Theyve undoubtedly read about it and studied a map of the track. Perhaps they've sampled it on a simulator in the factory or even visited the venue, but the drivers have yet to really experience Abu Dhabis newly-built Yas Marina Circuit. After hearing so much about it, however, they clearly cant wait to get cracking. Here they reveal their preparations for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and explain why they think it could become a firm favourite in the future
Jenson Button, Brawn GP
"It's a fantastic feeling to be going into the final race having achieved my ambition of winning the drivers' championship and with the team having wrapped up the constructors' championship in Brazil. We want to finish the season in style with a great result but we can be a little more relaxed in our approach to the weekend! I had a short break in the Gulf region after the Bahrain Grand Prix and went to have a look at the Yas Marina Circuit. Even back then, when the construction work was still underway, the facilities looked outstanding and the organisers have done a great job in creating a spectacular venue. It's always fun to try a new race track, particularly one which looks as unique as Yas Marina with the unusual pit-lane exit and the day/night race. I'm sure Abu Dhabi is going to host an exciting weekend and a great finale to the 2009 Formula One season."
Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP
"It's always a good challenge to race at a new venue and the Yas Marina Circuit looks extremely impressive from the reports that I have seen. The layout of the circuit seems both fun and challenging and it will be interesting to start the race in daylight and to finish in evening conditions. Our track walk on Thursday will be important to get an initial feel for the characteristics of the circuit and we will spend the first few laps on Friday getting to grips with the layout. From then on, it will be business as usual with our standard practice programme. The team has had a great season so far and we want to finish on a high with a strong performance this weekend."
Ross Brawn, Brawn GP team principal
"Brazil was a fantastic weekend and to have won the constructors' and the drivers' championships with Brawn GP is a very special achievement. I am incredibly proud of the whole team at Brawn GP and Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines. We've all had a few busy days since returning to the UK and it was great for both Jenson and I to get back to the factory and thank everyone in person for their contribution to our successes. At the same time, we have been looking ahead to the final race and ensuring that all our preparations are in place for Abu Dhabi which is an important weekend for the team as we look to secure second position in the drivers' championship with Rubens. The new Yas Marina Circuit looks extremely impressive and we're looking forward to getting out to Abu Dhabi and having our first look at the track. With the challenge of a new circuit, we are able to use data provided by the FIA to create a circuit map which can be used in our simulator at the factory. We went through this process for the new street circuits in Valencia and Singapore last year so it is a process that the team is familiar with. Knowing the circuit when they arrive helps the drivers to get into a rhythm quickly during the first practice sessions and allows us to check gear ratios and compare set-up items. We can also use the simulator to understand tyre behaviour. From this we get an understanding of the car balance and that allows us to determine our start set-up for the weekend."
Hirohide Hamashima, Bridgestone director of motorsport tyre development
"This will be the first ever race meeting at this circuit so it is very much a step into the unknown. Of course, we work very closely with the circuit and teams with simulations and evaluations of the layout, and we have been working with a sample of the track surface. We will also have some data from the GP2 Asia Series test which takes place the week before the Grand Prix. In terms of expected lateral forces we can say that the circuit is similar to Valencia. The track surface is similar to Barcelona or Fuji. Our ambient temperature predictions place Abu Dhabi as being similar to Bahrain. The track is new so very dark in colour, meaning it could get quite hot. We expect to see a lot of surface evolution.
"The circuit layout is a typical stop and go street course so there will be traction demands. As with any new surface we can expect the possibility of graining early in the weekend. We have brought the medium and soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyres as they sit in the middle of our tyre range. It is difficult to know exactly what the temperatures will be, especially the track surface temperature with such a dark new surface."
Fernando Alonso, Renault
I always enjoy the challenge of a new circuit and the track in Abu Dhabi looks very impressive. It will be a new experience for everyone so its important that we maximise all the sessions and learn as much as we can quickly to try and find an advantage. I think the facility looks amazing and will be great for the people of Abu Dhabi. We went there a few years ago for the street demo and saw how much enthusiasm the fans have for Formula One. I would love to finish the season and my Renault career with a great result. It will be an emotional race because I have enjoyed so many special memories with this team and I am leaving behind a lot of friends. Renault is one of the great teams in Formula One and I look forward to fighting with them on the track in the years ahead.
Romain Grosjean, Renault
It will be a new adventure for everyone and I'm very curious to see what it's like as there has been so much expectation for this track. The photos I've seen of the Marina look amazing and I'm sure it will be a great way to end the season. The layout looks like fun: it will be quick as there are some long straights and hopefully some overtaking opportunities. I think it will also feel like a street circuit with the big buildings and the yachts in the harbour. As it's a new track for all the drivers, things should be easier for me as we all have to learn the circuit. My aim is to try and match Fernando, qualify well and hopefully fight for points in the race.
Bob Bell, Renault team principal
I think all the teams enjoy visiting a new country and a new track always has a modern infrastructure with so much space available for the mechanics and engineers. It remains to be seen how good the circuit will be in terms of the action it produces, but from what I've seen so far it seems the organisers have done an excellent job. As a team we enjoy the challenge of a new track and we will be ready to exploit any advantage we can. It would be great to get Romain and Fernando through to Q3 in qualifying so that we have some reasonable starting positions for the race. We want to be challenging for points and even the podium, which is a realistic target considering the performance level we have already demonstrated this season.
Jarno Trulli, Toyota
"It's been an up-and-down season for us with such a strong start followed by some disappointing races in Europe then a really competitive end to the year. As Abu Dhabi is a new track it's impossible to predict how we will perform but after the speed we showed in the last three races I am confident of finishing the year on a high. I was extremely frustrated to be eliminated by an accident in Brazil because we had looked very quick all weekend and I genuinely believe we had a fantastic chance of finishing on the podium. So I am confident for this weekend and I am really motivated to get another great result before the season ends. Abu Dhabi looks like another fantastic new venue and I am really interested to see what the track is like to drive so I can't wait for practice to begin on Friday."
Kamui Kobayashi, Toyota
"I am really looking forward to my second Grand Prix and I want to make the most of this unexpected chance. I didn't know the track in Brazil and that was a little bit of a disadvantage because almost all the other drivers had some experience of it. But that's not the case in Abu Dhabi; this is a new track for everyone so that should help me. I am also more familiar with the car now, as well as other procedures during a race weekend like pit stops and the two tyre compounds, so I expect to be more competitive in Abu Dhabi. I am sure the car will be strong and I will do everything I can to try to score my first points in Formula One. Of course it will be extremely difficult because the field is very strong and this is just my second Grand Prix but I will give my all."
John Howett, Toyota team president
"We are very much looking forward to the first Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which marks the end of an eventful and positive season for us. Even if we haven't yet achieved all our targets, we produced a very competitive car and when we made the most of its potential we were able to fight systematically for the podium. Having discussed the medical advice with Timo and his management, the team has decided to take no risk and to put Kamui in the car. He proved in very difficult circumstances in Brazil that he can compete in Formula One and we are looking forward to another gutsy performance. This track is again new to him but that is true for everyone, which should work in Kamui's favour, so we are expecting a strong display from both drivers."
Nico Rosberg, Williams
I am really looking forward to going to Abu Dhabi. With the amount of time and effort that has gone into building it, I think its going to be a fantastic venue with stunning facilities and a great experience for Formula One. Ive heard its a sell-out too so it should be a really exciting race weekend for the teams and the fans and a great way to end the year. Abu Dhabi is going to be a new experience for all of us so the simulator at Grove has been a real help and Im pleased I had it at my disposal this week. There are some things like the bumps and kerbs that you cant completely replicate, but braking, oversteer and understeer are all very similar. Its definitely a big advantage having a sim like ours as I will be able to drive out of the pits on Friday and know the track pretty much straightaway. The one consideration Ill be interested to see play out is the fact that we will start the race in daylight and then move into the night time.
Kazuki Nakajima, Williams
Its really exciting to be going to a brand new circuit. The organisers certainly look like theyve put a lot of thought into developing the track and the facilities. It all looks very impressive and the perfect place to end the championship. As we havent driven the circuit yet, its difficult to give an accurate breakdown of the track but our simulator has provided us with some really invaluable data. It looks like set-up will veer towards a medium to high downforce configuration to cope with the long straight (which will require good top speeds) and tight corners which we expect to see on a street circuit. Good grip levels for balance and to cope with the sand will also be crucial. One of the most interesting things for me is that we will drive under a hotel which I cant wait to experience.
Adrian Sutil, Force India
Yas Marina looks like it will be a great facility - very luxurious and a great working environment for the team. However I don't think the track will be massively challenging. It has a long straight, but there are a lot of second gear corners as well, which might hurt us a little bit. The good thing is everyone is starting from the same platform, so it will be a little bit of a surprise when we arrive. When preparing for a new event, the first step is always to look at the track map and the conditions you can expect at the event. Is there anything that looks different or challenging in the corners, is there something that you need to prepare for physically? I'll speak to my engineers about what they expect in terms of set-up and then the next step is to put it all together in the simulator. This gives a head start as you can make a basic set-up from this and use as a starting point in practice. You also know what to expect when you get on track.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, Force India
We really want points - it's important for the team and for myself. We'll be giving 100 percent until the end, in practice, qualifying and the race. We have done some laps of Yas Marina in the simulator and it looks like a great facility. The track seems very interesting and could suit the VJM02 very well as there are a few long straights and a tricky middle section. It's also good to visit new venues so I'm looking forward to this race.
Dr Vijay Mallya, Force India chairman and team principal
Brazil was a missed opportunity to score points. Adrian was in a prime position to get some decent points, perhaps even a podium, but it was not to be. But the Abu Dhabi aero configuration is roughly similar to Brazil and Valencia, and even though we can't expect rain, we can expect a reasonable level of performance in qualifying that should put us in a good position for the race. We could technically move up a position in the championship as we're just 13 points behind Renault, but it will be tough so we need to consolidate what we have already. Toro Rosso have been looking very strong in recent races so it's a matter of personal pride to keep them behind. Ninth place in the championship is one position higher than last year and we need that improvement to validate all the progress we've made this year. Having new events on the calendar certainly keeps the series fresh and opens the sport out to new markets. I hear the venue is absolutely fantastic as well, so it will set new standards for Formula One. This too is very important, for the sport to keep evolving and looking at making improvements to track facilities, spectator opportunities and the whole 'experience' of going to a race. For Force India for sure it will be an extra special event as there is a large number of ex-pat Indians, which always gives us that little more of a push.
Dominic Harlow, Force India's chief engineer
Abu Dhabi will be one of the most eagerly awaited new race debuts in some time. The track and facilities are immense and a very interesting weekend is in store. We expect it to be quite hot obviously, but the twilight timing to the sessions will mean track surface temperatures will not be as high as they could be. The lap includes a very long straight, over 1km, with three high energy brakings and predominantly slow, second or third gear, quite technical corners with a surprising amount of gradient change. On the reliability side cooling will be the main focus, and for performance finding the right downforce level and understanding the factors that will dictate race strategy. It looks like being a great season finale and we'll be pushing as hard as ever to finish with some more points.
Hirohide Hamashima, Bridgestone director of motorsport tyre development
"This will be the first ever race meeting at this circuit so it is very much a step into the unknown. Of course, we work very closely with the circuit and teams with simulations and evaluations of the layout, and we have been working with a sample of the track surface. We will also have some data from the GP2 Asia Series test which takes place the week before the Grand Prix. In terms of expected lateral forces we can say that the circuit is similar to Valencia.

