Skip to comments.Intelligent designs long march to nowhere
Posted on 12/05/2005 4:06:56 AM PST by PatrickHenry
The leaders of the intelligent design movement are once again holding court in America, defending themselves against charges that ID is not science. One of the expert witnesses is Michael Behe, author of the ID movements seminal volume Darwins Black Box. Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, testified about the scientific character of ID in Kitzmiller v. Dover School District, the court case of eight families suing the school district and the school board in Dover, Pa., for mandating the teaching of intelligent design.
Under cross-examination, Behe made many interesting comparisons between ID and the big-bang theory both concepts carry lots of ideological freight. When the big-bang theory was first proposed in the 1920s, many people made hostile objections to its apparent supernatural character. The moment of the big bang looked a lot like the Judeo-Christian creation story, and scientists from Quaker Sir Arthur Eddington to gung-ho atheist Fred Hoyle resisted accepting it.
In his testimony, Behe stated correctly that at the current moment, we have no explanation for the big bang. And, ultimately it may prove to be beyond scientific explanation, he said. The analogy is obvious: I put intelligent design in the same category, he argued.
This comparison is quite interesting. Both ID and the big-bang theory point beyond themselves to something that may very well lie outside of the natural sciences, as they are understood today. Certainly nobody has produced a simple model for the bigbang theory that fits comfortably within the natural sciences, and there are reasons to suppose we never will.
In the same way, ID points to something that lies beyond the natural sciences an intelligent designer capable of orchestrating the appearance of complex structures that cannot have evolved from simpler ones. Does this claim not resemble those made by the proponents of the big bang? Behe asked.
However, this analogy breaks down when you look at the historical period between George Lemaitres first proposal of the big-bang theory in 1927 and the scientific communitys widespread acceptance of the theory in 1965, when scientists empirically confirmed one of the big bangs predictions.
If we continue with Behes analogy, we might expect that the decades before 1965 would have seen big-bang proponents scolding their critics for ideological blindness, of having narrow, limited and inadequate concepts of science. Popular books would have appeared announcing the big-bang theory as a new paradigm, and efforts would have been made to get it into high school astronomy textbooks.
However, none of these things happened. In the decades before the big-bang theory achieved its widespread acceptance in the scientific community its proponents were not campaigning for public acceptance of the theory. They were developing the scientific foundations of theory, and many of them were quite tentative about their endorsements of the theory, awaiting confirmation.
Physicist George Gamow worked out a remarkable empirical prediction for the theory: If the big bang is true, he calculated, the universe should be bathed in a certain type of radiation, which might possibly be detectable. Another physicist, Robert Dicke, started working on a detector at Princeton University to measure this radiation. Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson ended up discovering the radiation by accident at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., in 1965, after which just about everyone accepted the big bang as the correct theory.
Unfortunately, the proponents of ID arent operating this way. Instead of doing science, they are writing popular books and op-eds. As a result, ID remains theoretically in the same scientific place it was when Phillip Johnson wrote Darwin on Trial little more than a roster of evolutionary theorys weakest links.
|When Behe was asked to explicate the science of ID, he simply listed a number of things that were complex and not adequately explained by evolution. These structures, he said, were intelligently designed. Then, under cross-examination, he said that the explanation for these structures was intelligent activity. He added that ID explains things that appear to be intelligently designed as having resulted from intelligent activity.
Behe denied that this reasoning was tautological and compared the discernment of intelligently designed structures to observing the Sphinx in Egypt and concluding that it could not have been produced by non-intelligent causes. This is a winsome analogy with a lot of intuitive resonance, but it is hardly comparable to Gamows carefully derived prediction that the big bang would have bathed the universe in microwave radiation with a temperature signature of 3 degrees Kelvin.
After more than a decade of listening to ID proponents claim that ID is good science, dont we deserve better than this?
Integrity...That BS detector is going off again (for some strange reason it goes off every time that you mention that word).
You could demonstrate some of that if you took back your claim that I was telling a lie.
I think that VadeRetro's posts on the topic are a good indicator of what is to come...attack and name-call.
Just because they are two different concepts does not mean they are unrelated. I am frankly alarmed at the suggestion one can have abiogenesis without evolution. How can this be? Granted, abiogenesis may be one particular focus of certain scientists, but I cannot understand how they could possibly divorce one from the other en toto. I can certainly understand why one would want to turn a blind eye to abiogenesis while arguing for a universal history of simple to complex biological forms.
Does he he qualify for nomination for permanent membership in the distinguished ranks of the Ignorati? (i.e., those who refuse to see)
They also don't fund it. You said they did. They were interested once and called for papers. None came. Now they aren't much interested, as their guidelines for submissions make crystal clear.is this.
