To free herself from an upcoming arranged marriage, Claudia, the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, a futuristic prison with a mind of its own, decides to help a young prisoner escape.

Add a Commenthard core fans are going to hate me, but this story was only amusing i didn't even feel that i needed to reach the end. This book was predictable with characters with overused personalities. Read something else
can't really skim or else the details become a little confusing, but a very original story, i think
A very unique and beautiful book that everyone should read.
Incarceron is refreshingly inventive in its world building, although many basic elements may be found in other books (e.g. the prison warden's daughter falling in love and aiding a young prisoner escape in Stendahl's The Charterhouse of Parma). The pacing is brisk from the beginning and builds speed on the way. Without spoiling anything I can tell you that not everyone is just as they seem, not even the sentient prison itself, and some characters' loyalties are questionable. There is a movie script being shopped around Hollywood for Incarceron (imdb.com) so this series (there is a second book which others say doesn't wrap everthing up) may soon become a must read. It is well suited to being a film.
I really enjoyed reading "Incarceron": The story was original, well-plotted, well-written, and a good blending of sci-fi and fantasy elements. There was a number of unexpected twists throughout the book, but in the end, everything came together like opposite poles of a magnet :-) Very cool, very exciting. I am already well into Book 2 (Sapphique) and can really recommend this book to everyone who likes a love for details and a really unique storyline.
this was great but the second is BLAND JUNK lolz
Very good read for anyone who loves the attention payed to details. Despite the fact that I thought it was filled up with some unnecessary details, liked it very much. I only wish the ending was a bit different, and that the story wasn't dragged out the way it was. I knew that Finn was actually Giles immediately when it discussed the Havaarna mark on his wrist...
I enjoyed this book. The whole idea of the plot is remarkably unique, and though not refreshing, definitely gets your brain juices flowing. I don't think it was too confusing at all, though my one complaint was the perspective switching, because it really did get annoying at times. Nonetheless, I really love the two different realms idea, and of the futuristic, yet aristocratic vibe of the book. Overall, a very nice teen, science-fiction book. A little long, and yeah, a little bit boring in parts, but worth reading because of the intrigue.
A very good book. Gets a little confusing if you read it too fast. But, by the end it makes sense. I can't wait to start the next one!
A good story-but if you want something really good, I suggest the Seven Realms series.

Add a SummaryFinn is a prisoner in Incerarceron, a prison that only one man has ever escaped from. His storyis shrouded with lies and is not clear. Finn and his friends try to find their way out of this pit of darkness and they find a key. This key is the key out of Incarceron. Finn meets a girl from the OUTSIDE. Her name is Claudia and she says that she is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron. With Claudia's help Finn tries to escape from Incarceron. He realizes that Incarceron is alive.......
This book is slightly reminiscent of City of Ember. It is about a sentient prison, which was loaded up with all the scum of society one hundred sixty years before the story takes place and then sealed. Inside it are murderers, thieves, madmen, dreamers, and many innocents, all of whose ancestors were placed in Incarceron to take part in a utopian experiment. However, life in Incarceron is dark, brutal, short, and completely unsuited to Finn Starseer's gentle nature. Finn has no memory of who he is or where he comes from. All he has is a tattoo on his wrist, a desperate desire to know his past, the aid of an old dreamer whose only wish is to Escape Incarceron, and a crystal key. Meanwhile, on the Outside is a world that has been frozen in time. Claudia is the daughter of the powerful and distant Warden of Incarceron, an intelligent, well-trained woman who is trapped into a political marriage with the dissolute prince of her world. Wanting nothing more than to escape this marriage and reveal what she believes to be a great wrong to her country, Claudia breaks into her father's forbidden study and discovers a key identical to Finn's, containing a hologram of the emblem of a former dynasty.
Centuries ago it was decided that all criminals were to be sealed into a prison that would help them to create the perfect paradise. They were gathered and along with the wisest teachers they entered Incarceron. However, paradise was never reached...Incarceron was sentient and it was always watching its inmates, as they fought, as they stole, as they killed each other. Finn, doesn't know how he came to be in Incarceron. His first member was waking up in a cell deep in Incarceron three years ago. He was initiated into a group of thieves and has been revered as their "star-seer." But Finn knows he came from the outside and that he needs to get back and when he finds a key he knows it is time to escape. Claudia is the daughter of the warden of Incarernon. As such she knows what is expected of her. She is to behave, follow her lessons and eventually marry the crown prince and become queen. Her wedding day is almost upon her and Claudia is desperate to escape her fate when she discovers a key locked in her father's office.

