having a guy cum loads in your mouth is fantastic and returning the favor is only polite
dreamer December 1, 2012
This is awesome. Nothing turns me on like watching a rock hard statue of a dick shoot its loads into a waiting, hungry mouth. It reminds me of one night when I was about 18. Me and a friend used to watch porn magazines together and wank each other's hard dicks. This night we were spending the night at my uncle and aunt's place and me and my friend had to share bed in a empty house that they owned. It wasn't long until we started wanking and all of a sudden we were lying in a sixty-nine. I wil never forget the sensation of his warm cum pumping into my hungry mouth and I remember I had to swallow a couple of times to be sure not to waste any of his delicious drops. If there's anything I want more than anything else in life before I go it must be to once again feel a rock hard cock between my lips and drink a young boy's sperma.
Letssuck January 2, 2014
Has anyone watched this all the way through before they came? I've been trying and my cock keeps shooting off!
paul December 26, 2013

feed me February 1, 2014
just makes me wanna suck cock while being fucked hard. brings back my favourite memory of sucking my first cock which just happened to be a nice looking thick long hard cock with a throbbing pink nob. I didn't really know what I was doing but the thought of this huge warm cock in my mouth totally turned me on. eventually I felt his cock start to pump and I could taste his warm man juice flow over my tongue and down my throat , I sucked the lot up and after that he returned the favour. loved it ever since

Sucking a lovely big hard cock and finding the guy has above average amount of love jizz is the iceing on the cake when it comes to oral sex, swallowing is a must.
manslut March 30, 2014

Wellhung August 14, 2012
REALBOYSUCK... Loved your story and I will tell you how it came about that I started with gay sex. You may have guest that with this nick name I have a large cock and one day while still at school I was taking a communal shower after a sports session when I noticed another lad eyeing up my cock. After we dressed he came up to me and remarked that it was the biggest he had ever seen, you should see it when its hard I said, love to he replied. I was somewhat taken aback but he was a good looking guy and it got me quite hard at the thought of showing off to hm. We met up that evening at his place as his parents were away. After the first awkward first few minutes we relaxed and he asked if I would like to go to his bedroom, you bet I replied as my bulge in my trousers was getting a little uncomfortable. Once behind closed doors we both stripped and he took hold of my cock and began to suck it, after a few minutes I pushed him away as I didn't want to cum just yet. I grabbed his big hard dick and sucked my first cock, he turned and got us ito a 69 position for some real nice sucking when I shouted out loud ''Im cumming'' and I sucked him harder and faster resulting in us both cumming together in each others mouths and it seemed so natural to swallow the warm natural sperm. Later we showered and promised to do it again as soon as possible.
suggestion September 5, 2012
I suggest someone in the vatican has this send over into ther popes private chapel .. Perhaps this mwill change his mind on beautiful gay sex - so much of natural and mutual blessing .....

charman July 16, 2012
Hot shots, love to have been on the business end of some of them. Love sucking cock and feeling that cum shoot across my tounge. When I can't get it I love giving myself facials.
REALBOYSUCK July 13, 2012
Last summer a college age guy picked me up in his hot convertable. Guess he liked my looks. Soon the conversation turned to sex. He wanted to know if I beatoff and whether I had ever had sex with another guy. The answers were "yes" and "no". Soon he was rubbing my bare legs. When his hand moved up to my crotch I already had a hardon. He wanted to take me to his apartment. It sure was okay with me. We arrived at his place, got completely naked and he gave me my very first blowjob. Damn it felt SO good and soon I cum in his mouth. After I had recovered a bit, he asked me to suck his cock. I knew from the time we were in his car that I wanted sex with him. His was the closest I'd ever been to another guy's cock. His cock was circumsized and so very beautiful. I don't know whether my first blowjob was any good or not, but soon he filled my mouth with his cum. I immediately swallowed ALL of it. I enjoyed his cumming in me and the taste of his semen. I have never seen he since, but I was proud of myself. To think that the same day I got my first blowjob was the same day that I gave my first blowjob. I am sure I was born GAY and had been waiting for it to surface in my life. I have had a lot of sex in the past year and swallowed lots of cum. My gay life is okay with, and with my family. Thanks for places like Youporn, where young gay guys like me can learn so much. I use Youporn videos to beatoff often.

i love this video. i love sucking cock.i love having a guy shoot his hot cum in my mouth.i love swallow hot creamy cum.

