Magellan has struggled a bit in the U.S. GPS market recent years, but not because of anything wrong with the company's products. It's thanks to the dominance of Garmin and TomTom. The new Magellan SmartGPS ($249 direct) represents a complete rethink of how a GPS device is designed, and how it's used on a daily basis. The idea is to link your smartphone with the SmartGPS to access real-time content, and so that all of your settings, destinations, and other preferences are stored in the cloud. It's an intriguing concept, but given the execution, for most people, it'll be more trouble than it's worth.
Design
For this review, Magellan supplied us with a SmartGPS device and an Apple iPhone 4 with the free SmartGPS software preloaded. Companion apps are available for both iOS and Android devices, but not Windows Phone 8 or BlackBerry 10. Measuring 3.6 by 6.3 by 0.5 inches (HWD), the and 7.5-ounce SmartGPS is a little big compared with its competitors. The top edge contains a Power button, while a capacitive Home button sits on the top left corner of the display. On the bottom edge, there are microSD, 3.5mm audio output, and A/V input ports, along with a combination micro USB charging and dock connector in the center. The back panel is diamond-textured plastic, and has a single oversized mono speaker.
The 5-inch glass capacitive screen features 800-by-480-pixel resolution. It's bright, sharp, and colorful, and responds quickly to finger taps, which isn't something I can say about a lot of PNDs on the market.?The biggest issue is the oversize bezel; competing devices with 5-inch screens are significantly smaller, thanks to their thinner bezels. The SmartGPS is large enough that it blocked a significant portion of the windshield in the Honda Insight I drove during the review period?enough to make it difficult to make left turns with the unit positioned near the driver's side A-pillar.
Hardware, Setup, Connected Services, and POI Search
The connected services break down into several key functions. Localized Yelp and Foursquare content is pushed to the SmartGPS's screen in real time. Cloud-based content like fuel prices and weather forecasts are also delivered. You can search for points of interest (POIs), Yelp reviews, and Foursquare locations from your smartphone display, and then send the results to the GPS on the windshield immediately. What Magellan wants to accomplish is to let you use the appropriate device at the appropriate time: Your smartphone when you're holding it and searching for something, and the SmartGPS when you need navigation help behind the wheel.
On board is a 1GHz processor, 4GB of storage, and the SmartGPS is running what appears to be a customized version of Android, judging by the look and option layout of the Browser settings pages. The connected OS and integrated Wi-Fi mean that the device can receive over-the-air firmware and OS updates, so you don't have to bring the unit inside and connect it to your computer with a USB cable.
So how does this all work in action? It's certainly different than the way most portable navigation devices operate, including all of Magellan's earlier efforts, such as the older RoadMate 9055 and last year's budget-priced RoadMate 5230T-LM. Unfortunately, it's also overly complicated.
You have to install the app on your phone, set up an account on a desktop or laptop PC at www.magellangps.com, pair the phone with the SmartGPS, enter your home Wi-Fi network in the SmartGPS settings page (for data updates), and make sure everything is up and running and communicating properly. This process took me about 20 minutes, and it was a while longer before the SmartGPS home screen's live tiles started updating on their own. You can skip all of this and still use the SmartGPS, although it won't be "smart;" it will just function like any other non-connected GPS.
The SmartGPS's home screen is unusually complex, with a cluttered view that splits between the 3D map, a pair of live tiles, and top and bottom toolbars. You can also finger swipe to the right and see more live tiles, all of which are customizable. You can bring up weather, nearby gas stations, and other information in some of the other tiles. For navigating to destinations, you can input addresses or run POI searches via several different methods, and the POI search categories are helpfully broken into useful sublevels, such as the kind of food you want and the kind of shopping you're planning on doing.?
That said, it's tough to navigate the various menus; each screen seems to have its own button layout. For example, some have Back buttons, others let you go backward by tapping a button named after the prior page ("Settings"), and still others have no way of navigating backward at all; you have to tap the Home icon and start over if you want to try a different selection.
