. >>> japanese chemical firms are plugging into the market for batteries, making parts for lithium ion batteries in appliances and vehicles. the corporation and company will jointly start manufacture later this year in western japan of components from coconut shells. the plant based materials, reportedly last longer than the more common graphite. mitsubishi plastics developed omponents, with a high heat models. and planning to double its production capacity by next year for high tech material called carbon nanotube. when mixed in to electrodes, it can extend a battery's performance t japanese university graduates are having a hard time trying to land a good job. a government survey shows that more than one out of five fresh graduates didn't find full time work. the education ministry survey shows that 357,000 out of a total of some 559,000 graduates found jobs this spring. the rate of employment was 63.9%, up 2.3 percentage points from last year. but the data also showed that some 22,000 students who have found jobs are nonregular employees. also about 19,600 are part-time workers and

improving the safety of lithium battery shipments by air.hening voluntary aviation safety data protections, studying the feasibility of installing flight back doors or alternatives on all cargo aircraft. supporting critical aviation safety research. at the air line pilots association we find when we work together, we achieve outstanding results. at alpa we are uniquely positioned to bring our industry stakeholders to gather to keep focus on issues critically important to the aviation safety mission. using the air safety form as a model, we have held a series of highly successful conferences each devoted to one specific issue. last october, alpa and airlines for america co-sponsored a conference on the growing problem of laser illumination of aircraft cockpits. in january we kick off the new year by organizing the and hosting a symposium on aviation safety action programs. the current challenges, the trends in these vitally important safety reporting programs. in march of a seized the opportunity to galvanize industry efforts to combat pilot

the greek physician had tried to treat patients with mania, with waivers, wafers that had lithium and found they were responsive to it, and this drug came along and experimented with rodents and found when he injected this into rodents they became more lethargic and wondered whether manic patients wouldn't be better if they were a little more lethargic and slowed down a little bit and introduced lithium in the 1970's and it turned out to be a very useful treatment for depression. in addition, throughout all of this period, people who are receiving psychotherapy to see whether or not it could be helpful in depression, and really several major advances have occurred in psychotherapy we will hear about today. first of all, we now have evidence that psychotherapy is a biological treatment in part through helen's work, we know that you can detect an abnormality in brain imaging and if and only if there is a response is to psychotherapy there is improvement of that and what you see with certain serotonin uptake inhibit tors. number 2, number 2 we learned how to combine pharmacological treat

this company makes parts for the volt's lithium battery. shares fell 7.7% on heavy volume.his is a 52-week low for polypore. yesterday, tiffany cut its financial forecast. today, up-scale watchmaker movado raised its outlook. it credits growing profit margins and strong demand for its own brand, as well as others it licenses, like hugo boss and tommy hilfiger. second quarter earnings were much stronger than expected, 30 cents per share compared to the estimate of 18 cents, and almost double from a year ago. movado has used a combination of new marketing and new products to fuel its gains. and it has translated into a strong stock rally, up 17.4% today to an all-time high. another fashionable stock today- - p-v-h, the old phillips van heusen. this also hit a new high, up 4.8%. this firm licenses clothing brands like tommy hilfiger and izod. earnings were better than anticipated, and it also raised its financial outlook. it even expects its european business to grow. margins are improving as raw material costs have dropped. you've got your watch and clothes, now for your shoe

we implement to a pin's veracity of regulation regarding the carriage of lithium batteries. another key aspect is this faith integration of unmanned aircraft systems which they now call remote piloted aircraft international airspace. our key message here in the airspace, where we fly must meet the same safety standards that we currently do. it doesn't matter whether pilot is on a conventional flight deck were sitting in a control station on the ground, high safety standards must be established and they have to apply to everyone in the airspace. step three is the number of the rulemaking committee on ua gas and on the rt ca special committee developing standards and will continue to participate in those groups to advance this goal. as part of our continuing advocacy of a risk based approach to airline and airport security, alpa will continue to press for action to increase funding for the successful federal flight deck officer program. this is a highly cost-efficient program in which airline pilots are fully trained to protect their flight deck since federal law enforcement o

