When Kurt Vonnegut dedicated his novel Slapstick to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, he pinpointed the way an ideal team can transcend chemistry. Like Vonnegut's Wilbur and Eliza, the twins who became geniuses only in each other's presence, Laurel and Hardy united to become two halves of a single being. They bickered, they kicked each other's backsides, and were always mired in "another fine mess," but there was always the sense that they could not survive apart.
Much the same could be said of the Three Stooges, a comedy team with the flawless internal logic of a fine-tuned clock. There is Moe, the leader (by temperament if not acclamation), a tough-minded bruiser who gets things done and brings some semblance of organization. There is Curly, Moe's polar opposite — cheerful, energetic, optimistic, and totally incapable of seeing what is not in front of him (in A Plumbing We Will Go, he tries to fix a leak by attaching one pipe after another until he is trapped in a cage). And there is Larry, the middleman personified – he has no distinctive personality, but he's essential in the same way as ski poles.
If there were no Moe, the group would collapse into chaos (notice how Curly and Larry almost never talk to each other?). If there were no Larry, their films would be about a mean guy beating up a nice guy (Curly and Larry outnumber Moe, and could overpower him if they wanted to). And if there were no Curly ... well, I guess there would be Shemp, if you're into that sort of thing, but nobody wants to see just Moe and Larry. Why do these men stay together, despite the fact they don't seem to particularly like each other? Because apart, they could not function in the world.

Curly was long gone by the time of The New Three Stooges, a 1965-66 cartoon show new to DVD from Madacy, but if viewed with generosity, it offers some insight into the Stooges in winter.
The Stooges had enjoyed a career renaissance when their vintage shorts were syndicated to television in 1958, but with most of their audience now children, the team had eliminated malicious violence from their act — no more eye pokes, just light slapping. With portly vaudevillian "Curly Joe" DeRita filling the "third Stooge" slot (which suffered a mortality rate comparable to Spinal Tap drummers), the aging team offered a kindler, gentler brand of slapstick in personal appearances and films.
Each episode opens and closes with a live-action segment with the comedians engaged in some wheezy tomfoolery or other — they're bakers, they're painters, they're digging for treasure, etc. Production values are nonexistent: Each episode is filmed in a public park or no-frills soundstage (warehouse?), and the slapstick plays out in long, punishingly static medium-shots. Like the boys' 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures, these set pieces have little context — no need to know why the Stooges are at an airport or a barbershop, just that they're there.
In a freeze-frame from one of the live-action wraparounds, the Stooges are still at it, sort of.

Even if the Stooges hadn't downplayed violence, such measures might have been necessary: At 68 and 63, Moe and Larry look a little the worse for wear (Moe's hideous dye-job doesn't help matters). They are slower and saggier, less vicious but still ornery. Moe has evolved into an almost benevolent curmudgeon, and as for "Curly Joe," while surely one of the least-funny men who ever lived, he does offer a credible simulation of Jerome "Curly" Howard as an exhausted 56-year-old. Collectively, they have the same combination of coziness and prickliness as an old married couple.
The 156 cartoons are cheap and forgettable, and the 40 live-action wraparounds that repeat in order to surround them all are not very funny (and the sight of the boys cavorting in skin-tight swimsuits is not for the faint of heart). But for Stooge completists, they offer a strange sort of comfort. In the autumn of their years, the Stooges are still at it, once again starting some new business together, once again throwing pies in their weary faces, and still irretrievably locked in each other's orbit.
Wellington (AFP) - The All Blacks suffered a double blow on the eve of Saturday's Test against the Wallabies with captain Richie McCaw and wing Cory Jane ruled out after picking up injuries in training.
"Richie McCaw has been ruled out of Test with tight calf. Cory Jane also out w mild hamstring strain," the All Blacks posted on their Twitter account.
A team spokesman would not comment on the posting but said injury updates would be made at the captain's run later Friday. It is understood the injuries flared up during training on Thursday.
Sam Cane replaces McCaw on the openside flank and Charles Piutau will start on the right wing, with Steven Luatua added to the replacements, the All Blacks' official Twitter account said.
In recent weeks McCaw has been troubled by a knee injury suffered against Argentina early in the rugby championship.
Jane had been rushed back after only two appearances in New Zealand's provincial competition since sitting out most of the year with knee ligaments damaged in pre-season training.
