Rereading the latest political biography of the Bihar chief minister in the middle of a contentious general election prompts some serious reflection on the nature of leadership. It is said that the one who leads the orchestra must turn his back to the crowd. But politics is unlike conducting an orchestra and a political leader, more often than not, swims with the tide. Nitish Kumar comes across as a leader who ignores the crowd, rising above it and often swimming against the tide. Does that make him a good or a bad leader, the reader is left wondering.
One of the last gentlemen in Indian politics, Nitish was seduced by Lohia's socialism, got sucked into the JP agitation in the mid-seventies and gave up an engineering career. He refused to get married till the paltry dowry his father had accepted was returned. He lost the first two elections he contested because of his stubborn refusal to back people belonging to his own caste who were held guilty for a massacre. He neglected his wife for what he believed was a higher calling, public service. He stubbornly kept Narendra Modi away from his side all through his tenure as chief minister, at a time when nobody expected him to do so. And he felt his secular credentials required a parting of ways with the BJP when it became clear that Modi would be the party's prime ministerial candidate.
Did Nitish oppose Modi because he saw himself as a potential or a better prime minister? Single Man does not throw much light on a troubled relationship beyond what is already in the public domain. The author does ask the question but the self-effacing Bihar CM brushes it off by saying that he has no ambition other than serving Bihar.
There are few Bihar observers who write as engagingly as Sankarshan Thakur. And he does not disappoint, delivering a racy, readable biography of a difficult, reticent subject. There are interesting vignettes about the Bihar CM's visit to Pakistan and his insistence on visiting Jaulian in Taxila, where Chanakya is believed to have taught; his leaning towards Buddhism and his pronounced distaste for those seeking favour. Thakur, a self-confessed 'Harry from Harrysburgh' (Biharis migrating to Delhi from Patna), writes lovingly about the state and its chief minister, though a tad too charitably at times. But one can hardly blame him, for when he does manage to track down Nitish's oldest childhood friend, all that Munnaji can recall of his days with the future chief minister is, "bahut maza kiye the (We had loads of fun)".
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
Nitish Kumar ought to have waited to see how the dice would fall before making his big move.

Meeting in Asia this month with a number of carriers that participate in the project by submitting their berth productivity data to The Journal of Commerce, I've never seen a greater sense of urgency to find ways to get ships in and out of port faster. It's a simple calculus: The quicker a ship leaves port, the slower the speed and less fuel is needed to get to the next port on schedule.

News and updates on port productivity at terminals in the U.S., China, India and other international ports and terminals.
News & Analysis
30 Nov 2015
Innovation in robotics, driverless vehicles, big data and simulation software will be more important to port operations in the next decade as shrinking global trade volumes force ports to emphasize cost cutting and efficiency to turn profits.
25 Nov 2015
Port of Long Beach's Dr. Noel Hacegaba discusses the port's achievement of record-breaking volumes in the wake of severe port service disruptions along the West Coast due to labor negotiations, alliances and chassis shortage challenges
16 Nov 2015
Busan had the shortest average waiting times at anchorage and Qingdao had the highest percentage of ships proceeding directly to berth among the 10 highest-volume global container ports, according to statistical analysis by IHS Maritime & Trade.
05 Nov 2015
A year after acrimonious labor negotiations snarled traffic at U.S. West Coast ports, lawmakers have unveiled draft legislation that could trigger federal intervention to head off future slowdowns.
19 Oct 2015
Labor issues contributed to West Coast port congestion this past year, but it is the cargo surges from big ships and the "extraordinary randomness" of container discharges and truck visits to marine terminals that will be the longer-lasting problems for ports, according to Long Beach CEO Jon Slangerup.
15 Oct 2015
The problem of port congestion cannot be solely attributed to mega-ships and should be addressed through better industry collaboration and fundamental change across the supply chain, according to a global consultant in the container industry.
29 Sep 2015
Container ports fighting bottlenecks that drive up costs for shippers may soon have a new weapon: an automated container management system that promises to double throughput hourly.
11 Aug 2015
Container ships greater than 10,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units calling at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in July experienced significantly longer berth stays than the overall vessel average, with Long Beach also recording greater mega-ships arrival delays than the industry average, CargoSmart data has found.
27 Jul 2015
Minor ports in India continue to rapidly gain market share on their major public rivals, thanks to aggressive marketing efforts and cargo diversions, with the newest data obtained by JOC.com showing so-called non-major cargo terminals recorded double-digit year-over-year container growth fiscal year 2014-15, which ended March 31.
22 Jun 2015
Analysis of more than 125,000 port calls in 2014 ranked six ports in China and two ports from the United Arab Emirates among the Top 10 for the year.

