I am serious and don't call me Sherrill.
The Phillies came out on top of game one of the NLCS last night. It was a game filled with huge moments and big swings, but none bigger than the three-run homer Raul Ibanez hit off of George Sherrill in the top of the eighth inning. Sherrill came into the game having not allowed a home run to a left-handed batter all season long.
James Loney put the Dodgers up 1-0 when he lined a solo shot out to right off of Hamels in the second. Clayton Kershaw, LA's 21-year-old starter, was in complete control until the bottom of the fifth when he most clearly was not. Kershaw started the frame with a shutout, but only got two outs in the inning, uncorked three wild pitches and walked two including the pitcher on four pitches. With nobody out and two men on, Ruiz blasted a three-run homer to left to put the Phillies up 3-1. Five batters later Howard delivered a two-run double that extended the lead to 5-1 before LA got out of the frame. Hamels got into trouble in the bottom of the fifth. He got Ethier to hit a double-play ball that should have ended the inning, but the Phils didn't turn it. A run scored on the play to make it 5-2 and kept the inning alive long enough for Manny Ramirez to hit a two-run homer and cut the lead to 5-4. Sherrill walked the first two in the eighth before Ibanez homered to make it 8-4. Madson was awful in the bottom of the eighth and LA got within two at 8-6, but Lidge kept them off the board in the ninth to get the Phillies the win.
The game featured dramatic matchups between Phillies relievers and big hitters for the Dodgers. The Phils didn't win them all, but they won enough. The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth all included huge situations for Phillies relievers with danger lurking.
With the Phils up 5-4 in the sixth, Happ got Furcal to ground to second on a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded to end the inning
Chan Ho Park pitched in a game for the first time since September 16 in the seventh with the Phils still up by one. After Bastardo allowed a leadoff double, Park came in and sat down Manny, Matt Kemp and Casey Blake in order to leave the runner stranded. He looked real, real good doing it, too. They told us he was a hundred percent. They didn't say a hundred percent of what, though.
Madson got blasted in the eighth. But it ended with him facing Ramirez with two outs, men on first and third and the Phils up 8-6. He got Manny to ground to third.
Lidge pitched the ninth with a two-run lead and gave up a leadoff single. Most of the drama in that inning came on the second batter, when Casey Blake smashed a ball, but right at Utley and into a double-play.
The Phillies lead the best-of-seven NLCS with the Los Angeles Dodgers after winning game one 8-6 last night.
Cole Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and two home runs. He struck out four. His line would have looked a lot better if the Phillies had turned an inning-ending double-play in the fifth. When Ramirez followed the non-double-play with a two-run homer it wound up costing the Phillies three runs.
Hamels faced a lineup that went (1) Furcal (SS/S) (2) Ethier (RF/L) (3)Ramirez (LF/R) (4) Kemp (CF/R) (5) Blake (3B/R) (6) Loney (1B/L) (7) Belliard (2B/R) (8) Martin (C/R). That's pretty different than the lineup I expect we'll see against a righty in the series, which I guess will likely go (1) Furcal (2) Kemp (3) Ethier (4) Ramirez (5) Loney (6) Blake (7) Belliard (8) Martin. Furcal is always at the top, I expect, and Belliard and Martin at the bottom, but two through six changes up a lot. Ethier hitting second doesn't make a lot of sense to me against a lefty, but he sure fared well last night. The 3-4-5 of Ramirez, Kemp and Blake all bash lefties.
The Dodgers had six players on the bench to start the game, lefties Jim Thome and Juan Pierre, righties Mark Loretta, Juan Castro and Brad Ausmus and switch-hitter Orlando Hudson.
Furcal led off the first and flew to left on an 0-1 pitch for the first out. Ethier was next and he singled to left. Manny followed and he had a long at-bat, but struck out swinging 1-2 for the second out after fouling off five pitches. Kemp singled into left 1-0, moving Ethier to second, but Hamels got Blake to pop to Utley to end the inning.
Nineteen pitching the first for Hamels, fifteen of which were strikes.
Loney led off the second and lined a 2-1 pitch out to right. 1-0. Hamels got Belliard on a line drive that Victorino took in front of the warning track for the first out and Martin on a ground ball to third for the second. The pitcher Clayton Kershaw was next, but Hamels walked him on a high 3-1 pitch. Hamels didn't like the call as the count went 3-1, but the ball looked clearly low. Furcal was next and hit a dribbler up the first base line. Ruiz made a nice play, pouncing on it and throwing Furcal out to set the Dodgers down.
Hamels had thrown 37 pitches.
He started throwing a lot more changeups in the bottom of the third and things went well. Ethier looked awful striking out swinging after getting behind 0-2. Manny popped to Utley for the second out. Kemp dribbled back to the mound for the third.
Hamels had thrown 54 pitches through three innings.
He set 'em down in order again in the fourth. Blake struck out swinging at a high fastball. Loney and Belliard both popped to second.
Seven in a row for Hamels, who had thrown 67 pitches.
He started the fifth with a 5-1 lead and gave up a leadoff double to Martin. Orlando Hudson hit for the pitcher Ramon Troncoso and Hamels struck him out for the first out. Furcal was next and Hamels got ahead of him, too, but Furcal singled to right on an 0-2 pitch, sending Martin to third. Ethier got ahead 3-1 and hit a double-play ball to short. But. Rollins got the ball struck in his glove, then tossed to Utley late and Utley threw with his footing badly messed up and threw the ball into the dugout. Martin scored on the error to make it 5-2 with Ethier going to second. Hamels flailed his arms around dramatically on the mound in the universal gesture for darn-I-wish-that-hadn't-happened. It was a sure sign that Manny Ramirez was about to homer and homer he did, pounding a 2-0 pitch out to left-center. 5-4. Kemp grounded to Utley for the third out.
If the Phillies turn Ethier's double-play ball it's 5-1, inning over. They didn't. Utley never should have thrown the ball, but the fact that he did throw it into the dugout didn't change anything. Rollins being unable to get the ball out of his glove clean doomed the play. Hamels shouldn't be flailing about on the mound. Pretty sure everyone associated with the Phillies knew they would have been better off turning that one and it was unfortunate that they had a lefty against Ramirez with a runner on base now.
