SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — General Motors Co. ended its seven-year losing streak on Thursday, banking a $4.7 billion profit for 2010 on the back of resurgent car sales across the broader auto industry.
The most recent quarter, however, was by far the least profitable of the year as costs to roll out new vehicles climbed. Fear that those costs may continue to rise along with concerns over rising oil and raw materials prices also weighed on the shares.
City living behind rise in asthma?
Is city living causing asthma rates to rise in the U.S.? New findings seem to support that theory.
GM's GM, -1.44% stock fell almost 5% to close at $33.04, touching on a low of $32.05 earlier in the session.
The decline pushed the shares to their lowest point since their debut in the public market back in November at $33.
Along with mounting costs, GM's mix of vehicle sales also poses a potential headwind in the coming quarters, according to Wall Street Strategies analyst David Silver.
"A good portion of the success this quarter came from the strength of trucks, but with oil near $100 and gasoline going to be at $4 per gallon, the attractiveness of those vehicles declines dramatically," Silver said.
"GM doesn't have the hybrid or small car line up to really be able to keep up with the other auto makers," he added.
Reversing the loss
For the fourth quarter, GM reported a profit of $510 million, or 31 cents a share, reversing a loss of $3.5 billion in the final months of 2009.
GM's European operations still weighed on the company's overall results. The division posted a loss of $568 million in the fourth quarter and $1.8 billion for the year.
Total revenue came in at $36.9 billion for the quarter, well ahead of Wall Street targets, and at $135.6 billion for the full year.
The results include charges of $400 million, or 21 cents a share, as a result of the previously disclosed $700 million loss on the purchase of U.S. Treasury preferred shares.
On average, analysts polled by FactSet Research had expected the company to earn 49 cents a share on revenue of $34.3 billion in the quarter.
"Our focus for 2011 is to build on our progress and continue to generate momentum in the marketplace. We expect our first quarter will be a strong start," said Chris Liddell, vice chairman and chief financial officer.

Diane Duhaime of Jorden Burt LLP provides answers to trademark questions often asked by in-house counsel:
"This is the sixth in a series of introductory articles on the topic of trademark law. In our earlier articles, we covered the definition of a trademark, how to select a strong trademark, and conducting trademark searches in connection with clearing usage of a selected trademark.
Proper usage of a trademark is essential to maintaining the company's exclusive ownership of the mark in the United States. Therefore, once the company has obtained clearance of the mark from its trademark counsel, the company will likely want to make an application for federal trademark registration of the mark.
Until the time that the federal trademark registration is received, many companies will use the SM or TM symbol with the mark. SM stands for "service mark" and TM for "trademark." Typically, one of these symbols will appear on the shoulder or foot of the last letter of the mark. For example: ABC DENTAL SCHOOLSM. Although including the SM or TM symbol with the mark is not required under U.S. trademark law, such use notifies the public that the company is claiming exclusive ownership of the mark. Also, use of the SM or TM symbol serves as an excellent deterrent to those who might be considering infringing the mark."