he said it was not bush, yet he is angry about afghanistan and lithium. yet the whole reason we are in this ridiculous the bottle between -- now that we are out of iraq, thank you, our current president. we were there because of george bush's overreaction to 9/11. host: that go back to the question we are asking this morning. are you better off today than you were 10 years ago? caller: i am not better off. i am not earning as much money as i did 10 years ago. the answer to that question is no, i am not as well-off now as i was 10 years ago. but, you know, the cost of my health care is killing me, and i cannot wait for obamacare. i liked that name for it, even though it was meant to be derogatory. when it kicks in and i am able to take more full advantage of it, i will be very happy. but does want to end by saying that for people -- i just want to end by saying that for people in my income category and above to become cheerleaders for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires on both democrats and republicans, to be cheerleaders for tax breaks for wealt

north america will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil, our gas, our coal, our lithiumes. second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. when it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice and every child should have a chance. third, we'll make trade work for america by forging new trade agreements and when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences. and fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in america will not vanish as have those in greece, we will cut the deficit and put america on track to a balanced budget. [ applause ] and fifth, we will champion small businesses, america's engine of job growth and that means reducing taxes on businesses, not raising them. and it means modifying the regulations that hurtle small businesses the most. and we must rein in the skyrocketing costs of health care by replacing obama care. today women are more likely than men to start a business, and they need a president who r

a rare earth material maker, lithium-ion batteries and stuff like that. they began producing again at one of their facilities in california. a big winner today, back to you. david: lauren simonetti, thank you very much. presidential candidate mitt romney laying out his energy plan over the next couple of days. the plan itself includes more state control of federal land, less restricted federal regulations, complete of course with a keystone pipeline, and a goal to be energy independent by 2020. here is how romney himself described it. >> it create 3 million new jobs, $500 billion to the economy, it is great for our national security depending on opec or venezuela for our oil. david: joining us now for fox business exclusive, somebody who supports this plan, brent harvey. great to see you, thank you for coming in. let's talk about the biggest of all these, energy independence by 2020. he says for the americans, i assume canada and mexico helping the united states, so all three countries operating as a unit, is that possible, energy independence for the ame

but the lithium carbonate keeps you like this. >> our goal is to get people with mental illness out intoulation, to have jobs, to go to school and to do everything that everybody else does here. so they're all throughout the facility. >> most of these guys are going to be returning to the streets. not everyone is sent to prison with a life sentence. and with that in mind, i think i would feel safer and feel better about these people going back to the streets with the kind of skills that we can provide them, instead of just opening the doors when their sentence is done and hoping the best. >> there are successful graduates of the rtu program. terry mahler has 35 years left on his sentence for his sex offense crime. he was not able to function in general population. >> i've been diagnosed with clinical depression and extreme stressful situations. i hear voices, noise-induced paranoia. anxiety attacks. sometimes when you get into a big crowd, you know, your mental illness seems to just explode. and it got to the point where i didn't want to live anymore. i just wanted to kill myself, you kn

for instance, we talked about the battery industry in the lithium ion industry which is no really locatedbroad in asia. and i think to some extent that is true with the semiconductor industry costly the lcd letting industry. so there is a danger the u.s. is manufacturing and you lose that ability to manufacture things. you have to be concerned that use other aspects of your innovation economy. >> i want to ask john to of a let's also get to some of your questions. if you have not written down your question, lots of times you do that. just the data pass them out to people who will collect them. let's get to some of your questions and that now will return to some of my. how many nobel prize winners do you see coming out of twitter, facebook, and you will. [laughter] >> do i have to answer that? there are certainly great people. i wonder, you know, i'd work in a magazine company that covers a lot of that industry. it to you know, i use those products and they're very cool. i don't certainly think every company or even any company that could talk about basic research should invest in that. i

i think, for instance, we may have been talking about the battery industry, the lithium ion industryhich is now relocated abroad in asia. i think to some extent that is true with the semiconductor industry, certainly the lcd letting industry. yes, there is that danger that you lose manufacturing and you lose that ability to manufacture things. have to be concerned the use other aspects. >> i want to ask john, let's also get to some of your questions. if you have not written down there questions yet, there is lots of time to do that. let's get to some of your questions and then i will return to some of my. how many nobel prize winners to use the coming out of twitter, facebook, and google? [applause] [laughter] [applause] >> do i have to answer that? nine. there certainly people. i wonder, you know, i worked in a magazine. the company that covers a lot of that industry. i use those products and they're very cool. i don't certainly think every company or even any company we could talk about basic research should invest in that. i don't think facebook should serve hiring dear medical ph