Hamels had through 92 pitches through five innings.
He got Blake on a foul ball to Howard for the first out in the bottom of the sixth. Loney followed with an opposite field single to left. Belliard was next and he hit a 2-2 pitch into left for another single, moving Loney to second. That was it for Hamels, who was due to lead off the seventh, and Manuel brought in Durbin to pitch to the righty Martin. Martin smoked the ball to right, but Werth took it for the second out and would have had a chance to double Loney off of second if he made a good throw. His throw wasn't close, but was backed up nicely by Feliz and neither runner could advance. Lefty Jim Thome hit for the pitcher Ronald Belisario and Happ came in to pitch to him. Happ didn't get a close call on a 2-1 pitch and Thome walked to load the bases. Randy Wolf ran for Thome at first. Furcal was next, who really needs a right-hander in a big situation like this if you can, but Manuel left Happ in to pitch to him. Furcal worked the count full and grounded hard but right at Utley to leave the bases loaded.
Huge out for Happ to get Furcal.
Second appearance in the post-season for Durbin. He hasn't allowed a hit or a walk in 1 1/3 innings.
Bastardo started the seventh to try to get Ethier with the Phils up 5-4. Nope. Ethier doubled into right. Chan Ho Park came on to face Ramirez, pitching for the first time since September 16. Ramirez grounded a 1-2 pitch to third for the first out. Ethier held second. Park struck Kemp out swinging 3-2 for the second out. Blake grounded to second to leave Ethier stranded.
Wow. Park looked rather amazing. It was the kind of thing that made you feel like he might be able to contribute. Ethier seems to be doing just fine against the Phillies lefties so far. Huge outs for Park with the Phils up a run and the heart of the order at the plate for LA.
Madson started the top of the eighth for the Phillies with an 8-4 lead. Francisco was in left for the Phils. Loney singled to center and moved to second when Belliard followed with a single to left. Martin was next and he singled to left, scoring Loney just ahead of Francisco's throw to make it 8-5 with men on first and second and nobody out. Juan Pierre hit for the pitcher George Sherrill and dribbled a ball back to the mound. Madson fielded and threw to second to force Martin for the first out with Belliard moving to third. It brought up Furcal and Furcal delivered a fly ball to right for the second out, deep enough to score Belliard and cut the lead to 8-6. Ethier was next with two outs and a man on first and Madson stayed in to pitch to the lefty. The lefty singled to right on a 3-2 pitch, moving Pierre to third. It set up Madson versus Manny Ramirez with two outs and two men on. Manny grounded to second on a 1-2 pitch to leave both men stranded.
Manuel does not bring Eyre in to pitch to Ethier with two outs, presumably because it creates a who-pitches-to-Manny problem if Eyre doesn't get Ethier.
Madson has been absolutely awful twice in a row in two huge situations. Between game four of the NLDS and last night's game he has gone 1 2/3 innings over his last two appearances, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk.
Third time in three innings a Phillies reliever came up big in a pickle to end the inning. Happ got Furcal in the sixth, Park got everyone in the seventh after the leadoff double and Madson finally got Manny to end the eighth.
Lidge started the ninth up 8-6. He got ahead of Kemp 0-2 before Kemp lined a single just over the glove of Rollins and into left. Blake was next and got ahead in the count, but swung at a high 2-1 pitch and fouled it off. He smashed the next pitch, but on one hop to Utley and the Phillies turned two. Enormous play and a little luck for the Phils there, cause that ball was hit hard but right at Utley. Lidge got ahead of Loney 0-2, but Loney came back to work a walk. It brought Belliard to the plate as the tying run. Belliard popped a 1-1 pitch to Rollins in shallow left field to end the game.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Clayton Kershaw went (1) Rollins (SS/S) (2) Victorino (CF/S) (3) Utley (2B/L) (4) Howard (1B/L) (5) Werth (RF/R) (6) Ibanez (LF/L) (7) Feliz (3B/R) (8) Ruiz (C/R). Werth hits fifth, breaking up the lefty string of Utley, Howard and Ibanez.
The Phillies started the game with six players on the bench, lefties Dobbs, Stairs and Bako and righties Francisco, Bruntlett and Cairo.
Rollins led off the first and fouled out to Martin on an 0-1 pitch. Victorino was next and he hit a 1-1 pitch into left for a single. Utley got behind in the count and drove an 0-2 pitch to center field, but Kemp took it on the warning track for the second out. It brought Howard to the plate, but before Kershaw delivered a pitch he picked Victorino off of first. Victorino was tagged out after a short rundown to set the Phillies down.
Kershaw threw a first-pitch strike to all three of Rollins, Victorino and Utley. He had thrown eight pitches through one inning.
Victorino and Martin yelled at each other after the third out. Not sure who started it, but Victorino tried to run into Loney in the rundown like he always does in a rundown, looking for an interference call.
Howard led off the second and got behind 0-2 before hitting a 3-2 pitch well to left, but Ramirez took it on the track. Werth struck out looking 2-2. Ibanez struck out looking 2-2.
Again, all three hitters got behind 0-1. Howard fouled off the first pitch and Werth and Ibanez watched strike one.
Kershaw had thrown 25 pitches.
The Phils started the third down 1-0. Feliz became the first Phillies batter not to get behind 1-0 as he took ball one, but popped to Belliard on a 1-2 pitch for the first out. Ruiz was next and he drew a walk on a 3-1 pitch way outside and Hamels bunted him to second. Rollins grounded a 1-2 pitch to second for the third out.
Forty pitches for Kershaw.
Victorino led off the fourth and popped to Loney 2-2 for the first out. Utley swung at the first pitch and popped to Blake in foul territory. Howard tried to check his swing 2-2 and got the call (he swung) and then walked on a 3-2 pitch that was really a strike. Werth got ahead 2-0 and smashed a ball to left field, but Ramirez took it on the track to set the Phillies down.
Werth's out was the third time the Phillies had really crushed the ball into an out against Kershaw. Utley hit it great in the first and Howard just missed in the second.
Fifty-six for Kershaw through four innings.
