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

instead of adapting and moving forward they tried to adapt by moving backward. that is something they are going to have to seriously decide. the tea party people have cost the republicans at least six seats in the united states senate. if they had the seats the republicans would have a majority in the senate. the tea party said, hey, todd akin look pretty good. richard mourdock looks pretty good. looks pretty good to who? >> yes, sir. >> i am an astute observer of politics. i do not know if he studied this, but i would like to ask the question that -- have you studied the political landscape as far as the rising political interest of the majority of muslims in this country, which is black american muslims? with the advent of barack obama, all these religious ideas about him and so forth. keith ellison, one of the congressmen who is muslim in politics as well -- have you had any type of study on this particular subject matter? is this obama's rise to power -- is this symbolic of something to come from the black american muslim community? >> you want to know, have

it's being able to adapt to the change of technology. all of our supporters and know this and between the mobile apapps industry and you will hear more from james jones and talk about communication technology and everybody in the room has a hand held computer and think about ten years ago we didn't have that so the change in technology is important. you can see what we're focused on in the 35 growing occupations in san francisco. all of that is incorporated into our curriculum and make it adaptable. the partnership with sf tech and city college is there and you heard about jaun going back to school and we are emphasizing placement we want all the folks have the tools that they need including degrees and the advanced credentials to be successful in this industry. tech sf we're trying to align with the industry trends as you see on the board. the young lady talked about computer engineer. there is system analysis. there is graphic design which is a rich industry in this city as it relates to technology, so our goal is to make sure when you

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

adaptation of the latest boxing day is the head of the british film festival held in moscow these days the director's name is very relaxed and he's my guest on the show. bernard rose won his first serious film contest at the age of fifty while in college he was already directing music videos for m.t.v. his debut picture paper house led the prodigy from london strayed to hollywood there he made the successful horrifically can demand and began his fascination with the be told when biopic rose is the kind of director who always puts quality of story first even without huge budgets he can make a masterpiece as he did filming the tragedy of a hollywood agent on an amateur camcorder recently he made his fifth movie based on a classic story by the russian writer. welcome to the show thank you thank you very much for being with us well first of all i wanted to ask you. when i was getting ready for that interview i was getting ready to put that english accent and and talk to you as if there's a british filmmaker but you just told me that you're actually not a british folk and he was so are you

>> rose: we continue with anna aristotle the classic tolstoy novel, it is visited in a new fill adaptation, we talk to the play right and joe wright, the director. >> i kind of treated tolstoy like an equal, he is an extraordinary vein thing to attempt on my part but actually it is sort of a version of respect, because you are not doing him a service by trying to transmute one kind of art form into another. without taking account of what has to be gained and what has to be lost. >> rose: chinese politics and a russian love story when we continue. funding for charlie rose was provided by the following. >> rose: additional funding provided by these funders. and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: once every ten years china changes its government, they do it the party congress in beijing, xi jinping was named president and chairman he succeeds huh engine too and chose six people who wi

what is the answer to climate change, and how can we all adapt to this new normal of hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods? i'll talk to jeffrey sachs and "time" magazine's brian walsh. and why does the world's greatest democracy have such an antique, disorganized, irregular way of voting? i'll take a look. but first, here's my take. growing up in india in the 1960s and '70s i always thought of america as the future. it was the place where the newest technology, the best gadgets, the latest fads seemed to originate. seemingly exotic political causes, women's liberation, gay rights, ageism, always seemed to get their start on the streets of the united states or in the courts and legislatures. for me tuesday's election brought back that sense of america as the future. the presidential race has been discussed as one that was about nothing, with no message or mandate, but i don't think that's true. put aside the re-election of barack obama and consider what else happened this week. three states voted to legalize same-sex marriage, which is the civil rights cause of our times. one day we will look

instead of adapting and moving forward they tried to adapt by moving backward. that is something they are going to have to seriously decide. the tea party people have cost the republicans at least six seats in the united states senate. if they had the seats the republicans would have a majority in the senate. the tea party said, hey, too akin look pretty good. richard mourdock looks pretty good. looks pretty good to who? >> yes, sir. >> i am an astute observer of politics. i do not know if he studied this, but i would like to ask the question that -- have you studied the political landscape as far as the rising political interest of the majority of muslims in this country, which is black american muslims? with the advent of iraq obama -- barack obama, all these religious ideas about him and so forth. keith ellison, one of the congressmen who is muslim in politics as well -- have you had any type of study on this particular subject matter? is this obama's rise to power -- is this symbolic of something to come from the black american muslim community? >> you want

leader development, how we want to adapt organizations, and how we want to adapt capabilities. and to me that's important. and what we don't want to do is rush into this. and that's -- we have to take our time. we have to continue to iterate. this is not a one-time answer. when the budget comes out here in 1317 budget, that's one shot then we got the 14-1, 15-19, 16-20 that all affect as the chief of staff of the army. overbuilding that army time, understanding the resource that is are available to do that. >> it's true that as you described that process. it's one of the strengths of the defense department, if you will, is the ability to have not only an it aive process but one that's fiscally disciplined and programs out for a number of years in the future so you have a road map and mapped your resources against it. we are a little bit out of practice at doing that partly because we have been busy doing other things. partly because supplementals. how do you re-establish that capability inside the army? >> i remind -- i try to remind all our leaders that the last 10 years have

i'm sure if they go to some installers -- >> and then you could just charge it through your ac adaptern your car. >> when it slides in, it's mounding and charging. >> it backs part of your car, it's your console -- >> it's charging? >> as we know, many areas were left without electricity for quite a long time in the wake of superstorm sandy. one of those was in new hampshire, and these brothers have a way to discuss their feelings about their power being out a long time. >> it's really cold here ♪ ♪ you see the fallen trees, and it smells like rotten cheese ♪ it's to the tune of take me home dark country roads. ♪ i can't see what i'm reading ♪ i can't see where i pee ♪ light my home, keep me safe after the storm ♪ it's an oed to pico, their electric company, and we have the brothers joining us "right this minute" from skype. where did you get the idea for this song? it was out of boredom. >> we started to fight a little bit, we're stuck in the house, and we put it into music, and our friend said write a song to pico. >> where did you shoot this video, is this near our house? >> yeah, i

