Is Shareholder "Say on Pay" Working?
For years, CEO pay rose largely unchecked in America. Although leaders who build great companies deserve pay commensurate to their accomplishments, too many underperforming or lackluster CEOs make astronomical amounts of money at shareholders' expense. It's odd that one class of workers tends to make millions -- often without a performance review.
Dodd-Frank made say-on-pay votes mandatory, giving shareholders a chance to vote "yea" or "nay" on the CEO compensation policies at the companies they own. Shareholders are increasingly not only aware of their proxy ballots, but also marking them, occasionally voting overwhelmingly against outsized pay and other corporate policies.
Although these votes are always nonbinding, shareholder activism and several years of vote results may be giving boards of directors a bit of a reality check from owners of public companies. Maybe the message is starting to get through.
Stepping outside the usual
The Wall Street Journal recently reported data from a Hay Group survey of proxy statements filed from May 2013 through the end of January. Overall, median CEO pay increased by 4.1% in 2013. One particular point of interest, given the way CEO pay usually works, is that the increase actually paled in comparison to the median returns those companies' shareholders enjoyed -- a whopping 25% at the companies surveyed.
CEO compensation overall has increased rapidly for years, even in times when the overall economy and corporate performance faltered. CEOs enjoyed one of the first major "recoveries" in a stunted economy, even as many Americans received pink slips or filed for unemployment.
According to the AFL-CIO's annual account of CEO-to-worker pay ratios, in 2012 that ratio reached 354 to 1. In 1982, the ratio was a mere 42 to 1.
On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal also reported separately that so far this proxy season, more shareholders have been supporting pay packages. Towers Watson has performed an early survey of 170 Russell 3000 companies showing that an average of 93% support for pay policies compared to 90% last year.
Further, the Journal reported that even proxy advisory firms seem to be standing down a bit, with Institutional Shareholder Services having recommended that only 4% of companies get a thumbs-down on CEO pay, compared to 14% last year.
Perhaps several years of high-profile pressure have made some corporate boards try harder to tie compensation to performance.
Taking a little less
Overall, CEO pay is still in the stratosphere, but the increased focus on the fairness of executive pay is a step in the right direction. Cutting CEO pay after difficult years is a sensible policy right off the bat, as is avoiding shareholder ire by rethinking pay policies.
Darden Restaurants , for example, has had a rough time lately, suffering from slowdowns in its major restaurant chains, Red Lobster and Olive Garden. Just last week, Darden reported disappointing third-quarter results revealing a 20% decrease in net income and slipping same-store sales at both chains.
Activist investors have targeted Darden, taking issue with the company's plan to unload the Red Lobster chain and recently even suggesting that CEO Clarence Otis be let go.
While Darden isn't what I'd call a great investment right now, to Otis' credit, he has taken a pay cut during choppy times. His compensation fell 24% to $5.9 million when the company's fiscal year ended on May 26, 2013. Shareholder return had already dropped 4% that year.
Mondelez International CEO Irene Rosenfeld's compensation fell by half last year to a total of $14 million, and she's not getting a raise this year. Although part of her drastic cut relates to a $10 million bonus she received last year, recent financial tidings haven't given shareholders much reason to approve a big payout for Rosenfeld.
As has been the case for years, Oracle's Larry Ellison was a list-topper when it comes to massive pay. However, last year his compensation did decrease by 19% to $77 million. The reduction didn't unseat him from the top spot, but he did decline an extra $1.2 million because the company's growth didn't meet expectations.
Further, rumblings of shareholder discontent may have caught some attention, and surely his rejection of the bonus probably offered little consolation. The majority of shareholders have voted against Oracle's pay policy two years in a row, and three directors only received 60% of the votes for re-election.
Logic-based pay
Investors often come down on opposite sides of this issue, which is understandable. Rewarding leaders who do great work is hardly irrational. What's irrational is the widespread failure to make sure CEOs actually earn millions upon millions of dollars. Rewarding CEOs for underachievement gives them little incentive to excel, and this backward logic has prevailed for too long.
The proxy season is nowhere near over, and shareholder votes at major companies will continue to roll in. So far this year, though, there seems to be a relative shortage of drama and only a few pay decreases.
Perhaps the lull in CEO pay outrage means more boards are listening -- and, hopefully, acting accordingly.

