However, it's worth keeping in mind how the human mind works; in particular its limitations. Our minds and behaviours are inherently flawed. Part of being a smart and responsible person is not just modulating your behaviour, but also designing your life so as to elicit the right kinds of outcomes. A simple example is putting an item that you want to bring with you tomorrow by the door. You could "Just remember to grab it when you leave tomorrow morning!", but you're accounting for your own fallible memory by putting it by the door while you're thinking of it. Another example would be a person who puts a tempting snack on an inaccessible shelf: they buy the snack because they want to have a treat sometimes, but they purposefully make it slightly inconvenient for themselves to eat the snack, so that they don't just reflexively eat it all the time. It's part of a strategy to invoke more rational thinking, rather than just let your immediate impulses win.
There are many more examples of such behaviour. Obviously it's "better" to simply have infinite willpower and rationality; but for people who do not (and if we're being honest, this describes all of us; though our individual temptations and biases are different), it can be useful to design your life to account for your fallibility.
So, in principle a cellphone app that disables the phone while driving can be useful. It's for people who recognize that it's a really bad idea to use your phone while driving, and yet are so addicted to their phone that they cannot avoid answering it when it rings. (Or are so addicted to status updates that they will absentmindedly check when bored, even if they are driving!) These people may also not have the discipline (or memory) to (for instance) always put the phone in the trunk before getting behind the wheel. For those people, such an app can be useful.
Having said all that, I think it's unrealistic to expect an app to properly differentiate between the situations where you would want the phone disabled (while driving) and those where you don't (parked, passenger in a car, etc.). So I think the question-poster should instead investigate other ways to modulate their own behaviour (e.g. put a holder in the car, in a very visible location, that says "PHONE BATTERY GOES HERE", and always pull out the battery before turning on the car).

BUIES CREEK — A decade ago, Jerry Wallace sat under a tree awaiting Campbell University's graduation ceremony, marveling at how much he had enjoyed his first year back in the classroom after more than 20 years as an administrator there.
He had no concern for the frantic preparations inside; his own plans included a monthlong beach vacation starting the next day. But that night, Campbell's president paid him a visit. He was gravely ill and wanted Wallace to be the next leader of the private Baptist college.
"You've rested long enough," Wallace recalls then-president Norman Wiggins telling him.
Indeed, Wallace, now 77, hasn't rested much since. In 2003, he became the college's fourth president, and in nine years he has overseen massive changes - including the addition of what will be the state's second-largest medical school when it opens next year.
The school recently got the accreditation it needed to start recruiting its first class of students, and its 96,000-square-foot home is rising along U.S. 421 near Campbell's main campus. It will be the first new medical school to open in North Carolina in 35 years and the first to train doctors of osteopathy, who tend to focus on primary care.
Wallace conceived the idea of a medical school only two years ago and championed it as a way to grow much-needed family doctors in the rural areas, where many of its students will train at area hospitals.
The $70 million project, funded with private donations, loans and cash reserves, will be the capstone of a tenure in which Wallace also revamped the university's campus, moved its law school to downtown Raleigh, and added a series of new programs.
"None of this has been easy," he says of the changes at Campbell. "We have had our work cut out for us, but the good Lord has provided."
Campbell Trustee Bob Barker says the university has made tremendous progress under Wallace and credits Wallace with many of the strides the school made while he was provost under Wiggins.
"He is just an innovative person," says Barker, a Campbell alumnus and owner of a Fuquay-Varina-based supply company. "He amazes me all the time with how he comes up with these ideas and carries them through."
Schooled in divinity, education
Wallace has worked at Campbell for 41 years and boasts an unusual set of qualifications. The son of mill workers, he holds one doctorate degree in divinity from the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, and another in education from N.C. State University.
He grew up in tiny Rockingham, east of Charlotte on the South Carolina border, where his father managed the company store and his mother worked in the mill's cloth room.
His youth was infused with his love of football, and he went to East Carolina University on a short-lived football scholarship.
"I didn't last but two weeks," he says. "I met three men who were bigger and better than I was, and I didn't want to be hurt that much."
He also saw how much the game infringed on players' academic performance. So he left the team and paid his way through school by doing tax returns and earned his bachelor's in English and government.
In Wake Forest, he was assigned as a student pastor during his studies, and he went on to be the pastor of an Elizabethtown Baptist Church for 15 years. There, he led the construction of a new church and several educational buildings.
When that project was done, he returned to school, commuting to N.C. State while still serving as pastor. He says his time at N.C. State, where he did much of his master's work in sociology, complemented his years of religious study.
"It tempered me," he says. "It made me a person who is less judgmental. When you're looking at groups of people, you have to be objective enough to really see what is. I'd been dealing for years with what ought to be, and this tension between what is and what ought to be is what life is all about."
For years, he struggled between ministry and teaching. The first time he was hired at Campbell, he signed a contract and put it in the mail, then drove out to Buies Creek to intercept it.
"I love people, and being a pastor has to be the most personal relationship that anybody would have with another person," he says.
He agreed to teach a class as an adjunct instead and says he was hooked. He left his church when he was offered a job chairing the religion and philosophy department, and was soon named the university's dean, then provost – a post that he held for nearly 20 years.
'Full steam ahead'
Campbell had been on a growth trajectory before Wallace took over as president; since 1976, it has added professional programs in law, business, divinity and pharmacy, as well as a campus in Malaysia. But observers say Wallace has revved up the pace of change.
"We've been full steam ahead," says Haven Hottel, Campbell's communications director. "It's been a great time here."
Some of the changes Wallace had in mind from the beginning - such as adding a football team and building a convocation center. But he never envisioned a medical school at Campbell until he was asked by an accrediting group to visit a small Mississippi college that was considering adding one.
He started the trip believing that opening a medical school, with its $150 million price tag, was untenable at a small college. But he found that much of that cost came from opening a hospital, which wasn't needed if students trained at existing hospitals.
The practice is common in osteopathic medical programs, where graduates earn a D.O. instead of the M.D. degree. Doctors of osteopathy complete a similar course of study but are trained in "whole person" care instead of focusing on illness and injury; the majority enter primary care fields such as internal medicine and pediatrics instead of specialties.
Wallace thought this model would work at Campbell, which had recently added a physician's assistant and other health sciences programs. He pulled together statistics pointing to a dire statewide shortage of primary care doctors and presented his case to a small group of trustees.
They were understandably skeptical, but he sold them on the idea and has since forged relationships with nearly a dozen local hospitals where Campbell medical students will train, including WakeMed in Raleigh, but mostly in rural areas.
The school's opening will mark another chapter in a growth story that is not without growing pains – moving the law school, for instance, rankled many alumni and faculty – but one Wallace is proud of.
"Campbell has sensed places where it could meet a need," he says. "We've been entrepreneurial, and I like to think the world is better because of this little place in Buies Creek."

