T-Mobile could face a class action lawsuit over claims that it made employees work without pay using mobile phones and email devices. The US suit highlights concerns about employee rights at a time of always-on communications.
Law firm Pelton and Associates in New York has put out a call for people to join a class action over the issue. Class action suits are a way for a single hearing to judge the cases of many people in very similar situations. They can result in payouts of billions of dollars in damages because of the potentially large number of litigants. There is no equivalent form of action in the UK.
According to its court filing, the case is currently being taken on behalf of three former employees of T-Mobile.
It says that the three men were asked to work unpaid by opening and closing T-Mobile shops, arranging rotas and participating in calls while not logged into the company's time-recording system.
"The Complaint alleges that T-Mobile hired retail sales associates and supervisors who were required to work well over forty hours per week yet were not paid wages or overtime compensation for all of the hours that they were required to work," said a statement from Pelton and Associates.
"The Complaint alleges that these employees were issued T-Mobile smart devices and were required to review and respond to numerous T-Mobile-related emails and text messages at all hours of the day and night, whether or not they were logged into T-Mobile's computer-based timekeeping system," it said.
The suit claims that T-Mobile broke US employment law as well as state laws in New York and California.
"The Complaint also alleges that the employees were required to take and place T-Mobile-related telephone calls, participate on T-Mobile conference calls and to work 'off the clock' during scheduled lunch breaks," said the law firm's statement.
"While plaintiffs were classified as non-exempt hourly employees they were typically required to spend 10-15 hours per week reviewing and responding to email, texts, phone calls, participating on conference calls and studying/reviewing corporate documents for which they were not paid any compensation," said the court filing.
T-Mobile told the Wall Street Journal that it was in compliance with the law.
The case highlights growing concern over employee welfare when email devices such as the Blackberry – long nicknamed the Crackberry for its supposedly addictive hold over executives – are becoming increasingly commonplace.
Rutgers University management professor Gayle Porter told podcast OUT-LAW Radio earlier this year that though it seems unlikely now, companies could in the future face successful class action lawsuits over technology use and even addiction.
She said that arguing that people choose to look at devices outside of work hours may not be enough of a defence in court.
"You think, oh it's a personal choice, how could you hold someone else liable for that? [But] we have done it – over and over again. When you look at the history of court actions on things that we might say really are personal responsibility, we have got that piece," she said. "When we look at how litigious as this society is everybody wants to sue for everything."

liberal things for the homeless working women of new york tiie pope's soul players have been offered in roman catholic churches all over the world foi the repose ofthe pope's soul it is strange that any christian should be in doubt about the soul of a good dead man the pope was one of the best men who ever sat in tin chair lie had ids faults he was very inconsistent for an infalli ble person he made many and great mi takes but he was not a great criminal monster like some of his predecessors as the church goes he was an excellent man and died in the odor of sanctity if any roman catholic has left behind him a fair representation for godly living the late pope certainly has but the church is praying for the repose of his soul the roman catholics arc sure the pope has not gone to glory at present and they are praying that it may bo well with him by-and-bv what is their idea of a future state and why do they pray for the souls of the pious dead ? their notion of a future stato is very far from anything revealed iu the holy scriptures the souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness and do immediately pass into glory the penitent thief on the cross believed and the lord assured him to-day shalt thou be with mo in paradise if the dying pope hail received an assurance according to his faith it would bo to-day thou shalt be in purgatory tlie pope and all his people believe that the souls of the faithful go into a stage of purification whore they must un dergo penitential purgatorial fires and wheu the last remains of sin have been by these pains purged away the soul is transferred to the abode of the blessed in glory the duration of this process of purgatory varies according to the num ber of sins to be purged and the number of masses said by the priests for the soul as these are said by the priests for pay it is evident that the length oftho purga tory varies greatly in individual eases for the pope these prayers are said by all the churches everywhere and by many of them with all possible pomp and cir cumstance we may therefore well bc liovo that the faithful will be sure of his speedy passage through these gloomy re gions into the brighter and better abode of the spirits of the just made perfect purgatory is an iuventfoaof the priests who make money out of it it is the grand engine by which the ignorant mul titude are held in subjection to men who aro supposed to have the power of deliv ering the soul from the torments of peni tential fires heel power of a darkey part ofa negro boy's work in cumber land mil is to build a fire every morn

