Greenhouse gas emission trends
Key messages
According to first estimates by EEA for the year 2010, EU-27 greenhouse gas emissions increased by 2.4 % compared to 2009 (with a margin of error of +/- 0.3 %). This was due to the return to economic growth in many countries and a colder winter leading to an increased heating demand. However, the increase in emissions was contained by a move from coal to natural gas and the sustained strong growth in renewable energy generation. EU‑27 emissions were 15.5 % below the 1990 level. This 2010 increase follows a 7 % drop in 2009 (compared to 2008), largely due to the economic recession and the growth of renewable energy generation. Between 1990 and 2010, greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27 decreased in all main emitting sectors except in the transport sector, where they increased considerably. In the EU-15, CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production also increased.
In the EU-15, estimated 2010 GHG emissions increased by 2.3 % (+/– 0.7) compared to 2009. This implies that EU‑15 greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 10.6 % below the 1990 level in 2010 (1) or 10.7 % below the base-year level. The European Union remains well on track to achieve its Kyoto Protocol target (an 8% reduction of its greenhouse gas emissions compared to base-year level, to be achieved during the period from 2008 to 2012). 2010 emissions of all EU-12 Member States that have a Kyoto target were well below their Kyoto target, except in Slovenia.
A detailed assessment of progress towards Kyoto targets and 2020 targets in Europe is provided in EEA's 2011 report on Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections.

2006 greenhouse gas emissions
In 2006, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding emission and removals from land-use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) were:
- 5 143 million tonnes CO2-equivalent (Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-27;
- 4 151 Mt CO2-eq. in the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15);
- 992 Mt CO2-eq. in the EU-12.
In 2006, the EU-15 accounted for 81 % of total EU-27 greenhouse gas emissions. The largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27 were Germany (20 %), the United Kingdom (13 %), Italy (11 %), France (11 %) and Spain (8 %).
2005-2006 trends
Between 2005 and 2006, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding LULUCF:
- decreased by by 0.3 % (14 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-27;
- decreased by 0.8 % (35 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-15;
- increased by 2.2 % (21 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-12.
In absolute terms, emissions were reduced most in France (-14 Mt CO2-eq.) and Italy (-10 Mt CO2-eq.). In France, a shift in the production of public electricity and heat from fossil thermal power stations to hydropower was one of the main reasons for the decrease in emissions. In addition, emissions from households and services, manufacturing industries and agricultural soils declined substantially. In Italy, emission reductions were mainly achieved by abatement techniques in the adipic acid production and by a shift from fossil fuels to biomass in the household sector. Warm weather conditions had an additional positive impact on emissions from this sector.
Emissions increased most in Poland (+14 Mt CO2-eq.) and Finland (+11 Mt CO2-eq.). In Poland, emissions increased in public electricity and heat production, households, limestone and dolomite use and in road transport. Finnish emission increases mainly occurred in CO2 from electricity and heat production due to an increase in electricity generation from fossil thermal power stations and a decrease in electricity generation from hydropower plants. In Finland total exports of electricity in 2006 were about 3 times higher than in 2005, whereas total imports decreased by 21 %. Other EU-15 countries which saw emissions increase between 2005 and 2006 are: Denmark and to a minor extent Luxembourg.
In relative terms, the largest decreases were observed in Portugal (-5 %) and Belgium (-4 %), while emissions in Finland and Denmark increased by 16 % and 11 %, respectively. Emissions from Iceland increased by 14 %.
1990-2006 trends
Between 1990 and 2006 (Figure 1), total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding LULUCF:
- decreased by 7.7 % (429 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-27;
- decreased by 2.2 % (93 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-15;
- decreased by 25.3 % (337 Mt CO2-eq.) in the EU-12.
The 1990-2006 trends in total EU-27 greenhouse gas emissions were dominated by developments in Germany (-223 Mt CO2-eq. ), the United Kingdom (-116 Mt CO2-eq.) and Spain (+146 Mt CO2-eq.). Significant changes were also observed in Romania (-91 Mt CO2-eq.), Poland (-53 Mt CO2-eq.) and Italy (+51 Mt CO2-eq.).
In relative terms, emissions decreased strongly in the EU-12 between 1990 and 2000, mainly due to the introduction of market economies and the consequent restructuring or closure of heavily polluting and energy-intensive industries. However since 2000, the trends have been almost identical in the EU-15 and in the EU-12. Between 1990 and 2006, emissions decreased most in Latvia (-56 %), Estonia (-55 %) and Lithuania (-53 %), while emissions increased most in Cyprus (+66 %), Spain (+51 %), Malta (+45 %) and Portugal (+41 %).
In the other EEA member countries, the most significant trend was the +101 % increase in emissions from Turkey (+171 Mt CO2-eq.).
Comparison with Kyoto target (Figures 2 & 3)
In the EU-15, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding LULUCF, decreased by 2.7 % (114 Mt CO2-eq.) between the Kyoto base year and 2006. Therefore in 2006, EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions stood well above the -8 % Kyoto target. The emissions of four EU-15 Member States (Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, and Greece) were lower than their respective burden-sharing targets. Significant reductions in relative terms need still to be made especially in Spain, Austria, Luxembourg and Denmark, either by reducing domestic emissions or by making use of Kyoto mechanisms (see also CSI 011 and EEA report on Greenhouse gas emissions trends and projections in Europe).
Of the EU-12 Member States, Cyprus and Malta do not have a Kyoto target. The emissions of the other EU-12 Member States, except Slovenia, were well below their Kyoto target in 2006. The situation was similar in the EU candidate country Croatia.
2006 emissions of the other EEA member countries stood above these countries' respective Kyoto targets. Reductions will be needed either by domestic measures or by making use of Kyoto mechanisms.
What are the emission changes by sector and by greenhouse gas?
Changes in EU-12 greenhouse gas emissions by sector, 1990-2006

