Opinion: The net effect
By Helen Margetts, Professor of Society and the Internet at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford
1 March 2011
2011 is bringing dramatic political developments in a growing list of Arab states, including Iran, Tunisia, Jordan, Algeria, Yemen, Libya, Bahrain and Egypt, where mass demonstrations are challenging authoritarian regimes. The media has associated the internet with all these protests but in Egypt the internet was cut off for six days on day three of the 18-day protest leading to the unseating of President Mubarak. So is the internet really vital to contemporary protest, or is the 'net effect' insignificant?
The scale, sustainability and success of the Egyptian protests raise questions for political science, which draws on Olson's argument that the 'logic of collective action' works against mass demonstrations. Large-scale mobilisation will be paralysed by 'free-riders', people who still receive the benefits of collective action without incurring the costs, which in Egypt were tragically high for many. Some argue that mobilisations can be rescued by a critical mass of activists who undertake the bulk of the costs. But this work doesn't quantify critical mass, or provide tools to predict when mobilisations will attain it.
Enter the internet. Although commentators have long predicted the potential of technology to empower citizens and subvert bureaucratic power, mainstream political science has tended to minimise the effect of the internet on collective action.
Some recent research identifies internet use and skills as being significantly associated with political activity, as much as interest in politics. Other researchers dismiss this 'aimless surfing' as mere 'slacktivism'. The author Malcolm Gladwell argued in the New Yorker on 4 October 2010 ('Why the Revolution won't be tweeted') that the 'weak ties' accumulated on the internet could never bring about the type of organised protest that sparked off the civil rights movement.
Perhaps the best clue to how the internet mobilises protestors comes from economics. In Micromotives and Macrobehaviour Schelling argues that people differ in their threshold for joining a mobilisation. This variation can lead to a 'tipping point' at around 45 per cent of the number needed for success; when they perceive that this is reached, most potential joiners will join.
So what was the number of protestors needed to act collectively to unseat Mubarak? We don't know, but in the minds of protestors, one million was highly significant. On 1 February, the first 'march of millions', involving between one and two million protestors in Cairo alone (Al Jazeera), was clearly a turning point for both the protestors and the regime.
The first protest in Egypt took place on 25 January. We don't know how many protestors gathered on the first days but it seems there were tens of thousands rather than Schelling's tipping point, 45 per cent of one million.
On 27 January, the Egyptian government shut down access to the internet through the main Egyptian ISPs. But by this time, the internet had given three important signals to potential protestors that the tipping point had been reached. First, it had publicised plans for the demonstrations of 28 January via Facebook, Twitter and SMS, which had been used by the early protestors (with low joining thresholds) for many months.
Second, the Google executive Wael Ghonim's Facebook page (We Are All Khaled Said) showing images of a young man brutally killed by Egyptian police, had collected 473,000 supporters. It was a weak signal, yet important for the five million Egyptian Facebook users in a newly impoverished information environment, with little coverage of the protests by the state-controlled media and events on the ground making it impossible to judge numbers.
Third, the very act of cutting off the internet sent a 'nice fat public signal' (see the economist Jeff Ely's blog) to the protestors that the regime considered the protest a real threat. It also minimised the likelihood of potential protestors being put off by news of pro-government violence.
On 28 January, the number of demonstrators reached 'hundreds of thousands' in most reports and continued to grow into the 'march of millions'. Malcolm Gladwell might like to revisit his own book - the Tipping Point - before dismissing the potential of internet-based protest to topple governments.
Professor Helen Margetts has been awarded an ESRC Professorial Fellowship to study citizen-government interactions in the context of digital communications (RES-051-27-0331: The internet, political science and public policy: re-examining collective action, governance and citizen-government interactions in the digital era).