This Bottega Veneta woven messenger is quite possibly one of most luxe bagsI own, but it's not the easiest to carry (I'm quickly running out offavorites that match that perfectly impractical criteria). It's heavy, thecross-strap isn't that comfortable and, despite its huge size, you really(really) have to pare down what you put in there.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
SI opens its Vault
Years ago, it wasn't uncommon for long-time subscribers of magazines like National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and well, ahem, male-oriented magazines, to keep the old copies in a neat bundle somewhere in the house.
Who among us didn't want to have handy in the basement a copy of the SI cover with your favorite 70s era team or player on it?
That's all changed now. Sports Illustrated has announced that, beginning Thursday, it will debut a new site, called the Vault. The site will contain all of the words SI has ever published.
In addition, the site will have images, video and other material in a searchable database.
The Vault's search engine will allow a reader to search by athlete, coach, team, sport, decade and year.
The site can be accessed via SI.com.

Sandy Saddler vs Hank Armstrong......

Re: Sandy Saddler vs Hank Armstrong......
A lot of people will claim Saddler had the right mix of height, reach and power like a smaller, slower Thomas Hearns, but with the added advantages of inside strength and an iron jaw. Saddler did possess all this, and the people who reckon he had what it took to maim Armstrong may be right - but I disagree.
Probably a product of subconscious, people seem to think Saddler would hold the intellectual superiority, but Armstrong was smart - he could counter punch well, avoiding a shot to put himself in position and land two of his own.
Now there is only one direction Armstrong headed, and that was forward - Saddler was pushed back in his career, but I can't ever recall Armstrong being physically overpowered, even against bigger challengers. Saddler may have been able to suffocate and claw away at contenders or potential champions, but trying to contain Armstrong, especially at featherweight, was like attempting to put out a raging fire with a water pistol.
That's the key factor here actually - featherweight. Or anything around that poundage - Armstrong was not quite human. 1937 - 27-0, 26 knockouts. He wasn't just winning, he was smashing the house up, more so at that time than the version we usually see on film, whose punches admittedly looking fairly light. Not that he wasn't still smashing everyone up of course, but there were a few who went the distance as Armstrong put on a bit of weight, and coincidentally these are the ones on film.
At featherweight, it was pure hell to even try to withstand the fanaticism of his attack.
Saddler could hold and hit Willie Pep, but it's not the same. It's as simple as this, to me; Armstrong would be too much for him. The reality is that Saddler wouldn't have the physical advantages, because despite being strong for his build and a very hard puncher, he wasn't a good enough boxer to work his way around Armstrong. Which means he'd have to deal with him at mid to close range, and that would be murder.
How could he even hope to cope with a man who, at that distance, is stronger, quicker, has more torque in his hooks and uppercuts, uses his head, and who throws a hundred punches in every round?
I'm confident in Armstrong's chin holding up. It may very well be one of the very best in history.