O'Shea saw his side pushed all the way by their visitors before clinching a win in the final stages of the match.
"Disappointing game - no momentum," was the damning verdict from director of rugby O'Shea.
He added: "It was the second week in a row that the opposition have given away 20 penalties against us.
"I hope their front five are alright because every single time there was momentum in the game there was a player getting injured. I hope they're OK.
"Bur we had plenty of our own things we didn't do well. It's a win - that's all you can say. We're pretty disappointed.
"There was just no flow, no momentum, no nothing in the game.
"We gave them an easy try off the kick-off, trying to play, then we conceded another soft try.
"It's a good lesson. We've won it and the guys dug themselves out but there's a lot of frustration in the way that game flowed. Twenty penalties is a heck of a lot.
"It wasn't a good game of rugby, not enjoyable but we'll take the four points."
Worcester stuck to their task despite having opening try-scorer David Lemi and No 8 Semisi Taulava sin-binned but there were no apologies from rugby director Richard Hill for the way they disrupted the Quins game.
He said: "You have to do that to Quins. They like a fast, frantic game but that's the way it is."
Hill was, however, concerned about the 20 penalties his side conceded, and the fact that his scrum came off second best.
"The referee was really hot on the breakdown and we weren't rolling away.
"We weren't really listening to him because we were perhaps too keen to try and turn the ball over. We have got to learn from that.
"Looking at the front fives, we thought we should have dominated the scrum with the age and experience we had but it didn't happen."
But Hill was happy with the spirit his side showed to come away with a losing bonus point against the leaders, who only snatched victory thanks to a late drop goal from fly-half Nick Evans, who contributed 17 points.
"I was very pleased with the performance and the effort that went in," he said.
"We have had that passion, intensity and desire at home and tonight it was about trying to replicate that away from home.
"The players gave everything and we had a real belief that we could win.
"To come here and outscore them by two tries to one was a psychological boost for us.
"We are back on track and looking forward to playing Perpignan in the Amlin (Cup) on Thursday."

The body of a 52-year-old Seattle man was removed from a crevasse on the upper slopes of Mount Rainier on Wednesday, a day after a stumble in an inopportune place cost him his life.
Lee F. Adams, a microbiologist, was dragged into a crevasse along with the rest of the climbing party Tuesday when the last of the four climbers on the rope caught a crampon on the ice while descending the mountain.
"He took a lively step off a snow bridge, caught a crampon and fell," park spokeswoman Lee Taylor said of the climber who fell. "It's sad that such a tiny little human error would have such dire consequences."
The climber was unable to stop his slide and, as he picked up speed, the other climbers to whom he was tethered were one by one pulled off the route. They slid about 100 feet down a 45-degree pitch before being swallowed by the 35-foot-deep crevasse.
Two landed on a false floor and were not seriously hurt. The third, a 19-year-old man, injured his leg.
Adams was the lead climber on the rope and the last to fall into the crevasse.
The names of the surviving climbers were not released, but Taylor said they were a father and his 19- and 16-year-old sons, all of whom were friends of Adams.
Adams was the third fatality on Rainier since June 5 and is the 98th known climber to perish on the mountain.
The surviving climbers climbed out of the crevasse about 13,000 feet up the mountain on the Emmons Glacier and went to the ranger's cabin at Camp Schurman, 9,440 feet above sea level. They arrived about 3 p.m. and reported the accident.
By Wednesday morning a helicopter was able to drop two climbing rangers on the 14,411-foot summit of the mountain so they could find and recover Adams' body. The helicopter also dropped rangers at Camp Schurman to hike off the mountain with the two uninjured climbers.
The injured 19-year-old climber was flown to the south side of the mountain and then taken to the incident command center at Longmire. He declined medical treatment for his injury, Taylor said.
Adams, a native of Maine, enjoyed climbing recreationally for the past 30 years and made numerous ascents of Rainier. His brother, Ellis Adams, told KIRO-TV he was "extremely safety-conscious, very careful."
Ellis Adams said there was nobody to blame for the fatal fall.
"It was an accident, pure and simple," he said.
Adams and his party were climbing the Emmons Glaciers route to the summit, the second-most used route to the summit.
Climbing rangers said the routes are in good condition, which is typical this time of year. The guide services continue to operate as normal and one guide, George Dunn of International Mountain Guides, plans to make his 500th summit Friday on the Disappointment Cleaver route, the most used way up the mountain.
The three fatalities on the mountain this summer involved independent climbers.
"We have had a lot of fatalities on the mountain this year," Taylor said. "But if you look at all three, you see that each is different. This is not indication that the mountain is not in good condition."
On July 4, 57-year-old Eric Lewis of Duvall disappeared after he apparently unclipped from a line while trying to reach the summit with two other climbers.
Searchers found Lewis' backpack, climbing harness and snow shovel at 13,600 feet, and a snow cave at 13,800. His body has not been recovered.
On June 5, Mark Wedeven, 29, of Olympia, disappeared after he was hit by an avalanche. Climbing the mountain alone on a day when climbing rangers and guides deemed the upper mountain unsafe, Wedeven was at 12,000 feet when he was swept away. His body has not been recovered. The slide hit 10 other climbers and three had to be dug out of the snow.
This year's deaths end a four-year run without a climbing fatality.
From 1998 to 2005 there was an average of 0.18 fatalities per 1,000 climbers. The park's climbing program was honored by the National Park Service last year for its safety run on the upper mountain.
The climbing rangers, the work of the three guide services and increased education for climbers were all cited as reasons for the long stretch without a fatality.
Staff writers Stacey Mulick and Jeffrey P. Mayor contributed to this report.