Ex-KB Home head gets home detention, $1M fine
LOS ANGELES Former KB Home chief Bruce Karatz walked away from his stock option backdating trial Wednesday with a $1 million fine and eight months of GPS-monitored detention in his Bel-Air mansion.
U.S District Judge Otis Wright said the sentence, which also includes five years of probation and 2,000 hours of community service, was appropriate for a defendant who had no criminal history and had not been convicted of a violent crime.
He dismissed prosecutors' arguments that excusing the homebuilding giant's former CEO from a harsher sentence would invite claims that he was getting off easy because of his wealth.
"I don't care, sir, whether or not you have a pot to piss in," Wright said to Karatz, who had faced up to 10 years in prison. "What you get here is fairness."
Karatz had no comment after the hearing as he traded handshakes and kisses with the smiling and teary-eyed supporters who had packed to courtroom.
The backers, many of whom had written court briefs in Karatz's defense, included KB Home co-founder Eli Broad - now a prominent philanthropist - former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and the Rev. Greg Boyle, who founded the Homeboy Industries anti-gang program.
Karatz had become a Homeboy Industries volunteer since his conviction in April, court papers showed.
"I certainly have a sense of relief," said his lawyer, John Keker.
U.S. attorney's office spokesman Thom Mrozek had no comment.
Karatz was found guilty of two counts of mail fraud, one count of lying to company accountants and one count of making false statements in reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. He was acquitted on 16 other counts and wright later overturned one of the mail fraud counts.
Prosecutors claimed Karatz made $6 million by illegally backdating stock options between 1998 and 2005 while he was chairman and chief executive of Los Angeles-based KB Home. The counts Karatz was convicted of stem from mid-2006, when prosecutors said he concealed and lied about his role in the backdating.
A stock option allows an employee to purchase a company's stock at a preset price at a future date. Karatz retroactively tied the exercise price of his options to dates when the stock was selling for a low price, which increased his profit when he sold the shares.
The maneuver is legal if it is properly accounted for and disclosed to investors. Otherwise, it can allow companies to overstate profits and underpay taxes.
Prosecutors had claimed in a court filing that the gravity of Karatz's offense overwhelmed the penalties recommended by a probation office recommendation on which Wright based his sentence.
The "recommendation suggests that there is a two-tiered system of justice, one for well-connected CEOs who can break the rules ... and then lie about it with virtual impunity, while ordinary citizens ... face far more severe penal consequences," prosecutors wrote.
Wright was visibly angered by the suggestion that the recommendation, which he praised, was unfairly lenient.
"To invite public ridicule and scorn on this institution, I think, is unspeakable," the judge said.

Hey You've made some nice progress here. Good work!
I was going to comment that you need to do more traditional studies (anatomy, color lighting, etc.,) but it seems you're all over that.
I do however think you could spend more time working on perspective studies, don't fall into the same pit that i dug myself into by focusing so much on figure studies and color/light that you neglect other fundamentals.
Good work.

Investigation Of Saskin Hiring Continues
by Paul on 01/25/07 at 04:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the CP via the Globe and Mail,
Ted Saskin is facing yet another challenge to his leadership of the National Hockey League Players' Association, with a majority of the 30 union-player reps approving an independent investigation into his hiring.
The probe was announced Thursday in a release from a New York-based public relations company as players and officials were scattered across the continent following Wednesday night's all-star game.
"This is an informative investigation that we feel will preserve the integrity of our NHLPA constitution and leadership process," Mathieu Schneider, a Detroit Red Wings defenceman and interim NHLPA executive committee member, said in the release. "The purpose of the investigation is to clear the air, produce clarity on these questions and fortify a strong unified union."

Rail Cam Review

from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Something called the "Rail Cam," a high-definition camera that raced along the top of the glass - and the bottom of the television screen.
It kept catching my eye, like a mouse darting through the garage.
"What was that?!"
It was, in fact, another misguided NHL attempt to make its game television-friendly.
Stop trying so hard, people. If it's the speed of the game you're trying to convey, forget it.