Performance and Conclusions
Once on the road, the SmartGPS works a lot more like the company's earlier models, aside from the split screen view. The map animates smoothly, though not as nicely as the Garmin n?vi 3597LMTHD. The SmartGPS displays the current road's speed limit, and the font turns red when you're actually exceeding it by a set number of miles per hour. The Yelp live tiles started recommending nearby restaurants that are highly rated, along with special deals; helpful, but it was a little weird if a restaurant listed as two miles away is in Queens and I'm in Manhattan.
You can disable the split screen view by swiping left, which brings up a full map view that's closer to what you see on other GPS devices. Great, except that the view lacks almost all information except about the next turn ahead and the current time. Tap the clock, and most of the missing information will pop up: ETA, current speed, elevation, and so on. But then the pop-up hides again automatically after five seconds, which seems silly. Older Magellan RoadMates did this too, but at least their main views were informative enough; to see enough information for casual navigation with the SmartGPS, you need to use its cluttered split-screen view, which is unfortunate.
Otherwise, routing performance was fine, although not spectacular; it still didn't know the best ways through Manhattan and Queens in several cases, and I ended up overriding it. On the audio side, voice prompts sounded full and clear. The SmartGPS employs natural language when possible, such as "turn left at the gas station," or "turn right next to the school," instead of "turn left at 21st street." A red light camera alert popped up as I crossed 34th street in Manhattan, which is always helpful (don't accelerate if the light turns yellow!).
Real-time traffic services worked about as expected during the review, but as with all devices of this type, you only get traffic information for highways and interstates; secondary roads and city streets are largely left out. There are plenty of settings you can change, such as the kinds of routes you want to take, the POIs that appear on the map, and so on, but nothing that cleans up the interface to an acceptable level.
Overall, the Magellan SmartGPS forces you to jump through lots of hoops for a dubious payoff. For all of the bluster surrounding its cloud-based ecosystem, it doesn't actually do a whole lot, aside from delivering updated Yelp, Foursquare, and weather information. It's a solid navigation device, and it's a great way to get a capacitive glass screen on the cheap; that alone could make purchasing it worth it.
Still, there are better options. Our Editors' Choice remains the?Garmin n?vi 3597LMTHD for its more detailed views, much simpler and cohesive interface, smaller size despite the same 5-inch display, and useful magnetic mount, even if it's $130 more expensive and lacks the SmartGPS's connected services. If you want to spend the same $250, the?Garmin n?vi 2597LMT steps down to a plastic resistive screen with lower resolution, but it's still much easier to use than the SmartGPS. The TomTom VIA 1605TM is another solid option, as it's $20 less expensive and offers a larger 6-inch screen, although it's also plastic resistive and not glass capacitive like the SmartGPS.

States, not Congress, are taking the lead on climate change laws ? from a new cap-and-trade program in California to widespread adoption of renewable electricity standards. Moves to weaken those standards aren't gaining traction in state capitals. ? ??
Wind turbines of the Smoky Hill Wind Farm dot the countryside near Ellsworth, Kan. Kansas legislators rejected an effort to weaken a state policy that requires utilities to generate 20 percent of their electricity from wind and other renewable resources by 2020.

EnlargeDespite the evident risks of climate change ? from sea-level rise and coastal flooding to crippling drought ? Congress has been slow to respond.? Fortunately, states have given us reason for optimism by taking the lead on reducing heat-trapping emissions from fossil fuels.

California, for instance, just launched its cap-and-trade system for reducing global warming pollution. The program was passed under a Republican governor and is being implemented by a Democratic one. The state also has the country?s most ambitious renewable electricity standard, which requires utilities to provide 33 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
Such renewable electricity standards are now commonplace: 29 states and the District of Columbia have them. These standards, which were often adopted on?a bipartisan basis, have been crucial for making renewables?the leading source of new US electricity generating capacity in 2012.
The?standards are also consumer-friendly. For example, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that as utilities in 14 states complied with renewable electricity standards, they increased rates just?1.5 percent?or less. In Minnesota, Xcel Energy ? the state?s largest utility ? reported that renewable energy investments actually?lowered prices in 2008 and 2009 by 0.7 percent.
Anyone tried the Proladox Diet Plan (google it)? I? have heard many incredible things about it and my buddy lost lots of weight with it.
