...Garmin's first warm-and-fuzzy navigator, the c330. Last year, I said that while I enjoyed the c330's extremely friendly interface, its screen was too hard to see in sunlight. Other c330 flaws included a windshield suction cup that just didn't suck enough, and a GPS chip that would lose reception when driving on an underpass. In the c550, all three of those mistakes have been rectified - the anti-glare screen is much easier to see under the hot summer sun, the suction mount holds fast to the windshield, and a new GPS chip-from a specialized...
...Lheem's thinking. Near Hyundai's plant, Nokia opened the first phase of a $150 million mobile-phone factory in March.

In the past decade, Harrow and Dulwich, two public (that is, fee-paying) schools in the London area with big reputations, have opened five franchises overseas between them - primary and secondary schools in China and Thailand that share their names...
...female college activist groups go, the Network of Enlightened Women, or NeW, is a very different breed. They don't distribute condoms on the Quad or march for a woman's right to choose. Instead, they bake chocolate chip cookies and protest campus productions of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, a controversial play about female sexuality that conservatives say degrades women and glorifies rape...
...food-allergy reactions come from inadvertently ingesting the offending ingredient. But though the Food and Drug Administration requires manufacturers to list all potential allergens, from nuts to eggs to fish, they don't always comply. In March, a Hauppauge, N.Y.-based cookie company had to recall some chocolate-chip cookies because it had neglected to mention that peanuts were an ingredient, and its customers were getting sick...
