it is very adaptive. then, really interesting.hat about someone who may be a quadriplegic and does not have the ability to use arms or legs? there is a sip and tug adapter that allows someone to control the wii with his or her mouth. you can still engaged the wii by puffing into the tube. this company has made the wii completely accessible for anyone to play. it is a great option. if you want more information about the adaptive equipment for the wii, visit alicia's booth. >> i work for the independent living center in san francisco. i manage a program for people with disabilities that need assistance devices. there is a great program with the at&t network. a co-worker and i work with it. if anyone is interested in borrowing the equipment, you can call our office. we can help you to register. it has no cost. you can keep it up to 30 days. you can borrow a lot of things that will help people with different needs to play wii or do anything else. even simple things. let's say someone wants to buy a walker but you are not sure what kin

cary pearloff said you want to do a play for us, how about adapting rashamon. i said, sure. as is the case when i do this, sometimes i go in a straight line and sometimes i end up somewhere totally different. i've grown to accept it, that i'm going to follow the horse wherever it goes and hope that the theater is comfortable with it. so it started off as rashamon and i couldn't find an entree into it. for me, when i do an adaptation, i try to frame it in present day life context or contextualize it in another moment and bring that skeletal story line structure into it. and i couldn't make any headway. then a story that had been kind of floating around in my head kind of came to the fore, and is as the case when i write, there will be story lines floating around in my head for years, years and years are floating around in my head waiting for a moment to find its moment. and this story that i had been working on off and on about this boarding house in san francisco post internment camps. as i worked on this rashamon story, this other one came alive and they began to meld and t

and this is an adaptive screenplay. you find it starts to open up for you? >> absolutely. a screenplay has got to be a very tight to document. you've got to compress a lot of ideas into a very tight space. first of all, you have to have this idea of what the book means to you, what you want to focus on, because a book can be 300, 500 pages and export a lot of things, but first of all, you have to find that one notion that excites you to get up in the morning to work on it, and then you have to find that rhythm, that total, i think what you're talking about. in the case of "life of pi," there is a lot of culture, religion, and good if you are reading and leisurely sunday morning in your house, and you have a chance to get up and get a cup of coffee, but when you are watching a film, you have to get to the essence very quickly, and what you do not want to do is have the audience feeling lectured. we were trying to find the right tone, the sound for the dialogue. traveling to india together, we had gone back and forth a hundred times, any said it was like a young adults told

or you know there's the theory that depression might be adaptive because among primates the depressive ones are the ones who disengage from society become basically the sentinels for the community and there was a study back in the seventy's really pulled the depressed chimps out of a group in the in the group died because that nobody was warning to the predators and you could argue the depressed people among us are the ones you know the albert koos they're the ones who are saying look out. and you know the a.d.h. d. the hunter versus farmer theory that you know some people are are you know more in . the society benefits from having both the you know the do you think that there's an adaptive maladaptive aspect to either introversion or extroversion yeah i absolutely do and i think it's. one of the most interesting things that i found from my research is that there are an array of quotation marks introverts and extroverts in almost every single species in the animal kingdom and this is true all the way down to the level of proof lies. and the reason for this is exactly what you're sugges

one last but very important point -- the fbi has always adapted to meet new threats. we must continue to evolve because terrorists, spies, and hackers certainly will, but our values can never change. regardless of emerging threats, the impact of globalization or changing technology, the rule of law will remain the fbi's guiding principle. in the end, we know we will be judged not only by our ability to keep americans safe but also by what we safeguard the liberties for which we are fighting and maintain the trust of the american people. yes, our adversaries are persistent. they are clever. the pressures of globalization and technology are ever-present. change is a constant in today's world and we must prepare for it. yet, change is just one constant. the other is the american people's resolve. the same resolve drives the fbi every day, and together, we can and we will keep our country say from harm. thank you again for having me here today. i certainly will be happy to answer whatever questions you might have.