REALMENSUCK July 13, 2012
Last summer a college age guy picked me up in his hot car. I liked his looks and that of his car. We hadn't gone far before the conversation turned to sex. He asked me if I beatoff and whether I had ever had sex with another guy. My answers were "yes" and "no". He started rubbing my bare legs and it felt so good. Then I wasn't surprised when he rubbed my crotch, as I already had a hardon. He suggested that we go to his apartment. It sure was okay with me. When we got there we took off our clothes. We both had hardons and his naked body looked so gorgeous to me. When he put my cock in his mouth, I was in heaven. I probably cum too soon, but I couldn't help it because his sucking me was the best feeling I ever had ever had. After I recovered a bit, he asked me to suck him. I jumped at the chance. It was the closest I had ever been to another guy's cock. His cock was cut and so very beautiful. It felt so good to have my first mouthful of cock. I hope I did a good job, at least it didn't take long before he put his hands on my head and filled my mouth with his warm semen. I swallowed every drop of it and liked its taste. I know that I was born gay. I'm really proud that the same day I got my first blowjob was the same day I GAVE my first blowjob. Never have seen that guy since, but for me it was a very exciting experience. Life is a lot easier now, as my folks are okay about me being gay, and I have sex quite often with guys my age. I continue to be oral, and continue to swallow cum. I consider it an insult if a guy who blows me doesn't want to swallow my cum. Haven't had anal sex yet, and may not. I hate the thought of wearing a condom. I have rimmed a couple guys and like being rimmed. I guess some day a guy will want to fuck my butt and maybe I might let him. Thanks for sites like Youporn. I learned so much about gay life and use Youporn videos to beatoff to sometimes. YES, I do eat my own cum and sometimes drink a glass of my fresh warm piss. SO MUCH FOR ME, how about some of you other guys telling how you got started in the gay life. Thanx

paul January 4, 2013
Paul I fuckin loved this movie! I jacked off the entire showing. I wanted to be the guy swallowing the load in every scene. I can say this as a Bi man that has had a lot of pusy, there is something about a guy sucking my dick that makes me so hard. I have been with about 40 plus guys in my lifetime and everyone of them swallowed my load. Awseome.
Shaun December 3, 2012
dreamer .. that was just perfect and i've had similar experiemces, thinking about it a great threesome would be you, me and bob as we all love oral so much, just imagine three rock hard cocks all being sucked in different combinations and loads of warm cum pumping into our hungry mouths.

Computer Based Guidance in the Modern Operating Room: A Historical Perspective
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 209 - 222
Cited by: Papers (1)The past few decades have seen the introduction of many different and innovative approaches aimed at enhancing surgical technique. As microprocessors have decreased in size and increased in processing power, more sophisticated systems have been developed. Some systems have attempted to provide enhanced instrument control while others have attempted to provide tools for surgical guidance. These systems include robotics, image enhancements, and frame-based and frameless guidance procedures. In almost every case the system's design goals were achieved and surgical outcomes were enhanced, yet a vast majority of today's surgical procedures are conducted without the aid of these advances. As new tools are developed and existing tools refined, special attention to the systems interface and integration into the operating room environment will be required before increased utilization of these technologies can be realized.

Retinal Imaging and Image Analysis
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 169 - 208
Cited by: Papers (25) | Patents (1)Many important eye diseases as well as systemic diseases manifest themselves in the retina. While a number of other anatomical structures contribute to the process of vision, this review focuses on retinal imaging and image analysis. Following a brief overview of the most prevalent causes of blindness in the industrialized world that includes age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, the review is devoted to retinal imaging and image analysis methods and their clinical implications. Methods for 2-D fundus imaging and techniques for 3-D optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging are reviewed. Special attention is given to quantitative techniques for analysis of fundus photographs with a focus on clinically relevant assessment of retinal vasculature, identification of retinal lesions, assessment of optic nerve head (ONH) shape, building retinal atlases, and to automated methods for population screening for retinal diseases. A separate section is devoted to 3-D analysis of OCT images, describing methods for segmentation and analysis of retinal layers, retinal vasculature, and 2-D/3-D detection of symptomatic exudate-associated derangements, as well as to OCT-based analysis of ONH morphology and shape. Throughout the paper, aspects of image acquisition, image analysis, and clinical relevance are treated together considering their mutually interlinked relationships. View full abstract»
Bayesian Quantitative Electrophysiology and Its Multiple Applications in Bioengineering
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 155 - 168Bayesian interpretation of observations began in the early 1700s, and scientific electrophysiology began in the late 1700s. For two centuries these two fields developed mostly separately. In part that was because quantitative Bayesian interpretation, in principle a powerful method of relating measurements to their underlying sources, often required too many steps to be feasible with hand calculation in real applications. As computer power became widespread in the later 1900s, Bayesian models and interpretation moved rapidly but unevenly from the domain of mathematical statistics into applications. Use of Bayesian models now is growing rapidly in electrophysiology. Bayesian models are well suited to the electrophysiological environment, allowing a direct and natural way to express what is known (and unknown) and to evaluate which one of many alternatives is most likely the source of the observations, and the closely related receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a powerful tool in making decisions. Yet, in general, many people would ask what such models are for, in electrophysiology, and what particular advantages such models provide. So to examine this question in particular, this review identifies a number of electrophysiological papers in bioengineering arising from questions in several organ systems to see where Bayesian electrophysiological models or ROC curves were important to the results that were achieved.