and he crawled out singed anil scared i a sunday law in louisiana a louisana paper gives the following testimony to the beneficent working of a sunday law in that state as follows on tlie tirst sunday ef hist november | the ordinance of the police jury closing all places of business ea sundays and keeping them closed during the entire day lxicame a law throughout the parish the town councils of odelousas wash ington grand coteau and armaudville adopted the ordinance simultaneously with the police jury and thus for the first time iu our history st landry had a sun day law in the country its effects have been most beneficial heretofore planters found it all but impossible to get their employees to work saturdays anyhow they would come to town aud spend saturday in a general debauch and were but illy prepared to go to work on mon day now they spend saturday in town there is no inducement for them to re main over till sunday so they go home saturday evening and on monday are rested and prepared to go to work a a man may ride over our public highways all sunday now and not meet a drunken man six months ago he would have met them by the dozen even between this point and washington screaming whoop ing cursing yelling aud running races endangering the vehicle life and limb ot the quiet traveler iu opelousas the effect of this ordinance has been marked indeed previous to its adoption our streets were filled every sunday with a promiscuous crowd of idlers loafers and traders : some buying ; some selling some getting drunk and creating almost a pan demonium by their yells and screams of all days it was the busiest and requir ed the most aetivo and unceasing vigilance on the part of our town constable to pre vent violations of our town ordinances but what a change this ordinance has pit d need ! there are no crowds of loafers and idlers hanging about the streets no buying uo selliag no getting drunk no rows no arrests no work for the consta ble nor has this change affected busi ness in ( pelousas the least our commer cial houses are doing just as heavy a busi ness as they did before the ordinance went into effect people both black and white from the country instead of coming to town 011 sundays come in and transact their business on saturdays hence sunday is now what the christian dispensation intended it to be a day of rest nor does the present ordinance intend to affect it further than this it has no smack of the old blue laws of connnecti cut about it as some of our coteinporaries seemed to think at the time of its adop tion it forces no

text: Quality and an abundance of ideas are traditional characteristics of VAUEN, which go back 160 years. This means 160 years of skilled craftmanship paired with contemporary technology. 160 years experience with the individual wishes of the pipe-lovers of today and tomorrow. Come with us through the world of VAUEN - the passionate pipemaker - since 1848. In 1848 Karl Ellenberger and his partner, Carl August Ziener turned an idea into reality in Nuremberg. The very first German pipe manufacturing company produced pipes from selected woods for connoisseurs throughout the world. The Vereinigte Pfeifenfabriken in Nuremberg (known in short as VPFN) was brought into being in 1901 with the amalgamation with the Gebhard Ott pipe factory founded in 1866, also in Nuremberg. In this way, a business was created under the management of Ernst Eckert, a scion of the founding family Ott, whose products and services were to attend and shape the culture of tobacco and smoking in Europe and overseas for a long time – for over 160 years now. In the search for a term which would be easy for all pipe friends to remember and not be confused with anything else, Ernst Eckerts son, Adolf Eckert coined a new name for the business in 1909. VAUEN, consisting of the initial letters V (pronounced VAU) from Vereinigte Pfeifenfabriken and the N (pronounced EN) of Nuremberg. A brand name for the future was created. In 1911 Adolf Eckert began marking choice quality pipes with a white dot on the mouthpiece as a distinguishing mark. In the meantime the "White Dot" has become a trademark that is renowned worldwide. This White Dot guarantees a special selection of material, an attractive grain and the highest possible standard of craftsmanship. Export customers receive the White Dot quality with a grey dot. After 1945, Ernst Eckert, son of Adolf Eckert, succeeded in overcoming the destructive effects of the war with an unshakeable pioneering spirit. VAUEN grew to become a business with a worldwide reputation once more. Alexander Eckert, now the fifth generation of pipe maker, has been at the head of the oldest German pipe manufacturing company since 1982. The company, which has been in the hands of the founders' family since it was established, is expanding in importance once again as a result of increased international commitment.