2013 and earlier-Mercedes Benz GL-Class Lease Questions
edited January 29 in Mercedes-Benz
Hi everyone. Please use the following discussion to post any questions that you have about leasing a Mercedes Benz GL-Clas. Thanks.
Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
haplology Posts: 28Just got an email saying this car is now available. Seems like a pretty good deal from the rough numbers, but I'd like more details. Haven't driven it yet, so I'm not sure I'd like it, but . . .
I'm interested in a three year 10K mile lease. I have no idea on what kind of discounts or specials they're offering on the car. If you could just go off whatever you think is a reasonable price for a base model or whatever. Do you know the MF and residual yet?
I am a first time poster here. I am considering leasing the Infinti GX or the Mercedes GL. I would prefer the Mercedes, but the difference in price is hard to justify for me personally. How much of a deal are the Mercedes special lease offers? Do they cut overall costs significantly, or are they just smoke and mirrors?
You're comparing two totally different vehicles. The equivalent of the Infiniti FX for Mercedes would probably be the ML and the equivalent for the GL for Infiniti would probably be the QX. Also consider the fact that the GL does cost around the same as a Toyota Landcruiser.
Thanks for your response. I used the wrong vehicle name in my question. Sorry. I am looking at the QX and the GL. I have five kids, so with my husband and I and all the kiddies, I need a lot of trunk space. I'd like a luxury car, so that leads me to the Mercedes GL or the Infiniti QX. I much prefer the Mercedes, but the cost difference between the GL and the QX is hard to justify to myself... despite tehri obvious differences. The Mercedes similarly equipped seemes to be around $15-$20k more than the Infiniti, and I am wondering whether there are better lease options for the Mercedes that may bring the prices of the two vehicles closer to each other. Can you offer any suggestions?
Also, in the back of my mind I worry abotu the safety of the Infiniti.
Hi, yea, don't expect the GL to be reduced anytime soon. It's still kind of new. As for the Infiniti, I really haven't heard good things about it, if it was the FX, I'd say go for it, but the QX is kinda shaky. However, I'm sure if u wait a while, u could get a GREAT deal on the GL, look at the marketing for the R-Class.
How long is a while? I am afraid I don't know anything about the marketing fo the R class. I do know all local dealers in my area do not even have the GL with the back up camera. They say it will be months before that arrives so I assume pricing won't go down until for much after that. What do you expect the timeline to be like? Months or years?
Hello lopz. If you were to lease a 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 through Mercedes-Benz Credit Corp. right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00355 and 70%. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be .00320 and 62%, respectively.