Had a question about the materials that the boards have been made out of. Are their differences in the quality of the materials that were used pre-2011? Are the boards stronger pre-2011 or are they the same? I know that I have a 2010 and a 2011 and they seem similar to me and was wondering if anyone knows the differences.
All I know is that I love these boards and cannot get enough surftime with them.
Thanks Nev for resurrecting my shortboard career.

Ah, 1960. A time when you could get totally obliterated at work, as long as you were drinking some type of whisky from a tumbler. The worst punishment for sexual harassment was a smirk. Doctors would smoke cigarettes on airplanes filled with asthmatic toddlers and no one would bat a bloodshot eye.
The little town of Eureka is populated almost exclusively by gadget-obsessed geniuses, which makes it the exact polar opposite of According to Jim. The residents are constantly inventing new contraptions that have a tendency to go nuts and completely screw up the lives of the town's inhabitants, often to hilarious, if extremely nerdy, results.
Plot:The series opens with a bunch of young and verbose soldiers taking on a live-fire training exercise in Kuwait. You're introduced to some of the main characters and prepared for the mount of cursing, sex-talk and racial slurs you're about to hear. Most of the early scenes are spent trying to establish the crushing boredom involved with waiting around to go and kill people, which puts the focus on the dialog. It's all very Full Metal Jacket-like, but unfortunately doesn't have nearly the same flair or authenticity. About halfway through an episode full of bickering, and people calling each other "faggots," the troops hit their vehicles and drive to another place where they wait around for a while. I understand that they're trying to convey how boring it is before an invasion, but I really could've done without it. It's like watching the prequel to The Fast and the Furious where Vin Diesel sits around taking the driver's test at the DMV.
Since Lost hit the air, companies have been losing money every Friday, because all employees want to do is search for conspiracy theories on the internet and stand around the water cooler arguing about why that fat guy wasn't losing any weight.
Two of the guys behind HBO's awesome series, The Wire (David Simon and Ed Burns), adapted a Rolling Stone journalist, Evan Wright's account of his time in Iraq into a seven part miniseries. Since the information was recorded first-hand, it should provide a pretty accurate account of what it's like to sit around for hours, waiting for someone to come and shoot at you.
A lot of times, when a movie is an epic piece of crap, the studio opts not to have any press screenings in hopes that enough suckers will go see it Friday night and they'll make their money back before everyone realizes it sucks. The Dark Knight was the opposite, though, having enough advanced screenings that even Internet writers and people with blogs like Ilikemoviesandwritelikeasecondgrader.com had no trouble getting in. Why? Because it's an awesome movie and everyone knew it.
The kick-off of Comedy Central's post-primetime Thursday line-up has Dave Attell at the helm of their remake of a classic wacky variety show. It's kind of like America's Got Talent, only it doesn't completely suck. Every week a new panel of judges, including hilarious people like Andy Dick, Brian Posehn and even Dave Navarro.
Comedy Central's history with gameshows is a little spotty—Win Ben Stein's Money anyone? But after watching the premiere of Reality Bites Back, I'm convinced that this one is a total winner.
With Reno 911! done for the season, Comedy Central put 10 up-and-coming comedians in a house and made them compete in twisted versions of popular, but terrible, reality shows. Shows getting the comedy treatment include American Gladiators, The Amazing Race and even The Biggest Loser.
Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, Watchmen is one of the most revered graphic novels ever written (and the only graphic novel to make Time magazine's Top 100 English-language novels). The project has been in development for ages, gone through the hands of countless directors, and at one point it was thought to be "unfilmable." Director Zach Snyder must have been feeling ambitious after the smash success of 300. The story revolves around a group of aging costumed super-heroes who take their tights out of retirement after a fellow "mask" is found dead. Rating: RStudio: Warner Bros.
The latest addition to Will Smith's eclectic collection of big-budget action flicks positions itself as the anti-super hero movie in a summer full of comic book transplants. You didn't see any little kids calling Ironman an asshole and The Hulk sure didn't shove anyone's head up anyone else's ass. Well, at least not in the theatrical version, but maybe on the DVD…probably not, though.
Will Smith takes on the roll of a down-on-his-luck superhero that splits his time between getting hammered and fighting crime. He relies on a relentlessly positive PR guy, played by Jason Bateman, and his hot wife, played by Charlize Theron, to give his image an overhaul.
Thanks to the complete dearth of decent programming during the summer season, America's Got Talent is one of the top-rated shows on TV at the moment. I tried watching it, but quickly grew tired of the parade of annoying fat people they bring up on that stage to dance, sing and do stupid magic tricks. Apparently they sneak something interesting in there once in a while, or at least that's what I gather from the clip posted above in which a woman named Busty Heart crushes some cans with her, well, enormous cans.
NBC's updated and somewhat watered-down version of The Gong Show puts a variety of acts at the mercy of judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne and some bitchy British guy no one has ever heard of. It's a hit during the summer off-season, primarily because it competes with absolutely nothing and requires absolutely 0% of your brain capacity to watch.
There are plenty of unrated and director's cut DVDs chilling out on the shelves of the local big box store. Sadly, the majority of them are just a marketing ploys trying to separate you from your rapidly-shrinking entertainment budget. But the movies listed below actually benefited from another trip to the editing room.
During the first run of Gladiators back in the '80s, it was pretty clear that the contestants were supposed to be the good guys and the Gladiators were supposed to be the flat-top having, steroid-fueled villains. But, thanks to NBC's ability to pick the most annoying people in the world to fill the contestants' spandex, it seems like the foam-padded tables have turned.ContestantsThe women's contest, however, was chock full of gimmicks, pitting a 52-year old Asian woman named Yoko (red) against a 20-year old college student named Annie (blue) with a Boston accent closely resembling Mark Walburgh's in The Departed.The men this week were fairly generic, consisting of Alejandro (blue) an Army vet who served in Afghanistan and works with dolphins (there are tons of those in the desert, right?) against an overzealous camp counselor, hilariously named Tim Oliphant (red).
When I got the screener for the Burn Notice pilot last year, I was a little skeptical about whether or not Jeffrey Donovan was going to be able to carry a show as a spy, especially since the only thing I really remembered him from was The Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. I still regret the hour and a half of my life I sacrificed up to that thing. But Burn Notice turned out surprisingly good and I found myself pretty excited for the premiere of season two.PlotIt starts where last season left off, with Michael thinking he's finally going to meet the woman that brought his spy career to a screeching halt. Of course, she no-shows and instead burdens him with the task of helping an extremely nerdy computer hacker complete a job with a private military that makes most of its money doing stuff to African villagers that makes Blood Diamond look like The Air Up There.
A former spy gets a pink slip (also known as a "burn notice") from his employer leaving him at the mercy of a mysterious women who gives him assigments over the phone. He gets help from his hot, but crazy ex, Fiona (played by the super-hot, Gabrielle Anwar), his wacky buddy (Bruce Campbell) and his annoying mom.
Released on a weekend that many people are looking at as merely a warm-up for inevitable orgy of Batman nerdiness to come next weekend, the second installment of Guillermo Del Toro's comic adaptation turns the monster factor up to 11.
There are lots of hard-working single moms out there, but this one isn't pulling double shifts at Denny's to keep her kids swimming in Trapper Keepers. She deals weed. The show recounts the sordid lives of the rich people that live in an affluent California community and makes the rest of us poor people feel just a little bit better about ourselves. Plus, it gives Kevin Nealon someting better to do than host "Funniest Commercial" compilation shows on TBS. After watching Weeds, it's not hard to believe he's actually using that money to buy weed.Network: ShowtimeAirs: Mondays at 10 PM
Have you ever been around a nerd when they are trying to be funny? It's like being kicked in the balls by a level seven warlock dragon master. See? Geek and funny are a worthless combination. Which is why the genre of Sci-Fi comedy has been populated by cinematic failures (see Howard the Duck, Earth Girls are Easy, or The Adventures of Pluto Nash).
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red.

