i looked up all these products as a teen, 20 products a day, i was surprised to discover, i had been with exposing myself to 200 products a day before i got on the school bus. what is in this stuff that we put on our bodies, put in our hair on a daily basis. that is what we have been working on and looking at for about the passed 5 years. these are the groups involved in the campaign for safe products. most poplar brands of all kinds of products, deodor rants, makeups, even baby shampoos contain chemicals that are toxic that get into our system. most of these chemicals, um, come from oil by-products, petroleum. this is true of the high end brands like cliniq ue. we know they are toxic, animal studies show they lead to certain health effects. it is okay because there is just a little bit of toxic chemical and you can't prove it causes harm. so of course, as we pointed out, none of us used this product today. here is a run down of my beauty routine, some of the things i was supposed to, 40 hormone chemicals, 17 carcinogens, 17 penetration chemicals. they draw others more deeply into th

they feared the shift to wartime production from civilian production would seriously damage the gains they had made in terms of union power, in terms of the union membership all through the '30s during the new deal, and they resist the effort to wartime production to a degree that lasts not just in the prewar period up until pearl harbor, that goes on afterwards and extends out beyond that as well. it's one of the shocking stories of this whole thing, the degree to which the labor unions haven taped a constant pattern of resistance, of strikes, every effort to get the wartime economy geared up and straightened out. and knudsen knows this, from the very beginning, that this is going to be a challenge he's going to have to face. in the end he calculates that probably 25% of production was lost as a result of union resistance to changes in the workplace, changes in rules about union membership that flowed out of the shift. all the same, knudsen still believes that he can do the job that roosevelt has put in front of him. because knudsen understands that once you set american businesses o

this is some of the lipstick products. some of you may have seen we had a bill in california industry, they said we can't get lead out of lipstick. but it is not in 39 percent of the products that we tested including this $1.99 wet and wild but found $8 lorel and and $24 lipstick. what we see consistently is that even the high end brands, you are paying for packaging and marketing. everybody likes to ask about cliniq u e if you go into a macies, you'll see the lab white coats and scientifically presented. it is the same set of chemicals packaged with a different marketing program. disturbing some of the women of color are among the most toxic. women are bombarded with light skinned looking models. every product claims to have a whitening benefit. here is an example of one of the ads that you'll see in china, procter and gamble, high end line sk 2, hugely poplar, this product was the cause of near riots in china in 2006 after the government reported it contained, band heavy metal. hundreds of women demanding refunds lined u

semiconductor product. vertically integrated japanese producers are quite able to sustain that selling below average cost production. and silicon valley startups, we're really on the verge of extinction. u.s. companies need an unencumbered access to foreign markets. they needed to improve their manufacturing skills. they needed to continue to attract capital, to improve the protection of their intellectual property and make sure universities were training engineers with relevant skills. they needed tax policies that supported the need for r and d spending. in short, they needed a complete strategy, not just a partial strategy of just a trade element and, in fact, all of the elements were put into place. and the result today is u.s. semiconductors which were half the world market share in the 1980s of japan are now double the japanese market share. in terms of supply and semiconductors account for one of the top in the united states. they have gone into upper new york state now with global foundries and the

, and production agricultural's contribution to the u.s. gross domestic product is now estimated to be approximately 1.2%. even taking account of the food distribution and processing system, agricultural is no longer the dominant industry of your nation. this productivity story has its roots in the science and technology that morill's colleges brought to agricultural practice. second, the declining farm population has had its impact on the vitality of rural america. fewer farmers, better transportation, relentless economies of scale, modern communication and supply chains in agricultural, has led to school closings, church closings, shuttered main street stores, and an aging population in many rural communities. the shrinking farm population is no longer large enough to support the social and commercial infrastructure of many rural communities. and in the absence of alternative sources of employment from outside agricultural, many rural communities, including here in the great plains, have simply disappeared. morill's vision of a more scien

because that production has boomed. american energy equals american jobs. it's a simple formula for job creation and economic growth, but clearly is one that this administration doesn't seem to understand. maybe that's because he doesn't know how desperate americans are for jobs. just a few weeks ago with unemployment above 8% and 23 million americans looking for work, our president told the american people that the private sector is doing, quote, just fine, end quote. if you don't know what the problem is, how can you possibly know how to fix it? mr. chairman ks in summary, this is the same president that that is issued the fewest amount of leases since 1984. he talks about an all of the above energy plan but blocks the ability to produce more oil and natural gas and coal and specifically doing so on public lands. for president obama, the all of the above is just a political convenient slogan, but for house republicans, it is a real job-creating energy policy. i urge my colleagues to vote for the domestic energy and jo