What is a "grant" and what is "support", if not funding?I mean, are we all supposed to be idiots not to see the tap dance?
And what about this?
They never came in, said Charles L. Harper Jr., senior vice president at the Templeton Foundation, who said that while he was skeptical from the beginning, other foundation officials were initially intrigued and later grew disillusioned.Does that look like "funding" or "not funding?"
From the point of view of rigor and intellectual seriousness, the intelligent design people dont come out very well in our world of scientific review, he said.
If your project takes an anti-evolutionist position scientifically, or seeks to engage in political advocacy concerning evolution or anti-evolution, it is unlikely to pass through the initial filters and external expert review process of the John Templeton Foundation.Does this say, "We fund ID?" Pby says John Templeton Foundation funds ID.
I have no debate with you on anything outside of that.
Stop confusing Junior. There is no Sinosauroptyrex.
Hey Fester, keep in mind that random events can allow a great degree of prediction. Study a short text about the 'Standard Normal Curve,' and you'll see that randomness certainly does not imply design---it's the diametric opposite---yet it does provide scientists with a tool: Probability.
That would be no more significant than when I was a kid and cut and pasted hexadecimal code to crack a game...although I did it, did I know what the hex code represented?
Likewise: Do the scientists truly understand the DNA they're cutting and pasting?
Or are they merely playing with materials that, yes, they can manipulate, but cannot understand?
Are they just kids eagerly taking credit for something they really don't understand?
A poor analogy might be this: I understand how to create fire. I know what it will do once I create it. I know its heat, its light, and how to propagate it--or, more likely, avoid propagation!
...but do I understand what the FLAME ITSELF is made out of?
And still not proven.
Asked you once already, was there a deadline?
The fact that nothing has happened along these lines (abiogenesis) doesn't necessarily prove anything...
Probably shows you aren't following the research.
When Intelligent Design was proposed and is defended, we have a problem in that there is nothing like a CBR to be found that might prove/disprove it.
Right. There never will be, either. The whole idea is useless as tits on a boar hog, scientifically speaking.
The John Templeton Foundation does not support research or programs that deny large areas of well-documented scientific knowledge. [Thus, ID is out.] In addition, we do not support political agendas such as movements to determine (one way or the other) what qualified educators should or should not teach in public schools. [Again, ID is out.] However, it is not the policy of the John Templeton Foundation to black list organizations or individual scholars or to proscribe the outcome of well-designed research projects. In addition, the Foundation does not itself hold, or require that its grantees accept, any specific position on scholarly questions that remain open to further study. (The Foundations motto is How little we know; how eager to learn.) Thus while it is our judgment that the general process of biological evolution is well attested by many lines of research, it is not clear to what extent the process of evolution or the study of the history of life on earth may reveal hints of broader cosmic, perhaps even divine, purpose and intention.
It is therefore possible that, from time to time, the Foundation will support well-designed projects or research that some others may label as intelligent design. But the Foundation does not support the movement known as Intelligent Design as such, as an intellectual position or as a movement. [Clear enough?] The Foundation is a non-partisan philanthropic organization and makes funding decisions based on a process of peer review as is standard practice in scientific research funding and publication. Our expectation is that the products of Templeton-funded research will appear in high-quality and peer-reviewed journals. [Thus ID is out.] If your project takes an anti-evolutionist position scientifically, or seeks to engage in political advocacy concerning evolution or anti-evolution, it is unlikely to pass through the initial filters and external expert review process of the John Templeton Foundation. [So ID is out.] In contrast, some advocates of the ID position have received grants from the Foundation on the basis of successful participation in intellectually-rigorous, openlyjudged and peer-reviewed grant competitions. [Obviously, the grants didn't fund ID, even though the grant recipients may have been advocates of ID.]
While the Foundation does not generally support theologically-motivated critiques of evolutionary science, [thus ID is out] we do fund open and rigorous debate concerning the ID position. [Debates aren't scientific research into ID.] We believe that open debate and competition among positions is the best long-term method for choosing a wise course of action. This is particularly important in this instance because debate about the philosophical interpretations of evolutionary science (as distinct from wholesale rejection of the scientific findings relevant to evolution) is much needed.
What is the difference between arguing from probabilities and arguing from astonishment?
"it is not clear to what extent the process of evolution or the study of the history of life on earth may reveal hints of broader cosmic, perhaps even divine, purpose and intention.
It is therefore possible that, from time to time, the Foundation will support well-designed projects or research that some others may label as "intelligent design".
In contrast, some advocates of the ID position have received grants from the Foundation...
...we do fund open and rigorous debate concerning the "ID" position. We believe that open debate and competition among positions is the best long-term method for choosing a wise course of action. This is particularly important in this instance because debate about the philosophical interpretations of evolutionary science...is much needed.