Outrageous Salaries Sponsored By For Profit Healthcare
MSNBC has published a list of the 10 highest paid CEOs in America for 2011. While going through the list, a couple of names really stuck out:
9. Ronald A. Williams
- Company: Aetna
- Total 2010 compensation: $57.8 million
Shares of Aetna, a major health insurer, were down 7 percent in 2010, underperforming the S&P 500 by a large margin. Williams' pay was based on several factors, none of which was stock price. EPS, pre-tax operating margins and an increase in the dividend were the major measures of his performance, according to the board. The board can make the case, persuasively, that the insurance firm had a good year financially in 2010. The company's EPS rose from $2.84 in 2009 to $4.18 last year, even though revenue fell slightly from $28.3 billion to $27.6 billion. Williams retired in 2011. The board gave Williams a relatively reasonable gift as he left, at least based on 2010 performance.
How many Americans could be insured with say only half this man's salary? A lot!
When you first glance at those numbers, it doesn't appear to be that great of a year for the insurer. I mean they ended up earning almost $750 million less than the year before, but there are other factors that go into that, like the number of American's who are unemployed and uninsured and people having to take lower policies to save money.
But the healthcare bill, that many on the right said would hurt the insurance giants, appears to not be having that affect when they can pay salaries like this.
Coming in at second we have this one:
2. Joel F. Gemunder

Opera and RomanticismSounds Romantic: The Castrato and English Poetics Around 1800J. Jennifer Jones, University of Rhode Island |
There was a spot, My favourite station when the winds were up, Three knots of fir-trees small and circular, Which with smooth space of open plain between Stood single, for the delicate eye of Taste Too formally arranged. Right opposite The central group I loved to stand and hear The wind come on and touch these several groves Each after each, and thence in the dark night Elicit soft proportions of sweet sounds As from an instrument. "The strains are passed" Thus often to myself I said, "the sounds Even while they are approaching are gone by, And now they are more distant, more and more. O listen, listen how they wind away Still heard they wind away, heard yet and yet . . . — William Wordsworth
He had a voice proportioned to his gigantic stature,
extending beyond the ordinary compass near an octave, in
notes equally clear and sonorous. At the same time he
possessed such a degree of knowledge in the science of
music, as he might be supposed to have derived from the
instructions of the skilfull Porpora, bestowed on a
diligent and favourite pupil: with unexampled agility and
freedom did he traverse the paths . . . [of] success,
till he became the idol of the Italians, and at length of
the harmonic world.