Clustering Algorithms in Biomedical Research: A Review
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 120 - 154
Cited by: Papers (14)Applications of clustering algorithms in biomedical research are ubiquitous, with typical examples including gene expression data analysis, genomic sequence analysis, biomedical document mining, and MRI image analysis. However, due to the diversity of cluster analysis, the differing terminologies, goals, and assumptions underlying different clustering algorithms can be daunting. Thus, determining the right match between clustering algorithms and biomedical applications has become particularly important. This paper is presented to provide biomedical researchers with an overview of the status quo of clustering algorithms, to illustrate examples of biomedical applications based on cluster analysis, and to help biomedical researchers select the most suitable clustering algorithms for their own applications.

Dry-Contact and Noncontact Biopotential Electrodes: Methodological Review
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 106 - 119
Cited by: Papers (68)Recent demand and interest in wireless, mobile-based healthcare has driven significant interest towards developing alternative biopotential electrodes for patient physiological monitoring. The conventional wet adhesive Ag/AgCl electrodes used almost universally in clinical applications today provide an excellent signal but are cumbersome and irritating for mobile use. While electrodes that operate without gels, adhesives and even skin contact have been known for many decades, they have yet to achieve any acceptance for medical use. In addition, detailed knowledge and comparisons between different electrodes are not well known in the literature. In this paper, we explore the use of dry/noncontact electrodes for clinical use by first explaining the electrical models for dry, insulated and noncontact electrodes and show the performance limits, along with measured data. The theory and data show that the common practice of minimizing electrode resistance may not always be necessary and actually lead to increased noise depending on coupling capacitance. Theoretical analysis is followed by an extensive review of the latest dry electrode developments in the literature. The paper concludes with highlighting some of the novel systems that dry electrode technology has enabled for cardiac and neural monitoring followed by a discussion of the current challenges and a roadmap going forward.

Analog Integrated Circuits Design for Processing Physiological Signals
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 93 - 105
Cited by: Papers (10) | Patents (1)Analog integrated circuits (ICs) designed for processing physiological signals are important building blocks of wearable and implantable medical devices used for health monitoring or restoring lost body functions. Due to the nature of physiological signals and the corresponding application scenarios, the ICs designed for these applications should have low power consumption, low cutoff frequency, and low input-referred noise. In this paper, techniques for designing the analog front-end circuits with these three characteristics will be reviewed, including subthreshold circuits, bulk-driven MOSFETs, floating gate MOSFETs, and log-domain circuits to reduce power consumption; methods for designing fully integrated low cutoff frequency circuits; as well as chopper stabilization (CHS) and other techniques that can be used to achieve a high signal-to-noise performance. Novel applications using these techniques will also be discussed. View full abstract»
Optical Imaging Modalities for Biomedical Applications
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 69 - 92
Cited by: Papers (4)Optical photographic imaging is a well known imaging method that has been successfully translated into biomedical applications such as microscopy and endoscopy. Although several advanced medical imaging modalities are used today to acquire anatomical, physiological, metabolic, and functional information from the human body, optical imaging modalities including optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, multispectral endoscopy, and diffuse reflectance imaging have recently emerged with significant potential for non-invasive, portable, and cost-effective imaging for biomedical applications spanning tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. This paper reviews methods for modeling the propagation of light photons in a biological medium, as well as optical imaging from organ to cellular levels using visible and near-infrared wavelengths for biomedical and clinical applications.

Control of Hand Prostheses Using Peripheral Information
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 48 - 68
Cited by: Papers (27)Several efforts have been carried out to enhance dexterous hand prosthesis control by impaired individuals. Choosing which voluntary signal to use for control purposes is a critical element to achieve this goal. This review presents and discusses the recent results achieved by using electromyographic signals, recorded either with surface (sEMG) or intramuscular (iEMG) electrodes, and electroneurographic (ENG) signals. The potential benefits and shortcomings of the different approaches are described with a particular attention to the definition of all the steps required to achieve an effective hand prosthesis control in the different cases. Finally, a possible roadmap in the field is also presented. View full abstract»
Virtual and Augmented Medical Imaging Environments: Enabling Technology for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Interventional Guidance
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 25 - 47
Cited by: Papers (2)Virtual and augmented reality environments have been adopted in medicine as a means to enhance the clinician's view of the anatomy and facilitate the performance of minimally invasive procedures. Their value is truly appreciated during interventions where the surgeon cannot directly visualize the targets to be treated, such as during cardiac procedures performed on the beating heart. These environments must accurately represent the real surgical field and require seamless integration of pre- and intra-operative imaging, surgical tracking, and visualization technology in a common framework centered around the patient. This review begins with an overview of minimally invasive cardiac interventions, describes the architecture of a typical surgical guidance platform including imaging, tracking, registration and visualization, highlights both clinical and engineering accuracy limitations in cardiac image guidance, and discusses the translation of the work from the laboratory into the operating room together with typically encountered challenges.