We have brought the medium and soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyres as they sit in the middle of our tyre range. It is difficult to know exactly what the temperatures will be, especially the track surface temperature with such a dark new surface."
Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari
The race in Abu Dhabi will be my last Grand Prix with Ferrari and as usual I will give it everything to gain the best possible result. Well try to conclude this difficult year with a good result, hoping that it will be enough to gain the third place in the constructors championship, McLaren took over in Brazil. It will be difficult, because the competition is very strong. Furthermore in Brazil the two titles have been assigned, so maybe there are certain drivers, who will risk a little bit more, as everything has been decided already. Our direct competitors are still improving their car, while we have been using the same car since the race in Hungary at the end of July. There are many expectations as far as the Yas Marina Circuit is concerned, but its difficult making any predictions, because were racing there for the first time. As far as we can see the organisers have done some great work and the circuit seems to me very interesting and challenging. Furthermore there will be a very special challenge, given the fact that well start the race in sunlight, while it will end with artificial lights. This will definitely add some suspense.
Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber
I have not been to the Abu Dhabi circuit so far. As we do not have a simulator I only know the track from the Internet and from a couple of presentations. The track looks very interesting. The facilities and the buildings around the circuit especially seem to be outstanding. However, before having done the first laps on the track with a Formula One car, it is really difficult to judge the circuit itself. But of course I know this situation from the past. In 2008 both Valencia and Singapore were new on the calendar. Fortunately I consider myself a driver who does not need a lot of track time to be on a good pace straight away. I guess that a lot of cars will be out on the track on Friday in order to understand the track and to learn as much as possible. I am really looking forward to going there. It will be my last race for this team, but I hope very much to see them on the grid again next year.
Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber
Im very pleased to be getting another taste of summer and will be flying out to Abu Dhabi a few days early with my family. Im really excited about the new circuit. Everyone whos been there already has described it as an incredible place. I think its always great to discover a new track. I havent found the lack of a simulator to be a disadvantage at other new circuits, and this way its even more exciting when you drive out of the garage for the first time. This will be a very special race for all of us in the team. So far I havent really had that feeling of saying goodbye. But that will change in Abu Dhabi for sure, and will probably be quite intense. I very much hope that the team is given a place on the grid for 2010 soon.
Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director
We will travel to Abu Dhabi with mixed feelings. The eight points we collected in Brazil have allowed us to move up a place in the constructors championship, and we will be highly motivated once again at the final race of the season. We are looking forward to racing at the new Formula One venue and cant wait to experience the atmosphere at the Marina Circuit.
However, there will of course also be a fair amount of sadness within the team as we set off for Abu Dhabi. After all, this will be our 70th and final race with the BMW Sauber team."
Willy Rampf, BMW Sauber head of engineering
I always find it exciting to compete at a new venue. The circuit in Abu Dhabi has a whole series of predominantly slow and medium-speed corners, but also two very long straights. Since the track is also very wide, we can probably look forward to a lot of overtaking moves. Of course, we have carried out the usual simulations, but one significant unknown is how the tyres will respond on the new asphalt. We will only discover the answer to this question during the course of the weekend. The ambient temperatures are sure to play a major role. Although the race is not scheduled to start until 5.00 pm, we can still expect the outside air temperature to be well over 30 degrees Celsius. Brazil was the first race in which weve been able to fully exploit the potential of the car since the extensive package of modifications were introduced in Singapore, and were also expecting to have a strong race in Abu Dhabi. Well be pulling out all the stops to finish the season on a positive note.
Mark Webber, Red Bull
As usual, the F1 season has been pretty long, but its still always good to have the chance to drive the car again, particularly when were in our current form. The last race of the year will be very interesting to go to, as no-ones raced there before and its another street circuit - it sounds fascinating. I think it will be a good finale to the season and a timely end to the championship. Were all ready to start next year now, as the championship titles are decided. Im expecting Red Bull Racing to be pretty strong in Abu Dhabi. Weve been pretty strong since Singapore, so theres no reason to suggest that we cant be fighting towards the sharp end again, no question about it. As usual, qualifying will be very important on a street circuit and then well see how the race goes from there. Were looking to finish off on a high for the team. Ive heard the Yas Marina Circuit has some nice undulations, which sounds good. Its got a few fast sections to it and a slow section to finish off. I think it will be pretty dusty, but well clean it up pretty quick; its always nice to go to a new track.
David Coulthard, Red Bull team consultant
Having had the opportunity to drive the circuit, what struck me is that its a two-stage track; the first half of the lap until corner nine is typical of the new type of track. Theres the fast section at the beginning from Turn One to the Turn Four tight hairpin with the grandstand literally overhead, giving great viewing for the spectators. The 1.2-kilometre back straight should give an opportunity for some slipstreaming and overtaking and then the back section of the circuit has a real street circuit feel to it, where you come along the section that takes you to the hotel and then passes underneath it, via a series of 90 degree right-handers and left-handers before opening out to the end of the lap and a medium speed corner on to the start-finish straight. The pit lane entry is very challenging, as is the exit, which is actually in a tunnel under the circuit and is going to make it particularly challenging for the drivers coming in and out of pit stops. There are great facilities and air-conditioned garages which will make working conditions in the heat a little bit easier and also having an evening race will obviously take some of the heat out of what can be a very hot venue. I think the twilight aspect of the race will be more of a visual treat for the spectators and the TV audience, but I think for the drivers it will be absolutely fine, as there is enough overhead lighting to make it blend seamlessly from day into night, no problem.
Lewis Hamilton, McLaren
Weve had a fantastic second half of the season, and it would be perfect to end the year with a win - it would send us into the winter fully motivated and pumped up for the 2010 season. All the signs point to Abu Dhabi being another strong track for us - there are plenty of slow corners leading onto long straights, where KERS will be very advantageous. Seeing as its likely to be the last race for KERS, it would be fantastic to send it off with a perfect result - that would be a very fitting farewell for all the engineers who have worked so hard to make the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes system the best in the business.
Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren
I had a very strong race in Brazil and Im determined to rack up a points finish in Abu Dhabi to make sure we hold on to third position in the constructors championship. From what Ive seen of the track, it looks pretty good - its got a couple of fast corners at the start of the lap, but then theres a real low-speed, technical section towards the end. It still looks like it will be a tough track for overtaking, but the facilities look amazing - totally world-class - and I think the idea of a dusk race is very good for our sport. Singapore has set the standard very high with its night race, but Abu Dhabi looks like it will set new standards in Formula One. I cant wait to get out there.
Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal
We may have just overhauled Ferrari in Brazil to move into third place in the constructors championship, but, being just one point ahead with just one race remaining, means that we go into the Abu Dhabi weekend fully focused on scoring the maximum possible points to consolidate that position. As usual, there has been no let-up from the team in its preparations. We head to Abu Dhabi not only extremely encouraged by the improved pace we showed in Brazil but also very optimistic that the final race of the season offers us another opportunity to challenge for victory. Everything Ive seen and heard about the Abu Dhabi circuit speaks of the race organisers total passion and commitment to perfection. The track already looks to have eclipsed the facilities we have anywhere else in the world and Im very optimistic that, like Singapore before it, this weekends race will set a new benchmark for Formula One and open up new opportunities for the sport in the Middle East and the rest of the world.
Norbert Haug, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Vice-President
This exciting season is coming to its end with the very first race at the new track in Abu Dhabi. This circuit defines the new state-of-the-art Formula One racetracks, and Im sure it will be a truly exciting and hard-fought race. After both world championships have been decided, every team that is in a position to do so will try to use the chance to win this prestigious final race of the season. Since Lewis first victory in Hungary in late July, McLaren has shown a clear upwards trend. Both Lewis and McLaren have achieved two wins and five podium finishes, resulting in more points than any team and any other driver in the last seven races. We try to continue in that direction and hopefully with a similar result to the last street race in Singapore, which Lewis won.

