...movement is that CEOs get paid a market rate and say-on-pay votes undermine the very nature of corporate governance - a board of directors charged with luring and keeping the best talent. In the rebuttal statements to say-for-pay proposals found in their annual proxies, companies lay out all sorts of counter-arguments. IBM says there's no way that shareholders can know what's an appropriate pay practice since they're not privy to competitive information like which executives are receiving other job offers. Coca-Cola stresses that shareholders already have a way to deal with...
...Princeton, are already part of the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association, the official league started by Middlebury College students in 2005. Muggle Quidditch is played just like wizard Quidditch—for the most part. The game includes equipment such as broomsticks, golden goal hoops, Quaffles, Bludgers, and a Snitch (in lay terms, balls). But without bewitched broomsticks and bewinged Snitches, the game has a few differences. Muggle (non-magic) players keep their feet on the ground, holding a broom between their legs, and play in confined areas such as soccer fields. A live person runs on and off the field...

With money rapidly running out, and no good offers on the table, the board may well opt for filing bankruptcy to stave off creditors and force lay-offs and an organizational overhaul. Italian officials say most service would likely continue while the financial restructuring is underway...
...confirms to many Sadr's breath of power and the limits of Maliki's. Three days into his poorly executed military campaign on Basra - initially commended by Washington as a decisive show of strength by the government - the Prime Minister extended by ten days a deadline for militants to lay down their arms. Now, despite what the U.S. Embassy and Coalition forces have called a successful run in Basra, Maliki appears to have eased the pressure off the Mahdi Army entirely...
