Skip to comments.Your Baby Can Read Company Going out of Business
Posted on 07/16/2012 11:35:40 AM PDT by reaganaut1Edited on 07/16/2012 11:40:25 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
The company that persuaded hundreds of thousands of parents to buy Your Baby Can Read products is going out of business, citing the high cost of fighting complaints alleging its ads were false.
Your Baby Can LLC announced the decision on its website.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
If it keeps one baby from learning to read, it's worth it.
For those who find Hooked on Phonics just too hard.
My grandson learned to read by the time he was 15 months old, using Your Baby Can Read. When he was two, he could read every word in his vocabulary and some that were not even in his vocabulary, like "Chimpanzee".
I took him to a little zoo when he was 15 months old and pointed to the pig barn, which was labeled, "Pigs" and he told me what it said. I also tested him with flash cards and he was actually able to read them.
Do they have a program to teach my dog to read?
A much simpler business model would be "Yo Chile Ignerint".
Easily designed curriculum, minimal study time.. send money
and we can assure that at a minimum... Yo Chile Ignerint.
I missed my calling in marketing, tell you what.
I used similar techniques (in an earlier decade) to teach my child to recognize colors at age 4 months and to read independently by age 3. While the other parent and all four grandparents scoffed, he skipped a grade and remained a top-notch student all the way through the doctorate, in spite of several family tragedies and upheavals that statistically are found more often in kids who fail.
If you can read, you can learn or solve many other fields and problems. If you can't read, everything is a struggle.
It is probable that the complainants expected to open a package, sneer at the instructions and have magic happen with no effort. Losers. To try to get paid off for it is evil.
Gov't agencies love to protect us from such evil entrepreneurs, while potential terrorists walk across our borders daily.
Hooked on Phonics doesn't work on babies. Your baby can read does.
The problem that a lot of people have with the Your baby can read program is that they allow the child to watch other tv. My daughter never turned the tv on during the day for her son.
Now that's something that would interest me. LOL.
Actually, it's more likely that your child was an outlier. The majority of kids cannot read at such an early age no matter how much chest thumping you do. It's not the parents' fault as so many would love to believe here. It's not for lack of trying, it's just a fact.
These ads were clearly false.
My aunt learned to read at 4 while looking at the book as my grandfather read her stories. They later found she had a genius-level IQ. She used to read calculus books for enjoyment!
I'm waiting for "Your Baby Can Do Analytical Calculus."
"Your Baby Can LLC"
hmmm... your baby can form business entities?
Agreed! If you don't do another thing for your child's education, you give them a great gift by instilling the ability and love for reading and open up a whole world of possibilities within their reach.
You should definitely punish your children severely, if they don't read by age 2. That's good parenting.
Your baby can do seal training. Either the SEAL type of silent infiltration and killing or seal tricks of balancing a ball on his nose and catching a fish in mid-air would be cool.
I certainly attribute the YBCR program in large part to our 4 year old granddaughter's ability to read so well.
I've never used it for my kids or granddaughter. I'm a believer that children should learn to read the old-fashioned, phonetic way.
I think dogs can "read". I watched Dogs Decoded and there was a dog who could look at a picture of a toy and then go into another room and bring that toy back. That is just a step away from reading. If the toy had a word on it, like "ball" and then they would gradually fade out the outline and color, I believe the dog would be able to look at the word "ball" and go choose the ball from among the other toys. My son was reading the newspaper when he was a year old and I had never really "taught" him to read. He picked it up from road signs, store signs, his alphabet blocks, etc. I don't know that there was any huge advantage in it though.
Woohoo! Go, Texans!
Well, I guess my cat was an outlier, too; I used the same techniques to teach her hundreds of concepts. She got to choose her own supper and treat flavor preferences, could count to four, and would answer commands to go back into the house or jump into her basket to be brushed, etc. Mammals learn through love and encouragement.
