A Connecticut man serving multiple life sentences for several sexual assaults appeared remotely on Friday in a court in Prince George's County.
Prosecutors say Aaron Thomas was arraigned on first-degree rape charges and appeared in court via closed circuit TV.
Thomas has been dubbed the "East Coast Rapist" thanks to a series of sexual assaults over more than ten years from Rhode Island to Virginia.
In March, he was sentenced to multiple life terms in Virginia for crimes – including the rapes of teenage trick-or-treaters back in 2009.
The very same month, he was indicted for assaults in Prince George's County that took place between 1997 and 2001.
Thomas will have a status hearing on August 16 and will stay at the county detention center for the duration of the case.

Editor's note: Excerpts from TheStreet's interviews with Bill Erbey and billionaire investor Wilbur Ross are available as separate stories.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Soon after Bill Erbey and his wife Elaine moved last year to St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, they ran up a $2,000 electric bill. They turned down the air conditioning in an effort to cut costs and Erbey, who is 64 and overweight, sat around sweating.
"He lives a lifestyle that, if he lived for 2,000 years he couldn't spend his net worth," says Orin Kramer, general partner of hedge fund Boston Provident. "It's one of the things that makes someone comfortable as an investor, because he's always focused on the dark side."
Focusing on the dark side was, of course, a good thing to be doing ahead of the subprime housing crisis. It's one reason Erbey, who is the chairman of Ocwen Financial (OCN) and four other publicly-traded companies, has managed to quintuple his net worth to $2.3 billion over the past two years. Hedge fund manager John Paulson and economist Nouriel Roubini have probably gained more recognition than anyone else for having predicted the U.S. housing crisis, but when it comes to building businesses positioned to clean up the mess, Erbey may be the biggest success so far. He is arguably the leading figure in the rise of an industry known as non-bank mortgage servicing, which an Oppenheimer research report last month called "the next evolutionary step in mortgage finance," as big banks sharply scale back their involvement in the mortgage market.
'I Don't Ever Want to Be a Bank or a Thrift Again'Ocwen was created out of the Oxford Financial Group, a company founded by Barry Wish in 1983. Wish lured Erbey away from General Electric's (GE) GE Insurance unit to run the leveraged buyout business. One of Oxford's biggest acquisitions was a 1986 deal for Revere Copper & Brass, shortly after its emergence from bankruptcy. Oxford split up, however, and Erbey and Wish were left with a group of assets, the most promising of which were First Federal Savings Bank of Delaware and Investors Mortgage Insurance Co. These became the core of Ocwen. Its name, which comes from "Newco" spelled backwards, is a bit like Erbey: boring and clever at the same time.

ARLINGTON, Va. (May 17, 2013) - The American Psychiatric Association (APA) today announced the release of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The manual's publication marks an important milestone--revising the classifications and criteria of mental disorders for the first time since 1994 to reflect nearly two decades of scientific advances and clinical experience.
DSM-5 is the guidebook used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders in this country as well as around the world. The new edition is available first in print, with an electronic version to be offered later this year. Both versions, as well as supplementary publications from the DSM-5 Collection, can be ordered at http://www.psychiatry.org/dsm5.
"The changes to the manual will help clinicians more precisely identify mental disorders and improve diagnosis while maintaining the continuity of care," said David J. Kupfer, MD, chair of the DSM-5 Task Force. "We expect these changes to help clinicians better serve patients and to deepen our understanding of these disorders based on new research."
Organization of DSM-5
DSM-5 is different from its predecessors in fundamental ways. The revised chapter organization signals how disorders may relate to each other based on underlying vulnerabilities or symptom characteristics. It also breaks out some disorders because of greater understanding of their basic causes. As an example, the previous single chapter on "Anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder" now is three sequential chapters detailing Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, and Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. This move both emphasizes the distinctiveness of the categories covered while signaling their interconnectedness. (The table of contents for DSM-5 is included in Attachment A.)
Throughout the manual, disorders are framed in the context of age, gender, and cultural expectations. In fact, disorders now are organized along a developmental lifespan within each chapter; conditions first evident in childhood and adolescence are no longer set apart but integrated throughout the manual. And although DSM-5 includes several new categories--such as binge eating disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and hoarding disorder--the new manual will have approximately the same number of disorders as DSM-IV.
More Precise Diagnoses
Many of the changes in DSM-5 were adjustments made to better characterize disorder symptoms in terms of appearance, duration or severity. Certain conditions were combined because of the recognized overlap between some categories or, in the case of autism spectrum disorder, because the relationships among categories clearly placed them along a single continuum. In Section III, which is new to the manual, several conditions are introduced that warrant more research before they might be considered as formal disorders for the main book. Two such conditions-suicidal behavioral disorder and nonsuicidal self injury-reflect DSM-5's increased recognition of suicidal ideation and its related issues. Their inclusion in Section III should help to determine if they have clinical utility and their diagnostic criteria can be used reliably.
The Development Process
The product of the most comprehensive and transparent development process in APA history, the new book represents the strongest science and the contributions of more than 1,500 U.S. and international experts from a diversity of mental health and medical fields. Draft diagnostic criteria were made available online as part of three open-comment periods that drew more than 13,000 responses from consumers, advocates, mental health and medical professionals and organizations. Every response was reviewed and considered by the Task Force and DSM-5 Work Groups.
"When the APA set out to revise DSM, we wanted to facilitate the broadest participation possible to ensure we captured a diversity of opinions. We also wanted to strengthen the final manual for clinicians, patients and researchers," said Dilip Jeste, MD, president of APA. "We have achieved both goals and expect DSM to have immediate utility for clinicians and benefit for patients."
APA is looking to make future revision processes more responsive to breakthroughs in research with incremental updates until a new edition is required. Since the research base of mental disorders is evolving at different rates for different disorders, diagnostic guidelines will not be tied to a static publication date but rather to scientific advances.
More information on changes to DSM-5 and how to purchase the manual and other products from the DSM-5 Collection can be found at http://www.psychiatry.org/dsm5.

