What we expect from Microsoft and Nokia today
51 min.
Microsoft and Nokia are holding a joint?press event at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT today. We'll be there to cover the news live, but in the meantime, here's a rundown of what we expect from the two companies today.
Windows Phone 8. Windows Phone 8. Windows Phone 8. There's little else that today's event could revolve around other than the latest version of Microsoft's mobile operating system. If the rumors are true, Nokia will unveil two?new Lumia handsets. (The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, it is assumed.)
According to the Verge's Tom Warren, multiple sourcees claim that the Lumia 820 will be a 4.3-inch device with 8GB of storage, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and?1GB of RAM.?The Lumia 920, the Lumia 820's somewhat bigger brother, will supposedly offer 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, and a 1.5GHz processor. It should be a 4.5-inch device, if rumors are true, and include an 8-megapixel camera in the back and a 1.5-megapixel camera in the back.
Both devices are expected to offer a wireless charging capability. The Lumia 920 should have all the parts required for this feature built in, while the Lumia 820 will require a special back cover to enable them.
That's what we know (or think we know) for now. Check back right here for more details and updates as the Nokia/Microsoft event kicks off.

What Roof Types to Consider in a Connecticut Home
Connecticut is host to a wide range of seasons. Sweltering summers and freezing winters make for an extreme Connecticut climate. But thankfully, Connecticut homes are built like bunkers; and the elements are no match against such durable shelters.
But durability is dependent on the materials used, as some materials simply work better than others. Of all the parts of home construction, roofs are the most demanding when it comes to materials. Not only should roofs be durable, but they should be able to withstand the extremes of rain and shine, or snow and hail, for a long time. Faced with Connecticut's extreme weather conditions, a good roof should not only look pretty on a house. it should be fully functional as well in protecting the entire structure and its occupants.
There are different roof types and styles to suit your needs and preference. One only has to be mindful of what weather conditions the roof will face year after year. Since Connecticut straddles two climate regions--one continental, and the other subtropical--building accordingly to these conditions will improve a CT home's protection.
The roofing Connecticut residents need has to address the heavy snowfall the northern portions of the state are known for. Roofs made of composite material or slate and built in the shape of the sloping, Gambrel or Mansard style will not only allow for easier cleaning of the snow, but are typically balanced models that can withstand the hot summers as well. Warmth and insulation from these coverings are a big plus.
On the other hand, roofing Connecticut homes along the coastline should use materials that can deflect much of the sun's heat away, like the appropriately-named cool roofs. The roof's shape can be a simple hip or gable design, as long as upkeep of the roof is facilitated. To keep heat away from the rest of the house, CT homeowners should also consider investing in good insulation.
Roofing contractors CT homeowners engage need to work closely with architects to produce houses that are not only beautiful, but robust. Having a palatial home would be to no avail if the unforgiving Connecticut weather has perforated its roof like a slice of Swiss cheese.

Our ignorance of learning disabilities | Special Ed Advocate ? Houston
Raising the achievement of students with learning disabilities is hard, expensive, controversial and complex. School systems must pay private school tuition for students they can?t adequately serve. Educators and parents sometimes disagree on what methods to use. Education writers like me rarely deal with the subject because it is difficult to explain and lacks many success stories.
That explains in part why learning disabilities are so poorly understood, as revealed by a remarkable survey just released by the nonprofit National Center for Learning Disabilities. The representative sampling of 2,000 Americans provides a rare look at the depths of our ignorance.
Forty-three percent believe that learning disabilities correlate with IQ. Fifty-five percent think that corrective eyewear can treat certain learning disabilities. Twenty-two percent believe that learning disabilities can be caused by spending too much time watching computer or television screens. All of those impressions are wrong.
Other mistaken views include the 31 percent of survey respondents who think learning disabilities are caused by poor diet, the 24 percent who blame childhood vaccinations and the more than a third who think those disabilities are caused by poor parenting or teaching in early childhood.
That so many of us know so little is a shame, although the survey shows that at least one disability is familiar to most people. The survey found that 90 percent of Americans know that dyslexia is a learning disability, and 80 percent can accurately define it. This may be because so many of us know someone whose reading difficulties have been blamed on dyslexia, or have seen the many television shows dramatizing that disability.
Even though we have not educated ourselves well on what learning disabilities entail, we have been spending increasing amounts of our tax dollars to deal with them. One study by Richard Rothstein and Karen Hawley Miles of the Economic Policy Institute found that from 1967 to 1991 in nine school districts, money poured in to help students with disabilities. Per pupil spending increased by 73 percent during that period, but only a fourth of the increase went to regular education. The portion of all spending designated for special education in those districts went from four to 17 percent.
Several federal laws, highlighted by the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, gave new rights to adults and children with disabilities. The national center?s survey shows many of us are still not familiar with them. One third of respondents said hiring officials are allowed to ask job candidates if they have learning disabilities, which is against the law.
Inappropriate humor also lives on. Thirty percent of those surveyed confessed to making jokes about learning disabilities when someone makes a reading, writing or math mistake.
Insensitivity and ignorance about disabilities in schools is evident. The survey found that 34 percent of Americans believe that students with learning disabilities interfere with the ability of other children in class to learn. Forty-five percent of parents of children with disabilities said their children have been bullied in the past year.
In my experience, parents of children with disabilities read everything they can find that might help improve their kids? educations. Every time I write about special education I get unusual numbers of e-mails from them, sharing their own experiences and research. Sixty-four percent of parents in general said in the survey that their child?s school doesn?t provide information on learning disabilities.
?Better-informed parents will recognize markers earlier and become more effective advocates for their children,? said James H. Wendorf, executive director of the national center. The center?s Web site has much to offer, but it would also be good if I covered this difficult issue better than I do, and if we all admitted how much we need to learn about what keeps certain children from learning.

Cambodia considers Swedish request on Pirate Bay co-founder
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian authorities have arrested a co-founder of Pirate Bay, one of the world's biggest free file-sharing websites, and are considering a request from Sweden to send him there where he faces a jail sentence for breaching copyright laws.
The Swedish man, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, 27, has been living in Cambodia for some time.
An appeals court in Sweden sentenced three others behind the site to between four months and 10 months in prison plus fines in 2010.
Warg failed to attend that hearing due to illness and his sentencing was deferred. He had originally been sentenced to a year in prison in 2009.
"We had a request from Sweden to make an arrest as he had committed cyber crime there," police spokesman Kirth Chantharith told Reuters.
"We don't have an extradition treaty with Sweden but there are other ways to do it," he added, without elaborating. Cambodian authorities were waiting for legal documents from Sweden, he said.
A Cambodian website, Khmer440.com, which originally reported Warg's arrest, said he had been living in Phnom Penh for four years.
Swedish subsidiaries of prominent music and film companies had taken Pirate Bay to court claiming damages for lost revenue. Mainstream media firms have also taken steps in other countries to have it blocked.
Pirate Bay, launched in 2003, provides links to other sites where people can download music and films for free.
The group that controls it says no copyrighted material is stored on its servers and no exchange of files actually takes place there so it cannot be held responsible for what material is being exchanged.