Ruben Ochoa: Watching, waiting, commiserating
MCASD - Downtown 1001 Kettner Blvd., San Diego, California 92101
Ruben Ochoa makes use of common construction materials to create imposing sculptural installations that intervene into the existing built environment. Part of a generation of Mexican-American artists who are engaging in new approaches to identity and cultural politics, Ochoa lays claim to conceptual and minimal art practices from the 1960s and '70s. As playful as it is dynamic, his large-scale installation watching, waiting, commiserating was commissioned by MCASD in 2010 as a response to the expansive Farrell Gallery. Consisting of numerous individual sculptures made of rebar and elevated shipping pallets, the work repurposes the infrastructure of the built environment, creating a space where labor is both literally enacted and abstractly referenced. Ruben Ochoa: watching, waiting, commiserating is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and made possible by proceeds from the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.
Price: Free-$10.

Christianson's Greenhouse
We will be opening in mid-April for our first season in this business. We are not the only greenhouse in the area; we hope to distinguish ourselves by carrying a wide range of heirloom vegetable and herb plants in addition to the usual spring flowers. We plan to grow the vegetables and herbs, and eventually the flowers too, using organic methods, though it is likely we'll never be certified organic.
At present, we are only planning to operate during the spring bedding plant season, roughly May 1 through the end of June, but in the future we may expand into fresh herbs and/or greenhouse-grown vegetables in winter or perhaps year-round. Plants will primarily be sold at the retail store on our property, but we may take them to local farmers' markets or other venues in the summer months.
We are located in southwest Michigan, an area studded with small lakes, many of which are lined with cottages. During the summer, there is a large influx of people from Chicago and other cities in the region who own these cottages, and we expect they will be our primary audience -- partly because we were until recently city people ourselves. But a number of local people have expressed interest too -- of course we'll hope to appeal to both markets.
We have had two different ideas for the shape of the logo: (1) a roundish graphic without words, which we could use alone or with the words Christianson's Greenhouse stacked the right of the logo, or (2) a graphic employing the letter C above and slightly to the left of the letter G, with growing things in or around the letters -- to which the remaining characters in the name could be appended or not. But we're not married to either of these ideas; if you have a better one, by all means let us see it. We tend to prefer spare and clean. Flowers are ok, but no hearts please.
The design does not have to use, but should not clash with, the "Barn Red" paint that is used for accents on various buildings around the place (sorry I can't be more specific about the color). Beyond that, we don't have color expectations. Our primary advertising venue will be local newspapers and newsletters, most of which don't print in color, so the logo needs to work in grayscale as well. We will also use the logo on the sign out front (http://christiansonsgreenhouse.com/logo/), as well as our business cards, website, etc.
Please do not use any clipart or stock images. The font you use should be available for licensing for business purposes at a reasonable cost. Finally, we would like to have the final artwork in .ai vector format.

Landmark New Report Says Emerging
Green Economy Could Create Tens of Millions of New
"Green Jobs"
New York, 24 September 2008
(ILO/UNEP)-A new, landmark study on the impact
of an emerging global "green economy" on the world of
work says efforts to tackle climate change could result
in the creation of millions of new "green jobs" in the
coming decades.
The new report entitled Green
Jobs: Towards Decent work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon
World, says changing patterns of
employment and investment resulting from efforts to
reduce climate change and its effects are already
generating new jobs in many sectors and economies, and
could create millions more in both developed and
developing countries.
However, the report also finds that the process of
climate change, already underway, will continue to have
negative effects on workers and their families,
especially those whose livelihoods depend on agriculture
and tourism. Action to tackle climate change as well as
to cope with its effects is therefore urgent and should
be designed to generate decent jobs.
Though the report is generally optimistic about the
creation of new jobs to address climate change, it also
warns that many of these new jobs can be "dirty,
dangerous and difficult". Sectors of concern, especially
but not exclusively in developing economies, include
agriculture and recycling where all too often low pay,
insecure employment contracts and exposure to health
hazardous materials needs to change fast.
What's more, it says too few green jobs are being
created for the most vulnerable: the 1.3 billion
working poor (43 per cent of the global workforce)
in the world with earnings too low to lift them and
their dependants above the poverty threshold of US$2 per
person, per day, or for the estimated 500 million
youth who will be seeking work over the next
10 years.
