Sorry about that! Basically, previous authors had attributed long-term cooling effects of the upper atm to increases in greenhouse gases, namely CO2. Increased CO2 traps more heat in the lower atm, but in the upper atm due to the much lower density, increased CO2 actually acts to release more heat into space. Which is all well and good, and physically correct. However, we found a stronger relationship to be with decreases in ozone. We all know that ozone absorbs high energy UV rays (which is why we don't need to worry about it down here), and because of this, it acts to heat up the upper atm. And so we found decreases in ozone (meaning decreases in upper atm heating) to correspond with the upper atm cooling period, among other things. It wasn't a hard conclusion, just some more evidence to support the case.

But I also agree with mindmajick that statistics just can't always be believed. And although it may seem like I'm disagreeing with you, I'm not. I really do not have a clear opinion on the subject simply because I just do not know enough. And I really think that no one person out there knows enough just yet. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this argument haha! But one thing I don't agree with is blaming it all on the Industrial Revolution. Where would we be without it? Sure, you can say we know more today than we did back then. But have you ever tried asking 7 billion people to all at once change their ways on a hunch?

Hate to keep double posting, but just asking to see if any of you guys have some advice. Wanting to go to college next fall, and I've seriously been trying to figure out WHAT I want to do over these past few years being out of high school. Have many possibilities, but I feel in a sense I'm a bit picky when it comes to each.

Tried majoring in music. Advice to anyone? DON'T DO IT. It consumes all of your life. At the time I had a girlfriend and was doing a lot of work helping out my church. Hardly had any time either from all the damn practice I had to do for it. Hated it. Still love music, but seriously, if you simply enjoy it, keep it as a hobby. Also, careers in music majoring are really thin. Unless you want to become a teacher or absolutely KNOW you're getting into a symphony, you're pretty much hosed.

Anyways, these are my current options and things I enjoy, all of which are fairly different from eachother:

-Graphic Design (Have fun doing serious work in Photoshop)

-Photography (Possibly studio, but I know this career itself is more freelance)

-Architecture

-Audio/Acoustical Engineering (Not entirely for studio work behind the table [though I'm open to it], but for designing audio products and/or possible auditoriums/studios)

-Broad, but something to do with computers

I'm driving myself crazy over it. I DO want to actually go to college and get out and experience that, so online degrees aren't very enticing... Idk. Anyone? lol

Current student at UMD- College Park. Going for psychology major, but anything like that you have to take to graduate school.

Actually, most fields a bachelors doesn't mean much anymore
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Thank ALL the posts!

But yeah, thanks for all the input guys. I know things like graphic design and photography can tend to be difficult jobs to get into because the demand for them isn't nearly as strong as the others. Yeah, they're there, but not enough to make it entirely worthy for a full-blown career.

I'm definitely expecting to go to a graduate school for most things, because yeah, like you said lag, bachelor's degrees don't really get you too far unless you already found a job before you even start schooling that says you only need one. (A lot of the acoustics jobs are that way, but I'm sure they prefer more experience.)

Architecture has always been a big fallback for me. I mean, I can see myself loving it, but I'd really like to explore other things. Which is where the acoustical engineering comes from. Have always liked dealing with sound. Was in band through most of my school years, all of which, the timpani were my favorite instruments to play because of their varying pitch, still playing music, my sound system at home always has to be a certain way or it audibly trips me out, EQ's are a must for most things, etc, etc, etc.

Salary wise for these.... Haven't looked too far into it. I know engineering careers usually net pretty high incomes though.

You will get hired because of the interview, but what gets you that interview is the degree. It of course varies with the field and location, but I live in Washington D.C. Competition here is really high, there are jobs (thankfully, compared to other ends of the country) but when most applicants are in graduate school those that stop after a bachelors just get thrown away. And always get the Bachelors of Science over Bachelors of Arts if you have the choice.

[Off-topic] dac1227:
Please do not put too much emphasis on what you want to major in now. So many students change their major very early on in their studies. If you look at the curriculum of the majors you suggested, you will find that your freshman year will not contain much other than general courses, math, engl, ect. Major-specific classes generally intensify during your junior and senior years while in a 4-year program.

Science and arts degree

general

curriculum requirements do vary quite a bit; I'd advise you start there. If you were to change your major part way through while enrolled in a B.S. program to a major in a B.A., you would set yourself back quite a ways. I'd imagine your HS counselor would have a lot of valuable input on which direction your suited for.
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Thanks for all the input guys! Really appreciate it all. Been hating being stuck in this little town I live in for the past 3 years since I graduated HS with hardly anything to do, lol. Need to get out in the world already... Think I'll honestly head the BS direction. While I'd love to get into art, I wouldn't mind at all keeping it all as a hobby and maybe get paid here and there if someone really wants to hire me for it.

Also, just dawned on me that the Olympics are 8 hours ahead of us... Rowing and swimming start at 1am and 2am, respectively. Oh joy... >.<

Honestly as an American I loved it. There was no way they were going to compete with China's show so they went a different route.

They showcased the industrial revolution, great UK literature like Potter, Alice In Wonderland, 101 Dalmatians. The music of The Beatles, Clapton, Elton John, and others.

But above all, Rowan Atkinson and British humor (humour heh). What other country would try and put a joke in the ceremony. It was great.

Made me hate NBC though, the commentators wouldn't shut up and the irony of the www creator doing his "this is for everyone" as NBC blocked viewers was lost on them.

So all of a sudden today my battery life went way downhill. I had been on average using around 6 to 8% per hour with normal use. So today I notice with the phone sitting not being used, screen off, power on but phone not in use jumped to using 20% per hour. So right away I suspect a app being the culprit since I had the night before just updated some apps. So I start freezing apps and long story short found it was my apex launcher causing the problem. So has anyone else noticed or had this problem with apex if that's what you use? Or has your launcher whichever you use ever caused a battery drain or has anyone ever heard of this before? Any ideas on a fix cause I love apex launcher, so much I even bought the pro version....
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
With Apex? Noo, definitely not. That launcher's served me very well since I started using it. If they just updated it in the past couple days though, I'm not sure, as I've been using JB's default launcher. I've never had battery drain issues in the past though.
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Now that I think about it it stated when I went from the free version to the paid one. That was about the same time a update was available so I think I'm gonna restore the backup I made of the free version from titanium backup before any updates were out cause the update was for the pro version and see if that stops the drain. Right now I'm back on tw launcher and I forgot just how much it really sux. I was to the point of reflashing the stock firmware and starting over until I finally figured out which app was sucking my battery. Thanks to G Sam Battery Monitor pro I was able to figure out which app it was. So far that's been the best battery monitoring app I've ever used and I've dang near tried them all. Definitely worth trying the free version too see if you like it and well worth the couple of bucks for the pro....