I believe in the potentials of all children and know that many more can be taught much better than they are currently being taught. If you haven't seen the wonderful movie Stand and Deliver about the real life of the hispanic ghetto educator Jaime Escalante, do yourself a favor and rent it.
Also, the books of Jane Goodall and Temple Grandin are very insightful. Both learned to communicate and understand other mammal species, which has led to greater insight of some of the underlying ways humans communicate.
"Do they have a program to teach my dog to read?"
Leashed on Phonics is a good program. What kind of dog is it? You will have to check on the dialect.
Great job, Mom!! I totally agree!
See post 24 -- "Your Ghetto High School Kid Can Do Analytical Calculus."
With a good lawyer....yeah........
I may have to rethink the new business venture I was about to launch: "Your Baby Can Drive."
The government/education mafia claims another victim.
All babies are born with the innate ability to do analytical calculus. It's just that they forget how by the time they learn to write standard notation.
Obama promises that if he is re-elected, it will be "Your Baby Can Fly."
Our #2 son learned to read about that age, and in the same way. When he moved from his crib to a bed, I'd lay down with him and read until he fell asleep. I'd point to the words as I read them, and before I knew it, he was reading all on his own.
On a family trip, a few months before he turned 4, we were traveling with hubby's sister and b-i-l, and trading drivers as we rode through the night. At one point, b-i-l was driving our car while hubby was driving the little bus his sister's family was using. I slept in the back seat of our car, and #2 son was in his booster seat in the front seat with my b-i-l. A few hours later, when we stopped for breakfast, b-i-l asked, "Did you know David could read?" I said sure, and asked how he knew. He said that David read all the highway signs for him as he drove down I-81! ;o)
Isn't private enterprise wonderful? if there is a problem, the public solved it.
Why can't this be applied to government?
That is a totally serious question!
Any mammal except politicians...
"Aye, tis' troof."
- A. Wheaten Terrier
That's fraud, dude!
You can't sell training to people to be what they already are.
The first time your baby asks you to explain any provocative billboard in a major metropolitan area, you will reconsider the entire enterprise.
Some babies are smarter than others. Also, many young parents cannot actually .... well ... read. So, they haven't a prayer of using the program.
That be capitalism.
I sent my kid to the Evelyn Woodhead Sped Reedin Korse.
The idea and logic of "your baby CAN read" (not 'will', definitely, just 'can') is built on a few already achieved understandings about human language skills.
Humans - infants and children - have language skills earlier than do they have the skill to speak - which involves certain physical changes and mastery of the voice, not just 'mental' ability.
Humans are able to learn and recognize the meaning of sounds communicated to them - "NO!!!!" - much sooner than they can speak. Mastery of understanding what is meant by a spoken word demonstrates that the skill to recognize an idea through symbols is already there (symbolism - a sound we make in speech is but a sound-symbol for an idea).
Humans can identify symbols that they are taught are attached to either words (sounds) or ideas, earlier than they can speak. It has been shown that "baby's" ARE able to learn a small dictionary of symbols from "American Sign Language" earlier than they they will speak. (in the last five years, babies among my relatives have done so).
So, both symbols and sounds can be learned and applied (by the human brain) for communication in a time frame that is possible to achieve before the ability to speak takes hold.
It is certainly "possible", with training (when the spelling of the word "cat" is always shown along with the image of a cat and the sound of the word cat), and "reading ability" (recognizing the word symbols identified with an image) to begin (rudimentary) even before normal speech does.
Regardless, the obviously well funded advocacy group that filed the complaint with the FTC had deep enough pockets to damage the finances of the company. Too bad.
I was thinking of, "Your Baby Can Make Up Words That Only He Understands."
Thank you for your post 21. Sorry to be so tardy in responding. I just now signed back on again.
That's a fascinating story about the dog "reading" an instruction. They are fascinating creatures, aren't they? Our two provide Mrs. OP and me with enormous pleasure. I cannot imagine a world without them.
"A much simpler business model would be Yo Chile Ignerint."
Too late, public schools have been working that one for years.