There is the evidence...argue with them now.
Too late. I'm extremely confused.
There is no Sinosauroptyrex.
At least not in the official literature. However, your chart earlier spells it exactly the same way as pby, which really makes me confused. One would think there would be lots of literature available on just about any dinosaur, let alone one as somewhat controversial as this one.
I'm beginning to think I've slipped into an alternate universe... again.
Perhaps Vade can read it in blue.
The earth brought forth life and continues to sustain it on account of a cause beyond itself.
Would ID predict something akin to a periodic table of elements, "laws of nature," and the like?
If the definition of "supernatural" is subject to the extent of human understanding, what is there that cannot be defined as either "natural" or "supernatural," with the observer being the sole determinant of which is which?
Maybe the "natural" state of things is for them to fly apart, disintegrate, and disappear. If so, then the presence of any data for any observer to contemplate would be far from natural. I maintain that science is in and of itself a supernatural occurence.
I knew I remembered seeing it spelled that way.
"I maintain that science is in and of itself a supernatural occurence." (Fester Chugabrew, post 428)
Your Brain on Creationism worthy?
Your bracketed comment contradicts what the sentence says. It seems to me the author is stating antipathy toward supporting "one way or the other." That means nothing is ruled in or out, other than supporting political agendas.
Look for yourselves.
Ahhh... Tired eyes. "E" before "Y" if it's dinos that fly...
Just brazen. They do not fund ID. You said they do.
Now, I allowed that you could have been innocently mistaken in your initial reading.
That cannot be true now. You, sir, are absolutely, positively, without a doubt a shameless liar.
Out for probably the rest of the night. You may have the last word. Have a ball with it.
Well, in fact, a goodly number of scientists look at the problem of very early life, and other conundrums, and find there's a good case to be made for ID. However, they also mostly understand the difference between idle speculation, that offers, as yet no tangible traction for critical experiment or field work, and natural science. There is another branch of thought, presently spearheaded by Kauffman, Woese and Wolfram, who do perform experiments with critically examinable results, that holds that self-reproductive organization is a natural state of chaotic matter over time, and is inevitable even in the short run.
Kinda easier to get your mits around an ongoing physical phenomenon, than it is to examine a supposed one-shot event a couple of billion years ago.
What is "Creationism?"
"What is "Creationism?"
How so? 1965-1927 is 38 years.
Gamow and Teller were both proponents of the expanding-universe theory that had been advanced by Friedmann, Edwin Hubble, and Georges LeMaître. Gamow, however, modified the theory and named his version the big bang. He and Ralph Alpher published this theory in a paper called The Origin of Chemical Elements (1948). This paper, attempting to explain the distribution of chemical elements throughout the universe, posits a primeval thermonuclear explosion, the big bang that began the universe. According to the theory, after the big bang, atomic nuclei were built up by the successive capture of neutrons by the initially formed pairs and triplets.
That is 21 years before the testable prediction was made followed by 17 years before the theory was widely accepted.(and I'm not sure how close that initial description is to the current theories synthesis of elements)
But, in 1950, a Japanese astrophysicist, Chushiro Hayashi, pointed out a big flaw in Gamow's theory. One of Gamow's basic assumptions, that the universe was originally filled with neutrons and gamma rays, could not be correct. If the radiation had a temperature of 109 K when the universe was 20 minutes old, it would have to be much hotter when the universe was much younger, say 1 second A.B.E. But if the radiation is hotter than 1010 K, the gamma rays will be sufficiently energetic to produce electrons and positrons (anti-electrons) by the reaction:
"Darwin's Black Box" was written in 1996.
I understand your intuition about these two disciplines---they should be related, you feel.
There are many obstacles to that happening. To mention a few, I think, is sufficient.
Where does, in historical perspective, abiogenis begin? Before the Big Bang? After? etc.
That takes us immediately back to the Big Bang, and events before which we must forever remain ignorant. We'd be getting close to the supernatural, and science abhors the unempirical.
Outside the MSM, the Theory of Evolution, and its proponents, has never been about the beginning of life. I think that is the result of the first issue I raised. Also scientists tend not to venture beyond the limitations of the scientific method.
Some scientists, on the other hand, do research in abiogenesis. Most are in the Chemetistry areas of research. Today, bringing the Chemical research into the fold of those searching for the beginning of life is unwarranted simply because the data are not sufficiently supportive.
