The lame-duck chief executive
WASHINGTON — As I sat in the gallery Tuesday night watching President Obama give his State of the Union address, I found myself wishing we could repeal the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms.
Before Rush Limbaugh chokes on his doughnut, I should say I wasn't swept away by the magnificence of Obama's oratory; at more than an hour, it was downright Clintonian. Nor do I have a desire to see this president's inconsistent leadership extended beyond the next three years.
Rather, it's a wish future presidents, and future Americans, don't have to endure the sort of farce we experienced Tuesday night: A president's term effectively finished three years before it ends.
Yes, Obama remains commander in chief, and he apparently plans to sign so many executive orders he's going to have to ice his fingers. But his "I've got a pen and I've got a phone" strategy of executive action he outlined to Congress means he is abandoning anything resembling a serious legislative agenda for the rest of his tenure. That's by necessity: His standing is diminished by the fact he can't run again, the race for his successor is beginning and the opposition knows it can run out the clock on his presidency.
Much of this is because the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951 in reaction to Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms, almost guarantees lame-duck status. The president cannot be on the ballot, so opponents justifiably think they can wait him out — and media attention turns to the next presidential race.
The very suggestion of ending presidential term limits when a Democrat is in office causes a right-wing freak out, as happened a couple of months ago when New York University historian Jonathan Zimmerman made the argument in an opinion piece.
Last week, conservatives were reacting to Obama's executive-order strategy by calling him a "dictator" (Rep. Randy Weber) and a "king" (Rep. Michele Bachmann) who is running an "imperial presidency" (Laura Ingraham) and staging a "coup" (Limbaugh). So, let's take dictator/king Obama out of the picture and say, as the 22nd Amendment did, the repeal of term limits will apply only to presidents elected after it is ratified.
Conservatives might take delight in seeing this president hobbled, but the same happened to George W. Bush when his partial privatization of Social Security failed early in his second term and Hurricane Katrina cemented his lame-duck status. Then, the liberals were cheering the chief executive's impotence and howling about his use of executive orders. Having a crippled presidency for three years isn't good for the country — regardless of who's in charge.
Certainly, many second-term woes have been less about lame duck status than about hubris, complacency and first-term mistakes catching up with presidents. But when a presidency has a constitutional expiration date, it increases the opposition's incentive to stall. No wonder modern second terms have been almost uniformly successful.
Dwight Eisenhower's average approval rating of 69.6 percent in his first term went to 60.5 percent in his second, according to Gallup. Lyndon Johnson (though he could have run again in 1968) saw his 74.2 percent approval in his first term fall to 50.3 percent in his Vietnam-plagued second term. Watergate-wounded Richard Nixon went from 55.8 percent to 34.4 percent. Bush's approval level of 62.2 percent in his first term fell to 36.5 percent in his second. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton defied the pattern because of good economic times, but their second terms were dominated, respectively, by Iran-contra and impeachment.
There's no movement for repeal, unless you count Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano of New York, who introduced repeal legislation at the start of each of the last nine Congresses, to no effect. Perhaps there would be more enthusiasm for the change if lawmakers considered the presidential irrelevancy encouraged by the 22nd Amendment is responsible for the sort of ennui in the House chamber Tuesday.
Not quite 33.3 million Americans watched the address, according to Nielsen, giving it the second-lowest rating since the organization began counting in 1993. Requests for seats in the press gallery were lower than usual. And those who tuned out didn't miss much. The most talked-about proposal was an executive order that would, with time, raise the minimum wage for all of half a million federal contract workers.
That's a big deal if you're one of those workers. But the rest of the country shouldn't have to wait three years for a first-term president to start up the machinery of government again.

