Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Filmmakers can't resist retelling Batman's origin, despite that it's so widely known the LEGO Movie could (hilariously) boilt it down to the lyrics "Darkness/No Parents."
Now Burger Fiction gives the Caped Crusader's backstory all the time it probably requires in this video that captures Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy in just 90 seconds. Don't blink, or you'll miss young Bruce freaking out over bats, and then sitting at the corpses of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Following a little teasing, Sideshow Collectibles has fully unveiled its Joker Premium Format Figure, which commemorates Heath Ledger's acclaimed performance in 2008's The Dark Knight.
Standing more than 19 inches tall, the figure features a detailed fabric clothing, and holds a playing card in one hand and a machine gun in the other. The Sideshow-exclusive version comes with a swap-out left hand with detonator.
Soon you may not have to be a billionaire vigilante to cruise around in a car with its own Batpod. Well, Batpod-like auxiliary vehicle.
Patent Yogi reports Ford has filed a patent application for a car that can separate into a one-wheeled bike, a la Batman's ride from The Dark Knight, albeit without all the weaponry and pageantry. You'll need a Hollywood effects team for that.
After defeating villains like The Joker, Bane and Ra's Al Ghul, Batman finally may have met his match with … Pee-wee Herman.
That Show About That Thing mashes together Pee-wee's Big Adventure and The Dark Knight to deliver a criminal mastermind that the Caped Crusader may never truly understand, and the citizens of Gotham may never survive.
Leave it to the Good Smile Company to discover that perfect blend of creepy and adorable with its Nendoroid Joker: Villain's Edition figure.
Based on the Joker as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, the Clown Prince of Crime has been shrunk to Nendoroid-size, while retaining all of the homicidal charm of the original. Featuring two equally alarming expressions, the Joker also boasts a purple trench coat with movable back, left and right sides, to allow for greater posing.
When a client in the posh Melbourne, Australia, suburb of Toorak wanted to renovate to make room for a car collection without marring the architecture of the stately manor, design firm Molecule knew where to turn for inspiration: Christopher Nolan's 2008 film The Dark Knight.
Using Bruce Wayne's striking subterranean garage as "a totem of the design approach," the studio set to work on "the Wayne Residence," whose beautifully landscaped lawn and well-appointed tennis court conceal the very modern Batcave nestled beneath.
Sideshow Collectibles' Premium Format statues are nothing if not detailed, and, well, pricey.
Take, for instance, this one, inspired by Batman from Christopher Nolan's 2008 film The Dark Knight. Boasting screen-accurate detail, and resembling star Christian Bale (naturally), the statue stands 20 inches tall on its base. Draped in a velvety cape, Batman's armor and utility belt are meticulously recreated. The Sideshow-exclusive version also comes with an interchangeable head that simulates Lucius Fox's powerful sonar vision technology.
If you've ever been stuck in traffic and fantasized you could split off a motorcycle from your car, Dark Knight-style, to race to your destination, you may be in luck. Well, some day.
Combining the functionality of Batman's Tumbler and Batpod with the aesthetics of Kaneda's bike from Akira and the Spinner from Blade Runner, the Lane Splitter concept design from Fast Company's Mark Wilson and Argodesign is a car that converts into two functioning motorcycles.
Prepare your jealousy: For the first time ever, Warner Bros. Studios allowed a reporter and camera crew inside its super-secret warehouse on the outskirts of London.
CNN's Max Foster got to explore an archive with more than 10,000 props and 3,000 costumes from the studio's various franchises and big-budget blockbusters, including Batman, Harry Potter, Gravity and Edge of Tomorrow. After trying on a mech suit from Edge of Tomorrow and sitting in Sandra Bullock's space shuttle from Gravity, Foster even went inside The Dark Knight Trilogy's fully functional Tumbler.
Mere days before Comic-Con International, LEGO has finally revealed what many collectors long suspected would make its debut in San Diego: the Ultimate Collector Series Batman Tumbler.
Measuring 15 inches by 9 inches, the vehicle comes with Batman and Joker minifigs, which The Brothers Brick notes marks the first LEGO appearance of Heath Ledger's version of the character from The Dark Knight. There's also a nameplate and an accessible cockpit.
Composed of 1,869 pieces, the Ultimate Collector Series LEGO Batman Tumbler 76023 will be available in September for $199.
"When I work for DC, anything I create I get a piece of. Lucius Fox, for example, who was in the last trilogy of Batman movies played by Morgan Freeman, bought my new house. At Marvel, I did see a check off The Wolverine, the current film. But as a rule I don't any of the ancillary money off of all of the toys and soaps and shampoos and skateboards and God knows what else that features the character."
— veteran writer and editor Len Wein, who co-created the Batman supporting character Lucius Fox and the wildly popular Wolverine, talking about his compensation for film adaptations during a Television Critics Association panel for the upcoming PBS miniseries Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle.
According to TheWrap, Wein said that although there have been six movies featuring Wolverine, "esoteric rules" mean that he was only compensated for the most recent one, because it was named for the character. The requirements are so strict that he didn't receive a check for 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
For all of the ridicule Christian Bale received for his 2008 tirade on the set of Terminator Salvation, it turns out the Oscar winner is a kindhearted guy, visiting with victims of the shooting at The Dark Knight Rises screening in Aurora, Colorado, and flying the family of a 4-year-old cancer patient to have lunch with him at Disneyland. And now the actor has put a smile on the face of an 8-year-old Batman fan who's battling leukemia.
Butcher Billy, the Brazilian artist sometimes known as Bily Mariano da Luz, is turning into something of a Robot 6 favorite. His latest project posted at Behance is "Batman: The Nolan X Burton Experiment," smashing together Tim Burton's 1989 Batman and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy to sometimes humorous, often illuminating, effect. By placing their differing elements in proximity, these images reveal both what was good and what failed from these two adaptations. (Such as, hey Tim, you cast Lando Calrissian as Harvey Dent, then do absolutely nothing of consequence with the character in either of your films? What was that all about?)
As Bily writes: "But are they really that different? How much of all that is really classic and timeless and how much is pure recycling to modern times? Are those elements cool enough to stand even if taken from their own environments? How those concepts would work if they were mixed into one another?"