Green jobs reduce the environmental impact of
enterprises and economic sectors, ultimately to levels
that are sustainable. The report focuses on "green jobs"
in agriculture, industry, services and administration
that contribute to preserving or restoring the quality
of the environment. It also calls for measures to ensure
that they constitute "decent work" that helps reduce
poverty while protecting the environment.
The report says that climate change itself,
adaptation to it and efforts to arrest it by reducing
emissions have far-reaching implications for economic
and social development, for production and consumption
patterns and thus for employment, incomes and poverty
reduction. These implications harbour both major risks
and opportunities for working people in all countries,
but particularly for the most vulnerable in the least
developed countries and in small island States.
The report calls for "just transitions" for those
affected by transformation to a green economy and for
those who must also adapt to climate change with access
to alternative economic and employment opportunities for
enterprises and workers. According to the report,
meaningful social dialogue between government, workers
and employers will be essential not only to ease
tensions and support better informed and more coherent
environmental, economic and social policies, but for all
social partners to be involved in the development of
such policies.
Among other key findings in the report:
- The global market for environmental products and
services is projected to double from
US$1,370 billion (1.37 trillion) per year at
present to US$2,740 billion (2.74 trillion) by 2020,
according to a study cited in the report.
- Half of this market is in energy
efficiency and the balance in sustainable transport,
water supply, sanitation and waste management. In
Germany for example, environmental technology is to grow
fourfold to 16 per cent of industrial output by 2030,
with employment in this sector surpassing that in the
country's big machine tool and automotive
- Sectors that will be particularly
important in terms of their environmental, economic and
employment impact are energy supply, in particular
renewable energy, buildings and construction,
transportation,basic industries, agriculture and
- Clean technologies are already
the third largest sector for venture capital after
information and biotechnology in the United States,
while green venture capital in China more than doubled
to 19 per cent of total investment in recent
- 2.3 million people have in recent
years found new jobs in the renewable energy sector
alone, and the potential for job growth in the sector is
huge. Employment in alternative energies may rise to
2.1 million in wind and 6.3 million in solar
power by 2030.
- Renewable energy generates more
jobs than employment in fossil fuels. Projected
investments of US$630 billion by 2030 would
translate into at least 20 million additional jobs
in the renewable energy sector.
- In agriculture, 12 million
could be employed in biomass for energy and related
industries. In a country like Venezuela, an ethanol
blend of 10 per cent in fuels might provide one
million jobs in the sugar cane sector by 2012.
- A worldwide transition to
energy-efficient buildings would create millions of
jobs, as well as "greening" existing employment for many
of the estimated 111 million people already working
in the construction sector.
- Investments in improved energy
efficiency in buildings could generate an additional
2-3.5 million green jobs in Europe and the United
States alone, with the potential much higher in
developing countries.
- Recycling and waste management
employs an estimated 10 million in China and
500,000 in Brazil today. This sector is expected to grow
rapidly in many countries in the face of escalating
commodity prices.
The report provides examples of massive green jobs
creation, throughout the world, such as:
600,000 people in China who are already employed in
solar thermal making and installing products such as
solar water heaters; in Nigeria, a bio fuels industry
based on cassava and sugar cane crops might sustain an
industry employing 200,000 people; India could generate
900,000 jobs by 2025 in biomass gasification of which
300,000 would be in the manufacturing of stoves and
600,000 in areas such as processing into briquettes and
pellets and the fuel supply chain; and in South Africa,
25,000 previously unemployed people are now employed in
conservation as part of the 'Working for Water'
Pathways to green jobs and decent
"A sustainable economy can no longer externalize
environmental and social costs. The price society pays
for the consequences of pollution or ill health for
example, must be reflected in the prices paid in the
marketplace. Green jobs therefore need to be decent
work", the report says.
The report recommends a number of pathways to a more
sustainable future directing investment to low-cost
measures that should be taken immediately including:
assessing the potential for green jobs and monitoring
progress to provide a framework for policy and
investment; addressing the current skills bottleneck by
meeting skill requirements because available technology
and resources for investments can only be deployed
effectively with qualified entrepreneurs and skilled
workers; and ensuring individual enterprises' and
economic sectors' contribution to reducing emissions of
greenhouse gases with labour-management initiatives to
green workplaces.