|Home > Press Releases > nais >
For immediate release please.
The most expensive government tax in history to be levied on livestock producers is being planned at this very minute. We are told it is absolutely necessary . . . but, it isn't!
This national surveillance project orchestrated by the Department of Agriculture is rapidly gearing up. For over a year numerous articles, related full color page ads, and public town hall meetings, called "listening" sessions, have been held. (Some offer free steak dinners if you will just come listen.) Most information is presented by employees of the state or federal government and is completely slanted toward a soon-to-be compulsory, 100% National Animal Identification System (NAIS).
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., introduced two bills that would amend the Animal Health Protection Act to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish an electronic nationwide livestock-identification system to enhance the Department of Agriculture's response to outbreaks of livestock disease. The main goal is for the USDA to be able to trace, within 48 hours, the complete historic abode of all livestock from birth to slaughter.
Although we all know the true cost of any government program is impossible to totally identify, here are some serious numbers to consider. During the 2004 fiscal year USDA allocated $18.8 million to NAIS. The budget request for 2005 was $33 million. At this time think tank sessions are in progress to develop the rules and regulations right down to the fines and sentencing to be exacted on those who try to choose noncompliance.
Would 48-hour animal identification capabilities be a good thing? Some say yes. Some people who have heard the government's point of view see this as a no-brainer, life or death, do or die, and what are we waiting for? It is presented to the "listening" audiences as something that WILL happen. . . .no one can stop this program.
The NAIS will involve an electronic chip/button placed in every critter's ear which must be readable by special computers before any cattle can change ownership or locations. For surveillance, a premises registration of every farm, dairy, and ranch in the USA will be required to enforce the rules. Computer equipment will be mandatory to read the ID numbers inside the ear. Vague estimates are presented of the costs to all livestock marketing auctions, feed lots, processing plants, and every individual livestock business. Even though millions of out-of- pocket dollars are required to become nationally compliant, no promises are being offered that cattle values will increase as a result.
Many smaller livestock auctions believe they will be forced to terminate their businesses rather than purchase the required NAIS computer systems and employ skilled technicians for operation. Others are projecting that sale commission fees could be forced to double considering the added expenses of NAIS.
Today cattle prices are the highest in history. At the same time articles are being written indicating that the nation is falling behind in food safety and technology. The true facts reveal that the USA cattle industry is the world pioneer and leader with USDA meat inspection. Safety and food quality are the proven world trade mark for this great nation. As I read articles promoting NAIS it would appear as if we butcher steers hanging from trees and scald hogs in the Walmart parking lot. It just ain't so! If it isn't broke, don't hire the government to fix it.
To legally enforce federal NAIS program compliance, state rights are being trampled, changed and destroyed. Legislation is being introduced and enacted at state levels to provide smooth moving for federal control. Don't assume the non agricultural elected lawmakers with little livestock experience will be aware of the possible costs to livestock producers.
We are told there are about 100,000,000 cattle in the USA. These cattle are bought and sold by the thousands daily. A fully operational NAIS program will require equal computer entries. As each critter changes premises (pastures) or ownership a new computer entry is required. As a steer changes owners from the breeder to a stocker, backgrounder, trader, feed lot and finally a processor, the computer entries could easily reach a half billion per year.
What is the government's record in the economy of identification? The USA Census is almost an exact parallel to NAIS. The USA 2000 census recorded 295,919,428 people. The budget for the year 2000 census was $6.5 billion or $56 per house. The frugality that helped keep this cost so "economical" is the fact that 67% of the census reports were returned by mail, and, of course, postage is free for the Census Bureau. The current projected budget for the 2010 census is $11 billion or $72 per house. (Postage will still be free in 2010.)
With the buying and selling of all cattle the number of computer entries for one year of fully operational NAIS will be equal or larger in number to the 2000 census. Unfortunately, unlike the USA census, every livestock producer, dealer, owner and marketer in the nation will share the costs. The government will only carry part of the load. Animal owners will pay the main part of the cost, one way or the other.
If the cost of NAIS comes in at $6 - $11 billion per year will the program be considered for termination? What other government programs have been reduced or terminated that you recall? Do cattle producers want to roll over and play dead as this pollyannaish plan is fine tuned? Is this a fair price to pay for the possibility of one more "mad cow" appearance? If the census example isn't a fair way to estimate the annual cost, what other government budget could be used to relieve our fears?
These numbers only deal with USA cattle. The USDA ads confess that the proposed system includes plans also for bison, swine, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, deer, elk, llamas, and alpacas. What about moose, zoo animals and ground hogs? Let's not leave anyone out. As we look at this larger picture, perhaps, triple the census budget is the real cost.
Commingling is a compliance concern. It is factored into the enforcement equation. If potentially infected animals have been commingled at a cattle show, livestock auction, county fair, or feed lot this would create thousands of new numbers for the 48 hour documentation. If animals move through several commingling events then separate in different directions, the numbers would go up to many thousand that could become quarantined at the different premises in one foul swoop.
If Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) appears to be an unavoidable future encounter, why not spend a few billion on developing a BSE vaccine? The wonderful success of the USDA in dealing with brucellosis, scabies, anthrax and screw worm elimination is a global medical miracle. Past history proves that the USDA can function and deal directly with major livestock disease problems very successfully.
Considering all the great leaders and employees of the USDA, and all the honorable intentions they have of completely protecting us, the NAIS program is logistically unpractical. Just because we are enjoying the highest cattle prices in history and may be celebrating with a few bright candles on our cake. . . . . don't let the government turn this pleasant party into a 5- alarm fire!

His mom is very happy too, and for good reason. Cole was really attached to his swaddle blanket but when he was about 3 months old he began wiggling out of it. And soon his mom discovered the Bitsy bag as a next step option to keep him safe and warm through the night, and he loves it- waking up with this heart melting smile every morning. I have had countless moms that have told me similar stories about discovering and loving the Bitsy bag and it absolutely makes my day. I created the Bitsy bag for my own baby, but I created the Bitsy company as a way of developing products from a mom's perspective to give other moms peace of mind. And what more could I ask for?

