Ammeters are a type of electronic measuring instrument that are used to evaluate the flow of electric current in a particular circuit. Essentially, one will measure the flow of current in terms of amperes. Various designs allow the device to be used in measuring the amount and rate of current in both small and large electrical devices.
Sometimes referred to as an ampmeter, the ammeter can be used in a number of different fields. The device is handy for measuring the flow of current through the wiring systems of new buildings, ensuring it is up to acceptable local safety codes. Companies that manufacture electrical equipment of just about any kind will make use of this device in testing the products before offering them for sale. Electricians will often make use of one to spot problems with wiring systems in older buildings. In general, the ammeter can be used in just about any situation where it is possible to tap into a circuit and execute a measurement.
One of the first working ammeters is understood to be the D'Arsonval galvanometer. This form employs the process of magnetic deflection in order to measure the flow of amperes through a given circuit. Constructed with a moving coil design, the device could be attached to a circuit, and as the flow of current into the device takes place, the coil begins to shift within the magnetic field. The degree of shift and movement that the coil undergoes helps to determine the flow of the current.
An ammeter can be configured to measure direct current or alternating current, and there are examples of ones that are capable of measuring both types. In all designs, however, it is important to remember that the device tends to have a relatively low point of resistance. That is, if it is connected to an incompatible source, there is the chance that the device will malfunction, and possible even short circuit. Along with the short circuit, the action could cause permanent damage to the ammeter, as well as present a health hazard for the individual operating the device. For these reasons, it is advised to only allow qualified personnel to operate this tool.

What are the functions of a voltmeter and ammeter?
Post 3
I remember we used to have digital ammeters at school, but I think you can get analog ammeters as well.
Post 2
I think my dad knows how to use these, he used to do a lot of fixing things around the house. I know he always warned me when I was a kid about things like working with house wiring without turning off the electricity and things like that; knowing how to use an ammeter would probably also be on his list of useful skills.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Blake was snapped in NYC wearing one of her cosy fashion cloaks (which you can buy from Preserve here) her matching lippy finished off the classy look – love!
Blake Lively was glowing as she left the Christian Louboutin store in NYC on Friday. The pregnant actress was layered up in florals and stripes and kept a smile on her face as she headed out of the boutique and into a waiting cab. Blake has been out and about in the Big Apple quite a bit since announcing her pregnancy in early October — we've spotted her on multiple prebaby shopping trips as well as on the red carpet.
Blake Lively flaunted her adorable baby bump while posing at her pal Travis Louie's AFA Gallery Opening on Saturday night (October 18) in New York City with her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-star Amber Tamblyn. View Travis Louie AFA Portfolio Here.
"What a wonderful night with @amberrosetamblyn and @travislouie at the opening of his new show in NYC," Blake captioned the Instagram photo. "He is one of my favorite artists and a great father, husband and man! So grateful to know him Ps. Thank you Amber for playing dress up with me #PreserveStyle Who can iSpy the @preserve_us pieces we borrowed?"
Earlier on Saturday co-star Alexis Bledel joined the girls and took an adorable selfie together before heading into a showing of Lips Together, Teeth Apart, to support their former costar America Ferrera.
"Go America!" Tamblyn captioned the Instagram snapshot. "Supporting our girl in her play, Lips Together, Teeth Apart. #sisterhood."
"Look who dropped by my matinee today and made my day!" Ferrera added, reposting the snapshot. "#MySisterhood! Love these women and the support they constantly show."
The old friends caused a frenzy with Sisterhood fans when they reunited for brunch on Sept. 15. "Always a good day when I'm with my sisters #DeLosPantalones Love these amazing women," Ferrera wrote via Instagram at the time. Tamblyn added: "Brunch with my best bitches."
An insider recently told Us that Lively told her Sisterhood gals that she was expecting during the fun get-together, even though she waited until Oct. 6 to tell the rest of the world via her Preserve lifestyle site.
"Finally I can share my little sister's good news!" Tamblyn captioned Lively's first baby bump pic hours after the reveal. "Congratulations my Blakey, you beautiful woman you. What a tremendous mama you are going to be."