Mercury in CFL Bulbs: Is It Dangerous?
Lighting topics don't get much more exciting than the debate over the mercury content of compact fluorescents (CFLs). Those against the use of CFLs claim that the potential harm of toxic mercury contained within the energy-saving bulbs far outweighs any environmental benefits. On the other side, groups feel such rhetoric is overblown. But what are the facts?
Why Use Mercury in CFLs?
Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring element used in applications as varied as thermometers, dental fillings, and fluorescent lighting. The cathodes within a fluorescent tube produce electric current that passes through argon gas and mercury vapor. In turn, the mercury vapor emits ultraviolet light that excites the phosphor coating within the fluorescent tube, producing visible light [1]. The technology is the same for both linear fluorescent tubes (like those seen in office buildings) and self-ballasted compact fluorescents (the "spiral" bulbs used in homes). In short, without mercury, fluorescent lights will not work.
How Much Mercury is in a CFL?
The amount of mercury contained within a CFL varies, and in general, has decreased since their introduction nearly two decades ago. As of November 2010, the US EPA's Energy Star program concluded that the average amount of mercury within a screw-in CFL was 4 milligrams, comparable to the size of a ballpoint pen tip [2]. This pales in comparison to older thermometers, which contain as much as 500 mg [3] and even amalgam dental fillings, which contain about 100 mg of mercury [4].
Keep in mind, however, that the mercury contained in a CFL, thermometer, or dental filling can be present in these sources in two forms: A liquid, which is what we typically think of when we think of mercury, and a vapor that quickly dissipates. In the case of a broken CFL, the most likely form of exposure comes from inhaled mercury vapor. A paper in the August 2009 issue of the lighting journal LD+A found that the median amount of mercury vapor to which a person is exposed through a broken CFL is a tiny fraction of the total mercury contained within the bulb: Approximately 0.07 micrograms (0.0007 mg). On the other hand, a tuna fish sandwich, which contains the more hazardous methylmercury, is estimated to expose the consumer to more than 48 times that amount due to the more efficient method of consumption (literally eating the mercury) [5].
Who Regulates Mercury in CFLs?
Despite its relatively low concentration in CFLs, mercury is still a toxic substance. For this reason, the EPA requires that CFLs contain no more than 5 mg of mercury for consideration in their Energy Star program. The European Union and the State of California adopted even tougher regulations, requiring CFLs to contain no more than 2.5 mg of mercury by 2013 [6]. Manufacturers, however, have made the biggest strides. A 60-watt equal, warm white Neolite CFL by Litetronics, for example, uses only 1 mg of mercury, 80% less than Energy Star requirements [7]. Along with other major manufacturers, Sylvania voluntarily capped CFL mercury content at 4 mg, with the 13-watt DULUX EL 29409 containing only 1.5 mg [8].
The Answer?
So the question remains: Is the mercury in CFLs dangerous? It's not an easy question to answer. Mercury is a toxic substance, yet it is unlikely that fluorescent lighting would ever expose a person to an amount of the neurotoxin sufficient to cause physiological harm. Want proof of that? Despite putting themselves in a worst-case scenario fluorescent lighting mishap, to the best of our knowledge, these two guys are still alive and well:

When all the CF's start to fail, people will pop them into the trashcans, and then on to a landfill. Will the mercury in a million broken CF's be more harmful to our underground water supplies that the dab of lead solder used to complete a million incandescents?
Just Curious
Not all the bulbs are dangerous, not all the bulbs are safe. When people use the bulb, people can choose some brand one with quality guarantee. I have ever had a impressive memory. Four years ago, i bought two bulbs, but the two were so easy to blast, luckily, i was not injured. So after that, one is that i pay more attention on how to use the electricity, the other is that choosing quality bulbs.
I think it is also very important to inform people where they get their electricity when talking about mercury. Most electricity generated in the USA is coal fired, which releases mercury into the air. Using a CFL uses less electricity reducing the amount coal it takes to generate the same amount of lumens (light) as a standard incandescent. By using a CFL instead of an incandescent you are actually releasing less mercury into the environment.* If you recycle the CFL after it burns out then…BOOM …. you are making a huge difference…. Or you could just use LEDs
When you chose an Energy Star rated CFL or LED lamp you are going to get a quality lamp (bulb) with the best warranty out there!
Cheers : ) Nick Frisella

Love my new pipes & the sound is very nice. You will need someone to help install them. Not very hard, but the extra set of hands is good to have.

