Arms Trade Treaty: Statement by Ambassador Ranau
(Statement delivered by Ambassador Jörg Ranau, Head of the German Delegation, at the Plenary Session of the Final United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, near verbatim)
"Mr. President,
We have entered the second week of negotiations under your able leadership and guidance. We are confident that you and your facilitators will continue your tireless efforts to lead us towards a strong and robust Arms Trade Treaty. We continue to have full confidence in you and your facilitators.
On this path, the paper that you presented last Friday is a commendable effort, that marks some important improvements compared with the July 2012 text such as the elimination of some legal unclarities, the introduction of a separate article on diversion, improved structure for Scope, the inclusion of a knowledge-based standard in Prohibitions, and improved provisions on the Conference of State Parties. We are convinced that this is moving the process in the right direction, albeit not to the extent that we consider necessary.
We believe that some critical amendments still need to be included.
I am fully aligning myself with the comments made by the EU and would like to underline our strong commitment to the forthcoming statement made by Mexico on behalf of a large group of countries. I would like to focus on some of those elements that my delegation believes would make an ATT strong and robust.
Firstly, we welcome the fact that efforts are well under way to avoid creating a loophole in Article 5 paragraph 2. An ATT must not give a carte blanche to deliveries under defence cooperation agreements but rather give a clear priority to sound and systematic export controls.
Secondly, last Monday, I underlined, that an ATT "will only deliver added value if it requires countries to examine the potential consequences of arms transfers on the basis of a set of clear and ambitious criteria laying down the highest possible common standards." Therefore Articles 6 and 7 are at the heart of this treaty and we need and will continue to work on strengthening them.
It is our understanding that Article 7 paragraphs 7 and 10 are carrying the notion of an assessment against a benchmark of criteria. This should be more clearly reflected by replacing the undefined term "overriding" with "clear" or "substantial".
Thirdly, regarding Article 7, paragraph 3; we still miss language that would entail an obligation to draw a consequence from the assessment with regard to peace and security. That paragraph should create an obligation to deny a license if a State Party finds in its assessment that arms export would undermine peace, security and stability.
Fourthly, the same lack of operational clarity is still hampering the effective application of the criteria in Article 7 paragraph 8. States Parties in their assessment must take into account the elements (a) to (e) in the first place, and then they should not only consider taking mitigating measures, but also consider simply not to authorize the transfer if the risk seems too high. We welcome that you have mandated a facilitators group to work on this critical issues.
Fifthly, on Article 3 we stand for language that speaks of essential parts and components and leaves out the newly introduced language. Moreover, concerning Article 3 and 4, we believe the draft treaty fails to address the inherent risk of diversion and other risks associated with transfers of ammunition as well as of parts and components. The current language is falling short of our ambition. We still believe that this needs to be corrected in the draft treaty by amending Articles 3 and 4 to foresee an assessment including against the criteria set out in Article 7 paragraph 8. By the same token, Art. 14 needs to address those items as well and not only the arms enumerated under Art. 2 (1).
Finally, we join others, especially Switzerland, Norway and other States in calling for a further amendment to Article 6 paragraph 3. We do believe that States Parties should respect all their obligations under International Humanitarian Law, not just treaty law, but also customary international law. Moreover, we strongly support those that are demanding a clear reference to the respect of human rights in this article. The reason for this is obvious: while certain gross and systematic human rights violations may fall below the threshold for either genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes, such violations should not be exempt from the ATT's scope of prohibitions.
Mr. President,
In the spirit of brevity, I will stop here. Please rest assured that my delegation is fully supporting your approach and will be walking the remaining miles with you in order to find agreement on a strong and robust Arms Trade Treaty. Further comments are included in the written copy of my statement which will be distributed.
Thank you Mr. President."
Follow further comments of the written copy of the statement:
"With regard to ammunition/munitions and parts and components, we still believe that additional clarifications need to be included in the draft treaty. We note that Article 3 as it currently stands is still rather unclear. We would read it as excluding e.g. spare parts. But we need to include all essential parts and components.
A similar issue arises with regard to ammunition/munitions. As the Article currently stands, e.g. hand grenades and most landmines would be excluded from the scope.
Mr. President,
We are negotiating an Arms Trade Treaty which we hope will serve us well in the decades ahead. Innovation in arms development will continue. An ATT has to follow such developments and we believe that amendments to the treaty and/or the inclusion of new categories of conventional arms will eventually become necessary.
An ATT will only be fully operative if there is a true transparency reporting provision. Therefore, reports about aggregated export licenses granted need to be made available to the public. The current Art. 12 sufficiently takes care of possible concerns regarding national security or commercial secrets.
Finally, my delegation welcomes the new Article on diversion but we still believe that more work needs to be done to find language to effectively prevent diversion at all stages of the life cycle of conventional arms and of ammunition/munitions and parts and components. This also includes a provision on re-exports.
Mr. President,
As I said some days ago, the challenge remains, to agree upon a universally valid and binding document that strikes a balance between the general principles of free trade, countries' multifaceted security needs as well as the need for responsibility in the international arms trade. We are on good track but not there yet."