Blake was snapped yesterday in NYC when she headed out shopping for baby clothes. She was wearing the most gorgeous Tamiami Trail Trench Cloak by Lindsay Thornburg which can be purchased over at Preserve.us – Its a little out of my budget at $1,350 but I've asked my other half to start saving for a Christmas pressie – lol ! Grab yourself one before they sell out: preserve.us/tamiami-trail-trench-cloak.html
Blake Lively goes casual for the day in a pair of black overalls and loafers in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (June 3). Overalls a making a huge comeback amongst celebs and Blake proves she rock them probably better than anyone else.
We also added some other candids from the past couple of weeks to the gallery …
Blake Lively landed in Nice, France yesterday ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.
The 26-year-old actress was an eye-catching sight in a hot pink trench coat, teamed with black trousers as she stepped out of the Nice airport and later arrived at the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez in Cannes.
A make-up free Blake also donned a wide brimmed black felt hat with a grey ribbon, as she strode along in black patent slippers featuring an elegant design.
Blake looked gorgeous in a vibrant yellow coat as she shot scenes with a female co-star of their new film Age Of Adaline in Los Angeles.
The blonde wore a pretty cream dress that featured frills down the chest. During shooting, Blake wore a chic yellow hat and sported a slick of red lipstick. She and her co-star happily walked along together when the cameras were rolling.
At one point, Blake took a seat and was seen reapplying her make-up with a deft touch. She wore her blonde hair in tight, retro waves and opted for a smokey eye along with her red lip.
Blake appeared to be having a ball as she gave a dazzling smile while filming.

My only problem — mostly due to the hodge-podge layout of Deviant Art — it's tough to tell a reading order, or identify the complete Seeds "collection". Since each artist can only highlight his own art — and DeviantArt isn't set up to easily link or organize multi-artist projects — it's quite a mess to try to jump into and read any collaborative project.
Does the Seeds project (or the larger Transformers fan comic group mentioned above) have a proper home page anywhere hosting this material? One with a clear reading order?
Too bad IDW won't pick this stuff up and print it. It's really amazing.

The Zoot Women's Ultra Tri Short features a revolutionary new fabric technology that actually reflects UV and heat rays so even dark colors do not get hot. This item has also been constructed with the ULTRA Carbon anti-friction panels that reduce static and cause less chafing. The ULTRA Carbon panels also double as a compression hem biowrap, for targeted muscle support and decreased muscle vibrations. The Integra 2D Pad provides all the benefits of Zoot's regular chamois; however, the 2D features an additional layer of protection for increased comfort.
- ColdBlack® Technology reflects UV rays and heat rays, allowing dark colored clothes to be just as cool as light colors-keeping you cool during any sun exposure
- ULTRA Carbon Panels: Anti-friction/Static and Biowrap compression hem reduce muscle vibrations and produce targeted muscle support
- Biowrap support eliminates leg gripper
- Integra SBR 2D Pad: Perfect for medium-long distances
- Hip holster and back pockets
- 6" Inseam
- Reflective inserts
- Sizes: S-XL
- Great fitReview by Sheri Jones
- Length of leg is perfect! Very sexy looking but functional as well. Would give 5 stars but needs a bit more crotch area padding. The crotch isn't super thin like Pearl Izumi or Saucony tri suits, but could use beefing up for longer distance races. Quick drying with no diaper feel off the bike. For those of you that hate binding at the waist this is the short for you! Wide waist band falls comfortably on the lower portion of your tummy. Good thigh compression without binding. Overall good quality product. (Posted on 3/18/13)

The competition in the travel credit card market is set to
intensify with the launch of new credit cards by
Bank of America Corporation
) in collaboration with Miami-based
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
). The two companies renewed their multi-year affinity
partnership with the launch of credit cards, which will offer
benefits to loyalists of the cruise company.
The new credit cards offer exclusive benefits and are aimed to
meet the growing demand from frequent users of the Azamara Club
Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International
The travel related credit cards were designed keeping in mind
consumers' need for flexibility in using points for
travel-related expenses. The recently unveiled cards provide
ample flexibility in point usage and enhanced reward rates.