Bad Tuesday, Better Wednesday

from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
(On Tuesday's Young Stars game) "We know who those people [in the upper levels] are," one league official stated emphatically on Wednesday. "We know they paid to be here. And that's not the game we wanted to showcase. We can't sell the game with an effort like that. The fans deserve a better effort than that. We made that clear to the players [taking part in the All-Star Game]. It has to be better."
So the league can consider Tuesday's black eye sufficiently covered up by Wednesday's All-Star tilt. Here's hoping they don't forget the lesson learned about playing a game that at least somewhat resembled hockey.
Of course if it slips their mind, the fans who actually paid to be there will be sure to remind them.

Get A Team In Vegas

from Kara Yorio of the Sporting News,
In the Penguins' search for a new home, put Vegas on the shortlist. If the Pens stay in Pittsburgh, then push for moving the next team that relocates to the city of desert and lights. No offense to Kansas City or Portland or Winnipeg. But put a team in Las Vegas, Mr. Bettman. Don't be afraid.
In an e-mail, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said he didn't think the league had a definitive position on the possibility of putting a franchise in Vegas but "certainly, there would likely need to be some changes to current practices" for Las Vegas. He said he was not in a position to say what those changes might be.
A change is necessary—in the mentality of league management.

Lalime appeared in four games for Norfolk posting a record of 3-1-0 with a 2.49 goals against average and a .930 save percentage.
Lalime underwent back surgery in early September to repair a herniated disc and has not yet played for the Blackhawks this season.
The Blackhawks currently have three goaltenders on their roster with Nikolai Khabibulin, Brian Boucher, and Patrick Lalime.

Gordie Howe - That Says Enough
by Paul on 01/25/07 at 03:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
from John McGourty of NHL.com,
Gordie Howe has one piece of advice for aspiring young hockey players, or for anyone contemplating doing anything: Don't do it if you don't love it!
That was Howe's answer when asked which of the 1950s dynastic NHL teams was better, his Detroit Red Wings that won four Stanley Cups in six years or the 1956-60 Montreal Canadiens that won five-straight Stanley Cups.
"How would I know?" Howe said. "I never saw myself or my teammates play. I'm no judge. I didn't play the game to be called the best or be the leading scorer. I played because I loved it and I loved to win and I was lucky to play with others who felt the same way and we won a few championships."

Connolly's Health Will Influence Sabres Trade Talk

Comments (0)
from Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News,
The NHL trade deadline is one month from Saturday. The Sabres should be looking to get better for a Stanley Cup run. But it won't be easy for Darcy Regier to deal with potential trade partners while Tim Connolly's playing status remains up in the air.
The Sabres are still hoping Connolly will recover from his concussion in time for a playoff push. If Connolly doesn't return, his salary average of $2.9 million won't count against the cap. So until Regier knows exactly how much wiggle room he has under the cap, his ability to negotiate will be compromised.

Shanahan's Suggestion's Unsafe At Any Speed
by George Malik on 01/25/07 at 01:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
By George James Malik
Competition Committee founder Brendan Shanahan held court before the All-Star Game's skills competition on Tuesday, and the Human Quote Machine made an interesting comment regarding the league's crackdown on goaltending equipment:
"The goalies are going to hate me for saying this, but I think we failed a little bit with the goaltenders and streamlining their equipment," said Shanahan, one of a handful of players on the NHL's competition committee.
After the lockout, the committee pushed the league to downsize goaltender equipment by about 10 percent. But Shanahan—and others—aren't so sure the changes had the desired effect.
"So much of the focus was on the width of their pads, and it's really about the upper body," Shanahan said. "You want to make sure these guys are protected.
"But I just don't understand how a cop can walk down the street in a bulletproof vest and look normal, yet our goalies have to look like lacrosse goalies, or Michelin men, to stop a puck."