If the trailer for Batgirl: Spoiled wasn't enough to whet your fan-film appetite, there's now Batman: Puppet Master, a short set in the aftermath of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight as the Gotham City Police Department calls in an expert to help bring Batman to justice: FBI Special Agent Edward Nigma.
However, Nigma doesn't merely want to catch the Dark Knight; he wants to deduce his secret identity, proving that he's the world's greatest detective. To that end, he enlists the assistance of some of Arkham Asylum's inmates — Arnold Weskler and Peyton Riley (aka the first and second Ventriloquist), and Victor Zsasz.
Directed by Bryan Nest from a script by Chris Wiltz, Batman: Puppet Master is described as "a film created by fans for fans and it delivers an exciting storyline that will introduce fans to new versions of Mr. Zsasz, The Ventriloquist, and Edward Nigma (aka The Riddler), who fans were expecting to appear in Nolan's third Batman film."
A Missouri man was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison for illegally recording The Dark Knight in a theater and selling the movie on DVD.
U.S. District Judge Fernando J. Gaitan also ordered the defendant, Robert Henderson of Grandview, Missouri, to pay $24,738. The prison sentence will be followed by three years probation.
Henderson pleaded guilty to criminal copyright infringement for using a digital camera to record The Dark Knight on July 18, 2008 — opening day for the Warner Bros. blockbuster. He was caught as part of an investigation by the Motion Picture Association of America.
"This is an appropriate sentence for a very serious crime, and we hope it will serve as a warning to would-be movie thieves that they will face severe consequences for engaging in these activities," Mike Robinson, the MPAA's senior vice president of content protection, said in a press release.
In December, the FBI arrested a New York man suspected of uploading an unfinished edit of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to a file-sharing website for the film's release. Earlier this month 20th Century Fox filed six lawsuits against several dozen people the studio claims sold DVDs containing unfinished versions of the movie.

Distributed interactive simulation (DIS) is a revolutionary development that is changing permanently many features of Defense Department work. The field of warfare modeling and simulation (M&S) is quite large, however, and this paper reviews its evolution and how DIS fits within it. A few things are clear. First, DIS is exceedingly valuable for training. Second, DIS could be a powerful means for improving the quality of planning and analysis if used wisely for occasional well designed experiments. These could 1) provide insights about real-world processes involving human performance and behavior (including decision making), 2) help inform and calibrate models, and 3) help test plans in a quasioperational environment. Third, distributed war gaming, which depends on DIS technology, is already lowering boundaries among developers, planners, and warfighters. This can shorten development processes and improve the results through virtual prototyping; it can also improve operational readiness. To achieve these potential benefits, however, will require a holistic approach, conceptual breakthroughs, and profoundly difficult model development efforts. The challenges include developing integrated hierarchies of models, developing adaptive decision models and other models of human behavior, developing and using new forms of uncertainty-sensitive analysis, and learning how to use DIS experiments effectively

Officials worry about loose pigs' impact on ecosystem after crash springs them loose
About 100 remain on the loose
XENIA TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A semitrailer carrying more than 2,000 pigs overturned Monday evening just outside Xenia, Ohio, killing hundreds of animals and letting even more run loose.
The accident happened at about 7:30 p.m. on U.S. Route 35 near West Main Street, on the west side of Xenia.
Police closed the road and expect it will remain closed for several hours.
Officials said it appears the driver, from South Carolina, went too fast through a curve, causing the semi to roll. He was unharmed, but a passenger was injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment.
About 300 to 400 animals were killed; others took off running.
"They're in the woods, so I don't think we'll ever get all of them -- I really, really don't," Xenia Township Fire Chief Dean Fox said. "We'll try as hard as we can to retrieve all of them, but we probably won't retrieve them all."
Numerous agencies are working to corral the escaped animals, including Greene County deputies, Xenia police, Wilberforce police, Greene County Parks and Recreation officers, local firefighters and volunteers.
"The help from local farmers meant a lot," Fox said. "If we didn't have the farmers here with their livestock trailers, there'd be pigs every place still."
The roughly 1,100 survivors were taken to the Greene County Fairgrounds, where they're were given water and cooled off. They were being hauled to southeast Indiana, where they'll finish being raised and then slaughtered.
But officials with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources are concerned how the pigs that have not yet been recovered could impact the local ecosystem.
One concern is how they could possibly spread disease among local domestic animals.
Brett Beatty, an ODNR wildlife management supervisor, told WCPO that they are working to capture the remaining pigs in the area.
"We estimate about 100 that are still alive and roaming around," Beatty said. "We are concerned about the wildlife... Pigs, once they are released or escape can actually damage and cause problems...and have a very negative impact on fragile ecosystems."
ODNR couldn't confirm how or if they will be able to help try to capture the pigs, but they said they are concerned about the animals.
The recovered pigs have since arrived at their destination in Indiana.

Completely remodeled January 2015, from top to bottom, everything is new. Starting with the enlarged and covered, private, master bedroom balcony, we didn't stop until all rooms were updated. The 'all new' list includes: Appliances, counter tops, plumbing fixtures, reconfigured laundry room, tankless hot water heater, tile, fans and lighting, wainscoting, closet and pantry systems, carpet, paint, and hardware. You've got to see it to believe it!

Fun and Games is located in the highly desirable, family friendly, gated community of Summers Edge in Seagrove Beach. South of Scenic Hwy 30A, the location provides carefree beach and pool access in a bike and pedestrian friendly neighborhood. Located adjacent to the 18 mile bike path running the length of Hwy 30A, bike trips to restaurants, shops, Seaside and Watercolor are a breeze. The neighborhood has 2 beautiful pools (1 heated in cooler months) and a charming dedicated beach access all within 150 yards of the house with no busy streets to cross.
Inside and out, 'Fun and Games' is your perfect beach retreat, ideal for families or couples. The screened front porch with double mahogany doors is the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon chats, and evening cocktails. Inside you will find a Pottery Barn perfect, large great room with double ceiling fans. With room for everyone, enjoy family movie night or choose from the extensive supply of games and start a family game night tradition. The spacious, meticulously stocked, cooks kitchen overlooks the great room so no one is left out. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, ample room for multiple cooks, and a large pantry. The dining room seats 6 comfortably and the large breakfast bar seats 4 more. We have also provided a Weber charcoal grill outdoors for your grilling needs.