These pipes are very easy to install. They sound and look awesome.
marv.53 Posted:
Pipes looked good and sounded real good. Good low deep rumble without being to loud. They did not run as close to the bike a I like. The heat shields looked good but mounted with hose clamps. I bought these pipes to replace some Hard Krome 2.75" because the Hard Krome were to loud. The Cobra pipes sounded better but I put the Hard Krome back on because I liked the one peice pipe/heat shield and they run close in on the bike (Road Star). Also the Cobra pipes do not fit the hole in the exhaust port correctly. The pipe is to small to fit snug in the hole and are centered only by the flange bracket. I did not like this at all.

D-backs' Ian Kennedy drops appeal for 10-game suspension
"No," Kennedy said when asked if the ban was fair. "That's why I'm going through with the appealing process. Look at the history, my history and the history of first offenses of things that have happened in the past, that's why I'm going to go through the appealing process."
Well apparently after a few days of contemplation, the 28-year-old has had a change of heart according to the team's official Twitter account.
#Dbacks Ian Kennedy has dropped his appeal and will begin serving his 10-game suspension tonight.— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) June 18, 2013
With Kennedy beginning his 10-game suspension Monday night, he'll be eligible to return June 29 against the Atlanta Braves.
His 10-game ban was the harshest levied to a pitcher since the Kansas City Royals' Runelvys Hernandez in 2005.

Volume Pills™ has been formulated by a team of sexual health scientists and medical professionals to include a potent combination of 100% natural herbals, extracts, nutrients, and concentrates...
... Each ingredient was specifically chosen for its proven track-record of stimulating sexual activity, increasing semen volume and health in the testes.
In fact, while many of these ingredients have only recently been discovered by the modern medical community, they have been used for literally HUNDREDS of years by ancients cultures around the world to increase sexual satisfaction!
This proprietary herbal compound contains an ingredient that has been shown in numerous studies to improve sexual satisfaction and motivation. In one study by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (University of Science Malaysia) results showed a significant enhancement in the sexual qualities of middle-aged rats. The compound also contains L-Dopa, the precursor to dopamine, which is the pleasure-giving neurotransmitter in the brain.
One component in the Solidilin™ compound has shown in numerous animal studies to improve sexual motivation. In one study by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (University of Science Malaysia) results showed a significant enhancement in the sexual qualities of middle-aged rats.
The compound also contains L-Dopa, the precursor to dopamine, which is the pleasure-giving neurotransmitter in the brain.
Xi lan rou gui and Hong hua fen are both vasodilators, meaning they open up the blood vessels to encourage more blood flow. In other words, they can increase blood flow to the penis, causing an erection to occur. This expansion of the vascular spaces of the penis reduce blood outflow, thus sustaining the erection. In addition, Hong hua fen contains omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to reduce the chances of heart disease.
Along with acting as an incredible aid to those with diabetes and indigestion, Ku Gua has also been shown to reduce body fat thereby increasing body testosterone levels.
A high level of testosterone is essential to increased semen production and sexual desire. It's a fantastic source of Vitamin C and in studies in rats; it has been shown to promote antispermatogenesis. Additionally, Chinese researchers have found that it contains proteins which show promise in promoting anti-HIV activity.
4', 5, 7- Trihydroxyflavone is a citrus bioflavonoid used primarily in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Embilica officinalis is the world's richest source of Vitamin C. Bioflavonoids, such as 4', 5, 7- Trihydroxyflavone, are thought to work synergistically with Vitamin C in the maintenance of blood vessel health. This pairing works to keep your sexual organ healthy and functioning properly over the long term.
Used mainly in cardiovascular health, San guo mu is an important component of a healthy sexual lifestyle. Regulating blood pressure and heart rate, this herb works to pace the body, which has been seen to be an incredibly beneficial trait during sex.
This agent increases testosterone production, thus aiding tremendously in your enhancement efforts. In a study of mice given Dong Chong Xia Cao, plasma testosterone levels were significantly improved in both 3-day and 7-day trials. Testosterone is directly responsible for the development and maintenance of sex drive in males.
Zinc is very important in the metabolism of testosterone. Zinc, in the form of zinc gluconate, is more easily tolerated than other forms. Studies have shown Zinc supplements to be essential in replenishing Zinc levels absent in many modern diets. Zinc is also very important in increasing sexual vigor.
Ling Zhi is recorded to increase stamina and energy. Also boasting anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties, reishi is known to lift the mood and increase one's sense of spirit and vitality. The benefits of reishi translate perfectly to the bedroom.
Found in the South-Eastern part of India, Xian Mao is a safe and natural aphrodisiac used in Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese traditional medicine. It has been touted by some as a natural alternative to Viagra and is hailed for its many beneficial qualities.
Acting as a full system tonic, is know to aid males suffering from sexual debility and impotence. Overall, it has a calming affect on the body, stabilizing body weight, decreasing nervousness and promoting healthy sleep.
Drilizen is known to increase nitric oxide release, which prolongs erections through coronary vasodilatation. Nitric oxide also relaxes vascular smooth muscle via parasympathetic stimulation, which allows blood to flow to the penis and reach erection rapidly.
Drilizen contains a protein amino acid that is the precursor to nitric oxide in the body. Drilizen increases testosterone production, in that it also contains an active ingredient known as protodioscin. Protodioscin increases the secretion of luteinizing hormone (also known as interstitial cell-stimulating hormone.) This hormone, in turn regulates the secretion of testosterone from the Leydig (interstitial) cells in the testes.
A type of seaweed found on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, Fucus Vesiculosus promotes thyroid health and is also used in cases of high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, overweight, and exhaustion. A healthy thyroid streamlines the metabolism making it more efficient and effective. Healthy metabolism is an integral part of both penis enhancement and sexual health.
Don't wait... Place your order before Dec 22, 2014, and you'll qualify to choose one of five exciting savings packages that include FREE Bonus Gifts with purchase!
And remember... There's no risk in trying Volume Pills™ as it comes with a 67 day moneyback guarantee. You can use all of the product, and STILL send it back for a 100% refund of monies paid (minus shipping & handling) if you're not thrilled with the results.

