DOVER, N.H. (CNN) -- Before holding hostages for five hours Friday at Sen. Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire campaign office, Leeland Eisenberg had thought "all week long" about how to draw attention to mental health issues, and had pondered the idea of climbing on top of Rochester's city hall or going to the governor's office, he told CNN in an interview Wednesday. "I wanted to sacrifice myself for mental illness and bring about the discussion about mental illness," Eisenberg said at the Strafford County jail in Dover, N.H. Furthermore, he said, "I wanted the police to kill me," he said. Eisenberg is charged with four counts of kidnapping and single counts of criminal threatening and fraudulent use of a bomb-like device, according to the Strafford County Attorney Janice Rundles.

Dallas, I love you, but I've found Austin
You, Dallas taxpayer, not only own a small part of Crayton's restaurant in Exposition Park, but you also have an interest in several lawn-mowing businesses, a dry cleaner, a few other eateries, an automotive garage, an art gallery, a funeral home and other assorted enterprises scattered throughout the Fair Park area. And many of them, like Crayton's Restaurant and Bar, owe you a lot of money--about $350,000, give or take a couple of bucks, on recent loans that date back to 1997. City officials insist that isn't out of line with the small-business loan default rate at many commercial lending institutions. Then again, those places aren't lending taxpayer money--much of which will never, ever get paid back. Hell, some of those folks are out of business. Some can't even be found. In other words, Dallas taxpayer, your investments stink.
'Special Report' Panel on New Hampshire Election Results and Upcoming ...
The final run of exit polls was absolutely dead-on predicting how it came out. And furthermore, what do you say about Iowa? Iowa was a place just as white as New Hampshire, and Obama won there. What Obama represents is hope and change, but the public was not ready to anoint this guy. This is somebody we don't really know, the country doesn't really know him. He talks a wonderful game, but, as he said himself, you got to be tested. And this is part of the testing process. I don't know that that was conscious in people's minds. but that's the effect, and I think it's a good effect. BAIER: The next stop for Democrats is Nevada and then South Carolina. Let's take a real quick look at the Real Clear Politics average polls in South Carolina: Obama at 44 percent, Clinton at 31 percent.
Online bullying, suicide raise concerns for parents
Some things about teenage girls never change. At 13, my girlfriends and I passed notes to each other every single day, folded into small triangles with the recipient's name scrawled on the outside panel. Some of them could get pretty ''emo'' to use today's vernacular, but the truth is, we wrote to each other about boys most of the time. We wrote about boys we liked and boys we didn't like. We even wrote about boys we barely knew, just in case one of us heard something about them that just might be worth passing along (perhaps that one of them ''liked'' one of us, for example.)
Once in a while, we even wrote notes to boys. Without revealing too much, let me just say that over the past five years, I've emptied enough boys' pockets on laundry days to know that girls still write notes to boys, still folded into little triangles.
Follow-Up Exams Uncover More Iraq Vets With Emotional Woes
TUESDAY, Nov. 13 (HealthDay News) -- The number of Iraq war veterans needing mental-health care has risen sharply since the U.S. Defense Department began screening them a second time for emotional problems, U.S. military researchers reported Tuesday. Initial screenings of veterans uncovered 4.4 percent who needed treatment for problems such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But six months later, a second screening found 11.7 percent were in need of mental health care, indicating that it might take several months for emotional disorders to emerge, the study suggested. "We know mental health problems are a problem for soldiers who have been to war," said lead researcher Dr. Charles S. Milliken, of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research at the U.S.
Insulting British callers make operators sick
British callers may be infuriated when they discover that the company they are telephoning has moved its customer service centre to India. But their frustration is as nothing compared with the heart attacks, ulcers and insomnia afflicting those on the other end of the line. .
