Colo Cruiser Posted May 26, 2006 #154 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I am surprised that Princess Cruises would not have assessed this choice more thoroughly. There has to be some great choices out there; Martha Stewart is not one of them. I agree 100%. There are a lot of non felons to choose from. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdjam Posted May 26, 2006 #160 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I just heard on the news that Ken Lay is much loved in Texas because of his very significant philanthropic work. If Princess decides to have one of their new ships sail from Texas, Lay may be a good candidate for Godfather, assuming of course he is out of jail by then. If so, this will mean he has paid his debt to society, been reintegrated into society, and is thus worthy of the honor, especially in light of the may good things he has apparently done. Finally, someone has seen the light. The difference of course is in the charges that the two people were found guilty of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaerobear Posted May 26, 2006 #161 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Not all the pictures of Godmothers are in the atrium, on the Coral it is in the piano bar. The Godmother is June Allison, so we renamed the bar "the depends Lounge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&J Posted May 27, 2006 #162 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Update for the "Martha Lovers"....Martha Stewart to fight SECAssociated PressFriday, May 26, 2006 NEW YORK — Martha Stewart, who completed a five-month prison sentence a year ago for lying about her sale of ImClone stock, has decided to fight rather than settle civil insider trading charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.In an 11-page response to the SEC complaint filed late Thursday with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Stewart denied allegations that she used nonpublic information when she sold 3,928 shares of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in December 2001. Instead, she said she ”acted in good faith.”Fighting the charges offers Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., the chance to reclaim her CEO and chairman titles. But another public trial could deal a blow to the company and reverse the turnaround that it has made so far over the last year.Some legal experts believed it might be in Stewart's interest to settle the charges since she has still been able to wield considerable influence over her multimedia empire.The June 2003 SEC complaint — filed the same day Ms. Stewart was indicted — was stayed until criminal proceedings were completed. With Ms. Stewart's criminal appeals recently exhausted, the SEC lifted the stay last month.”We took these charges seriously then, as we do now,” said Bruce Karpati, assistant director of enforcement at the SEC, in a statement. ”Now that the judge has permitted the case to go forward, we plan to vigorously prosecute this case of illegal insider trading.”The original SEC complaint seeks to bar Ms. Stewart from working as a director and to limit her responsibilities as an officer of a public company. Ms. Stewart resigned as chairman and CEO at Martha Stewart Living in June 2003 after being indicted.Ms. Stewart was convicted in March 2004 for lying to federal prosecutors about selling ImClone shares a day before the Food and Drug Administration announced it had declined to review ImClone's application for its cancer drug Erbitux. The FDA announcement sent ImClone shares plummeting.Ms. Stewart has maintained her innocence, saying she had an agreement with her broker Peter Bacanovic to sell ImClone shares when it fell to $60 per share. She resigned from the Martha Stewart Living board a week after she was convicted, maintaining her title as founder.According to legal experts, by not settling, Ms. Stewart will now have to sit through a deposition. She could invoke the Fifth Amendment, refusing to testify.If Ms. Stewart loses the SEC case, she faces up to three times the losses avoided through her trades of ImClone, the SEC said.”Although the SEC's complaint seeks to bar Ms. Stewart from being the officer or director of a public company, we are confident that nothing about this civil litigation will prevent Martha from continuing to do all the wonderfully creative and inspirational things she currently does for the company and its customers,” Elizabeth Estroff, a spokeswoman at Martha Stewart Living, said in a statement released Thursday.Ms. Stewart has made a successful comeback at her multimedia empire. Stewart, who also served five months of home confinement, has reclaimed her status on TV and on radio, with ”Martha,” the company's newly syndicated daily show and the new Martha Stewart Living Radio channel on Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.And advertisers, who fled amid her legal woes, are returning, particularly to the company's flagship magazine, Martha Stewart Living. That has resulted in overall strong revenue increases and improvements in the bottom line.For the first quarter, Martha Stewart Living reported a narrower loss on a 60 per cent revenue gain.The company, under the stewardship of Susan Lyne, president and CEO, has branched out with new projects that don't bear Ms. Stewart's name, such as a new lifestyle magazine for women called Blueprint, which hit newsstands this month.© The Globe and Mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafig Posted May 27, 2006 #166 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Not all the pictures of Godmothers are in the atrium, on the Coral it is in the piano bar. The Godmother is June Allison, so we renamed the bar "the depends Lounge" I don't know why June Allison's picture is in the piano bar, but it's not because she's the godmother of the Coral Princess. The godmother is the President of Panama. We were on the maiden voyage, but the christening was a few weeks after and we watched it on the ship's webcam.

Cuizer2 Posted May 29, 2006 #168 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think Martha is esteemed enough to be godmother of a ship. she has accomplished great things for a woman. Did she use insider trading to make money, probably, in her position, I probably would have too, who wouldn't. So the fact that it is illegal doesn't bother you?