The report finds that green markets have thrived and
transformation has advanced most where there has been
strong and consistent political support at the highest
level, including targets, penalties and incentives such
as feed-in laws and efficiency standards for buildings
and appliances as well as proactive research and
The report says that delivery of a deep and decisive
new climate agreement when countries meet for the
crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen in
late 2009 will be vital for accelerating green job
The report was funded and commissioned by the UN
Environment Programme (UNEP) under a joint Green Jobs
Initiative with the International Labour Office (ILO),
and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)
and the International Organization of Employers (IOE),
which together represent millions of workers and
employers worldwide 2/. It was produced by the
Worldwatch Institute, with technical assistance from the
Cornell University Global Labour Institute.

The Green Jobs Initiative is a
partnership established in 2007 between UNEP, the ILO
and the ITUC, joined by the IOE in 2008. The Initiative
was launched in order to promote opportunity, equity and
just transitions, to mobilize governments, employers and
workers to engage in dialogue on coherent policies and
effective programs leading to a green economy with green
jobs and decent work for all. The ILO is a tripartite UN
agency that brings together governments, employers
and workers of its member states in common action to
promote decent work throughout the world. IOE is
recognized as the only organization at the international
level that represents the interests of business in the
labor and social policy fields. Today, it consists of
146 national employer organizations from
138 countries from all over the world. ITUC is the
International Trade Union Confederation. Its primary
mission is the promotion and defense of workers' rights
and interests, through international cooperation between
trade unions, global campaigning and advocacy within the
major global institutions. The ITUC represents 168
million workers in 155 countries and territories
and has 311 national affiliates. UNEP is the voice
for the environment in the United Nations system. It is
an advocate, educator, catalyst and facilitator,
promoting the wise use of the planet's natural assets
for sustainable development.

CruiseMates: User Agreement and Terms of Service:by entering the CruiseMates Website you agree to the following terms and conditions
CruiseMates.com is designed to help readers obtain information about cruising and cruise ships and discuss ways to enhance their sea-going vacations. This information is sometimes provided by our staff and sometimes by other contributors, many of whom use anonymous screen names and are people we've never met. We recognize that while we have tons of great stuff in this forum, people sometimes post messages in our folders or make statements in our chat rooms that are misleading, deceptive, or downright wrong. They may do this unintentionally or, sad to say, intentionally.
Treat the contributors here the same way you'd treat anyone you'd met for the first time. This is important because anyone can show up in CruiseMates: no invitations are required. You wouldn't make a vacation decision solely because some stranger recommends it; and you should treat the information provided in CruiseMates the same way.
The fundamental concept is that you should NOT rely upon the information or opinions you read. Rather, you should use what you read here as starting points for doing independent research on cruise lines and vacation options. Then judge for yourself the merits of the material that has been shared in our forum.
CruiseMates does not guarantee the veracity, reliability or completeness of any information provided in our forum or in any hyperlink appearing on our site. No one could read through the thousands of messages we receive each day, check out all the hyperlinked web sites, and research each one for accuracy. That isn't why we're here. We're here to help you to learn how to make cruising decisions for yourself, and to have fun.
You are responsible for your own decisions. CruiseMates will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in articles or postings, for hyperlinks embedded in messages, or for any results obtained from the use of such information. CruiseMates will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a reader's reliance on information obtained in our area, or in a hyperlinked area. If you don't accept this responsibility for yourself, then you should not use CruiseMates.
If you ignore our advice to do independent research of cruise lines, travel agents, and independent tour operators, choosing instead to purchase solely on information, "tips," or opinions found in our forum, you have made a conscious, willing, free, and personal decision to do so, and you may have also made a mistake.
As cyberspace develops, the freedom and openness from which we all benefit can make us the target of touts, hypesters, and frauds. These people could infect our forum, just as they infect other parts of the world. Please proceed with caution and do your homework.
