Hannah is a mature and insightful young woman. She was only 16 at the time of filming.
Thank you Ky for making this film and for all of the Sole Survivors for sharing their stories.
Bahia's going to visit her mother's grave.Ironically, she's going to fly out on the same date as she did before. She's very frightened.
#SoleSurvivorFilm I'm glad this film was made. Each person's experience was different, and they've come together to give each other support. Brave all around.
Such a powerful scene when Kassim reads George's letter: "@GeorgeLamsonJr : #SoleSurvivorFilm I am so glad I was able to reach to Bahia."
If you're not watching #SoleSurvivorFilm you should be. It's on CNN and it's about kids our age being the only survivor of plane crashes.
i'm pretty sure my dream job would to be a CNN documentary filmmaker. #SoleSurvivorFilm is so good.
#SoleSurvivorFilm These are tragic stories. Unlike the hundreds of deaths that occur daily from medical error, these are unlikely to recur.
#SoleSurvivorFilm Tears are good therapy.
Bahia talking about her mother is such a difficult scene. We all want to wrap our arms around her and hold her forever.
This is such a great scene that was captured. Wonderful and says so much about the human spirit.
It's hard to be a family member who lost someone but until tonight never realized what it does to a survivor of a disaster.
#SoleSurvivorFilm is fascinating but haunting & sad. Terrible of me to say, but there's a great Stephen King-esque novel in these stories.
This #SoleSurvivorFilm has me all kinds of choked up ????
California outlawed the sale of magazines larger than 10 rounds since 2000. Owners who owned large ones before the law took effect could keep them.
The sale of the high-capacity magazine used by a gunman who killed at least 12 people at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California, late Wednesday is prohibited under California law and possessing it would have been illegal, too, by a state law currently blocked by a federal court.
Sheriff Geoff Dean said the gunman, who was also killed, was armed with a Glock 21 – a .45-caliber, semi-automatic handgun.
Dean did not specify the size of the extended magazine, but most high-capacity magazines for the gun that are for sale online hold 26 rounds. "Drum" magazines that are compatible with the handgun can hold as many as 40 rounds.
California has outlawed the sale of magazines larger than 10 rounds since 2000 but owners who owned larger ones before the law took effect were permitted to keep them. But Gun control advocates argued the previous law was not effective because there was no way to determine when or where a high-capacity magazine was purchased.
In 2016, California voters approved a proposition in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting, which made it illegal to possess magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Those whose magazines previously had been "grandfathered" were required to alter them or get rid of them.
Before the new law could take effect, it was blocked by a federal judge after a lawsuit by California gun owners, argued the law was unconstitutional. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the injunction pending the resolution of the lawsuit, which was joined by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, the state National Rifle Association affiliate.
Adam Skaggs, chief counsel for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said the magazine used in Thousand Oaks was probably obtained illegally because it's unlikely the 28-year-old gunman purchased before the 2000 law was passed.
"It just confirms the serious safety risks that these magazines entail," Skaggs said.
"When someone is forced to stop and reload it creates an opportunity to escape. It creates an opportunity to try and disable the shooter. That's why restricting access to these is so important in terms of making mass shootings less deadly."
Skaggs said it is no single gun law can prevent every mass shooting and that it is impossible to know if the shooter would have obtained a high-capacity magazine with or without the "unfortunate" court injunction.
But he said that if the law prohibiting high-capacity magazines is "enforced and put into effect, it's going to reduce the number of potentially dangerous shooters who have access to these types of devices, and in the long run will save lives."
Gun rights activists argue that the government cannot prevent all acts of violence and that people are safer when they exercise, rather than restrict, the Second Amendment.
"Once more we see the devastating effects of the illusion of safety that gun control laws and policies are founded upon," the Firearms Policy Coalition said in a statement Thursday. "Gun control proponents like Gavin Newsom, California’s incoming governor, are irrationally committed to passing more and more laws that just do not prevent violent people from doing evil things."
California has some of the more restrictive gun laws in the country and federal law is somewhat stricter when it comes to handguns.
Anyone who buys or is given a handgun in California has to get a state-issued firearm safety certificate, which comes with a fee of up to $25 and must be renewed every five years.
In California, even "private party transfers" – such as those at gun shows – must involve a licensed firearms dealer, unless the person is giving or selling the gun to a family member.
Concealed carry permits in California can be issued by a sheriff, if a person can show that they need one. The state does not honor carry permits issued by other jurisdictions. On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from California residents challenging the law.
There is also a minimum 10-day waiting period and in addition to the federally-mandated background check, the California Department of Justice is required to check its own records and records from the Department of State Hospitals, according to the Giffords Law Center.
Gabby Giffords, a former Democratic member of the House of Representatives, was shot along with 18 others while meeting with constituents in 2011. The gunman in that attack used a Glock 19 pistol and carried two 33-round magazines, according to The Washington Post.
Under federal law, a person has to be 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer and 18 to get a handgun from an individual. Rifles and shotguns can be sold to people 18 and over, and unlicensed individuals can give them to people of any age, according to the Giffords Law Center.