If your Steam Controller won't work properly, make sure you have the correct udev rules.
Latest News
Hollow Knight's trailer took me by surprise, not only do the graphics and animations look really sweet, but the gameplay actually looks rather good.
GhostControl Inc is a pretty cool idea, and one to try for fans of things like XCOM and Ghostbusters, the developers just landed a nice big update too.
Empire TV Tycoon has just today put up their Linux version after sorting out some issues, and I can't wait to give it a go.
Heads up cheapo hunters, as Steam has a big sale on right now that lasts until December 1st. I've highlighted some deals I think are pretty good.
Albion Online is something I have kept on eye on for sometime now, and since I've been playing it during the closed beta period here are my initial thoughts on it. This is not a full review, as I will do that once it's completely out.
Switch Galaxy Ultra looks pretty decent, it has some positive reviews, and it has parts designed by WipeOut co-creator Jim Bowers.
Unmechanical has been extended with a new chapter, adding more than an hour's worth of new puzzles and exploration, and the Unreal Engine 3 powered game is now officially available for Linux.
Broforce is by far my favourite action platformer ever made, that is an easy decision for me to make. The fact they are still updating it is awesome.
Storm United is easily one of my favourite up and coming FPS games, it needs more players so get going people.
The new proprietary AMD GPU Driver named Crimson just shipped and I decided to take it for a spin in a set of benchmarks. So, let's see if we see any improvement in the performance of these drivers.
Well now, Syber discounted their Steam Machine line (all three models), and now all but the highest price machine are sold out.
It seems a leak from slides showing off AMD Crimson is reporting much better Linux performance in certain games.
It's time for another edition of "GOL Asks", and today I am asking about games you have been playing and loving or hating recently.
I previously mentioned that the seriously cool looking Epistory - Typing Chronicles would come to Linux & SteamOS, but it's now out, and it just had a big content update too!

Occupy Central referendum won't represent Hong Kong's electorate
Most Popular
Occupy Central was originally designed to be an exercise in radical democracy.
Through a series of "deliberation" meetings, people would design and vote on their own democratic models from the ground up, the most popular of which would be chosen by the people to be the official position of the pro-democracy movement. So far, so good - on paper.
Unfortunately, idealism flounders on the rocks of reality. Academics like Dr Benny Tai Yiu-ting and Dr Chan Kin-man read about such experiments in foreign books and decided to use us all as guinea pigs in a political experiment. It turns out it is just an exercise in self-selection, confirmation bias and the silencing of rivals.
However the so-called referendum turns out next month, the outcome is no different or any more democratically representative than if Tai and his supporters just come out and demand public nomination as their be-all and end-all position.
Occupy hired a group of so-called international experts to filter out practically all election reform proposals that supposedly failed to meet international standards, presumably as stated in the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
But while any reform proposal that has any realistic hope of gaining passage in the legislature must include some elements in those rejected proposals as stipulated by Beijing, Tai and Company effectively make sure only pan-democratic proposals get an airing.
Next, out of the 15 mostly pan-democratic proposals already pre-selected, they had some 2,000 hardcore supporters of Occupy Central yesterday choose three to put forward for their online "referendum" next month. Are these people representative of Hong Kong's 3.5 million electorate or just an extremely small, self-selecting sample group that constitutes the most extreme and uncompromising elements within the pan-democratic camp?
After next month, there is no doubt Tai and Chan will claim the proposal they now endorse has all the legitimacy it needs as if it were chosen in a real referendum. But they would be wrong. Not only that, but misguided as only ivory-tower scholars who try to play real politics can be.