In the Spotlight: Tissue Engineering
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 23 - 24There are numerous studies that are being conducted in elucidating the biophysical effects of cells. The papers highlighted in this review present several different approaches to tease out the contribution of multiple factors in these highly complex systems. As the field moves forward, the ability to perturb the in vivo cellular microenvironment in order to promote tissue regeneration will directly benefit from our understanding of the physical (and chemical) factors that regulate cell behavior.

In the Spotlight: Biomedical Signal Processing
Publication Year: 2010 , Page(s): 10 - 11BSP is a well established discipline and constitutes the corner stone for the training of Biomedical Engineers both at undergraduate and at graduate levels. No basic curriculum on Biomedical Engineering could even exist without one or more BSP courses. All the advanced methods of signal processing (from traditional linear digital filtering up to non linear higher-order approaches) have been applied to BSP. The EEG signal, which is basically pseudo-stochastic, is a good example: the information contained in the original tracings, which are generally used for physiological or clinical interpretation, is hardly directly interpretable unless a more or less complicate pre-processing is done. This reasoning is obviously applicable, in different contexts, to other biomedical signals. View full abstract»

Hales Corners — The number of annual drunken driving arrests have decreased since Hales Corners Police Department joined the Southeast Wisconsin OWI Task Force in 2010, said Sergeant Paul Brantman.
Only 17 drunken driving arrests have been made through April this year, according to data provided by the department. There were 42 arrests made in both 2013 and 2012, 65 in 2011, 82 in 2010 and 72 in 2009.
When asked if the decrease in arrests is a direct causation of the department joining the task force, Brantman said, "Yes. It's working."
Hales Corners is one of 27 state and county law enforcement agencies participating in the task force, which was created in 2005 to reduce drunken driving by enforcement.
Hales Corners officers are deployed twice a month to patrol streets, run license plates and enforce traffic safety. Deployment dates align with holidays such as St. Patrick's Day and Memorial Day weekend and sporting events such as Milwaukee Brewers games and the NCAA Tournament.
There were 15 total OWI arrests by 16 participating agencies April 5 during the Final Four deployment.
West Forest Home Avenue is one of the most active streets for traffic violations because it travels all the way to Milwaukee, said Officer Doug Sayeg.
Sayeg makes up to 30 traffic stops per night — most of which result in seat belt violations or other citations — and runs up to 100 license plates per shift while driving.
"It's kind of like fishing," Sayeg said. "You never know what you're going to get."

New Kid and Baby Products From ABC Kids Expo For 2013
94 New Baby Products That Will Hit Store Shelves in the Coming Year
It was a baby bonanza in Louisville, KY, this week, as more than 3,000 exhibitors showcased their latest creations at the ABC Kids Expo, the largest annual juvenile-products trade show in North America. From strollers and car seats to bottles and breast-milk bags, I walked the rows (upon rows, upon rows) in search of the best new products for parents and kids. Among the standouts: a shearling baby carrier just in time for Winter, the return of a bottle that breastfeeding parents love, and car seats that don't require an engineering degree for proper installation. If you're following us on Instagram (which you should be; we're lilsugar1), you got a play-by-play as I made my way through the convention, but for the rest of the crowd, here's a peek at what will be hitting store shelves in the coming months — and stay tuned for continued coverage of my favorite finds in the coming days!