With the date for the introduction of the new regulatory regime for IPO sponsors now just a matter of weeks away on October 1, 2013, the Hong Kong market has witnessed further action taken by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) against a Hong Kong-listed company accused of behaviour that the new regime is intended to address. On this occasion, the SFC has for the first time exercised its powers under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO) to petition the High Court to wind up a listed company, on public interest grounds. We saw another instance of a "first" earlier this year when the SFC forced Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited to unwind a sale of individual units in a hotel known as The Apex Horizon[1] which the SFC considered amounted to a collective investment scheme and where the promotional materials and offer process lacked SFC authorization.[2] The theme of stepped-up enforcement action is an ongoing one and it is to be expected that more examples are likely to follow.
The SFC's winding-up petition in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance was against China Metal Recycling (Holdings) Limited, a scrap metal recycling company operating in China which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) and incorporated in the Cayman Islands. On July 26, 2013, the Court granted orders for the appointment of provisional liquidators (PLs) of China Metal and a hearing date for the winding-up has been set for October. A number of arrests connected to China Metal followed the presentation of the petition.
Trading in the shares of China Metal was suspended at the end of January, 2013 following the release of a report by Glaucus Research Group, a US-based short selling firm, which had alleged that "many of China Metal's key financial and operational metrics deviate so significantly from other scrap metal recyclers that its reported performance defies credibility". China Metal denied the allegations. The suspension also came three days after China Metal announced that its Chairman, CEO and founder had agreed to sell 55% of his shares in the Company to a Chinese State-owned Enterprise. China Metal had in fact been under investigation by the SFC since late 2009 following its IPO in the middle of that year.
The petition and the appointment of PLs marks another milestone in the SFC's use of previously unused powers, and in the increasingly proactive approach being taken by its Enforcement Division to pursue those who it believes have breached Hong Kong's securities laws.
Petition to Wind Up – Remedy of Last Resort
There is no lack of earlier examples of court-appointed PLs to Hong Kong-listed companies, but in these cases the petitioner would usually have been a creditor bank. The fact that the SFC chose to intervene before any creditor took action is a further sign of the increased willingness of the SFC to make use of its powers in new directions.
It is worthwhile comparing the action taken against China Metal with that taken by the SFC in 2010 against fabrics manufacturer Hontex International Holdings Company Limited. In the latter case, the SFC took swift remedial action shortly after Hontex's IPO in December 2009, when its prospectus was discovered to have contained materially false and misleading information. The SFC obtained an injunction to freeze assets and later a court order requiring Hontex to return monies to investors in the IPO and purchasers of shares in the secondary market. This was achieved by means of a share repurchase offer made by Hontex which was completed in October, 2012. Coincidentally, at the time that Hontex's shares ceased trading, its share price was very close to the IPO price and this helped the repurchase process. The remedy in this case was directed exclusively at compensating shareholders.
This is to be contrasted with China Metal where, at the time of the suspension in trading, the shares were trading at a substantial premium to the IPO price, and by the time of the presentation of the winding-up petition, more than four years had elapsed since the IPO. Given these factors, seeking a court order to restore investors to their original position would have been unworkable.
During their investigation of China Metal, the SFC had found evidence that showed that the suspected inflation of its financial position was continuing and this remained an ongoing issue for the accuracy of its latest annual financial results, which China Metal had failed to issue. The Company also had failed to satisfy the conditions imposed by the HKSE for the resumption of trading in its shares. The last-resort nature of the remedy used by the SFC shows that the SFC had run out of patience with a delinquent listed company that had deliberately flouted its compliance obligations. A key point about this course of action is that unlike the remedy obtained in the Hontex case, at the end of the process, shareholders may find themselves empty-handed. The duties of the PLs of China Metal (and of its liquidators, once appointed) are first and foremost to the Company's creditors rather than to shareholders. In the order of ranking for distributions in a liquidation, shareholders (i.e., contributories) stand at the very back of the queue and will only receive distributions of surplus assets after creditors have been paid in full. If the debts are at all significant, any recoveries that shareholders might expect to receive can quickly be eroded to nothing.
Why appoint provisional liquidators?
Owing to the court timetable and the litigation process, it would usually take several months to obtain a winding-up order. In the meantime the element of surprise is lost, and assets may disappear.[3] For this reason, when it can be shown that there is a danger that the company's assets are in jeopardy, PLs can be appointed swiftly after the presentation of a winding up petition as a precursor to a court order for winding up. To quote the Hong Kong Court of Appeal, "[t]raditionally the primary object of appointing a provisional liquidator has been regarded as the need to maintain the status quo and to prevent anybody from obtaining priority over other creditors".[4]
PLs usually are given wide powers by the court to take possession of the assets and to operate the business of the entities to which they have been appointed, as well as to investigate their affairs. On their appointment, all powers of the directors cease so that they no longer have authority to deal with the Company's assets or its undertaking. Subsequently, if the court makes a winding-up order, the PLs will be discharged and liquidators appointed in their place.
Although China Metal's directors have now been displaced, given that many of its assets will be located in mainland China, a significant question mark hangs over the ability of the PLs to obtain recovery of those assets. The issue faced by PLs and liquidators appointed under one legal system who seek to recover assets located in a second legal system is a perennial one as there is no formal basis for the recognition in China of a Hong Kong liquidation.
Other Recent Enhanced Regulatory Action
The first-time action taken against China Metal also should be seen in the light of the separate SFC action against the now defunct New York-based hedge fund, Tiger Asia. The outcome of these proceedings has clarified a wider spectrum of enforcement powers available to the SFC. The SFC had brought proceedings under section 213 of the SFO seeking remedial orders and injunctions in relation to allegations that Tiger Asia had contravened Hong Kong's insider dealing and market manipulation laws. During 2008 and 2009, after receiving price-sensitive information relating to disposals of shares of Chinese banks and agreeing to be "wall crossed", Tiger Asia had short sold shares in those banks. In the meantime, following its prosecution in the US courts for the illegal use of inside information, Tiger Asia entered a guilty plea and settled both criminal and civil actions for a substantial sum.
In Hong Kong, the SFC was successful in arguing before the Final Court of Appeal that section 213 of the SFO provides for a free-standing and self-contained remedy that is not conditional on there being criminal proceedings or proceedings before the Market Misconduct Tribunal (MMT). As the SFC succeeded in its application, those proceedings are still ongoing. In the meantime, as Tiger Asia has been subject to criminal proceedings in the US, given the double jeopardy rule that a person cannot be subject to a second set of criminal proceedings for the same offence, the SFC has now commenced civil proceedings in the MMT against Tiger Asia and several of its officers and the hearing is set to commence in May 2014. The amounts being claimed by the SFC are not yet known.
New Regulatory Regime for IPO Sponsors
The SFC's recent enforcement action described above anticipates the new regulatory regime for IPO sponsors which will come into effect on October 1, 2013. They should be viewed together as part of a wider enhancement of Hong Kong's regulatory regime. The SFC and the HKSE will be in a position to exercise wider powers over listing applicants and their sponsors, as well as delinquent listed issuers, where the SFC has shown itself to be more willing to step in and take action.
The introduction of the new regime comes after a period of consultation by the SFC following concerns expressed by the SFC that standards of sponsor work had fallen short of reasonable expectations, and in particular that in a number of cases sponsors did not substantially complete their due diligence before making a listing application.[5] Both the Hontex and China Metal cases, where compliance issues were present from the outset, no doubt will have served to throw fuel on the fire.
The new regime will tighten the obligations of sponsors during the listing process, in particular in respect of due diligence and the quality of disclosure in draft application proof prospectuses submitted to the HKSE. A key part of the regime is that starting from April 1, 2014, the HKSE will publish the names of any new applicant and the sponsor whose listing application has been returned where the HKSE considers that its application proof prospectus is substantially incomplete. Subject to certain transitional arrangements, the regime will require that a redacted version of the application proof prospectus be published on the Web site of the HKSE at the time of submission. This is a major step in the listing application process and shifts the regime more into alignment with the process for an IPO in the US when a draft prospectus is filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The impact of these changes will be to "front load" much of the work that goes into preparing a prospectus and the listing application to ensure that a prospectus will be a substantially complete document at the time of submission. Inevitably, this will impose greater pressures of work and time on the advisors to an IPO.
Implementation of the new regime will involve changes to the HKSE Listing Rules, the Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed by or Registered with the SFC, the Corporate Finance Advisor Code of Conduct and the "Sponsor Guidelines" set out in the Fit and Proper Guidelines, all of which will take effect simultaneously on October 1, 2013.
Proposed Legislative Amendments regarding Prospectus Liability of IPO Sponsors
One of the more controversial proposals made by the SFC in its consultation paper on the regulation of IPO sponsors was to clarify that the existing laws under the Companies Ordinance (CO) that deal with civil and criminal liability for untrue statements, including a material omission, in a prospectus would extend to sponsors. Currently, there is no Hong Kong case law on whether sponsors are subject to such laws. The SFC stated that as the position was unclear, it believed that there was merit in removing this ambiguity by clearly identifying sponsors as also being liable for untrue statements in prospectuses. The SFC has recommended legislative amendments to make it clear that the civil and criminal prospectus liability provisions apply to sponsors and that criminal liability requires the prosecution to bear the burden of proving that: (a) a person authorizing the issue of the prospectus knew that, or was reckless as to whether, a statement in the prospectus identified by the prosecution was untrue; and (b) the untrue statement was materially adverse from an investor's perspective.[6] This approach follows that taken in parts of the SFO imposing criminal liability for knowing or reckless acts. The SFC has stated that it aims to introduce the legislative amendments into the Legislative Council in 2013-14.[7]
The SFC also pointed out that although the amended criminal liability provisions of the CO will only apply directly to a sponsor firm, the general criminal law would also extend to situations where there is evidence that an individual (not limited to directors and senior management), whether or not in the sponsor firm, has colluded in the making of an untrue statement in a prospectus. Any such individual may be prosecuted for aiding and abetting the offence under the Criminal Procedure Ordinance (CPO).[8] In addition, if there is evidence that a sponsor firm committed an offence with the consent or connivance of its directors and other officers concerned with its management, such directors or officers could also be guilty of a criminal offence under the CPO.[9]