It will be more representative than the election that chose our current CE, or ANY of our functional constituency legislators. But don't let that put you off. And I love how pro-Beijing commenters like to throw "foreign" as a demeaning term, when the entire political system of China took its strength from Marx, who wrote in London, and other Russian communist movement leaders.
And I love your weasel words: "SO-CALLED international experts", "SUPPOSEDLY failed", and "PRESUMABLY as stated". Really on a roll there.
The government and pro-Beijing stance has been to offer NO concessions and no moves towards a middle ground. So if the discussion is one-sided it's because one side has not yet been told how much it can compromise.
In reply to: ubifrancehk (May 7th 2014, 7:33am)
If you take out the word "pan-democratic" and replace it with DAB you have arrived at the heart of the problem with Hong Kong's government since pretty much 1997. And for all the flaws that the pan-dem's proposals may have, I have not yet seen any proposal from the anti-democratic camp that would solve this problem.
Everything the DAB and other let's-become-the-mainland forces have put on the table so far shares one common characteristic: it ensures the continuation of rule by self-selecting kleptocrats who serve big business interest and their masters in Beijing well, but from the general public and overall welfare perspective do nothing but creating one policy failure after another.
First off, are these "so-called" experts, or are they just experts? I agree their qualifications as "experts" should be individually and collectively judged. I wonder if their bona fides are listed somewhere.
But second, if their mandate is to screen for proposals that are consistent with the ICCPR, it's hardly their problem if the proposals they review don't meet the requisite standards. Don't blame the people who label proposals as stupid; blame those who came up with the stupid proposals themselves (not surprisingly, most of those will be the CCP lackey types...go figure).
Third, their job is not to identify those proposals that have a chance of gaining passage in the legislature. Again, their job is just to apply ICCPR principles and weed out proposals that fail the grade. If, as a result of their screening, eligible proposals stand no chance of passing the legislature, then the problem is with the legislative process, and not with the experts or the proposals themselves. In fact, this would not surprise me one bit. Tai is not gaming the process to benefit pan-dems. You can't blame pan-dems for coming up with democratically sound proposals; blame the CCP goofs for failing to do so.
Lo's only legit beef is with the further screening of 15 down to 3. That part is not on. On everything else, Lo is barking up the wrong tree.
I totally disagree with your implication that HK's political reform package can not comply with the ICCPR if it has any chance of Beijing's approval. To the contrary, Beijing needs to be pushed to fulfill its international obligations under the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law.
I do totally agree with you that it's unacceptable for a bunch of radicals to screen out 12 perfectly good political reform proposals that not only complied with the ICCPR, but probably had a decent shot at Beijing's approval. Radicals like Long Hair and People's Power are already pushing hard to ensure that the 3 proposals that Occupy Central will present in its referendum will have public nomination, despite the fact that it violates the Basic Law.
So I must agree with Mr Lo : the whole Occupy Central movement is a total farce and in no way represents the average man/ woman in the streets.

Aniston scoops early MTV awardComment on this story
Los Angeles - Jennifer Aniston is being rewarded for being bad at the MTV Movie Awards.
The actress picked up the best on-screen dirtbag award for her role as a man-eating dentist in Horrible Bosses at the beginning of Sunday's MTV Movie Awards.
Bridesmaids and The Hunger Games are battling for the most buckets of golden popcorn trophies at the show. The raunchy comedy and survival saga are the top nominees at the 21st annual extravaganza with eight nods apiece, including movie of the year.
The live, fan-favourite ceremony is hosted by actor-comedian Russell Brand.
He opened the show by poking fun at Kim Kardashian, "short-lived celebrity marriages" and Charlie Sheen. - Sapa-AP

A couple of weeks ago, Transportation Alternatives organized an e-mail writing campaign to the Mayor's office to urge the Mayor to do something about the cars plaguing Central Park. Issues with car use in the park range from speeding, to pollution, to just an overall dangerous situation of having cars in a park.

TOP 30 FIRM MENZIES has announced an acquisition with TAL-London to better serve local clients.
TAL-London was previously the London operation of Target Consulting. The London office was kept apart from a pre-pack adminnistration that affected other Target offices.
Further reading
The latest move will double Menzies' London presence and give TAL-London clients access to international capabilities.
All of the TAL-London staff will relocate to Menzies' Tavistock Square offices – there are no planned redundancies following the merger.
Julie Adams (pictured), senior partner at Menzies, said: "We have been looking for a suitable merger partner to deepen our strength in London, so were very interested when one of our former managers, who is now a director of TAL-London, approached us to advise that their management team was considering a merger with another firm."
The merged firm will drop the TAL-London title and trade as Menzies.
Keith Seeley, managing director at TAL-London, said: "We are very pleased to have found such an excellent merger partner as Menzies, giving us the critical mass to really compete in London."