Card Characteristics
The cards - "MyCruise Rewards" - give cardholders the ability to
redeem points not only with the cruise brand that they choose,
but also across the other two brands in the Royal Caribbean
Additionally, cardholders can earn concessions on cruise-related
packages and redeem points for cruises, stateroom upgrading,
specialty gifts, and onboard credit across Azamara Club Cruises,
Celebrity Cruises, and Royal Caribbean International. Further,
the cards offer double points for purchases on all three cruise
lines and one point for every dollar used on making other
purchases. All these benefits come without an annual fee.
Another novelty is that the credit cards provide a
points-donation opportunity. Cardholders will be able to
contribute the cash value of their points to each of the brands'
non-profit associates. Celebrity Cruises has partnered with The
Breast Cancer Research Foundation, while Royal Caribbean is
associated with Make-A-Wish Foundation.
By issuing credit cards with better reward rates and additional
new features, BofA is geared to further consolidate its foothold
in the market. According to The Nilson Report, at present, BofA
is the third largest credit card issuer by purchase volume in the
United States, trailing
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
) and
American Express Company
Moreover, by offering bonus incentives, the company expects a
significant increase in its deposits to sustain revenues, which
was adversely affected by its plans to charge customers for debit
card usage. This particular step by the company made many of its
customers opt out of using its debit cards. The credit card
incentives can hence, be viewed as the company's strategy to win
back customers.
BofA currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

VIDEO: Marketing tours Coke's Beatbox venue at the Olympic Park
Marketing takes a tour of Coca-Cola's Olympic Pavilion, known as the Beatbox, and speaks to the soft-drink giant's Olympic portfolio director James Eadie about consumers' overall engagement with the experience.
The Coca-Cola Beatbox, designed by Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt, has been created as part of the brand's 'Future Flames' campaign.
The experience begins with a 200 metre tour around the outside of the building, which gives visitors the opportunity to touch and play the musical touch points along the route.
Each touch point releases the sound of a sport, including archery to ping pong, and allows consumers create their own music.
Most of the 300 Coca-Cola representatives guiding consumers through the pavilion have been selected from the six Olympic boroughs in London.
Coca-Cola expects to have around 200,000 visitors to the Beatbox during the course of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Eadie told Marketing that the company has been conducting a number of exit polls, surveys and collecting anecdotal evidence from visitors, to measure consumer engagement with the pavilion.Follow @loullamae_es

Gordon pulls away late for win at Kansas SpeedwayBy DAN GELSTON
The Associated Press | May 11,2014AP Photo
Jeff Gordon crosses the finish line to win Saturdays NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City.KANSAS CITY, Kan. At any age, Jeff Gordon sure knows how to win.
Nearly two decades after he burst onto the scene with his first victory, Gordon keeps taking checkered flags, storming to the lead in the final laps at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night for his first victory of the season and 89th overall in NASCARs top series.
The 42-year-old Gordon held off a hard-charging Kevin Harvick on the final lap to move into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
Gordon won for the first time since October at Martinsville and became the ninth driver to win in the first 11 races this season. He entered the race with the points lead, but exclaimed a weight was lifted off his shoulders as he crossed the finish line for his third Kansas victory.
Im just so proud of (the 24 team). They have been giving me the best race cars all year long, Gordon said. I have been having so much fun. Im going to be 43 this year and I feel like Im 25 again. That is the way they make me feel.
Kasey Kahne was third, followed by Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Danica Patrick was seventh for her best career Cup finish.
Gordon built his points lead on the strength of four top-fives and seven top-10s in the first 10 races including second-place finishes at Texas and Richmond but he knew how much one win would ease pressure on his Hendrick Motorsports team.
He got it under the lights at Kansas.
This is so sweet, he said. What a huge weight lifted off this teams shoulders. We needed to get to Victory Lane.
Gordon is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first career Cup victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the prestigious Coca-Cola 600. He will go for his fourth Coca-Cola 600 victory May 25.
At Daytona this year, Gordon insisted he was serious about considering retirement with a fifth championship. He looks every bit a title contender but said he feels like he could race until 50 if his cars are this stout.
The whole retirement thing I think is thrown out too much, he said. I know Im somewhat to blame for that.
After the start of the race was delayed 35 minutes by rain, the first Sprint Cup night race at Kansas soon left drivers in the dark after the lights went out on the backstretch. NASCAR polled drivers if they wanted to continue and they were good to go, with Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards among the many who said the track was bright enough to race.