If anything is absolute in the automotive business it's that all good things come to an end and find themselves replaced by other models and ideas.
Such is the case with the revered Model A. The Ford Model A had first rolled off the line in 1928 as an upgraded replacement of the Model T that was almost two decades old when it was discontinued. The Model A included four color options as opposed to just black offered by the Model T, as well as a new chassis and engine. It was an immediate hit and sold two million cars after just two years of production, largely because of its affordability. Models ranged from $500 to $1,200. But it was a short-lived success. Production ended in 1932 with 4.8 million cars on the roads.
After just four years of production, Ford needed to redesign the model because of the rapidly changing needs of car customers. Enter the 1932 Ford Sedan Delivery model, the first economical V-8 on American roads. Because of their reliability and their use as delivery trucks, few of them survive, although kit versions are easily available. The 1932 Sedan Delivery is also popular with car customizers because of its durability and signature design. The car in the LeMay collection, for example, was restored and customized by Dan's Rod and Custom in Hancock, Michigan. The shop is well known for its award-winning Deuce Delivery conversions. The mechanical and finishing work was completed by the car's former owner John Stimac, owner of Hot Rod Shop of Milwaukee.
The car is powered by a 1953 Mercury 286 engine with all-new Ross pistons and dual-exhaust system. The transmission is a 1939 Ford three-speed, manual that was completely rebuilt with NOS bearings that won it a feature in Rod and Custom Magazine in 2009 and the 2011 Goodguys Pacific NW Best Commercial entry award. The car was donated to America's Car Museum by Gerald Greenfield of Lake Tapps.

Local Girl Scouts Learn How to Create Video Games (New York 1)
More than two dozen teenage Girl Scouts are taking part in a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM, program at the New York Hall of Science this week, where they're learning how to make programming codes and use special software to create 3-D video games as part of the Girl Scout Leadership Institute.
Cable news channel NY1 recently ran a story about this new initiative. To view the clip, click HERE. (A Time Warner Cable account is required, so if you're unable to view it, please scroll down for a transcript.)
Erin Keplish: "My avatar has blue spiky hair that is probably a foot tall."
NY1: Erin Keplish says nothing is too outrageous in the virtual video gaming world she's creating.
Erin Keplish: "Well, right now, I just built a volcano thing that it's going to live in, and it also has a house, and I'm making a pool."
NY1: She's one of two dozen teenage Girl Scouts taking part in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, or STEM program, at the New York Hall of Science. The girls are learning how to make programming codes, and use special software to create 3-D video games.
Calista Lee: "I just feel like it's a great opportunity to not just pursue my passions, but to meet fellow peers and sisters that have the same passion as I do."
Tatiana Bracht: "I hope to build a nice little abstract house because I want to prove to myself that I can be in that little field of computer technology."
NY1: The workshop is part of the Girl Scout Leadership Institute, which aims to give Girl Scouts real-world entrepreneurial and leadership experience. Organizers say the four-day workshop gives girls a safe and supportive environment where the girls can learn.
Karen Lundgard: "They get to work with other girls. They don't have that intimidation of working with other boys or men in their classrooms."
NY1: And Lundgard says it's important to introduce girls to STEM programs at an early age.
Karen Lundgard: "We found that if girls aren't getting that experience at an early age, they're being intimidated by it.
NY1: Keplish says there's nothing to be intimidated about. She hopes more girls look into STEM careers.
Erin Keplish: "Instead of women having these pre-conceived ideas about what they're supposed to do, I think that STEM is just a great place for them to be because it's innovative."