The master bedroom makes up the entire second floor, making it your own private retreat. It has an extremely comfortable king sized bed, large walk in closet, personal TV, a beautiful writing desk and a reading chair with ottoman. French doors open on to a private outdoor deck with a bar height table and chairs. The spacious master bath has double sinks and a very large shower. The master retreat is your own special vacation.
The 2 additional charming bedrooms are on the main floor and they share a Jack and Jill bath. The first bedroom has bunk beds with a trundle (3 twins) and a double bed. The closet in this room has been organized to efficiently hold clothes for several children and there is a personal TV. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and a personal TV. The large Jack and Jill bath has double sinks and a bathtub/shower. All bedrooms have personal TVs and ceiling fans.
Additionally, downstairs there is a full laundry room and a separate powder room off the kitchen. One of the couches in the great room is a sofa sleeper if you need additional sleeping space.
Outdoors there is a wonderful, large and private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. It is heavenly on warm days, cool days and even in the rain! Once you try it, you will be hooked.
Seagrove Beach is in the heart of the beautiful 18 mile stretch of the Gulf commonly know as 30A. With its pristine, sugar sand, uncrowded beaches and rare fresh water lakes the area is pure unspoiled Florida, a beach lovers dream and a nature lovers fantasy. There are many authentic beach towns to explore along Scenic Hwy 30A, Seaside, Watercolor, Grayton Beach, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, just to name a few. Outstanding restaurants, unique shops, farmers markets and the friendly locals can keep your non-beach hours full, and I almost forgot to mention free outdoor concerts, free outdoor movies on the lawn, and outdoor plays. Whether you are planning your first trip to Scenic 30A or you have been coming here for years, 'Fun and Games' will be your perfect beach house getaway.
In need of a break from the frigid Chicago spring weather, my husband and I first visited Seaside with our children in 1999. We fell in love with the area instantly. We both felt so at ease and relaxed, the pace was perfect, and the beaches were indescribable. We were hooked and so were our kids, everyone hated to leave and our return trips became a bi-annual necessity. In the spring of 2002 we discovered the new neighborhood of Summers Edge on one of our biking real estate tours and the rest is history. Over 16 years later the feelings are exactly the same, we are still in love with the area, we are completely at ease and relaxed when we are there, we love the pace, and we always still hate to leave. Seagrove Beach on Scenic Hwy 30A is definitely a slice of heaven.
Laurie purchased this house in 2002
We choose Summers Edge for its quaint 'old florida' feel, its wonderful proximity to the beach and Eastern Lake without any busy roads, and its great family feel. We had a few houses to pick from at the time, but my husband knew instantly, the house with the mahogany screen doors and the big, high ceilinged great room would be ours. We named the house 'Fun and Games' because we knew that would represent all the family memories we would make there. It has definitely lived up to its name.
As the original owners, we have always meticulously maintained this house. It is part of our family and always will be. We enjoy sharing it with others so they can create wonderful beach memories as well. We think you find it as pristine as it was in 2002, only now it is full of so many happy times and 'Fun and Games'.
My family had a wonderful time. The house is truly clean and we enjoyed the screened porch. The street is actually quiet and private. I would stay here again. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is we longed for a gas grill as opposed to charcoal. The upstairs master stays warm compared to the rest of the house. All in all it is lovely and clean. We would return to Fun and Games!
Fun & Games is a wonderful home-- in the Summer's Edge community. It is very peaceful as they have done a great job of eliminating the college contingent from the area. The set up is great-- well equipped kitchen with table in its own little area. Kitchen looks out over family room with comfortable couches and seating areas. All 3 bedrooms and bathrooms are wonderful-- tastefully decorated and very comfortable.
Easy access to Seaside or all bike paths, 2 pools and lots of great places to eat and pick up food.
We only had 3 of us but easily could accommodate 6+ people
We would be very happy to return to Fun & Games -- thanks for keeping the house in such wonderful shape
We are a returning guest, and stay 4 weeks. As always Laurie takes a personal interest in the comfort of her guests. The heated pool, short walk to the beach, screened porch for reading all contribute to a comfortable and relaxing stay.
We stayed at Fun and Games the week of July 4th, and had a great time! We have stayed in many homes/condos in the area, and Fun and Games was by far the cleanest most up to date home we have stayed in! The decor is beautiful, and it is fully furnished with everything you need! The full size washer and dryer was a great bonus for our family of 5. We loved the screened in porch, balcony, and outdoor shower! We rented bikes, and rode them daily to the beach or into Seaside. Laurie was a pleasure to work with, and answered all of my questions promptly. Don't hesitate to stay at Fun and Games! You will love it!
We have been vacationing to Seagrove Beach and the other beaches on 30A for over 25 years. Each time we would rent a different place to stay until we found Fun and Games. We loved Fun and Games from the moment we first saw it. This was our 7th stay and it will not be our last. No matter what time of the year we stay we always have a wonderful time. We have spent the holidays at Fun and Games for the past several years and even in the Winter it is amazing. The owners are great to work with and very responsive. The home has recently been renovated with so many upgrades in the kitchen, laundry room, master bedroom closet and new upstairs deck.
We love sitting on the front porch, exploring the other nearby beaches and restaurants. There are so many great things to do here. If you are looking for a family oriented neighborhood that is close to the beach, pool, biking trails and wonderful restaurants, this is the vacation rental for you. Please give it a try - you will not be disappointed.
We just returned from our 3rd (and best) stay at Fun and Games and are missing it already. What keeps bringing us back to this rental?
-As with our past stays, the owners are very responsive and a pleasure to work with.
-The house is nicely appointed with new bathroom/kitchen updates since our last stay. We love sitting on the screened in porch in the morning or evening after a day of adventure on 30A.
-The location of the house is perfect on a quiet street. Close to the beach/pool, a short bike ride to seagrove, seaside, or rosemary beach.
-Wonderful beaches, good restaurants, great area for biking, SUP, fishing, and more.
We hope to be back soon!
Beach chair rentals available directly on the beach.
Several bike/kayak rental companies near by/delivered to your door.
YOLO stand up paddle lessons and rentals avaiable on lakes and ocean.