Anarchy And Art
Product DetailsAuthor Name: Allan Antliff Binding: Paperback Book Condition: New Publisher Arsenal Pulp Press ISBN Number 1551522187 / 9781551522180 Seller ID 9781551522180
The coupling of Anarchist political movements and art is not a topic likely to attract broad interest yet the issues dealt with by author and art historian Antliff (Anarchist Modernism) in this collection of essays have greater range than the politics of the extreme left. One typically enlivening chapter is devoted to the personal reminiscences of Susan Simensky Bietila a painter on the scene of the American student movement of the 1960s; among stories of student strikes and absurdist performance art-like protests she relates her struggle with art professors at Brooklyn College who insisted that fine art could not have explicit political content. That debate is central to Antliff's work and the implications he draws in these eight scholarly essays carry resonance beyond the political questions used to frame it. Bookended by an argument between French 19th century leftists Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Emile Zola and the fall of the Berlin wall (overlapped by the first Gulf War) with stops in 1880s Paris New York during WWI post-Revolution Russia and McCarthy-era America among others. Antliff's latest will prove lively and thought-provoking work for art students and scholars. 16 color plates.

Are These Stocks Worth Avoiding?
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In a previous article linked here I discussed some of the stocks that worked for my portfolio in the last quarter. Now I want to review some stocks and articles that I have been negative on. I'm aware that some people cannot tolerate any slight perceived criticism over the stocks that they hold, but the mark of a good investor is that of someone who has the discipline to always stay objective when he (or she) is investing his hard earned money. So let's use the Fool community to try to help each other become better investors.
Visions of China
The situation in China is concerning and I think the market is still too complacent about the risks here. Forgive me but I am a (partially reconstructed) free marketer. So while I can look at China and applaud the productivity improvements generated by shifting resources towards the the free market from collective control, I am also aware that it is still a communist country whose rulers are more interested in staying in power than anything else.
It is a country that weakens its exchange rate by printing its own currency and buying US Dollars. This can create local asset price bubbles. Let me put it this way, if you are flooding your markets with your own currency (in order to weaken it) and your populace doesn't have a range of asset classes available to buy then is it any wonder that this money will end up local housing speculation?
I've been negative on the China related plays.
Stock | Link | Return Since Article |
Joy Global | JOY Link | -28.8% |
Caterpillar | CAT Link | -16.1% |
Vale | VALE Link | -26.8% |
Rio Tinto | RIO Link | -17.8% |
Joy Global is in a difficult position right now and is being hit by a double whammy of US natural gas taking market share from coal in electricity generation and moderating growth in China's fixed asset investment causing coal production to slow. In my opinion these are structural problems and won't be resolved in the near term. Caterpillar is also exposed to heavy construction and its prospects will partly be determined by how China manages to stimulate fixed asset investment in future.
As for Vale and Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), both these stocks are classic mining plays on global growth and emerging markets in particular. A lot of people miss the point that much of Brazil's (and Russia's for that matter) growth is dependent on supply China's resource needs, so in a sense, Brazil is a play on China's growth. Rio Tinto has probably outperformed the others thanks to its gold and silver operations but it's not enough to cope with declines elsewhere.
An Ugly Quarter for Technology
Many tech names got beat up over the summer and I was no stranger to this with a couple of my stocks faring badly. Here are a few of the stocks I've written about and made negative conclusions over:
Stock | Link | Return Since Article |
FB Link | -35.5% | |
Hewlett-Packard | HPQ Link | -25.6% |
Rackspace | RAX Link | 12.3% |
Nokia | NOK Link | -27.4% |
The standout is Rackspace, which has performed well, in line with the rest of the cloud computing sector. However, I still have doubts. Top line growth may well be very impressive but for the reasons articulated in the article I am cautious over the underlying cash flow. I'm not convinced that this business is scalable. Moreover the principle of outlaying substantive capital expenditures on gear with high depreciation rates for customers whose demand can wane in the short term is one that I am not comfortable with.
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has had a troubled start as a public company. There is a difference between liking a company or its service and liking it as an investment. Frankly, I 'unlike' analysts dropping estimates in the middle of an IPO. I unlike its prospects in dealing with the migration to mobile or that it went public without really outlining a clear pathway to generating revenues from mobile. And above all, I unlike the fact that Zuckerberg seems to want carte blanche usage of users' data and information and yet comes across as one of the most guarded CEO's I have ever heard on a conference call. Of course if you don't like it, there is a solution: Don't buy the stock.
On a more consensual note, I think most people would agree that Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) is facing some very difficult issues in its core markets of printing, pc's and notebooks. It is also not a dominant player in storage and the Autonomy acquisition has disappointed and threatens to use up even more of the management resources. This is going to be a very tough turnaround for Meg Whitman to pull off. There is a huge amount of debt on the balance sheet and free cash flow declined in the last quarter. Its end markets are hugely competitive and it's difficult to see what divestitures it could make that would attract healthy prices.
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is another former tech champion fallen on hard times, but I confess I think the outcome could be happier here. It has a very strong balance sheet and a strong brand name in key emerging market economies. The challenge is to find a way to reduce operating income declines. Nokia's balance sheet does give it some time on its side in order to restructure. For those who think that a takeover bid for the company is unlikely because a deal doesn't make sense, I would point out that not all cash-flush IT CEO's make sensible deals! I would also observe that it would fit very well with a Chinese company looking to buy market share and strip down the cost structure.
Value Outs Itself
One thing I've observed is that value based defensives seem to have done well in the markets despite little positive earnings news flow.
Kellogg (NYSE: K) looks challenged by a weakening cereal category and from some poor execution issues. It is very hard for food companies to take pricing in developed markets in this environment; throw in rising prices for food stocks like corn and you have a perfect margin squeeze. Kellogg's last quarter wasn't particularly good and it guided lower than analyst estimates. However, the outlook appeared to get a bit clearer and the stock went higher. Right now, the market is rewarding good yielding stocks with perceivably stable earnings even if they are not performing particularly well.
It is a similar story with Campbell Soup Company, or even in technology with Cisco, which is trying to morph into a value proposition.
There is a lesson to be learned here. Investors are very keen on yield in this environment, even if the companies paying it are not performing particularly well. Whether this will work going forward is open to question but an investor looking to diversify his portfolio and his investment style will take heed. Value will out itself.