they don't have monkeys jumping up and down on lithium. it's just johnny. he's so comfortable.loited that part of his personality to perfection. and i think that was the appeal of the man. night in and night out, it was always going to be johnny. johnny, you could tell if he would raise an eyebrow. johnny is upset. johnny is happy. it was never much more than that. he was very, very good at that. i can't imagine another single personality attaining that status. >> is that why you so badly wanted to assume that? >> it was a pretty good job. it was a pretty good job. when i was a kid, i just -- i remember watching the tonight show and thinking to myself, hell, i could do that. no. it's interesting that i would have that impression because i think that's a testament to how easily he made it look. where a goofball kid like me would think that i could do that. for me, it's not as easy as it was for johnny. but you know, i did want it. it was a great job. at the time, there were not many other jobs open. there were no other jobs open. when i left my 12:30 show, there was mo where els

his work has included projects to improve the safe transport of lithium batteries, training for flight and cabin crews in responding to onboard battery fires, and improvements in how pilots are notified about batteries aboard the aircraft. as the chairman of alpa, dangerous goods committee, first officer rogers is a devoting member of icao's dangerous goods panel. most recently, he was instrumental in icao's adoption of technical instructions outlining important safety precautions for the transportation of lithium batteries in the air. first officer rogers represents airline pilots interest at the united nations, and before a range of industry and government bodies, including the faa, hamza, and the u.s. congress. he is a renowned voice for safety, both domestically and internationally. on behalf of of the associations 53,000 members, i'm proud to present a united airlines first officer mark rogers with alpa's 2011 presidential citation. [applause] >> now, i would like to ask captain john taylor to step forward, just ever so slightly, sir. captain john taylor currently serves as the ex

it makes lithium-ion batteries used in the volt. that's why they're down with sympathy. issue with the volt not because they're not selling them. they are. selling more than three times what they sold last year for the volt. dealers have too many on hand right now. that is the issue. they have to have the temporary production halt. they're also getting ready for the chevy impala. so they're preparing plants for that as well with. back to you. tracy: good stuff, lauren. see you in 15 minutes. ashley: very quickly, some break news. the white house saying option by the way of tapping into the strategic oil reserve still on the table. doesn't say it is going to happen but still one of options being considered if we start to see oil prices spike. as we continue to track isaac as tracy mentioned earlier we've seen oil prices move slightly higher today but 70 odd cents. nothing to write home about. we'll keep an eye on that. the white house saying, tapping into, releasing some of those strategic oil reserves certainly on the table as a possibility. want to get that in. tracy: g

it also, if you will look, you can see lithium pointed out as well. that is less than 50 parts per million. there is a lot of detail we can get from this instrument. we are excited about that. one more thing about -- the inset in the center shows the peaks of hydrogen and carbon. the carbon peak is from the atmosphere. there is nothing big there. the peak on the left shows hydrogen. this is a sequence plot that shows every single laser shot as a separate spectrum. we did 30 shots. the first shot is shown in the white. that curve shows that we have a hydrogen in the first shot, then it went down, we barely see it in the second, and it went away. on the very surface of this rock we had hydrogen. another thing we saw on the surface was an enhancement of magnesium. we saw this on coronation. we saw this on all the samples we have looked so far, including the calibration target. it may be indicative of something from the dust. we have to look into this more. after this rock, we kind of told the science team that they were free to start choosing some target

the chinese will not sell as lithium.he only thing -- the only way we will get it is to go back to afghanistan and a stay there forever. host: a message on twitter. here is the front page of the milwaukee journal today. thousands cheer romney, ryan. we have the next caller. caller: i want to balance the next caller. -- the previous caller. i brush -- i trust the obama campaign because they saved the auto industry. they brought us back from the brink of disaster. it is obvious that romney and a wry and what to dismantle our government and not improve our government. from virginiaar on the line for democrats. are you there? who do you trust more on the economy? caller: i trusted the president and i plan to vote for him and support his continuing administration in terms of how he is handling the economy. i think it is very obvious what he inherited. it has been going on since the 1980's. i remember very well when the independents were -- when the dependence was placed on the wealthy to create the jobs. if they are the job cr