Vermont helps students with personalized learning plans
HINESBURG -- Abby Trombley wasn't feeling challenged in school.
So with the help of her parents the high school sophomore enrolled in classes at the University of Vermont and developed a job shadow with an orthopedic surgeon.
"This made such a monumental difference in me because I was able to create an environment where I was challenged, engaged and really interested in what I was learning," said Trombley, a student at Champlain Valley Union High School on Wednesday.
"And I think that much more students would take advantage of these opportunities if they knew they were available."
State education officials agree -- the Vermont Agency of Education launched a website on Wednesday to help schools, students and parents prepare for such plans.
Based on legislation passed last year, each student eventually will develop a personalized learning plan that matches their career interests and aspirations with their learning, which could include internships and college courses.
Starting next year, Vermont schools will develop plans with seventh and ninth graders and other grades will follow, officials said. Schools and parents will help the students to develop them and have the chance to review and revise them each year.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, who is dyslexic, told the assembled CVU students and staff he wished he had access to such a planning and learning program.
"The idea here is -- whether you are dyslexic like me and don't learn traditionally or whether you excel traditionally or whether you're somewhere in the middle -- our job is to have an educational system where everybody succeeds and everybody learns to their potential," he said.
Besides Trombley, the state has seen other students who were struggling in school and weren't thinking about college but succeeded after taking advantage of more flexible ways of learning, state Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe said.
"The key to personalized learning plans is to taking the time to sit down with the students and ask where you want to go and figure out the best way to get there," she said. "We have the same high ambitions for all of you but we know you have to walk different paths to get there."
About half of Vermont schools offer some type of personalized learning now, state education officials said, and almost 1,300 students take or have taken college courses as part of dual enrollment in the 2013-2014 academic year. That's up about 30 percent from 789 in 2012-2013.

Big 12 Sports.com Correspondent
It was 35 years ago when the Brothers Selmon started a three-year reign of tackling and sacking the likes of which has never been seen again.
Playing for Oklahoma in 1973, Lucious Selmon was a senior on his way to becoming a consensus All-American and the Big Eight Conference's defensive player of the year. During that 1973 season, he was joined on the Sooners' defensive line by younger brothers Dewey and Lee Roy. That season, the brothers combined for 234 tackles and Lee Roy had nine sacks.
A sophomore, Lee Roy Selmon was just starting a memorable Oklahoma career. It culminated with a consensus All-America season in 1975 and the Outland Trophy.
"He won the Outland that year but I would have given him the Heisman and all the other awards," said Oklahoma State's Derrel Gofourth, an offensive lineman who was twice named All-Big Eight Conference and was an All-American his senior season. "He's a great individual and the best player I ever faced."
That's a familiar theme when Lee Roy Selmon's career is mentioned. Oklahoma coach Barry Switzter, who coached 23 players who were named All-Americans during his 15 seasons, said Selmon was the best player he ever coached.
For a school with a rich tradition of outstanding players, Oklahoma naming Lee Roy Selmon as its Big 12 Legend makes perfect sense. He'll be honored along with 11 other Legends during the Dr Pepper Football Championship in Kansas City Dec. 5-6.
"They could have selected any number of great players who have played at the University of Oklahoma," Selmon said. "For them to have selected me is beyond anything I could have imagined. I can think of 20 other people who deserve it."
The Selmons grew up on a farm in Eufala, Okla. The youngest of nine children, Lee Roy never imagined playing college football or attending the University of Oklahoma.
"Dewey and I wanted to go to college but we knew it was out of range financially," said Lee Roy, who in 1999 was one of six defensive tackles named to Sports Illustrated's All-Century Team. "When Lucious got the chance to go to Oklahoma, we were excited for him. A couple of years later, we had schools recruiting us and we chose to follow him.
"It was the right decision. It made our college years a lot of fun. Playing with my brothers in college was special. It was one of the greatest times of my life."
In his three years as a starter, Oklahoma went 32-1-1 and won two national championships. And in 1975, he not only won the Outland Trophy, he was named a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete. Selmon earned his degree in education while devoting 10 hours a week to volunteer service.
Selmon was drafted by Tampa Bay, an expansion team, and became the first Buccaneer to earn a spot in the NFL Hall of Fame. He remained in the Tampa area after retiring from the Bucs and helped with another "expansion" team.
In 1993 he joined the University of South Florida as associate director of athletics. Selmon helped the school start a football program that has become a consistent winner. The Bulls reached a No. 2 national ranking last season and will play in their fourth consecutive bowl game this season.
"How often do you have a chance to be on the ground floor of something," Selmon said. "It's neat to be a part of that and I've been able to do that twice. I looked on helping start South Florida's program as a chance to give back. I would not have been able to go to college without a student-athlete scholarship. It was no brainer for me to get involved.
"As long as you can keep a level head and know you're not anybody than anyone else, that you just have an opportunity to play sports, your obligation and commitment is to help your fellow man."