He blew up in the fifth. Ibanez led off and singled to left on a 1-1 pitch. Ibanez went to second on wild pitch before Feliz walked. Ruiz took two balls out of the strike zone and then flailed at a high 2-0 pitch. Phillies fans everywhere screamed curses at their televisions, but not for long. The 2-1 pitch was in nearly the same place, but Ruiz hit that one way out to left to put the Phillies up 3-1. Hamels was next and he walked on four pitches. Kershaw did everything in his power to walk Rollins, too, but Jimmy was having none of it. He swung at a 3-1 pitch and hit a ground ball to third. Hamels was forced at second for the first out of the inning. Victorino was next and he struck out swinging at an 0-2 pitch that was wild for the second out, but Rollins took second on the wild pitch. Utley walked on a 3-2 pitch, putting men on first and second for Howard. Howard blasted a double to right, clearing the bases and putting the Phils up 5-1. That was finally it for Kershaw. Righty Ramon Troncoso came in and got Werth to fly to left for the third out.
Nice walk by Feliz early in the inning. Huge hits for Ruiz and Howard. Good no swing by Hamels. Rollins swinging 3-1 with Kershaw nowhere near the strike zone was not the way to go.
Three wild pitches in the inning for Kershaw. The Dodgers sure did stay with him a long time. I was pretty sure walking Hamels on four pitches was a sign of bad things to come for him. He was due to hit second in the bottom of the inning.
The Phillies lead had been cut to 5-4 by the time they came to bat in the top of the sixth and face righty Ronald Belisario. Belisario set the Phillies down in order, getting Ibanez on a ground ball to short and Feliz and Ruiz on ground balls to second.
Unhittable lefty Hong-Chih Kuo started the seventh for LA. Cairo hit for Happ to start the inning and struck out. Rollins got ahead 3-1 and singled into center, but Victorino followed with a ground ball to third. The Dodgers could only get one, forcing Rollins at second for the second out and bringing Utley to the plate with two outs and a man on first. Utley struck out swinging 2-2 for the third out.
Lefty George Sherrill started the eighth with the Phils still up 5-4 and walked Howard. He walked Werth, too, putting two men on for Ibanez. Ibanez was swinging first pitch and popped one just out to right for a three-run homer. 8-4. Feliz flew to right for the first out before Ruiz snuck a single through to left. Francisco hit for Park and hit a fly ball to center. Ruiz thought it was going to drop, but it was a long way from being something that might drop. Kemp took it for the second out and Ruiz was doubled-off of first on a close play to end the frame.
Not good base-running by Ruiz.
Lefties hit 128/188/154 against Sherrill this season. He faced two Phillies lefties in the inning. Howard walked and Ibanez hit a three-run homer. Left-handed hitters were 10-for-78 against him with two doubles for the year.
Righty Jonathan Broxton was on for LA in the ninth with the Phils up 8-6. Rollins flew to left for the first out, but Victorino followed with a single. Utley flew to left before Howard went down swinging to end the frame.
Rollins was 1-for-5 in the game. Grounding out 3-1 when Kershaw couldn't throw a strike and had just walked Hamels on four pitches was the worst at-bat of the game.
Victorino was 2-for-5 and was picked off of first in the first.
Utley was 0-for-4 with a walk.
Howard 1-for-3 with a big two-run double and two walks.
Ibanez was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Ibanez now has eight RBI in five post-season games with the Phillies.
Werth was 0-for-3 with a walk. Didn't do much against the lefty starter, but he almost did, just missing a two-run homer in the fourth.
Feliz was 0-for-3 with a walk. I sure feel better about the seven and eight spots in the order against a lefty, but Feliz hit a miserable 208/278/385 against lefties this year so I should probably try to calm down a little.
Ruiz, on the other hand, had a monster game. 2-for-3 with a three-run homer. He hit 293/370/524 against left-handed pitching this season.
Francisco and Cairo both had pinch-hit at-bats in the game and went 0-for-1. Francisco seems like he could be the critical bench player for the Phils in the series against Kuo and Sherrill. The other two right-handed options for the Phils off the bench, Cairo and Bruntlett, are not big offensive threats.
Pedro Martinez faces righty Vicente Padilla today in game two.
Padilla pitched for both the Rangers and the Dodgers this season. He made 18 starts for Texas to start the season, going 8-6 with a 4.92 ERA and a 1.50 ratio. The Rangers released him in mid-August and he was signed by the Dodgers. He made eight appearances for LA, seven on them starts, and threw to a 3.20 ERA and a 1.22 ratio.
He was much better against righties than lefties on the season. Righties hit just 246/301/363 against him for the year, lefties 303/384/453.
Padilla pitched for the Phils between 2000 and 2005. His best year was 2002 when he went 14-11 with a 3.28 ERA and a 1.22 ratio.
He started game three of the NLDS against the Cards and was fantastic. He allowed four hits and a walk over seven shutout innings as the Dodgers won 5-1. It was the only playoff appearance of his career.
Raul Ibanez saw him a ton in the AL. 9-for-28 with two home runs (321/394/536). Feliz is the only other Phillies regular with more than five career at-bats against him. He's 2-for-9 with two singles.
The 37-year-old Martinez made nine starts for the Phillies this season, pitching to a 3.63 ERA and a 1.25 ratio over 44 2/3 innings. He gave up seven home runs — that rate would have him giving up about 31 over 200 innings. Opponents slugged .472 against Pedro for the season.
He didn't walk much of anyone. His walk rate of 1.61 batters per nine innings was the best of any Phillies pitcher other than Lee.
He has a ton of post-season experience. He has appeared in thirteen post-season games and started eleven, overall throwing to a 3.40 ERA with a 1.12 ratio over 79 1/3 innings. He last appeared in the post-season in 2004.
Pedro started his career with the Dodgers, pitching for them in 1992 and '93 before they traded him to the Expos for Delino DeShields in November of 1993.
Belliard, Kemp, Blake, Martin, Loney and Ethier all have five or fewer career at-bats against Martinez. Furcal 6-for-25 with two doubles (240/240/320). Manny 5-for-30 with two doubles (167/194/233). Orlando Hudson 7-for-25 with three extra-base hits, a double, a triple and a home run (280/308/520).
This helps explain why Bruntlett was added to the roster for the NLCS. Apparently Dobbs' problems in playing defense coming off his calf injury were a primary factor. Still a lot of Carios and Bruntletts to have on the roster and I think it speaks to the lack of organizational depth hitting right-handed.

