of hostage situation at clinton's office ends

Peaceful end to Clinton standoff: Police have arrested a man who took several hostages at Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire, ending a lengthy siege. -

The man is identified as 47-year-old Lee Eisenberg from Somersworth. However in another report by Fox News, a woman mentioned the man's name was Troy Stanley. It was unclear whether Stanley and Eisenberg were the same person, and police wouldn't confirm whether Stanley was the assailant, or an alias used by him.

Eisenberg walked into the building and demanded to speak to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, claiming that he has a bomb strapped to his chest. The entire episode lasted 6 hours and no one was injured. Meanwhile, Sen Clinton has met up with those that were taken hostage.

If you’re not familiar with it, Apple has a 24 hour store on 59th and 5th ave in New York City. I decided to go there at 3am and buy my mac. During the day, the 5th ave store is packed. There are people buzzing everywhere, using the free internet, listening to music, playing with iPhones, etc. Lines to buy things are painfully long and just try to get a Genius Bar appointment. When I walked in at 3am, there was virtually nobody there (that was expected) and Apple employees outnumbered the people in the store.