Six CSS volunteers spent community day at the Bike Cave Collective, helping tear apart old bicycles and build new ones. The four students and two campus ministry staff worked side-by-side with the community members straightening up the Bike Cave before winter sets in.
The Bike Cave Collective is located in the basement of the Dorothy Day House and serves as a free-of-charge cooperative for bike repair and building. The men and women who work in the bike cave teach others to build and repair bikes themselves.
Most often help is given to those who cannot afford other forms of transportation, but the door is open to anyone who stops by, said Alex Strachota, who has lived at the Dorothy Day House as an intern for almost two years.
Strachota said that the Bike Cave helps to promote an alternative economy. "We take labor of all forms in exchange for bikes, parts, and maintenance," Strachota said. "Some people cook, some clean, some volunteer back time in the Cave or the house."
The Bike Cave also appeals to those who do not desire to support the big business that dominate the United States capitalistic society, said Gregory Schultz, who was originally an intern at Loaves and Fishes in the summer of 2006. He quit his job and came back in June 2007. Schultz has been living there since.
"Thirteen of the 14 biggest companies in the world are oil companies," Schultz said. "We do not need to let them rule our lives if we do not become dependent on what they provide. By creating an alternative, such as biking, we do not need to support such destructive elements of capitalism."
The Bike Cave is only one element of the Loaves and Fishes community. In addition to housing interns, the three shelter the poor, marginalized, and those who need a home.
Among the houses there are places for men, women, and families. The houses provide meals, beds, clothes, showers, and all the affordable comforts of home to their guests. There is no limit on how long or little they can stay as long as they give back to the community.
The Loaves and Fishes community is one that highlights a reasonable democracy, "a democracy that works." The Loaves and Fishes Catholic Worker Community consists of three "hospitality houses" named: Olive Branch, Dorothy Day House, and Hannah House. "Democracy is supposed to be about having a voice, but when the poles come out 51 percent to 49 percent, where is the voice for the minority? That is not what we're trying to do here," Strachota said. "Everything is either unanimous or we compromise."
He said that at Loaves and Fishes all the decisions are made with an equal say from all who inhabit the house. If one person disagrees with an idea, then the idea is discarded.
Strachota said, "We are a network of friends and family, I guess. No, family, that is the right word to describe us."
Each Catholic Worker house revolves around a life perspective known as personalism, which is defined as a psychological approach stressing individual personality as the central concern of psychology.
The Catholic Worker Movement began in the midst of the Great Depression when Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day met, one frustrated with capitalism and the other with communism.
They decided to form an alternative lifestyle that centers, as Dorothy Day said, on how to "live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ."
Today, there are over 185 Catholic Worker communities in the United Sates according to the Catholic Worker Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Dorothy Day said, "It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills, than it is to keep a strong, hearty, living faith in each individual around us, to see Christ in him," in reference to personalism.
In the Loaves and Fishes' spring 2009 newsletter their mission statement says, "We dream of and work to build the kingdom of Goda world free of hunger, war, racism, homelessness and other such crimes."
The Loaves and Fishes community will continues to strive towards these idealistic goals, all the while reaching out to the Duluth community for assistance.