you have adapted to air pollution regulations, adapted to spill regulations, you run -- you pride yourselves on your compliance with regulatory regimes that impose costs on you for making the oil industry sustainable in a political sense. why not just adapt to these regulations. i found his answer not that convincing. he sort of said we thought the costs on the whole economy was too great. would break up america's economic process and so forth. but there was a visceral reaction to quioto that exxonmobil had that was kind of out 0 of line with their business interests. i understand if you're a coal company and you see a price on carbon coming. this could be ex- -- they had an opportunity to adapt to this in a more forward way, and frank through the european companies saw that and their publics were already there and they moved with much more adeptness, i thought. >> host: now, another yesterday found really interesting in the book, that you raise a couple times, at least twice, that i can remember -- you're not hearing it at all right now in washington with these gasoline prices. is regulatin

they come up with adaptive solutions. they rarely panic as long as they're not trapped and as long as they don't have a failure of someone seen as a leader. people who adapt the best in the long run are people who have learned that they're competent, who have an abiding sense of values, and who have commitments to other people that sustain them in moments of sorrow and grief and rage. i guess, kind of a take-home point with me is that one of the things that is important to recover from any type of traumatic event is some sense it had meaning and there's something i can do. i can't change the past, but i can change the future. ve observed that there comes a point for many people when you can make a choice. you can say, "there's somethg else i can do." it can be as simple as going for a walk, calling a friend, doing something, and there's a choice point that says, "ok. either i'll relive this experience again, or i'll take active steps to not relive the experience." when you recognize that you're choosing, then you have the

the environment is ever adapting. the risk out there -- what is the answer? many are working on forces that are well-trained. at the joint and combined level. these forces rely on their adaptive capabilities. how do we do that with this goal constraints? -- fiscal constraints? we focus on three things, which are related. firstly, a more effective command and control chain. from the political level done to the troops level. this is mission command. secondly, relevant intelligence. which would be able to feed the chain of command. in the most faster way as possible. and a precise and adaptive, i would say safer engagement of forces and optimize the use of force while minimizing the effects. there are two key factors and two key enablers. first and or most, the men and women. those dedicated people, they must be skilled enough, it educated, and they must get the best rules we can offer them. let's choose those tools. i would say the remote control system on their part of the invention provided that we can control it, if we can control the ethics, which we will d

now church officials say the church has always survived by managing to adapt by holding fast to or belief. the catholic church has worked on reaching out, but many of them have been detached from reality. the church has conservative views on sexuality and marriage, and the philippines is the only country in the world where divorce is not allowed. >> sometimes you have to learn to be unpopular. there are limits to what you can change. you cannot water down the truth. we can make expressions of our convictions. >> as much as church leaders are sticking to their convictions, the faithful are developing their own. >> it cannot always be up to the church to decide things. people should have a right to decide for themselves, depending on their circumstances. >> to remain devoutly catholic, and many other filipino catholics see no contradiction between adapting to

they have themselves adapted. they accepted the validity of the environmental goals read comes to spills and air pollution and so forth. they impose costs on themselves in order to build a sustainable compact. just a moment when they have cruising speed of all the other in burma to issues that arose in the first year for decades of oil, now comes this other existential more abstract global challenge to the primacy of fossil fuels and a system. i think that was one factor. personally as a trained chemical engineer and as a very direct manner determined chief executive decided that he would just say what he thought and use the resources to prosecute. most even if they had that conviction would not have acted as aggressively as he did. and so i ask the men will point, surely you could have handled the cost of modest carbon pricing legislation. look your cash flow, your profitability. why was this -- air pollution regulation, spill regulation. you pride yourself on your compliance with regulatory regimes that impose c

narrator: even the casinos and resorts have adapted to efficient water use. mulroy: the las vegas strip uses only 3% of all the water that we deliver. and when you think about it, it's the largest economic driver in the state, the largest employer, bar none. they knew they had to go the extra mile. and they've embraced conservation. and it's almost beyond belief that they're right now in the process of building another 15,000 rooms. southern nevada recycles 100% of its wastewater. so for every gallon we put back in the colorado, we can take an additional gallon out, or we send it to reuse facilities. and we deliver it to golf courses and parks and other outside applications. man: water's about a third of our budget. that's a lot of money. the lake right over here, 24 hours ago that was in somebody's house. it's been through a treatment plant. and now it's in our lake and we're watering with it. narrator: these reuse and conservation techniques enable las vegas to exist in the desert. another important form of conservation is preventing leaks. man: every drop