Remember Me
Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Jack Johnson and other top artists are donating their music to encourage Americans to speak out on climate change. Organized by the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, HeadCount and the NRDC Action Fund, this collaboration marks the first time free music has been used to prompt Americans to contact their elected officials.
Best of Bonnaroo, a compilation of 17 different live performances from the festival, is available for free at www.Musicforaction.org. Before downloading the music, visitors are asked to email their Senators, the President or their local newspapers about climate change. The music is free no matter what, but the artists hope all their fans join them in taking action on this issue.
"This generation has an opportunity to be remembered as one that confronted environmental challenges and took responsibility for the future," said Jack Johnson, whose song "Inaudible Melodies" can be heard on the compilation. "With that opportunity comes the responsibility to speak out."
The compilation also includes live tracks from Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, O.A.R. and Ani DiFranco, among others. In most cases these recordings have never before been released to the public, and were hand-picked by the musicians themselves. Other featured artists include: The Decemberists, Guster, Gov't Mule, Raphael Saadiq, Bob Weir & RatDog, Phil Lesh & Friends, moe. and The Disco Biscuits, whose bass player Marc Brownstein is the co-chair of HeadCount. All of the featured tracks are original songs, with the exception of My Morning Jacket's performance of The Velvet Underground's "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'."
America is closer than ever to passing its first federal climate change-related legislation, but many hurdles remain. The House of Representatives approved an energy bill last June that would reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases and encourage the development of green jobs. President Barack Obama then told world leaders that the U.S. will reduce carbon emissions by 17 percent over the next 10 years (compared to 2005 levels). However, there has been little movement in the Senate, leaving one crucial step incomplete. Literally the whole planet is waiting to see what the U.S. will decide, as India and China are not likely to act without the U.S. doing the same.
With climate change legislation now at a critical juncture, several organizations teamed up to use the gift of music to inspire citizens into action. HeadCount – a nonpartisan civic engagement organization best known for registering voters at concerts – conceived the idea as a way to point new voters toward being informed and active citizens. The NRDC Action Fund – an advocacy group committed to passing legislation that jump-starts the clean energy economy and reduces pollution – stepped in with resources, research, strategic guidance and a base of 250,000 supporters.
"The musicians we work with are very passionate about this topic and have great power to drive change," said HeadCount's Executive Director Andy Bernstein. "Their music will serve as a soundtrack for action."
"Forging a clean energy future means healthier kids, a safer world, and more jobs," said Heather Taylor-Miesle, director of the NRDC Action Fund. "This is our moment to demand that Congress put us on the path to a clean energy future by beginning to address climate change. We are excited about the opportunity to work with musicians and new activists throughout the country to make it happen."
Others involved include JamBase.com, which is actively promoting the campaign to its base of more than half a million users. Music publications Paste, Relix, and Spin are also providing marketing support. The nonprofit environmental groups Oxfam America, the Energy Action Coalition, The Worldwatch Insitute, Grist.org and 350.org are supporting the initiative as coalition partners, as is the music-oriented environmental organization Reverb, which will promote the campaign through its new Green Music Group. Reverb's founder Adam Gardner can be heard on the compilation performing with his band Guster. "This is the exact sort of thing that Green Music Group was created to support, getting fans and musicians together around an environmental action," Gardner said.
"There have been so many incredible performances at Bonnaroo over the years," said Richard Goodstone, one of the founders and principals of Superfly Presents, the co-promoter of Bonnaroo. "We're very happy that we could work with our family of artists in this way and inspire people to be active citizens. Climate change is the single biggest challenge our planet has ever faced and we all need to pitch in and be part of the solution."
"The decisions made today will affect you and your children for many years to come," said former Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, a member of HeadCount's board of directors who can be heard on the compilation with has band RatDog. "Whether it's voting in an election or speaking out about issues like climate change, it's critical that we all make enough noise so that politicians have no choice but to listen."