Paul McCartney stands up for Miley Cyrus
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Paul McCartney says he doesn't see why Miley Cyrus' MTV Video Music Awards performance has caused such a stir.
The former Beatle tells the UK's Sky News that after seeing it he was wondering "what's everybody shouting about?"
He describes her routine as "only mildly shocking" and not "explicit at all," and adds that "we've all seen worse than that."
Sir Paul also defends Miley's efforts to stand out and draw attention to herself. He says he's been told "the world that people like Miley live in is all noise," and "they've got to do something" to "get above the noise."

Natural Ways to Produce Oxytocin in Labour
When you are in labour your body produces Oxytocin which makes the uterus contract. A woman who has her labour artificially induced will often be given Syntocinon to get labour started. This is artifical Oxytocin. However, the body does not react in the same way to Syntocinon as Oxytocin. Syntocinon can cause the contractions to come on thick and fast and women are more likely to need an epidural (and so more likely to have an assisted birth) if their labour is artificially induced.
Conversely, Oxytocin is known as the 'love hormone' or the 'feel good hormone'. It causes the body to release endorphines which act as a natural pain killer.
So, what can you do in labour to get lots of that lovely Oxytocin? Well, Oxytocin is also released during sexual intercourse. If labour stalls you and your partner could try some nipple stimulation to help increase Oxytocin production which in turn helps the uterus to contraction.
You can also try doing the things you would normally do on a romantic date which your partner to increase Oxytocin levels in early labour. Laughing, rhythmic moving, touch and relaxed breathing can all increase Oxytocin levels.
In my last labour, when I felt the surges beginning to build my husband and I went for a gentle walk where we laughed together and held hands. It felt strange yet very natural and comfortable to be in labour whilst doing something so normal for us to do as a couple.
Has anyone tried nipple stimulation to help increase Oxytocin levels? Are there any other ways you helped your body to naturally bring on labour?
Best wishes,

Fighting out of Next Generation
Got a call last Thursday to say someone had cancelled their operation (Knee Arthroscopy) so mine has been brought forward to this Friday (13 months to the date that I injured it. Meniscal tear.) Cannot f****** wait! At last, rehab and get back to working order for maybe August/September.
I might get back to BJJ sooner but I'm not going to rush it. Not getting any younger, so, however long it takes, so be it.
An extremely frustrating time in the last year.Could be worse though.
Injuries prevention exercises, any tips.
Saw a training partner dislocation his toes last week...not sure this can be prevented, but maybe there is something that can be done before it happens.
If you could tell me what the hell I have done to my shoulder/bicep to save me chopping it off in frustration, I would appreciate it!
Basically cable flye type movements are painful, I can pull - e.g bent over rows etc are ok, but any pressing movement such as bench, press ups etc are quite painful on the shoulder and the pain runs down most of the bicep as well...
Am I dying?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.

James sent his sister to Bath to intercede with Mrs. Craigie.
Honest Captain Craigie looked a little dubious when he was consulted.
To the venerable magistrate Mrs. Craigie promised her daughter in marriage.
In her astonishment and annoyance, Mrs. Craigie took to her bed.
The owner of the Craigie House was a good neighbor, approachable and deferential.
He talked to some effect, but not at all in the fashion Mrs. Craigie had intended.
She admits that her reception was cold, and that Mrs. Craigie pressed her to return to Europe.
It was not until they were gone that Mrs. Craigie discovered what had happened.
Mrs. Craigie put on mourning as though her child was dead, and sent out to her friends the customary notifications.
You can put away these most sensible frocks for your next visit to Craigie Muir.