Greenhouse gas emissions can be viewed by country, year, gas and sector on the EEA greenhouse gas data viewer.
Greenhouse gas emissions due to energy supply and use including transport represent 80 % of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27, as well as in the EU-15 (Figure 4). Between 1990 and 2006, EU-27 greenhouse gas emissions decreased in all sectors except in the transport sector, where they increased significantly (Figure 5).
2005-2006 trends in the EU-15
In absolute terms, by far the main contribution to emissions reductions between 2005 and 2006 in the EU-15 came from fossil fuel combustion by households and services, followed by petroleum refining, apidic acid and nitric acid production.
- CO2 emissions from households and services decreased by 2.9 % (-18.8 million tonnes). One important reason for the decrease were warmer weather conditions. The number of heating degree days decreased by 3.3 % between 2005 and 2006. Important decreases in CO2 emissions from households and services were reported by France, Italy and the United Kingdom, while Germany reported substantial increases.
- CO2 emissions from petroleum refining decreased by 4.5 % (5.5 million tonnes) mainly in Italy and the United Kingdom.
- N2O emissions from nitric acid production decreased by 16.3% (5.4 million tonnes) mainly in Germany due to a decreased production rate.
- N2O emissions from adipic acid production decreased by 43.6 % (-5.1 million tonnes) mainly due to abatement techniques in Italy.
In contrast, substantial increases occurred in public electricity and heat production and in refrigeration and air conditioning.
CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production increased by 0.6 % (6.1 million tonnes). Emissions increased mainly in Denmark, Finland and the United Kingdom. In Denmark and Finland, this was mainly due to increased electricity production in coal-fired powerstations and decreased net imports of electricity. In Finland, reduced electricity production from hydropower was another reason for the emission increase. In the United Kingdom, the increase in CO2 emissions was mainly caused by a fuel shift from gas to coal. HFC emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning (+2.9 million tonnes or +8.1 %) increased mainly in France and Germany.
1990-2006 trends in the EU-15 (Figure 6)
Between 1990 and 2006, greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-15 decreased in all sectors except in the transport sector, where they increased significantly (+26 %). CO2 emissions from international aviation and navigation (which are not included here) increased by 103 % and 76 %, respectively. The largest relative decrease was observed in emissions from the waste sector. Most of the emissions reductions occurred in the 1990s, largely a result of:
- increasing efficiency in power and heating plants,
- the economic restructuring in eastern Germany,
- the liberalisation of the energy market and subsequent changes in the choice of fuel used in electricity production from oil and coal to gas in the United Kingdom,
- significant reductions in nitrous oxide emissions in the chemical industry in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
After 1999, emissions rose again until 2004, due to increasing energy and transport demand. More solid and gaseous fuels were used for the production of public electricity and heat (whereas liquid fuels were used less). Higher transport volumes (freight and passengers) led to higher emissions from road transport, which is responsible for more than 90 % of domestic CO2 emissions from transport. The use of diesel oil increased by 22 % while the use of gasoline decreased by 13 %. Between 2004 and 2006 greenhouse gas emissions from transport were constant.
Energy supply and use (excluding transport)
Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 4 %, due to a significant decrease of CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries and construction.
- CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries and construction decreased by 12 %, mainly due to efficiency improvements and structural changes in Germany after reunification. After an increase observed between 2002 and 2004, emissions declined again.
- CO2 emissions from public electricity and heat production increased by +7 %, driven by increasing electricity production in thermal power plants (+41 %). After a decrease of emissions between 2003 and 2005, they increase again in 2006 to the 2004 level (+0.6 % compared to 2005).
- CH4 emissions from fugitive emissions decreased by 56 %, mainly due to the decline of coal mining.
- CO2 emissions from households decreased by 1 %, while the number of dwellings increased by 19 %.
Decoupling of greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption has been observed in all Member States, although there are large differences between Member States.
Greenhouse gas emissions (domestic transport) increased by 26%, mainly due to CO2 emissions from road transport (which represents more than 90 % of domestic transport emissions). After a decrease in 2005, which was mainly attributed to Germany, CO2 emissions from road transport increased again in 2006 (+0.3 %). However, Germany's emissions keep decreasing since 1999 due to an increased share of diesel-powered cars, increasing fuel prices (including effects of the eco-tax) and purchase of fuel outside Germany.
- CO2 emissions from international aviation grew by 102 % and CO2 emissions from international navigation (maritime transport) grew by 60 %. These emissions grew faster than in all other transport modes.
- N2O emissions more than doubled between 1990 and 2006. The reason is mainly that catalytic converters, which reduce cars' exhaust emissions of certain air pollutants but produce N2O as a by-product, have become standard equipment. As most cars are already equipped with catalytic converters, this strong growth is expected to stop soon.
Industrial processes
Greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 , N2O and fluorinated gases) were reduced by 12 %.
- CO2 emissions from cement production increased by 6 %.
- N2O emissions from chemical industries decreased by 64 %, mainly due to specific measures at adipic acid production plants in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and, only in 2006 in Italy.
Large increases mainly as the result of expanding use of HFCs (as a substitute for ozone depleting CFCs that were gradually phased out in the 1990s) were offset by decreases of emissions from the production of halocarbons and SF6.
HFC emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning increased by a factor of more than 400.
Agriculture and waste
Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture fell by 11 %. In particular, N2O emissions from agricultural soils fell by 15 %, due to a decline in fertiliser and manure use.
Greenhouse gas emissions from waste fell by 39 %, mainly due to the development of landfill gas recovery.
1990-2006 trends in the EU-12 (Figure 7)
Between 1990 and 2006, greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-12 have been reduced in all the main sectors responsible for greenhouse gas emissions except for transport, where emissions increased by 41 %.