Guys, burn fat doesn?t need to be difficult (I used to feel it did). I?ll give you some advice right now. Look for a diet plan called Proladox Diet Plan (do a search on google). Seriously, that course has transformed my entire life. I probably shouldn?t even be talking about it because I don?t want a? bunch of other folks out there running the same ?game? but whatever, I?m in a good mood today so I will share the wealth haha.
any of the primates we may have evolved from didn?t really eat starches, most apes/animals similar to the average of them can?t even digest the ?gluten free? well less glutenous grains. So really humans consuming dairy into adulthood, is something our predecessors didn?t do. Humans consuming grains is something prehumans, primates and? apes have never done. We were never naturally meant to or genetically programed to do, so were to eat and adapt to grains because of the growing population.
Wheat we already had problems with, wheat,spelt,kumat,teff,rye and barley, 60% of Caucasians can?t digest, 80% of Africans, Europeans giving rye to the natives gave them disease, at least half of the Inca died and got disease from toxic grains they were given from the Spanish. The average person/ ethnicity really can?t tolerate these? grains. 3/4 of the world is lactose intolerant? and almost as many are allergic to gluten. Primates did drink milk during infancy.

Its still surprises me, just how lots of people do not know about Proladox Diet Plan (do a google search), even though? a lot of people get good result because of it. Thanks to my mate who told me about Proladox Diet Plan, I have lost plenty of weight by using it without starving myself.
This adds to the conspiracy theory that food and pharmaceutical industry work together with the health and fitness industry 
I remember that you encourage people to? eat what grandma used to eat when she was my age
I must say, ever since I discovered your channel, I saw many GREAT videos on how bad food chemicals and drugs are to human health. All this valuable? input made me think about other chemicals that get in our body through our skin, like cosmetics, deodorants, perfume, body lotions & creams, washing gels, facial scrubs, shampoos and all other stuff that gets absorbed into your body.
Yes, I?d like to see? the video on the negative effects of the GMOs
I really? like this channel. Unlike some other health channels, their major goal is to sell their products or any sponsored products, insteas this channel is truthful and free. Psychetruth is also very organized and well scripted. Plus the hostess is really nice and pretty.
whats? up with the little owl drawn on the white board? is she into illuminati sybolism and devil worship? who knows ? one thing is for sure she has cute breasts i want to bite into. For youtube , i am turtlelovingzombie. Stay tuned for my next report.
She?s just? scapegoating the US
I would be interested in a video? on fertility treatments both natural and main stream medical
If you want to burn up fat fast, you should look up on google Atomic? Fat Loss. You are bound to get the body you deserve.
OF COURSE? ITS POISON ! duh
I would really like to? see a video on GMO?s
her voice goes through? my head
Can you please stop playing? those small videos in your larger videos? It?s weird and distracting.
They laughed? when I told them I was going to burn fat with Cosmos Fat Loss, but then I showed them the results. Do a search on google for Cosmos Fat Loss to see their reaction.
terrificweightloss(.com) ? great? website where I got a free E-Book upon sign up.
I was making some loose-talk or joke probably a mistake and not-clear for who might read it ? writting ?just Look at their Faces.? More sources and backing are generally called for yes, & saying See Their Faces is a Sort of joke, in as much as it?s Opposite of Giving Sources and being Clear. Thus I mean to name some names, and say they are? baddies without adding references right then. ?Look at their faces? Really Does Apply once people have read up on them and the things such people are doing.
behavioral labeling constitutes ?diagnosis? and treatment is Medical (That is, prescription brain-drugging Pills, electric shock right across the temples, and psychosurgery). A Founding Father of this categorical labeling without reference to any etiology or pathology and treatment with patent drugs is Donald Klein,? M.D. Treatment primarily consists of patented ?centrally-acting drugs? (neuropsychopharmacology ?is dedicated to? this TA Ban, M.D.)