text: High School Class Valedictorian…College Graduate…Entrepreneur! When you are thinking of today's typical rap superstar, these are phrases that rarely, if ever, come to mind. These phrases, however, only begin to describe the many talents and accomplishments of the self-proclaimed "Future of Hip Hop"…JAY DOLLAR. Two things that always stuck with Jay were his entrepreneurial spirit and his love for music, which is why his dream was to naturally start his own record label. Noticing that today's hip hop fan and artist alike had a unique fascination with the world of drug trafficking, Jay Dollar released the Lyrical Dope Mixtape Series under his BluffRock Entertainment which compared his fans' addiction to his songs and lyrics to that of a drug addiction. "Living in the environment that I did, having the type of people around me that I did, and having the type of parents I have helped me to be the artist I am today," says Jay Dollar. "I made straight A's in school during the day and hung out with drug dealers and gang members at night. I've witnessed both sides of the struggle and that has helped me to speak on several different topics from several different angles unlike the majority of rappers that are out right now. That is why I am the future of hip hop!" With his unique wordplay, creative metaphors, and insightful view on the world, Jay Dollar makes for an extremely exciting and fresh new MC to look out for. With his tenacity, uncanny mind for business, and undeniable determination, Jimmy Hicks, Jr. makes for one hell of a record executive. When you put the two together, Jay Dollar and BluffRock Entertainment will definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
This classic book on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity has been updated to present theoretical concepts in a concise and straightforward manner with the increase of hands-on, practical applications. This new edition comes with Gradiance, an online assessment tool developed for computer science.
Gradiance is the most advanced online assessment tool developed for the computer science discipline. With its innovative underlying technology, Gradiance turns basic homework assignments and programming labs into an interactive learning experience for students. By using a series of "root questions" and hints, it not only tests a student's capability, but actually simulates a one-on-one teacher-student tutorial that allows for the student to more easily learn the material. Through the programming labs, instructors are capable of testing, tracking, and honing their students' skills, both in terms of syntax and semantics, with an unprecedented level of assessment never before offered.--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

As near as I can tell, the big improvement in the 3rd edition over the 2nd is the inclusion of some online practice problems. If your class isn't going to be using these, can you save money by going with the older copy.
Things like Context Free languages and grammar are used readily in things like XML and its accompanying standards such as the DTD. So, it makes sense to update a classic text to include such topics and further illustrate to the reader that what once was a theory is now center stage of Computer Science and the IT industry as a whole.
The text starts with the classics such as an introduction to automata theory followed by languages. The authors have taken a more relaxed approach to the topics as the proofs are less formal and easier to follow. Plain text is usually used to informally proof the topic at hand, and the authors go into a more formal approach on selected proofs. This is definitely a better approach than the other texts in the same topic that proofs are center stage of the discussion and the reader gets lost early on in the process. The text is easy to read for students, and easy to explain for the instructors. I remember when I took theory of Computation for my graduate work proofs were so convoluted and difficult to read that I had to spend many of nights trying to understand what the instructor was talking about in the class.
As one would expect, the book then goes into Turning Theory and Machine with the concept to computability and complexity. Well, the good news is that the authors' approach to the topic does not change; lots of explaining of the basics followed by a more detailed formal approach to the topic. All I need to say is that I wish my text was this reader friendly! Chapter 8, Introduction to Turing Machines, sets the ground work for the rest of the text. It explains reducibility and more importantly how to reduce a problem, something I have never seen in any other text in such detail! Automata and its relation to Turing Machine is depicted in detail, so there is no gap between the topics. What is interesting is that the authors close the loop with actually talking about, for example the Halting problem, in the real world with a program.
As one would expect, different classes of problems are explored in detail with many examples (theory and real-world examples) that accompany the topic at hand. Each chapter ends with a summary of topics discussed followed by a set of exercises. There are also a number of exercises at the end of each section in a given chapter in order to reel-in the topic for the reader.
All and all, this is one great text on automata and computation theory. It is easy to read and follow for the students without the loss of content. The authors relate abstract concepts to real-world examples to further illustrate the importance of the topic at hand.
All in all, it's a good introduction to these concepts. I give it 4 stars because some proofs could have been easier, but this is not a big problem. The P and NP classes of problems are wonderfully explained. We are speaking about a book every computer scientist out there should have on his/her shelf. Those who consider this book extremely hard and difficult is because of their lack of fundamental knowledge in computer science. Of course, this is not the first book you should read on the subject. But be assured, this book will give you what it promises: a good knowledge about languages theory, indecidibility and intractability of problems.
Here is my evaluation of the books on this subject:
1. (A+) Theory of Computation: Formal Languages, Automata, and Complexity by J. Glenn Brookshear
2. (A) Formal Language: A Practical Introduction by Adam Brooks Webber
3. (A-) Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines (Automatic Computation) (Automatic Computation) by Marvin Minsky
4. (B+) Computability, Complexity, and Languages, Second Edition: Fundamentals of Theoretical Computer Science (Computer Science and Scientific Computing), Second Edition: Fundamentals of Theoretical Computer Science (Computer Science and Scientific Computing) 2nd Edition ( Hardcover ) by Davis, Martin; Sigal, Ron; Weyuker, Elaine J. pulished by Morgan Kaufmann (Computer Science and Scientific Computing) by Davis, Sigal, and Weyuker
5. (B+) Automata Theory with Modern Applications by James A. Anderson
6. (C-) Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley series in computer science) (Addison-Wesley series in computer science) by Hopcroft and Ullman
I haven't used their online resources, and I didn't do many problems from this book, because the professor teaching the course came up with problems of his own. However, from what I've seen, they have a very reasonable collection of problems suited for self-study. Every well established field has a list of standard problem, and Language Theory is no exception. The problems in this book certainly cover most of the standard ones. Please, also be aware that although this book is a good read, it is not necessary an easy read - be prepared to invest considerable amount of time into this book.
I cannot give this book 5 stars simply because I do not think it is much better than previous editions. As a matter of fact, I think it is worse. I did not have a very close look at previous editions, but I know for a fact that they were more rigorous and formal and covered more topics. As a result of that, they were less suited for teaching an introductory course, but some of the topics they studied there are really nice. From what I've heard about previous editions though, it seems that they described several open problems, that are no longer open. So I'd suggest getting this new edition, simply because it has more contemporary information.