According to S.2326, Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 currently pending in Congress Websites must provide notice of its personal information collection and use practices; obtain parental consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from children aged 12 and under; provide parents access to their child's personal information; and establish and maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the confidentiality, security, accuracy, and integrity of personal information on children. CruiseMates supports and conforms with this pending legislation. The minimum age requirement to register with Cruisemates is 13. Any parents of children younger that 13 whose parents discover have registered with CruiseMates by lying about their age may contact us at to retrieve and delete the registration information of their children.
Our Sources In the material and data that we make available in our forum, we rely on a wide variety of sources, such as outside news organizations like Business Wire and PR NewsWire. We believe these sources of data to be reliable, but sometimes they make mistakes, too. CruiseMates makes no claims or representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or truth of any material contained in our areas. Nor are we liable for any errors or delays in the content or transmission of the data on our site. We promise not to lie to you, but we reserve the right to be wrong or stupid.
Our Staff and Writers Our community leader's primary purpose is to keep our forum running smoothly, with politeness and good humor. They perform a variety of tasks, especially answering your questions about cruising and explaining how to navigate our web site. Our staff are knowledgeable about cruising, but to varying degrees and they may have differing opinions. Their opinions are their own. CruiseMates does not regulate what the staff says about a company. In fact, their opinions may differ substantially from each other.
We do not tell our people what they can post or what they can write about. They are drawn from a wide circle of daily life and while they are experienced cruisers they are not to be considered professional travel advisors. Any weight you ascribe to their opinions should be based on their ability to analyze a company or its products and services, the same as anyone else you see in our forum. You should not believe that these people have any additional insight or information simply because they are on the CruiseMates staff.
TERMS OF SERVICE VIOLATIONS If you have been harassed in any manner that you feel is a violation of our Terms of Service it is your obligation to notify us of the offending post(s). Please contact for that purpose.
CruiseMates's Terms and Conditions of Service Welcome to CruiseMates! We hope you'll enjoy and participate in the many services found in our site but first things first: by using our service, you're agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you don't wish to be bound by what you read below, you shouldn't enter the CruiseMates website.

It is your responsibility check back here from time-to-time.

Our Content is Copyrighted All of the content on this site is the property of CruiseMates or the respective writers who maintain their own copyright privileges, and all is protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. By "content" we mean any information, mode of expression, or other materials and services found on CruiseMates. This includes message boards, chats, software, our writings, graphics and any and all other features found on the site - in other words, everything.

We do promise not to make fun of you, unless you suffer a truly embarassing cruise incident and choose to share it with us.
CruiseMates reserves the right to modify your posts in the following manner: to edit the posts by removing words which we deem to be in violation of our terms of service: obscene words or personal attacks. We also rserve the right to use your words for the purposes of advertising as in adding links (which are selected randomly by a computer program) to specific words.
Yes, we know we hear you thinking "what about censorship and free speech." Free Speech only stops CONGRESS from passing a law forbidding the practice of free speech, we are not Congress. Obviously, not every letter to the editor written to the NY Times gets printed. We also reserve the right to selectively edit our message board posts. We will never change your editorial opinion, nor will we edit based on opinion as long as it is expressed in a reasonable manner, however we have had instances when people with an obvious agenda against an individual or company have chosen to bring their grievances to our boards for the purpose of exacting a revenge or to provoke a response. CruiseMates does not exist to fulfill the needs of any one individual, it exists for the good of all. Negative opinions are welcome, but blatant repeating of the same negative information purely to dominate every conversation and re-direct it to one's own negative agenda will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to maintain the decorum in our boards by deleting messages for any reason.
While it is our policy to try to contact the authors of non-compliant posts to tell them why their post was deleted, failure to contact does not excuse anyone from these rules. It is your responsibility to follow our guidelines.Conduct CruiseMates encourages active and open debate among our members. All we ask is that it's done in a lawful and civil manner. Accordingly, you agree to use CruiseMates for the terms in this agreement only. You may not use or allow others to use your computer to:
- Post or transmit any content that is abusive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, defamatory or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person, company or legal entity.
- Post or transmit any material that you don't have the right to transmit under law (such as copyright, or trade secrets) or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as nondisclosure agreements).
- Post, transmit or link to sexually explicit material;
- Impersonate any person, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
- Post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials or other forms of solicitation including chain letters and pyramid schemes.