. >> susie: a big roll out of new products new products from apple today. mobile maps, higher-powered laptop displays, a big like for facebook. those are just a few of the new products and services apple c.e.o. tim cook announced to developers in san francisco. leading off apple's new product rollout: a new macbook pro featuring a super sharp retina display. it comes at a price though at $2199. the high-end laptop is one of the thinnest on the market and will compete with microsoft's powered ultra-books expected out in a few months. apple is also upgrading its software, making it much easier for iphone and ipad users to use facebook to like movies and apps in apple's itunes store. and google is on apple's radar. it's dropping google maps and developing a new version of its smartphone operating system with an apple-created mapping service. the new software will launch in the fall and there is already speculation that might be the time when apple launches another version of its iphone. dow dan costa of "pc" magazine.com joins us, hi, dan. didn't seem to be pe

technology neutral deduction, some standard to help boost energy production so domestic energy production but in a way that we're not picking winners and losers. i know it's a complicated question. if anybody wants to take a crack at it. those are things in my mind. dr. jorgenson? >> the main point i'd like to make, mr. chairman is that the opportunities are not so much on reducing the tax expenditures that you just enumerated. that is an important issue, but this committee over the years has worked to limit these tax expenditures and the things that we're talking about here in terms of expensing development and the percentage depletion and so on and i certainly agree with you, those should be reconsidered and the big issue, though, is on the side of the utilization of energy. in other words, a use of energy and that's where energy taxes really have to play a role. we have an opportunity to raise revenues equal to 1.5% of gdp and those are entirely on the side of using. they have nothing to do with technology, technology neutrality, that's another range of issues that's second relative to

the labor of productive industries and use it to modify them or to keep the productive nature of the industry going i guess from reading writing right now i don't know. why there are a couple of reasons but for one there's a feedback loop that is extremely negative so for example i believe the largest political campaign donor in the state of california is the prison guards union and part of the reason to do this is because they like to lobby for stronger laws not because they care about the rule of law but because it is a job and so if you see that these people are lobbying to create more prisons to jail more people to have longer sentences what is it they are effectively doing what they're doing is they're using the benefit that they actually receive for the labor that was actually beneficial arguably in the first place in order to expand the monopoly that the state grants to them in what they're allowed to do so they're just using it for wealth transfer from actual productive industries to the industries that are not productive you could sum it up that way you could also some of th

because that productive they have the money in order to make sure that they continue to be productive and that random legislation random legislation they come comes out as a result of political with making isn't constraining their productive activities in the best way to do that is in fact by congressman to take. the labor of all good productive industries and use it to modify the law to keep the productive nature of the industry going i guess from reading reading reading i know. that. there are a couple of reasons but for one there's a feedback loop that is extremely negative so for example i believe the largest political campaign donor in the state of california is the prison guard union and part of the reason to do this is because they like to lobby for stronger laws not because they care about the rule of law but because it is a job and so if you see that these people are lobbying to create more prisons to jail more people to have longer sentences what is it they are effectively doing what they're doing is they're using the benefit that they actually receive for the labor that was

gat production is at an all-time high. oil production in the united states is at an 80-year high. the oil production of the united states from domestic energy sources at an allyear high. some people who like to live in the fairy tale world of energy politics will say that that's all for private lands. it's not the kwcase. we have supported what's going on in private land in our policies but in public plans themselves, the total oil production, oil production from from lands and waters has increased 13% during the first three years of this administration, compared to the last three years of the previous administration. so anyone who is out there's saying that we are somehow stopping oil and gas production, they're simply wrong, living in a world of fairy tale, not in the world of reality. now, america's dependence on foreign oil has gone down every single year since president has become president of the united states. for all of us who worked and america's national security as an imperative to the security of this nation for the long term know how important that is. and so for us,