Under the 1968 Gun Control Act, anytime someone buys two or more handguns within five days, it must be reported to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Because of concerns about guns being run into Mexico, multiple rifle sales must also be reported to the ATF in the four southern border states: Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. That policy expires in 2021. Outside of those states, multiple rifle or shotgun sales in other states do not have to be reported, regardless of the number.
"But as today made abundantly clear, as San Bernardino made abundantly clear, even in California the risk of this kind of horrific shooting is unavoidable."
Ready Army is a proactive campaign to prepare the Army community by informing Soldiers, their Families, and Army Civilians of relevant hazards and appropriate response actions and encouraging everyone to "get a kit, make a plan and be informed."
The G-3 Installation Preparedness Branch, Army Emergency Management program (Force Protection Division, Army Asymmetric Warfare Office) protects Soldiers, Families, Army Civilians and contractors from all hazards and enhances mission assurance by providing policy, guidance and resources to deliver a comprehensive emergency preparedness capability to the Army. The program's Ready Army campaign provides information on actions to take before, during and after an emergency. A complete toolkit of fact sheets, posters, brochures, press kits and multimedia resources reinforces mass warning and notification procedures and identifies required actions, including shelter-in-place, evacuation, safe haven and accountability and reporting responsibilities. Ready Army is partnered with the Department of Homeland Security's national preparedness campaign, "Ready" and tailored to the unique needs of our Army community around the world. Ready Army is currently piloted at Fort Hood and within United States Army, Europe (USAREUR).
We live in an era of persistent conflict where global terrorism and extremist ideologies threaten our safety and freedom. The increased risk of nuclear, biological and chemical attacks and the threat of natural crises such as pandemic influenza, hurricanes (June is Hurricane Preparedness Month) and flash floods demonstrate the need for our Army community to be prepared for any emergency. In the event of an emergency, Ready Army will save lives and property. Every day Ready Army will enhance the quality of support to our Soldiers, Families and Army Civilians. Collectively, comprehensive emergency preparedness efforts enhance the strength and resilience of our all-volunteer force and support installation and force readiness.
Ready Army will launch Army-wide in September to coincide with National Preparedness Month.
"We train as though we're going to have the worst hurricane tomorrow. We've got to train that way. ... We can't be too complacent."
Who said Yanks were the crazy patriots? Citizens of 33 countries were asked to rated their trust, admiration, respect and pride of their homeland. Australia ranked first. Time for another Southern Cross tattoo?
Last spring, I wrote about ExxonMobil's Outlook for Energy in which the energy company prognosticates about what the world's energy mix will look like to the year 2040. Well, ExxonMobil is not alone in trying to predict the future of energy. The United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) also prepares an annual report that looks to the United States' energy markets through to 2040 and it recently issued its early release of its final report (to be issued in the spring 2014). The report says that we should expect increased supplies of domestically produced oil and gas, less reliance on coal and energy from renewable sources exceeding that of nuclear power. With the discussion of Gov. Rick Snyder's energy proposals, Michigan may be on track with the EIA's forecasts.
The report looks at future energy outlook through a variety of viewpoints: production, usage by sector, generation, and fuel-specific analysis. As the report is based on an assumption of static conditions over the term of analysis, changes in policy, economic condition and even population growth could result in a very different world than that the report anticipates. Yet, this exercise helps identify trends and movement towards future policy upon which policymakers, investors and developers can rely.
Production of natural gas and oil in the United States is at record levels, due in large part to fracking. The report anticipates that trend to continue. This trend has resulted in the percentage of foreign energy resources used in the United States from 30 percent in 2005 to 16 percent in 2012, ultimate falling to 4 percent by 2040.
However, the trend is not entirely reliant on energy production. The other end of the energy equation -- usage -- is also in play. Less gas is expected to be used in transportation due to lower vehicle miles, continued improvements in mileage (as mandated by current Clean Air Act regulations), expanded use of freight rail travel, more use of electric and hybrid vehicles, and expanded use of liquefied natural gas as aa transportation fuel. Efficiency and lower population growth rates drive less electricity use for commercial enterprises and residential use.
The report anticipates that natural gas will represent 30 percent of fuel consumed (for all uses) in 2040 up from 27 percent today. The percentage of oil and other liquids will be down to 32 percent from the current 37 percent level. Renewables will represent 10 percent of fuel consumed, up from 8 percent today. Coal and nuclear remain steady at 18 and 8 percent, respectively.
As for electricity production, natural gas will represent 35 percent of the fuel mix and renewable will be at 16 percent, which is on a par with nuclear power. Coal will be down from an historical 52 percent share of electricity generation to 32 percent in 2040. According to the Report, "[i]ncreased generation with renewable energy, excluding hydropower, accounts for 28 percent of the overall growth in electricity generation from 2012 to 2040 . . . "
So, we have an idea of what the energy mix will look like, but what will the costs of energy cost be? As petroleum is sold on the worldwide market, its costs will be dependent on forces outside the United States, impacted by domestic supply marginally. Plus, the crude that is developed in the OPEC countries is far cheaper to exploit than US sources of oil. Helpfully, the EIA has collected data that show that on average it cost $33.76 a barrel to produce oil in the United States, while in the Middle East it cost just $16.88 a barrel.