- Intentionally violate any other applicable law or regulation while accessing and using our site;
- Offer, sell or buy anything.
- Post or transmit any file that contains viruses, java applets, ActiveX, corrupted files, "Trojan Horses" or any other contaminating or destructive features that may damage someone else's computer.

CruiseMates may at any time, without prior notice and at our sole discretion, remove any post, picture or terminate your membership for violating the above provisions. You agree to indemnify CruiseMates and hold us harmless from any actions, claims, proceedings or liabilities arising out of these terms and conditions. You're responsible for all statements made and acts that occur through the use of your user name. So please don't disclose your password to anybody. If it has been lost or stolen, let us know as soon as possible and change it immediately.
Posting Guidelines CruiseMates readers and contributors agree to disagree respectfully. If you disagree with an opinion set forth, challenge that opinion, but please refrain from ever attacking the person who asserted it. We will not tolerate personal attacks. The many people who read through our message boards do so primarily to locate information and opinion. We encourage opposing opinions generating a lively discussion, but when the differenece of opinion begins to resemble the Wide World of Wrestling we must take steps. Any CruiseMates member knows that people want information, entertaining reading, and friendly guidance. We aim to preserve it for them; and we believe you do, too.
Please format your posts to look like traditional Funk and Wagnall's English. That means employing capital and lowercase letters in a traditional manner. . . neither all caps, nor all lowercase. Using all capital letters is known as "shouting" on a board, and it makes the message an eyesore.
The Editors cannot, and will not take the time to answer e-mail cruising questions. Thus, please submit all such questions to our message folders themselves. (You'll reach a much larger audience.) We've tried to set up CruiseMates so that there's a folder for just about everything. If you don't get a question answered on the boards, ask it again. . . someone will eventually get to it. If you don't see a proper message board for your question, request the start-up of a new message folder in the message board "suggest a new topic." We're not rude; we just have a job to do.
You're in Public PLEASE BE AWARE that anything you post in any of the CruiseMates folders may be excerpted. While e-mail is your business, the message boards are part of the CruiseMates Online. Reiterating: Your posted notes may be excerpted by CruiseMates.
Copyright Violations RULE: It is a violation of our Rules -- and more importantly, United States law -- to copy into our message folders any articles from copyrighted sources like The Wall Street Journal. Such postings may be a violation of copyright law. Contributors may summarize articles and post an occasional sentence or two, but not the entire piece. Violators of this Rule may be subject to account termination without notice. Articles copied into our folders in their entirety will be removed. [PRNewswire and BusinessWire articles may be posted in their entirety since they are republications of press releases.] REASON: We don't want anyone stealing our material, so we insist that you likewise respect other people's work.
No Advertising or Solicitation RULE: It is against our Rules to advertise or solicit business any place in CruiseMates without our permission. This Rule is strictly enforced, and if violated, may result in the termination of your account or you might receive an advertising invoice to pay for our services. Solicitation includes, but is not limited to, requests to be e-mailed, the posting of phone numbers for your business, and the posting of one's own Web site address, if that site has a substantial commercial element to it.
No Touting, Hyping or Other Disruptions RULE: The posting of notes which are unrelated to the folder title is a violation of our Rules. The same is true for the posting of messages that are solely designed to disrupt the conversation or annoy its participants. CruiseMates reserves the right, to be exercised in our sole discretion, to delete any such messages and to proceed with account termination without prior notice if we see it occur. REASON: The message folders lose their usefulness if they are filled with off-topic promotional messages or messages that are posted just or the sake of mischief. Our readers don't like it, and we won't tolerate it, as it destroys the usefulness of the folder. A forum like ours is useful only to the extent that the people who use it do so in good faith.
No Spamming RULE: It is a violation of our rules to "spam" a folder or folders, by posting the same note on multiple occasions in a single day. Repeat violators of this rule will have their account terminated. REASON: The folders are for discussion and analysis. If a member frequently repeats the same message, it becomes difficult to have an intelligent discussion of anything.
It is a violation of our user agreement to collect the email addresses of our readers from our site for the purposes of solicitation. Anyone who violates this rule is subject to revocation of their registration status. In addition, CruiseMates will not be held liable for any consequences that result from the dispersal of unsolicitated email by unknown third parties to our readers.