News: Airmen volunteer in storm-wracked areas of Okla.
Story by Capt. Jeffre Nagan
MOORE, Okla. - Nature's wrath in the form of a 1.5-mile-wide, EF5 tornado ripped a path through the town of Moore, Okla., just south of Oklahoma City, May 20, killing 24, injuring hundreds and leaving thousands of homes in ruins. Within hours after the disaster, National Guard, state and federal first responders began rescue and recovery efforts. After three days, streams of people began returning to what were once their homes to pick up what is left of their personal belongings.
In addition to federal and state workers, more than 600 airmen from three Oklahoma Air Force bases volunteered to assist residents in recovering some of their effects, May 24. Much of the Air Force had the day off to spend time with their families, but for volunteers in the greater Oklahoma area, the day served as a chance to help other families.
"This was my chance to help the community," said 1st Lt. Linna De Cuir, air weapons officer, 964th Airborne Air Control Squadron, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. "The public is military friendly, and we want to give back to the community."
In addition to Tinker AFB, airmen from Altus AFB, Okla., and Vance AFB, Okla., joined in the cleanup effort.
"If I could find a memento or picture, it could mean a lot to the families," said De Cuir, who is originally from Lincolnton, N.C. "Even something little can go a long way."
Serving as extra hands and eyes, working alongside residents the volunteers sifted through the rubble, moving bricks, boards and other debris in search of valuables. For one resident, the discovery of fragments of a china set she inherited from her grandparents nearly brought her to tears.
"Even a few pieces help keep these memories alive with me," said Mona Thomas, a 35-year resident of Moore. "I can pass them down to my grandchildren."
Without the help of the airmen, she would have had to search through the debris by herself or wait for her relatives to arrive, Thomas explained. The airmen allowed her to immediately start uncovering the remains of her shattered home.
"I was coming in to dig out my stuff and these guys were here," she said, referring to the airmen who were still assisting residents after nearly eight hours. "They asked if I need anything, and they jumped right in."
Many of the airmen had started the volunteer effort as early as 8 a.m. Even as the sun began to dip in the evening, many were still among the rubble, helping local residents. Although their effort made a small impact, it strengthens hope and resolve in the community.
"I am devastated, but the community support is outstanding," said Thomas. "We are united Oklahomans. We are one family. It is just wonderful the love and support from complete strangers - strangers you may never meet again."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - After seven months of negotiations, the Sacramento Kings have purchased a mall that sits on the site of a planned $448 million arena.
The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/1eXGzNX) the team finalized the deal Thursday to buy Downtown Plaza from the San Francisco-based development firm JMA.
The newspaper says the exact purchase price was not available, but documents filed with the county show the Kings borrowed $35 million from Goldman Sachs Bank in connection with the transaction. The filing says the NBA approved the borrowing.
JMA will continue the management of Downtown Plaza and will partner with the Kings on the design and development of the project. In addition to a new arena, the property will include office towers, a hotel, housing and retail.
The arena is scheduled to be completed in 2016.

Synopsis for "Welcome to the Kree Empire"
Carol Danvers is giving Henry Gyrich a tour of Kang's captured flagship, the Damocles, which is now a base of operations for S.W.O.R.D., a new agency whose charter is to observe and deal with alien incursions, making peaceful first contact, if possible. Gyrich is their government liaison. Danvers takes Gyrich to the bridge, where Agent Brand is trying to get the Damocles AI to co-operate - at gunpoint. He is on hand to witness the arrival of the Kree starship. They hail the Kree vessel, and speak to the Kree commander, who informs them that Earth has been annexed, and they have fifteen seconds to surrender.
The Kree fire on the Damocles after the time has elapsed, but its shields hold under the initial assault. The Kree launch a shuttle, and Brand orders Danvers to take a team and deal with them while Brand deals with matters in orbit.At the Mansion, Hulk is having lunch. Stark and the Captain AmeriSkrull enter, fresh from a workout; Stark claims to be making progress. Stark goes to tinker with JARVIS, and CASkrull mentions the other Avengers have a lead on the Serpent Society. Hulk stops them before they get too far, telling them that SHIELD called, and needs help with an alien invasion.
Meanwhile, the Kree have landed, and disabled the S.H.I.E.L.D. first responders with apparent ease. Yon-Rogg wants to use the Earth heroes as target practice, Mar-Vell claims they have a fighting spirit the equal of the Kree, and the Supreme Intelligence has dispatched Ronan the Accuser to judge. The Kree soldiers are knocked to their feet by a red-blue-and-yellow blur - Ms. Marvel is on the attack! She declares herself, flanked by SHIELD Mandroid armor units, who have surrounded the Kree landing. She tells the Kree to go home, and is attacked by Yon-Rogg, but she blasts him and issues a final warning. Ronan the Accuser attacks, and the lines are drawn. Ronan puts the Mandroids and Ms. Marvel out of commission.
Up on the Damocles, the Kree ship is about to launch 5,000 attack fighters. Ronan and his ship have travelled to the city, where Ronan announces that the Terrans have a choice - join the Kree Empire, or be destroyed. Agent Brand calls Ms. Marvel, but there is no response. The Kree teleport boarding parties to the Damocles, and begin their attack.On the ground, Iron Man, Captain AmeriSkrull, and the Hulk confront the Kree, and Captain AmeriSkrull begins the attack before any discussion can be held. The Hulk and Iron Man go toe to toe with Ronan, while Ms. Marvel fights Mar-vell and CASkrull attacks the other Kree soldiers.
On the bridge of the Kree ship, we are told that the boarding party has captured the Damocles. On the Damocles, Agent brand, Gyrich, and S.W.O.R.D. Agents are fighting and retreating. Commander Kalem-Lo has used a captive alien to hack the Damocles AI, and the Kree have control of the ship, ready to use it against Earth upon Ronan's judgement. Brand calls Ms. Marvel on com-link, and tells Ms. Marvel that she must prevent Ronan from making any transmissions.Ms. Marvel joins the fight against Ronan the Accuser. Ronan has decided that the Earth is unworthy to join the Kree Empire, and gives the order for the Kree to destroy all life on the planet.
On the Damocles, Agent Brand tosses away her pistol and approaches Commander Kalem-Lo, hands raised, and surrenders - but its a ruse to allow her a surprise attack. taking down all the Kree soldiers. The captured alien is named Sydren who joins S.W.O.R.D. in exchange for their protection from the Kree. Gyrich says there was nothing in Brand's file about being super-human, and she responds "What makes you think I'm human?". Brand has Sedrin shut down Kree communications.Below, Mar-Vell informs Ronan that all communications with their ship are down. Ronan and the Avengers continue their battle.
Agent Brand leads a boarding party onto the Kree ship, and has Sydren lock down the whole vessel.Down below, Mar-Vell is downed by blasts from both Ronan and Ms. Marvel. Ms. Marvel defeats Ronan the Accuser. Brand has survived her review by Gyrich. Ronan the Accuser and Mer-Vell are imprisoned in 42, and Ms. Marvel officially joins the Avengers. Mar-Vell is upset because Earth won't surrender to the Kree, and the Kree will destroy them. Captain AmeriSkrull reports to the Skrulls that they need to step up their timetable, as the Kree are coming.