Well, case closed then. Shut 'er down and retool for the full and final proof of the pentultimate "theory of everything": Intelligent Democrats
Darwin dedicated a whole chapter of "On the Origin of Species" to what he called "a crowd of difficulties". For example, "Can we believe that natural selection could produce...an organ so wonderful as the eye". How could organisms that need it survive without it while it was evolving over thousands or millions of years? Most complex organs and organisms must have all of the parts functioning together at once from the beginning. Any gradual acquiring of them would be fatal to their functioning. Further, "can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection?" Darwin admits the difficulties with evolution that "some of them are so serious that to this day I can hardly reflect on them without being in some degree staggered". Darwin admitted, Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain, and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory. Darwin hoped that enough of these missing links would eventually be found to substantiate what he called the theory of evolution. Gould says, Darwins argument still persists as the favored escape of most paleontologists from the embarrassment of a record that seems to show so little of evolution directly. Dawkins adds, Some very important gaps really are due to imperfections in the fossil record. Very big gaps, too. Gould admits, All paleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms; transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt. We all know this is a waste of time posting these apparent contradictions because readers have made up their minds even though this theory on the origin of species has been decimated.
No. It is easy to study evolution apart from abiogenesis.
Where does, in historical perspective, abiogenis begin? Before the Big Bang? After? etc.
It seems fairly apparent that this would happen after the big bang, when the elements are present and in such a condition as to facilitate the presence of life. Why do you consider this question to be a serious obstacle to a relationship between evolution and abiogenesis?
That takes us immediately back to the Big Bang.
Wait a minute. The Big Bang is necessarily tied to abiogenesis, but evolution is not? I can appreciate the desire to see science remain strictly within the limits of empirical practice. Most believers in evolution have a difficult time distinguishing between empirical facts and reasonable conjecture. Why is it they are permitted to indulge reasonable conjecture to the hilt and still be considered "scientific", while proponents of ID are not? Why is it "unscientific" to infer intelligence is involved in cases where matter is organized, while it is "scientific" to assert anything but intelligence is involved with the same arrangement of matter?
If organized matter is not the result of intelligent design, then what is it? The opposite? Something in between? Which choice is most reasonable?
They wouldn't admit to them, that is correct. They would rather dance around them, but they never could confront them adequately.
Definitely! We don't have a specimen from that individual. I'll post the results when it's ready.
Talking to Himself too. :)
So how would probability and predictabilty speak to the present universe as either a.) a product of intelligent design or b.) a product of unguided processes?

I do not think so i do not have my original it is with or was with my ex-girlfriend and if I know her she probably threw it away
how very true i am just waiting to get my copy of my dd214 so they can see it
Oh to be that adventureous again, cruising on 82nd street and of course the keggers. It was good times then. Wow seems kinda weird - but spent 4 years in Honlulu myself not right after high school though. I went south to San Diego.
Anyway - gotta go. Have a great rest of your day.
wow sorry to hear about you plants you will have a lot of work to do this spring
I know that it will take time with the Va office and supposedly it will cost me only about 5 to 7 dollars per each prescription to refill instead of the 100 to 150 dollars
E.L.P yes indeed. I did knew an Applegate - way back when. He lived off of Holgate street. I went to Cleveland High.
Huh - no those don't sound that familar, I grew up in the SE area by East Moreland. But that was many places ago.
by the way I got the first job in but not as hard as you did
the same here need to make some calls to the va hospital to get an appoinment so they will startcovering my medications since I have been out of work for so long talked to a vet rep at the unemployment office about tht and he gave a web site to check out for opening that I would get before it goes to th public.
hey Michael how are you ? hope that it is not to cold there here it is still mighty cold and the snow is not melting to quick at all
Hi Michael, hope you are having a wonderful day. Very cold again this morning, down to 8 degrees this morning. But the sunny sky's are wonderful but deceiving. Thanks for the invite to the poetry group, I'll have to really dig deep on that subject as a I more of a numbers kinda of person. But do have an antique book of poems that my great-grandfather gave to my grandfather for a Christmas present back in the 1800's. So you grew up in Portland OR - me too. But have traveled around myself as an adult - but thats what the military does for you, even if you don't want to transfer duty stations.

Khun Michael kah. Chan kow chai mak kah. Tamada mai mi vela. Sorry, just wanted to refresh my memory with Thai. Networking takes time. For example, I am on Facebook and already am struggling to keep up with every one there. And I don't even have many friends. I joined Twitter but gave up on it because to me it's a SILLY concept. Who's got time to follow all these people around all the time with what they're doing described in 140 characters or so. And so far you know what Michael? I haven't benefited from joining these networks, including GovCentral. I've looked up jobs but there are other job boards that do the same thing better. And in this network site, I thought I would be able to connect with more people who are already working in government, but most of us, including me, are seeking for a government job and really all we can do for each other is to give ourselves morale support.