I found (La)TeX when I was finishing my undergrad studies, and love it since. Recently, I start using it more frequently, since I'm doing my Ph.D. And I'm overwhelm with all the possibilities it offers.
I like to visit this site because always I learn something new about (La)TeX.

"Ben Shapiro has a great new book out called "Bullies: How the Left's Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America." Ben's premise about the left's silencing tactics is absolutely correct. Obviously I've witnessed the left's bullying behavior up close and personal when it's been directed at those so close to me…Please read Ben's book and consider his advice about how we must stand up and push back twice as hard against this bullying. We must not allow ourselves to be frightened into silence."
"In Bullies, Ben Shapiro shows once and for all that the left is the single greatest source of bullying in modern American life. Their goal: to shut down the political debate in the name of political correctness. Don't let them shut you up read Bullies, and learn how to fight back!"
"Bullies is a rousing manifesto against liberal thuggery. Meticulously documented and deeply personal, this book will infuriate AND inspire you. Shapiro exposes all the Left's menaces...infused with the indomitable spirit of his friend and mentor Andrew Breitbart, Shapiro issues a passionate call to arms."
"Bullies will shock you with its point-by-point, fiery deconstruction of the left's strong-arm strategy for silencing conservatives. You don't know the left until you've read Bullies. And you won't be able to beat them unless you do."
"Irresistibly readable... Ben Shapiro has nailed the left right where it lives."

Most Helpful
really delicious, i used pappardelle pasta, actually lemon pepper one from trader joe's and it was a big hit.
This was absolutely delicious! I did tweak it a little though. I added dill and oregano to it because I subbed shrimp for the prosciutto. I also switched out the cayenne with dried red pepper flakes. And I used cheese tortellini. But the sauce was so delicious.
This was absolutely fabulous. Have made it several times - wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for posting!

Blindspot (Paperback)
December 2008 Indie Next List
"In a masterpiece of teamwork, Kamensky and Lepore, both history professors, have brought alive pre-Revolutionary Boston in the most charming way imaginable by telling the story of an exiled Scottish portraitist and his surprising apprentice. Blindspot kept me guessing (and laughing) from beginning to end -- it is the most entertaining historical novel I've ever read."
— Jake Hallman, A Great Good Place for Books, Oakland, CA
Stewart Jameson, a Scottish portrait painter fleeing his debtors in Edinburgh, has washed up on the British Empire's far shores—in the city of Boston, lately seized with the spirit of liberty. Eager to begin anew, he advertises for an apprentice, but the lad who comes knocking is no lad at all. Fanny Easton is a fallen woman from Boston's most prominent family who has disguised herself as a boy to become Jameson's defiant and seductive apprentice.
Written with wit and exuberance by accomplished historians, Blindspot is an affectionate send-up of the best of eighteenth-century fiction. It celebrates the art of the Enlightenment and the passion of the American Revolution by telling stories of ordinary people caught up in an extraordinary time.
About the Author
Jane Kamensky earned her B.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University. She is Harry S. Truman Professor of American Civilization at Brandeis University, where she teaches courses in colonial American history, women's and family history, and the writing of history that have been recognized with a university-wide award for excellence in teaching. Her books, among others, include THE EXCHANGE ARTIST: A TALE OF HIGH-FLYING SPECULATION AND AMERICA'S FIRST BANKING COLLAPSE (2008), a finalist for the 2009 George Washington Book Prize; and THE COLONIAL MOSAIC: AMERICAN WOMEN, 1600-1760 (1995). She is co-editor of THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (2012) and the co-author of the historical novel BLINDSPOT (2008), a New York Times editor's choice and Boston Globe bestseller. Jane has served on the editorial boards of several journals as well as on the Council of the American Antiquarian Society and the Executive Board of the Organization of American Historians. She has appeared on such media outlets as PBS, CSPAN, the History Channel, and NPR, and has won numerous major grants and fellowships to support her scholarship. Her next book, COPLEY: A LIFE IN COLOR, will be published by W. W. Norton.
Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper 41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at the "New Yorker". Her books include "The Mansion of Happiness", "The Whites of Their Eyes" (Princeton), and "Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin".
Praise For…
"A lusty romance, a murder mystery and a bit of Americana, all rolled into one big, fat historical romp . . . Lepore and Kamensky have re-created a fascinating world and brought history hotly alive."—San Francisco Chronicle
"An erudite and entertaining re-creation of colonial America on the brink of the Revolution."—New York Times Book Review
"Both frisky and learned . . . a treat."—Washington Post
"A rip-roaring yarn, a real romp . . . It's fantastic—the romance novel of your dreams."—Newsday
"A droll, edifying novel . . . Not since John Barth . . . has anyone rendered colonial America in such exquisite satirical strokes. Blindspot succeeds as raw entertainment; better, it soars as cunning academic revisionism."—Chicago Tribune
"A very smart book . . . [Blindspot] captures Colonial America's wit and vulgarity, its sensibility, sensuality and snobbery."—San Diego Union-Tribune