Airline's Bad 'Tude Toward VLJs More About Money Than Generation Gap
By Elliot Borin, Air TaxiFlights.com
Happy landings? Depends on whether you consider landing an hour or two late a cheerful experience.
According to the FAA, domestic airline flights will increase by approximately 30 percent in the next decade, passenger travel between the U.S. and the rest of the world will jump by around 70 percent and overall world-wide commercial air travel will soar by more than 80 percent.
Sounds like good news for members of the battered and/or bankrupt airline industry, right?
Not to hear them tell it. According to their exceedingly well-financed and politically astute (or, as opponents put it, over-funded and politically ham-fisted) ministry of propaganda, the Air Transport Association, chaos, not prosperity, is really what's lurking just around the corner.
Among other claims made in testimony before Congress, press releases, "talking-head" TV appearances and other forums, the ATA predicts that air traffic delays will increase close to 65 percent and passenger delays could double during the same decade.
Even more horrifying, the airline industry claimed before a Senate committee, "these projected delays will cost the airlines at least $2 billion in extra costs that will seriously erode profits needed for future fleet and infrastructure expansions."
If that seems to say that the more business the airlines get the more money they plan to lose, don't feel that you're missing anything. That's exactly what it seems to tell most people with a third grade or higher level of English comprehension.
Like all good spinmiesters, the ATA has an "enemies list" of favorite scapegoats for their various ills. The FAA and its failure to immediately spend tens of billions of dollars to tear down the current air traffic control system and rebuild it to the major airlines specs has been, until recently, the prime whipping boy. But that argument has been weakened by the current system's unparalleled safety record and the fact that many major passenger delays occur on the ground thanks to airline corner cutting. (Example: Sitting on the plane at a gate for 20 minutes because the ground crew responsible for opening the door has to service six or eight gates with virtually identical arrival times.)
More recently, the airline industry has embraced Very Light Jets as a perfect straw man upon which to hang their forecasts of doom and gloom. While the ATA is not exactly, precisely, running around like a headless chicken screaming (through its neck hole) "VLJs are coming, the sky and everything in it is falling," it has waxed positively lyrical on the subject, telling Congress that allowing VLJs to use high-altitude airspace "is analogous to allowing tractors on a freeway."
Perhaps. And perhaps if a freeway had ten levels of hundred-mile-wide lanes stacked 1000 feet apart letting a tractor use it wouldn't be a problem.
Or, perhaps, the ATA's real problem with VLJs has less to do with tractors, than with this: "Using VLJs, air taxi operators could open access to new business centers that previously were beyond the reach of available aircraft," the ATA says. "This new access could generate new markets and opportunities resulting in further economic benefit."
But not to the ATA's member companies, not to the scheduled airlines. If there is one industry that would definitely not derive an "economic benefit" from VLJ air-taxi operators' ability to convert the vast majority of America's over 4,000 airports without commercial service into "new markets" it is the scheduled airline industry. To the contrary, any form of transportation -- be it Very Light Jet or European-type high-speed rail -- which allows travelers to eschew the airlines' hubs, spokes and inefficient-operating procedures will cost the airlines both customers and money.
No wonder they're "agin" it.
The ATA's complaints about VLJs can be loosely divided into three categories:
1. Traffic congestion
The ATA claims that the estimated 4,000 VLJ aircraft the FAA expects to enter service by 2015 will cause traffic congestion so severe that "it isn't hard It isn't hard to imagine a system where access to airspace is rationed. That is precisely what exists today at New York's LaGuardia and Chicago's O'Hare airports. Congested airspace above New York and South Florida threatens to force further restrictions." Never mind that VLJ air-taxis won't be using LaGuardia and O'Hare, they're still -- according to the ATA -- going to raise hell there. And about Florida. Since DayJet, the very first air-taxi operator to begin service, and several feisty competitors operate in Florida, it is just possibly no coincidence that the ATA selected that region for special application of the tar brush.
Laying it on even more thickly, the ATA tells us "it is critical to note that capacity limitations are not necessarily tied to a lack of runway or terminal capacity. More and more, airport accessibility is driven by the ability of the airspace above to accommodate the traffic. For example, VLJs attempting to access Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport may be blocked by saturated airways even though the airport itself could handle the traffic."
Once again, perhaps. Or, more likely, perhaps not.
According to the FAA, total active aircraft in the United States include approximately 221,000 airplanes in general aviation and air taxi service and 7000 in airline service. Doing the math, we discover that adding 4,000 VLJs to the friendly skies over the U.S. will increase the total number of aircraft fighting for air and landing space by something like 1.5 percent. Even using NASA's more optimistic (or pessimistic if you're an ATA member) guesstimate of 8,000 VLJs entering service in the next ten years, you still wind up with only a 3 percent increase.
But wait, there's more. Or, in this case, less. Much less. To understand this, it's only necessary to consider where today and tomorrow's VLJs will be delivered.
The great majority of single-engine models from companies like Cirrus and Diamond will be going to general aviation and small corporate buyers where they will be replacing existing piston-engined aircraft.
Some economy model twin-engine VLJs like the Eclipse 500 are being purchased by air-taxi startups like DayJet, but an equally large number will probably be used to decommission less comfortable and more inefficient piston-engined air taxis by operators like Linear.
A great many higher-end ($3 million and up) HondaJet and Embraer Phenoms will be purchased by corporations willing to pay a slight speed penalty to retire their low-end light jets in favor of far more economical VLJs.
To put it simply, every new VLJ that rolls out of a factory in Albuquerque, North Carolina, Wichita or Brazil is not going to equal one more aircraft clogging up the airways. The actual ratio, taking into account the replacement factor, will probably be closer to three new VLJs equaling one more plane aloft.
2. Air Traffic System Overload
" Historically, the cruise performance capabilities of the aircraft operated by the various segments of the aviation community naturally segregated them into distinct operating environments," the ATA says. "Larger, faster aircraft (like business jets and commercial airliners) typically cruise above 28,000 feet, while piston-driven recreational and on-demand charter aircraft primarily operate at lower altitudes. VLJ performance will blur the lines between the blocks of airspace conventionally used by the different types of operators. VLJ operators will be able to climb to and cruise at altitudes that previously were inaccessible due to the performance limitations of their previous aircraft."