Sen. Vitter Resents Comparisons with Ex-Gov. Spitzer
Double standard? What double standard?
If you ask Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), his past "sin" involving call girls is different from that of disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. And those who dare to compare the two cases, he says, are the types of folks who disagree with the senator on "important issues like immigration."
That's what Vitter told a reporter with the Independent Weekly news magazine based in Lafayette, La., who was lucky enough to have his home phone number chosen to be included in an automated telephone town hall conference with Vitter last week.
As the reporter writes on the magazine's web site today, he first asked Vitter where he stands on extending H2B workers visas. Then he asked a second question:
"New York Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer just resigned today after it was revealed that he had an affair with a prostitute. I also just read an editorial in the Ouchita Citizen today that noted if Spitzer resigns, you should resign also over your past transgression. How do you respond to people who say that there's a double standard at work here?"
The reporter noted that toward the end of his question "an automated message informed me that I was now in 'listen-only mode.'"
Vitter replied to the town hall question, saying, "I made a very serious mistake a long time ago, and I have to live with that every day. That's not a flippant statement. I need to spend my whole life making up for that."
The Independent Weekly reporter noted that Vitter "sounded genuine and contrite."
"Then his tone turned a bit defiant," the reporter writes.
Vitter reportedly replied, "Anybody who looks at the two cases will see that there is an enormous difference between the two of them. The people that are trying to draw comparisons to the two cases are people who've never agreed with me on important issues like immigration and other things."
Immigration, prostitution -- who can keep it all straight these days?
The prostitution scandal that became Spitzer's demise dredged up Vitter's role in the so-called D.C. Madam's case, which forced Vitter to admit to a "very serious sin" after his phone number showed up several times on Deborah Jeane Palfrey's client list when Vitter was a U.S. House member.
Liberal and conservative writers alike in Louisiana have been turning up the heat on Vitter to resign in the wake of the Spitzer scandal, including Republican
Christopher Tidmore, who first reported on Vitter's alleged tryst with a French Quarter hooker in New Orleans. As he writes on BayouBuzz.com, "For the Republic, Senator, for Louisiana, it's time to go."
The Gambit Weekly, a New Orleans weekly, says Vitter should resign. So does the publisher of the decidedly conservative Ouachita Citizen.