Canadian Tamil Congress Writes for RightsOn December 10th, 2011, the Canadian Tamil Congress joined thousands of letter writers across Canada and around the world in writing for rights. In commemoration of International Human Rights Day, thousands across the world picked up a pen to write for human rights. Canadian Tamils did just that today at the CTC Office in Toronto. CTC members and supporters, along with their families, read through cases of various human rights violations and expressed their concern in handwritten letters.
"Personalized letters from a concerned citizen of the world can change people's lives and that's exactly what Amnesty International has been promoting for the past 50 years", said David Poopalapillai, national spokesperson of the Canadian Tamil Congress. "We are happy to see so many young children show interest in human rights and hope that they will start advocating for those suffering around the world soon" added Poopalapillai.
The purpose of the Write for Rights campaign, as per Amnesty International, is to mobilize thousands of people around the world on International Human Rights Day. The main goal is to use the power of letter-writing to help address human rights violations including the release of people who have been wrongfully detained. Amnesty International has documented success stories of how these letters have effected change and has stated that the letter-writing efforts of people have led to positive results in approximately one-third of the cases.
The members of the Tamil community have also been victims of human rights violations and have first handedly felt the painful effects of discrimination. Having gone through that themselves, they wanted to show their concern for other human rights violations around the world. So, they picked up a pen and started writing. Today, members wrote in support of various causes:
• Called for justice for two Indigenous women violated by soldiers in Mexico
• Demanded justice for the killing of a student in Sri Lanka
• Demanded the clsoure of an inhumane prison camp in North Korea
• Voiced their concern against Bill C-4, the Anti-Smuggling, Anti-Refugee bill
• Insisted on freedom for a prisoner of conscience in Iran
• Called upon the Canadian Government to bring imprisoned Bashir Makhtal home from Ethiopia
If you did not have a chance to drop by CTC today, please take a minute to visit Amnesty's Write for Rights website at http://www.amnesty.ca/writeathon/ and choose a cause that you can write for.
Never underestimate the power of writing.

"I had never worn a helmet on a skateboard so I wasn't wearing one that day either."
Last Skateboard Ride of the Day
Tom was a fun-loving teenager who enjoyed snowboarding, soccer, and most of all, skateboarding. At the age of 19, he wanted to celebrate getting a new job so he took his skateboard out to his favorite hill and went for what became his last ride to this day. The hill was steep with a sharp curve at the bottom and, although he had been down the hill many times, he lost control of his board and went flying. He had never worn a helmet on his skateboard and he wasn't wearing one then. He was saved by a friend who was supposed to meet him at the hill, found him unconscious, and called 911.
Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Tom suffered from a severe traumatic brain injury. He immediately underwent brain surgery to try and relieve the pressure that was building in his skull due to his brain swelling. He remained in a coma for four months. When he awoke from his coma, he underwent extensive therapy to relearn how to walk, talk, and eat, amongst other things.
Lasting Effects
Tom still suffers from muscular atrophy on his left side. His vision on his left side never fully recovered. He also experiences difficulty with memory.
Today, Tom is living life to the fullest. He enjoys cooking, spending time with family and friends, playing video games, and volunteering with ThinkFirst. He has presented to many schools and hopes that other students just like him will learn from him and always wear their helmets.

Charlie Sheen Rips Barack Obama for Filling Out f 2015 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket
You know Barack Obama is a total political screw-up and joke f a president when Charlie Sheen become the voice of reason. Charlie Sheen sent this tweet on Thursday asking why Obama didn't attend a funeral for soldiers but he could fill out a bracket. The tweet was in Ebonics of which as predictable as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, Sheen was called a racist. The economy still stinks in the US, record number of people are on food stamps, record number of Americans have left the work force, the Middle East is on fire, ISIS is growing and attacking innocents everywhere, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq are falling to terrorists … but Barack Obama has the time for bracketology.
Although, if it meant the difference between Barack Obama spending time on this terrible and foolish nuclear deal with Iran and the NCAA College Basketball brackets, I say let Obama pick as many brackets as he can until he gets it right.

Charlie Sheen Winning? Dumped Via Text by "Goddess" Bree Olson aka Rachel Oberlin
Charlie Sheen,
WINNING LOSING … Breaking up is easy to do via text.
Sheen appears to be one less "goddess" as porn actress Bree Olson (Rachel Oberlin) broke up with him via text message. Charlie Sheen opened his lame Violent Torpedo of Truth show in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Who knew that the former goddess Bree Olson had more brains than most of the individuals buying tickets to Sheen's show by finally getting out of Dodge.
Sheen opened his show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by telling the audience that porn actress Bree Olson broke up with him via text message, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Breaking up by text adds a special