Fighting Indifference, Remembering Injustice
This past Thursday we took a trip to the Nobel Institute Library as part of our Peace Scholar course. It was inspiring to sit in the room where so many Nobel Peace Laureates had been decided. Past recipients of the award looked down on us from the portraits that lined the small room. When looking over the photographs, I noticed many names that I knew very well. Nelson Mandela, Fridtjof Nansen, and the speakers from last year's Peace Prize Forum, Muhammad Yunus and Tawakkol Karman. For this blog, I would like to talk about one recipient whom I only recently became familiar with.
In my freshman year I took a literature and writing course, where we concentrated on materials that dealt with genocide. We read the inspiring story of Halima Bashir, a survivor of the Darfur conflict, in her book Tears of the Desert. But the story that hit me the hardest was "Night" by Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. Wiesel told of his experience in the Holocaust, where several members of his family died in concentration camps. But he survived, and has been educating people about peace and the horrible cost of indifference. What Mr. Weisel understands is that such atrocities don't need to happen; the international community can all too often stop them from escalating, but the political will simply isn't there. On the Nobel Peace Prize website, he is quoted as saying that "The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference" something which has been played demonstrated in conflict after conflict in which the developed world has neglected to intervene.
In addition to my thoughts on this laureate, I would also like to write about a very powerful experience that I had last week. Every week, the school provides a Norwegian movie for screening in one of their auditoriums. Last week the film was "Max Manus: Man of War," which follows the WWII experience of Norwegian resistance fighter Max Manus. The film is a powerful, unflinching look at the hardships and ugly realities of a war that scarred a country that hadn't been to war in over a hundred years. One of the most gut-wrenching scenes in the movie deals with the reprisal shooting of five Norwegian dock workers after the resistance group sinks several German ships in the Oslo harbor.
The next day I was wondering through the harbor district after class and decided to make my way up to Akershus fortress, a castle that has dominated the Oslo harbor since the 13th century. I've always loved history, in particular medieval buildings, so I was enjoying my walk through the compound when a simple stone monument caught my eye. It said "De kjempet de falt de gav oss alt" (They fought, they fell, they gave us all). It was a memorial to the resistance fighters killed during the war. It didn't take me long to realize that this was the exact spot that was portrayed during the execution scene in the movie. It was a moment that hammered home the terrible price of war, where so many lives are cut tragically short, often for the most trivial of reasons. This is why peace and dialogue studies are still vital, even in a world where conflict seems continual and inevitable.

A few new preset rooms ideas.
6 Years ago
Well, I'm about to eat my words, so-to-speak!
I am now a complete supporter of the pre-furnished room,
provided they are of rooms that would often be uniform in construction
Such possibilities would include:
A prison cell area -with multiple cells (six cells perhaps, with a corridor in the middle).
A storage/supply area -with shelving, sacks, barrels crates etc.
A cellar -with racks of casks against the walls
A smaller book depository/personal or hidden library.
A crypt area.
These areas could often be designed in a uniform fashion and in multiples to accommodate either bulk storage, or as part of a larger prison (or burial) complex.
Personally I would use these often
purchase them in multiples. These would make dungeon setups far easier and faster to achieve.
Thoughts, suggestions, other possibilities?
I'll stop ranting now, I think I've typed, read and figured enough for one day.