Transport emissions decreased by 13 % between 1990 and 1992, but increased thereafter. EU-12 Member States seem to reproduce the experience of Ireland, Portugal and Spain: starting from a relatively low transport level, all these countries experienced high economic growth which resulted in strong growth in transport and related greenhouse gas emissions.
Indicator specification and metadata
Indicator definition
This indicator presents anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in Europe from 1990 onwards. It analyses the trends (total and by sector) in relation to the European Community and Member States Kyoto targets for the period 2008-2012.
Definitions (from UNFCCC)
Emissions: the release of greenhouse gases and/or their precursors into the atmosphere over a specified area and period of time.
Greenhouse gases: those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.
Sink: any process, activity or mechanism which removes a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
Source: any process or activity which releases a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
Emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases are calculated according to the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (see Methodology), as agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC.
All the greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol (CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6, HFCs and PFCs). This does not include the greenhouse gases that are also ozone-depleting substances and which are controlled by the Montreal Protocol (see CSI 006).
In order to be aggregated, non-CO2 gases are weighed by their respective global warming potential and presented in CO2-equivalent units.
Emission sources
The indicator provides information on emissions from the main anthropogenic greenhouse gas sources, distributed by main emitting sectors (according IPCC nomenclature):
- energy supply and use (including energy industry, fugitive emissions, energy use by industry and by other sectors, excluding the transport sector);
- transport;
- industry (processes, i.e. not including emissions from fossil fuel combustion for energy use);
- agriculture;
- waste;
- other (non-energy).
Unless otherwise mentioned, the indicator does not cover emissions from international bunkers (international aviation and maritime transport), which are not covered by the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, these emissions are not taken into account in the total greenhouse gas emissions reported at national and EU levels.
Emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) are not included in total greenhouse gas emissions.
Geographical area
The indicator covers all 27 Member States from the European Union. Some figures also include information concerning other EEA Member States.
Period covered
The indicator covers annual emissions since 1990.
Greenhouse gas emissions are expressed in 'million tonnes CO2-equivalent' (Mt CO2-eq.)
Policy context and targets
Context description
The present indicator CSI 010 aims to support the European Commission's annual assessment of progress in reducing emissions in the EU and the individual Member States to achieve the Kyoto Protocol targets under the EU Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism (Council Decision 280/2004/EC concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community GHG emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol).
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) sets an ultimate objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations 'at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human induced) interference with the climate system.' It also requires precise and regularly updated inventories of greenhouse gas emissions from industrialized countries. With a few exceptions, the 'base year' for tabulating greenhouse gas emissions has been set as 1990.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC which sets binding targets for industrialized countries and the European community for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These amount to an average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012. (See next section).
The European Community (EC), as a party to the UNFCCC, reports annually on the greenhouse gas emissions within the area covered by its Member States. The Annual European Community greenhouse gas inventory and inventory report, officially submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat, is prepared on behalf of the European Commission (DG Environment) by the European Environment Agency's European Topic Centre for Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC) supported by the Joint Research Centre and Eurostat.
The legal basis of the compilation of the EC inventory is Council Decision No 280/2004/EC concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol. The purpose of this decision is to:
- monitor all anthropogenic GHG emissions covered by the Kyoto Protocol in the Member States;
- evaluate progress towards meeting GHG reduction commitments under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol;
- implement the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol as regards national programmes, greenhouse gas inventories, national systems and registries of the Community and its Member States, and the relevant procedures under the Kyoto Protocol;
- ensure the timeliness, completeness, accuracy, consistency, comparability and transparency of reporting by the Community and its Member States to the UNFCCC Secretariat.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, the EU-15 has taken on a common commitment to reducing emissions by 8 % on average between 2008 and 2012, compared to base-year emissions.
Within this overall target, differentiated emission limitation or reduction targets have been agreed for each of the 15 pre-2004 Member States under an EU accord known as the 'burden-sharing agreement'. These targets are set out in the Annex II to the Council Decision 2002/358/EC concerning the approval, on behalf of the European Community, of the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC and the joint fulfilment of commitments thereunder.
The EU-12 Member States (apart from Cyprus and Malta) have individual targets under the Kyoto Protocol. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia have reduction targets of 8 % from the base year, while Hungary and Poland have reduction targets of 6 %.
Of the additional EEA member countries, Norway and Iceland are allowed to increase emissions under the Kyoto Protocol by 1 % and 10 %, respectively, from their base-year emissions. Switzerland and Liechtenstein have reduction targets of 8 %. Turkey is a Party to the UNFCCC, but not to the Kyoto Protocol and therefore has no reduction target. Croatia, an EU candidate country which started accession negotiations with the EU in 2005, ratified the Kyoto Protocol in May 2007 and has a reduction target of 5 %.
Base year
Under the Kyoto Protocol, the greenhouse gas emission level in the base year is the relevant starting point for tracking progress. For most EU Member States, the base year is 1990 for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and 1995 for fluorinated gases (SF6, HFCs and PFCs). Five of the new Member States have base years or periods under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol that differ from 1990 for CO2, CH4 and N2O, which is possible for economies in transition.

