they lack that adaptive capacity. so they're in deep, the future looks much bleaker for those nations that lack that adaptive capacity. so building that capacity is really, really important. health impacts will vary from one location to another, and you'll hear from my subsequent speaker more about the health effects of health impacts of climate change. i'm not going to say anything more about that. but let me emphasize really the final comments, future vulnerability really depends, not just on how much the climate change is because i guess at this point, you know, we're not -- it's going to change, a question of how much. that's in our hands. but also the development pathway that especially that at-risk peoples of the world take. and we can have a big role in that, as well. and i think as we -- a very important connection between sustainable development and the vulnerabilities to the peoples of the world to climate change. so that's the final thing i want to leave you with and with that, we can take questions later a

maybe i will have them play a game of wii tennis themselves so we can see how the adaptive equipment're going to go to quit. we're going to a different sport. we're going to go to baseball. all right. we have two players for baseball. in baseball, you have a pitcher and hitter. i will be pitching. actually, i will be hitting. she will be pitching. are you ready? ok. go ahead. oh, no. [laughter] that is not good. all right. i have one strike on me. oh, no. this is horrible. the pressure. oh, i think i struck out. this is not good. [laughter] ok. very good. she can choose different pitches to pitch. that is kind of fun. here is our team. our team is getting ready to take the field. we will be playing each other in a really tough game of baseball. it looks like a nice day over at&t park. let's do this thing. oh, i swung too late. strike one. too early. strike two. oh, no. [laughter] i'm out. this is awful. this is very embarrassing. pitch. yes! what a catch! that was a great catch. our final out in the inning. go ahead. fouled it off. destroyed. uh oh. oh, no. i did not score that innin

and it helps those roots to develop and get adapted. but generally most trees don't need a lot of fertilization if your soil conditions are very bad, you might want to amend the soil, i always like to do organic soil. we work with a variety of nurseries in the area. so there's not just one. we have some nurseries where we get a lot of the same species that ke with count on them. sometimes we have to go a little bit further up field. there are a few nurseries that they are not based in the city. they are based in the nearby areas where there is more land. and they have to be acity-approved vendor. so we are restricted -- a lot of times is having that paperwork. everybody is qualified, they just haven't done that. but there are some good >> this is newly constructed within the last month or so, new sidewalk. what can you tell us about this? >> as i said earlier, spikas a hearty urban tree. they have aggressive roots and sometimes they daniel the infrastructure, with the fica tree, we can repair the sidewalk around it, it doesn't mean we s

and to try to adapt at discrete i people have done film adaptations of james joyce's ulysses some people are impressed by yeah right so. great literature cannot be adapted it has to be reinvented and when when somebody like james ivory or with his great writer ruth proud when they take classics they don't adapt they reinvent to keep the spirit of the work and if they can manage to do that if they if it feels like e.m. forster and yet is a reinvention nobody complains well i'll try to guess i think your favorite movie of all time says alice in wonderland. michael had an out that's a great story that made a great movie and great my favorite of my favorite band the. star it's the one difference i don't know about the fulfilled makes every kid who writes terrifying thank you very much thanks very much for being with us and just to remind that my guest today was robert mckee the world famous screenwriting teacher pastor and screenwriter in south and that's it for now from on i. will be back and so then take care thank you you thank .

you have adapted to air pollution regulations and adapted to spill regulations. you pride yourselves on your compliance with regulatory regimes that impose costs on you for making the oil industry sustainable and a political and environmental sense. why not just adapted these regulations? he sort of said we thought the cost of the whole aconda me was too great and that would break up economic progress and so forth but there was a visceral reaction to kyoto that exxonmobil have that was kind of out of line with their actual business. i would understand if you are coal company and you see kyoto come think -- coming. the oil industry, because of the mick so guess which is a lower footprint, they had an opportunity to adapt to this any more in a more forward-leaning way and frank a. the european company saw that and their public was already there are. >> host: another idea that i found interesting in the book is and you raise a couple of times, at least twice that i remember, but we are not hearing it at alright now in washington with gasoline prices is regulating ga