February 26, 2007
By Paul Feinberg
In the current feature film Freedom Writers, Hilary Swank stars in the based-on-a-true-story of an idealistic Long Beach, California high school teacher who sets out to make a difference in an inner-city school and to change the lives of the students least likely to have their lives changed.
The teacher Swank portrays is Erin Gruwell. As described in her bio, Gruwell and her students (inspired by Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic who lived through war-torn Sarajevo) "captured their collective journey in The Freedom Writers Diary – How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them. Through poignant student entries and Erin's narrative text, the book chronicles their 'eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding.'"
The book became an international sensation and the lives of Gruwell's original students – the Freedom Writers themselves – were forever changed, with all 150 of these once "unteachable" teens ultimately going to college. And if the story ended there, it would still make for a great movie.
But the story doesn't end there. Today, Gruwell is president of the Freedom Writers Foundation, an organization now dedicated to spreading her educational philosophies, theories and message to other teachers, so that they might be implemented in classrooms around the country.
But Gruwell can't do the work alone. Described by the Executive Director at the foundation as "the visionary," she needed someone by her side that could assist her with execution. That person is Faye Walsh ('08), a current UCLA Anderson student. Walsh is a second-year in the Fully-Employed MBA program (FEMBA), splitting time between the classroom and the board room of the foundation.
Walsh believes it's serendipity that she and Gruwell are working together. She first heard of Erin in 1994, when, after a small article appeared in the Newport Beach Daily Pilot, her Aunt Polly approached the educator and asked "How can I help?" Aunt Polly became Gruwell's first in-class volunteer and spoke of her experience to her niece.
In 1999, Walsh was working for the prominent law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, with an eye towards eventually attending law school. She decided to become a volunteer in Gruwell's campaign for Congress and now says, "I haven't turned back since" though there were some detours along the way. Gruwell lost that bid for congress by less than 1,000 votes. "It was devastating," Walsh says, "We felt like we were changing the world."
Walsh then took a position in Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher's Paris office, working in business development. During her three year stay in France, she concluded that she didn't want to be a lawyer and focused on marketing.
She eventually returned to California and re-united with Gruwell, who asked her to help get the Freedom Writers Foundation off the ground. It was at this time that Walsh made her first UCLA Anderson connection. Ric Kayne ('68), CEO of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and member of Anderson's Board of Visitors, was the Foundation's first fund raiser. According to Walsh, Kayne asked Gruwell the essential question:
"Can you bottle the secret sauce?"
Kayne knew that Gruwell had achieved great success in the classroom. He also knew that there was only one Erin Gruwell. What he wanted to know was, could the Foundation spread the Gruwell-gospel and educate other teachers to utilize the methodology. Walsh and Gruwell believed they could and the pair became partners. It's a partnership that works. "She is the dreamer," Walsh said, "I help turn the vision into reality."
The partners knew they had a good story to tell and one of the first orders of business was to mesh that story with a business plan. Kayne suggested he work with one of their consultants to that end. That consultant was UCLA Anderson Prof. Bill Cockrum. "I was drawn to Bill," Walsh recalled. "He cared about teaching and he believed in us. But he also felt we needed polish." Walsh wrote a business plan with Cockrum providing tough-but-helpful assistance. The plan led to additional funding for the Foundation.
The experience also inspired Walsh to earn an MBA. Cockrum encouraged her and helped steer her towards Anderson. It was the only program to which she applied. Walsh briefly entertained the notion of entering the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, but chose be become a FEMBA instead.
"I love the FEMBA program," Walsh said. "I couldn't imagine not working while going to school. I'm a second year and it's been an incredible experience. I love the diversity of the student body and I'm lucky to combine the experience with a unique professional life."
Though only at the halfway point in her studies, Walsh has already seen her education make an impact on her work. "I go to class and immediately apply the theories and knowledge I've learned." She cites her courses in organizational behavior and human resources as being "surprisingly beneficial; she now notes that the importance of learning to work with and manage people is the most valuable skill a manager can have and quotes Prof. Barbara Lawrence when noting that, "If you cannot manage people, you will never successfully manage a business."
With the release of the film in December, this year proved to be a particularly busy one. School, she says, is sometimes a respite from her job, an intellectual escape during which she gets to reflect on everything she is working on. She says that some of her best ideas for work come during class. And she is quick to point out how supportive the Anderson community has been. For example, Prof. Andrew Ainslie allowed her to study her own company as a class project, to help her best manage her work and educational lives as the film entered theaters.
Then, there is the film itself.
The release of Freedom Writers, is, Walsh says, "Amazing … the single most powerful marketing tool that anyone could ask for." The task now, is to work to leverage the film and use it to take the Freedom Writers Foundation to another level.
As executive director, Walsh's task is to oversee the program side of the foundation's work, while also managing the budget, overseeing the seven full-time staff members, interacting with the Board of Directors and executive board, seeking new revenue streams and, well, the list goes on and on. She also accompanies Gruwell on the road to many of the latter's 100+ speaking engagements per year. The programs are three-fold. The first is the teacher's training program. The second are the curriculum and materials (and includes interfacing with the book's publisher, creation of the teaching guide, distribution and managing future product lines like DVDs.) The third program is a scholarship program for the original Freedom Writers, many of whom are still in school.
On top of everything are the fundraising, marketing and sales of books and materials. The foundation seeks diversity in revenue streams, bringing in dollars through additional grants, book sales, royalties and in-kind donations. (The movie itself is no longer a source of revenue; the filmmakers paid originally for the rights to the story and those funds were invested in the company. But the foundation does not share in the film's theatrical royalties.)
All the while, Walsh remains focused on the foundation's long- and short-term goals. In the short term (18-months), they have plans to bring five times as many teachers into the fold than they have in now, from 30 to 150. They plan to triple the $500,000. a year budget and build the educational credibility of the foundation by showing real results through the educational experiences of the children being taught via the foundation's methods.
For the long term, she says the goals include continuing to build the institute, and institutionalizing the Freedom Writers methodology not only through students, but through the teachers coming into the program.