All Blacks (15-1)
Israel Dagg; Charles Piutau, Ben Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea; Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Kieran Read (captain), Sam Cane, Liam Messam; Sam Whitelock, Jeremy Thrush; Charlie Faumuina, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock.Replacements: Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett, Ben Franks, Brodie Retallick, Steven Luatua, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Beauden Barrett, Tom Taylor.
Hulu said Thursday that, effective immediately, MikeHopkins is officially its new chief executive and that acting CEO AndyForssell will be leaving the company.
A Hulu board member since 2011, Hopkins was most recently president of distribution for Fox Networks Group, a division of 21st Century Fox, which owns Hulu along with Disney and Comcast.
Hopkins beat out not only Forssell for the permanent CEO job but also former NBCUniversal executive Lauren Zalaznick, Intel executive Erik Huggers and ABC executive Albert Cheng, all of whom were reportedly on Hulu's shortlist.
Word leaked last week, though, that Hopkins had been offered the role.
Forssell had been acting CEO since March, when Jason Kilar exited the company with a $40 million payout.
"After an extensive search, Mike was simply the best candidate for the job," said Anne Sweeney, co-chairman of Disney Media Networks and president of Disney/ABC Television Group. "He has a strong understanding of programming, digital distribution and consumer behavior and a great vision for Hulu's next chapter."
Hopkins takes over Hulu at an interesting time in its six-year history, having recently ended unsuccessful negotiations with a slew of potential acquirers and also having twice scrapped plans for an initial public offering.
Once derided as ClownCo by skeptics who thought the company's business model of streaming shows for free over the Internet was a nonstarter, the company has proved resilient. In 2012 it posted $695 million in revenue, up 65 percent from a year earlier, with revenue coming from advertising and its Hulu Plus subscription service.
When Kilar announced in January he was leaving Hulu, he had a history of disagreements with the bosses at Disney and Fox whereby he argued for a larger budget to acquire more content while others wanted to rein in costs and pursue steady profits. A month after leaving Hulu, Kilar joined the board of directors at DreamWorks Animation.
At Fox, Hopkins oversaw distribution, sales and marketing for 45 U.S. channels, and he oversaw a team that developed digital products like BTN2Go, a digital-video college sports offering, and Fox Now, which supplies TV shows on demand over the Internet.
"The team at Hulu has created a beloved user experience that feeds the undeniable need for quality, convenience and ease of use," Hopkins said Thursday. "I am honored to have the opportunity to work with this dynamic, innovative team."
'Traffic-light' labeling increases attention to nutritional quality of food choices

A simple, color-coded system for labeling food items in a hospital cafeteria appears to have increased customer's attention to the healthiness of their food choices, along with encouraging purchases of the most healthy items. In their report in the October issue of Preventive Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators describe customer responses to surveys taken before and after the 2010 implementation of a system using green, yellow or red "traffic light" labels to reflect the nutritional quality of items.
"Several small, experimental studies have suggested that 'traffic light' labels can be an effective method of promoting healthier choices, but there have been few real-world studies of customers' perceptions and purchasing behaviors in response to this type of labeling," explains Lillian Sonnenberg, DSc, RD, LDN, MGH Nutrition and Food Service, the corresponding author of the current report. "Our results suggest that these labels are an effective method for conveying information about healthy and unhealthy choices and for prompting changes in purchasing behavior."
While many restaurants and other food service locations are now posting the calorie content of their standard items and make detailed information such as fat, cholesterol and sodium content available on request, the researchers note that interpreting this information requires knowledge and skills that many do not possess. To find a simpler way to encourage more healthful purchases at the hospital's food service locations, MGH Nutrition and Food Service put together a plan that started with color-coding each item sold in the main cafeteria green for the healthiest items, such as fruits, vegetables and lean meats; yellow for less healthy items, and red for those with little or no nutritional value. Signage encouraged frequent purchase of green items, less frequent for yellow and discouraged purchase of red items. Cafeteria cash registers were programmed to record each purchased item as green, yellow or red, starting three months before the labeling intervention began.