WINNING? Sounds More Like Bombing … Charlie Sheen Booed & Heckled at his Disastrous Live Show Debut
In the case of Charlie Sheen, never has WINNING been more about complete and total defeat. It would appear defeat is an option.
Question One … who is more insane and on crack, Charlie Sheen or the people who actually thought it was a good idea to send this unstable and off the wall clown out on stage in a live tour? We are awaiting your answers.
Question Two … who is foolish enough to part with their money and actually pay to see Charlie Sheen in the first place?
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Charlie Sheen opened his Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour in Detroit, MI at the Fox Theater on Saturday night before an adoring crowd. Needless to say, it did not take long for a adoration to turn to boos, heckling and folks walking out. As people started booing, Sheen responded by saying, "I already got your money, dude!" Let this be a lesson to people thinking about buying tickets in the future.
First the U.S. automaker recession, and now this. Charlie Sheen unleashed his Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour on the Motor City on Saturday night before a crowd that greeted the actor with an adoring standing ovation and concluded with booing and walk-outs. The padded and disjointed show was a hodgepodge of video clips and Sheen-isms that felt hastily assembled and misjudged the patience of even the hardest of hardcore fans.
As the Daily Caller opines, "There's one born every minute, and nobody's more glad than Charlie Sheen." All I can say after watching the VIDEO's and reading the accounts of the disastrous Sheen exploits, please tell me that no one who actually bought a ticket to watch this mess actually votes.
The reviews of the show were disastrous as seen at Entertainment Weekly. Just a thought, was there ever a doubt that they would not be? Did people who went to see an out of control, drugged on Charlie Sheen drinking Tiger's Blood actually think that what they were going to witness was going to be good?
For those who purchased tickets and continue to, consider yourself lemmings and additional confirmation that there really is a sucker born every minute.
UPDATE I: As reported at Big Hollywood, Charlie Sheen calls Sarah Palin a "whore" in his show. Wow Charlie, call that "winning"? For some one who claims he is so different and outside the mainstream, you appear to be nothing more than a lemming yourself. How original, attacking a wife and mom by calling her a derogatory name. You are losing again.
UPDATE II: What is the over/under on when Live Nation will pull the plug?
How long before Live Nation pulls the plug? I'd say, not long, because what they don't want is an avalanche of ticket refund requests and cancellations in every city. Bad publicity in one city is one thing, but tonight is Chicago and by Friday Sheen is supposed to play Radio City Music Hall.

Andrew Dice Clay Tells Charlie Sheen You Are Not Winning, Get Some (Bleeping) Help
Now I remember why I used to love Andrew Dice Clay …
It started out as a question regarding Gilbert Gottfried who was just recently canned by AFLAC due to his twitter comments he made regarding the Japan earthquake tragedy. However it soon turned to Charlie Sheen and the rest is Dice Man history. The "Dice Man" went on a tirade like only he could and basically told Charleen Sheen .. hey Chuck … Hickory, Dickory Dock … OH!
Andrew Dice Clay went after Charlie Sheen and turned it into a quintessential Dice Man comedy routine which Sheen as the focus. However, what came from the profanity laced commenst that may have set a Guinness Book of World Records for censor beeps was many valid and lucid points from Andrew Dice Clay. Although crude. the Dice Man was spot on … Hey Charlie get some f#&$ing help.
This is a must watch VIDEO (warning, profanity).
Dice man said, maybe this (beep) Charlie Sheen should say something nice abhout all these people in Japan and their families while he has the (beep) attention on him? Dice then said, know what gets me about him, no one has the balls to tell him how (beep)ed up he is.
Then came the "Hey Charlie you think you are winning" part of the video that is a must see … WOW! Do you call it winning that you get your kids taken from you?

Charlie Sheen Winning? Officially Fired from Two and a Half Men … Vows Lawsuit with Tiger Blood
Winning? Hardly Charlie … any one who hires this guy is us out of their mind … Tiger blood, Goof grief
Charlie Sheen calls the following winning … we call it a train wreck with an unhappy ending.
Charlie Sheen is officially fired from CBS's "Two and a Half Men" and then does what Charlie Sheen does best, threatens a law suit and goes on yet another bizarre and foolish rant. Are you serious Charlie, waiving a machete from TMZ and making mock of Martin Luther King Jr. by "saying free at last" when asked about your firing by CBS. Good grief, my only question in all of this is why you were not fired sooner?
Because we all know he is not bi-polar, he's bi-winning.
Just a note to Charlie Seen and his lunacy rants, tweets and videos … REAL WINNING IS SANTANA, NUFF SAID!!!
Sadly, the only reason why anyone in the media is following this "train wreck" is so they can watch him crash live on TV or the Internet. And here you have it, the real reason why Charlie Sheen gets PR, folks looking to make a dime off of the bizarre rantings of Sheen … now available every where, Tiger Blood cocktail.
You know folks, any of you that actually purchase Sheen's "Winning" merchandise or worse yet wear it … you have issue and might be in need of getting a life.

Child sexual abuse makes billions of dollars every year for pornographers. Why shouldn't reporting it make money, too?