Paris St.-Germain took a star-studded lineup to the Mestalla to face Valencia in their Round of 16 Champions League match last Tuesday. The former Serie A stars Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore tormented the Spanish team's defense throughout a 2-1 victory. It was another player, however, one who formerly plied his trade in Italy, that caught many eyes.
Marco Verratti marshaled the midfield for P.S.G. with his pinpoint passing and precise tackling all over the field. An Italian international, Verratti was imperious throughout his debut in the knockout rounds of the competition. His absence through suspension for the return match will certainly rank closely to that of Ibrahimovic (who is also suspended) in terms of importance after the display.
Before his Champions League effort, the 20-year-old Verratti spared the Italian national team's blushes and a sixth successive friendly defeat with an excellent late strike against the Netherlands on Feb. 6. In so doing, he staked his claim for a starting place in the team with the Confederations Cup on the horizon in June. His unstoppable rise from the peninsula's third tier to the pinnacle of European soccer only looks set to continue.
The playmaker made his name during his hometown club Pescara's Serie B victory last season, which set off the subsequent summer-long race of Europe's top clubs to secure his signature. His remarkable range of passing as the fulcrum in midfield during the title run led the Delfini faithful to nickname him Il Gufetto di Manoppello — the Owl of Manoppello — for his vision in the middle of the park.
Verratti's pinpoint passing exploits began to attach attention from a much earlier age, however. Milan offered him a place in its academy after a daylong trial in 2007, yet the teary 14-year-old decided to stay put in Abruzzo. "My only focus was to break into Pescara's first team," he later said, after what proved to be an inspired choice, since it gave him the necessary time to develop at his own pace.
In the two years after his near-move north, Verratti became central to Pescara's plans. The club was struggling financially during his breakthrough season, and was forced to resurface under a new name. It contrived to achieve promotion from Lega Pro to Serie B that year in spite of its issues, and with Eusebio Di Francesco on the bench the club even managed to consolidate a place in Italy's second division.
Verratti was deployed as a No 10 throughout his young career, but the arrival of recently departed Roma tactician Zdenek Zeman in the summer of 2011 saw him shifted to a deep-lying role in order to facilitate the Czech's attacking formation. Verratti excelled in his new position as a regista, and in an incredible campaign pulled the strings in midfield to exploit the finishing prowess of Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne. Zeman's approach of all-out attack ran the opposition into the ground, and the Delfini netted an unprecedented 90 goals in 42 matches to gather attention from all over Europe.
Comparisons with the Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo began to litter any conversation about Verratti. The composure both men demonstrate on the ball, and the manner in which they consistently find space deep in their own half to control games was frighteningly similar. Their arrogance to attempt passes the majority of players could not even fathom also excited Italian supporters.
Cesare Prandelli latched on to Verratti's abilities at the back end of the Serie B campaign, and he included him in Italy's preliminary squad for the 2012 European Championships. He ultimately did not make the final cut for Poland and Ukraine, but the intent was there to guide him into Prandelli's team. "I am living a neverending dream at the moment," Verratti said.
Speculation about Verratti's future plagued the Delfini soon after, with Juventus the early leader to secure him as an understudy to Pirlo after it was revealed that Verratti had been a Bianconeri fan as a child. Negotiations involving Juventus representatives and the newly promoted team's president, Daniele Sebastiani, proved lengthy, but without any solution.
Paris St.-Germain fended off the competition to add to their Italian contingent by signing Verratti for $16 million in July. The promising youngster was forced to settle into life in the French capital alongside a host of marquee names despite never playing in a top flight.
The move sparked outrage up and down the Italian peninsula, as one of the country's most promising youngsters was "exported."
"Nobody believed in the boy," his agent Donato Di Campli said. "Marco transferred abroad because the fact is nobody in Serie A believes in youth anymore."
The simple fact was the no club could afford to take a risk on such a perceived luxury.
Lured to Paris by the presence of a countryman, Carlo Ancelotti, patrolling the sideline at the Parc des Princes, it was believed Verratti would be integrated into the team gently. Impressive displays in Ligue 1 early on, however, turned him into a mainstay in the midfield.
Despite his being replaced for a short period by another fellow countryman, Thiago Motta, Verratti has become virtually indispensable to P.S.G. The issue of homesickness during his Milan trial more than six years ago has disappeared, and he has fit into life in Paris seamlessly.
The doubts that Verratti's move was premature have subsided, and with every passing week he is establishing himself on the European stage. The "next Pirlo" tag may also be shifting as he form his own unique habits and looks to permanently etch his name into Italy's starting lineup.