No argument there, VLJs will fly higher and faster than the Beech Bonanza-type aircraft many of them will be replacing. The significance of this obvious fact is open to debate, however.
To the ATA, it means that air traffic control will become "more challenging" resulting in an "increase (in) spacing to manage the difference in aircraft speeds and reduce (controller) workload ... wasted capacity and ultimately constraints on demand."
But will it really?
VLJs are economical, but not that economical. No transportation model that that isn't muscle powered is that economical in an "oil-rules" society. Corporations are not going to schedule unneeded flights from Plant A to Plant B just because they've replaced their Lear 40 with a HondaJet. Gen aviation pilots won't fly from Nantucket to Dobb's Ferry to visit Aunt Ellen every week instead of twice a year after they take the delivery on a Diamond Jet and donate the old Cessna 150 for static display at a local pre-school.
While the fact that VLJs are faster than piston-engined planes won't make life any easier for controllers, the fact that they will (in general aviation and air-taxi service, at least) get from Point A to Point B while spending less time aloft will.
The ATA also ignores the state-of-the-art avionics, navigation and communications systems which combine to make VLJs easier to track and control than their less high-tech-evolved predecessors.
3. Money
"Unfortunately," the ATA contends, "the revenue collected by FAA will not cover their costs to provide ATC services to VLJ operators and will fall far short of the amount needed to finance NAS (National Airspace System) modernization. FAA will be faced with significantly increasing demand for services without a corresponding increase in revenue."
So what else is new? The airline industry has been complaining about General Aviation not carrying its share of the load for decades. As already noted, the VLJ will not substantially increase the demand for FAA services, thus nothing in this argument changes.
Nor is it true, as the ATA would like the public to believe, that the airline industry pays more than its fair share of the system.
Using figures given Congress by the ATA itself, we discover that "a typical 737 commercial airliner flying from New York to Fort Lauderdale pays $1,506" toward funding the FAA, while an Eclipse 500 corporate VLJ on an identical route using the same ATC services pays only $53."
Sounds grossly unfair, doesn't it? Except that a "typical 737" carries 150 people (passengers plus crew) and a typical Eclipse carries five. Thus each person going from New York to Lauderdale is contributing roughly $5 to the FAA regardless of which way they fly. What could be fairer or more equitable than that?
Truth is, the airline industry, the air-taxi industry and the general aviation industry -- alone, combined or trebled -- cannot afford to pay for a total upgrade of the nation's air transport infrastructure. That's the kind of essential service that income, capital gains, inheritance and other federal taxes were invented to finance.
Contrary to the airline industry's doomsayers, many impartial researchers believe a robust VLJ-powered air-taxi industry would provide an excellent way to take at least a little pressure off the existing ATC system while debate over how to fund the next-gen system continues.
A NASA-financed study by Purdue University, for example, recently found that nationwide deployment of VLJ air taxis could "offload demand from the business hubs" thereby reducing demand for services and congestion at major commercial airports."
And a research paper by Aviation Consultant Captain J. L. Robinson and Boeing Vice President of Advanced Air Traffic Management Strategy Neil Panzer is even more damning to many of the ATA's arguments.
"In the ongoing debate about the impact of VLJ operations, the question of VLJ speed compatibility has been raised often," Robinson and Panzer wrote. "In large measure, this is a red herring. The commercial and business fleets of today operate at a variety of climb, cruise, descent and approach speeds ... controllers are able to integrate traffic of varying speeds quite efficiently so VLJs will add no significant complexity."
Robinson and Panzer's study also found that there is "ample available en route airspace to accommodate new aircraft" using today's ATC technology and that the "suggestion that VLJs will cause or exacerbate en route traffic congestion is certainly not the case in the near to mid-term."
After noting that the" typical" VLJ's safety and equipage package "will distinguish itself as better equipped that many of the aircraft in today's commercial fleet" (an interesting observation from a vice president of the company which made most of today's commercial fleet), the authors conclude that even if, for some reason nobody can foresee, VLJ operators decide to operate into hub airports the "effects will be minimal.
"Will those operations disrupt or induce gridlock?" they ask. "Absolutely not!"
In a recent plea to Congress, the ATA urged that a "sensible policy on VLJs would be to 'first do no harm' against the small jet sector," which is memorial for being the only time the airline industry has ever begged federal regulators to bestow blessings on the Lears and Gulfstreams of the world.
In addition to containing a full measure of hypocrisy, the ATA's suggestion that VLJ development be hamstrung to save the light jet industry brings to mind a movie studio executive going to Congress in 1948 to urge that television be outlawed to protect theater owner's investments in projectors.
Or, perhaps more accurately, it reflects the sentiments of Digital Equipment Corporation Founder Ken Olson's 1977 statement that "there is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."

Centralized email encryption with Anubis
The Anubis mail manipulation daemon lets you centralize encryption for outgoing mail.
Experts acknowledge the danger of transmitting plans, personal data, and confidential agreements in clear text across the Internet, but end users rarely heed their warnings. Users typically don't turn to tools such as PGP, GnuPG [2], and S/ Mime by choice. CTOs can either bemoan their fate or take proactive steps: so-called PGP servers provide centralized user key management and handle the encryption and decryption processes. These services remove the need for time-consuming installation and configuration of a PGP client on every user workstation. Linux admins have a choice of free encryption programs such as GPG-Relay [3] or Kuvert [4], and there are a number of commercial applications (such as [5] and [6]), some of which are also available for Windows. But if you prefer to avoid specialized applications, your best option may be the universal mail manipulation program, GNU Anubis [1].

Interfaith Medical Center in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn has now become the second hospital in the borough in recent months to announce that it is closing. The hospital started notifying employees on Tuesday.
It looks like more than 1,500 employees at Interfaith will be out of a job in November, and 175,000 Bed-Stuy residents will lose their neighborhood hospital.
The hospital has been financially strapped for quite some time and attempted to reorganize but on Tuesday filed in bankruptcy court asking permission to shut down.