A Bad Yoga Day. ~ Dana Gornall
Sometimes I have a bad yoga day.
I have been practicing yoga on and off for about five years now. I realize if my practice was more regular I would most likely see improvements sooner, but being a working mom I get there when I can.
When I first started going, I found I was extremely tight all over, and while I have made some strides in flexibility, there are days when I feel like I am back to that very first class.
Yesterday was one of those days.
It started out that I didn't get there as early as I would like. Early arrivers get their coveted spots, and my favorite spot is near a wall. I am not as steady in balance poses as I would like to be so the wall is my comfort zone. Of course yesterday, there were only middle of the room and up in the front spots left when I arrived.
Thankfully, yoga has taught me to accept discomfort on some level, so I don't stress on this too much.
Class starts and we are focusing on forward bends. My hamstrings are like ropes left in the sun so I know I have a challenge set before me. (Of course, yoga is always a challenge.)
With my trusty wooden blocks nearby we start in Uttanasana (standing forward bend) after child's pose and downward dog. The back of my legs complain in protest and I close my eyes trying to let them release. My body responds with a slow burning pain that reaches from my sacrum down to the back of my heels. I breathe through the sensation, let up slightly and then reach back toward my blocks.
Next we go into Parsvottanasana (Intense side stretch or Pyramid pose) with bricks and a concave back. Leaning down and looking forward, I know I need to pull both hips straight, but my body says otherwise and my my heel raises up off the floor.
My instructor comes around to adjust me and attempts to gently straighten my hips, but I'm made of stone and nothing will budge.
After a series of poses, my teacher instructs us in Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (standing big toe pose). "Now some of you may choose to stand near a wall for this pose," she says. I find a spot near the wall.
I hate this pose.
It hurts to hold my big toe because of the structure of my foot. I spent the earlier part of my childhood in dance classes and was an avid toe walker. Looping my fingers around my first few toes I stretch my leg out in hopes that it will straighten. Of course, with my rigid hamstrings and crooked toes, I form some sort of half-awkward asana with a strained face—at least I have the wall.
Nearing the end of class, right before Savasana, we use a bolster against the wall with two blankets piled on top to prop our hips onto and climb our legs up the wall. I feel a deep sigh crawling up inside me, as I also hate this pose.
This time, it's not because of my hamstrings, but I struggle to get in to it. I push my props close to the wall, crouch to the side, position my self as close as possible, sit on the bolster and try to rock my hips slowly down and lie back.
Except I fall off. Looking to my left I see the woman next to me perched perfectly on her bolster, arms outstretched, eyes closed and a peaceful look on her face. Sigh. I try again. Fail.
This time, while lying on the ground I shimmy as close to the bolster as possible and lift my hips up, legs in the air I use my arms to push my body close to the wall. I don't quite have it, but close enough. My teacher says nothing. I think she has given up on me for the day. That's okay—I have too.
Finally, it's time for Savasana.
I slide off the bolster (this I can do) and leave my crossed legs resting on it. My hips and groin protest slightly, but they are too weary to complain too much.
After a few minutes of internal mental chatter, I roll to my side and sit up, hands in prayer in front of me. I bow my head. "Namaste."
It was a bad yoga day.
I felt like I struggled in every pose, wrestling both mentally and physically—except I don't feel defeated or down.
I walk out of class, knowing I made it through class and in that class I learned to be okay with struggle.
I learned I can be strong in the face of imbalance. I can get back up after I fall. And even during times when I cannot bend, I will not break.
So I will come back and try again.
Like elephant yoga on Facebook.

Beautiful. Through struggle and challenge comes growth. I feel yoga is even more valuable for those of us who struggle. Thanks for sharing this in beautiful eloquence.
Thanks, Sarah! Yoga has definitely helped me grow on this journey. Even the bad days make my days better.
Hi Dana, I am a massage therapist and yoga teacher in Perrysburg, Ohio. I love people from the Midwest, thanks for sharing your story. My perspective on the poses you practice are actually causing more tension than relieving it. As a massage therapist you are probably familiar with fascia. In order to balance the fascia the spine must maintain it's natural design in order to become flexible and strong. About 40% of Yoga poses, especially forward bending with straight legs are anatomically questionable. This puts the body at a right angle, which flattens the lower back and compresses lumbar spine. Like sitting, it is very bad for your body. That is why it hurts. It is not you. Body was not meant to move this way. Read this from Michaelle Edwards a contributor on this site. She is also coming to Toledo, Ohio in November. Thanks, we are all here to help each other. Joe http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/07/when-flexi…
Thanks, Joe! I understand what you are saying, but truth be told, I actually feel better after yoga and I am improving in flexibility. I may not ever get my hands flat on the floor, but I feel so much better going. And it's always nice to connect with another LMT!
This was a great post! As a yoga teacher and student I often have these days. 😉 Some days the poses just don't come easily or well, which can be such a blow when I'm demonstrating them for a class full of people expecting perfection. I just close my eyes and breathe and say, today just isn't the day, now you guys can try. haha
blissful216, some days my yoga instructor will tell us she is tight or had an injury, etc, so can't do the full pose. It's nice to know even yoga teacher have bad days.
Good post, the way you write actually makes me feel that I am a part of your story. It just draws me right in. Great job!