Such as, Mr. Vitter? Surely you have something of substance to back your statement? Or was it just an opportunity to add one more thing to the list of acts the liberal bogeyman is responsible for?

The actions are both illegal by an elected official that makes laws and should be held to a higher standard. If you aren't going to hold them to a higher standard at least hold them to a standard that is applied to everyone. Vitter should be gone, but the GOP won't do it because they want the seat. They weren't afraid of losing the seat in Idaho however.

Vitter is a bible pounding, intellectually immoral, church-gping sinner and total hypocrite sell-out.
His case and Spitzer's are identical.
All hypocrites need to be driven from office.

How come Senator David Vitter (R) and Singing Senator Larry Craig (R) can be dealt a major blow and remain in office and Osama bin Laden can be a man of faith and receive no major blow and remain on the hunt against the American Taliban. Why doesn't someone please give Osama bin Laden a major blow so we can impeach him!

If you go to You Tube and search Vitter, there's a clip of him on the Senate floor saying that marriage is the most important institution in the history of forever. The worst sort of hypocrite, and a Bush-enabler of the first order. Louisiana needs to get rid of him.

Yup...There's a BIG difference.
While both men are hypocrites, when Spitzer got busted, he immediately admitted his transgression and resigned for the good of the Party, his family and to try to reclaim some semblance of honor in a dishonorable position.
Vitter, on the other hand, is still there, still in total denial and still has NO idea how utterly despicable his latest self-serving excuses make him seem.
While Spitzer is not someone to be admired...Vitter is scum and so is the Party leadership that has allowed him to remain in a position of reponsibility and trust!

ROTFLOL! There is no gradation of sin. If Spitzer is guilty so is Vitter. He needs to resign. What is it that the Republicans can do wrong things and hang in there but there is a firestorm when the same sanctimonious type Democratic politicians do the same. The media bias certainly shows.

Yup, I agree with you Pete! "Vitter certainly is a total scumbag in complete denial!" It definitely looks like the Republican Senators, and Representatives, have hypocritical views. One for them, and the other for Democrats who commit the same ugly, hurtful, disgusting, inhumane, marriage-destroying sins.