Local as well as migrant workers in this district are finding it difficult to get work this year owing to less produce of apple.
The apple industry is one of the largest in the state, which provides livelihood to thousands of families in the apple belt districts.
Mahesh Kumar, a resident of Raysan in this district, tells HT that every year in the apple season he takes orchards on contract for packaging of apple fruit in cartons, which gives him an opportunity to earn good money, but this time the apple produce is low, which is giving him a tough time in finding work.
According to Kumar, the apple season is one of the best times for local labourers to earn in keeping with their expertise like packaging and grading as they are in great demand in villages as well as in local fruit markets, but the less produce of apple fruit has affected their prospects.
The low produce has not only hit local labourers but also migrant ones, who visit the district for three to four months in the apple season to earn their livelihood.
Santosh Kumar and Raj Kumar, natives of Uttar Pradesh; and Biresh Singh, native of Bihar, tell HT that in the past few years they have been visiting the district regularly in the apple season and making good money. But this time they are facing difficulty to find work in the local markets.
Raj Kumar says they earned Rs 700 to Rs 1,000 last year as daily wage for packaging and grading owing to good arrival of the crop in the market, but this year, due to low arrival, they are forced to remain idle for better part of the day.
He says many of his colleagues have gone to other places in search of work.
Jeeva Nand Thakur, a commission agent at Bandrol fruit market here, says the arrival of apple produce this year is half of last year's, but farmers are getting good returns. He says farmers are getting Rs 25 to Rs 55 per kg for quality product of apple in the market, while the lowest price is Rs 15 per kg.