Talarians AND Tamarians?! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
A quick read up on some of the new random ship types will show up in neutral gravity wells.
Posted by Maxloef1990 on Apr 9th, 2013
In sins there are always neutral ships in gravity wells, these ships will be replaced with TNG's aliens of the week vessels. In the show these vessels were often redresses of ships seen previously on screen.
This mod will use those ships, with each having a different role. The ships currently planned as neutral vessels are:
Talarian observation craft - Light frigate
"The Mondor" - Anti Fighter
Tamarian Vessel - Long range and or Siege frigate
Talarian warship - Heavy Frigate
As sins veterans will know gas giants and other worlds that cannot be colonised have pirates around them, these will be occupied by one or more ferengi vessels.
More screenshots up soon!

My other favorite is roasted salsa. We would sometimes make it over mesquite coals at my friend's ranch. Ingredients are basically the same, but we would roast the peppers, tomatoes and onion over the fire before chopping up or putting in a blender for the salsa.
And don't forget the guacamole! Just mix/crush the avocado with some onion, tomato, lime juice and salt to taste.
Aside from using Cholula hot sauce (from Mexico), that's exactly how I've made my salsa for years - spent quite a few winters in Mexico and became very intimate with local salsas. I don't think they even know what "candied fruit" is. Reminds me of my aunt's holiday fruit cake (Yucko!).
I thought I was the only one who adds minced veggies, grilled over mesquite smoked coals.

Information Builders and Axiom EPM Announce Strategic Partnership for Business Intelligence & Performance Management
Custom Adapter Seamlessly Integrates Financial Planning & Analytics Engine with BI Tools for Optimized Organizational Decision Making and Profitability Management
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI), analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions and, Axiom EPM, a leading provider of financial planning and performance management software for enterprises, today announced that they have formed a strategic business and technology partnership. Under the terms of this partnership agreement, Axiom EPM will be the preferred Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) partner for Information Builders´ clients, and Information Builders will be the preferred BI, data integration and quality partner for Axiom EPM clients.
The partnership is a reflection of the natural synergies between BI and EPM functions and also reflects how the office of the CFO and CIO are increasingly working closely together to introduce systems and processes that optimize business performance. The recent increase in big data and the volume and complexity of financial and operational information has contributed to an increasing need for more sophisticated models to support various forms of strategic and operational planning. Finance teams must become more agile and responsive to organizational needs, shifting their time away from more tactical data management tasks to spending more time modeling at the enterprise level and delivering high-value analysis that can impact decision making and ultimately profitability.
The combined value of the Information Builders and Axiom EPM partnership enables this transformation with proven expertise, methodologies and technology integration. To support this new partnership, Information Builders and Axiom EPM have jointly developed an adapter that enables WebFOCUS business intelligence users to seamlessly and securely query the Axiom EPM financial planning and analytics platform, empowering customers with a full range of business analytics tools to realize the promise and power of EPM. As a result, the robust financial planning content created and stored in the Axiom EPM application becomes a rich and trusted information source that can be consumed by a wide variety of decision makers and functions across the organization for real-time, in context, decision making.
The industry leading capabilities offered through the Information Builders and Axiom EPM partnership are being leveraged at Sterling Bank, one of the largest regional community banks in the western United States. Sterling Bank needed to rationalize a complex heterogeneous landscape composed of various legacy data sources. They also needed comprehensive performance management capabilities for planning, profitability measurement and incentive compensation. "The combination of Information Builders´ iWay and WebFOCUS tools along with Axiom EPM´s comprehensive performance management platform will deliver the trusted data governance along with the planning and profitability analytics required to understand the key business drivers and inform better decision making." said Laura Roberts, SVP, Financial Planning & Analysis Executive, Sterling Bank.
In addition to complementary technologies, both firms share a singular business focus on their respective domains and make customer satisfaction the top priority –each ranking in the upper tier of various industry surveys. "We are extremely excited to be able to offer our customers the ability to seamlessly integrate strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, profitability management and analytics on one integrated platform and database structure," said Gerald Cohen, CEO, Information Builders. Mike Choi, CEO, Axiom EPM, added, "working with another privately held company that shares a common vision and focus on customer success will help ensure a successful business and technical partnership for many years to come."