here is a great little product. say you are driving down the road and you have a wonderful idea and write a note to yourself where you can take this little wheel mate, attaches to the steering wheel. warning, never use this product while driving. >> john: that would seem like a reasonable warning. you don't want people to use it. as the company explained, they said it is impossible to use while driving. so the car would drive around in circles if you tried it but the lawyer said put it on just in case. >> that is what we hear. you will sued if you don't. a warning label on fishing harmful if swallowed. >> john: product three. >> this is neck pillow that parents will put around the neck of the infants in the car. >> john: so the child can be more comfortable. >> it keeps their head stable and hurting the child. warning label actually says keep this product away from facts and children. it's kind of hard to use it. >> john: we called the company and they didn't respond. this is number four. the electric skillet. autio

they get new products for -- markets for their products, in some cases markets for their waste productshave also seen tremendous growth in biofuels. this farm bill shifts our focus to the next generation of advanced biofuels, like cellulosic ethanol to continue lowering prices for families at the pump. according to a study by the university of wisconsin and the university of iowa, ethanol has already helped keep gas prices more than 1 dollar lower than they otherwise would be. it's the only competition we have at the moment tougher at the pump. what we need as tourisms is more choice, more competition so that compensation on foreign oil is not the only choice. many of our colleagues have different feelings about our energy policies, and the great thing about the farm bill is that it doesn't matter what you believe, no matter where you come from, it's a winner because it creates choices. if you want to reduce greenhouse gas pollution this bill is a winner. if you want to make america more energy independent so we aren't relying so much on foreign oil this bill is a winner. if you want fa

and w t i crude oil prices have been close to an eight month low as opec met today to talk about production quotas now according to media reports the group will not cut output amidst distress like this. while that was just italy but i'm talking about the broader weakening of the global economy now this decision is despite some calls for supply cuts to curb the price slide but excess supply the reason prices have come down not according to energy expert byron king he says the world's largest oil fields are depleting and global discovery rates are not keeping up we will speak to him and along those lines the question becomes what is the future of energy are green energy players a loser as without subsidies can anything compete with natural gas when it's prices so low and is nuclear is still game on despite the fukushima disaster well we'll try to answer all of those and while we're on resources we're going to talk industrial metals too plus crime pays but not that well when it comes to robbing a bank low return on investment of courting the researchers it turns out i guess this adds to our gu

the products that you can look af at that are more natural products that are better for the indoor environmentaluality. so i have a quick question. when you said warming the bedroom is it because feet are freezing cold? >> everything, especially feet. >> a little hot water bottle that can you fill up and stick at the bottom of your bed and then your feet aren't freezing cold and it will help warm you up. you aren't using all the energy with your fan and you don't have electricity on your body all night. we'll put that back in the energy category then. >> there seem done recently a plethora of oil-filled heaters. are they any better? >> i think it is still electric resistance heating under a different name. >> don't they add an feafkt danger iaffect ofdanger? >> they are relative safe. that is just a prettier looking and it doesn't -- one of the issues with this is it's either on or it's off. you're getting a lot of heat or you're not. the oil filled electric resistance heaters sort of coast. this gentleman here. >> i'm now facing designing an addition over a garage, second unit. and i'm looking

what we are left with is the product is marketing. look, we have google, we have facebook, we've got e-bay, we've got amazon, none spend money on advertising. they spend all their money on making something people will talk about. if you think about the leaning tower of pisa, they didn't make it lean on purpose, but if you go to pisa, there are tons of tourists there. because if you see the leaning tower, you can talk about it when you go home. where it doesn't matter that just 100 miles away is the parthanon, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. it is subtle and easy to talk about. are you going to build something as interesting as the leaning tower of pisa. are you going to make a product or service that when people are done using it they can't help to tell their friend about. >> and can you communicate that in an easy way. >> not the facts, the story. >> seth godin, really appreciate you coming on to share your thoughts. >> thanks, j.j. >>> when we come back, we'll have more on small business in washington. should the h

independents are in the expiration and production business. that's when we do. we have no refining operations and i don't get into the tax consequences and the senator covered that very well in section 199 of the foreign tax credit and it will affect us a whole lot. certainly, the idcs do and we'll stop this march to energy independence that we've begun. these same tax provisions not only allowed us to survive the terrible times and disastrous years of the '80s and '90s that eliminated 50% of the independents within our ranks and it also allows one of the really important things and it allows us to try and fail and try again and certainly, that's what it took. we built 18 commercial wells up there before breaking the code before producing this oilfield that was over 24 million barrels. before that, we wouldn't have been able to do that, and with barnett and the george mitchell quest down there. george worked 16 years, breaking a code on to barnett. this is the largest natural gas fill in texas and it took 16 years to get the code to get that done so try and try