Some people write in their review that this book requires solid background in the area it covers. I respectfully disagree - I had little to none background in Language Theory and Complexity Theory prior to taking this course and (consequently) starting to read this book; however, I did very well in the course and enjoyed it very much. Of course, I was lucky to have an excellent professor teaching that course. If good books came with good professors that would be a killer package, but unfortunately they don't.
I have not read any other books in this field, so I have nothing to compare with, but all in all, for me it worked great and if you have a good professor and are passionate about the subject, I'm sure this book won't be a miss.

Apr 30, 2016I love the attempt to this, but unfortunately, overusing profanity doesn't make a movie look laughable. It spoofs big-time stuff like Star Wars, Scooby-Doo, etc., it looks so beautiful, and it still couldn't work at all. A movie for basic teenagers.
FrankB.Mar 3, 2002This was one of the WORST movies I have seen. I rented the DVD and turned it off half way through. I am a big fan of stupid humor movies, but this one sucked. Dumb and Dumber, American Pie, Something About Mary are all 10's in my mind, but using the F-word every 3 seconds isn't enough to put Jay and Bob in the same league.
BobI.Aug 10, 2002Okay well this movie was crap...accept for the part with ben affleck and matt damon about good will hunting 2 because that was hilarious...and the word cock wasnt said once in that time frame. other than that it was crap because i mean who cock must have been said 50 times! so...it gets a 3 only because matt damon and ben affleck were reallllly funny.
MikoMar 30, 2006Kevin Smith's first bad film. Shoddily pasted together from a confusing selection of aimless, dull, and only vaguely related scenes, this pointless mess is irritatingly smirky and self-deprecating. Just not worth it for the two to three faintly amusing moments.
GabeT.Mar 9, 2002Remember "Clerks"? Remember the foul-mouthed, pot smoking, irritating Jay, who hung out at the convenient store and bothered everyone? Well, imagine 90 minutes spent with him, and you have "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."
KampoAug 5, 2002This was one of the crappiest movies ever. I wish two dumbass stoner dudes intercepted its making and prevented this hour and a half of garbage from ever hitting my eyes. If Jay and Silent Butt were real, I'd definately kick both their asses!
JonathonW.Dec 7, 2003Absolutely terrible. Smith's insulting of the great film Magnolia for "using studio money to deal with personal issues", followed by his making of this film shows him for what he is: a complete hypocrite.
RyanM.Aug 26, 2001An absolute waste of time for anyone who had anything to do with the making of it, for anyone who went to see it, and for anyone who has a brain in their head. I was actually anticipating this film (because Jay and Bob are so hilarious in Smith's other films), but now I know never to listen to a trailer.
BeercanJan 12, 2005Finally breaks the reliable chain of every odd-numbered Kevin Smith film not being one of the worst films of the year.
Awards & Rankings
It's gratifying to see a comedy can have no redeeming social value yet be full of hearty laughs.
The movie is sloppy and scattershot, and proud of it. It wears its slipshod, anything-for-a-laugh structure like a badge of honor: Smith is nothing if not self-deprecating.
Whether you will like Jay and Silent Bob depends on who you are. Most movies are made for everybody. Kevin Smith's movies are either made specifically for you, or specifically not made for you.

Sales linguistic expert Steve W. Martin reveals, in the Harvard Business Review, the results of a fascinating study of the commonalities present in high-performance salespeople. His findings are the result of extensive analysis of more than 1,000 salespeople across the country. Those achieving 125 percent of their prior-year sales goal were considered high achievers, and it's their common traits that give us insight into both the attributes to seek in the hiring process and the qualities to nurture on the job.
Dr. Stephanie Storgion has been named chair of the department of physician assistant studies at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Storgion's appointment comes as the department moves to the College of Medicine from the College of Health Professions, where it started two years ago.
If you thought we had turned a corner from the days of "Take This Job and Shove It," think again. According to a recent State of the American Workplace Report, seven in 10 U.S. workers don't like their job. Even more disturbing, only 13 percent of employees across the globe are engaged at work.
The Memphis Chapter of the American Marketing Association has announced the chapter's 2016-2017 board of directors, which includes four new members. All terms took effect July 1.
Mary Stratton, director of marketing at Power & Tel, will lead the chapter as president, and Wendy-Sumner Winter, senior director of communications and marketing at Christian Brothers University, will serve as president-elect.
It's no secret that quality of life among team members leads to higher retention and satisfaction. Sales rep satisfaction is directly linked to customer satisfaction, and both impact your bottom line.
Your website is a first look into your company. It's a reflection of your company's culture as well as your leadership. But simply having a website isn't enough. It must have a purpose – and if that purpose doesn't yield measurable results, this could be the first sign that your website no longer fits the needs of your company.
The study of content popularity dates back to Aristotle in 350 B.C., who was curious about what makes for a persuasive, memorable speech that would ensure his message was passed from person to person. His conclusion was ethos, pathos and logos – meaning content should have an ethical, emotional and logical appeal. Modern studies indicate this initial thinking is still relevant today.
We have all heard the sentiment that successful CEOs must spend sufficient time focused "on the business," not just operating "in the business." As CEOs, we often get so far into the weeds of operating our respective businesses that we rarely take a concerted step back to think strategically about the direction of our companies.
It seems 2015 was a big year for new logos. Several companies, including IHOP, OpenTable, Turner Broadcasting, Spike TV and Google made some sort of change last year.
There are a lot of reasons a company may want to change their current logo. Many times the current logo just isn't getting the job done. Sometimes businesses outgrow their logo and need a refresh to make sure they are sending the right message to their customers.
Do you struggle to pinpoint exactly what makes your top sales performers excel? While common, this challenge can make it impossible to consistently recruit high performers. It also makes it difficult to translate those qualities into training for other salespeople on your team that would allow your organization to more quickly scale.
The service industry just isn't what it used to be. Mediocre is the norm, and attention to detail seems all but lost in this fast-paced world. That's why companies that actually deliver on what they say they will, when they say they will, stand a breed apart.
Today, you can buy almost anything on subscription, including dog toys from BarkBox, razors from Dollar Shave Club, streaming video content from Netflix, music from Spotify, beauty samples from Birchbox, ready-to-make meals from Blue Apron and even rental cars from Zipcars.