Abstract: The Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) of the fish stocks is assessed through exploratory surveys conducted in the Indian EEZ. This potential yield estimate provided the basis for development of fisheries including both traditional and modern fishing sectors in coastal and deep sea regions respectively. The Indian fisheries were exploited by small-scale fishermen until the 1950s. The introduction of trawling and a purse seining on large-scale during the second half of the twentieth century enabled India to increase the marine fish production to 2.9 million tonnes.
The present fleet strength of 228 758 fishing crafts consists of traditional craft (66 percent), motorized traditional crafts (17 percent) and mechanized boats (17 percent). The factors affecting the number and capacity of the fleet over the last two decades have been the magnitude of fish stocks, and fishing power of the vessels, profitability of each type of fleet and, in certain cases, the size of fishing gear. The fleet owners have diversified their fishing methods, with shrimpers and stern trawlers now fishing in the distant waters on resources such as deep sea demersals and tuna and allied fishes. There is also scope for diversification, especially for the shrimp trawlers, through shift fishing effort in the existing fishing grounds on to non-shrimp resources such as mackerel which are abundant on the same ground.
The indigenous fishing capacity is also reflected in the increased marine fish production over the years. India practices stratified random sample techniques in relation to space and time to collect and monitor the catches, landed by the indigenous fleet. The time series data on fish landing thus collected has enabled the assessment of the fish production and helped determining the optimum fleet size for each type of fishing crafts. There has been consensus on maintaining certain fishing fleet strength at the present level. In the case of deep sea fishing for demersal, midwater/pelagic and oceanic fish stocks, there is a need to upgrade the fishing capacity of larger crafts and introduce new generation vessels for tapping these resources.
India is one of the coastal nations that witnessed rapid development of marine fisheries in the post-EEZ era. As attendant responsibilities of a coastal State, India has been conducting exploratory surveys in the EEZ in order to determine the types of fish resources and their potential. Following the results of these surveys, there has been a renewed vigour in the introduction of new technologies and fishing methods in commercial sectors, and modernization of artisanal craft and fishing techniques. This provided impetus for horizontal and vertical expansion of fishing capacity. However the expansion of fishing areas has not been commensurate with the increase in capacity. The impact of this situation often manifests in the form of fluctuations in the coastal pelagic fish production. Nevertheless, India has made significant increases in marine fish production, achieving the seventh position among the fish producing nations of the world.
During the 1950s, India's marine fishing was mainly exploited by artisanal fishermen as fisheries aimed at subsistence. Commercial fishing activities were also developed by introducing trawling and purse seining techniques. Intensive and extensive surveys were also undertaken to provide necessary estimates on the potential of fish stocks, and the findings of these surveys led to the recommendation of a development programme emphasizing mechanization of suitable indigenous crafts during the second half of the current century.
Fishery Survey of India, (FSI) an agency of the Government of India, has been responsible for surveys and assessment of the marine fishery potential of the Indian EEZ. The Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) of the fish stocks from the Indian EEZ has been assessed as 3.9 million tonnes, which includes the demersal (1.93 million tonnes), pelagics (1.74 million tonnes) and oceanic (0.25 million tonnes) resources (Sudarsan et al., 1990). In contrast, the present marine fish production is only 2.9 million tonnes. The coastal zone (up to 50m depth), which holds an estimated potential production of 2.28 million tonnes, is experiencing fishing pressure by the operation of traditional and mechanized boats. The details of maximum sustainable yield and exploitation level of the resources in relation to depth zones are presented in Table 1.