Man dies in 'freak' tractor trailer accident in Oak Park
OAK PARK — A Detroit man was killed while helping to connect a trailer to a tractor truck and a metal plate struck him stuck him in the face after a hydraulic system was activated, police said.
"It was a freak accident," said Oak Park Public Safety Lt. Samantha Kretzschmar. "When the driver started to activate the hydraulics a piece of metal shot out and hit the victim in the face and neck area."
Police said the man, Thomas Lusby, Jr., 36, was with another man outside LPC Landscape Services, 12851 North End just before noon Monday when the incident happened.
Lusby was knocked to the ground by the force of the blow from a metal plate that was part of the tractor-trailer connection system. The Oakland County Medical Examiner did an autopsy on Tuesday anddetermined Lusby died from a broken neck and a severed aorta.
Kretzschmar said the L-shaped metal plate weights about 15 to 20 pounds and appeared to be used as a spacer in the connection between the trailer and tractor truck.
"Everyone was horrified," she said. "He didn't bleed to death. We found him on the ground and it was the force of the blow that hurt him and knocked him to the ground."
No one else was injured, police said.
Lusby was pronounced dead at the scene and he was transported to the medical examiner's office.
Lusby was helping the driver of the truck attach the trailer when he was killed. Police said they don't expect to charge anyone in connection with the death because it was accidental.
However, Kretzschmar said the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate the accident further. MIOSHA typically investigates workplace injuries and fatalities to determine whether adequate safety standards are in place at work sites.

Michael Terheyden on 'Why I am Catholic: Confronting Postmodern Culture'
The Catholic Church is going to lead the way like it led the West out of the Dark Ages around 1000 years ago
The world is an amazing place, and as a young man I was dying to "cut the cord," so I could dive in and explore it on my own. When I left home for college, I finally took the plunge. But the world around me was changing fast, and I surfaced in a strange new world. It was exciting, but there was something unsettling about it.
This strange new world stripped me of much that I had known. That was not hard to do I am sorry to say. Then it tried to fill my head with strange ideas and beliefs, and I willingly allowed it. But these strange ideas and beliefs did not take root and bear fruit within me. They withered and died. (I now realize this was grace working in my life.) The world I am referring to is Western culture.
Confronting Western culture was one of the most significant experiences of my faith journey. The other was confronting Catholicism, but that part of my story comes much later. My initial experience of Western culture involved searching for truth and meaning in liberal studies and the sciences. It also involved taking a hard look at our secular society and trying to make sense out of it.
This experience caused me to wonder why Western culture is the way it is? I wondered about this for many years, and the best answer I have come up with is Postmodernism. For all practical purposes, one of the key reasons why I am Catholic today is because I came to reject the postmodern view of the world. Therefore, in this article I will discuss our culture in terms of Postmodernism and the role it played in my faith journey.
I believe Postmodernism best describes the culture in which we are living. It is the dominant world view in the academic, cultural, media, legal, and political communities today. It is increasingly what our children are being taught in school, what we hear in popular music, and what we watch on TV. So understanding Postmodernism is not just about my faith journey, it is about everyone's faith journey, including yours.
Much of what I will say about Postmodernism is based on an excellent series of video-taped lectures by Dr. Stephen Hicks. However, my summary on Postmodernism is only a partial overview of the subject, and it reflects my understanding of Dr. Hicks' lectures. Therefore, if I have misstated anything, do not fault the good doctor.
Postmodernism has not been around very long. It came onto the intellectual scene around the 1950's. I watched without comprehension as it began to dominate the culture in the 1980's. Some of its founders are Foucault, Derrida, and Lyotard. Postmodernism is not easily defined. It is a sprawling intellectual and cultural movement. It is unlike anything I have ever known. It does not desire to develop or build on the old (antiquity or tradition). Instead, it views the old with contempt, and completely rejects it.
You could say it is a radical reaction against most of the traditions that many of us have known. One of the most fundamental premises of Postmodernism is that our traditional beliefs in God, religion, truth, reason, science, progress, right and wrong, liberty, democracy, free markets, and the pursuit of happiness are wrong, so wrong that Western civilization itself, especially as it is manifested in the United States, is viewed by postmodernists as pathological, fraudulent and a complete failure. To help us better understand Postmodernism, Dr. Hicks has organized it into five categories: epistemology, metaphysics, human nature, ethics, and politics.
Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that concerns the nature of knowledge: what it is and how we know. Postmodernism is an extreme form of skepticism called nihilism. Skeptics doubt our ability to acquire true knowledge. Nihilists deny true knowledge exists. Nihilists also doubt the existence of truth, but if it did exist, they tell us, it would not matter because we cannot know it. For postmodernists, then, there is no one truth, only narratives.
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of being and the essence of things. According to Dr. Hicks, the metaphysics of Postmodernism claims that there is no such thing as one true account of reality. It seems to reject the belief that reality is based on an objective structure. Thus, there are no objectively ordered principles which govern or restrict human behavior. There is no natural law, no meaning beyond blind physical processes, no spiritual reality, and no God.
The postmodernist view of human nature is based on environmental determinism. This is the belief that human nature is malleable. All that we are, the postmodernist tells us, is derived from our culture or our group. We are literally constructed by our group, and we cannot surpass it. We cannot be objective beyond our group. Thus, there is no one moral truth. Right and ...