In 2006, it was decided to postpone a decision on this until after all Community and Member State initial reports have been reviewed under the Kyoto Protocol.

UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories
Methodology for indicator calculation
The UNFCCC requires precise and regularly updated inventories of greenhouse gas emissions from industrialized countries, using comparable methodologies. To estimate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, all countries must use the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
In order to be agregated into one single figure, emissions of the different individual gases are translated into CO2 equivalents, using global warming potentials (GWP) as provided in the IPCC guidelines. GWP are a measure of how much a given mass of greenhouse gas is estimated to contribute to global warming.
Gas | Global warming potential (GWP) |
carbon dioxine | 1 |
methane | 21 |
nitrous oxide | 310 |
sulphur hexafluoride | 23900 |
HFCs and PFCs comprise a large number of different gases that have different GWPs. Countries report HFC and PFC in Mt CO2-equivalent.
All total emissions exclude greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities.
Methodology for gap filling
The EC GHG inventory is compiled by using the inventory submissions of the EC Member States. If a Member State does not submit all data required for the compilation of the EC inventory, estimates for data missing for that Member State are made. In the following cases gap filling is made:
- To complete specific years in the GHG inventory time-series for a specific Member State (for the most recent inventory year(s), for the base year or for some years of the time series from 1990 to the most recent year);
- To complete individual source categories for individual Member States that did not estimate specific source categories for any year of the inventory time series. Gap filling methods are used for major gaps when it is highly certain that emissions from these source categories exist in the Member States concerned;
- To provide complete background data tables for the European Community when some Member States only provided sectoral and summary tables. (In this case, the gap filling methods are used to further disaggregate the emission estimates provided by Member States.)
- To enable the presentation of consistent trends for the EC.
For data gaps in Member States' inventory submissions, a gap-filling procedure is applied in accordance with the implementing provisions under Council Decision No 280/2004/EC for missing emission data. The methods used for gap filling include interpolation, extrapolation and clustering. These methods are consistent with the adjustment methods described in UNFCCC Adjustment Guidelines and in the IPCC GPG 2000.
Methodology references
- Annual European Community greenhouse gas inventory and inventory report All the data used to prepare the indicator are consistent with the latest European Community (EC) greenhouse gas inventory report. This report is compiled on the basis of the inventories of the EC Member States for EU-15 and EU-27. It is the direct sum of the national inventories. For EU-15 energy data from Eurostat is used for the reference approach for CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels, developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The methods of gap filling are explained in the inventory report.
- Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories The 'IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories' were first accepted in 1994 and published in 1995. UNFCCC COP3 held in 1997 in Kyoto reaffirmed that the 'Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories' should be used as 'methodologies for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases' in calculation of legally-binding targets during the first commitment period. The IPCC Guidelines are approved internationally and developed through an international process which has included: wide dissemination of drafts and collection of comments from national experts; testing of methods through development of preliminary inventories; country studies which ensure that methods are tested in a wide variety of national contexts; technical and regional workshops held in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Central Europe and Western Europe; informal expert groups convened to recommend improvements on specific aspects of the methodology.
- Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories The report on 'Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories' provides good practice guidance to assist countries in producing inventories that are neither over nor underestimates so far as can be judged, and in which uncertainties are reduced as far as practicable. To this end, it supports the development of inventories that are transparent, documented, consistent over time, complete, comparable, assessed for uncertainties, subject to quality control and quality assurance, and efficient in the use of resources.
- Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry The report on Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF) provides supplementary methods and good practice guidance for estimating, measuring, monitoring and reporting on carbon stock changes and greenhouse gas emissions from LULUCF activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, and Articles 6 and 12 of the Kyoto Protocol. The GPG-LULUCF assists countries in producing inventories for the LULUCF sector that are neither over- nor underestimates so far as can be judged, and in which uncertainties are reduced as far as practicable. It supports the development of inventories that are transparent, documented, consistent over time, complete, comparable, assessed for uncertainties, subject to quality control and quality assurance, and efficient in the use of resources.
- 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories The 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories are the latest step in the IPCC development of inventory guidelines for national estimates of greenhouse gases. These 2006 Guidelines build on the previous Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and the subsequent Good Practice reports. They include new sources and gases as well as updates to the previously published methods whenever scientific and technical knowledge have improved since the previous guidelines were issued. The UNFCCC inventory reporting guidelines are still based on the methodologies and reporting formats of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories .
- UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories This document contains the complete updated UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories for all inventory sectors. Its aims to assist Annex I Parties in meeting their commitments under the Convention and in preparing to meet their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
Methodology uncertainty
Methodologies to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals
Difference of methodologies between countries
Since Member States use different national methodologies, national activity data or country-specificemission factors in accordance with IPCC and UNFCCC guidelines, these methodologies are reflected in the EC GHG inventory data. The EC believes that it is consistent with the UNFCCC reporting guidelines and the IPCC good practice guidelines to use different methodologies for one source category across the EC especially if this helps to reduce uncertainty and improve consistency of the emissions data provided that each methodology is consistent with the IPCC good practice guidelines.
The IPCC suggests that the uncertainty in the total GWP weighted emission estimates, for most European countries, is likely to be better than +/- 20%. While uncertainties in the estimates of the non-CO2 gases are larger than this, the dominance of CO2, with a much lower uncertainty than 20%, in the GWP emissions results in the overall uncertainty of 20%.
Data sets uncertainty
The EEA uses data officially submitted by EU Member States and other EEA countries which perform their own assessment into uncertainty of reported data. In accordance with UNFCCC guidelines, the EC and its Member States use the IPCC Good practice guidance and uncertainty management in national greenhouse gas inventories, which is consistent with the Revised 1996 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. The use of this good practice guidance by countries is expected to lead to higher quality inventories and more reliable estimates of the magnitude of absolute and trend uncertainties in reported GHG inventories.
The annual EC GHG inventory report provides a section (1.7) on uncertainty evaluation. The results suggest that uncertainties at EU-15 level are between +/- 4% and 8% for total EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions. N2O emissions of agriculture soils is the source contributing most to the overall uncertainty of the EC inventory.
TrendsTotal EU-27 and EU-15 GHG emission trends are likely to be more accurate than the individual absolute annual emission estimates, because the annual values are not independent of each other. The IPCC suggests that the uncertainty in total GHG emission trends is ~ 4 to 5%. The total GHG emission estimates are quite reliable and the limited number of interpolations used to build the indicator do not introduce much uncertainty at the EU level.
Rationale uncertainty
According to the latest scientific evidence available (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report 'Climate Change 2007'):
- Warming of the climate system is unequivocal.
- Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Global greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities have grown since pre-industrial times, with an increase of 70% between 1970 and 2004. Global atmospheric concentrations of CO2, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanning many thousands of years.
- There is high agreement and much evidence that with current climate change mitigation policies and related sustainable development practices, global GHG emissions will continue to grow over the next few decades.
- Continued GHG emissions at or above current rates would cause further warming and induce many changes in the global climate system during the 21st century that would very likely be larger than those observed during the 20th century.
- Anthropogenic warming could lead to some impacts that are abrupt or irreversible, depending upon the rate and magnitude of the climate change.
Words in bold represent calibrated expressions of uncertainty and confidence. Relevant terms are explained in the Box 'Treatment of uncertainty' in the Introduction of the AR4 Synthesis Report. In particular, a likelihood 'very likely' corresponds to a probability of occurence higher than 90 %. This uncertainty in specific outcomes is assessed using expert judgment and statistical analysis of a body of evidence (e.g. observations or model results).
The high confidence in the responsibility of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions for the warming of the climate system reemphasizes the relevance of monitoring and assessing greenhouse gas emission trends in Europe.