We have a tiered pricing system on all comics products. You determine your price based on the date you request for shipping.
Our base turnaround is 28 days. If you select that option then base pricing applies. Now that doesn't mean it will take 28 days for your order to ship only that it MIGHT take up to 28 and by selecting this option you're saying that it's OK with you if it does take up to 28 days.
If you absolutely need it faster than 28 days then you can select an earlier ship date, but a surcharge will apply. The faster you want it shipped the higher the surcharge. The surcharge maxes out at 175% of the base for a 10 day turnaround.
Please NOTE: The tiered pricing is for comics products ONLY. T-Shirts, art prints, art boards, flyers, etc. are always base priced and ship in 10 days (pending payment of course) unless bundled on an order with comics products.

GSA Provides Technology for Digital Signature on New Legislation
June 30, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration announced that the President signed a new electronic commerce legislation today using electronic digital signature technology powered by Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES).
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act brings the full effect of legal authority for electronic signatures to interstate and foreign transactions, specifically stating "a signature, contract, or other record relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form."
ACES is a joint venture between the Federal Technology Service and the Office of Governmentwide Policy at GSA. It is a government-wide multiple-award schedule contract providing identification, authentication, and non-repudiation via the use of digital signature technology as a means for individuals and business entities to be authenticated when accessing, retrieving, and submitting information with the government. It is a key initiative in assisting the Agencies' response to the Government Paperwork Elimination Act. Three industry partners provide the services for the ACES Program. They are Digital Signature Trust Company, Operational Research Consultants, Inc, and AT&T Corporation.
"The electronic signature capability demonstrated here today is a critical component in realizing our e-government goals," said David J. Barram, GSA Administrator.
At a ceremony conducted at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, best known for another signing ceremony 225 years ago, President Clinton used a smart card containing his personal, unique digital signature provided by ACES to digitally sign the legislation, marking the first time a U.S. President has used this technology to sign U.S. legislation. Digital signature technology is viewed as one of the key enablers in eliminating costly and inefficient paper processes, while also reducing the risks associated with doing business via the Internet.
President Clinton was issued the first operational ACES certificate and this signing marks the first operational demonstration of the ACES technology.
Additional information on ACES is available at the web site www.gsa.gov/aces.
For further information about the ACES contract, contact Helen Chapman at (202) 205-9639.

On Sept. 17, curators for the New Orleans Museum of Art planned to close at least one chapter of the area's post-hurricane recovery efforts. When the New Orleans cultural landmark reopened last spring, the marquis event was the unveiling of "Katrina Exposed," a collection of photographs, which chronicled the storm's effect on the city.
Later this month, the same gallery will host an exhibition with a happier theme, and hopefully provide a prediction of the city's next chapter: "Carnaval!"
The transition indicates residents are moving forward since Hurricane Katrina struck Aug. 29, 2005. It's been more than a year since the storm "they knew would eventually come" finally came. Around the city, there are other signs that things are approaching some sense of normalcy. One of these is the familiar sight of ready-mixed concrete being delivered.
Trailer town
A few miles south of the museum, one of Joseph Ditta's drivers pulls his mixer onto hollowed ground to discharge concrete on the grade of the streetcar line.
In a previous era, the maneuver might have earned the driver a ticket. But today, several finishers are anxiously waiting for the fresh concrete to fill the slab form. Along the famous line, sounds of mixers, backhoes, and boom trucks have replaced the distinctive clang of the streetcar bell, where crews work to restore service, which is scheduled to restart next year.
Ditta, vice president of sales and marketing for Carlo Ditta Ready Mix Concrete in Harvey, La., says work like this shows that the area is not only getting back to normal, but "there's also a renewed emphasis on quality, and we needed that."
Business is coming back, says Ditta. Initially, most of the work came from U.S. Army Corps of Engineer projects, as engineeers worked to repair damage from Katrina and prepare for the next hurricane season. But in the last few months, more work has come from regular commercial and even some residential customers. "We're fortunate most of our customers are well-established New Orleans businesses, whom we've dealt with for two or three generations," says Ditta.
His operations didn't suffer much storm damage, other than flooding in the main office. The entire computer and IT system was lost. Like thousands of the plant's neighbors, Ditta has been forced to operate from not-so-temporary housing.
Ditta, a third-generation producer, has faced several problems since the storm. First there's the challenge of increased costs. "We're in a market where labor, aggregates, and fixed costs have been stable for a long time, but all that has changed," he says.
Most important has been the availability of quality labor. Some of the producer's drivers moved away after the storm. But most are long-term residents with strong ties to the community and to the producer. "It's difficult right now to find new drivers with the skills of our regular employees," says Ditta.