Thank you for this article. It is excellent. Your observations and comments about acquisition of political power, on the 2nd page, are interesting. Socialist state, postmodern atheism, marxists or socialists; all interesting commentary, once again, on the 2nd page of the article. Could this be, in part, why so many billionaires in America, after having made fortunes, turn around and vote for, support and fund, left leaning policies and parties? Could this be why all seems quite well with some of these folks if they can embrace free markets and capitalism so long as it benefits them; to then socialize the losses as they did in 2008 when it also benefits them to do so? And then? I remind myself of the beauty of the coffin and urn, realizing that many of these baffoons who insult the word "philosophy" by considering themselves philosophers are what? Not far away from becoming analysts of the root structures of dandelions from the 6' under perspective. Then? I realize, in great joy and faith, hope and confidence, trusting in Jesus, that The Father knew exactly what he was doing when he put an expiry date on the milk carton! We'd be over-run by these nutbells if they lived forever. Life and death, BOTH, are absolutely beautiful; which is likely why God himself designed us with an entry point and exit point....even better that we don't know when it will be. Humans? Collectively, we aren't anywhere as wise and intelligent as we'd like to think we are. I am happy Jesus is Jesus, "God saves" in Hebrew, and that he expressed his identity and mission flawlessly. Notice how Christ's human will submits to his divine and almighty will. Now, notice how postmodernism operates. It is evident to all of the truly wise who has won, is winning, and will win; forever. Ideologies? They sound intelligent in academic circles and at cocktail parties, in the beginning. Given enough time, on longer timelines, I fear many wished they would have never written certain books and that they would have never promoted their stupid ideologies. Why? Their names are associated with those IDIOT ideologies, for how long? Forever. Another reason as to why people ought to measure twice (or dozens of times) and cut once, to use a carpenter analogy; apply this to all sorts of schemes and plans. There is one ship not headed for the edge of Niagara Falls; The Catholic Church. Between desperation and a lack of critical thinking and poor reasoning, many are following all sorts of cults and dangerous systems usually led by a highly charismatic fleecing (of his flock) hot air balloon guru-pilot with storage houses filled with wool and leather; as his sheep and cattle below are what? Planted in mud knee deep in gopher holes, shivering with neither wool nor hide, still trusting in the balloon pilot floating above the pastures as he schemes his next move. And what is that? How to BBQ them all alive while they stand in 2 separate pastures! Meanwhile, there is likely a meat processing plant being built next to the 2 pastures; with another plant on the drawing board for the business of sweaters and leather jackets soon to be erected by the storage houses filled with wool and leather. No wonder the guru flying above in his sophist balloon is wearing a woolen interior lined leather jacket while sporting wholesale cut lamb sideburns! NEVER trust politicians and scrutinize all ideologies. The gurus are usually in the business of what? Liberating themselves with what? Your time and money, since it is needed for them to keep their balloons floating. Take the air out of the balloon and the guru ends up where the sheep and cattle are: jammed in mud while being in the cross hairs of the wolves.

You express a reductive, oversimplistic definition of postmodernism.
Postmodernism rejects everything the secular, scentific world decrees. This includes dichotomies such as secular/religious, conservative/liberal, and traditional/modern.
If you look for a philosophy that negates theological values, you found it in postmodernism. If you look for a philosophy that counters the rise of scientism, you will find an ally in postmodernism.

this article is so true, never hear it summed up quite like that,,i understand the pope when he speaks of the dictatorship ot relativism but this really builds off that as it is a part of that,,also if it wasnt for my catholic faith,,this article would be very scary,,,ok it still is because i see it too,,,as i read this i got to thinking , wow this is really a good summing up of what im seeing, but Christ reigns!