A few new preset rooms ideas.
6 Years ago
I mostly disagree, mainly for practical reasons.
First, though, I think you are mixing up construction and furnishings. Construction would be the size and layout of the room(s) -- furnishings are the things that go in them that define their purpose. Six small rooms on either side of a corridor cast as a single mega-piece could have multiple uses (prison cells, dormitory rooms, storage areas, etc), but if the function is defined in the casting itself (by putting manacles on the wall, for example) then the mega-piece is much less useful. Furnishings sold separately or packaged with the piece would allow those multiple uses to be realized.
A lot of what you've suggested can be realized with furnishings (new DF or existing off-brand). Barrels, crates, and sacks are easy to find. Shelves and racks are also easily found. Any of these furnishings (and many more) are much more useful if they can be put in any room, not as part of the actual casting of a particular room. Not only do you have the option of putting shelves (for example) in any position/configuration you like, you also have the option of putting them in any DF line you like. That rack of casks could go in a Fantasy MM cellar or an MBS cellar or even a DoE cellar. (Although I don't wanna know what's in the casks in a DoE cellar!)
Other things you are suggesting might be better realized as modular pieces. A Straight Wall with manacles would be great for prison celsl, as would a Straight Wall with stacked crypt slots (or whatever you call a grave in a wall). By incorporating these features into standard modular pieces, the builder has many more options, from using two rows of straight wall pieces as a wide hallway to incorporating them into a large open room.
The other idea that calls for a specialty piece is the six rooms with a corridor in the middle. However, I think a 4" or 6" corridor piece with openings on either side is a better alternative. As few as two Straight Wall and two Corner pieces can be used to add each room. Exisiting corridor pieces will give you the proper spacing for the rooms.
Practically speaking, a mega-piece might be more difficult to produce. The Ogre's Den was pretty much a simple rectangular room, with a solid rectangular block on one wall (the fireplace) and a couple of relief features on the floor. Putting multiple walls within the boundaries of the mega-piece might be more complicated, requiring a single complex mold or the assembly of several pieces from multiple molds.
A mega-piece may be equivalent to as much as an entire set, although it is more likely to be equivalent to about a quarter or half of a set. One to four static mega-pieces will never be as versatile as a modular set that can have any configuration the builder pleases.
A mega-piece is going to be more fragile than the modular pieces. When we drop a standard piece, its material strength is enough to withstand the momentum of the fall, even on a hard surface. A mega-piece could easily be more than ten times the weight of a standard piece, which is ten times the momentum. The same fall that didn't even chip a standard piece could break a mega-piece in half.
Some larger pieces might be nice, but for the most part they should simply be larger iterations of existing pieces and never more than the equivalent of four or six standard pieces. A 4"x4" corner (on an L-shaped base?), more 6" walls (with 4" floors?), perhaps some 4"x4" (or 6"x6") alcoves (floor and three walls), things like that.
I really think that modular pieces are far superior to static rooms.

These kind of pieces sound VERY useful!

Increase Reliability of BU Shuttle
We, the students of Boston University petition for the BU shuttle to have better service.
BU students struggle to get into the BU shuttle during peak hours. There are too many people using this service at the same time. It is frustrating to not be able to catch the BU shuttle due to lack of space. Also, safety is at risk because people tend to get aggressive as they push others and squeeze themselves in. Furthermore, the punctuality of the shuttle is inconsistent which cause students to be tardy for their classes.
We demand that Boston University improve the quality of this service.

Madia elegans
Don't pass up this native annual because it looks like a plain yellow daisy in the photo. It's not! First of all it's 3' tall and bushy. Second, its foliage and flowers are stongly pineapple scented! Third, it's 1.5" flowers pop out in mid-Summer when many of our native blooms are long gone. Attractive velvety leaves too. What's more – it self-sows reliably for new free plants every year.

The Swiss National Bank chairman has resigned abruptly, bowing to a public uproar over his private currency deals.
Philipp Hildebrand's decision comes just as a Swiss parliamentary committee is preparing to grill him behind closed doors.
His resignation took effect immediately on Monday, Switzerland's central bank said in a brief statement.
A short time later, Hildebrand called an impromputu press conference in the Swiss capital of Bern, where he emphasised that he was proud of his achievements at financial institutions in Switzerland and international organisations such as the World Bank.
"I would like to think I have been a damn good central banker," Hildebrand said.
"I personally advocated strongly and early for stricter capital requirements for the big banks. The policy of the central bank was a success in recent years."
For the past week, Switzerland has been awash with reports about public unease over the dollar swaps last year that earned Hildebrand and his wife, a former currency trader, tens of thousands of dollars in profits at the same time Hildebrand was working to lower the value of the soaring Swiss franc.
It was his second news conference in less than a week.
Breach of rules denied
Hildebrand first broke weeks of silence Thursday to deny any breach of central bank rules and announce he was donating the trades' profits to charity.
But questions remain about the propriety of the trading, and his departure came just before he was to face a Swiss parliamentary committee on Monday seeking answers about the deals he engaged in while leading efforts to soften the Swiss franc.
Hildebrand acknowledged the past few weeks have been "a difficult time".
Legislators on the Committees for Economic Affairs and Taxation were holding the confidential session to examine questions such as whether Hildebrand and his wife traded currency from accounts other than the one at Basel-based Bank Sarasin.
But Hildebrand said he was still appearing before the legislators.
Details of the Hildebrands' trading were leaked by an IT support employee at the bank, who was apparently concerned about the possibility of insider trading.
The Swiss National Bank had cleared Hildebrand of any wrongdoing in a report in late December.