PARIS HILTON – playing her "New Paris" role to the hilt – phoned ex-BFF MISCHA BARTON, cooing about mending their prickly relationship – and gushing that of all her frenemies, she's missed the ex-"O.C." star the most! Said a source: "Paris then went into a rant about the mess NICOLE RICHIE's made of her life, how BRITNEYSPEARS snubbed her – and that LINDSAY LOHAN's white trash and destined to be dead soon." Soured by Paris's poison tongue, Mischa blew off an invite for a just-us-girlies get-together…and hung up abruptly. Just days later…you guessed it!... Mischa heard Paris was slamming her as "a jealous witch!" Meee-OW!

Wienerberger Falls as Profit Misses Estimates: Vienna Mover
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Wienerberger AG fell in Vienna trading after the world's biggest brickmaker's 2011 net income missed analyst estimates, even as the company returned to profit after two years of losses.
Shares declined 1.7 percent to 9.325 euros at the 5:30 close of trading in the Austrian capital, the biggest decline since Feb. 10.
The manufacturer had net income of 9 million euros ($12 million euros), compared to a loss of 67 million euros a year earlier, according to the Vienna-based company's Chief Executive Officer Heimo Scheuch. It was expected to report a profit of 11.8 million euros, according to the average estimate of nine analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Sales increased 16 percent to 2 billion euros and operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 23 percent to 258.6 million euros, on the higher end of Wienerberger's predicted 250 million euro to 260 million euro range.
The brickmaker, which has 232 plants in Europe and North America, closed five plants and mothballed another six last year in the U.S., the U.K., Belgium and the former Yugoslavia to counter weaker demand in Europe and North America. Total plant utilization increased to 65 percent from 60 percent. The company is expanding its offering and last week bought the 50 percent in plastic-pipe-systems maker Pipelife it didn't already own from Solvay SA for 162 million euros.
Wienerberger proposed a dividend of 0.12 euros a share, beating the estimate by Bloomberg research and analysis, after a 0.10 euro dividend last year.
The brickmaker predicts a profit this year and has a mid-term operating Ebitda goal of 500 million euros in 2014 or 2015, the CEO said. Wienerberger didn't provide a 2012 forecast because of "limited visibility" in eastern Europe and the U.S., it said in a statement.

The primary objective of this study is to characterize patients' course of recovery in the year following the initial surgery for unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures treated with the InterTAN intramedullary hip screw device. This will be done by collecting patient outcome measures of health related quality of life and functional status including return to normal gait. Secondary objectives are to document any adverse events associated with the procedure, and to analyze differences in recovery due to differences in age, gender, co-morbidities, nutrition, residence and ambulation status, and use of mobility aids.

PROM MAKEUP: Pretty and Pretty Fierce
Hey, did you guys know that prom is coming up? Were you also aware that girls at prom like to wear makeup? Did you know that makeup can be applied to the lips, eyes and skin to create a different look? Am I hungry? Hannah Johnson of An Aesthetic Feast, XO Jane and being my Internet BFF is the Dumbledore of Makeup (in that she's a wizard, not an old dead man – spoilers) and here are some of her inspiring looks that work for prom, parties and puppies. Alliteration. Words.
Here's her Boardwalk Empire/1920s inspired look. Notice the arched brows, light upturned eyeshadow and Cupid's bow lips. This is a good choice for a floaty romantic dress. Or a Great Gatsby-inspired look. Or if you're in The Shining and you went back in time to the 1920s and it's not really explained – spoilers.
Time to get mod! Here's a fresh take on Twiggy makeup: black cat eye liner, drawn in bottom lashes and very light blush paired with a barely lighter shade of her original lip color. Hannah keeps it new by leaving her brows a little more natural than a waxed look and doesn't pile on extremely pale lipstick. Twiggy was the most popular model of the 1960s – spoilers.
If you like the idea of '60s inspired makeup but don't want to go full-on Twiggy, here's a more subtle look. Winged eyeliner is applied to both the top and bottom lids with a peachy pink lip tone. It's a little bit Mad Men, but not so much that it looks like part of a costume. Sally Draper was so fierce on Mad Men in the most recent episode – spoiler alert, but I have no regrets about spoiling this one.
How lovely and beautiful is this?! Obviously you don't have to go full on swan and extend your shadow as far as she did, but the softness of her eyeshadow matched with shimmer on her cheekbones and pink lips is just all around lovely. Black Swan was a movie – spoilers.
On the other end of the spectrum you could opt for barely there makeup. Just a hint of shadow, light mascara, and a matte rose lip color give you that natural Virgin Suicides prom look. Which sounds morbid but those girls looked really nice at prom. Before they killed themselves. Spoiler alert, but not really – I mean, come on, it's in the title.
While I'm on the topic of Kirsten Dunst film roles, here's a look that will really… turn heads (YYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!).
Anyone who dresses as Marie Antoinette at a non Marie Antoinette themed prom has my full admiration forever. But if you don't want to take it this far, don't… lose your head. There's elements here that you can borrow for a pretty look that will make you… head of your class. I guess what I'm saying is you… won't have your head severed at your neck, if you know what I mean. Keep the eyeshadow a pinkish tone, lose the beauty mark, brush up on blush and apply a lip stain (as opposed to gloss or lipstick) to get a more practical version of this look. Marie Antoinette died aboard the Titanic, spoilers. OR IS IT?
What makeup do you wear to formal events or do you wear none at all? Discuss!