Put first things first
- By Kevin Martineau
- May 22, 2013
- 8 Comments
In order to have our priorities right we must take care of first things first. In other words, we must take care of what is most important first. If we don't, it won't really matter what we end up doing.
We must put first things first
I came across a great story that illustrates this principle perfectly. Tennessee Titans center Kevin Long, who played under Coach Bobby Bowden at Florida State University, said his college coach inspired the team with parables. Long recounted a favorite story:
[Bowden] was playing college baseball, and he had never hit a home run. Finally he hit one down the right-field line, into the corner. He rounds first and looks to the third-base coach. He turned at second, was halfway to third and the coach was still waving him on. He got to home; he hit the plate. He had his first home run. He was so excited and everybody was slapping him five. Then the pitcher took the ball, threw to the first baseman, and the umpire called him out.
[Coach Bowden] said, "If you don't take care of first base, it doesn't matter what you do."
My first things
1. My relationship with God.
This has to be my number one priority. This is where my strength comes from.
2. Self-care.
I must take care of myself before I can take care of anyone or anything else. This includes my physical health, emotional health, spiritual health and mental health.
3. My relationship with my wife.
After God, this is my most important relationship. I must nurture this relationship.
4. My relationship with my children.
My relationship with my children is extremely important to me. I must prioritize spending time with them.
Everything else I do comes after these first things. If I don't prioritize my life around these four "first things" something else will take their place and/or I may never get to them.
How are you doing at putting first things first? What are your "first things"?
8 Comments
Thanks for the reminder. This helped me to keep things in perspective regarding some big decisions in my life.
Great reminders, Kevin. My life feels a little crazy with our transition and moving, but my great joy is knowing I can walk into a new season and get these priorities even more in order.
This is soooo hard to do.
Sometimes it gets way too challenging to prioritize relationships and activities and many a times I face this decision to pick between two equally dear friends. But then again there is always a way out without hurting either ends. Thanks for the share.