Previous reports from the MGH team have described how the program a second phase of which included rearranging items in refrigerators to bring healthy choices to eye level increased sales of green items while decreasing purchase of red items. The current paper reports results of a survey taken during the month before and the two months after the labeling intervention began in March 2010. Research coordinators approached customers who had just made purchases and asked them to participate in the brief survey. Participants were asked whether they had noticed any nutritional information in the cafeteria or on food labels, which factors most influenced their purchases, how often they consider nutrition information before making food choices, and how often they "choose food that is healthy." After introduction of the color-coded labels, respondents were also asked whether they had noticed the labels and if the labels had influenced their purchases.
During the baseline period before the labeling intervention, 204 individuals completed the survey, and 243 did so in the weeks following. While 46 percent of respondents indicated that health/nutrition was an important factor in their choices at baseline, 61 percent did so after the intervention. The percentage of those indicating that they looked at available nutritional information before a purchase doubled from 15 to 33 percent, although there was no significant difference in the percentage reporting they usually or always choose healthy foods. Respondents who reported noticing the new labels bought a greater proportion of green items and fewer red items than did those who did not notice, and the influence was even stronger among those who indicated being influenced by the labels.
"While our results can't give concrete information about customers' nutritional knowledge, people were more likely to indicate that health and nutrition were important factors in their decision when the labels were in place, and those who noticed the labels were more likely to purchase healthy items," Sonnenberg says. "Although we haven't directly compared these "traffic light" labels to other systems, we can say that these labels appear to be more effective than the standard nutritional labeling available on packaged products. The strategy is simpler for customers to understand at the point of purchase and, once the appropriate labels for each item are determined, is relatively easy to implement."

SoundHound’s music identification app has the unfortunate position of having to live in Shazam’s shadow, but that may not be the case for much longer. Though both apps currently allow users to push a button to identify a song they’re hearing, SoundHound has been steadily nipping at its older competitor’s heels, with a growing user base and innovative feature set which lets you do different things, like view live lyrics synced to the music, identify songs by humming a melody, or search for music by entering snippets of lyrics.
Today the app is finally getting its iOS 7 makeover and is expanding its “Music Map” feature (another that it beat Shazam to launch) to include now not just the songs users are tagging around the world, but a personalized map where you can also view only your own tags filtered by day, week, month or all-time. Nifty? Sure. Practical? Hard to say.
The company envisions this map being a catalog of moments – a way to associate places with the music you heard there. For regular concert goers, that makes sense. But the company’s real business involves tapping into the much larger group of everyday music listeners – you know, those out there who are still turning on the radio during their commutes.
While its competitor Shazam may have a bigger user base, SoundHound hopes to top them through technological innovations. One area where SoundHound has forged ahead recently is in live radio broadcast recognitions – not just songs, but stations and programming.
Explains Katie McMahon, VP of Sales & Marketing, “SoundHound has deployed the ability to recognize radio stations. We’ve done this in partnership with Westwood One…it’s old school, terrestrial radio.” McMahon, who previously spent six years at Shazam before being recruited away by its scrappier competitor SoundHound, points out that radio still has a significant audience. “248 million Americans each week actively listen to radio. It’s almost this forgotten thing since Pandora came out,” she notes.
The SoundHound app is capable of taking a radio stream and making it identifiable – whether that’s a talk show, a sports broadcast or an NPR program. This capability, live for roughly a year, is important because it allows radio marketers to connect to mobile users.
For example, if you were to “tag” an audio program from the radio, those marketers could reach you through mobile ads, even if you switched on the radio after the on-air commercials had ended. The advertisers may have even first missed you through live radio, but could still reach you through your smartphone.
But the app isn’t pushing its users to “tag” the ads themselves – it’s just working to pick up the other audio around the music – DJ chatter, commercials, and other spots – to identify the station and programming, then show the relevant promotions. ”We didn’t want to suddenly pivot and change the entire use case and alienate our users,” says McMahon of the radio identification technology.
That’s different from Shazam which has become very focused on TV, and specifically making television commercials “taggable” through calls to action to users. (You may have seen the Shazam logo on some TV ads in the past.) SoundHound doesn’t want to change its core use case. For now, it’s more immediately focused on “music events” – that is, any live broadcasts, including radio or even TV events like the Grammy awards, for example.
McMahon says that SoundHound already has the technical capabilities to tag TV – or any audio, really – in similar ways to Shazam. ”Can SoundHound do what Shazam is doing on television? The answer is overwhelming ‘yes.’ And moreover, we have done it – last Superbowl we had it live.”