I find myself inspired today by a book, recommended by a colleague, called The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey. You are probably familiar with Covey's father, who wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Correctly analyzed, data can be a catalyst for predictable, incremental growth and transformative change in your organization. However, we all know there's more to creating measurable outcomes through data analysis than just crunching the numbers.
A "company-wide sales culture." Every CEO and business owner dreams of it, but few realize it. It is where everyone in the organization plays some role in supporting sales and growth efforts, though roles will vary.
In "Blink: The Power to Think Without Thinking," acclaimed author Malcolm Gladwell addresses first impressions. His book doesn't come from the angle of how to make great first impressions – a genuine smile, firm handshake, pressed clothing and all those tips we've turned into habits over the years.
Getting a meeting with C-level decision makers is no easy task, but it can be done. As with any true success, it all starts with doing your homework.
First, target the right organizations. Make a list of 10 to 20 companies that would make an ideal customer. Once you do, you will want to spend some time researching those businesses. Use any online resource you can, from the website to social media to business journals.
In the world of sales, we are conditioned to live life by the month. We are driven by monthly sales goals and monthly paychecks. But when we don't take time to create a plan of attack at the start of each month, we are workhorses rather than stagecoach drivers. We work reactively instead of proactively. We allow our sales pipelines to control us and ultimately find ourselves spending the last week of the month scrambling to close business and meet targets.
Five games left for the Grizzlies to win three and then get to play more in the NBA playoffs. And what seemed to be a foregone conclusion is now not such a sure thing based on the Grizz performance in Sunday's 119-107 loss to the Orlando Magic in Orlando.
You know you've made it when you can throw a birthday party that draws guests like an NBA star in addition to a variety of high-powered business leaders.
Later this week, RedRover Sales & Marketing Strategy is hosting an invitation-only bash at FedExForum that will include a meet-and-greet session with Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen. In addition to networking opportunities with the business crowd on hand, the firm will also give an early peek at its revamped website launching this month and will toast the release of CEO Lori Turner-Wilson's new book, "WOOF! Why Ordinary Organizations Fail."
Business owners, marketing professionals and sales professionals – those that carry perhaps the greatest responsibility for driving company growth – are collectively facing a potentially catastrophic time epidemic.
Being a business professional is much like being a rock star. If you make great music, your audience is going to like you. However, if you give them much more than just the music – such as an engaging performance – chances are, they are going to love you. How does this apply in the business world?
We live in a world of stiff competition with so much noise competing for consumer attention that it can be painfully difficult for brands to get noticed and stand apart from their competition.
That's why the lion's share of brands simply settle for being ordinary. It's just easier. As football coaching legend Lou Holtz said, "In this world you're either growing or you're dying, so get in motion and grow."
Public relations is a great way for a small business to raise awareness. But when business owners put together marketing plans, they usually think advertising, not public relations.
Why? We see advertising everywhere we look. It's top of mind. Not a lot of thought goes into the fact that PR drives many of the articles you read or stories you see on the evening news.
If you don't bend, you'll break. We've all heard that saying before, but it's increasingly true for sales teams.
21st century prospects can research services, compare brands and read reviews online before they ever reach out to you directly – and they almost always do their homework. By the time you're fielding a phone call, your prospect is almost always ready to make a quick purchasing decision. Your prospect knows what they want, and they believe you can deliver the goods.
There can be many reasons that a company's growth stalls – from competitive pressure to a rising cost of goods to the changing needs of the marketplace. The common thread among all of these challenges – and what's really driving the stall – is the lack of a growth mindset among employees and leadership.
I've always cringed when I get a calendar request with "Brainstorm" in the subject line. Immediately, I picture an unfocused free-for-all – after which nothing happens. But it's a marketer's mainstay, and there's a right way to do it.
You likely haven't gotten to where you are today with a "head in the sand" approach to managing your business. When it comes to crisis communications, busy executives sometimes neglect to plan against all that could go wrong.
The Super Bowl is the biggest advertising competition of the year. Brands that win big can reap the viral benefits for months to come. And those that fail do so publicly, oftentimes with mounting consumer criticism that can take just as long to overcome.
History has already been made at this year's Super Bowl of advertising – thanks to a record price tag of $5 million for a 30-second spot. It's a hefty spike from the $4.5 million advertisers ponied up last year, but it didn't slow CBS from nearly selling all of its big-game ad time by last November.

As the new year draws closer, it's an ideal time to reflect on this past year's marketing strategies – those where you hit it out of the park, as well as those where you may have struck out. This honest self-reflection on historical performance is the key to continuous improvement and the development of a solid 2016 strategic marketing plan. Equally important is the ability to look ahead to marketing trends on the horizon that will or already are impacting your company's growth.
These days, most buyers engage in significant online research before they ever consider speaking with sales professionals. Today's buyers are further along in the sales process, with a much clearer understanding of what they need, before your sales team ever says a word.
One out of every three professionals on the planet is on LinkedIn and that includes a whopping 60 percent of Memphis-area professionals. That's why, if you sell to other businesses or B2B, LinkedIn has the power to transform your company.
Memphis International Airport has a new website bringing easier navigation, better mobile capability, new features and an enhanced design to those looking to travel to and from Memphis.
Visitors to flymemphis.com will be able to plan routes and book tickets directly from the site's comprehensive list of nonstop flights. Memphis International carriers like Frontier, Allegiant and Southwest do not list flights with aggregator services.
Institute training. This is number six of 14 key points W. Edwards Demings offers managers to improve effectiveness in an organization.
Demings is the father of the modern quality movement and is best known for helping Japan rise out of the ashes of WWII to become a major industrial power, and for his belief that 94 percent of workplace problems are caused by management. In his landmark (though now dated) book "Out of the Crisis," Demings poignantly states, "We have neglected this extremely important function to the extent that too many Western workers do not know how to do their jobs." It's become an epidemic dragging down companies across our nation.
Have you empowered your sales and marketing pros to lead?
Leadership isn't a title or a salary range. And I bet every one of your employees is capable of leading.
The trick is to allow their different leadership tendencies to benefit your business. There are seven tendencies, which you can read about more in the Harvard Business Review's piece on the Seven Transformations of Leadership.