New Tank setup for a Rental
Hi all
I am looking for advise on what to do for the rental we are in. My tanks is 90 Gallon
1. Should the tank stand be on a rubber matt?
2. Can I use pex tubing instead of PVC tubing
welcome to the forum
I would just get a water changer so that there is not the possibility of spilling a bucket of water on the floor. As far as a rubber mat is concerned - any small amount of water that makes it out of the aquarium, that the rubber mat will catch, isn't a big deal. A catastrophic problem, such as the tank breaking, will not be contained no matter what you do.

Social networks will become a critical media for marketers and advertisers.

Stochastic evolution of rules for playing normal form games
The evolution of boundedly rational rules for playing normal form games is studied within stationary environments of stochastically changing games. Rules are viewed as algorithms prescribing strategies for the different normal form games that arise. It is shown that many of the folk results of evolutionary game theory typically obtained with a fixed game and fixed strategies carry over to the present case. The results are also related to recent experiments on rules and games.

The previously announced title fight between UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen will headline UFC 159.
Officials previously announced the April 27 event date and location at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Now, the event has an official name: UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen.
The main card, including the Jones vs. Sonnen title fight, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. Currently, Jones vs. Sonnen is the only fight announced or rumored for the card.
Jones and Sonnen serve as coaches on the 17th edition of The Ultimate Fighter, which debuts Jan. 22 on FX. Their fight coincides with the show's conclusion, though it won't be part of the official finale event.
The New York-based Jones beat Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 128 in March 2011 to win the title in New Jersey. Since then, he has defended it with wins over Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 135, Lyoto Machida at UFC 140, Rashad Evans at UFC 145, and Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 last September.
Sonnen, meanwhile, suffered a July loss to middleweight champ Anderson Silva. A month later, he announced his intention to move up to the light-heavyweight division for a fight against former champ Forrest Griffin. But Sonnen pulled out of that fight when the UFC offered him to be a TUF 17 coach over other possibilities, including top contender Dan Henderson, and promised him an immediate title shot.

Guilt of What's Best
Just when steady came to my heart
Then came what tore it all apart.
Losing what began to put me at peace.
Hoping I'd learn to let it be.
But it's too late to fix what's already been done.
And all I can see is the smoke from this gun.
The gun of my actions which made you cry.
The smoke of the tears yet to run dry.
And all of it's my fault.
Please just put it on me.
Let me life my life in guilt
And set your burdened soul free.
It's what I deserve
Maybe it's what I need.
To suffer like you have
For the result of my deeds.
It makes me sick
To think that I hurt you.
It makes me cry
To know there's nothing I can do.
I just wish
It didn't have to be this way.
But I know
There is just no other way.
When the future comes
We'd have to let go.
And be content
Knowing we helped each other grow.
Even with that it's still hard to live
Hoping now that myself I can forgive.
While you say you have forgiven me
My heart still lives in captivity.