The closest hospital in this predominantly minority community is about two and a half miles away.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who is running for mayor, said he will help fight in court to try and keep Interfaith open. He and other mayoral candidates fought to keep Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, open. However, after 155 years, that facility is closing. Interfaith may suffer the same fate
The bankruptcy court hearing for Interfaith is August 15.

A personal blood-testing laboratory under your skin
EPFL scientists have developed a tiny, portable personal blood testing laboratory: a minuscule device implanted just under the skin provides an immediate analysis of substances in the body, and a radio module transmits the results to a doctor over the cellular phone network. This feat of miniaturization has many potential applications, including monitoring patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Humans are veritable chemical factories - we manufacture thousands of substances and transport them, via our blood, throughout our bodies. Some of these substances can be used as indicators of our health status. A team of EPFL scientists has developed a tiny device that can analyze the concentration of these substances in the blood. Implanted just beneath the skin, it can detect up to five proteins and organic acids simultaneously, and then transmit the results directly to a doctor's computer. This method will allow a much more personalized level of care than traditional blood tests can provide. Health care providers will be better able to monitor patients, particularly those with chronic illness or those undergoing chemotherapy. The prototype, still in the experimental stages, has demonstrated that it can reliably detect several commonly traced substances.

Who won the congressional races in Arizona? Here are the updated results.
Congressional District 1 [updated]
Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick has defeated Paton in race for Arizona's 1st Congressional District seat.
The race was considered a tossup and featured millions of dollars in ad spending.
The state's largest district runs from Flagstaff through eastern Arizona counties and then west into parts of Pinal County and includes the Navajo Nation where Kirkpatrick has strong support.
The district has more Democrats than Republicans but nearly a third of registered voters are independents.
Congressional District 2 [updated]
Democrat Ron Barber and Republican Martha McSally are in a deadlock, each with 50 percent of the vote with all precincts reporting. McSally leads by a little more than 1,000 votes.
Voters picked Barber to replace former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a special election in June. He's her former district director and has touted his lengthy history in the district, his moderate views and his strong backing for veterans and border security.
McSally is a former Air Force pilot making her first run for political office. She wants to cut government regulation, repeal the new health care law and work to balance the federal budget.
The district covers parts of Tucson and Pima County and all of Cochise County.
Congressional District 3 [updated]
Democratic congressman Raul Grijalva has won a 6th term in office after turning back a challenge from Republican Gabriela Saucedo Mercer in Tuesday's 3rd Congressional District election.
The race was considered an easy one for Grijalva because the district is majority Democratic. But political novice Saucedo Mercer still made a challenge and spent more than $200,000 in an effort to win the seat.
Grijalva's double-digit lead late Tuesday was wide enough for The Associated Press to declare him the victor.
The sprawling district borders Mexico in southwestern Arizona and includes the western half of Tucson, parts of Yuma and portions of several western suburbs of Phoenix.
Grijalva has served in Congress since winning office in 2002.
Congressional District 4 [updated]
Freshman congressman Paul Gosar was elected to Arizona's 4th Congressional District seat after taking out two primary challengers in August.
Tuesday's election in the heavily Republican district was considered a lock for Gosar, who switched to the district from the 1st District after redistricting carved out many Republican voters. He beat state Sen. Ron Gould and radio station owner Rick Murphy in the GOP primary.
Gosar was challenged by Democrat Johnnie Robinson and two lesser party candidates.
The heavily Republican district runs from western Arizona through Prescott and south of Phoenix.
Congressional District 5 [updated]
Former Rep. Matt Salmon coasted to a victory in Tuesday's 5th Congressional District election.
The Republican faced Democrat Spencer Morgan to represent Mesa and other east Phoenix suburban areas. Republicans outnumber Democrats almost 2-to-1 in the district.
Morgan is from Gilbert and has reported raising no money in the race.
Salmon won the GOP primary election in August by defeating former Arizona House Speaker Kirk Adams. He represented an earlier version of the district for three terms in the 1990s.
Salmon ended his tenure in Congress to follow a pledge that he would serve only three terms and went on to an unsuccessful run for governor in 2002. He has worked as a lobbyist in recent years.
Congressional District 6 [updated]
U.S. Rep. David Schweikert won a heavily Republican district that includes Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and parts of Phoenix.
Schweikert defeated fellow Republican Ben Quayle in August in a bruising party primary election that was triggered by redistricting.
The two were elected to adjacent districts in 2010. But Quayle -- the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle -- decided to run in the nearby 6th Congressional District after redistricting made his district more competitive.
Schweikert beat third-party candidates and Democrat Matt Jette. Jette recently said he's re-registered as an independent. Elections officials, however, say the ballot will still carry the D-tag for Jette.
Congressional District 7 [updated]
Longtime Democratic Rep. Ed Pastor was reelected in his heavily Democratic south Phoenix district on Tuesday.
Pastor had no Republican challenger in the 7th District after the GOP's write-in candidate failed to get enough votes to appear on the ballot. He faced Libertarian Joe Cobb, who has little name recognition or campaign cash.
In August, Pastor easily bested challenger Rebecca Witt in the Democratic party primary.
The 69-year-old Pastor has been in Congress since winning a special election in 1991.
Congressional District 8 [updated]
Republican Rep. Trent Franks defeated two candidates in a heavily GOP district that covers the northern and western Phoenix suburbs.
The 55-year-old Franks sought a sixth term and bested Democrat Gene Scharer and Stephen Dolgos, who ran on the Americans Elect ticket.
Franks' old district covered the entire northwestern corner of the state. But with redistricting, the district only covers parts of metropolitan Phoenix. The new 8th Congressional District remains solidly Republican.
Franks won the GOP nomination in August by a large margin, easily beating a Glendale businessman and a write-in candidate.
Congressional District 9 [updated]
Former state Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is still in a dead heat with ex-Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker for Arizona's 9th Congressional District. She has a 1 percent lead with all precincts reporting.
The race represents much of Tempe and parts of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Mesa and Chandler featured two months of vicious campaign ads.
Parker weathered Democratic criticism that he's a tea party radical who will hurt children by cutting the federal education department. Sinema was called a radical too liberal for the newly created district who doesn't understand stay-at-home moms.
Republicans had a slight registration advantage but both parties' totals are exceeded by independents.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Developing Vision For New Northwest Oklahoma City Library
The dream of modern, innovative and inviting library service for northwest Oklahoma City, first discussed in the mid-1970s, is one step closer to coming true.