Beauty Confessions: Waste Not, Want Not!
The Muse went to an all girl's high school and once a month we all had to assemble in the gym, wait in line, and proceed to sit down with one of four priests to confess our sins. I swear confessing my naughty deeds was the most difficult thing ever. I admit that on occasion I'd make up things like, "I took the Lord's name in vain…" just so I could get out of there really fast…honestly, I wasn't going to tell him what I was really up to!
Now as embarrassing as it is to sit and confess all my cheek to a priest I have no such reservations confessing my beauty mishaps to you.
My latest beauty confession stems from the fact that I simply have WAY too much makeup. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to tame the stash as it's getting way too large. I actually promise myself this ever year but it never really happens.
Fact is I was sorting through some of my products a few days ago and I realized, much to my horror, I let some things go way too long without tossing them. That's not really a big deal….the worst part is some of the items had gone bad and I had never even used them or removed them from the packaging.
I feel so wasteful when I do that. I try to rotate my makeup constantly. Toss items I don't want or things that have gone bad, swap stuff I know I won't use, or just give it away. It pretty much broke my heart when I noticed I had four, brand new, unused glosses in a gift set from a year ago that I failed to even break open and use. By now the glosses had gone bad and were just gross looking so into the rubbish bin they went but it left me feeling rather bad about the waste.
I vow to be stronger with beauty come the New Year!
How about you?
Any beauty confessing you've been wanting to get off your chest?
Are you sometimes wasteful with beauty bits and bobs?
Share 'em!
The Muse is listenin' and never judging…and of course she offers complete, unbiased forgiveness.
12/16/09 12:59 myolie:
i keep on buying those cheap things at "ebay" that promises to whiten my teeth,make myself flawless and thin and always ending up with allergic rash from using those products and cant even return them(more expensive to return them).cant give them to friends( i love my friends) cant give them to my enemies ( even my enemies dont deserve it). for this year will try really really hard not to buy those cheap things.
12/16/09 13:59 rachel:
you should sell some of the stuff!
i know a lot of beauty bloggers have shops that they sell their unused or reviewed products at. 😀
i know a lot of people (such as myself) would love to buy some stuff xD
12/16/09 14:26 jamie:
awww i do that too!!! i just threw some of the masks i bought quite sometime ago and they are all dried up in their bags i felt really bad!!
12/16/09 15:07 dangster:
If the lip glosses were new and unopened, shouldn't they last longer than just a year?
12/16/09 15:09 Marina:
Mostly I feel bad when I don't use certain nailpolishes, like my OPI. They're $8-10 a pop, and when they dry up and I've only used them once I feel like it was a waste. But I try and do a regular check of my makeup, especially if I've just bought something nice that could replace other things. I threw out some old Maybelline and L'Oreal stuff that was junky and I didn't use a couple weeks ago. It was way past due though…the things were TERRIBLE. I literally prodded it, and two of the colors (they weren't in separate pans…just baked next to each other) fell out in whole pieces…
12/16/09 16:43 Hailee:
Sell your makeup! Do it! We'd buy it and you know it haha
mine is that whenever I go shopping, basicicLly every Saturday hah, I get sephora happy and get lots of shadows or something. I have a huge collection but all I wear is the same bronze or brown! Haha!
12/16/09 17:33 Ashley:
I think it's the same for everyone. I collect & collect, hoard what I can but when I look at all of it… My heart sinks, my stomach goes in knots -sigh-. I don't need anymore make up, officially. Maybe I'll lay off in the 2010 because I really have to… my college tuition is JACKED UP!! >:(
I'm trying to use all my lip glosses & mascara so I can repurchase or try new things. Those are the two items that we all over indulge in, always! Nail polish too but who wants to pay for a manicure weekly?!
12/16/09 17:47 Kristina:
I have an enormous stash of makeup, bath and body, haircare, and skincare. I have no willpower when it comes to new products, sales, or gwp's. It's disgusting – I could literally go a couple of years without buying any of the above.
12/16/09 18:12 DivaShop:
I went thru my stash recently & felt a pang of guilt as I threw out a bunch of old makeup. UGH!
12/16/09 19:19 Lacey Starr:
I too have a shameful beauty stash. I try to use as much as I can of my makeup and skincare/bath products but they always expire anyway. I simply buy way too much. It's an ugly addiction. It wasn't too bad when it was drug store stuff but I buy more expensive now and it is such a waste of money. My biggest weaknesses are MAC and Lush. I have a ton of both of those and many others unopened even. Help?!?