Harvick led the final 36 laps in his October win and led the first 41 on Saturday before briefly falling into the middle of the pack. Harvick worked his way to the front in the No. 4 Chevrolet and opened a commanding lead over Gordon and Logano. He led a race-high 119 laps in the 400-mile race small consolation once Gordon grabbed the lead with eight to go.
With two wins already, Harvick has been a force in his first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, but his dominant Chevrolet ran out of gas on his last pit stop and lost time that he couldnt recover.
I should have been paying attention to my pit road lights and should have got off pit road better, he said. I made a mistake at the end and it cost us a chance to stay out in front of the 24.
Patrick had her best run of the season, spending most of the race nestled inside the top 10, and brought a needed jolt of electricity when she passed teammate Tony Stewart and Earnhardt to move into third with 95 laps left.
Patrick hadnt finished better this season than 14th at Fontana and her lone top-10 in the Cup series was an eighth-place finish in the 2013 Daytona 500.
She was shuffled back on a restart, costing her a top five.
Patrick beamed in the garage after the kind of finish shed been striving for since her dazzling performance at Daytona more than a year ago.
Crew chief Tony Gibson told her, Chicks rule, huh?
I know that we havent had the best of times, but we work hard for it, Patrick said. This is the kind of stuff that materializes in wins. Weve just got to keep hanging around and doing what were doing. Im just proud of everyone for working really hard and believing in me.
Sara Christians fifth-place finish in a 1949 race remains the best for a female driver in NASCARs top series.
Jamie McMurray and David Gilliland both had their cars erupt in flames in separate accidents. Gilliland was slow to exit his No. 38 Ford and gingerly walked away from the smoldering wreckage. He was checked out and released from the infield care center.
It was the hardest hit Ive had in a long time, he said.
McMurray had a solid run derailed when he smacked the wall and the back of his No. 1 Chevrolet caught fire.
I heard a small pop, and then just lost all the steering and got into the fence, he said.MORE IN Wire SportsARLINGTON, Texas LeSean McCoy ran for 159 yards a touchdown, Mark Sanchez had his first scoring...

Martinetti returns to sidelines at Rockford Guilford
By Matt Nestor
Prep Sports Reporter
The Rockford Guilford Vikings have hired a new boys' basketball coach, and they are going back to the future with the move.
Dean Martinetti, who took the Vikings to back-to-back regional championships in 2006 and 2007, will be taking over as the basketball coach, replacing Bobby Heisler on the sidelines.
The Vikings have fallen on tough times in recent years, culminating in a 1-15 run through the NIC-10 this past season.
"We're going to try to make progress," Martinetti said. "I'm going to try to lead them to a spot where they can compete, and start with that."
Martinetti has been a part of a lot of successful teams in his time coaching in the area. He started coaching at Rockford Jefferson in 1995, taking them to a regional championship in 2000.
He also helped build a strong program in Byron, as well as being on the sidelines as an assistant the last few seasons at Rockford Lutheran, including in 2012 when they made a run to a third-place finish in the IHSA Class 2A finals.
Martinetti points to his time at Lutheran helping Head Coach Tom Guse as a big factor in to his philosophies now as he returns to the top job in a program.
"Being around coach Guse the last couple of years has helped me understand what it's all about," he said. "You try to do your job, but you try to have some fun while doing it."
For the district, the hiring sticks with the theme from other hires made around the district, pulling in coaching talent that has previous championship experience to lead their programs.
"He's been very successful everywhere he's been," said Mat Parker, director of athletics for Rockford Public Schools. "He's a great teacher of the game and developing the complete student athlete."
Martinetti, who was already a health teacher at Guilford, understands the challenges that await the Guilford program that has fallen on tough times. But he hopes that improving on the fundamentals of the game can help the Vikings bounce back quickly as they rebuild the talent.
"I like to think we can get the guys to play real hard and do the things that don't necessarily take talent," Martinetti said. "We talk a lot about just being the best you can be."