Hi all,
My playbook is around 11 months old now and has all of a sudden stopped charging properly!
I plug the charger in, everything behaves as normal and the playbook turns on fine, however the battery then says its charging but stays at 0% for the entirity that it is charging. when i remove it from charge it stays at 0% and then dies a very short while after that!
Anyone got any idea if this is fixable or if i need to send it off under warranty?
Spend some time reading the Sticky at the top section of the forum, then if you are UK as it seems likely as you have O2, contact your retailer for a replacement while the warramty is still in force. My son did the same and got a 75% refund which was enough to biuy a replacement and make a profit. Depends on your country and retailer.

Personally I don't believe WJC attempted to usurp the Presidency. Obama abdicated while while good old boy Willie was in the same room. The rest was merely nature taking its presumptive course.

Scary - incest, because this is playing out just as Scalia warned in Lawrence v. Texas.
First gay sodomy will be legal.
Then gay marriage.
Then polygamy between consenting adults.
Throw in a little polyandry.
Start the legal challenges to legitimize incest between consenting adults and teens even under age of consent if their partner sibling is of the age range that doesn't trigger statutory rape charges.
Bestiality if it involves a consenting adult and a beast that animal psychologists consulting on a case determine really likes the coupling.
Nixon isn't scary. People forget just how popular a competent leader can be in troubled times. The liberal media will fight till the last 60s leftist dies to keep Nixon demonized, but his stock will keep rising. It helps people like Lincoln to be followed by a Johnson, a Clinton to be followed by a Bush and Obama.

Richard Nixon maintained a 55-65% approval rating throught his 1st 4 years. He won the largest electoral vote margin ever in his re-election, if my hs studies were right.
By far and away, Nixon had more individual votes cast for him in his political career than anyone who has been a President.
And while with odious character flaws, Nixon, more than anyone since FDR, made the world a less scary place. Total War, even Global thermonuclear war was THINKABLE before Nixon-Kissinger. Detente made it all but impossible for either side to seriously see it happening. Nuclear stockpiles began drawing down, and Nixon unilaterally began the end of chemical and biowarfare weaponry. - 12/11/10, 12:10 PM

The scariest thing is not on the blog. The scariest thing is the total silence as to which Republicans the tax deal was "negotiated" with and just exactly what happened here, not to mention that "Dingey" Harry is now busy loading the proposed bill up with unpublicized special deals, which ought to sink the bill for both parties, but the White House and "leading Republicans" as well as some financial gurus are still promoting it.

Deep-six this abomination and retroactively reinstate the taxes next session when your hand is stronger.
Too late, the GOP owns it now, they've been outplayed, it's a lose-lose no matter if they pass the deal or not. The media has their script.
I thought about the presser yesterday and why Obama would purposely seek out the press with Clinton the bloviator in tow. He's setting up the same "blame the GOP" narrative Clinton successfully ran on Newt & Dole. The Post is already spinning the presser in Obama's favor.
I keep hearing about the tax increase being no big deal for the rich, well how about the hundreds of thousands of small businesses filing under Subchapter S? How many of them can absorb another 3.4% in overhead costs?
The 2% payroll tax cut is a joke. Just whom do you think will benefit most from a 2% decrease in their FICA taxes? Someone grossing the contribution ceiling of $106,800 or more or those grossing $60k a year? (Here's a real stunner)
2011 FICA Tax and Social Security Limits:
* FICA Tax Rate = 7.65%
* Social Security Limit = $106,800
* Maximum Social Security Contribution = $6,621.60
Even so it will be a piddling amount per taxpayer and SS & Medicare will go further in the red...which I'm beginning to think Obama is saying to himself; Faster, please.
As I posted in an earlier thread, Obama's other hand is always running the real play. The faster he can gut Medicare, the sooner a crisis arises and the resulting single payer health care system "bail out" and one more check mark on Obama's socialism to-do list. - 12/11/10, 3:49 PM

Radio Set Up - what's the best set up for a number of 1/5th & 1/8th scale bikes?
I've recently acquired a few bike projects that require various parts to get them up and running - what would be the best radio set up?
Three bikes are 1/5th scale (TT Nitro, Mclarney Daytona and a KP07), the 1/8th scale bikes are a brand new OTO (in parts) and a RTR Venom GPV. I also have a Silverlit Ducati that I might go brushless with. What Radio, recievers and servo's should I use for each scale? Can I use one radio for them all? Any guidance for a complete bike novice would be appreciated. |
Last edited by PUMA937; Feb 28, 2011 at 11:26 AM.
Myself being the only one I know with a few bikes, I prefer to keep different radios in each of them, so that I could have them all running at the same time with interested friends.
I am using 27Mhz AM 2CH Futaba 2PL and 2PBKA and an HPI (from a Firestorm!) radios in the bikes that don't have front brakes, Futaba 3-ch T3UCP's on the bikes with front brakes and the Venom has its own excellent 27Mhz 3-ch radio. Pistols and sticks mixed, 40mhz FM/PCM and 2.4ghz mixed as well... I am using the 2PL which has model memories in my KT8 kart too, with another 27mhz receiver. One of the stick Futabas is also home to my Touring Car, the other to my Baja 5B... As for servos, usually cheapo Futaba S3003 normal-sized servos are the norm in my 1/5 bikes! OK, the new TT SB-5 has an ACE DS1015!!! |
i use a futaba 3gr 2.4ghz for my sb5 mardave sidecar and baja5t
only because i like sticks(fly helis as well). but the cost of futaba Rxs for their FASST system is to buy a futaba Rx locally is $170au to buy a spektrum clone from hong kong $15au...shipped why do i like sticks?? just something else you need to consider cheers a |
I use Futaba 3PKS 2.4 gigahertz model.
I would recommend a 2.4 gigahertz system since you have many models. These are expensive but these systems are crystaless. This will allow you to use the same radio for all of them provided they have suitable receivers (or you can just have one receiver and switch from model to model). Any problems with people being on the same frequency are eliminated as well. I think all of us down here in Melbourne use 2.4 gig gear now. Also should consider getting a radio system that can store data for multiple models. Set up is quite specific for each different bike and once you find a good set up you won't want to loose it. Futaba gear as good as it is is ridiculously expensive especially the FASST stuff and I don't know of any equivalents. Would be good if there were though. The spektrum gear has some limitations but is still quite good. |