'So with all the discussions they've had in the almost two months since the season ended what have they come up with? Regier said, "We're going to look at the free agency market and it's a pretty small market, we'll look at the trades, we'll look obviously at the draft. I think that's where we'll see most of the activity going into free agency. The flexibility we have with the two first round picks, two second round picks and then we'll have a better understanding as we get closer to the draft as to what exactly is available on the market, outside of the free agency."'

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
What makes this spot so damned unknown is the fact that it's so damned hard to get to. Here's how it works. Park your car at one of the very few public spots along North Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach -- you know, near Rush Limbaugh and the other millionaires. Now, either take a bike north to the island's farthest tip along North Ocean Way or hoof your ass across the soft sand for the two-mile trip. Along the rock jetty, swim into a world that most people have to pay a dive company to take them to. A reef has grown along these rocks, with living coral and undulating schools of sea life. Make sure you go at high tide, because low tide brings a cloud of silt and trash from the inlet. As long as they don't install parking spots nearby -- and you can bet those gazillionaires who live along the beach here won't let them -- this place will remain a hidden snorkeling spot that rivals anything north of the Keys.
Road to the Grand Slam
South Florida is still tennis mecca, drawing rising stars from near and far. Nowadays, it's not just the Florida weather (even states in the frigid north now have those inflatable, climate-controlled tennis pods where would-be tennis stars can drill year 'round) but sharp-eyed honers of championship racket technique like Rick Macci. It has been a good year for the maestro of the Palm-Aire Racquet Club in Pompano Beach, who counts the Williams sisters, Jennifer Capriati, and Andy Roddick as former charges. Macci's got a couple of up-and-comers (a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old, both girls), and the future's looking bright.
One of Macci's great pleasures is taking his three daughters -- ages 8, 7, and 5 -- to a county fair or a local carnival to get lost in the amusements. "There's a kid in all of us," Macci says.
"We always make a day of it at the county fair. What I like about it is just the enjoyment children get out of it. They can go on the littlest ride or the biggest ride and they don't know the difference." Can we call that a passion for the game?
The four-year, $52 million deal for aging first baseman Delgado, a bona fide star, was just what Jeffrey Loria needed to lift the stink off his franchise after giving away World Series hero Pudge Rodriguez. But what Delgado really brings to South Florida -- and the entire United States -- is a dose of political courage. That's right. The guy believes in something other than the next seven-figure endorsement deal he can squeeze out of some corporate giant. Delgado refuses to stand for the singing of "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch, a new ritual brought on by a knee-jerk reaction to the tragedy of September 11. Why? He doesn't like, as he puts it, "the way they tied 'God Bless America' and 9/11 to the war in Iraq in baseball." You see, he's not politicizing the game but the exact opposite: Delgado is protesting the politicization of sports. Been to an NFL game lately? Now, a good word to remember the troops overseas is one thing, but halftime has become a frickin' military procession. It's like a jingoistic commercial for the Bush Doctrine in between the ones for Buick and Bud Light. "I say God bless America, God bless Miami, God bless Puerto Rico, and God bless all countries until there is peace in the world," the new Marlins star says. Yes, and God bless Carlos Delgado too.
Some people would argue that this is not actually a sports league but a drinking club disguised as a sports league. In what other athletic association do players need to pause to put their beers in their fanny packs before making a catch in deep center field? But athleticism, strategy, competition, and team spirit are all part of the game. Players slide into home plate, make sweet plays, coach teammates from first and third bases, and debate when to bunt or sacrifice fly. The uniforms are hot too: Look for pimped-out threads complete with capes, tube socks, headbands, and beer cap appliqués. Get in on the trend while it's hot: The number of teams in the Fort Lauderdale division jumped from five in the first season to eight in the second, and registration just opened for West Palm Beach and Miami leagues. At last count, the birthplace of adult kickball, Washington, D.C., had 178 teams -- a number limited only by the number of available fields in the city.
You'd think that having your own private island would be too pricey for the working stiffs. But there's a private stretch of sand on Munyon Island at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park that's easily accessible for saps like you and me. Munyon is just a short kayak trip across the park's lagoon estuary, which is ideal for beginners, with its waist-deep water. The kayak rental will set you back $10 an hour for a single or $15 for a two-person, or $25 and $40 for a half-day trip. You'll paddle past roseate spoonbills, silver mullets, and feeding pelicans before landing along the soft sand of Munyon. There's even a covered picnic spot hidden in the trees. On most days, you'll share the island only with the hermit crabs, which will make this your own private island, at least for a day.
If you like to run, well, you're crazy. We mean, it's almost summer in South Florida, and even if you jog at midnight, you'll sweat like a pig. You'll suffer. Of course, you may end up healthier, but then again, you may end up dead. So we recommend drinking heavily. Still want to exercise? Try the 8.5-mile Hollywood Broadwalk course set by the South Florida Striders, who sponsor a fun run every Wednesday at 6:15 p.m.. The course starts at the bandshell, which is located on Johnson Street at the beach. Head north along the Broadwalk to Dania Beach pier -- you'll see some stunning vistas and get a good look at humanity (meaning albino-like, shirtless, Québecois tourists) along the way. Then turn around and head back south to the Jefferson Street parking lot. Turn around again and return to the bandshell. There are three great advantages to this course: (1) There are showers along the way, so you can cool off; (2) it's measured, so you know how far you've gone; (3) Nick's Bar and Restaurant (954-920-2800) is located just north of the course's end, so you can suck down a cool Kalik when you finish.