Essay - Comparing/contrasting Theories of Criminal Behavior Rational Choice Theory Compared to...
Comparing/contrasting theories of criminal behavior
Rational Choice Theory compared to Labeling and Radical theories
The Rational Choice Theory of the causes of ***** behavior is essentially based on the assumption that criminals rationally make decisions that motivate and lead them to commit criminal acts. ***** theory emphasizes individual choice and the personal decision-making process in an attempt to understand the causes of crime. The strength of this ***** is that it focuses on the ***** and on his or her logical ***** rational decisions to attain certain goals. "According to Felson and Clarke (1998), the rational choice perspective ***** upon the offender's decision-making. Its main assumption is that offending is purposive *****, designed ***** benefit the offender in some way." (Rational Choice Perspective)
T*****efore t***** theory differs from other theories of crim*****al behavior such as Labeling Theory in that it focuses on ***** ***** individual concerns rather than outside factors. In effect the theory involves viewing the causes of crime in terms of an *****alysis that looks at the costs and benef*****s of the decision th***** ***** person *****s. It is also characterized by an analysis that attempts to see the ***** from the criminal's viewpoint.
Rational choice theorizing in criminology is really quite down to earth, trying ***** ***** the world from the ***** *****. ***** seeks to understand how the offender makes crime **********, driven ***** a particular motive within a specific setting, which offers the opportunities to satisfy that motive. Rational choice ***** has an image of ***** *****fender who thinks before he acts, even if only for a moment, t*****king into account some benefits and ***** in *****ting the offence. (The ***** Choice Perspective: The Home Office, 1988)
The theory of ***** choice is based on the work of early classical theor*****ts such as Jeremy Bentham and their views of human behavior which emph*****ized the following aspects:
*****) The human being is a rational actor, (2) Rationality involves an end/means calculation, (3) People (freely) choose all behavior, both conforming and deviant, based on their rational calculations, (4) The central element of calculation ***** a cost benefit *****nalysis: Pleasure versus Pain, (5) Choice, with all other conditions equal, will be directed towards the maximization of individual pleasure, (6) ***** can be controlled through the perception ***** understanding ***** the potential pain or punishment ***** will follow an act judged to ***** in violation of ***** social good, the social contract. (Keel, R. **********)
This theoretical st*****dpoint is ***** on other assumpti*****s about ***** behavior. These include the *****: humans are ***** goal directed and act with purpose; *****y have hierarchical needs and preferences and make choices according to this hierarchy of *****. (Turner Jonathan, 1991)
The theory of rational choice also acknowledges that there are various constraints and mitigating factors involved when analyzing the causes of crime in ***** of human rationality. These ***** factors that need to be considered within the broad over***** theoretical framework. RCT or Rational Choice Theory involves decision-making which can be..."constrained by

I'm writing an app that will store the IP Addresses of where requests are coming from. Those IP Addresses will be stored as a
varbinary(16) in my database. Its become apparent that a
varbinary(16) is not the proper size. Currently, I'm using the following code to get the IP Address of a request into a byte[];
HttpRequestMessage request = GetRequestMessage();
string ipAddress = string.Empty;
if (request.Properties.ContainsKey("MS_HttpContext"))
ipAddress = ((HttpContextWrapper)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"]).Request.UserHostAddress;
else if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name))
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty property = (RemoteEndpointMessageProperty)request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name];
ipAddress = property.Address;
byte[] bytes = new byte[ipAddress.Length * sizeof(char)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(ipAddress.ToCharArray(), 0, bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
// What is the maximum size of bytes?
I've noticed that bytes has a length of 26. My question is, what is the largest size that bytes can be if I need to support IPv6 addresses? I need to know to change the size of my
varbinary(16) to the appropriate length.
Thank you!