Big Data: Bigger Isn't Always Better
When it comes to big data, bigger is not always better. For a small to midsized company, starting small often makes more sense.
Since the concept of big data became the buzzword du jour, big data has become big business, as specialists in supply chain management work to leverage information for better logistics and supply chain management. Lured by the promise of big payoffs, many companies have sunk millions of dollars into sophisticated data analytics software only to realize they did not have the capabilities to interpret the new insights nor how to turn them into a competitive advantage.
The temptation to jump head first into a big-data project is obvious.
A survey conducted by Supply Chain Insights found that one fourth of the respondents had a big-data initiative in place and 65% planned on launching one in the near future. Seventy-six percent of survey respondents viewed big data as an opportunity.
Giants like Amazon, Google, and Walmart showcase how an entire enterprise can be built around the interpretation of unfathomable masses of data. These companies have perfected the science of gleaning -- and capitalizing on -- detailed insights about customer behavior. (For example, Walmart was able to pinpoint something as specific as what kind of Pop-Tarts customers stock up on before a storm -- strawberry.)
With similar analytics tools now available to companies in all kinds of industries, the opportunity to turn hype into hope may be irresistible.
A supply chain company could on the demand side, for example, determine to use big data to map all the quotes and online searches that never became orders and change its marketing strategy based on a newfound understanding of how the purchase of one product leads to the purchase of another.
On the supply side, big data could be used to measure the impact of a catastrophic event on suppliers abroad, and consequently, allow the company to plan in advance to mitigate the effects on American consumers.
In theory, it sounds easy. But a recent study by Harvard Business School suggests big-data investments fail to deliver because most companies can't handle the information they already have.
"[Companies] don't know how to manage it, analyze it in ways that enhance their understanding, and then make changes in response to new insights," the authors write. "Companies don't magically develop those competencies just because they've invested in high-end analytics tools."
Research suggests those companies that do succeed have a culture of evidence-based decision making. Those with advanced Master Data Management (MDM) are also more likely to successfully embark on a big-data project, another study suggests.
In any event, you'd be wise to:
What is your take on big data? What kind of approach do you think is key to a successful big-data initiative?

The latest, deliciously crammed episode (Season 3, Ep. 7) of Call the Midwife skillfully, and poignantly, interwove multiple stories that were, at their center, about creating a home or coming back to one.
Helen George
They were bringing in the sheaves on Call the Midwife's latest episode (Season Three, Ep. 6). But not to worry.
Years ago, there was a drinking game inspired by The Bob Newhart Show (1972-78). Every time a character on the sitcom greeted its eponymous star with a cheery, "Hi, Bob," viewers had to take a sip from their beers.
Call the Midwife is usually about the happy arrival of new lives into this world, what with a baby or two being born every episode. In the series' latest show (Ep.
Call the Midwife made a blatant play for ratings in its third episode of Season 3, featuring women in prison scenes and girl-on-girl fighting. What's next? Nuns with guns at Nonnatus House?
Let's get the really big news out of the way first: Midwife Trixie Franklin (Helen George) models a new pixie haircut in the second episode of Season 3. She says she was inspired to adopt the 'do after seeing actress Jean Seberg's …
Call the Midwife, the British series about a group of nurse-midwives and nuns who help the poor in London's East End in the late 1950s, got off to a promising start with its season opener on PBS. There was even a royal visit.
New episodes of Downton Abbey won't air until September in the U.K. and, program your DVR now, January in the U.
The cast members of Call the Midwife can do more than just deliver babies.
The hit British series, which airs on BBC in the U.K. and concluded its second season last month on PBS in the U.S., features a large ensemble cast of 11 main players plus Vanessa Redgrave, who is heard only in voiceover.
There were happy endings and new beginnings even as possible threats gathered on the horizon by the time the end credits rolled on the Season 2 finale of Call the Midwife, the popular BBC-produced series that airs on PBS in the U.S.

You can put the blame for THAT squarely on the shoulders of David Hasslehoff.
More like on the shoulders of the producer, writer, & director, not on Hasslehoff. Plus, Marvel should have adapted
Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D
as a live-action show a long time ago (in the '70's & '80's) instead of wasting time trying to bring Spider-Man & the Hulk to TV when the SFX tech wasn't there to make it truly work.

