Tactus Technology prototype Android tablet shows off shapeshifting screen at SID 2012 (video)

Typing with thumbs on glass can often prove to be as fruitful as talking to an actual wall. That is to say, both are an exercise in frustration. Yet, with smartphone adoption continuing to climb, that method of touchscreen input is only going to become more pervasive. Good thing, then, that companies like Tactus Technology are working on a scifi-seeming haptic solution that should catapult the wireless industry into true innovation and bring back some much needed tactile feedback. To spur this, the company's crafted a prototype Android slate in conjunction with Touch Revolution, shown off at this week's SID 2012, that shapeshifts from flatscreen to physical button layout and back as needed. The screen, which would reportedly add no extra thickness to future tablet or phone displays, makes use of microfluidic tech to make those disappearing UIs possible. So, forget about quad-cores and the 2GB RAM spec race, this is where those next-gen flagships ought to be headed. Click on past the break to marvel at a demo of this dynamic interface in action.

It's been a difficult time for President Barack Obama to stay on message.

The Wisconsin recall election on Tuesday didn't go the way Democrats hoped and lately Obama's economic theme has gotten blurred ? and not just by Republicans.

First, former President Bill Clinton suggested that broad tax cuts expiring in January should be temporarily renewed, including for the wealthiest Americans. That appeared to undercut Obama's steadfast calls for ending them for households earning over $250,000 a year.

Clinton also said in a CNBC interview that tax revenues were low and spending seemed high "because there's a recession."

The recession officially ended three years ago. And Obama emphasizes it's been growing since then, if slowly.

Former top Obama economic adviser Lawrence Summers seemed to add fuel to the fire by saying the U.S. should avoid any moves that would stall the fragile recovery.

"The real risk to this economy is on the side of slowdown...and that means we've got to make sure that we don't take gasoline out of the tank at the end of this year," he told MSNBC. "That's got to be the top priority."

Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna later issued a clarification saying Clinton believed any full tax-cut extension should be short-lived and that he also meant "there was a recession and we're still living with the aftermath of it."

And Summers, treasury secretary under Clinton, didn't specifically call for extending tax cuts for the wealthy, saying they should pay their fair share.

But, the comments ? along with Clinton's earlier but later amended praise of Republican Mitt Romney's business resume ? could complicate Obama's efforts to keep control of his economic agenda.

Obama headed Wednesday for San Francisco for two days of California fundraising. Romney campaigned in San Antonio, Texas.

Elderly Italian arrested over deadly school bomb

Antonio Calanni / AP

The coffin containing the remains of Melissa Bassi, killed by a bomb in Brindisi, Italy, on May 19, is carried at her funeral two days after the blast..

By Reuters and msnbc.com staff

ROME - Italian police took a 68-year-old man into custody?on Wednesday in connection with last month's bombing near a school that killed a 16-year-old girl and wounded 10 others, local media reported Thursday.

Investigators initially suggested a mafia group was responsible for the May 19 bomb that was detonated in Brindisi, a port city in southern Italy.

---

After several hours of questioning in the southern city of Lecce, the man allegedly confessed to building and planting the bomb, Italian media reported.

The man, whose motive was described as a "personal" vendetta and not terrorism, is married and has two children,?according to local reports.

Television news channel Sky Italia named the suspect as Giovanni Vantaggiato, an agricultural fuel depot owner from nearby Cupertino, adding that police and prosecutors were still working to verify details in his apparent admission.

The investigation into the bombing made "an important and definitive breakthrough" Wednesday, the head of the police force, Antonio Manganelli, told Reuters after news of a possible confession was reported.

Vataggiato?s apparent motive was described in Italian newspaper La Repubblica?[linked site in Italian] as anger over personal debt.

Reuters and msnbc.com staff contributed to this report.

DC Council chair resigns after bank fraud charge

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The District of Columbia Council chairman resigned Wednesday evening after being charged in federal court with lying about his income on bank loan applications.

The bank fraud charge against Kwame R. Brown, one of the most influential power brokers in the D.C. government, is part of a long-running federal investigation. It marks the latest allegation of criminal wrongdoing to roil local politics in the nation's capital.