Loren Mosher was on the Task Force that created the 58 page Report to the Am Psychiatric Assoc on Orthomolecular Therapy. Dr. Mosher said if all other Psychiatrists adopted Orthomolecular he would never do so ? so he was selected. After, in this way, *using* the old Psychological therapists to help attack the biochemical treatment Psychiatrists the APA suppressed? them too. Aligned with the Pharmaceuticals the DSM3 switched to the Medical Model in which no medical tests are used, Psychological
Biochemist Linus Pauling, and Abram Hoffer, M.D. Psychiatrist with good chemistry skills, along with their fellow travelers, in the 1970 book Orthomolecular Psychiatry use the terms ?The schizophrenias,? ?Metabolic misperception,? and schizophrenia ? unlike Thomas Szasz who wrote that schizophrenia is a myth, a cash-cow, a chemical cosh and also unlike Loren Mosher, M.D. and Bertram Karon, Ph.D who believe in Psychotherapy for schizophrenia or Psychosis with little? drugs (and no biochemcals)
I?m sorry but if anyone were to look into someone eyes like that and see their motivations, there would be no point for? the justice system because it?s too obvious when someone?s intentions are malicious. It?s not a stupid question for someone to question any sort of information that is presented to them, no matter what the medium.

See too the FDA official in :We Become Silent
If you had a good passport and could just make some money off of selling some crappy hack novels or something ? then you could go? (attempt to escape the concentration camp? Smile ? the cameras Everywhere and the now strong-arm Militarized police are for your protection) to Costa Rica and Nicaragua where the Hostels are low cost (not as in the good ol? US of A) and really great pineapples and coconuts are low cost.

An interesting item in the book; People who noticed that L-Tryptophan (health food store dietary chemical-isolate precursor to 5-HTP, Serotonin, Melatonin, &? DMT in the Human brain) was banned by the FDA (following people dying after A Japanese-source Batch turned out to be bad) at about the same time that the FDA approved the 1st SSRI Antidepressant chemical for massive sale, noted various obvious conspiratorial implications (see google Dean Wolfe Manders). NEVER MENTIONED: The Batch was a GMO.
The creator of the Whole Earth Catalog, ecologist Stewart Brand in his recent book Whole Earth Discipline states emphatically that Monsanto and Gene Engineered Foods are good things. His case points include Golden Rice and BioCassava. In places where people have enuf rice to eat and not much else, the vitamin A in Franken-Rice preventing going blind is? a positive thing. Likewise where Cassava is available but doesn?t have adequate protein Monsanto can be gladfully thanked. Thank You My League!
Sheldon and Rampton in 1 of their books Trust Us We?re Experts, or Toxic Sludge is Good For You explained a would-be Superscience DNA splicing technique used to make new genetic organisms.

Well, the quality of information is dictated by yourself of course. In this specific case, I find that the information is still? valid although with bias.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) ? The family of a U.S. missionary pilot who has disappeared off the coast of West Africa says aviation officials waited nearly 24 hours to start searching for his missing plane. But the lead investigator on Sao Tome island says the coast guard was alerted after it was dark.
The family of Jerry Krause, a missionary from Waseca, Minnesota, is sending a representative to Sao Tome in an effort to clarify what happened after the control tower lost contact with the pilot and his Beechcraft 1900C as it was approaching the airport amid a tropical storm on the afternoon of April 7.
Krause was flying from South Africa to Mali with a scheduled refueling stop in Sao Tome.
"His plane was never reported missing by Sao Tome until Monday afternoon after 3 p.m. when my mom contacted the (U.S.) Embassy in Mali," Krause's daughter, Jessica, told The Associated Press on Thursday. She said the first search by boat also didn't start until Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after he went missing.
"It was us having to call them to say 'Please, send someone out to look for my dad.'" Jessica Krause spoke by telephone from Bamako, Mali, where she flew from the U.S. to be with her mother, Gina.
Antonio Lima, president of the Air Accident Investigation Commission at Sao Tome's National Civil Aviation Institute, said control tower officials reported that Krause's plane lost contact with them at 4.13 p.m. (1613 GMT), according to a report provided by the airport management company ENESA.
He told the AP in a telephone interview that the tower reported at least to the local coast guard, which said it received the alert about Krause's plane being missing at 6 p.m., when it was already dark. The coast guard reported sending a vessel to search the sea in the direction from which the plane had been flying in on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday following the Sunday afternoon disappearance, he said.
But they found no trace of the aircraft, not even a sign of fuel on the surface of the ocean, Lima said, quoting the coast guard report.