This week's Keystone XL Senate vote has grabbed almost all the media attention, and for good reason: it's fundamentally unfair to make any business wait six years for a permit. (Seriously – you could have seen "You Can't Mess With the Zohan" in the theater the same day TransCanada filed its permit application. That's just not right.) (continue reading…)
Beyond Keystone, troubling signals from the White House on infrastructure permits
Manufacturers Welcome Congress Back; Say Now Is Time To Govern
As Members of the 114th Congress descend on Washington for orientation, and the 113th Congress convenes for the upcoming lame duck session, manufacturers stand ready to work with our leaders to advance policies that will enable us to continue to grow and create jobs. Manufacturers believe that now is the time to set aside the differences that have resulted in gridlock, and focus on the pro-growth policies that brought voters to the polls. Simply put, it is time to govern and grow. (continue reading…)
New study shows EPA greenhouse gas regulation would raise electricity prices, impose massive new costs on manufacturers
This week, NERA Economic Consulting released an economic study on the impact of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed new greenhouse gas regulation for existing power plants. The study was supported by groups from most sectors of the U.S. economy, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, National Mining Association, Association of American Railroads, Electric Reliability Coordinating Council and Consumer Energy Alliance.
NERA's report confirms many of our fears about this new regulation: 43 states will experience double-digit increases in the price of electricity, and overall compliance costs exceed $360 billion. Some states could see price increases that exceed 20 percent. In addition, NERA found that all consumers will have to make major new upfront investments in order to reduce overall electricity demand from their power plants. For manufacturers, that is money that could often be better spent on product development.
Manufacturers are committed to addressing global climate change and have taken strong steps to reduce our emissions, promote energy efficiency and new technologies, and become more sustainable. Those steps are working. But we must also remember that many manufacturers are trade exposed and can rarely stomach major new costs (like higher energy prices) that make us less competitive against our international competitors who don't play by the same environmental rules. Manufacturers urge EPA to revise its greenhouse gas rule for existing power plants to avoid the higher energy prices and other consequences predicted in NERA's report.
Recent approvals signal "new normal" for LNG exports
Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) quietly issued a final environmental impact statement for Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Texas. It required Cheniere to agree to 104 special conditions to ensure that the environment is protected, and it allowed the project to move forward. Ten days prior, FERC issued a similar approval for Dominion's Cove Point LNG export facility in Maryland. Like the Cheniere approval, FERC required Dominion to adhere to 79 special conditions to protect the environment. It will do that, and the project is moving forward.
No drama. No congressional hearings or presidential proclamations. It was all so…normal.
Kind of nice, isn't it?
A couple things happened to get us to this point. The meritless arguments from "not in my back yard" opponents and law firms masquerading as environmental groups didn't hold water with FERC. The protests petered out. (Which, for what it's worth is what happens when you protest FERC on a Sunday, when it is closed.) The Department of Energy finally figured how to get itself out of the way and stop causing unnecessary delays. Freed from these regulatory constraints, the environmental permitting process was allowed to work properly. And so it did.
So with an election just a few weeks away, and with it the hope that the 114th Congress can actually work together on energy policy, it's reassuring to see that on LNG exports at least we have reached a "new normal" whereby companies wanting to take on these projects actually get a yes or no answer in a reasonable amount of time. However, it's worth reminding everyone that Keystone XL has been waiting on a final permit decision for six years, coal exports in the Pacific Northwest are fighting uphill to just get their permits heard, and countless other projects are caught in permit limbo. Getting infrastructure projects moving and getting shovels in the ground is a bipartisan priority. Let's use this "new normal" on LNG as a stepping stone to even better things.
The Manufacturing & Mining Link
Today, there is no question that manufacturing in the United States is making a comeback.
But one overlooked—and at risk—driver of this resurgence is the availability and stability of domestic mineral resources. Mined mineral resources are raw materials that support nearly every sector within the manufacturing industry, from the automotive to construction to defense and high-technology. Each sector is intrinsically dependent on minerals and by extension, the mining sector.
In a newly released study by the National Mining Association, U.S. Mines to Market, SNL Metals & Mining (SNL) looks at U.S. mined commodities' domestic supply chains and the contribution of U.S. minerals to the manufacturing sector, identifying the risks faced by high-tech, energy, medical, national defense and automotive industries. Most notably, the study points out that mismatch exists between the domestic mineral supply and demand because of an inefficient permitting system that can delay the development of new mines by a decade or more.
