    By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - A Harvard University student who told investigators he had sent hoax e-mails claiming there were bombs planted around the school this week to get out of taking a final exam appeared in court on Wednesday to face criminal charges. The student, 20-year-old Eldo Kim, was brought handcuffed into U.S. District Court in Boston wearing Harvard sweatpants and a gray T-shirt. In a brief appearance, Kim spoke only to confirm to Magistrate Judge Judith Dein that he understood he has a right to remain silent and a right to an attorney. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin told the judge that prosecutors and Kim's legal representatives had begun "discussing alternatives to detention" for the student prior to the hearing.

    Devices running the Tizen operating system will be shown Feb. 23 in Barcelona, the day before Mobile World Congress opens there.Backers of the open source Tizen, which includes Samsung Electronics and Intel, sent out invitations by email Wednesday for the February event. The invitation does not say what types of devices will be shown, promising “an exclusive sneak preview of the newest Tizen devices as well as an opportunity to learn about the major milestones that the Tizen project has hit since last year’s event.”The first smartphones based on the Firefox OS and the Sailfish OS, which is developed by Finnish company Jolla, came out this year. The first Tizen smartphone was also supposed to be released, but has been delayed until next year, putting pressure on OS backers, especially Samsung, to show that Tizen remains a contender.”It’s pretty simple.

    (Reuters) - Individuals who select their health insurance plan on the exchanges set up under the national healthcare reform law by the December 23 deadline will have until January 10 to pay and still receive coverage as of January 1, 2014, the nation's largest organization of insurers said on Wednesday. Some insurers had already announced similar moves individually, but now plans selling insurance on either the state or federal exchanges will voluntarily honor the delayed payment schedule, America's Health Insurance Plans said in a statement. But some state-based exchanges said they are not adopting the timeline, which could create confusion for consumers who must pay insurers to be covered. Many individuals will receive government subsidies to help offset the cost of insurance sold on the exchanges, but they still must pay the balance.

    A lawyer for Detroit said in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday that the city might still pursue litigation over its interest-rate swap agreements, even though the city has maintained that the swap counterparties are secured creditors. Attorney Thomas Cullen of law firm Jones Day made the statement to defend the city's decision to claim attorney-client privilege over internal memos discussing the legality of the swaps. The city used the swaps contracts to hedge interest rate risk on some of the $1.4 billion of pension debt that Detroit sold in 2005 and 2006. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes, who is overseeing Detroit's historic bankruptcy case, pushed the city attorneys for information about the swaps deal.