"Is greatness born – or is it made?"
It's an age-old question, but in my view, greatness can be made – especially in sales. While sales skills can be taught, the learning curve is shorter for candidates with two key character traits: empathy and drive.
Company culture can make or break a sales team. Sales leaders have seen promising sales representatives start off strong, then plateau and ultimately burn out more times than they can count. Tough days of rejection in the field are challenging to overcome and are major contributors to the high attrition rate associated with sales positions.
Now more than ever, the line between the marketing department and the sales team has been blurred. Marketing teams are connecting tech-savvy customers with the information they most want to know about your brand, essentially taking on those crucial, early phases of the client lifecycle.
Most companies have historically used marketing to drive brand awareness and generate sales leads, relying on seasoned sales teams to close these deals by identifying the prospect's needs, recommending strategic solutions and creating a sense of urgency.
Perhaps Benjamin Franklin summarized a major business challenge best: "When you're finished changing, you're finished."
Hiring sales talent is tricky, as it can be difficult to distinguish between those who are merely strong at interviewing and those who will actually be strong on the job. Why?
Sales people are particularly good at reading people and delivering the desired response. The trick is to peel back the onion during an interview to ensure you are getting an unfiltered view of each candidate, which can be done by combining two techniques.
Is the next generation of salespeople heading toward extinction?
Former IBM president Thomas Watson was known for saying, "Nothing happens until a sale is made." We saw that truth painfully realized during the 2007-09 recession. According to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as demand plummeted, approximately 1.6 million sales jobs were cut across multiple industries.
When I began my career in marketing more than 20 years ago, measurement was straightforward. We simply monitored revenue growth and our marketing expense, making assumptions about how the two might be correlated.
Many sales managers want to be leaders, but they have trouble motivating their team to willingly follow them. While they see themselves as a leader, others don't. What makes others willing to follow you as a leader? How can you move beyond management, and make yourself stand out?
While the youngest millennials may still be 18, many of them are in their late 20s or even mid-30s now.
Despite the fact that most of "Generation Selfie" has fully entered adulthood, at least according to their birthdates, many millennials still haven't reached the traditional milestones that were important for their parents.
The goal of business development is to create strategic business relationships, which drive revenue and help a company grow.
Even the most seasoned business development pros often confuse business development with sales. Our sights become so focused on closing a deal that we miss critical opportunities to gain the trust we need to win that new business. You can reach low-hanging fruit quickly and easily, but reaching prime coconuts requires more effort.
Consultative selling is a discovery-based approach that puts the sales professional in the enviable role of partner or adviser versus the stereotypical pushy rep looking to close a deal at any cost.
Curiosity may have killed the cat – but in sales, curiosity can almost always close the deal.
Questions are a powerful tool in the sales process, but if you're only using questions to identify your prospect's needs at the beginning of the sales process, you may be missing key opportunities. If you're not integrating questions from start to finish, you may not catch possibilities for cross-selling and up-selling – and you might as well be trying to overcome objections blindfolded.
Thomas Watson, president of IBM in the 1950's, insightfully declared, "Nothing happens until a sale is made." A company's sales effort is the ultimate driver of organizational growth. It is the most critical function within any company and requires advanced training and intestinal fortitude for success.
The world's best salespeople excel at asking engaging questions and actively listening to a prospect's response without interruption. They master the art of posing high-impact questions that generate insightful responses, which offer a glimpse into a prospect's decision-making process, competitors also under consideration, the likelihood of purchase, or even the factors that will be weighed most heavily by decision makers.
LinkedIn, the world's largest social media platform specifically targeting the business community, has grown to roughly 350 million users in 2015 according to Statista. And businesses have taken note with more than 4 million of them flocking to create company pages in order to tap into this critical mass of business professionals.
Unless you have more sales from ideal customers than you know what to do with, your organization can benefit from sales measurement strategies. They allow you to not only forecast future sales but also to dissect your team's success through each step of the sales cycle in order to fine-tune your approach and improve results.
Far too many companies look to past growth as the single best predictor of future growth in setting annual revenue targets with little analysis of the factors driving that past progress, anticipated market shifts over the coming year, and the predictability of the sales and marketing strategies built into their annual plan. It is a goal-setting process with a high likelihood for failure caused by either unrealistically high goals or those which aren't nearly aggressive enough.
Numerous studies support the fact that companies that excel at aligning their marketing and sales efforts enjoy significantly higher revenue growth. A best-in-class strategy for creating such cohesion is the regular development of a business dashboard.
Teamwork. Every highly successful team gets just how important it is to propelling an organization forward. When true teamwork exists, all players are in lockstep.
Just like in sports, every player must be consistently in sync in each play for a maximum result. And the proverbial chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Roughly 75 million strong, millennials are on a course to soon surpass their baby boomer parents as our nation's largest living generation. This generation, also known as Gen Y, was born between 1981 and the early 2000s, and they are beginning to wield great influence in their professional roles.
The old adage, "nothing happens until a sale is made," couldn't be truer. And for many a start-up, identifying a predictable, repeatable sales process that ensures needed sales targets are always met, can seem like the Holy Grail – enticing but ever illusive.
For most businesses, especially those selling to other businesses (or B2B), there is no more efficient way to generate new business than through referrals from existing happy customers. "Pre-selling" has occurred, which means there is already built-in trust, which inevitably shortens the sales cycle. Plus, there is typically little, if any, hard cost in that new customer acquisition.
Take a moment to think of someone you know who is confident and fast to adapt in the moment, someone who routinely performs well under pressure and who has an uncanny ability to deftly counterbalance risks and rewards in an instant to make a smart decision.
In the Internet search world, Google is clearly king and marketing professionals across the globe give this tech giant the lion's share of their search marketing attention. Every time Google makes a change to its infamous algorithm, search engine marketers scramble to assess the impact and adjust their strategies.
Partnering with a brand spokesperson is a strategy for giving a larger voice to your message and allowing the positive feelings the market has for that spokesperson to transfer over to your brand.
A brand spokesperson could be someone in the business community, someone with social clout or even a local/national celebrity.
Memphis International Airport is ready for a little grit-n-grind.
Airport officials announced Thursday a three-year marketing partnership and business sponsorship with the Memphis Grizzlies worth more than $500,000. In a separate deal, Tony Allen will become an official airport spokesperson for one year.