The nature of manufacturing is that we rely on raw materials to create products. Often times the raw materials we need are not produced in this country and these sources can become unreliable. The inability to have access to a reliable source of raw materials is an impediment and a threat to continued and sustained U.S. economic growth. For instance, many manufacturers report being concerned with a dire need for infrastructure investment and spending in the U.S. and believe that an unstable supply chain of raw materials is "impairing reliability and increasing the cost of goods movement."
As the U.S. manufacturing sector continues to grow, the importance of a secure and reliable domestic raw material supply has never been clearer – and with it, the need for a more efficient permitting process for new mineral mines that supports the country's manufacturing industries. If we allow U.S. mining to perform to its full potential, our nation can enjoy enormous growth and job-creation opportunities, support the domestic manufacturing revival and attract global investment dollars.

Eastman Chemical, Merck, Janssen R&D LLC win EPA Energy Star CHP Award
NAM board members Eastman Chemical Company and Merck & Co., along with Pennsylvania manufacturer Janssen R&D LLC, won the Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Award for their highly efficient CHP systems, which greatly exceed the operating efficiency of similar conventional systems. CHP provides both electric power and thermal energy (heat) from a single fuel source, as opposed to conventional systems that expel the steam as waste heat. A CHP system captures the energy that would normally be waste heat and uses it to provide heating and cooling.
The NAM supports policies that encourage CHP systems, which promote energy efficiency while also reducing emissions. CHP and similar technologies have allowed manufacturers to reduce our environmental footprint while increasing our productivity. Congratulations to Eastman, Merck and Janssen on today's award.
Cove Point LNG terminal takes giant step forward
Yesterday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) formally approved the siting and construction of Dominion's Cove Point liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Maryland, a major milestone that puts the project in position to start construction. Cove Point is an existing LNG import facility that has been in operation for nearly 40 years; Dominion is now seeking to use the facility for LNG exports, a project that will cost $3.4 to $3.8 billion and create thousands of jobs. In May, FERC completed a two-year environmental assessment and concluded that the project could be built safely with no significant environmental impact. Yesterday's FERC order includes 79 special conditions to ensure that the environmental impact will be mitigated.
The clock is now ticking on the Department of Energy (DOE) to issue a final license to export to non-FTA countries; the agency issued a conditional license in September 2013. DOE issued a final license to Sempra's Cameron LNG terminal on September 10, 83 days after FERC had issued that project's combined operating license.
Manufacturers are pleased to see the permitting process for Cove Point moving closer to its conclusion, and urge DOE to move quickly on a decision for a final license.
Happy Anniversary Keystone: Marking Six years of Missed Opportunity
Today we mark the sixth anniversary of TransCanada's first application seeking a Presidential permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the United States. For most of the past six years this project has been with the administration awaiting final approval, with five different environmental reviews conducted and thousands of pages of reports and public comments collected.
Much has happened since the initial permit application was filed in 2008: more than 10,000 miles of oil and natural gas pipeline has been built in the U.S.; Fidel Castro stepped down as President of Cuba; two new countries were created Kosovo and South Sudan; four Olympic games have been held (Vancouver, Beijing, London and Sochi); and Apple released the IPhone 3, 4, 5 and now 6.
For further context on how this delay stacks up in the history books, just look at the array of larger and more complex projects built in a shorter time frame. For example, the 800 mile long Trans Alaska pipeline took just over two years to build. The iconic Hoover Dam was erected in just five years, the Empire State Building in just over one year, and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in less than five years.
The debate over Keystone is not just about ensuring we have a steady source of energy from a reliable trading partner; it's also about jobs and the economy. The State Department says the project will create 42,000 jobs and add $3.4 billion to the GDP, jobs and economic growth that manufacturers and other workers desperately need.
Although there's not much to celebrate, the NAM is marking this occasion with the release of a new video highlighting the facts about Keystone:
Ozone Education Campaign Continues With State Ad Campaign
By now, you may be familiar with the NAM's efforts to bring attention to the severe economic impact that the EPA's pending revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone would have not only on manufacturers, but on the overall economic health of our country as well. As part of this effort, this week we launched radio and digital ads in a trio of critical states – Colorado, Kentucky, and North Carolina – to shed additional light on the economic impact these regulations could have and to ensure that policymakers are paying attention.
