t require a doctor to tell you how to use them. However, in more severe cases these solutions can be rather ineffective or even cause additional irritation.

In more serious cases of acne breakouts when typical balms and gels can?t help much it?s recommended that you address a dermatologist. There will be certain analysis taken in order to determine the actual cause of the problem and there may be different solutions prescribed. First of all, antibiotics may be applied both topically and internally in order to eliminate the bacterial infection that?s causing inflammation and consequent acne breakouts. Your doctor may also suggest specific dietary measures (eating less fat, sweets and spicy foods) or even refer you to a gastrologist for further investigation because severe skin conditions are often linked to gastrointestinal conditions.

And if none of these measures don?t help there?s one last solution that is used only in the most severe cases. This drug is called Accutane and it?s really effective for treating severe acne. Acne regulates the activity of oil glands in the skin and eliminates one of the key elements for acne development. However, Accutane is a very potent drug and should only be used under professional supervision. That is why it is only used in cases when all other solutions have already been tried and proved to be ineffective.

So don?t get down if acne is affecting your skin. There?s always a solution you can try to make your problem go away. You only have to take the time and try some of them to see which one works best for you. Or, better, address a doctor to find the right solution together.

Thousands rally to push goals of Egypt's uprising

CAIRO (AP) ? Thousands of Egyptians demonstrated across the country to denounce the president and purse the goals of the 2011 popular uprising.

Saturday's protests marked the fifth anniversary of the formation of the April 6th Youth Movement started in 2008 under former President Hosni Mubarak. Workers in Mahalla tore down a poster of Mubarak in what was a daring move at the time.

The group also played a crucial role in the uprising that toppled Mubarak.

The movement initially backed President Mohammed Morsi in election run-offs last June, but has since turned against him.

The opposition accuses him of acting like his autocratic predecessor and of not having an inclusive political process. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party says Morsi should be challenged at the ballot box, not in street protests.

Majority of Americans now support legalizing marijuana

For years, supporters of marijuana legalization have pointed to polls trending their way, claiming the issue was about to tip as favorable to a majority of Americans.

Now, their prediction has finally come true.

For the first time, a major U.S. poll shows a majority of nationwide support for legalizing marijuana: 52 percent now back legalized pot, compared with 45 percent who oppose it, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. Pew has been asking about marijuana since 1969, when only 12 percent thought it should be legal, and 84 percent said it shouldn't be.

In the last few years, national polls have shown marijuana flirting with overall popularity.

In 2011, 50 percent told Gallup that marijuana should be legal-a record in that firm's polling. (That support sank to 48 percent last year.) ABC and The Washington Post found 48 percent support in November, and CBS found 4 7 percent in favor of legalization in the same month. Gallup reported in December that 64 percent said the federal government should step aside when states clear the way for pot.

The new Pew survey comes on the heels of two big victories for marijuana supporters in 2012, when Washington and Colorado became the first two states to legalize marijuana for recreational use.

Support has grown rapidly in the last three years. Since March 2010, when most opposed marijuana legalization and 41 percent backed it, support has grown by 11 percentage points in Pew's data. Since 2002, it's grown by 20 percent.

The legalization charge is being led by young people: Support ranked highest among 18-29-year-old respondents, 64 percent of whom think pot should be legal. Politically, liberal Democrats overwhelmingly think marijuana should be legal, at 73 percent.

But the idea of legalization has grown by making inroads among Republicans. Since 2010, the demographic that has shifted more support than any other-including groups broken down by age, political leaning, race, gender, and education-is liberal and moderate Republicans. Among them, support has jumped 17 percentage points in the last three years, from 36 percent in 2010 to 53 percent today.

Disney halts game development at LucasArts, moves to licensed Star Wars titles

If you're old enough to have played PC games for more than a decade, LucasArts (originally LucasFilm Games) likely has a permanent place in your heart after a string of legendary adventure and flight combat releases. You'll unfortunately have to put the company as you knew it squarely in the past -- Lucasfilm's new owner, Disney, is ending internal development at LucasArts. The software house is shifting to a licensing model for Star Wars games, reportedly "minimizing the company's risk" while expanding the range of games on offer. There's a chance that in-progress titles like Star Wars 1313 will survive with outside help, according to a spokesperson in touch with GameInformer, but talk of layoffs from Kotaku dampens any chances for direct follow-ups to favorites like Grim Fandango. We won't mourn too much when personas like Ron Gilbert, Lawrence Holland and Tim Schafer have long since moved on to other companies -- still, it's unquestionably the end of an era for game and movie fans alike.

Washington state to clamp down on marijuana smoking in bars

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Washington state will clamp down on bars that have been skirting a ban on public pot use by converting their watering holes into private clubs, as the state navigates how it will regulate marijuana after voters legalized the drug for recreational use last year.

Washington and Colorado became the first U.S. states to legalize marijuana for recreational use in twin popular votes in November. The Washington law will ultimately permit cannabis to be sold and taxed at state-licensed stores.

The state's Liquor Control Board, charged with overseeing the move to legal adult recreational pot use, said on Wednesday that it will crack down on bars that convert into private clubs where individuals can consume marijuana.

"These licensed locations are allowing patrons to either smoke, vaporize or otherwise ingest marijuana on the premises," the board said in a statement.

Brian Smith, a board spokesman, said the law prevents public display of pot use, including in restaurants and bars, a civil infraction that equates to a $103 fine.

"You can't open it up, you can't show somebody, and you certainly can't smoke it or ingest it in some way in a public place," Smith said. "Bars and restaurants are public places that we license."

Smith said there were at least two bars in the Pacific Northwest state where patrons were toking up.

The Washington state liquor control board "will take steps to prevent that kind of activity from proliferating," he said.

The Liquor Control Board has until December to set up a system to oversee adult recreational pot use, which would regulate pot in a way similar to how alcohol is regulated.

Marijuana use remains illegal under federal law.

A law decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana went into effect in Rhode Island on Monday after the state last year became the 15th in the United States to enact such legislation.