The charge ensures further shakeup on the council, which lost another councilmember to a corruption conviction earlier this year, and comes as federal authorities continue investigating the 2010 campaign of Mayor Vincent Gray.

Brown submitted his resignation letter after revealing his plans to fellow councilmembers in a closed-door meeting. A special council meeting is scheduled for June 13 to select a new interim chair.

"I have made some very serious mistakes in judgment for which I will take full responsibility," Brown wrote in a letter Wednesday to the Council secretary, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. He added later, "I have behaved in ways that I should not have. I was wrong, and I will face the consequences of that conduct."

Brown, 41, is charged with a single count of bank fraud, accused of overstating his income by tens of thousands of dollars on applications submitted for a home equity loan and for a boat. He was charged via criminal information, a document that generally signals a defendant has agreed to plead guilty. A plea hearing is set for Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington.

Federal bank fraud carries up to 30 years in prison, but Brown is expected to receive a far lighter punishment.

He declined to answer questions or comment on the case following a meeting with councilmembers, but said he would make a statement Thursday. Brown's lawyer, Frederick Cooke, declined comment, and the U.S. Attorney's office said it would have no comment.

"I'm shocked by the news; I am disappointed and saddened," Gray, who preceded Brown as council chairman, said of the charge in a written statement. He added, "I served with him my entire time on the Council. Never would I have imagined something like this would occur."

Federal authorities had also been investigating Brown for alleged financial improprieties in his 2008 campaign, but Wednesday's charge is unrelated to the campaign and focuses solely on his personal financial dealings.

Brown also stumbled early on as chairman, when it was revealed that he was leasing a fully loaded Lincoln Navigator SUV that he had specifically requested and that cost the city nearly $2,000 a month. His staff had already rejected one SUV because it didn't have the interior he wanted. A report from a fellow councilmember found that Brown had "inappropriately requested" the SUV and that city officials had broken the law by leasing it to him. He returned the vehicle to the city.

Political consultant Tom Lindenfeld, who is friends with Brown, said the criminal charge did nothing to clean up perceived municipal corruption since it dealt with Brown's personal, rather than public, life.

"I think that if we're going to take people who have been arrested out of office, it should (be for) public corruption, and I don't see it here," he said.

Either way, the charge and Brown's resignation create further turmoil in D.C. politics.

It comes six months after then-Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $350,000 in government funds earmarked for youth sports and arts programs. He resigned and was sentenced to more than three years in prison. Thomas was replaced on the council in a special election last month.

Two former Gray campaign aides pleaded guilty in a separate investigation last month to charges stemming from illicit payments made to encourage a minor candidate in the 2010 race to lambast then-incumbent Adrian Fenty, who was seeking re-election. One aide, Howard Brooks, admitted lying to the FBI about the payments while the other, Thomas Gore, admitted funneling the money and destroying evidence of the transactions. Gray has denied wrongdoing.

The D.C. Council is an unusual governmental body, functioning as both a municipal board and a state legislature. Its 13 members vote on legislation and a multi-billion-dollar budget that touches all corners of city life. The chairman has special powers as well, doling out committee assignments, convening meetings, overseeing the budget process and introducing legislation at the mayor's behest.

Under D.C. regulations, the Board of Elections is to certify the seat as vacant within five working days of receiving notice of Brown's resignation. An interim council chairman will be selected from among four at-large councilmembers at a meeting scheduled for June 13. A special election to replace Brown on the council would likely take place this fall.

D.C. Councilmember Jim Graham, speaking before the council meeting, said the charge ends what had been a period of uncertainty.

"It's an opportunity for real change," he said, adding that he was hopeful about the future.

"I believe, though, optimistically, that we have the resources within the council, within this government, to pull out of this and to reach a point ... where something positive is going to happen," he said

Brown, a native Washingtonian who says he'd worked to revitalize neighborhoods and strengthen environmental laws, was elected to the council in 2004 and ascended to chairman in January 2011, after Gray became mayor.