Tales of the Unexpected
Aspects of contemporary Australian art
Introduction | Foreword | Essay | Works | Gallery
Rosemary Laing | Anne Wallace | Lyndell Brown and Charles Green | Kate Beynon | Sally Smart | Robert Boynes
Tales of the Unexpected: aspects of contemporary Australian art is part of an ongoing series of exhibitions at the National Gallery of Australia recognising and supporting contemporary art.
This show includes some of Australia's most thought-provoking artists: Kate Beynon, Robert Boynes, Lyndell Brown and Charles Green (who work collaboratively), Rosemary Laing, Sally Smart and Anne Wallace. It focuses on six different approaches around the theme of the unexpected, engaging with experiences of the real world and transforming them to create poetic, 'fictional documentaries'. Each approach is revealed in some depth by a group or series of works from the past decade.
Significant aspects of the exhibition are the fluid intersections between fact and fiction, past and present, and across various media. The blurring of media boundaries is evident in the way that a photograph can have a performative or cinematic dimension and recall painterly traditions; a painting can incorporate or allude to photography and film; and collage (usually associated with small scale work) can evolve into an evocative, dramatic wall installation.
Through their diverse approaches, the artists in this exhibition provide us with much to contemplate. They do not convey narratives with beginnings and endings but instead suggest evocative dream states, inviting the viewer on journeys of mind and imagination.

DUBAI, U.A.E., 21st November 2012: Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, one of the fastest growing international airlines, has strengthened its operations in Thailand, with Phuket to become the second Thai gateway that connects it to international trade opportunities across its network of 126 destinations.
The launch of a daily non-stop flight to Phuket on 10th December 2012, operated by an A340-300 with a belly hold capacity of 13 tonnes, will take the weekly cargo capacity into and out of the country to more than 640 tonnes. This capacity is spread across four flights to Bangkok and one to Phuket.
Phuket, the largest island in Thailand, located in the Andaman Sea, will become the 15th route launch for Emirates this year and the second in South East Asia following the launch of Ho Chi Minh City in June.
"Thailand is a major economic centre in South East Asia. Phuket, which is a very popular tourist destination, plays an important role in Thailand's economy and with the launch of this service we will be able to connect businesses on the island to opportunities across our ever expanding global network," said Ram Menen, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President Cargo.
Imports into Phuket are mainly meat, spare parts, diving equipment, office supplies and fish, while the top exports include tuna, live shrimp and crab. Due to the popularity of Thailand as a tourist destination, there is also strong demand for the movement of personal effects and household goods into and out of the island.
Emirates currently operate four daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, including one with its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft.
EK379 will depart Phuket daily at 00:35hrs and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 04:35hrs and EK378 will depart Dubai at 12:45hrs and arrive at Phuket International Airport at 21:55hrs.

Type 2 diabetes in children is a chronic condition that affects the way your child's body metabolizes sugar (glucose).
Type 2 diabetes is a disease more commonly associated with adults. In fact, it used to be called adult-onset diabetes. But type 2 diabetes in children is on the rise, fueled largely by the obesity epidemic.
There's plenty you can do to help manage or prevent type 2 diabetes in children. Encourage your child to eat healthy foods, get plenty of physical activity and maintain a healthy weight. If diet and exercise aren't enough to control type 2 diabetes in children, oral medication or insulin treatment may be needed.

Bryant Cottage was built in 1856 by Francis E. Bryant (1818-1889), a friend and political ally of Senator Stephen A. Douglas.

The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great bait. The smallies on the Finger lakes in NY love it nice and slow. Too fast and you'll get frustrated by all of the short strikes and dropped fish.
From: Randy: Pennsylvania 1/27/17
Comments: Great bait is has realistic action & colors & its not too bad of a price for people on a budget like me
From: Colton: USA 7/17/16
Comments: as far as the helicoptering while casting, throw it on a med/hvy or hvy action and don't try to whip it just give it a nice smooth heave and it should cast a mile for you. Awesome bait for the price.
From: Joe: CT 5/21/15
Comments: Got in in the killer gill color since the lake I fish is loaded with spawning bluegills in early may. The durability of these things is unreal. The price may seem a little much its worth it
From: Lex: MN 4/9/15
Comments: Love this swimbait, very realistic swimming action and good colors. Killer Gill has been the most successful for me up here in NE. Only downside is the poor castability, it tends to helicopter on long casts. The slow sink can be worked right under the surface easily by keeping your rod tip up, or in medium depths if you slow roll it and keep your tip low. A swimbait rod isn't necessary, I can fish mine easily on a medium heavy rod. Definitely a great bait for those new to swimbait fishing.
From: Jake: Amston, CT 9/26/14
Comments: i would suggest the floating style with the blue herring.. its the only shiny one.. swims with a wake and gets bit.. the only flaw is the hook up ratio.. ive lost so many fish due to the fish throwing out the bait.. it only has one treble hook... other than that great bait..