but i think the ideas will spark other innovations here and adaptations of their policies that might work in an american context. so i don't want to stand too much more between you all and hans and the rest of the group, so well -- i'll pass the microphone back and then we look forward to the discussion that follows. >> thank you, ellen. why don't we do this. i had first thought that we would have presentations and then questions and answers. maybe it's four presentations, 15 minutes each, why don't we have the presentations all in a row first and then unless you have clarifying questions, hold your questions until the very end and hopefully we will have enough time left over to have questions and answers. the first presentation is by mr. hans and i'm sure i mangled your name and you can do the same with mine. hans is an international coordinator, a is you si did i of the dutch knowledge center on traffic and transport. it's a knowledge center for expertise on cycling and other subjects. it runs the website bicyclecouncil.org and has cycling ambassadors to spread the word on dutch po

we'd like to expand our sustainable development program lands to include metrics and adaptation.we have -- we host ahh monthly ecodistrict presentation series which is really to keep our teams sharp. there's so much of this work is new. and innovative and we want to be able to ensure that we are -- our team is on that edge, as well as it's a public presentation series so the public is invited to bring the public into that as well. and to date, much of our work has been with the city family. and right now, we're about to embark and engage the community. so we've got a couple of outreach efforts. one is our type three ecodistrict through the living neighborhoods, and our central corridor, we're going to start a central corridor task force shortly to help inform the sustainability component to the central corridor plan. there's lots of information on the sustainable development web page. we did a summer internship program with swa group. there's an informational video on ecodistrict and a ecodistrict framework and the types and sustainable program in general. that concludes my prese

how can policies and program support local environmental knowledge in adaptive capacities to respond to droughts? we need more policy in place. >> we need more policy. some of the policies are undermining the capacity so sometimes we need policy. let me give you an example of some of the committee's committees working in the saharan in southwest or east south of moradi. in the last two decades and a half from the late 80s some committees have been improving and restoring the land. this movement which is a grassroots level movement has been coined as -- and it ended up restoring up to 5 million acres of land. as a matter fact, i think it was two years ago when those communities have been sufficient food security. so the difference is -- is contributing to those types of success stories. beyond that policy contributes to the knowledge sharing. one of the schemes of knowledge sharing is working in that region and those regions is farmer to farmer knowledge sharing, because farmers do trust farmers and when you take a farmer that is successful and you bring him to a community where peopl

how would you adapt to?s rooted in history the roman army to mention they prided themselves on adopting tech access their enemies. it made me stop and think. what enemy attacked except we adopt to? you don't want to adopt random ieds, but it made me wonder, are the things we could've done, should have learned that we haven't? is john noggle has famous written about, the army used to be a learning organization. what is that learning, how is that learning? these are the questions we should be asking. why are we asking them? but part of the fault is that they said people not wanting to diss the military. second, we have a congress developer knows how to talk to military. two thirds of the members of congress were veterans. today more than two thirds are not. >> a number will go down again. >> it constantly will go down. >> we have at the divide between 1% to fight the wars in 99% who generally ignore them these days, especially when they're no longer are worse. something that struck me recently is iraq today is

one of the main goals that we had for this was to allow our military a crisis response adaptive force package and opportunity to allow their training and certification in providing the most appropriate military expeditionary force for that scenario. one of the things that we realize in the military when we do these exercises in a foreign humanitarian response, that a lot of our military capabilities are not just for overseas foreign disasters but it also allows the military to be trained and certified to respond to local domestic disaster situations as well. i had mentioned that we had 22 nations participating in rimpac and this slide is a representation of the military and civilian partners that we had participating in this event. and we had many, many international partners and we had a lot of domestic partners: medical and military editionary partners as well. okay, this is our command and control slide. we took a lot of care to get this right. we wanted to make sure that we portray that we're there to assist and support the government that has requested our service to be there. we