An Airtronics M11 is very good for RC Bike use. Has easy set up for brake mixing and proportional settings for both front and rear brake EPA which is a must for setting your brakes on the fly like at a race or even while your racing. It has 30 model memory too. Extra receivers are not that expensive compared to others.
I have found that the affordable JR ST-126 is a very good servo for 5th scale front brakes. I have around 8 of them in my bikes, have been problem free for a few years now. Being new to bikes I suggest listening to the RC Bike pod casts allot of good info heres the link: http://2wheelrcpodcast.com/ |

A White Oak man was sentenced to one to two years incarceration for leaving the scene after striking and killing a woman in McKeesport last year.
Timothy Tatters, 66, also was ordered by Common Pleas Judge Joseph K. Williams III to serve eight years probation.
According to the prosecution, Tatters, a retired Allegheny County police officer, was driving home from the Corral Club bar at 4:45 a.m. on Jan. 16, 2013, when he struck Lorraine Wilkes, 56, at Lysle Boulevard and Huey Street.
She later died at UPMC Mercy.
Tatters said he believed he struck a dog, but when he returned home and saw the severity of damage on his Jeep Cherokee, he suspected he hit a deer instead.
Police used pieces of his vehicle and a tip from a neighbor to track Tatters down.
He told investigators he had been at the bar about 11 hours that day, and after seeing news reports about Wiles' death knew police would be coming for him.
He pleaded guilty in March to one count of accidents involving death or personal injury.
Tatters left the county police in 1993.

Are you a B2B online marketer? Or would you like to be one? Whatever your rationale for reading this article, here are 6 steps to help your lead nurturing campaigns by getting the most appealing subject lines.
Check for deliverability. There are two kinds of filters you need to get past: actual SPAM filters, and your readers. Readers have a BS detector up when checking their inboxes,. Avoid spammy words like "free," "act now," and "limited time." Don't shout at the reader by using all caps, like "REMINDER," which is another spammy word that should be avoided. Also, steer clear of excessive use of punctuation marks such as pound signs and exclamation points at the end of sentences.
Make it actionable. To have an actionable subject line, ask yourself one thing: does the reader know what he or she can do in the email? An email subject line is similar to writing a call-to-action; using verbs helps create the sense of urgency and excitement you want them to feel when reading your subject line. For example, a well written email subject line reads, "Meet the Legendary Ming Tsai at Blue Ginger," versus the less actionable "Ming Tsai at Blue Ginger." With the first subject line, I know I could do something in this email to help me meet Ming Tsai, as opposed to the second, where for all I know, Ming Tsai just went to Blue Ginger last night.
Personalise. The only way you can provide value to your email recipients is by knowing them. And if you've segmented your subscriber list, you do know something about your recipients! Your email subject line should reflect that you're sending something that they want. For example, an estate agent may have segmentation just for renters looking for an flat by post code. Reflecting this knowledge in your subject line, such as "View a 2 Bedroom Flat in Cambridge" will drive up the value of that email for the recipient.
Scrub for clarity. You know what your recipient will get if they open the email, but try to step out of your own shoes for a moment. Is it clear to an outsider? If your subject line is too broad, it won't resonate. This often happens when email marketers try to be witty with subject lines. Try and find a way to be clever and straightforward, but never at the expense of clarity. Can you further help recipients identify what the email is about by putting identifying keywords in the beginning of the subject line, alerting someone that their favourite item is in a sale? Include it at the beginning of the subject line.
Edit for brevity. It's to your benefit to keep the subject line as short as possible. A good rule of thumb is 50 characters or fewer. Not only do you want as much of it as possible to display in the email pane (especially on mobile devices), but people are quickly scanning their inboxes to decide what to read, and what to delete. The shorter your subject line, the less likely you are to get glossed over.
Ensure consistency. What the subject line promises should correspond with what is delivered in the email. Think about getting an email with a subject line that promises 75% off men's clothing, only to find out that it only applies to socks. This leads to lower open rates, lower click through-rates, and higher unsubscribe rates.
As with any recipe, testing is required for best results. Experiment with different verbs, reorder your words, and try different offers to see which ones resonate the most with your recipients.
Subject lines are just part of good email practice. And email is an essential part of Lead Nurturing. To find out why you need lead nurturing campaigns and how to construct them why not have a look at our latest eBook by clicking below.

Big Love's Chloe Sevigny Regrets Channeling Katherine Heigl
Chloe is on damage control after accidentally speaking before thinking.
-Carolyn French
Last Wednesday Chloe Sevigny surprised fans with her ill-mannered comments regarding the fourth season of HBO's Big Love, which she won a Golden Globe for earlier this year.
The typically cool-as-a-cucumber star acted as though she had borrowed Katherine Heigl's brain for the week when she told The Onion's A.V. Club that the season was "awful" and "far-fetched."
After finally removing her foot from her mouth, Chloe apologized for the ungrateful remarks.
Read Jason Segel and Chloe Sevigny Lock Lips
"I feel pretty terrible," Sevigny told Entertainment Weekly. "I feel like what I said was taken out of context, and the [reporter] I was speaking to was provoking me. I was in Austin [at the SXSW festival] and really exhausted and doing a press junket and I think I just … I wasn't thinking about what I was saying."
Seems to be a trend these days! Do you think Chloe is truly sorry, or is she just trying to avoid becoming the next Uber Diva? (EW.com)

Seriously what the hell.
This kid is practically qualified for a BS in materials science.
I feel sorry for her, fancy not having any friends at all at her age. All the kids her age are dumb fucks to her, she cannot relate at all. Everyone with the same level of qualifications are 10+ years older than her and dont want to hang around with a kid. She will have problems later in life I am sure, she has my sympathies.
And buying friends is what? Positive in your opinion? People, get away from "being rich equals a fulfilled life". Why do you talk about stuff like this at all in this regard. She had some amazing test results and seems to really be on to something, why talk about her private life and how much money she will make?
I am quite positive that she has more in mind than mere profit. The search for profit at every corner has taken disgusting forms. And it probably even debases this girl's achievement. She found a way to clean polluted water, because she saw how people got sick and suffered. She got her motivation from within. And you talk about money, career and buying friends. Don't you think that this is quite pathetic in relation to what she actually has accomplished?
So yeah, she's smart, and assuming she doesn't screw it all up she has a bright professional future ahead of her.
I don't think any of us are in any position to judge how her personal life will be. I know some very intelligent people who are also socially adept. They have no issues making friends and can "tone it down" to avoid coming across as pretentious or elitist or whatever.
I also know some folks who are brilliant and have absolutely no social skills. Real life Big Bang Theory personality. Their personal lives tend to be a bit more lonely.
Seems to be far more productive to applaud her for her intelligence and hope she goes on to do great things rather than muse about what her personal life may or may not be like.