If there's one thing Americans can get excited about, it's sex.Whether it's Clinton, Craig, Vitter or Spitzer, it's energy fuel for the media. However, I respectfullly submit the kind of hypocrisy that we see from Washington every day regarding "victory,""freedom" and "democracy" is just as disgusting, just as degrading to our country and just as deplorable.
We'd all be better off if we concentrated on that kind of duplicity......

Vitter is exactly what's wrong with our electoral system as it stands today. The people that elect losers like Vitter can be quickly identified as losers too, otherwise, why put a fool like him in office unless they don't understand what fools they are as well? It's the same for the fool we have in the White House. Why in hell would America elect a man so far over his head that it makes our collective head's spin in total frustration and anger? Only when the American people exercise their own sound judgement and stop reelecting the scam artists will our government start to have some character.

for a party that rode into power on a platform of morals and term limits, the R's do not seem to be a slave to either once they gained power. look at the difference between Newt and Pres. Clinton. newt is a serial aldulterer(2 time offender as far as known) who was 2 heart beats from the oval office having sex with an intern, yet he felt free to push for impeachment charges vs. clinton. maybe vitter and spitzer should have consulted bill and newt on how to get sex w/o running up huge am.ex. charges?

heres another adultery/white collar scandal for you!
paul helmke is a "yell law skool" pal of the clintons
He is also a documented adulterer, and admitted "non-inhaler"(like his buddies bill and hillary
he is currently all over the internet for his role as point amn for the brady center/campaign/dc-gun ban case.
I am a victim of his illegal activities, by exposing political corruption/improprieties.
I have available all documentation, via my local library, and other documentable sources, archives, and city public records from his 12 year mayoral administration.
heres hoping the investigative spirits of woodward and bernstein vindicate me. because my local media, and local police/court system wont act. the governor( Mitch Daniels) finally had his state police, and excise raid the illegal gambling(1992-2005) but no further prosecution, nor actions have been taken to indict the guilty- cops. prosecutors, politician, judges, and so on.
i also have an e-mail paper trail as well.
this is as big as this case: http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2006/May-28-Sun-2006/photos/galardi_pointing.pdf
thank you for investigating this.
please post to my blog, for any followup information, or e-mail me.

Another day, another roster move. Or eight.
The Seahawks, who already have turned over a larger percentage of their final 2009 roster than any team in the league, continued to tinker with that already revamped roster Wednesday by signing two draft choices, as well as a pair of rookie free agents.
Signing multi-year contracts were linebacker
Coming, and Going |
The Seahawks sign four players Wednesday, and released four others: |
Draft choices signed |
Rookie free agents signed |
Players released |
The well-traveled Tukuafu definitely has a story worth retelling, but let's start with an explanation of how he got here.
Among the players released to clear roster spots was Michael Allan, a tight end from Whitworth and Bellevue's Interlake High School who was signed three weeks ago. Also released were free safety Quinton Teal, wide receiver Patrick Carter and rookie linebacker Kevin Dixon.
Carter had been signed to a futures contract in January, while Dixon was added after the draft and Teal was signed in late April.
The Seahawks have had as many as 89 players on their roster – and currently are at 85 – while waiting for their draft choices to sign. General manager John Schneider is using these extra spots to look at extra players.
"We basically have those spots that we can kind of continue to rotate through and just kind of work some guys out – and have extended workouts instead of the normal, half-hour, one-on-one workout," he said. "We're not going to be right every time, but we're going to continue to work to try and figure it out."
Tukuafu is just happy to be part of the figure-it-out process. After not being selected in the draft, he attended minicamps with the San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins on a tryout basis without getting a contract.
That changed Tuesday. Tukuafu, along with Moen, was signed after working out for the Seahawks. He then took part in the offseason conditioning program Wednesday morning, before putting in some extra work with line coach Dan Quinn to get him ready for Thursday's OTA practice.
All this came with some sage advice from strength and conditioning coach Chris Carlisle.
"Like coach Carlisle said, 'It's like you're in a choir and you've got to hum along right now. You don't know the song, so just kind of hum,' " Tukuafu offered.
But then Tukuafu's less-traveled path to this latest audition with an NFL team has been accompanied by the beat of a different drummer.
The next-to-youngest in a family of 16 kids, he has 10 brothers and five sisters. Which prompts the obvious question: How did he get enough to eat to grow into his now imposing body?
"We had a good rotation going in the house," Tukuafu said with a smile. "While some of the older siblings were moving out, the younger ones were coming in."
The smile became a laugh as he added, "That, and a lot of Top Ramen noodles."
He's also 26, because he took a year off after high school to save money for his LDS mission and then spent two more years in Jamaica on that mission "preaching the gospel," as he put it.
Once he returned, Tukuafu discovered he was a quarter of a science credit short of graduating from East High School in Salt Lake City, which scuttled his plan to attend BYU. Instead, he went to Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College for a year to play football and then Mesa (Ariz.) CC to complete his associate degree – and not play football.
That led him to Oregon, where he started 37 of 39 games in three seasons for the Ducks. In 2007, when he started 11 games, Tukuafu was voted the Casanova Award as the top newcomer in the program. He started 13 games in 2008 and also last season, when he was voted his team's most inspirational player and outstanding defensive lineman, as well as earning second team All-Pac-10 honors.
But Tukuafu realizes that while all that might get him a foot in the door, he won't earn him a roster spot.
"That's all you can ask for is an opportunity," he said. "Nothing is guaranteed at this level. You've just got to come to work every day. I understand that. You can be gone as soon as they brought you in, so you never want to feel comfortable being here. Not so comfortable where you're not working hard. You've got to know that you've got to earn it every day.
"But I'm excited to be here."