Technical Data
LAT, phosphorylated (Tyr200) (Linker for Activation of T Cells, Linker for Activation of T cells Family Member 1, LAT1, 36kD Phospho-tyrosine Adapter Protein, p36,38, pp36)
LAT (linker for activation of T-cells) is involved in the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signal transduction pathway, and may play an important role downstream in activating protein tyrosine kinases (1). LAT is phosphorylated by ZAP-70/Syk protein tyrosine kinases leading to recruitment of multiple signaling molecules (2). It has been found that Tyr191 and Tyr171 (on the short isoform of LAT) are required for T-cell activation and Tyr132 is required for the activation of PLCgamma1 and Ras signaling pathways, respectively. Tyr226 and Tyr191 are required for Vav binding, whereas Tyr171 and Tyr132 are necessary for association and activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity and PLCgamma1. Tyr200 and Tyr220 on long isoform of LAT correspond to Tyr171 and Tyr191 on short isoform respectively (3).
Suitable for use in Immunocytochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:250
Western Blot: 1:5000-1:10,000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

HoopsHype John Wall rumors
"I'm one of the most complete point guards in the league," Wall, 24, said Tuesday after the Washington Wizards concluded their first training camp practice. "I rebound, I assist, play defense, steal, score. I don't get why I'm overlooked. I'm still trying to figure it out." Washington Post
"I thought I should've made the all-star team maybe four or five times," Miller said. "It's never happened just because it's a popularity contest. So I just find myself going out and working hard. And I think that's what he's done." Washington Post
Washington Wizards' point guard John Wall is joining the signature shoe club. Adidas unveiled the J Wall 1 signature shoe and apparel clothing line on Monday. Wall's logo with Adidas is his initials "JW" with the J crossing over through the W to celebrate his incredibly quick crossover dribble on the court. It also pays homage to his father, who passed away when Wall was just nine years old. From Adidas: CBSSports.com
John Wall: More Motivation, Love it... #wizsquad !! Twitter @John_Wall
The NBA leader in total assists this past season spoke with CSNwashington.com on Saturday at his charitable foundation's "Back2School" event for children in Washington. Asked if he was given a fair shot to make the final 12-player roster, Wall said, "Nah, I don't think so, but it's a part of the game. I'm just happy to have the opportunity to be there and represent my country. I wish them the best of luck and hope they can win gold." CSNWashington.com
"It was cool. It wasn't bad at all," Wall said of his left knee. "I got through the whole week. I thought I played pretty well. Things didn't go in my favor. But, we'll (get) past it." CSNWashington.com
Point guards Derrick Rose and Stephen Curry are considered Team USA roster locks. That left Wall, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving, who played at Duke under Krzyzewski, competing for 1-2 spots. As the odd man out, Wall now has a new source of motivation heading into the upcoming season. "Yeah, definitely, always. You want to make every team you try out for. When you don't, it's more motivation for me. "Not even (against) just those (Team USA point guards), but the NBA, period. I guess I'm overlooked again. I guess have to prove myself one more time." CSNWashington.com
More than a year after his split from Reebok, Wall has become of the one of the faces of Adidas and said last week that he will have a signature shoe line, complete with a personal logo, released in October. During his time in Las Vegas, Wall got to break in his new sneakers and even put on some of his personal shorts and shirts after removing his Nike-produced USA Basketball gear. Washington Post
Wall signed a five-year, $25 million deal with Reebok before he was drafted by the Wizards, but that relationship came to an end in the third year. With Wall's career stalled by injury and an unstable Wizards roster, the partnership with Reebok soured and he moved over to Adidas, which owns Reebok. The move took Wall from being the foundation of one brand into a situation where he had to prove his worth as a player to a company that already had a stable of established all-stars. Washington Post
Adrian Wojnarowski: USA Basketball cut Washington's John Wall, Bradley Beal and Atlanta's Paul Millsap today, sources told Yahoo Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Michael Lee: John Wall has bounced back from his Reebok days. Signature adidas line will come out in October. Here's the new logo http://t.co/ARu2sLv0y9 Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Durant, who has always professed his love for Oklahoma City but who admitted Tuesday at Team USA training camp that his future is uncertain, grew up 10 miles east of Washington D.C. in Seat Pleasant, Md. "It's not a bad (idea) at all," Wall told USA TODAY Sports about the idea of Durant eventually adopting James' homecoming strategy. "Two of the best guys in the East going head to head four times a year? It'd be pretty exciting. You just sit back and watch and see what happens, but (the Wizards' Durant-motivated moves) definitely lets him know that we want him around." USA Today Sports
Washington Wizards guard John Wall has been selected to the 2014-16 USA Basketball Men's National Team, USA Basketball announced today. Wall will join 18 other players, including teammate Bradley Beal, who have been selected for the 2014-2016 USA Men's National Team pool. The 2014 USA World Championship Team and, if the U.S. qualifies, the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team, will be selected from that pool. "I am honored to be invited back to participate with USA Basketball and to have the opportunity to represent my country," said Wall. "I am also proud that Bradley and I will be able to represent the Wizards organization together while competing for roster spots against our peers from around the league." NBA.com
Marc Stein: Just got word that the Wizards' John Wall WILL be in Team USA camp starting Monday in Las Vegas Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
The Wizards splurged on Martell Webster last summer in part because Fegan represents both Webster and John Wall, per several league sources. This is not an uncommon thing; the Cavaliers may soon experience it with Thompson. Grantland