In the short term, as oil production increases, a barrel of oil will move from $112 a barrel in 2012 to $92 a barrel in 2017. At that point, EIA anticipates that oil costs will increase to $141 a barrel in 2040. As the largest driver of gasoline costs is the cost of crude, US gas prices should move down to $3.03 a gallon by 2017 then rise to $3.90 a gallon by 2040.
Natural gas prices should also increase steadily. One of the drivers of the price will be whether significant quantities of natural gas are exported, as increased exportation will likely drive prices higher. The amount of gas from Canada will diminish and exports via pipeline to Mexico will increase, although that may change with recent changes in Mexican energy policy. If natural gas terminal facilities are developed for the exportation of liquefied natural gas, natural gas prices may rise. However, those facilities are extremely costly to build and doing so could be a risky gamble.
Finally, what does the Report see as the future of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to energy use? Reduced energy use the residential, transportation and commercial sectors of the economy appear to be offset by greater consumption in the industrial sector. Also, reduced reliance on nuclear power (which has zero GHG emissions) would offset reductions of GHG emissions gained by moving away from coal towards natural gas and renewables. EIA expects that energy-related CO2 emissions will be 7 percent below 2005 levels in 2040.
We're not so far removed from the holiday season to reflect on the words of Ebenzer Scrooge, who asked the Ghost of Christmas Future: "Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?" Laws, policies, economic growth or contraction, population growth are just a few of the things that may change how 2040 really looks. Or, as Scrooge observed, "[b]ut if the courses be departed from, the ends will change."
Netflix has updated its web player with a redesigned control bar and better support for small windows and advanced controls in full screen mode.
Some screenshots shared with us by Jacob Penderworth demonstrate the new look well while in action.
There is also a nice overlay that appears when a player is paused that shows information about the media being played. You can read Jacob’s thoughts on the new interface here.
I tried the new player in Google Chrome and Safari, and Chrome does not appear to work at the moment, claiming an old version of Microsoft’s Silverlight plugin as the issue. Even when updated, it still refused to play, though, so I’m assuming it’s an incompatibility with the new player. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.
Update: Make sure you’ve updated to Chrome 19.0.1084.46 at least, as that corrected the Silverlight problem for me.
Media frenzy to the contrary, a warm winter doesn't point to the end of the world--scientific evidence does.
Scientific consensus has been warning us for years that climate change is real. But the mountain of scientific evidence wasn’t enough on its own for the issue to penetrate mainstream debate. For some to be convinced of the coming environmental threats, they needed to feel the heat. Literally.
So with freakishly warm temperatures over the last year, many pundits are now increasingly alarmed over the fate of the planet.
While it is clearly good news that attention, long overdue, is being given to the fact that humans are causing climate change, it is dangerous to use an unseasonably warm winter as evidence of the problem. The reason is simple: The current weather is one of the least compelling bits of evidence for climate change and, in fact, may not be evidence at all.
“Seeing one event–a heat wave in December in Washington or a cold snap in January in Washington–and from that arguing that global warming is or isn’t real is not good science,” said Richard Alley, one of the authors of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, in an e-mail to The Nation.
It may also prove to be counterproductive. Imagine if next winter the Northeast is hit with an average snowfall and typically cold temperatures. Will Pat Robertson and his followers be convinced that God has saved us from global warming? Will Tom Friedman’s readers take a deep breath knowing there is no strange vegetation in the columnist’s garden? Will people still take seriously the coming problems or the urgency with which the world needs to act?
“If next year the temperature is cold, the people who have relied on the weather as evidence will be discredited,” Muga said.
But the actual evidence seems persuasive enough. There is plenty of verifiable data from experts that says global warming is very real and very bad.
§ The IPCC report released February 2, involving leading scientists from 113 countries, concluded that climate change is so severe that it will “continue for centuries” and that, unless curbed, it could cost us more than a million lives by 2100.
§ The Stern Review, released in October by prominent British economist Sir Nicholas Stern, concluded that climate change could have drastic economic consequences. The report called global warming “the greatest market failure the world has ever seen” and predicted that its effects could displace more than 200 million people by the year 2050.
Sounds pretty serious, even without the mention of mysterious daffodils (which, according to the American Daffodil Society, are “quite tolerant of cold” and have been known to grow in January, even in icy conditions).
Clearly, the coming dangers from climate change are grounded in reality. It would be wise to make sure that the dialogue over it is, as well.

In our experience, the best work connecting philosophy and literature manifests a thoroughgoing integration of specialized skills and knowledge drawn from both disciplines. Philosophy + Literature major tracks offer students serious mainstream training within criticism and within philosophy, as well as courses designed to synthesize the two. Ideally, our students will contribute fresh insights into what literature and philosophy are capable of in combination, after first reaching an understanding of what each is and does on its own.
The undergraduate major tracks are offered through participating departments. Students in these tracks take courses alongside students from other departments that also have specialized tracks associated with the Initiative in Philosophy and Literature.