Attitude to lingerie
When designing I am constantly thinking about our 'target customer'. What is the age range? Does the customer want a garment that blends in with the rest of High street fashion or would a unique style of bra be more suited? What is the price women are willing to spend on the perfect bra?
After voicing my dilemmas with Seema, Manager of Customer services she brought up a very valid point of its not about your age, its all about your attitude.
We know that we have women 60+ wearing Curvy Kate, and I'm sure there are some teenagers who also own a set, so why try and limit ourselves to one particular age range?
Yes we still want to be a brand that creates fun, flirty, colourful and different lingerie, which primarily is more desirable to the younger generations, however lets not stop women of all ages enjoying what they wear underneath their clothes. Everyone has the right to feel confident in themselves.
Emily x
Voice your opinion..
Leaving comments here on the blog is the best way to have your say, we love hearing back from customers with their positive comments, even if you are not fully happy with the product please tell us as here as Curvy Kate we strive to be that little bit better than before.
Seasons greetings
It is almost the season to be jolly.. so what are you buying in the shops? Will you be including lingerie on your wish lists?
Do you buy lingerie for yourself your do loved ones buy it for you?
Are you a curvy woman who finds buying swimwear an unpleasant experience? Cannot find the right support, style shape or colour?
Tell us what is missing from your lingerie drawer!
Look through the keyhole..
It only seems like a few weeks has passed since I started my year with Curvy Kate but almost 3 months has gone by.
The fast pace which companies work at isn't too different to university where us lingerie students juggle 3 different modules at the same time, so I feel like I'm settling in really well and more importantly enjoying myself.
My god I am glad I decided to take time out of studies to learn more about the industry, by the sounds of it my ex-course mates from Contour Fashion are really being worked hard! I almost feel guilty sitting back from it all and getting advice on what I should (and shouldn't do) when I go back to De Montfort!
Back to Curvy Kate, I have been doing a lot more within the company than I anticipated. From designing bra new styles of bra to helping with customer services, creating trend mood boards for upcoming seasons and looking technically at bras to ensure the perfect fit. Hopefully in the future seasons we will be using a wider range of fabrics and shapes!
Through the keyhole.. just for blog readers only.. a preview of details for Autumn/ winter 2011!
… Keep an eye out on our blog for any more exciting sneak previews!
In my previous post I explained how I wanted to get my teeth stuck into designing some swimwear for Curvy Kate, but as time has gone on I am finding this a lot harder than I thought. Surprisingly there are quite a few brands already creating swimwear, all with their own good and bad points, which is making designing difficult as every brand should have their own unique product.
I am a busy girl so I must go back to work,
Will keep everyone posted on my goings on at CK
Emily x
p.s – Just a quick note to my collegues.. STOP BRINGING IN SUCH YUMMY CAKES AND TREATS! Not only will I will have the experience at Curvy Kate.. I will definatly become more of a curvy kate then when I started..
Not such an innocent bunch..
Thank you to the Innocent veg pots company for sending us enough lunches for the whole team! We had a quiet lunch hour in the office today as people tucked into their delicious ( and healthy!) tubs.
nom nom nom…
For the girl that loves her curves..
We would like to wish the best of luck for brand new internet based company 'Desina' launching on the 15th November by Sophie Adesina.
It was inspired out of frustration and a desire to create a company that would provide excellent products but most importantly make the shopping experience fun for real women! Desina will provide beautiful and luxurious lingerie and swimwear to women and provide the variety that all women deserve.
Sophie explained her thoughts behind the compnay:
'In developing the concept for Desina, I found there was a vast selection of bras out there for larger cup sizes. I discovered a few companies that I wanted to work with. One company that has really impressed me was Curvy Kate. They seemed to have the same ideas for colourful, fun and sexy bras. When I met Curvy Kate at a trade show I really liked the enthusiasm that they showed for their product and I loved the excellent variety of styles they displayed.'
With the addition of a breast awareness page which will teach any women what to look out for, this site really is another step in the right direction in helping women of all sizes to feel comfortable and confident in themselves.

SOUTHPORT -- Every year fifth graders at Southport Christian School raise money for a class trip to Williamsburg. This year their hard work may not pay off.
Nearly $10,000 in cash and merchandise is gone, taken from these fifth graders who worked all year to save up for their class trip.
Fifth-grader Georgianna Watson said, "Who would steal something from kids? I mean, really?"
Fifth-grader Hannah Jones said, "It took them a really long time to raise the money and we got it so fast and to be taken away like that is just, you know…"
The kids spent all year raising money and anticipating the fun they'll have at Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.
Parent and teacher Cindy Aldridge said, "It wasn't even the school's money, it was the children's money. That they worked for, and it was unbelievable to me that someone could do something like that."
School Principal Lisa Kjome says she thinks the theft happened Sunday night...
She suspects someone snuck in through this window, into the office where the money was locked away...
Before the robbery this safe held gold graduation necklaces, tickets to Busch Gardens and $4,000 cash. Now, that's all gone."
Georgianna said, "We worked really hard for that money. We did dinners, we did Christmas cottages and most of it gone, that's devastating."
Kjome says the school and the students are determined to take their trip. The students have been fundraising to make up for the setback.
Kjome said, "You know, we're a small school, it's not like we have a big savings fund or anything."
School administrators didn't realize they'd been robbed until Wednesday. Kjome filed a report with Brunswick County sheriff's detectives, who are now investigating the case.
If you have any information that could help call the sheriff's office at 253- 2777.