Hello everyone. This is my first post to this board. I have been Gluten Free for about 2 years now. My diet is going very well, although it is a bit difficult to handle at times for me because I am also an insulin dependent diabetic for the last 25 years. All the rice/potato/corn is very high in glycemic content and can cause large spikes in blood sugar levels. I have become healthy enough in the last year to control my blood sugar levels pretty well through going to the gym, walking, golfing, etc, but life has become so routine! I'm only 29 years old and I live like a hermit. My co-workers don't understand my situation, and my social outlets have become non-existant. I am trying to date and it is so hard to explain to potential dates all of my health problems. Eating out is just not really a possibility it seems. I am allergic to so many things besides gluten (fish/seafood, nuts, seeds of all kinds, onions, spices, coconut, raspberries, etc.)
I would be interested in hearing if others out there have multiple allergies (I bet there are a bunch) and how you go about eating out, travelling, whatever else. I'm too young to be living like a hermit! Later, -Mike [/FONT]

Nous avons été forts déçus. Tout d'abord le quartier n'est pas du tout agréable (et pourtant cela n'est pas difficile à Ubud), ni calme.
Ensuite grosse déception au niveau du logement. Car si les prestations semblent luxueuses sur le papier et sur certains détails, le rendu est différent. Oui le cottage en bois est beau, bon lit... mais le principal n'y est pas. Salle de bain non aérée, odeur pas très agréable. Présence d'une multitude d'abeilles (mortes ou vivantes) dans la chambre et encore plus dans la salle de bain.
Et puis on pourrait croire que le balcon donne sur un beau jardin (photo) alors que cela n'est pas le cas. Il donne sur des arbres et puis c'est tout (ravin derrière). Pas de jardin autour non plus, juste des chalets posés sur un terrain. Nous avions choisi cet endroit pour le calme et l'espace à la base, nous n'avons trouvé aucun des deux (bruits de bars (?) le soir et bruits très tôt le matin, plus que d'habitude). Cher pour Ubud étant donné la prestation globale
Dear Ms.Christelle
I am truly sorry that you had such a disappointing visit.
I want you to know that we take your concerns seriously.
At first We have already gotten rid of bees from our place.
And about balcony view,although we describe captions as 'big balcony with jungle view' on the photos of the listing,we should have explained that garden photo is not balcony view.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to fix something that is wrong.
Thank you again,
This place was perfect for us. Comfy beds, good air-con, friendly staff. I would absolutely come back again.
You will probably need to take a taxi if you're wanting to get into the centre of Ubud. Its not expensive though. Staff gave us helpful tips: like how much a fair taxi fee would be to get from this place into the heart of Ubud.
I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Very helpful and very clean and quiet. Highly recommend!!! 5 stars!!!
It was really great time staying here!
All photos are real and completely corresponds to reality.
Thanks so much to Mr. Ketut for organizing lots of attractions and helping us with transfers! Food was very delicious.
Also we haven't faced any issues with mosquitoes or insects.
I would definitely recommend this place.
Mr Ketut and others staff is very nice. Their food (Breakfast/Dinner) also very delicious! The room is clean, big, and beautiful with wooden decoration but a lot of mosquito, remember to buy mosquito repellent. They also provided massage service in room service with additional charge, price was fair enough. We do tried their traditional Bali massage in our room, it's very nice and relax too.
Beautiful room, excellent service, very private and peaceful. Had a great stay.
We had a good time there. The house was clean and tidy! And the landlord was a pretty nice person.