and they had themselves adapted. they had accepted the validity of these environmental goals when it comes to spills and air pollution and so forth. and they had adapted themselves. imposed costs on themselves in order to build the sustainable compact be. so just at the moment when they've got cruising speed on all of the other environmental issues that arose in the first three or four decades of the oil world, now comes this other existential, more abstract, global challenge to the primacy of fossil fuels in our system. now, so -- and i think that was one factor. lee raymond personally as a trained chemical engineer and as a very direct and, you know, determined chief executive decided that he would just say what he thought and use exxonmobil's resources to prosecute his views. most corporate chief executives even if they have that personal conviction would not have acted as aggressively as he did, but that's who he was. so that was a second factor. you know, the book reflects -- i interviewed raymond, and i asked h

one of the ways that my program stepping stone has had to adapt is we have so many clients who are hiv positive or have aids, that we have to be medication savvy. you know, many treatment programs will have kind of a blanket prohibition on psychoactive drugs or, you know, heavy-duty medications. we-we decided years ago that we couldn't- we couldn't hold to that. that our clients who either had co-occurring disorders and required psychoactive medication or who were on the various cocktails they needed as a part of their hiv/aids treatment really needed a treatment program that was very savvy about that. so we began to develop some case management services with funding from the hiv/aids side as well as co-occurring. and i think, as a result, our clients have a much better access to recovery because their medications are not being prohibited by the treatment program. john's point is well taken; it's not just individual with hiv/aids, it's people with co-morbidities that require medications or unique accommodations. and the programs have to be sensitive to it. and i think the hiv/aids popu

we adapt to that. our approach means to be something that is adaptable to what we are confronting now. we want to recover. we want people to come back. we want the economy to come back from a disaster. we want to recover and rebuild and move on. >> was the world resilience your invention? >> no. many people have written about that and to emergency management and homeland's security before i arrived. >> does it ever get to be difficult? can make it through this bureaucratic talking get to the point? >> we have driven their pretty quickly. we get a lot of requests for the precise definition. he will see it reflected in the president's national security strategy. what are the guiding principles about this concept? not a rigid definition that would be for all time and for all people. i think there would be a lot of hubris involved in that. we do try to cut through the bureaucratic language in get to the outcomes. >> just in researching your background, i watched the speech you have given us on you to befor

again, flexibility to adapt the needs of the various states as well as flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of agricultural as new science was develop developed and the world changed. very importantly, this flexibility also allowed the land grant institutions themselves to grow and expand into new fields that responded to the needs of the growing and changing united states. while i believe morill emphasized the mechanic arts because of their impact on farm machinery and agricultural productivity, land grant institutions developed programs across the entire breath of what we now call engineering in a way that not only enhanced their service to agricultural but position these institutions to provide a tech logically literal population needed by the industrializing united states in the 20th century. morill's land grant institutions were not only responsive to the united states of the 19th century, their emphasis on science and technology positioned them well for the united states of the 20th century. fourth, the focus on low cost educational opportunities and range of practical fields fo

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.

adapting to new challenges is what the naval service does best. this is not a time for playing it safe. it's a time for imagination. a time for initiative. a time for putting new ideas into action. that has always been at the heart of the naval service. at the dawn of the republic, commadore pribble urged young officers to take the navy in new directions. during the war of 1812, his boys provised a flotilla that defeated the british on lake erie. during the civil war, david farragut and his young officers embraced the new technology of iron ships, blockaded the rebel states and doomed the rebellion. his famous words are one of history's finest expressions of initiative and they are built into your very bones. vice admiral miller tells me that you can finish this one so, let me hear it from all of you loud and clear. damn the torpedos. that initiative is what carried us through the generations. when teddy roosevelt sent the great fleet around the world, the admirals at that time didn't want to bring along the brand new destroyers. that didn't sit w