12/16/09 21:32 Renata:
Blog sale! 😀
12/16/09 21:49 Paloma:
If you want to donate some of your stuff, let me know…I only have like 2 or 3 MAC glosses, and everything else I have makeup wise is cheap and boring. 😛
12/16/09 22:18 Comrade_Garlic:
I do this too. I just tossed a bunch of skin and hair stuff tonight. None of it was any good. I need to move on to my product closet and the makeup. I'm sure there is some funky lip products lurking in those Sterlite bins.
12/17/09 1:55 Amy:
I'm pretty good at rotating my stash so things get used & then swapping/donating the stuff I don't use, but then again I'm a clean freak and hate clutter.
I did spend more than I should have this year on makeup, so my goal for '10 is to buy less (I'm on the Project 10 Pan) & wear more everyday (to use it up.) I bought it, I might as well use it, too!
And one more goal is to buy more MAC. I'm loving the B2M program, and I figure that buying more expensive (to me) will reduce the overall amount I buy, and the quality is better than some drugstore so I'll actually use it. Plus, it's easily swappable/sellable, and if it does go bad before I use it, I can B2M it!
12/17/09 3:44 Christy:
Sigh, yea I need to clean my stash out soon. I did a mini clean out when I moved in August but things build up of course. Am sure I have at least 6 tubes of gloss that could make their way to the garbage bin pretty soon. Otherwise, I do sell off items on Ebay every once in awhile for really rare/limited edition items. The payoff can be great, but you never know what will go for lots.
12/17/09 8:26 Gen:
maybe you should give some makeup to less fortunate women like in crisis center…. i do it once a year around christmas ….pretty priceless to see the look in the eyes on these women! feeling good
12/17/09 12:07 Mollie:
I think I'm mildly OCD because I have waaaaay less makeup than you, and still constantly am throwing things out if they're old. I try to keep my stuff pared down for that very reason, and to save money. Also, I don't know about you but I HATE owning personal products I don't use. My roomie makes fun of me because like once every two months I get rid of a few things I haven't used in weeks. This doesn't include the items I've put away that are "seasonal" (for example I don't use my MAC MSFN, or powder blush in winter because my skin is too dry… and I have a couple of perfumes I don't like using when it's cold). I'm talking cheapie lip glosses and stuff like that. The things you buy at the dollar store and promptly forget about.
12/17/09 20:34 Mollie:
That would be the best house ever. We could watch Dr. Who while sorting stuff! Like glitter!
12/18/09 13:25 Paloma:
Can I join?!!?!?!
12/18/09 13:37 Paloma:
sorting through makeup and watching Doctor Who 😛
I have makeup – powder shadows – that is over 20 years old. Lipsticks that are 10 years old. I keep everything clean and neat, most importantly keep it OUT of the steamy bathroom and it's fine. The "expiration dates" are by and large a fiction created by the cosmetics companies to frighten you into purchasing more product. Either Sassy or Jane (the only ones with the balls to say it) had an article confirming this.
12/17/09 20:37 Mollie:
But with certain things, I think it probably is better to throw them out eventually… like liquid things. I can see keeping powder based shadows, or maybe (maaaaybe) even lipstick, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfy putting 10 year old liquid FOUNDATION on my face.
Can we find this illusive article? I'd like to read it.
And yep… palettes are collection magnets.
12/17/09 12:57 Gia:
Ugh. my problem is I can't stop buying. I'll make a promise to myself I will not buy anything till I finish one lip gloss/blush/eyeshadow or whatever.
Then on my next trip to the mall I end up buying something because I don't have this exact shade of pink lipgloss and now I need it! it's soo horrid. One day i'll stop myself.
12/17/09 15:41 Renata:
Some brazilian bloggers are actually counting their makeup items, in a kind of "2009 inventory". I'm doing it too, and I intend to post my numbers next Sunday.
Some of us have have less, some of us have more (problem) and some of us can't count all of them (*that's* a real problem!) XD
12/17/09 16:15 Marsha:
My name is Marsha and I am a Bath and Body product junkie. Everytime I go to the mall I have to go to either Victoria's Secret or Bath and Body Works. I had 10-15 bottles of shower gel on rotation, and others stashed away. Some of them started going bad because I forgot about them. I heart my heart to throw them away :(. I know how you feel.
12/17/09 16:18 Renata:
[LOL] I thought so… 😀
12/21/09 14:15 Julie Marie:
I just did a major stash clean up two weeks ago. I tossed out so much stuff, it actaually broke my heart because most of it I have never used more than 5 times. Powder products, lipsticks, and glosses that were never opened were given to my friend Amanda, who is also a fellow make up junkie. I also came to the realization that I have 22 make up bags, and only constantly use three or four of them >.<