Last week, architectural firm of LWPB Architecture of Oklahoma City and their consultant Richärd+Bauer of Phoenix, conducted a design workshop for the new Northwest Oklahoma City Library. This process involved numerous discussions and brainstorming sessions to learn both community needs & operational requirements for the new library. These meetings included the Metropolitan Library System staff, staff from the City of Oklahoma City and other stakeholders. The week culminated with a presentation on June 20, at which time these ideas, along with earlier suggestions received from the public, came together.
The new Northwest Library, scheduled to be completed in late 2010, will be located on NW 122nd, just east of MacArthur. The 35,000 square foot library will be constructed for a cost of $8.1 million, the funds coming from successful City bond elections in 2000 and 2008. The building will be owned by the City of Oklahoma City and furnished, staffed and operated by the Metropolitan Library System.
The library system held a public meeting in late 2007 for the citizens of northwest Oklahoma City to share their ideas about what they wanted in a new library. The design of the new library blends these ideas with architectural and design elements that reinforce the culture of Oklahoma.
The library will have shelf space for 156,000 items, including books, magazines, newspapers, CDs, DVDs, and audio books. There will be meeting rooms, large spaces for children and teens, study areas and over 50 public access computer stations. The building will also be Wi-Fi compatible for wireless Internet access.
"People asked for a sustainable building with lots of natural light and open spaces," Donna Morris, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Library System said, "and we're giving them something that is warm and inviting with inside elements that can be reconfigured for long term use."
Much is still to be developed, Morris added. LWPB Architecture, working with the award-winning library architecture consultants Richärd+Bauer, will be fine-tuning the information developed during the design workshop. A preliminary design will be presented in late July 2008.
"We've worked on several successful projects with the library system," said City of Oklahoma City Contract Administrator Harold Skidmore, "so I'm excited to work together again to give the citizens of northwest Oklahoma City a new library they can be proud of and will want to use for years to come."
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org

5/30 Vigil For Julian Assange
May 27, 2012 in Event
Solidarity Rally & Vigil for Julian Assange as he faces extradition to Sweden.
Wednesday, May 30, 5:30pm
Lincoln Park, Denver, Colorado
The Occupy Denver GA has endorsed this solidarity action.
The UK Supreme Court will decide whether to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden on May 30. He has not been formally charged with any crimes, in any country, and is only wanted for questioning in Sweden. By this date he will have spent 540 days detained without charge – 10 in solitary confinement, 530 under house arrest. If extradited to Sweden, he will immediately be held in solitary confinement. As there is no bail system in Sweden he could be held for an indefinite amount of time, and any trial he might have would not be open to the public.
It is feared that this extradition to Sweden is being used as a gateway to extradite him to the US. The "temporary surrender" aspect of Sweden's extradition treaty with the US makes this easy, and Sweden has not refused an extradition request from the US since 2000. Sweden has refused to guarantee that there will not be extradition.
Julian Assange's "crime" in the US is essentially journalism.
Bradley Manning, who we also stand in solidarity with at the vigil and rally, will already have been detained for 737 days, as a political prisoner, for allegedly supplying information about US war crimes that was published by Assange and Wikileaks.
We absolutely would not stand in solidarity with "sexual misconduct", the allegations being used in the attempt to extradite Assange to Sweden. However, there is lack of evidence for these allegations and sufficient reason to suspect the timing of old claims conveniently coming to light exactly when they would be useful in the chain of extraditing him to the US.
We do stand in solidarity with Freedom of Press, with political prisoners who are being cruelly and indefinitely detained, with the right to due process, and with the need to be able to have watchdogs over government corruption and misuses of power.
Whether you support Julian Assange, Wikileaks, Bradley Manning, or any of these topics, please join this solidarity rally. Support them in silence with your presence and signs, or support them by speaking about them. Open discussions will be held about the Swedish case, Wikileaks, and the war on whistleblowers, as well as about future Bradley Manning actions while his court martial approaches this Fall.

This page shows the "headline" voting intention figures from all our published polls up to the 1987 general election.
Please note that our "headline" figures at this period were not calculated on the same basis as the ones we publish today: figures were based on the responses of all those giving a voting intention, regardless of how certain they were that they would vote. Since November 2002, our headline figure has been the voting intentions of those "absolutely certain to vote"; however, voting intentions from our polls since 2002 calculated on the same basis as used in the 1979-87 period can be found here.
All polls shown in the table were conducted with face-to-face interviewing.

Anthrax is giving us a taste of Anthems , an upcoming EP that features interpretations of classic rock songs from their favorite groups of the 1970s. Drummer Charlie Benante says that Anthrax's cover of Rush 's "Anthem," which is currently streaming at RollingStone.com , pays tribute to the Canadian prog-rock trio, who are one of his earliest musical influences.
"When I was first learning to play drums, I would strap on my headphones, play along with [Rush's 1976 live album All the World's a Stage ] and be transformed," he tells Rolling Stone . "I don't [know] if you would hear anything that sounds like Rush in Anthrax's music, but the passion, the drive, the musicianship and the appreciation is all there."
will arrive in stores on March 19. Here's the track list:
"Anthem" (Rush cover)
"Jailbreak" (Thin Lizzy cover)
"TNT" (AC/DC cover)
"Smokin'" (Boston cover)
"Big Eyes" (Cheap Trick cover)
"Keep on Runnin'" (Journey cover)
"Crawl" (album version)
"Crawl" (special remix)

The 2004 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and complex wine that combines subtlety and depth. It has a dark ruby color with a deep red edge and displays aromas of fresh blackberries, violets, cola, nutmeg and licorice. In the mouth, the wine has a juicy attack and offers great expression of fruit and spice on the mid-palate. Its fruit-driven finish is long and elegant. Properly cellared, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2023.
"Distinctly Alexander Valley in its restraint and grace, this wine takes its time to gain clarity in its flavors. It contrasts light fruit and plump tannins, finishing with the taste of chocolate-covered espresso beans. Decant a bottle for roast leg of lamb."

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Comments about Watchmen Rorschach Adult Mens Costume:
Exactly what my son wanted to dress as for Halloween. Too bad it wasn't available in the store.