The marine fish production registered a steady increase from 0.85 million tonnes in 1960 to 2.94 million tonnes in 1996 (Table 2). Motorization of the traditional crafts, introduction of mechanized boats in the traditional sector, diversification of fishing effort beyond 50 m depth, incorporation of new fishing technologies and development of purse-seining operation have resulted in the enhancement of the fish production over the years. The pelagic fisheries, such as oil sardine and mackerel fisheries, exhibit year-to-year fluctuations (Madhupratap et al,. 1994), mainly due to the oceanographic parameters.

There are several major categories of fishing fleets that operate in the coastal inshore and offshore waters. These are the non-motorized traditional craft, motorized traditional craft and mechanized boats, the latter of which include trawlers, purse-seiners, gillnetters and longliners. The decades up to the seventies were mostly dominated by the traditional craft. However, motorization of traditional crafts and introduction of mechanized boats brought about rapid changes in the exploitation of the inshore and offshore resources, achieving remarkable increases in production. The present fleet strength of the different categories of boats is 228 758 (Table 3)[80], of which 190 857 are traditional craft (both non-motorized and motorized) and 37 901 mechanized boats (Devaraj, 1998).

In 1985, non-motorized traditional crafts constituted 96 percent of the total traditional crafts while motorized crafts were only four percent (Table 3). In 1995, the percentage of non-motorized crafts was reduced to 79 percent, with an increase of 21 percent in motorized craft. Similarly, there was a corresponding increase in the number of mechanized boats from 46 percent in 1985 to 54 percent in 1995. The twin initiatives of shifting a number of crafts from non-motorized to motorization and increase in the introduction of mechanized boats resulted an increase in the fishing capacity by extending the areas of operation well beyond the 50 m depth zone and up to 150 m depth. The areas below 50 m depth (corresponding to 12 nautical miles distance from the shore) have been left exclusively for the traditional and small mechanized sectors through the legislation. The initiative of organizing workshops and effort to create awareness among the fishers and fleet owners regarding deep sea resources, diversified techniques and use of electronic fish finding, navigation and communication equipment have been helping in bridging the gap between the expansion of fishing capacity and the limitations of the traditional fishing areas, with greater emphasis placed on encouraging deep sea fishing.
The magnitude of fish stocks and fishing power compared with the scale of profit of each type of fleet, and in certain cases the size of fishing gear, are the determining factors in limiting fishing capacity. In order to ease out the fishing pressure in specific areas as well as on some resources like shrimps, fleet owners have been encouraged to undertake diversified fishing by suitably converting their vessels. Free training is offered in specialized fishing for deep sea shrimp and lobsters, tuna longlining, etc., as an incentive to undertake diversification. The effort made by the Indian Government in establishing the deep sea fishing development during the past two decades by encouraging the fishers to undertake deep sea fishing has been a positive action towards sustainable development of the fisheries. At present, there are about 80 deep sea fishing vessels in operation. Some of these are being suitably modified to shift their fishing activity onto non-shrimp resources. A number of these shrimpers have also been converted to multipurpose fishing activities (Somvanshi, 1999), diversifying operation by migrating from shrimp grounds on the east coast to west coast for harvesting squids and cuttlefishes, deep sea shrimps and lobsters (MOA, 1996, MPEDA, 1996).
The application of advanced technology to increase marine productivity of outer shelf and high seas is yet to be undertaken, as it requires huge investment. Management measures such as controlling fishing effort through catch quota system or TACs is difficult in the open access system. A strict control of a number of fishing licences and fishing power of individual vessels will be useful and effective in the management of the resources.
The deep sea fishing schemes are expected to result in further increases in fish production from the oceanic region in the Indian EEZ. The schemes aim to familiarize the Indian fishers in oceanic fishing enterprises and skills. These schemes pertain to the charter of fishing vessels (1981) and joint venture and leasing foreign vessels (1991). The schemes implemented during the eighties and nineties provided necessary inputs in achieving these objectives. In 1990, the Indian Ocean tuna production reached a peak of 12 572 tonnes (Somvanshi and John, 1996). The details of the fishing fleet mainly tuna longliners and catches are given in Table 4.