From: Steffan: Orlando, FL 4/6/14
Comments: Really good Action, I recommend switching the hooks to something a little smaller on the slow sink, it now suspends and bass crush it.
From: MB: USA 3/20/14
Comments: This lure is just amazing in the fall when the bass start feeding on Shad. I personally recommend the floating and if you give it a couple twitches with your rod it flutters and the bass just can't resist it. I landed a 7lber yesterday with the sexy lavender shad
From: Ethan: Grand Lake Oklahoma
Comments: great lure. swimming action on this guy is something else. sadly to say I lost one of mine. still on the fish somewhere. getting more soon. make sure u always check the line after getting it stuck.
Comments: I have all the colors and there Awesome, great bait, I slay big bass with it all day, it works and well worth 20 bucks no other bait that's 4 inch comes close to swimming like the bbz
From: Big D Dao: San Diego
Comments: This is a fantastic bait! The action is as real as I can imagine a hard body bait can be. And it's tough too. I cast it into a rock wall hard enough that it should have broke into about 10 pieces but it only cracked and fixed right up with a little glue. I've only really fished it a little but I have caught a couple of nice 2.5 and 3 pound bass. It's great buy and I'll be getting more!
From: Gabriel: Chapel Hill, NC
Comments: I have one and it's sweet. The cast ability is great, the swimming action is awesome, and I'm glad the hook is a Gammy. I can't WAIT for the new models coming out, there both lipped, one's a square bill and one is a regular lip. God bless!
From: Elijah: Mystic, CT
Comments: This lure has excellent life-like action at all speeds, from the slowest crawl to the fastest rip. It swims straight as an arrow at all retrieval speeds. It does helicopter on casts but with my spinning reel I don't have a problem with it. I've also noticed that that you can make casts without it helicoptering with some practice (again on a spinning reel). The tail and dorsal fins are made of very durable rubber and should easily last the lifetime of the lure. Great detail. At $20 this is an excellent buy!
From: Gabe: Chapel Hill, NC
Comments: joe would probaly pass out if he saw any roman made bait
From: Jake
Comments: I have seen one of my friends use this bait and it looks amazing in the water. I wanted to get one, but it is just SOOO expensive. $20 for one lure! ARE U SERIOUS!!!!
From: Joe
Comments: tis is one of the best baits i have ever bought it is affordable and just works amazingly with the price it is everybody should have one all the colors are there so now u just have to pick the right one. I've had this bait for like six months and I've already caught a lot of fish off it,it works like a charm.
From: Joaquin: Mission Veijo
Comments: great bait. swims perfect and easy to fish. Oh and I catch plenty bass.
From: EJ: WI
Comments: I love the action of this lure but it helicopters worse than any lure I have ever cast.
From: Tom: Redmond, WA
Comments: Great swimming action! Caught my 2nd largest bass on this guy as well as the LARGEST Sunny recorded in my book. YES, so realistic even pan fishes go for it! Can't wait to try the baby brother of this lure..
From: Hmongbass: Madison, WI
Comments: used this bait at local lake near nebraska. I thought it wouldn't catch anything so i let my friend use the bait. He caught good size 4 lb bass on it. Its good action and swims very well. Give one a try, have at least one in your box.
From: Alex: KS
Comments: these swimbaits are so good. to me the best colors are sexy lavender shad, killer gill, and natural shad. all in slow sink. if you get one of these you will catch fish. you need to get one.
From: David: Cali
Comments: this is THE BEST swimbait i have ever used/seen for 20 dollars there is no compairson, the action is unbelieveable it doesnt weigh enough to get a swimbait rod. it is just an all around perfect bait spring through fall
Comments: I literally love these baits. I like the how there is 6 different colors you can choose from, but I wish you could have a wider selection of colors.
From: Bill: SF
Comments: i picked up a couple blueback herring and sexy lavendar shads in slow sink for river fishing. the bbz's look incredible in the water...and you can burn them or crawl them and it will swim true. i thought i would have trouble throwing them in swift current but they handle rapids and boils just fine. they do catch wind on cast at times, but i found that throwing them side-arm rather than overhand makes a noticeable difference. imo, the stock hooks are good. you will probably want to upgrade the hooks after a few outings, but you'd eventually do that with most of your hardbait lures anyway. i've not had issues with just one set of treble hooks, either. i was looking for a hard swimbait to match my local river forage and one that didnt require me to have to purchase a new rod/reel setup -- essentially, a lure that i could chuck on the gear i already have. the bbz is light, but heavy enough to launch a distance for that long retrieve. compared to other swimbaits, you can throw the bbz on a medium or medium heavy rod. the 4in bbz is a good size for the rivers i frequently fish. not here to sell this bait, just here to say that i've had good success with the bbz.