this is for the lithium batteries. >> for vehicles. >> for electric cars. the obama administration has been trying to put us ahead in that industry, and it would be nice if it is going to be a car of the future, it would be nice to, you know, be in on the ground floor with the technology. >> right. i sent you something yesterday that a viewer sent in. i'm having trouble -- >> you sent me something. >> i did. i don't think you looked at it. it had a list on the left of a lot of bain companies, staples, a lot of successful companies. romney companies. it was called romney's capitalism versus obama's socialism. >> solyndra. >> and five or six others. it showed which ones succeeded because that's a -- you know, you don't -- i don't see that. why i don't see those ads from the romney camp i don't know. >> you may have just given him an idea. >> do they need that? do they need ideas? i hope they don't. >> everyone needs ideas. >> yeah, you're right. let's check on -- i'm trying to get it up. i'm having computer problems. maybe this is an hp -- is that not a depre

lithium is a mood stabilizing drug, a drug you may have heard of, and often used for this condition. are asking is there any chance that that procedureould have triggered his bipolar disorder? >> when people are sick, when they undergo operations, there is some evidence that that can trigger someone who already has underlying bipolar disease, it can trigger an attack or event. but also there's something known as the gut-brain connection, wolf. not a well known thing, but the intestines, the gut is one of the other few places in the body that has serotonin receptors. we think of them in the brain, if you can actually flood those receptors, you can treat the depressi depression. there could be relation to intestinal surgery and the depression. and looking at these images here, there is an experimental treatment, just did a story on this, stimulating the brain, deep brain stimulation, what you're seeing there to try to treat depression that simply is otherwise untreatable, people that get no response from medications or counseling or anything else. this is part of what the future might

a solar type, you know, i thought you had the wind cover with don xuixote and solar, you saw the lithiumovernment gave that company all the money to develop it, bankrupt basically so china comes in and puts the money in and china has all the stuff that the u.s. government sort of paid to develop. >> the reality is there's a short term every day that has to be dealt with and see a long-term we should be planning for but you can't substitute the long-term planning for the daily requirement of what the economy needs to fuel itself. and i've said before, there is an invisible tax on the american consumer coming from the absence of public policy and the american consumer really has to get concerned about this, because when you go up 35 cents a gallon in a week in chicago, or now california could well go up a quarter, 30 cents, who knows because of the refinery fire, this is putting everyday people at the mercy of insensitive elected officials. >> but john, the hydrocarbon industry has found a way to do, to have basically a boom at least over the last three or four years in spite of the obama

continue to press the department of transportation for an faa regulation regarding the carriage of lithium batteries. another key aspect of one level of safety is the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems or as they are now being called, remotely piloted aircraft into the national airspace. our key message here is all aircraft and aerospace where we fly must meet the same safety standards the we currently do. period. it doesn't matter whether a pilot is on a conventional flight deck or sitting in a control station on the ground. hi ct standards must be established, and they have to apply to everyone in the aerospace. alpa as a member of the aviation rulemaking committee uas and the special committee developing standards and we will continue to participate in those groups to advance the goal. as part of our continued advocacy of the risk-based approach to the airline and airport security alpa will continue to push for action for increased funding on the successful federal flight deck officer program to read this is a highly cost-efficient pergamon which airline pilots are fully trai

also, if you'll look, you'll see lithium pointed out as well, that's probably less than 50 parts perllion. so there's a lot of detail we can get from this instrument so we're really excited about that. just one more thing about that, the inset near the center shows the peaks of hydrogen and carbon. the carbon peak on the right of this inset is from the atmosphere so there's nothing real big there. in terms of findings, the peak on the left showing hydrogen, this is actually a sequence plot which shows every single laser shot as a separate spectrum. and we did 30 shots here and so the first shot is shown in the white and that curve shows that we actually had hydrogen on the first shot but then it went down, we could barely see it on the second shot and then it went away. it shows us on the very surface of this rock we had hydrogen. another thing we saw on the surface was an enhancement of magnesium. so we saw this on coronation also on the examples we looked at so far including the calibration on the rover. this could be indicative of something on the dust. we need to look into this a