Anya Shrubsole once again led England's attack marvellously as rivals Australia were all out for 147 in their World Cup Super-Sixes clash.
Shrubsole claimed career-best one-day international figures of four for 21 against West Indies in England's last group game and followed that up with three top-order scalps as Australia slumped to 32 for five in Mumbai.
A sixth-wicket partnership of 82 between Lisa Sthalekar (41) and Sarah Coyte (44) boosted Australia's total, but Arran Brindle and Holly Colvin took two wickets apiece to help see off the lower order.
After bowling out the Windies for a meagre 101, England's bowlers were understandably confident heading into today and they would have been given a further boost when Australia were put into bat on a damp surface.
Shrubsole (three for 24) ensured they made an excellent start, catching Rachael Haynes off her own bowling in the sixth over before uprooting Jess Cameron's middle stump three balls later.
Alex Blackwell was caught behind off Katherine Brunt, with opener Meg Lanning departing in the same fashion to Shrubsole for 17 and by the time captain Jodie Fields had struck to point off Jenny Gunn, Australia were in deep trouble.
However, as against the Windies, England were held up by a stubborn middle-order partnership, with Sthalekar and Coyte rebuilding cautiously.
Brindle's re-introduction to the attack paid dividends as she bowled Sthalekar first ball, while Coyte could not go on to make a bigger score after being caught at mid-on off Colvin.
Australia's lower order subsided - despite some brief resistance led by Julie Hunter (16 not out) - as they were all out in the 45th over.

Sleeve Notes
Liam, who was supposed to write these lines about this album couldn't leave the girls, alone long enough even to be found to do the job. He's out somewhere in the west of Ireland in search of more songs and girls. Tommy Makem was last seen in a yellow convertible with a girl, heading toward Dublin. Tommy told me once that he would never marry. He said, "Why make one woman unhappy when there are thousands I can make happy?" If you'll notice, in the album's first song, Bold O'Donahue, the fellow comes from Keady. Well, that of course is where Tommy Makem comes from, and now that Tommy has been home for a few weeks, the reason for the yellow convertible is to make a quick getaway from all the broken hearts in Keady. I'll Tell My Ma is a children's love song, but you know as well as I that it applies to all ages; The Boys Won't Leave the Girls Alone, the album's title, comes from this lovely Belfast street song.
Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go? has a strange, appealing feel about it, and right in the middle has a strange, appealing twist to it. After telling about all the loving things he would do for his girl, the boy has a very practical attitude in case he loses her: "If my true love she is gone, I will surely find another."
As I write, we are in Ireland and preparing for our trip to the Edinburgh Festival where we shall shortly be performing. I hope our stay in Scotland doesn't end up with a misadventure in Rothsea. When you hear Rothsea-O, you'll understand why. This is a good example of what can happen when the boys do leave the girls alone.
Marie's Wedding has a lilting swing that makes you feel like marching along with it. A sheelan (mentioned in the song) is a group of huts which herdsmen and their families occupy during summer grazing. "Step it gaily, on we go" really expresses the essence of the song, typical of many Scottish walking songs.
Singin' Bird is a love song, except that it's about a bird. Some men love a dog, a horse, a car, a boat, a country, a woman, a mountain, a pub or an idea, so it's not so strange, really, that a man can sing about the love of a singing bird, If you want to substitute the bird for any or all of the above, you're welcome; but the song is, in itself, a beautiful thing. It's something of a surprise to hear a sailor's song called Holy Ground. Now, I don't know exactly what the Holy Ground was, but I've been told it was a "place" in Cork City where the sailors went when they came ashore. Keep that in mind and the song makes a lot of sense.
The first song on the second side is called South Australia. The sailors who made up the work songs or sea chanteys didn't always come from the places they sang about. There's one thing sure: if there wasn't a girl called "Nancy Blair," there should have been.
As I Roved Out is a lovely beginning to any song. It's even lovelier if it's followed by the words "on a May morning, on a May morning right early." As with so many love songs (the old, good ones) you have to follow them closely to get the full measure.
The next number is a real gem. It's a Scottish song about a man who loved his fiddle until his dying day. He says, "There's some come here for to see me hung and some to buy my fiddle. But before that I do part with her I'll break her through the middle!"
I don't know if the next song has anything to do with love, but it certainly has to do with adventure. Ever since I can remember, The Wild Colonial Boy has had an adventurous appeal for me. The idea that the boy left for Australia at the age of sixteen always fascinated me.
The fine balladeer Ewan MacColl is also a splendid songwriter. He wrote the next number, Shoals of Herring for a BBC programme on fishing and fishermen. I've never been a fisherman, but this song gives me the feeling of what it must be like out there on the deep.
"I Know Who Is Sick, I know who is sorry. I know who I'll kiss, but the Lord knows who I'll marry . . ." My father used to sing this one around the house even though there were nine of us and, of course, my mother. There were days when a bit of wishful thinking might have been involved.
And the last but (as they say) by no means the least, is about an Old Woman From Wexford who loves her husband dearly but another man twice as well. She goes to rather extraordinary lengths to sort out the problem. I think it's nice though that the old man has the last word.