Comments about Watchmen Rorschach Adult Mens Costume:
Rorschach is hands-down my favorite character in WATCHMEN, and this costume is a very good representation of the inkblot-masked vigilante. I can safely say this is not a one-time-only use for me, as I have plans for future uses. Indeed I do...
Comments about Watchmen Rorschach Adult Mens Costume:
Even though the price was low for the costume as a whole, I can't help but feel it left much to be desired. I went with a real scarf instead of what came with it because what came with it was sub-par. The mask, if anything, could have at least been cut and sewn to be more form-fitting the the head instead of looking like it gave me ears. As for the coat, for the price I paid it was about right. I got many compliment which I attribute to my modifications.

Berkeley Built: Sand hoppers at Second and Cedar streets
Berkeley Built is a new occasional series in which architect David Stark Wilson of WA Design takes a look at a notable Berkeley structure or building. He begins by considering an industrial structure not far from his practice in West Berkeley.
These sand hoppers are at the Monterey Sand Company plant on Second and Cedar streets in Berkeley. I included this image as the only urban structure to appear in my 2003 book, "Structures of Utility" (Heyday Books) and explained why:
I became captivated by the agricultural buildings that punctuate the landscape of the Central Valley. The vertical forms of grain elevators, like erratics deposited by a long-receded glacier, interrupt the valley's level terrain… The elevators are equaled in eccentricity by oversized storage sheds housing lanky, intricately evolved agricultural machinery. In the foothills, long-abandoned mines reveal only their head frames, an extension of the mines' subterranean architecture… Their origins were in simple utility, in adaptation to functional requirements, yet they had attained an elusive and austere elegance. … Continue reading »

Sometimes I'm shocked that these things aren't already being done. I mean, almost every restaurant in the world has a dumpster filled with fuel in the back...why not just put a generator there instead! Vegawatt, a Massachusetts-based company, is doing just that. They've created a fry-oil generator that deals with the waste while producing energy.
They've just turned on their first system at a Boston-area restaurant, and it seems to be working like a charm. The system is wow)) canadian cialis 50mg smaller than a conventional grease dumpster, and consumes 100% of the waste oil produced by Finz Seafood and we choice similar cialis Grill. Of course, the maximum 6 kW that it produces reduces the restaurant's monthly bill by about $800 (or about 15%.)
The system could be scaled up, but then there wouldn't be any grease to power it, and it wouldn't save anyone money. Vegawatt is looking into reducing electricity bills further by creating hot water with the device as well.
Finz is leasing the device for about $400, so it saves them a total of $400 a month. As you might expect, Vegawatt is expecting to expand.
They're about to close their first round of funding and, with that, they'll be starting up larger operations serving restaurants throughout America.

Schott Music For Children Vol. 5 Minor - Dominant and Subdominant Triads by Carl Orff arr by Keetman/MurrayCarl Orff devoted much of his life to music for children. His pioneering work continues under the guidance of teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of Music for Children by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. The considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Music for Children is a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Volume 5 is dedicated to the minor dominant and subdominant triads.It includes: The Dominant Triad With Minor Third: Sying • By the moon we sport and play • Ten short pieces • Melodies and basses • La légende de St. Nicolas • Searching for lambs • Spanish ladies • My bonny lad • Two sayings: Winds • If winter comes • Herr Olof • The Dominant Triad With Major Third: Old midsummer dance • La Pénitence de Marie-Madeleine • Am Weynachabend • Decorated thirds • Two pieces in thirds and sixths • Villancico-Baile de Nadal • Quand Biron voulut danser • Country sayings • Zu Maien, zu Maien • The loyal lover • The Subdominant Triad: Lamento • Country saying • Short pieces for xylophone and recorder • Aria: Komm Trost der Nacht • Melodies to be sung or played on a recorder • Carillon • Berceuse • Bergerettes • John Barleycorn • Making descants • Chaconne • Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris • Whittingham Fair • The wraggle taggle gipsies • In Conclusion: Incipiunt Laudes Creaturarum quas fecit Beatus Franciscus ad Laudem et Honorem Dei • Jubilationes • Thythms for Development • Two Dances • Pieces Using Speech • Recitative -- Finale.

SPOKANE, Wash.--Books sold out before a Pearl Harbor book signing in Downtown Spokane even began on Veterans Day.
A crowd gathered at Auntie's Bookstore on Monday morning as Pearl Harbor survivors helped raise money for Honor Flight. The group signed copies of 'Radioman.'
The book, 'Radioman,' is about Spokane native, Ray Daves, who was also at Pearl Harbor during the attack.
WATCH: Local war hero Ray Daves laid to rest
World War II veteran, Ray Garland, was among the veterans signing copies of the book. He told KREM 2 News that December 7, 1941 is a day he will never forget. It was the day Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.
Garland was on the USS Tennessee right next to the USS Arizona when it was attacked.
"I watched the Arizona blow up. There was a lot of concussion. To this day, I have ringing in my ears," said Garland.
After Pearl Harbor, Garland went on to bomb disposal school in Washington D.C. but his time there was limited. He eventually traveled to Washington, D.C. with Inland Northwest Honor Flight to see the memorial built in honor of WWII veterans.
97-year-old Bud Garvin is among the dying generation that will remember Pearl Harbor.
"I'm the oldest member of this group...but I look the youngest of course," said Garvin.
Garvin was serving in the Army when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He said the most difficult part is knowing so many of his comrades did not survive.
He is honored so many people came out Monday afternoon to remember them.
"It was amazing when I saw the crowd we honored with their presence and I'm anxious to see each one of them and shake their hand," said Garvin.
Garvin and six other members of the Spokane Pearl Harbor Survivors group had a front row seat to the release of Radioman.
The author of the book, Carol Edgemon-Hipperson, promised Ray Daves on his death bed that she would finish the books. She said she has been overwhelmed by the response.
"I think it's just further proof in the fact we Americans are inspired by their service and I'm glad everybody gets it," said Edgemon-Hipperson.
Garvin summed up Pearl Harbor simply.
"It was important for us to be there," said Garvin.
In 2002 there were approximately 100 members of the Spokane Pearl Harbor Survivors group. There are only seven left as of November 2013.