Harvest 2015Written by Ruth Simpson
Harvest 2015 The past 6 weeks have been a hectic rollercoaster of picking and processing, but we are pleased to say that almost all 36 hectares worth of grapes and juice are now safely in the winery at Sainte Rose being carefully monitored through primary fermentation! What is left is a few rows of our older block of Roussanne, which we have left on the vine to concentrate in flavour and pick up some noble rot, with a view to making a limited edition late harvest sweet wine!

Vintage 2015 Begins!Written by Ruth Simpson
Vintage 2015 The month of July saw daytime temperatures of 42 degrees C and there had been not a drop of rain for more than 6 weeks. At Sainte Rose we were thankful for the drip irrigation in our vineyards, which has ensured that the extreme temperatures and lack of water have not caused any hydric stress in the vines and that the grapes continue to ripen in a healthy fashion. We were however preparing for another extremely early harvest. The start of August brought some cooler days and some light rain that has at least washed…

Milwaukee playwright brings 'Great Expectations' into focus
Chicago — Charles Dickens is the most theatrical of the great novelists, but unless one adapts a novella like "A Christmas Carol" — or has the luxury of eight-plus hours, as in the acclaimed adaptation of "Nicholas Nickleby" — the length of his novels makes them difficult to stage.
I was therefore intrigued to see how Milwaukee's Gale Childs Daly had tackled the challenge of adapting "Great Expectations," which is not only one of Dickens' best novels, but also among the shortest. It's being staged by Chicago's Strawdog Theatre Company, a 70-seat storefront theater with a history of rethinking classic texts. »Read Full Article

WTMJ reporter ordered to appear for Alabama murder trial
A Milwaukee County judge on Tuesday ordered a local TV reporter to attend a murder trial next month in Alabama, where prosecutors say the reporter is a material witness.
Cody Holyoke, of WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) represented himself at a brief hearing before Circuit Judge David Borowski. Borowski said such requests from out-of-state courts are rare, and so he would presume it was "rather serious" case and request. He and Holyoke agreed that whether Holyoke may be able to invoke Alabama's reporter's shield law is an issue for the courts there. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

Stephen Higgins and Nina Gilden Seavey's absorbing documentary The Matador doesn't avoid airing the protests against bullfighting that have increased in recent years. But the filmmakers never take sides, concentrating instead on their captivating subject, David Fandila, a bullfighter from Granada, who, five years ago, at the age of 21, set out to become only the 13th matador in history to complete 100 corridas in a single season.
Even if one is not a bullfighting aficionado, it is easy to get caught up in his quest. Fandila is as graceful and stylish as a dancer and rarely falters; he does seem to fulfill one observer's remark that the bullfighter is "a hero who confronts death for all of us."
When he arrives at a ring, David blots out protesters chanting, "Torture is not art nor culture." The bull's fate might be cruel, but surely Fandila is an artist and bullfighting has been deeply embedded in Spanish and Mediterranean cultures for centuries.
The filmmakers don't probe why this came to be and what it signifies, and their film would have been stronger had they done so. Still, they do capture the paradox of beauty and cruelty that charges their entire film. "The Matador" is rightly exciting -- and unsettling. --Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
Once he steps into the ring, this Spanish Clark Kent transforms into El Fandi, a preening, balls-out bullfighter! --Elena Oumano, The Village Voice

Understanding search intents of users through their condensed short queries has attracted much attention both in academia and industry. The search intents of users are generally assumed to be associated with various query patterns, such as "MobileName price", where "MobileName" could be any named entity of mobile phone model and this pattern indicates that the user intends to buy a mobile phone. However, discovering the query intent patterns for general search is challenging mainly due to the difficulty in collecting sufficient training data for learning query patterns across a large number of searchable domains. In this work, we propose Cross Domain Random Walk (CDRW) algorithm, which is semi-supervised, to discover the query intent patterns across different domains from search engine click-through log data. Starting with some manually tagged seed queries in one or more independent domains, CDRW takes the query patterns as bridge and propagates the transition probability across domains to collect the query intent patterns among different domains based on the assumption that "users who have similar intent in different but similar domains will have high probability to share similar query patterns across domains". Different from classical random walk algorithms, CDRW walks across different domains to disseminate the shared knowledge in a transfer learning manner. Extensive experiment results on real log data of a commercial search engine well validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