Krause's family is encouraged by the lack of any debris and believes he is still alive. At its Web site www.findjerry.com , the family says the lack of any wreckage or signals from emergency transmitter beacons is an indicator the plane didn't crash. It has suggested Krause could have been kidnapped by drug traffickers or warlords, though there is no evidence to support that theory.
Lima said finding the plane is "crucial," so that they can recover the black box. "Without that we may never get to the bottom of this," he said.
Lima acknowledged there are plenty of loose ends that he hopes to clear up in his investigation.
He said he was unaware of a claim by the control tower chief that the tower was struck by lightning while it was in radio contact with Krause. Chief Januario Barreto told the AP on Wednesday that by the time generators restored power, soon afterward, the tower had lost contact with Krause.
Lima said "someone is lying" and that he suspected Barreto "is trying to save himself" by telling such a story. Barreto also said traffic controllers immediately contacted the nearest control towers, at Libreville, Gabon, and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, but they had not heard from Krause.
Jessica Krause said pilot friends at the Sahel Aviation Service for which her father worked in Bamako, Mali, called all airports within flying distance from around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon until 9 p.m. that night.
"Several pilots made the calls trying to figure out where he was as no one had reported that he was missing," she said. "We called them (other airports) 24 hours later and not one of them had any idea what we were talking about when we mentioned a missing aircraft heading to Sao Tome Sunday evening."
Krause's family has filed a missing person report in the U.S. to allow the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board to investigate his disappearance. The board was notified of Krause's case on April 9 and has named a representative to participate in the investigation, said Hilary Fuller Renner, spokeswoman for the Bureau of African Affairs at the U.S. State Department.

I knew I made the right choice in pursuing my master's degree at New York University. Not only because the journalism program here is well-known within journalism circles, but also because I was amazed by the number of internship opportunities this vibrant city offers, which are direct leads to my future career.
Finding the right graduate school is a time-consuming and arduous process, so consider the following factors to decide which school is your best bet.
[Get tips and advice about attending grad school in the U.S.]
1. Research your program based on legitimate sources: Program rankings are vital enough to affect your decision, but instead of relying on your home country's search engine, try using credible U.S. websites to get an inside look at your program, including its prestige and standing.
In addition, you can learn more about a program if you consult directly with faculty. After I learned I was admitted to the Reporting New York multimedia program at NYU, I went to the school's website to find out information about faculty members, including their specialties and contact information.
When you converse with faculty through email or over the phone, you can also ask them to put you in touch with current students. Talking to current students can also give you a better understanding of the program.
[Learn how international students can budget for grad school.]
2. Take into account the locations of your schools: If your field of study requires practical skills rather than theoretical knowledge, you should consider going to cities, because you will have a better chance of getting internships there than in small, rural towns.
It's also important to know that many U.S. schools have campuses located in different cities or even different states. You need to figure out on which campus your program is located by visiting the school's website.
Research the places of your potential future schools. You can ask questions like: What industries in my field are located there? What are the job or internship opportunities like in that place?
3. Know the details of your program: First, find out how long your program is. Many graduate programs in the U.S. are two years in length.
However, the length of programs can vary by school even if the programs are similar. An M.A. in journalism from Columbia University takes two semesters, as opposed to an M.A. in journalism from NYU, which generally takes three semesters.
Go to official websites of schools to find out how long your program will be. Get a sense of the workload by asking current students, alumni or the program's director to find out what classes you will be required to take during each semester, or look at the syllabus on the school's website. Be assertive in seeking out specific information on your programs of interest.
[Consider these things before applying to U.S. grad schools.]
4. Learn your career options: Since your final goal is to find a job, talk to alumni or career service advisers to learn what you can do and where you can go after graduation.
Consult your school's international students and scholars office to find out about the Optional Practical Training program -- which typically allows international students to work in the U.S. legally for one year after graduation as long as their jobs are related to their educational field -- as well as about visas. Many offices' websites will also have information about applying for OPT.
The steps above mark the beginning of your future journey in the U.S. International students who are aiming to have a successful academic life and career in the U.S. should remember not to get discouraged. There's only one way you can make yourself better: never give up or stop trying.
Jia Guo, from China, graduated from the University of Minnesota--Twin Cities in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism. Guo is currently a graduate journalism student at New York University.