Good 3.2 /5 from 216 reviews
Check in was fast and efficient the front desk agent was very cordial and helpful the hotel was clean however it was dated but for approximately $40 less then comparable hotels close by I guess you get what you pay for . overall was a good place to sleep for a few hours which is all that it was intended for . The free continental breakfast in the morning was as good as anywhere ...we did not use the pool. Only real complaint would be the doors slamming in the hallway late at night .
Everything was nice and clean. It felt like there was a hole in the middle of the bed. Otherwise, very nice.
It was a good experience! The check-in staff remembered my husband from our last visit this past September!
I was in Meetings at Amway hotel/ Davos center. This property is 5 minutes straight drive. The property is old, could use a major reno but it is clean enough, everything works good enough. Cleaned daily, overall a good budget property.
The place has seen some wear which was not a big concern, but the carpet had not been vacuumed, the bedspread had stains, and overall cleanliness seemed a bit careless. The toilet tank ran continuously making an annoying noise. Desk staff were friendly.

The emerging field of data science will require millions of new specialists over the next few years, but it's a mistake to think that all of them need to be quants. With analysts predicting a shortage of as many as 190,000 Big Data professionals in the U.S. in the next five years, experts such as Betsy Page Sigman, a professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, say smart companies will groom talent from non-data disciplines to fill the gap. "Advances in software, in interface design and things like that will make it easier to analyze Big Data in the future," she said. "So it won't be as big of a technological hurdle."

Commercial Services and Supplies
Company Overview of Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc.
Company Overview
Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc. provides collection services on defaulted debt. Its services include non-tax government collections; revenue recovery for court clients, including collecting past due fines and fees, and court fines and fees; and tax amnesty programs. It recovers a range of debt for various levels of government ranging from federal agencies and cities to counties. The company was founded in 1980 and is based in Arcade, New York with additional offices in Florida, Indiana, and New Jersey. Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Navient Solutions, Inc.
26 Edward Street
Arcade, NY 14009
United States
Founded in 1980
Key Executives for Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc.
Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc. Key Developments
The U.S. Department of Education is winding down its contracts with five private collection agencies, including Navient's Pioneer Credit Recovery, for allegedly providing inaccurate information to borrowers about a loan rehabilitation program. The other agencies are Coast Professional, Enterprise Recovery Systems, National Recoveries and West Asset Management. The loan rehabilitation program is an option that can create benefits to defaulted borrowers after they have made nine on-time payments in a period of 10 months. Agents of the companies allegedly gave borrowers misleading information about the benefits to the borrowers' credit reports and about the waiver of certain collection fees. The department's Federal Student Aid office performed a review of 22 private collection agencies. The department also said that it will reassign accounts held by the five agencies which are not already in repayment to other agencies. The department will increase its monitoring and issue enhanced guidance to all remaining private collection agencies.
About 400 jobs are expected to be lost at Pioneer Credit Recovery in Wyoming County after the company lost a major federal contract to collect on overdue student loans because of protocol violations in the way it carried out its collections work and controversy over whether its parent company overcharged some borrowers. The loss of the contract from the Department of Education is expected to result in a 40% cut in the company's nearly 1,000-person work force. The timing of the impending job cuts is uncertain.