I think you don't realize how you came across with the "buying friends" comment. That made me raise an eyebrow as well and it has nothing to do with what altitude my equine is at. lol.
EDIT -- also, I wouldn't leap to the assumption she will be loaded. She may go the non-profit route.

You were the one talking about "buying friends". Btw.: The urge to solve a problem leads to business, not the other way around. Historically at least. Currently, people rather look for "is there profit somewhere?" than to actually value the product. How many diseases are kept alive out of profit reasons, I wonder? The pharmaceutical industry values selling over healing, for those who haven't noticed yet.
I found it just pathetic that the talk about money got big rather than her actual result which might help millions of people.
O tempora, o mores....
These kinds of people often end up to do something underwhelming in comparison to their potential, same as most others.
One cannot simply quit wow his way into Mordor.
I managed to slack-off for the 1st 24 years of my life, and still pull off a successful and satisfying career.
All that partying was priceless to me. So who's the smart one now?
It seems pointless to discuss with you. And now you talk about drugs o_O... If you don't think that "profiteering" has become the core of making business then I am sorry. And sadly, the human health is nothing but a business for most people (pharmaceutical industry). Therefore I am happy that this little girl puts her intelligence into something that actually aims to solve problems and doesn't try to maintain a status quo out of "cheap labourer" reasons or whatever.
Yeah... name one disease that makes more money for a drug company to treat rather than cure.

She probably won't go to college when she's 15. Chances are good she's just an above-average intelligent girl with big ideas and a strong will to get things done.
I'm sure she'll go to college at a perfectly normal age.

LARRYABELT brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 87 Designs von 15 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Disability Insurance Group ( DIG)
Cutting Edge Insurance Group needs a Mascot-Logo! Need to get to 10 so I can guarantee! .
Drs. lawyers, accountants, dentists, professionals and business owners. Ages 21 to 35.
We are looking for a logo and Mascot for our new web site. Insurance is boring. Disability Insurance is boring, and Disability Insurance web sites are even more boring. If you go on any of these sites, you will never remember them the next day. We can be bland like everyone else or we can stand out. I chose to stand out.
My company is Disability Insurance Group. DIG, We need a logo and a mascot. The mascot needs to be a humanized Dog that looks like he has been in a crash. Something along the lines of Pluto the Disney character. I want to fun-up the whole concept. Similar to what Aflac has done with the Duck, Geico has done with the lizard, or Met LIfe has done with Snoopy.
The Mascot can be incorporated with the Logo, but they also need to be used as separate entities, similar to what Aflac does. Sometimes when we are making a presentation perhaps to a law firm, we may want to take on a more serious tone, so the Dog may have to step aside. Since DIG is our acronym, we thought a dog would be best. Perhaps he could be using a shovel as a crutch.
Files attached are for an earlier creation that was scrapped because we decided to use a Dog.

After trading under $1 for most of October and some of November, LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE:LDK) looks like it will enter the new year with a buffer between it and penny-stock territory. The Chinese solar manufacturer traded around $1.22 on December 27, riding high after news broke earlier in the month that Chinese officials would double their solar subsidies, spending about $2.1 billion to support the struggling industry.
The stock, down over 72 percent this year to date as a result of tremendous overcapacity, lower demand, and new trade tariffs issued by the United States government, is up 23 percent over the last month. This movement is echoed by Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE:STP), another Chinese manufacturer that often traded below $1 per share between August and December. Shares are down nearly 46 percent this year to date, but are up more than 47 percent over the last month.
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
The market's positive reaction to the subsidy hike underscores the industry's dependence on government assistance. Without the catalyst, these solar stocks could easily have continued to bump along under $1 per share, facing selling pressure and warnings from the exchanges to stabilize their prices or face being de-listed. Both companies have a beta over 3.1, double their major publicly-listed competitor in America, First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR)
Looking at the stock chart, First Solar's price movement is archetypal of the industry as a whole. Shares are down 14.4 percent this year to date, and up 16.5 percent over the last month. The Market Vectors Solar Energy ETF (NYSE:KWT) follows a similar course, down 39.28 percent this year to date and up 18.23 percent for the last month, while the Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSE:TAN) is down nearly 50 percent since the end of February, and has risen 15.42 percent this past month.
The solar industry at large is heading into the new year on a more optimistic footing. A report released by the Solar Energy Industries Association indicated tremendous third-quarter strength in the U.S. solar market, with installations up 44 percent year over year, and highlighted several healthy indicators.
But as with any trend, it's not all good news…