Off-Topic Discussions Our message boards are for the purpose of discussing cruise vacations. Questions about CruiseMates as a business, or debates about our terms of service are not cruise-related questions. We consider our internal business matters to be private, and we choose not to open them up to discussion in our message boards. Not only is it not in our best interest, it is no one's business but our own. Plus, we know the vast majority of our readers are not interested. Our message boards are not run by democracy, we own the boards and since we pay to provide them to you for no charge at our time and expense, we choose what topics are not open to discussion.
Respect the Moderators and other CruiseMates Staffmembers. The first we thing wqe ask you to understand is that we are here to do our best to help you. We have no desire or reason to do anything else. In return, we expect the proper decorum and civility you give to any person who os solely trying to help you. In addition, we do not work for you and therefore we are absolutely not required to adhere to any requests for specific information about ourselves or any other topic.
We do our jobs to the best of our ability, if that is not good enough for you then go elsewhere. We don't ask our posters for their qualifications to do their jobs, and we expect the same courtesy from you. Discussions about CM staff are off-topic. This board is about cruising. When someone asks a cruise question and we try to answer it seriously, to be confronted with personal questions or comments about our personal qualifications as a result is frustrating and distracting. It prevents us from helping you and others to the best of our ability. Confrontational personal questions are attacks, plus they steal the topic away from the original question.
Plus, we absolutely assure you that message board moderator are solely here to help and that we do our jobs with the blind eyes of justice. We do not look at the poster, we look at the message. Sometimes people get the idea we "do not like them" personally. This is not true or even relevent; it wouldn't matter. We are judges and umpires here, looking to help people with cruise advice to the best of our ability. We can be wrong at times, and we can accept someone disagreeing with us, but we do not seek out confrontation, and we certainly don't enjoy people who do not know when enough is enough.
Especially, we will not discuss CruiseMates business issues or answer terms of service questions in the message boards. If we get asked questions about our business, or personal questions, we may ask people to ask us by private message or email, but we will not engage in one-on-one discussions about our professional or personal qualifications, or private lives, in the forums. We may just delete a post if it is obviously just a rhetorical attack in the form of a question.
Disclaimer of Warranties and Liabilities CruiseMates provides a broad range of information, commentary and entertainment. We can't and we don't warrant the completeness or accuracy of the content found in our areas, or its usefulness for any particular purpose. CruiseMates also makes no promises that our content or the service itself will be delivered to you uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.
You agree that under no circumstances will CruiseMates be liable for direct, indirect, incidental or any other type of damages resulting from your use of any information provided on our site. This includes, but is no way limited to, loss or injury caused in whole or in part by our negligence or by stuff beyond our control in creating or delivering any portion of CruiseMates.
One of our principle tenets here at CruiseMates is that the best person to handle your vacation is YOU and by your use of our service, you agree that you bear responsibility for your own vacation research and decisions. You also agree that CruiseMates will not be liable for any decision made or action taken by you or others based upon reliance on news, information or any other material published by CruiseMates. CruiseMates relies on various sources of information that we believe to be accurate and reliable. However, we make no claims or representations as to the accuracy, completeness or truth of any material contained on our site.
No Waiver If any provision in this Agreement is invalid, unenforceable or nonsensical, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. This Agreement is and always will be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York (except with respect to choice of law). You agree that the proper forum for any claim arising under this Agreement will be the U.S. Court for the Manhattan District of New York or the appropriate New York state court.

Twins And Gardenhire Agree To Two-Year Contract
The Minnesota Twins have agreed to a two year contract with manager Ron Gardenhire. Gardenhire has been the manager of the team since 2002.
Only eight managers in MLB history had retained their jobs after three straight 90-loss seasons, with Gardenhire becoming the ninth. Tom Kelly lost at least 90 games from 1997-2000 with the Twins before improving the team in 2001 and ultimately walking away.
Gardenhire has a 998-947 record as the manager of the Twins, with a 6-21 record in postseason play. Three of those wins came in a first round playoff win over Oakland in 2002.
A press conference announcing the move is expected later Monday afternoon.