But the question is will Shazam beginning running its app in the background, to pick up the airwaves and sounds around you wherever you are, and whatever you’re doing? That is, listening to radio, watching TV, at a live event, etc.? McMahon couldn’t – or wouldn’t – say. For now, the company isn’t moving into the more general TV/television commercial recognition space. At least not how Shazam is doing it. “SoundHound is doing live broadcast recognition, and we’ve started in the space of radio,” is how McMahon puts it.
SoundHound says it has now grown its user base to 175+ million, up from 100 million just a year ago. This is not the number of downloads, to be clear, but only those that have launched and used the app. Shazam, however, is still larger, citing now over 375 million users worldwide. But those numbers aren’t surprising, given Shazam’s age. The company was founded in 1999 and has been on the iPhone since 2008, while SoundHound was founded in 2005, then launched a year later. That growth is impressive, especially if SoundHound’s claims are true when it says that most of that growth is organic.
Now the challenge for SoundHound is to be seen as something different from Shazam, rather than just a “better” Shazam. McMahon hints that moves toward that larger goal are in the works now.
“In 12 months’ time, the association of Shazam and SoundHound will be much wider apart – they’ll be seen as very different companies,” she says.
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Archaeologists in Sweden said Thursday they have unearthed the remains of unusually large wooden monuments near a pre-Viking Age burial ground.
As archaeologists dug in preparation for a new railway line, they found traces of two rows of wooden pillars in Old Uppsala, an ancient pagan religious center. One stretched about 1,000 yards (1 kilometer) and the other was half as long.
Archaeologist Lena Beronius-Jorpeland said the colonnades were likely from the 5th century but their purpose is unclear. She called it Sweden's largest Iron Age construction and said the geometrical structure is unique.
"It is a completely straight line and they have dug postholes every 20 feet (6 meters)," she said. "They have had an idea of exactly where this line is going and where to build it. It is a fairly modern way of thinking and we don't have many traces of these sorts of constructions from that time."
She said the pillars are believed to have been at least 23 feet (7 meters) high. Bones found in some postholes indicate animals had been sacrificed there.
Old Uppsala is known as a center for Norse religion, where believers gathered to sacrifice animals to gods such as Odin and Thor. The colonnades were found near a famous burial site where the three Iron Age kings Aun, Egil and Adils are believed to be buried.
Beronius-Jorpeland said written testimonies from medieval times describe the city as a place for large pagan "blood ceremonies" and religious feasts.
She said she believes there may be more colonnades in the area and archaeologists will continue to excavate and analyze the findings.

Today, a consortium led by Royal Holloway, University of London, has been awarded a grant of 13.5 million to fund approximately 176 postgraduate students, in order to address the national need for highly skilled researchers in disciplines across the arts and humanities.
Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the new Doctoral Training Partnership will bring together seven universities across London and the South-East, allowing students to benefit from diverse training opportunities and expertise from all members. This will include Royal Holloway, the University of Brighton, Kingston University, the University of Roehampton, the Royal College of Art, the University of Surrey and the University of the Arts London.
This unique training opportunity will also be enhanced by placements and partnerships with 13 arts and cultural organisations, including the Barbican, the Natural History Museum, the British Film Institute, the Science Museum and the Museum of London.
"We are very excited about leading this consortium and developing researchers who are at the forefront of their disciplines", said Professor Katie Normington, Dean of Arts and Social Science at Royal Holloway. "Our consortium draws its name, TECHNE, from the art of craft. Underpinning our innovative interdisciplinary student training will be the development of the craft and skill of the researcher."
The consortium was praised by the AHRC's award panel for having robust partnerships with a focus on providing future opportunities for students, as well as tailored training and support in subjects such as music, modern languages and history.
David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science, said: "The AHRC is creating more opportunities for the next generation of researchers, both within and beyond academia in the thriving arts and humanities sector. I'm particularly pleased to see an emphasis on student placements and additional skills training among the new arrangements."
Professor Mark Llewellyn, Director of Research for the AHRC, said: "This investment by the AHRC will not only support university researchers but also enrich the contexts in which arts and humanities skills and capabilities engage with and contribute to advancement and growth in sectors across the wider UK economy."
