This is something new Google is doing and the documentation on it is
sparse.

Google mentioned it in this blogpost:
http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.com/2008/08/howd-they-do-that.html
Then I looked at the docs for it
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/documentation/#ClientLocation

I modified it to look like this
_____

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?
key=MYAPIKEY"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("feeds", "1");
function initialize()
{

InTheNews.prototype.setDefaultLocation_ = function()
        {
                alert('inside');
                this.currentState_ = this.options_.startingState;
                if (google.loader.ClientLocation &&
google.loader.ClientLocation.address.country_code == "US" &&
google.loader.ClientLocation.address.region)
                {
                        // geo locate was successful and user is in the states. 
range check
                        // the region so that we can safely use it when 
selecting a state
                        // level polygon overlay
                        var state =
google.loader.ClientLocation.address.region.toUpperCase();
                        alert(google.loader.ClientLocation.address.city);
                        if (InTheNews.stateNames[state])
                        {
                                this.currentState_ = state;
                        }
                }
                this.currentCountry_ = "US";
        }

}
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
</script>

Unfortunatey its not doing the alerts, but the thing is I'm not even
sure how to call that function or make it run it.