About the Host, Fujita
Hello! I met with Bali 13 years ago. My first visit made me fall in love with this island.
After that many troubles happened in my life, I was in hopeless.
But always Bali accepted me and gave me a healing light,living energy and hope for future.
Then I become thinking to hope shareing such a charm of the Island with many people.
That is the reason why I built our cottage here.
Now I go back and forth between Bali and Japan.
So my partner Mr.Ketut (who has been my freidend for more 10 years)and his family will walcome guest!
We are not 5stars hotel,but have a freiendly hospitality like a homestay.
In addition we keep your praivate space like a villa.
I am reallly happy if you enjoy our stay and get energy for tomorrow,
Your sincerely
Yuichi Fujita

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today on Arizona's 2010 immigration enforcement law that has triggered boycotts, protests and litigation. Lower courts have blocked major elements of
What are the specifics of the case?
The case centers on the question of state versus federal authority over immigration.
Lawyers for the federal government are challenging SB 1070 because they contend that Arizona does not have the power to police illegal immigration or create its own laws targeting the undocumented.
Arizona has defended SB 1070 since it became law in 2010. Arizona argues that it has the right to pass such laws because of the cost the state incurs and because SB 1070 is consistent with federal policies.
Major elements of the law, which are blocked by an injunction, require law enforcement officers to seek documentation proving citizenship or legal status if they suspect an individual of being in the U.S. without permission; allow police to arrest someone without a warrant or probable cause of a crime if they believe the person is deportable; make it a violation of state law when immigrants do not carry proof of residency; and make it a crime for the undocumented to apply for work.
What impact could the high court's ruling have in Arizona?
People who believe the law should be upheld said it is high time the legislation gets enacted.
If the U.S. Supreme Court validates SB 1070, legal experts said the policing of minority populations would begin in Arizona and spread across the country as other states and localities join in on the immigration enforcement trend.
Concerns about civil-rights violations have driven immigrant-advocacy groups to oppose the Arizona law through rallies, economic boycotts and the like. They said affirmation of the law by the high court would create chaos and lead to abuses such as racial profiling in Arizona.
"It would be devastating. It would be a rollback of our basic, hard-fought civil rights," said Andrea Guerrero, executive director of the Equality Alliance of San Diego, which works to promote voter engagement.
What are the possible political repercussions?
The potential political outcome is perhaps the most talked-about aspect of the SB 1070 case. Analysts on numerous sides of the immigration debate agree that the Supreme Court's ruling likely would be a focal point and a spark for action during an election year when the Latino vote is widely considered critical.
Latinos do not have a consistent history of mobilizing around an immigration issue, but because this law is expected to directly affect more than just undocumented immigrants, experts said Latinos of all backgrounds are paying attention.
If the court favors the law, it would be a legal blow to President Barack Obama but possibly a political benefit to him. His re-election team has been working hard to maintain his clear advantage over presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney among Latinos, as shown in numerous polls during recent months. Obama's campaign strategists believe Latinos would more likely blame Republicans than Democrats if SB 1070 is upheld.
Romney has espoused the concept of self-deportation — making life difficult enough for the undocumented so they voluntarily leave the U.S. — and portrayed the Arizona law as a model for other states. Whatever the high court's decision, he could call for greater security along the U.S.-Mexico border and stricter immigration enforcement beyond the border.

Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is determined to have a big Euros with Russia.
Having led Fulham's attacking line with admirable composure, Pavel is hopeful of making a similar impact for Russia at this summer's European Championship.
"Four years ago in Austria and Switzerland, we achieved unbelievable things," he told the Club's official magazine Fultime. "We reached the semi-final and played some fantastic football. It was an amazing achievement.
"To miss out was very difficult, but this is my chance to make up for that and it is a real honour to be part of the squad for Euro 2012. I would love to show my strengths on the highest stage and enjoy one of the top international tournaments."