Some of the Indian fishers also acquired tuna longliners and contributed to the production of tuna and allied fishes, albeit in small quantities. The charter scheme was replaced in 1991 with schemes encouraging joint venture and leasing of foreign fishing vessels. Nevertheless, these schemes could not match the charter capacity, thereby creating a decline in the capacity for oceanic tuna resources exploitation. The exploratory survey results and the operation of chartered vessels have shown and proved that the Indian EEZ has considerable potential for tunas (0.25 million tonnes). India has therefore greater scope to build up oceanic resource fishing capacity in the new millennium.
The marine fishing capacity in the form of traditional motorized and mechanized boats is being assessed at institutional level. In one such exercise, the optimum fleet for different categories of crafts (CMFRI, 1998) was estimated (Table 5).
This is the first ever attempt to consider all the types of fleet for determining their optimum sizes. However, the optimum fleet size has to be linked with specific fisheries and the extent of distributional range of the fish stocks and the effective fishing zone. Another important aspect to be considered, along with environmental parameters which will have relevance to determine the fishing fleet strength, is the fact that the tropical conditions in which the majority of the stocks are prolific breeders and that the fisheries operate on zero to two year class strength of the fishes. The new millennium should focus on these aspects, undertaking necessary R&D activities and linking them with fleet strength and management measures need to be applied in the fishing practices in the seas around India.

The Ministry of Agriculture is the agency that collects, collates and monitors the fish catches and fishing fleets through the provincial governments, fisheries departments and the central institutions like Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) and Fishery Survey of India (FSI). A stratified random sampling involving the clusters of the landing centres and days for enumeration developed by the CMFRI is used for collecting catch and effort data and other relevant information. Information on the fishing crafts and gear is collected through a census by the central and state agencies, which are updated from time to time. At the national level, capacity limitation in certain fisheries was exercised by imposing bans. For example, in the shrimp fishery, acquiring outrigger shrimp trawlers during the eighties was prohibited.
The Marine Fisheries Regulation Act (MFRA) by the maritime provincial government and the deep sea fishing schemes, as provided under the Maritime Zones of India (operation of foreign fishing vessels) Act 1981 of the Government of India, provide for prohibition of fishing by larger vessels in the areas earmarked for the traditional and small motorized crafts, shrimp and lobster grounds, and marine reserves/parks. Also, these Acts allow the imposition of bans on fishing during the monsoon season, thereby providing respite to the brooders and ensuring recruitment to the stocks. There have been also mesh size regulations provided under the provincial Acts and national legislation with reference to the specific gears and use of explosives and dynamites is prohibited. For monitoring the fishing activities to be carried out in different assigned fishing zones by respective fleets, petrol boats are provided to the fisheries department of the maritime States. The resources monitoring surveys conducted by the FSI are being linked with the management measures to be evolved and applied for sustainable development of fisheries.
India has registered a rapid developmental phase in marine fisheries during the second half of the twentieth century, achieving a current annual marine fish production of 2.94 million tonnes from the Indian EEZ. Mechanization of the indigenous crafts, introduction of commercial fishing techniques, and launching of deep sea fishing schemes were the main factors responsible for achieving the present level of fishing capacity and fish production.
The industry also experienced upheaval during the mid-eighties due to over-dependence on large trawlers in the North East Coast on shrimp stocks. Nevertheless, the experience triggered the acceptance of diversified fishing by the fishers for non-shrimp resources and catalyzed the idea of shifting fishing activity in the same region and transferring effort to distant areas. In the small and medium mechanized sectors, diversification from stern trawling operation to purse seining and longlining was found acceptable to the fishers. Thus, the fishing capacity is still within the range of sustainable fisheries considering the distributional expanse and potential of fish stocks in the Indian EEZ. However, there is consensus at National level that the strength of the mechanized fleet should be maintained at the present level. The efforts are on for providing modern electronic equipments such as echosounders, fishfinders, GPS and communication equipment etc. to the larger boats among the mechanized fleet so that these boats will be able to undertake fishing in distant and deeper waters for the deep sea and oceanic resources identified and their magnitude determined through the exploratory surveys.

"I have spent much of my career examining the effects of religious belief on people's lives—historically, a far more profound influence on society and individuals than politics, which is the subject of so much journalism. I was drawn to write this book by the questions that so many people have about Scientology? What is it that makes the religion alluring? What do adherents get out of it? How can seemingly rational people subscribe to beliefs that others find incomprehensible? Why do popular personalities associate themselves with a faith that is likely to create a kind of public relations martyrdom? These questions are not unique to Scientology, but they certainly underscore the conversation. In attempting to answer them in this book, I hope we can learn something about what might be called the process of belief. Few Scientologists have had a conversion experience—a sudden, radical reorientation of one's life; more common is a gradual, wholehearted acceptance of propositions that might have been regarded as unacceptable or absurd at the outset, as well as the incremental surrender of will on the part of people who have been promised enhanced power and authority. One can see by this example the motor that propels all great social movements, for good or ill."

Originally published in Creation 20(2):26, March 1998
'… much of contemporary cosmology deals with things like inflation and the big bang that have not been directly observed, and probably never will be. Andrej Pacholczyk of the University of Arizona in Tucson views cosmology as "noncorrespondence science"—one based on almost pure speculation.'
Margaret Wertheim, 'God of the Quantum Vacuum', New Scientist 156(2102):28–31, 1997.