Car Dock Mode not starting Car Dock Apps
I have a Spring Samsung Galaxy S3 and I use an iBolt Dock in my car. When I connect my phone to my ibolt dock, Car Dock mode is enabled, and CarHome Ultra starts and becomes my homescreen. Media Audio plays through dock/aux car stereo and phone calls would play through Parrot bluetooth (turned on/off by CarHome Ultra).
I used Sonalight Text by Voice app, and it has a setting to start when phone is car docked, but it would never start/stop when docked/undocked. I figured it was an error with the app, and got around it by having it start when bluetooth was turned on/off. My bluetooth went out on my car, so now I have phone calls go through the phone's speakers (SUCKS but what else can you do), but Text-by-voice app isn't starting because I'm no long using bluetooth.
I then started using AutoGuard Dash Cam app, and it also has a setting to start/stop recording when phone is car docked/undocked. but it too doesn't want to work when car dock mode is enabled. Because two different apps have this feature and they're both are not working (starting/stopping with car docking) I'm now more inclined to believe its something with my phone/settings. Has anyone else had this issue and knows of a solution? AutoGuard has a "start background recording' widget and when you open Text-by-Voice it starts running in the background, but that's two more things I have to do when I dock my phone in my car, and they take up 2 buttons on my main CarHome Ulta homescreen (prime real estate). AutoGuard has a setting to turn off when charging is disconnected, but I have to open Text-By-Voice app and turn if off when I get out of the car. I rather everything start and stop when I dock and undock my phone.

The e-retailer will spend $775 million for the fulfillment services provider.
Amazon.com Inc. late today said it will buy fulfillment services provider Kiva Systems Inc . for approximately $775 million in cash. Amazon, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, expects to close the deal in the second quarter.
Kiva sells robotic warehouse technology that automates much of the fulfillment process. Kiva's robots use special software that instructs them how to find ordered products on portable racks and bring them to warehouse pick-and-pack stations. Such retailers as Office Depot Inc. (No. 5 in the Top 500), Gilt Groupe Inc. (No. 49), Toys 'R' Us Inc. (No. 29) and Follett Higher Education Group (No. 58) have used Kiva technology.
"Amazon has long used automation in its fulfillment centers, and Kiva's technology is another way to improve productivity by bringing the products directly to employees to pick, pack and stow," says Dave Clark, vice president, global customer fulfillment, Amazon.com. "Kiva shares our passion for invention, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth."
Paula Rosenblum, managing partner of research and advisory firm Retail Systems LLC, says the acquisition appears to be a good fit for both Amazon and Kiva. "The value of good material handling systems is in keeping costs low, and the best materials handling systems have always brought the work to the workers, rather than bringing the workers to the work," she says." Amazon obviously feels that owning the technology will give them a strategic cost advantage in the industry. What does it mean for Kiva itself? Certainly a long and prosperous future is in the cards."
"This acquisition is largely based on technology," adds Colin Sebastian, senior research analyst, Internet and interactive entertainment, at investment banking firm Robert W. Baird & Co. "It's technology that Amazon can use to drive more efficiency and capacity within its own warehouses. I think it also allows Amazon to extend its third party services platform into logistics. I don't expect any changes for Kiva clients, unless they object to Amazon owning the company."
Amazon says it will keep Kiva Systems' headquarters in North Reading, MA. "Kiva customers will continue to receive service and support after the transaction," an Amazon spokeswoman says.
At the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012, Sean Cook, CEO, ShopVisible LLC, and Daniel Yen, CEO, MovieMars.com , will speak in a session entitled "Managing inventory in a hyper-fast world." The IRCE $200 early-bird discount expires March 31.

Marine Staff Sergeant Jeremy Austin was on his fifth deployment when he lost both of his legs in an IED attack in Afghanistan in April 2009. Attacked while riding in a convoy that was returning from a mounted patrol in the Helmand Provence, the floorboards of the up-armored HUMVEE mangled SSgt Austin's legs; the blast leaving him with a fractured pelvis, elbow, ribs, wrist and nose. Unconscious and trapped in the vehicle, his fellow soldiers saved his life, applying tourniquets and helping to prepare him for medevac to a British Field Hospital where his legs were surgically amputated. Transported to Landstuhl, Germany, SSgt Austin was next brought state-side where he endured three corrective surgeries at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Transferred to Walter Reed, SSgt Austin is a resident of the Mologne House and continues to receive therapies there at this time.