I know a lot of you guys are down in the dumps today over the Devils' precarious position in the Stanley Cup finals.
I can't cheer you up. Sorry.
No review today. I will say this though, and I mentioned it last night … everyone is making out the Devils' fourth line as this super trio. And well, it was pretty darn good against the Rangers, and it did account for the Devils' only goal in Game 2 (paging Ilya Kovalchuk; paging future Ranger Zach Parise).
But the Devils' fourth line is also the one through which Drew Doughty sliced like a hot knife through butter; and the Devils' fourth line is the one around which Jeff 10-foot-pole Carter circled twice on the game-winning goal.
By the way, how good is this quick Quick guy?
I'm not saying it's over yet, because the Devils now have road-ice advantage (road teams: 46-36) in the series. But they'd better win Game 3, where we will be sickened by the bandwagon celebrity fans. We'll also get to see TGO (The Great One) and I'm sure other former Rangers, er, I mean, Kings like Luc Robitaille and Marcel Dionne.
After Game 3, John Tortorella and three-time defending Super Bowl champion Jets coach Rex Ryan will be interviewed by Bob Costas on his NBCSN show.
See yas.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
Wisc State Field Archery Championship
Well, I shot Day 1 of the Wisconsin State Field Championship today. This is my first "real" field tournament.
Wow, this is the ironman competition for archery. 3D is a piece of cake compared to this (as a far as number of shots).
Day1: 28 field and 28 animal targets...140 arrows.
Day2: 28 hunter targets (we shoot this tomorrow)
I shot decent for me, 270 on first half and 264 on second. Second half, I set the sight wrong on the 65 yard target and didn't notice until I shot the 2nd arrow
Shot 281 on the animals which is not too good in my opinion.
I didn't gain any real points on the animal targets. Should have got more of these points.
I should sleep like a rock tonight and then get up early and do it again. I think I have my sight marks a little better now. We will see tomorrow. Sure would like to break above 270 per half.
If you haven't shot Field Archery, give it a try it will make you better no matter what flavor of archery you like to shoot.Chris Christenson - Admin