Good tips, Rudy, especially the list making, only I keep misplacing my lists.

It is said that "failure is the stepping stone to success". Education is an intrinsic part of your overall development, but for the same you have to incur expenses. it may be that you are not financially stable and you might not want to pursue higher studies. Do not let trivial matters like financial crunch to doom your career. It is for students like you that the loan market is offering higher education loans.
In the present, it is impossible to alienate money from important matters. If you want something, then you are required to spend some. In the absence of finance, you will not be in a position to undertake education of your choice. Higher education loans are just designed for individuals like you. With the aid of these loans, you can take care of the various expenses such as paying admission fees, tuition fees, hostel accommodation, purchasing study materials, books, and computers and even to tackle personal expenses. Thus, it can be said that the loans present a one stop solution to all your educational needs.
Further, these loans are categorized in to secured and unsecured form. Secured form of the loans can be availed only by pledging collateral. if you do not own any asset, your parents or guardians can fill In for you by attaching their asset. This option of the loans is perfect to borrow a larger amount. On the other hand, unsecured form of the loans is just the opposite. There is no need to pledge any collateral. This option of the loans is ideal to borrow a limited amount.
The terms and condition for the loans is very lenient. First of all, you are not at all required to make repayment after availing the loans. Instead, you can complete your education and after getting a suitable job, you can start repaying. The interest rate levied too is comparatively low and depends a lot on your financial circumstances and repaying capability.
Higher education loans can be sourced easily from banks; financial institutions etc. if you want to obtain the loans without facing too many complicacies and hassles, prefer to apply online. Always look for the loans that come with feasible terms and conditions so that you get the best of the education.