French and English Tuition in London with an Experienced Tutor

June 3rd, 2012

I am a tutor of French and English as a foreign language. I did a degree in French and then a PGCE in order to teach French in secondary schools. I taught at a school for one year but realised that I preferred teaching privately on a one-to-one basis. I taught languages in France in 2007, using my French skills to teach high school pupils with my own lesson plans and materials. I taught English for St Giles in Oxford in 2010, teaching students of mixed nationality. Since moving back to London I have found students through an agency called?French tuition London. I have also tutored pupils preparing for their French GCSE. Lessons are planned around the needs of the learner, whether preparing for exams or learning for fun. My approach is interactive; I guide the learner through exercises and explanations, and encourage them to find answers and solutions for themselves. Lessons are always focussed on an aspect of language

Most Oregon banks earn profit in 2012 1st-quarter | Business - KVAL

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Oregon banks that survived the 2008 financial crisis are mostly profitable again, with 25 of 29 state-chartered banks making money during the first quarter of 2012.
???
"We are guardedly optimistic that we are seeing improvements in the banking industry overall," said David Tatman, administrator for the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities, which regulates the state's banks. "What we're seeing in banks reflects the economy. The economy is improving quite slowly and banks are improving fairly slowly."

The Oregonian reports money set aside as protection against loan losses is at the lowest level in two years and banks have higher levels of capital on hand relative to their assets. Capital gives banks a cushion if loans falter.
???
Optimism could change again if the recovery stalls, according to analysts, and concern remains about banks' exposure to commercial loans.
???
The state's financial institutions say they are healthier than they've been in a while.
???
"We'd love to see more small-business customers to take loans now, because we've got a lot of money to loan," said Neil D. Grossnicklaus, president of Willamette Valley Bank in Salem. "The economy continues to improve, but it's just a very slow go."
???
Bank deposits between 2007 and 2011 in Oregon grew by $12.5 billion, or 23 percent, according to the FDIC, and Bank of America, Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank accounted for $8.5 billion.
???
Oregon had 36 state-chartered banks in 2006. That number is now down to 29. Banks that closed were mostly small in comparison and operated in largely rural areas.
???
Some banks remain under regulatory order to shore up finances and could use investor money.
???
Portland's Albina Community Bancorp. reported a small profit last year after two years of multimillion-dollar losses but is threatened by its loan portfolio. Roughly $1 of every $9 that it loaned is in questionable repayment status on real estate, commercial and construction loans.
???
Others under state enforcement orders to shore up finances include Merchants Bancorp in Gresham, Pacific West Bank in West Linn, PremierWest Bancorp in Medford, Oregon Pacific Bancorp in Florence, Northwest Bank in Lake Oswego, Columbia Community Bank in Hillsboro and Bank of the Cascades.

Home Staging Still Raging | Nolo's Real Estate Tips for Home ...

Plenty of ink has been spilled over the topic of how home staging can help you sell a house. Yet every new seller no doubt goes through a similar process of doubting whether it?s worth the several-thousand-dollars price tag: ?Sure, everyone else?s house could benefit by staging, but mine looks fine as it is, right??

If you?re a seller going through that mental process right now, a good article to read is Andrea Pflaumer?s ?Setting the Stage? in the latest edition of the East Bay Monthly. Pflaumer starts with a bang, citing a Berkeley, CA real estate agent who believes that her sale of a house for $250,000 over the asking price could be credited, in large part, to good staging.

The article goes on to point out things that sellers are often blind to ? worn carpets and tile grout, overgrown plants, and dated light fixtures. At a more subtle level, ?If the owners? imprint is too obvious, would-be buyers feel as though they?re invading someone?s privacy rather than envisioning the home as their own.?

Taking out a loan could be a bad idea. Is the chance worth taking if it means jeopardizing your relationship? Losing your house could be a possibility if you use it as collateral.

Keep looking to the future. Celebrating past successes is important, but they are in the past. You should be focusing on what will happen tomorrow or even next week. These things will prepare you for newer opportunities and future obstacles. In this way, you will not find yourself surprised.

Sit down and work out a schedule. To avoid doing too much work and getting burned out, distinguish times when you?re specifically going to work.

The name you pick may have an interesting or unique story associated with it. This can help you and your brand become something that customers can come to appreciate and support for years to come.

Your home business should have its own checking account, entirely separate from your personal accounts.