( applause ) >> suarez: some of the worst was in florida, where voting lines ran up to seven hours in parts of miami. but under state law, any voter who arrived before closing time was allowed to cast a ballot and in this miami suburb, the last

later development in that we want to adapt organizations and how we want to adapt capabilities and to me that's important. what we don't want to do is rush in to this and we have to take her time and we have to continue to iterate. this is not a one time answer. when the budget comes out here and the 1317 budget, that is one shot. we have the 1518 and the 1620. it is an iterative process and building that army over time, understanding the resources that are available. >> it's true as you describe that iterative product -- iterative process is one of the strengths of the defense department, the ability to have not only an iterative process but one that is fiscally disciplined and where its program for a number of years into the future so you have a roadmap and you can map your resources against it. we are a little bit out of time time and doing that partly because -- and partly because with a supplemental and budget increases we have not had to wrestle with this. >> i remind, try to remind all of our leaders that the last 10 years have been a resource rich environment and i mean that b

they're not tinking of how to stop it hour to be adaptive. we've not ben doing what we need do.oing our homework. when the engineers look at this in the united states, the infrastructure specialists, they're aghast and they've been telling us year in and year out our infrastructure is not up to even maintenance, but it's not up to the climate change that's also under way. >> what was it about this -- our infrastructure that made this worse than it had to be because in your -- as you say, a lot of this destruction was manmade in the sense that we had the wrong infrastructural or such -- or it was in such a state of disrepair that we caused a lot more damage than we needed to. >> well, it's manmade in a sense. we've put 4 million americans around the country within a few feet of high tide. those are the people who are vulnerable. it has happened. it's going to become a bigger problem in years to come. particularly when it comes to sandy, we still have hundreds of thousand of people who lack power. people lose power. so one simple way we can deal with that is try to put manufacture

but does he have the flexibility to move and to be political and to strong arm people and to adapt to the current conditions? that's the unknown about mitt romney as president in my judgment. >> here is the cover of "parade" magazine with joe and mika on the cover. hey, mr. president, how is it that you actually govern? so you're focused on this question as well, joe. >> i am. and we talk about bipartisan in "parade" this week, and you showed the picture of mika jo staring at me and not backhanding me. i think that's a positive step e forward. she practices restraint every ng day. so if you look at that picture, it looks like she's about to haul off and hit me. i think that's a good sign not l only for "morning joe" but for america. >> i really believe that is thet great undercurrent in the country. they want them to work together. >> yes.s >> and there's been no

, capable of adapting to change. during the late 1990s, the higher education forum conducted a study of ceos and what they sought from college graduates, and while they expected some skills that might have made it relevant, what they were really after was individuals, first of all, that were committed to continue and had the capacity to continue to learn that could not only adapt to change, but drive change, and could adapt to an increasingly diverse world in terms of culture, characteristics, and so forth, which in their sense, really defined the importance of a liberal education as the background for this. i mention i irritated my colleagues at the national academy of engineers last sunday by giving a major address challenging them to go through the flex process, and realize an undergraduate professional degree makes noceps whatsoever in the world as we know it. in michigan right now, the last -- aside from engineering, the only other undergarage watt program we have is dental hygiene, and it's about time for engin

so do the words "resourceful" and "adaptable," in referring to the brain itself. we've learned a little bit from neuscience about how the central nervous system works and how it might respond to inputs-- how it learns, how it adapts-- and we can even image some of that adaptatio using function imaging techniques. this is a series of functional mri scans done at four points in time: right after a person had a stroke; a few weeks later; several months after that; and six months after that. so this man had a stroke that caused him to have paralysis of his right arm, at the time that we did this study, we asked him to try to open and close his hand a little bit. and he was unable to do that at all. what we see is a tiny activation of the hand area over the area that it should occur in the motor cortex of the brain. but, interestingly, we see the opposite side, the normal side of the brain, becoming activated and some supplementary motor areas, even though he really can't move the hand yet. in the second set of scans, he can now move his fingers a little bit, and what

the question is how does the company adapt? it adapts because people look at the world around them. they say, oh, we should be doing this, learning this, trying this. this is how, for example, the media landscape will change. this is what we should do online, with twitter, with blogs, ittumblr. >> do you worry about linkin becoming a big old company? >> we work for big old companies and people say, try this. well, we have a form to fill out and you have to talk to the board. >> you transitioned from being a zodiac to the titanic. how do you feel about it with linkedin? >> it's big, old. >> i think you always have to be paranoid and terrified that that's where you are heading. you need to correct for it. one of the things we talk about is you can never say, we're done now. one of the ways we do it at linkedin is we have a company group and everyone can say, here is what i think we should be doing. something we should pay attention to. sometimes i get employees saying, remember this phrase you talk about how to stay entrepreneurial. could you start a discussion so we can talk about th