Word of Mouth
Asking Right Questions First Step to Good Diabetes, Oral Care
By Dr. Michael Goldberg, D.M.D.
My name is Michael Goldberg and I am a dentist in Manhattan. So what am I doing turning up on a website devoted to diabetes? You're already taking the first step to good health — asking the right questions! Health is information and I don't have to tell you who is in charge of what you need to know. But if you're at dLife you probably know that already.
Ok, so here's the answer to the question: Infection is a key issue for everyone and it's particularly important for persons with diabetes. The most prevalent causes of infections are in your mouth, with gingivitis and gum disease being the most common. So here I am to help you.
It's not the bacteria or viruses that get stuck in your teeth themselves that are the problem; it's the body's response to those intruders, a process we call "inflammation." Why? Because inflammation can cause an increase in blood sugar and that makes your diabetes more difficult to control.
Inflammation is now thought to be a major cause of all kinds of health problems. It's the underlying cause of processes that lead to Heart Disease, Atherosclerosis, Stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and…DIABETES.
When it comes to diabetes, inflammation is a double whammy. Poorly controlled diabetes makes inflammation more severe and inflammation makes diabetes harder to control. It's a viscous cycle, but it can be controlled.
Your dentist and hygienist should be integral parts of your health care team. Here's what they should do (and if they don't do it you should gently remind them they should):
- Take a thorough medical history.
- Speak to your physicians and other members of your health care team (such as your nutritionist or diabetes educator) about your health care status.
- Perform a thorough periodontal assessment at every visit.
- Teach you how to prevent inflammation.
- Perform procedures that can reduce plaque accumulation, remove irritations, and reverse gum inflammation.
- Give you tips for at-home oral care techniques that will assure optimal health.
Let's first look at #1 (I'll be back to discuss #2 through #6 in subsequent columns.)

Wheels turn slowly on Dargo bus bid
Dargo children are missing days of school because there is no bus to take them to Lindenow or Bairnsdale. Their parents say efforts to lobby government and transport authorities are going nowhere.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Aaron Bailey and Rick Peters are two dads that go to great lengths to give their children an education.
Each piles their brood into the car and drives 57 kilometres from Dargo to the nearest bus stop at Beverley's Road or further to the Lindenow Primary School or schools in Bairnsdale.
That's a 220 kilometre daily trip including pick-ups in the afternoon which costs each of the dads about $150 a week in fuel.
The pair has been campaigning all year for a bus to take 14 primary and secondary students from Dargo to their schools.
"We're out of breath, we've tried and tried," Rick says.
"The high school and the primary school have tried their hardest for us, we're not getting anywhere."
The bus bid is bouncing between different levels of bureaucracy including the departments of education and infrastructure, VicRoads, two shire councils and two bus companies.
Lindenow Primary School principal Arick Shoemaker says he speaks to one of those agencies at least once a week.
"We've gone up to Dargo several times and we've had issues about where a bus can turn around," he says.
"We've been working quite a lot with it and we've been trying everything we can to get these kids to school and so far we haven't been successful."
Most of the Dargo children caught up in the bus battle are attending school only three days a week because their parents can't afford to drive five days.
Aaron Bailey has noticed a marked decline in his daughter's educational assessments.
"We got our NAPLAN tests back for our middle-aged daughter," he says.
"She's in grade three... her spelling, her reading, everything's just dropped."
Nationals Member for Gippsland East Tim Bull says he wasn't aware the bus campaign had dragged on all year.
He says the final hurdle is a safe turning circle for a bus in Dargo and one has been identified.
"There'll be a resolution sooner rather than later. I'd be very disappointed if there wasn't," Mr Bull told ABC Gippsland's Mornings Program.

If Mark Trumbo weren't so accommodating and willing to adapt, he might complain publicly about being jerked around a bit by the Angels, who have a funny way of showing their appreciation for the young slugger.
Trumbo replaced the injured Kendrys Morales and led the team with 29 home runs and 87 runs batted in as a rookie in 2011 but lost his first base job when the Angels signed Albert Pujols before 2012.
Bouncing between third base, first base, left field, right field and designated hitter last season, Trumbo made the All-Star team and, despite a lengthy second-half slump, finished with a .268 average, 32 home runs and 95 runs batted in.
When Torii Hunter left in November, General Manager Jerry Dipoto committed to an outfield of Mike Trout in left, Peter Bourjos in center and Trumbo in right.
Then the Angels signed right fielder Josh Hamilton in December, pushing Trumbo to a primary designated hitter role, another difficult transition for a 27-year-old used to playing defense.
But instead of resisting the move, Trumbo is rolling with it.
"There hasn't been a year with any kind of relative certainty of my position," said Trumbo, a first-round pick from Villa Park High in 2004, "so why start now?"

Went Vick week 1 and that turned out to be the right decision. Romo vs the Niners good run D, poor secondary plus Romos needing to "bounce back" makes me wanna start him but Vick, Sunday Night Football and returning to Atlanta makes me think he will dial it up a notch. Personal issues aside just fantasy points who do you take?
Vick's potential for huge stats is too much to give up on. I think he has to start every week so long as he isn't nursing an injury.
I would go with Knox mostly because the other two only caught one pass each last week. The Saints pass defense looked pretty bad last week as well and Roy is hobbled so that might be good for him.
honestly i go romo and im not going homer route. 9ers arent that good, atls D is better than what they played last week, peters may not play and will probably get hurt if he does, a win for ATL means more with the vick homecoming and romo needs a great performance to get the media off his back

Business, Golf & Success
In my younger days I played baseball, hockey and even boxed. I gravitated towards the rougher sports and learned a lot from my rock 'em and sock 'em days.
To be successful at team sports requires much of the same mettle it takes to make it in the business world. Competitiveness, teamwork, strategy, and proper conditioning are all requisites for success. Yet the most successful people in the world choose golf as their preferred sport.
the business appeal
There are so many sports to choose from, why has golf become the de facto sport of the business elite? One of the reasons is that most of us cannot compete at the level we would like in most "contact" sports. Golf, on the other hand, can be played at a very high level throughout one's lifetime.A senior executive may not be able to hit the ball as far as a twenty-something fast tracker, but he can use his experience and mental toughness to play great golf and come out on top. The same would not apply if senior management played junior management in a game of ice hockey!
Furthermore, golf is a sport that takes time to play. To play a round of golf usually means taking a day off (or at least half a day) from work to enjoy the beauty of the golf course. When starting a new business relationship or trying to nab that elusive client, a hard sell isn't always the best way to go. Why not take part of the day off and invite your contact to play a round of golf at a country club?
This will allow the two of you to get to know each other better in an informal and more pleasant setting. If he's not ready to do business with you just yet, at least he'll feel he can ring you up informally should he change his mind, and maybe you'll close the deal when he invites you for a round of golf.
Keep reading to find out how golf can help you make powerful contacts and add a few notches to your "success belt"...