I knew from the age of 7 that marketing was my destiny as I embarked on my first moneymaking venture, but I hadn't really reflected, until recently, on the combination of forces that in all likelihood nudged me down that path.
Greater Memphis Chamber will host a Lunch in the Know on Wednesday, April 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Baptist Memorial Health Care Medical Plaza B, 6027 Walnut Grove Road. RedRover and Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority representatives will present "A Better MEM in in Progress," discussing the airport's future and new marketing strategy. Cost is free for chamber members. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your business is at all dependent upon Google search results for generating leads, then mark your calendars for April 21, 2015. On this day, Google plans to dramatically shake up the way it delivers search results to its users by shifting emphasis toward mobile-friendly websites. If your site isn't mobile optimized, your ranking could decline radically, and your business could suffer.
Why do so many great organizations struggle with change? After all, "the only thing that is constant is change," according to Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and the sentiment couldn't be truer today.
This friend of mine – we'll call him Luke – told an interesting story recently.
He was considering hiring a lawn care service, and his eye was on a particular company. Then a competitor offered a deal that gave him $10 off each of his first five applications. Luke was now also considering the competitor.
Facebook is a platform that has more than 1.39 billion monthly active users that, in theory, can be accessed for free. Seems like a no-brainer for businesses to be on board with a presence on the social media site.
The recent news that Google is reorganizing Google Plus probably only registered on the radars of hardcore social media users and marketing professionals.
It is unclear what is going on over at Google with regard to Google Plus and what it will become with the reported switch to Google Photos and Streams. Frankly, many consumers just haven't been clear on how best to use the product since its launch more than three years ago.
A few years ago when speaking to the Vancouver Board of Trade, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz talked about the need for companies to use social media to build a "reservoir of trust" rather than just to sell more products.
The press release was written with no mistakes, explaining all the virtues of your company's remarkable product. It was sent to all the newspapers and TV stations, and you even managed to send it to select radio stations and bloggers.
A key to sales success is identifying the prospect's needs. But that knowledge doesn't mean much if the potential relationship lacks a foundation of trust.
Smart buyers are generally willing to consider the guidance of salespeople provided trust has been established first. If a prospect trusts the seller, the first – and arguably hardest – step to success has been achieved. But how do you build trust with a prospect?
In a perfect marketing world, consumers would trust what a company is selling, believing in the maxim "You get what you pay for."
But trusting a brand's word is no longer the final say in consumer decisions. Consumers increasingly are turning to social media and user-generated review sites to make purchasing decisions.
Best Beaches, Best Luxury Hotels, Top 10 Islands to Visit, Top 10 Cities for Kids, Top Five Destinations for Seafood – travel lists can be so exhausting.
The latest that has come my way is Hotels.com's compilation of the most popular domestic destinations for Americans in 2014. Memphis made its debut on the list, squeaking in at No. 50. Here's to Memphians demanding a recount and getting the Bluff City ranked higher next time.
Think there was only one big game on Super Bowl Sunday? A typical NFL game has only 11 minutes of actual "game action" compared to 63 minutes of commercials, according to The Wall Street Journal. With 30 seconds of commercial airtime going for $4.5 million this year, it is clear that Super Bowl advertising is serious business, making for an equally interesting off-the-field game unfolding when the clock stops.
Regardless of what happens on the field, history will be made at this year's Super Bowl of advertising – starting with a record price tag of $4.5 million for a 30-second spot, a significant spike from the $4 million advertisers forked over last year.
Architects, lawyers, engineers, accountants and consultants: I am betting you didn't get into the professional services field because you have a natural affinity for sales. It is more likely that the mere thought of selling makes your stomach turn a bit and, as a result, you probably make very little time for it.
Those in sales inevitably face stall tactics designed to prevent prospects from either having to make a decision or having to tell you no. It can be one of the most challenging of the sales objections, because the root cause of the stall is often not directly or immediately known.
2015 marketing trend reports are a dime a dozen this time of year, though in reality many focus on fads, which by definition, have fleeting popularity. Fads are for gamblers. Marketing trends, on the other hand, are generally slower building, longer lasting and ideally a result of factual supporting data. As such, the RedRover Sales & Marketing team is predicting these 10 marketing trends worthy of consideration in your 2015 marketing strategy.
Change is hard for most people, but only through change can we grow. The New Year is the perfect time to take a hard look at what worked in your sales approach and what didn't deliver for you in 2014, to break ineffective sales habits, and to resolve to adjust your approach.
It was a year of massive change at Memphis International Airport with continued cuts from the dominant airline there, new or increased service from other carriers and the beginnings of a concourse modernization plan to craft a cozier, more customer-friendly Concourse.
Much like the old adage that we only use 10 percent of our brains, you may fall into the camp of LinkedIn users leveraging less than a tenth of what this robust business-networking platform has to offer.
When you shop Amazon for a product and then see that same product in a Facebook ad days later, it is certainly not a coincidence. It is a marketing strategy called ad retargeting, and it is dominating online advertising.
Social media can be an effective marketing channel and the cost to entry – the hard cost that is – is relatively low. Consider, though, your annual salary multiplied by the number of hours you and your team spend on social media each year, and you will no doubt want to ensure that you are getting the most out of that significant time investment by avoiding these common missteps.
The explosion of the Internet and the ensuing 24/7 news cycle combined with a significant reduction in reporting staff at most media outlets over the past decade has created a perfect storm driving a significant shift in public relations (PR) tactics that are effective and worth your time. If you are still deploying any of these tactics, make it your 2015 resolution to better invest your time for a better result.
The average consumer typically has at least one mobile device within arm's reach at any given time throughout the day. Our growing dependency on these devices has increased the opportunity for marketers to reach targeted consumers with greater immediacy than ever before via text marketing.
2014 marked the first year that mobile Internet usage surpassed desktop, which is no doubt why a recent Forrester Research study predicts sales from consumers shopping on mobile phones will increase to $38 billion this year.
In sales, as in life, many a person throws in the towel after failure, not realizing that failure is actually an inevitable outcome of the innovative. Thomas Edison is reported to have had more than 1,000 failures before finally inventing a practical electric light bulb. Aptly, he said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