There is definitely bass. Also, he may be playing it on a guitar that's set up to play like a bass. There usually needs to be some form of bass in a recorded song otherwise it'll sound empty and pretty bad.
It's actually played on an electric double bass. The tone is smoother and because it's a double bass, it's meant to sit back in the mix. It's not a loud song to begin with. Maybe play it through a 3way system with a good sub and you should be able to hear it easily. :)

Poulos, Mary Morris 86 Feb. 16, 1928 April 05, 2014 Mary was born Feb. 16, 1928, in San Pedro, Calif., and passed away April 5, 2014, at age 86, in Portland. Beloved wife, daughter, sister and aunt. Preceded in death by loving husband, Tom, in 2009. She is survived by her sisters, Frances Hinkle and Eunice Dedo (Darrell); nieces; nephews; and cousins. Mary's family moved to Seattle in 1944 and she graduated from Lincoln High School in 1945. She moved to Portland in the early '50s and earned a nursing degree at Columbia School of Nursing. She was employed many years at Multnomah County Hospital and St. Vincent Hospital. After she and Tom married in 1969, they settled in his home port of San Diego and upon his Navy retirement relocated to Portland. She returned to work at St. Vincent for many years before her retirement in 1989. She enjoyed traveling to the annual convention of the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War and also learning about family genealogy. Her generous sharing of her love of books is a treasured memory for each niece and nephew. Mary was strong, independent, intelligent, a devout Catholic and devoted to her family and friends. Her family always knew how much she loved them and they will miss her greatly. Special thanks to her oldest friend and sister-in-law, Mary Peterson, and to dear friend, Phyllis Haynes. There will be a private service in Arlington, Wash., where she will be laid to rest with her husband; parents; and brother, Tommy.

Students Speak about Democracy in VFW Auxiliary Competition
Byline: Kirstin Finneran
There is a ritual that takes place every Wednesday at the Carpentersville VFW Post 5915.
Folks file in, take their seats and prepare for the bingo game to start. Good luck charms are arranged and cards are lined up all in anticipation of the first call.
And while players are in for a fun and entertaining way to spend the afternoon, the money they paid to get in is set aside for a most worthy cause.
That money is finding its way toward its intended recipients today at the VFW's Ladies Auxiliary Scholarship and Awards Luncheon. More than $6,000 is being donated today to winners of the VFW's scholarship programs and other organizations throughout the community.
The VFW's two scholarship programs are national in scope. According to Elaine Slack, who is co-chairwoman of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary 5915 Youth Activities & Scholarship program along with her husband Chuck, the historical Voice of Democracy scholarship program was initiated by the National Association of Broadcasters in 1946.
"The Voice of Democracy is a national audio competition designed to allow ninth- through 12th-grade high school students to voice their opinion on their responsibility to our nation. Veterans of Foreign War became involved in the program in 1950 and they took on the sole responsibility in 1961," Slack said.
To enter, high school students submit a three- to five-minute audio essay. This year's theme was "My Role in Honoring American Veterans." Slack said winners from Post 5915 are sent to the district level of competition. From there they can advance to the state and then national level. The first-place national winner receives a $30,000 scholarship that is paid directly to the recipient's American university, college, or vocational/technical school.
This year's first-place winner at Post 5915 is Blythe C. Meyer, who is in the 12th grade at Burlington Central High School. She placed first at 5th District Department of Illinois, and will be advancing to the state level competition. She will travel to Springfield next month to compete with 19 other districts. Meyer will receive $300 in scholarship money from the Carpentersville VFW as well as a plaque.
In second place is Nancy J. O'Neill, a 12th-grader at Dundee- Crown High School in Carpentersville. O'Neill will receive $200 in scholarship money today. And in third place is Brittany M. Seyller, an 11th-grader at St Edward Central Catholic High School in Elgin. Seyller will receive $100 in scholarship money.
The VFW's other scholarship program is the "Patriot's Pen" essay contest for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders. This essay contest was established in 1995. To enter, students must submit a 300- to 400-word written essay. This year's theme was "Why I Am an American Patriot. …