Photo of the Week: A Better Banana in Kenya
February 01, 2013
Rosemary Muthomi sorts through bananas with an employee at her business, Meru Greens Horticulture.
Rosemary Muthomi (left) sorts through bananas with an employee at her business, Meru Greens Horticulture. Rosemary and her husband, Gerald, started Meru Greens in their central Kenyan community to give smallholder farmers an opportunity to sell their produce for a better price.
Beginning in 2004, TechnoServe helped Meru Greens identify a promising market opportunity for high-quality bananas. Our advisors showed the company's workers and suppliers techniques for producing bananas more efficiently and profitably. Meru Greens has thrived, more than doubling its purchases from smallholder farmers and growing its sales fivefold. Today, the company employs nearly 160 people and buys products from 4,300 farmers.

This starter kit has it all! The wildly popular V2 Vision Multi Wick Clearomizers paired with the variable voltage eGo-C Twist batteries in 650 and 1000 mAh provide fantastic vapor production and throat hit. Combine this excellent e-cigarette with the eGo case to securely store and go with all your vital e-cig accessories or the lanyard to safely wear your e-cig around your neck without losing or dropping it. This kit is great to share or even better to spoil the one who deserves the essential starter accessories!
The V2 Vision Clearomizers are simple to fill and use, and are virtually leak-free. The eGo-C Twist batteries are available in 3 colors and come in two different sizes to fit your mood or schedule. The variable voltage aspect of the batteries (3.2-4.8V) allows for excellent ability to customize the performance of your e-cig.
This kit contains:
1 x eGo-C 650 mAh Twist battery
1 x eGo-C 1000 mAh Twist battery
5 x V2 Vision Clearomizers, 1.8-2.0 Ω, for use at lower voltages up to about 4.2V
1 x Lanyard (Red has the Joyetech logo, the rest do not have logos)
1 x eGo Medium Carry Case
1 x USB Dongle or Mini USB charger
Begin by screwing the battery into the USB Dongle to charge. The first charge may take around 30 minutes; the light on the charger will turn from red to green when charging is complete.
Unscrew the black mouthpiece on the Vision V2 Clearomizer. Fill with e-liquid by slightly tilting the uncapped clearomizer to the side. Avoid the center metal post and fill with e-liquid nicotine to the 1.6 mL mark. Replace the mouthpiece, swirl the liquid around inside and allow it to sit for 2 minutes for the wicks to transport the liquid to the heating coil.
Turn the battery on by pushing the button 5 times within 2 seconds, the light will flash 3 times. Screw the filled Clearomizer onto the battery. Push the button on the battery as you slowly inhale.
Maintenance of your new e-cigarette system
Completely drain the battery before each charge. The batteries will blink when they are fully depleted. Unscrew the Vision Clearomizer and remove any liquid that may have collected on the top of the battery. Screw the battery into the USB Dongle and allow to charge, this may take around 2-3 hours.
Refill the Vision Clearomizer with e-liquid nicotine as needed.
The Vision Clearomizer will perform well for roughly 1-3 weeks depending on frequency of use. Over time it will decline in performance and will need to be replaced. Replacement V2 Vision Multi-Wick Clearomizers can be found at ElixirLiquid.com in the "Atomizers and Cartomizers" section under "Tanks and Accessories."
Please follow this link for replacement Clearomizers
Vision V2 Multi Wick Cartomizers
The upgraded, easy to fill Vision V2 multi-wick system with 8 long wicks has 510/eGo threading. Same structure, material, and smooth, clean vapor production as the original Vision clearomizers. These cartomizers are designed to prevent leaking and come with a customized screw on black drip tip.
Threading: 510/eGo
Resistance: 1.8-2.0 ohm
Filling Instructions
* Unscrew the drip tip from the clearomizer
* Fill 1.4-1.6 mL of Elixir e-liquid from the side, do not over-fill
* Do NOT pour the e-liquid into the airflow tube in the middle.
* Screw the drip tip back in.
* Please wait 1-2 minutes for the e-liquid to feed into the coil before vaping.
*Please note: This cartomizer should not be used with Cinnamon Death, Rage, Heaven & Hell, Sweetart, Ectoplasm, or Gummi Bear.
*No warranties / refunds / exchanges on cartomizers.
*It is recommended that you purchase a bottle of e-liquid nicotine with this kit. The clearomizers that come in this kit are EMPTY and need to be filled.
eGo-C Twist Batteries