Dolphins general Jeff Ireland just announced that the Dolphins have resolved their nose tackle issues.
The team's new starting nose tackle is Randy Starks.
"[Coach] Tony [Sparano] talked to Randy about it today," Ireland said. "The quote he gave was, 'I'm at home there.' "
Not really certain I was hearing correctly that the team moved it's best defensive end to nose tackle, I asked Ireland if Starks had to compete for the starting NT job. He said Starks is indeed penciled in as the starter.
That has definite repercussions.
First-round pick Jared Odrick, Kendall Langford and Phillip Merling will compete for two starting jobs at defensive end.
Paul Soliai remains the team's backup nose tackle. And Jason Ferguson, out the first eight games of the season while serving a league-imposed suspension, can probably ease in and take fewer snaps per game than in the past. That, by the way, is a good way for Ferguson to stay healthy.
Also, the Dolphins are likely moving away from the classic 3-4 to a hybrid version where the nose tackle is often offset to one side or the other of the center. In the past, Miami's nose tackle was seemingly always over the center's helmet.
Most importantly, the move puts the draft in a different light. Before this announcement, everyone believed the Dolphins needed to address the nose tackle and free safety position on Saturday.
Now we know they have a need at free safety, having addressed defensive end (Odrick), wide receiver (Brandon Marshall), nose tackle (Randy Starks), and outside linebacker (Koa Misi). That's a pretty awesome way to spackle holes on the roster.
I like it.

Oblivion (April 2013)
Directed by Joseph Kosinski ('Tron: Legacy', or if you didn't like the film then he also wrote and directed the 'Gears of War' commercial "Mad World"), 'Oblivion' is an original sci-fi film (adapted from Joseph Kosinski's comic of the same name) about a repairman on a post-apocalyptic Earth (brought about by an alien invasion?). Tasked with repairing drones (whose purpose is to collect vital information left on Earth after an exodus), Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) slowly discovers secrets about his life (and the world) that puts the future of humanity in his hands.

I don't know....I'm kind of sick of Tom Cruise, I can't watch & respect a man who in real life worships scientology.
Plus this is just another movie for Tom to run away from his gay thoughts....

I'm going against popular opinion and state out loud that I don't give two hoots about Scientology.
I've always enjoyed Cruise's movies, and I see nothing from what's been parceled out so far to deter me from eagerly anticipating this next movie of his.

I get that it was a joke, I just like that family guy scene and just not a fan of Tom cruise. Stop taking your hate of family guy out on me just because you clearly worship Futurama (even though it is excellent)

I love Tom cruise the actor, but i hate Tom cruise the man with a passion. I remember years ago he was doing an austrailian interview and the guy asked him about his relationship with katie holmes and Tom became so angry he threatened to end the interview right away!, then the week after he was proclaiming his love for her on Oprah jumping up and down on the chair....yeah i really hate him.
Apart from that the movie was great i just seen it lol

It was good. Nothing really to write home about (the music and cinematography were the best features, then the very nice CGI work). I think I appreciated the film more than I liked it. This was a very competent and well designed "mature" sci-fi drama. I say mature because the film treats its audience like they are intelligent individuals that can appreciate a more character-based sci-fi drama rather than a simple blow-'em-up.
Very simple story with some decent character beats, even if everything felt a little rote, cliche, and too simplistic at times. Still, I vastly prefer even this underwhelming sci-fi film to soulless extravaganza sci-fi films like the Transformers series and that particular ilk of the genre. True, there could have been a far more compelling storyline involved, but what we have is almost elegant in its simplicity and design. It's hard to actually like Oblivion, but it is even harder to dislike the film. 70/100.

Unlike some others, I don't expect an art house film out of everything I watch.
I give it a 90/100. For big-budget hollywood sci-fi films, I can't think of anything better in the last few years.
Tom Cruise, due to numerous reasons, is probably one of the most under-rated Hollywood (again, emphasis on Hollywood) actors of his time, and I think he delivered another fine performance.

Hey, All! First post here.
Saw the film on opening night in IMAX (my first time seeing a feature-length film in that format).
My biggest problem was that of my eyeballs drying out, because I only blinked about once every three minutes!
Certainly the most beautifully-designed Science Fiction film I've yet seen.
Of course, now I have to see it again on a digitally-projected IMAX, because our theater used 70mm film, and the image was a bit on the blurry side. But the GRANDEUR certainly came through on that first viewing!

this was actually a pretty good movie. i was happy with it. the twists weren't something i saw coming, and Olga Kurylenko was beautiful in the movie. not to mention Oblivion is in my top 25 most played songs on iTunes.