good shootin Chris!!
I struggled a bit on Day 2 but still had a good time. Good people, great course, good food.
The additional pressure of the tournament made for a rough day with the release. It seeed like I would be sitting in the bullseye and could not get the release to fire. I try hard not to punch the release and the result is sometimes I can't get it to fire at all.
I need to go back to the back tension and stay there.
Met a bunch of new people, weather was really good and we were done early on sunday.Chris Christenson - Admin

Spanish Fork • Just as all lanes on Interstate 15 in Utah County opened permanently this week after a massive three-year rebuilding project, officials signaled that drivers should not grow too accustomed to the absence of orange construction cones.
More widening and maintenance on I-15 will return next spring extending south to Payson from Spanish Fork, where the current 24-mile-long reconstruction from Lehi just ended, the Utah Transportation Commission was told Friday.
Shane Marshall, director of the Utah Department of Transportation's Region 3, said that stretch will be widened from the current two lanes to three in each direction. UDOT plans to add the new lanes in what is now a wide median.
UDOT plans to keep two lanes open in each direction during daytime hours while crews work on the $32 million project but some nighttime closures are expected. That project will go to bid soon.
Besides just the widening, the commission on Friday also approved adding another $4 million to mill and overlay pavement on the existing lanes in that stretch. That work had been planned in the future but was moved up to occur at the same time as the widening to minimize overall disruptions.
As the commission approved such future work, it also took time to praise UDOT and its contractor, Provo River Constructors, for the current rebuilding project.
Commission Chairman Jeffrey Holt noted the project had an overall budget of $1.73 billion including land acquisition costs and came in $230 million under budget. Its expected formal completion next month although all lanes opened a bit early this week is also two years earlier than originally expected before bidding began.
Holt praised the project for managing to keep most lanes open most of the time during what UDOT says was the fastest $1 billion highway project ever built in America. "It's hard to operate on a major artery while the heart is still beating. It was a fantastic effort," Holt said.
UDOT Executive Director John Njord said contractors were able to speed construction by doing such things as bringing in more massive concrete-paving machines than they actually had crews to operate. That allowed crews to move instantly to pave once section after another, instead of spending days to take apart, move and set up machines.
"That shaved months off their program," Njord said.
Commissioner Kent Millington, who teaches at Utah Valley University, said that as the orange barrels disappeared this week and all lanes opened, he had numerous commuters tell him, "I can't believe how simple this commute has become now."
UDOT has started running ads in Utah County movie theaters and football games proclaiming that "the end is here" with the project, celebrating how it rebuilt 10 freeway interchanges, added two lanes in each direction and added, rebuilt or modified 63 bridges.
Njord said he was at a football game where "the end is here" message played, "and it received the loudest cheer of the night" from drivers tired of the construction.
Of course, the project faced plenty of controversy after revelations that UDOT quietly paid a losing bidder $13 million after the company contended it was robbed of the $1.1 billion construction contract by one point after state adjustments in bid scoring. The contract went instead to a consortium that had donated $82,500 to Gov. Gary Herbert.
One of the reasons UDOT said it adjusted scoring was to reward a plan that would keep more lanes open more of the time during construction.
Audits later found no wrongdoing or political pressure by UDOT and Herbert over the bid, but auditors said they couldn't determine whether the bid process and settlement payment were fair because of a lack of documentation.
That audit also criticized UDOT for not concealing identities of the bidders, providing misleading information to one bidder about how proposals would be evaluated and for including on the UDOT evaluation team someone married to an employee of one of the bidding contractors.