Our recent analysis of the pending revisions found that the U.S. stands to lose trillions of dollars and potentially millions of jobs at the hands of the new standard, making it potentially the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the American public. NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons put a finer point on the matter last week in the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal, writing that "no single regulation has come close to rendering this level of self-inflicted and ultimately unnecessary economic pain."
The national numbers are massive. And in the states, the economic toll is no less staggering – a point that our new advertising campaign hopes to illuminate. In Colorado, for instance, businesses could face $11 billion in compliance costs. North Carolina could see its economic output drop by $150 billion and could shed 150,000 job equivalents every year. And the study projects that Kentuckians could say goodbye to $32 billion in economic activity and more than 30,000 job equivalents.
The outlook is no better in other states, where pending revisions to the ozone standard threaten to similarly sap economic activity and drive away jobs.
Manufacturers are ready to keep providing the economic fuel that has helped to put our economy back on track. But we need a sound regulatory landscape in order to do that. This week's ads underscore this fact. And the NAM will work throughout the coming months to make sure that policymakers understand what the EPA's aggressive new ozone standards could mean for the American economy.

Oregon Deals Blow to Exports by Denying Permit for Morrow Export Terminal Expansion
Yesterday, the Oregon Department of State Lands slapped a "closed for business" sign on future export projects along its coast. In what sadly comes as no surprise given Gov. Kitzhaber's vocal opposition to the project, today the state agency responsible for issuing a state dock "fill" permit denied that permit for Ambre Energy's Coyote Island coal export Terminal at the Port of Morrow.
For manufacturers, this is a disturbing precedent. Our goods are exported, and a great deal of them travel through ports in Oregon. Today, one state's vendetta against coal may have inadvertently erected new barriers to the export of all manufactured products through the state. Moreover, it might be subjecting the nation to trade liability under WTO agreements, as set forth by a NAM report last December.
Manufacturers are obviously disappointed, and urge Oregon to work through whatever issues it needs to work through so that the Port of Morrow may be constructed.

Sandino Rebellion Research Continues Thanks to Arnold Grant
For 20 years, Dr. Michael Schroeder, assistant professor of history at Lebanon Valley College, has been researching the 1927-1934 Nicaraguan uprising called the Sandino Rebellion, in which revolutionary Augusto Nicolás Calderón Sandino led an uprising against the U.S. military protectorate stationed in that country. Schroeder's project will eventually compile more than 25,000 documents relating to the rebellion in fully searchable form at
This massive undertaking would not be possible alone, with Schroeder's busy teaching and volunteering schedule, so he has worked with many Valley students over the years. This year, he applied for an inaugural Arnold Experiential Grant for Student-Faculty Research, and was named a recipient. With the funds he has employed the help of Melissa Zellner '13, an archiving-enthusiast.
"Since last fall, I have been busy working through primary and secondary documents from 15 boxes of materials obtained from a dissertation research project in Nicaragua," she said. "I sort the documents by type and in alphabetical and chronological order."
Until this summer, Zellner was merely a volunteer assistant.
"The opportunity to work on this project can be seized upon by smart, capable, ambitious students," Schroeder said, "to enhance education and gain hands-on experience. Instead of just learning about archiving through a class lecture, you are able to look at documents through the lens of an archivist, and get into really experiencing the documents. It changes you."
A recently discovered document from a newspaper article has shed light on a new angle of the rebellion. The evidence is suggesting that the people on Nicaragua's East Coast did not actually agree with Sandino and that his uprising was more tenuous and limited than historians originally believed.
Zellner and Schroeder are excited by this discovery. "These people are still struggling for autonomy, both politically and culturally," Schroeder said. "This is a historical document that has shaped current contemporary concerns."
This summer, Zellner has been working on collaboratively writing and editing an article emphasizing Sandino's limited buy-in on the East Coast. They plan to submit the article to
The Americas
(TAm), a principal English-language journal of Latin American history.
The Arnold Grant has enabled Zellner to focus on the archival work this summer, rather than try to hold down a job in addition to her two internships (she is also interning at the Pennsylvania State Archives).
"I will be studying abroad in the fall, so the Arnold Grant has allowed me to accept the internships, live on campus, and focus on my studies," she said.
"The Arnold Grant has been a blessing," Schroeder said. "It is helpful for the students because they can do things they wouldn't otherwise get to do."