From: Willyreddeemed: Stone Mountain, GA
Comments: Looks and swims just as good as any of the other swimbaits of the same style but with a better price. Right time and place, it catches fish!
From: Caleb: Maine
Comments: These are great swimbaits. I bought a floater in killer gill and a slow sink natural shad. Caught a couple 2lbers on the floater first day. Then caught a 3 and a 6 on the slow sink last weekend. They swim true, great colors and catch all sizes of fish. I'll be getting a couple more real soon. Oh yeah, best prices, thanks TackleWarehouse.
From: Evan: Bossier City, LA
Comments: After alot of questions and a few videos I reluctantly purchased a BBZ & BBZ-1. So far the BBZ-1 has not landed a fish. But in its defence, I cant stop fishing the BBZ to give it a try. Ive used it on two different lakes and have caught fish every time. From 3 lbs to 10+ lbs. Im wondering if I put on a SW hook what will happen on the coast...
Comments: Great Post spawn bait on the out side of bream (blue gill) beds. Big females like to lurk on the deeper water side of those. Roll it over the grass in the summer time and rip it from the grass. The Floater is also good on the out side weedlines too.
Comments: I bought the slow sink model. The bait swims well, but will still come to the surface and wake if you reel it any faster than a crawl. This is also one of the most difficult casting baits I've ever thrown. It catches in the wind making it tough to aim.
From: Adam: Missouri, US
Comments: All I have to say is good work Spro you guys have the best swim baits on the market and at a price that everyone can afford thats huge. The swimming action is sweet the colors are great the baits are perfect. I can say this about all your poducts. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see what you do with the future.
From: Troy: Auburn, CA
Comments: wow this bait is crazy good. if you flick the rod tip the bait will do a 180 and the bass kill it. great great bait for big schooling bass. fish it verrrrrry slow. it shouls take like 3-5 min on a good cast to fish this bait. good bait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Chas: Lake Worth, FL
Comments: I bought a couple of these baits. The floating bait in blue herring, works!!! I've caught a couple 4 pounders;but one time i took my girlfriend with me and thought the topwater bite looked great. She caught 7 fish in an hour and the first one weighed 4.5 pounds. These baits work period.
From: Super Mario: Bay Area, CA
Comments: Fished with a guide on Lake Norman, NC, and we covered shallow, clear water with this bait and caught some good largemouths. Burn a fast sink over some shallow water and hold on. I would swap the stock hook for an Owner stinger.
From: Meatwad: Out of town
Comments: Great action , caught a 5 pounder in the other day but everything else has been on the small size(10-13 inches)
From: Lucas: Glasgow, KY
Comments: Have not caught one fish with this lure.
From: Long: Ham Lake, MN
Comments: AMAZING for smallmouth, rip them as had as you can burn them pause them, not so good for largemouth so far but deffinantly a bait to have.
From: Miles: Oregon, USA
Comments: Excellent bait. Great action. Great construction and components. The floating version is killer over weedbeds. The slow and fast sinking version run about the same depth, though.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments: Wow, what a great bait! Super realistic swimming action and VERY durable, I've seen them slammed off seawalls, docks, rock piles and they're still in great shape. First time I fished it, I caught a 30" pike with a good amount of weight to it, the bait came out of the battle unscathed. Lots of fun on light bass gear.
From:Zach: Michigan, USA
Comments:This bait is the best swimbait on the market! I found that for schooling bass feeding on shad, there is no better bait on the market. The floating BBZ-1 in the natural shad color is very hard to beat. I also found that a very slow retrieve, almost a crawl, with lots of twitches and pauses is the best approach for schooled bass. Best swimbait on the market! Good job Spro and Bill!
From:Alan: Talbott, TN
Comments:Comments:Outstanding swim bait. The top water BBZ shad will draw bass even from deeper water than you may expect.Hard strikes from good fish. Thanks Bill and Spro.
From:Ted: Lake Arrowhead, CA
Comments:This is the best swimbait I've used. I have the fast sink and use a moderate speed retrive with a pause, twitch, crank. My first trip I caught 7 bass with 7 hits, one hook seems to work great, I had no missed hits. The color selection is also great. I would recommend this bait to anyone.
From:Paul: Manteca, CA
Comments:Floating B.H. Color this bait is going to kill'em! It looks so real! Great job Spro!
From:Tim: Grayson, GA
Comments:I'm a striper guide on Lake Cumberland in Ky. These baits are awesome! Striper love em! They bridge the gap between live bait and artificial. I would love to get a supply of these for down rigging.