marcsusl Posts: 4upstate leasing is running a special on it now. a gl450 with premium package, sunroof package, and rear seat entertaiment. msrp $65025 lease for only $899 a month with $3000 total due at signing including ny sales tax (8%) and all fees. email me for more info. happy to help out a fellow shopper.
njmum Posts: 1My Volvo XC90 is leased until 5/08 but I need a bigger car and would like the GL. The local MB dealer said they would look into using the Volvo as a trade-in. What does this mean? I can't find any info about this on the leasing sites. The only reason we're leasing now is because we were only expecting to live in the USA for a brief period. Our plans changed so I would consider buying, although I do like driving newer cars. Anyway, am I stuck with the Volvo or is there a way to get another car without the dealer tacking on the lease payments from the Volvo onto the new car? Any info would be great.
oman9 Posts: 97Wow...pretty slow board out here...
njmum, the Volvo trade in basically means the cap cost would be reduced by the value of your trade in that they give you. Let's say you negotiate the "cost/price" of the GL450 you want to lease is 65K. Let's say the residual after 36 months is 54%, therefore the value at the end of the lease is $35,100 (54% times the 65K). Your monthly payment, if you had no trade in, would be based on your usage of the car (deprecation) of $29,900 plus the money factor (interest rate) charged on the 65K value of the car. If your trade was worth say $10K for the Volvo, the cap cost would be reduced by that amount, so your monthly payment for the depreciation portion would be based on 19,900 plus the money factor portion. Also you would have generally have sales taxes built into your monthly payment as well although I believe some states require sales taxes paid on the whole vehicle up front. I'm no leasing expert but I do know states vary on how that's handled. Hope this helps...
Hey jakpenn,
according to the following website: http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=173261
these are numbers that I found (for Dec. 2006):
24 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 67% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate
36 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 59% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate
48 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 53% of MSRP – .00245 Base Money Factor Rate
60 mo/15k mi – Residual Value 42% of MSRP – .00370 Base Money Factor Rate
MB is running their Winter Event now (thru 1/2) and in the small print of the GL ad it seems to say that the dealer contribution is about $2K.
Good luck--I am looking into the GL as well, and will post any numbers I get.

Sullivan-Kriss said counselors and grief sessions are available to students throughout the district, and she thanked local merchants for their support of students staying before or after classes for counseling.
Anthony Pfeifer is the son of Edwin and Carolann. He is survived by his sisters, Ashley and Danielle, and the cherished grandson of Rena Pfeifer, according to an obituary published on Moloney Funeral Home's website.

Venison is a terrific source of protein and its low in fat and cholesterol. To many families, it is a treat and to others it is a sorely missed food (hard to hunt without disposable income.) Hunters throughout Pennsylvania can donate venison - either partial or an entire deer - through Hunters Sharing the Harvest.
Really, there are year round opportunities to donate fresh foods to your neighbors - produce, venison and other game, and even perishable items if your local pantry or soup kitchen has the resources. It is always good to ask. Feel free to contact us at Tote4Pgh (at) gmail dot com if you'd like to make a non-traditional donation.
Are you a fan of venison? Do you know someone who has donated through this or similar programs? Please share in the comments section.
Speaking of sharing, the "Yinz Save n' Share" project (aka BurghSaver) is matching all food and grocery donations made at the 2012 I Made It! for the Holidays event at Bakery Square Fri Nov 30 and Sat Dec 1. Cash donations of $5 and above will generate a donation of a tote bag.
The Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project collects new and gently used tote bags for distribution to the region's food pantries. We are a project of the Thomas Merton Center. Visit our website for a list of permanent drop-off spots, information on how to organize your own tote bag drive and details on our partnerships with corporations and promotional products items. You can also follow us on Twitter@Tote4Pgh and Facebook.com/Tote4pgh