Coach Spring 2012: Into the Archives
Yesterday afternoon, the majority of Lucky's team headed over to Coach's carriage house archives on Manhattan's West Side. We went with the intention of previewing the label's Spring 2012 accessories collection which, with its mix of classic woven-leather totes and colorful snakeskin-embossed clutches, was quintessentially Coach in every way. A smattering of Crayola-hued watches, some with transparent jelly-type straps, caught our eye as well—and at around $150 a pop, they'll make for fun gifts.
But the climax of our visit was something completely different. While scoping out next season's offerings, we were afforded a glimpse into the storied brand's history. Rows upon rows of satchels, trunks and multicolored coin pouches sat protected behind walls of glass around the entire warehouse—many of them artifacts from Bonnie Cashin's reign during the 1960s. I fell in love with a cross-body bag that closed with an elaborate golden clasp—one I've never spotted on a modern carryall—while John Jannuzzi eyed a pile of black-and-white patterned luggage. Meanwhile, Lauren Sherman flipped for some pint-sized lady bags in colorful shagreen (pictured below). Talk about a chic history lesson!

Even on the first play-through, this can get repetitive. While there's always the possibility that Funcom will allow us to skip Tortage altogether one day, perhaps introducing another city and storyline in a paid-for expansion, I'm not sure how likely that is.
And preventing players having even a modicum of choice is a mite silly - even the nine year-old EverQuest let players begin in more than one area.
Fight night
The most talked about element of AOC is its approach to combat. Unlike most MMOs, there are no automatic attacks, with the basic blows dealt by hitting hotkeys for left, overhead and right-side attacks with either melee or ranged weapons.
You choose the most effective one by watching the enemy's shields (see Protect your neckbeard box out), and drawing their defences to one side, letting you cause more damage by attacking the unprotected flank.
But you need to take care you don't fall victim to similar tactics. Melee becomes complicated when you add combos (see below), which are special attack routines engaged by hitting a hotkey.
This brings up a prompt-box that tells you to press a series of left, overhead or right (and at later levels, lower-left and lower-right) strikes to unleash the combo.
These are mostly par-for-the-course MMO skills and in practice can be a mixture of hilarious, visceral fun and unbelievable frustration, depending on how the user interface feels at the time.
The combo system is imperfect in that it depends on the floaty lag of a keyboard. You'll find you often break some three-button combos because there's a latency between key presses and the game registering them.
In the heat of battle you have to tap in combos slowly enough for the game to take them in, which really gets in the way of what should be a fast-paced experience.
This awkwardness isn't entirely noticeable until you get to the later levels and you have multiple combos to put together in a sequence, requiring you to play a game of Dance Dance Revolution with your 1, 2 and 3 keys.
While this is doable - if your fingers are fast enough - it fast becomes annoying enough that you'll tend to use simpler combos.
This is a valiant attempt to reinvent the wheel - and it almost works - but the combo system needs smoothing out. And as it existed throughout most of beta, I can't be sure when that will be.
Beyond The Island
Once you make it to 20 though, you're bundled onto a ship and out of the
loving embrace of noob-dom.
Gone are the voice-acted quest givers, replaced with distressing mutes with unmoving mouths, gesticulating in place of speaking.
This worrying shift to lifelessness sadly epitomises what the rest of AOC turns into - a drab disappointment.
While Tortage has had much love poured into it, the subsequent hub zones feel barren, the map barely helps you find your way around and quest-givers, and vendors and traders (AOC's guild banks and auction houses) are placed awkwardly and sporadically.
Once you're through the first non-Tortage quests and receive the one pointing you towards the nearest grind zone, you talk to an NPC and get magically teleported to a hub full of yet more quest givers and, inevitably, peril.
This is where AOC finishes transforming from story-based action MMO to an utterly monotonous experience. While it's not an entirely unenjoyable slog, cracks in Funcom's work begin to show.
Quests predominantly involve either collecting objects, killing 20 or so of a particular animal or bandit, or taking down a particularly nasty individual creature to receive some kind of remuneration at the end.
Sure, this is much the same as WOW - but there's far less impetus here than in its rival grind-'em-up.
Occasionally - and we're talking in the space of every five or so levels - a number of quests will point you obviously in the direction of one of AOC's dungeons.