From:Capt. Larry Louisville, KY

Bills activate LB Johnson, sign a CB
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 25 2014 2:14PM
For the second straight day, the Buffalo Bills have made moves on their roster. On Thursday the team brought in a reserve offensive lineman to help out in camp while releasing cornerback Brandon Smith. Just hours before their Friday evening practice, the Bills replenished the cornerback position.
The team announced that they've come to terms with free agent cornerback Bobby Felder. A former undrafted free agent out of Nicholls State in 2012, Felder spent the past two seasons on a practice squad. During his rookie season, he was with the Minnesota Vikings practice unit. He then signed on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the same role in 2013.
To make room for Felder on the roster, the Bills released defensive tackle Colby Way from the team. An undrafted free agent out of the University at Buffalo, Way signed with the team shortly after the 2014 NFL Draft. He was likely made expendable with the signing of defensive tackle Landon Cohen earlier in the week.
The Bills removed one more off their non-participation list for training camp. Seventh-round pick and rookie linebacker Randell Johnson started camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list but has now been cleared by the medical staff and will resume practice with his teammates.
All that remains on the team's non-participation lists are left tackle Cordy Glenn (Active/Non-Football Illness) and linebacker Kiko Alonso (Active/Non-Football Injury). The Bills resume practice Friday night at 6 pm at St. John Fisher College.

Hipster Holocaust: An Underground Film About a Pitchfork-Wielding Hipster Killer
"What happens when a deranged young man living in a hipster-infested LA neighborhood is pushed too far?" ask Jon D.A and Ian Shorr, creators of the Kickstarter-funded indie short Hipster Holocaust.
Set in the trendy LA neighborhood of Silver Lake, the film likens itself to "an 80's slasher flick starring the population of the Coachella parking lot, or an unholy marriage of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER and FALLING DOWN."
Sadly, Hipster Holocaust is merely "a fake trailer for the grindhouse movie you only wish existed," but should they ever decide to turn it into a full-length feature, at least you'll be able to say you knew about it before it was real.

My name is Rolf Furuli, and I live in the small town Stavern on the southern coast of Norway.I was a member of the b-Greek for many years from the 1990s. Now I am back again.
I started my academic studies at the University of Oslo when I was 40 years old. I received my MA in Semitic linguistics in 1995. I used ten years to study all the 90,00 finite and infinite verbs of the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the old Hebrew Inscriptions, and Ben Sira. I received my Ph.D in 2005, and my dissertation was entitled "A New Understanding of the Verbal System of Classical Hebrew An Attempt to Distinguish Between Semantic and Pragmatic Factors." I also have exams in Greek (2 year study), Latin, and Applied lingustics.
I have taught courses in Akkadian, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, Phoenician, Syriac, and Ugaritic at the University of Oslo and at The Norwegian Institute of Paleography and Historical Philology. I have also translated many documents from the mentioned languages and from Sumerian into Norwegian. I have written two books on Bible translation and two books on Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Persian chronology. I retired from the University of Oslo in 2011.
Interests and Projects
My interests are Bible translation, astronomical and dated cuneiform tablets, and historical and linguistic issues related to the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. At present I am working on a book entitled: "When Was the Book of Daniel Written? A Linguistic, Philological and Historical Approach," where I question the view that the book of Daniel was written in the second century BCE in connection with the acts of Antiochus IV. I am also working on a project where I compare the accounts of the creation and the flood in Genesis with the Babylonian and Sumerian accounts, and Akkadian and Pseudepigraphic prophecies with the prophecies in the Hebrew Bible, in order to find similarities and differences.

Competition, Development and Regional Integration: In Search of a Competition Law Fit for Developing Countries
Eleanor M. Fox
New York University School of Law
October 1, 2012
Competition Policy and Regional Integration in Developing Countries, Josef Drexl, Mor Bakhoum, Eleanor M. Fox, Michal Gal and David Gerber, eds. (Elgar 2012)
NYU Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-04
What form of antitrust (competition) law is fitting for regional free trade areas comprised of developing countries? This article explores the question by tackling, first: Are there special characteristics of developing countries indicating their need for a competition law different from emerging international standards, and if so what are these characteristics and what salient focal points provide a framework for law sympathetic with economic development? The article argues that there are such special needs, and it explores models that respond to those needs. It suggests a metric of efficient inclusive development. In any event, the article argues for a voice of developing countries in choosing their model - which could turn out to correspond or not with the formulations of law in the developed world. Blueprint transplants may be fitting; they may not be fitting; they may fit well enough so that developing countries choose not to incur the costs of difference. The key point is knowledgeable choice. Finally, the article explores how a regional setting can make a difference. It can help overcome problems of effectiveness, and harmful exercises of power by the state and vested interests; but it presents new challenges of effectiveness that must be overcome.