It hasn't been all that long since we last got to check out Katamari Forever, and one of the levels being demoed was actually the same as the previous demo (rolling the Katamari around to plant flowers), so we didn't spend much time with it. Instead, we sought to explore the other stage, which was traditional Katamari fare.
Let's get this straight: Katamari Forever is a beautiful game. It looks marvelous, and even though we were only able to view the one visual filter (the cel-shaded toon look), we have a feeling the other three will be equally as stunning. Just call it a hunch.
Another new implementation is a bounce maneuver that the Prince can employ at anytime. By hitting one of the shoulder buttons, you can bounce into the air. Or, you can simply use the Sixaxis's motion-sensing abilities to get the same effect without hitting a button. The new maneuver works effectively regardless of what mean gets you to that end, and is especially useful when you're stuck in a corner. Though, it should be mentioned you can't use the Sixaxis to turn or control the Katamari outside of bouncing.
Outside of that, it's really the same experience you've come to know. If it ain't broke, don't fix it is the name of the game here for Namco, and most of the improvements promised for the final game are cosmetic in nature. If that sounds fine to you, then you'll likely enjoy Katamari Forever for what it is: an old classic with a new paint job.

The project was shut down when two of the first three subjects died from neural breakdown. The only successful subject of the project was David Gadley.
With the failure of the augmentation process on multiple subjects, the project lost all funding and backing from the Federation and Section 31.
Despite not getting the "army of soldiers" that they wanted out of the project, Admiral Quinn believed that the one successful subject was worth backing.
Admiral Quinn proposed the idea of giving David Gadley the command of a new prototype starship and an elite squad to be the Federation's "secret weapon". A ship and crew focused on special operations.
The Federation officials who knew about the project agreed to revive it for this new "second phase" once the subject completed training at Starfleet Academy.
David Gadley completed his Starfleet training and was given command of the prototype starship U.S.S. Nexus.
To: OP
I actually liked reading this background.
Yes, it's against Federation ethics to conduct genetic manipulation, yes, people have had serious penalties for being discovered being modified in such manner (Dr. Bashir of DS9), but in times of war dire straits call for desperate measures and S31 would not be beyond having such ideas to create their own special forces of augmented humans. They would be a great advantage in h2h combat with physically superior alien races, and do things that no unaugmented humans could do.
My take on this is that while DNA manipulation is a big no-no in the Federation, there have been much less disagreement with the subject of cybernetic enhancements. As powerful as 23-24th Century handheld tools and weapons are, imagine how much more effective they would be if they were to be integrated into a humanoid body and controlled via nervous impulses.
A human augmented in such a form in an advanced fashion will very much resemble a Deus Ex style operative that can both fit into "normal" society to gain HUMINT, but when in combat can turn into an almost unstoppable foe with cybernetically enhanced agility and survivability.
You could also have SCE augmented engineers that can pack light (having integrated tools at their disposal) and operate in harsh environments without the need for bulky envirosuits.
Just look at today's proposed infantry augmentation projects and how far we've gone in just a couple decades of conceptual research - with Star Trek levels of tech cybernetic augmentation could be easily implemented with little in the way of ethical dilemmas... or even be completely undetectable to untrained eyes (which suits S31's mission very well).

Texas Architect March/April 2011: Workplace Design
In its March/April 2011 edition, Texas Architect looks at Workplace Design and features four recent projects: Logica (Houston) by Powers Brown Architecture; McGarrah Jessee (Austin) by McKinney York Architects; Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Regional Headquarters (Richardson) by Corgan Associates; and the Lower Colorado River Authority's Redbud Center (Austin) by Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek Architects. The residential feature profiles 1810 Bermuda (Dallas) by Ron Wommack Architects. The issue also includes Reagan W. George's recollection of an impromptu meeting between an elderly Frank Lloyd Wright and a group of Texas A&M architecture students, as well as Charlie Burris' description of new offices for The Arkitex Studio in a historic building in downtown Bryan.

Marina Del Rey ParasailingRead MoreThe U.S. Coast Guard?licensed captains of Marina Del Rey Parasailing harness the might of wind and water to send passengers of all ages and experience levels soaring above the blue on exhilarating parasail flights. To begin the ride, passengers strap in and are accompanied by up to two other flyers to share in the sky-scraping experience and challenge trios of seagulls to a sing-off. As the boat speeds up and the parachute gently fills with the ocean breeze, a sturdy towline extends to 800 feet to suspend parasailors 500 feet above the glittering surf. From the serene quiet of their towering vantage point, passengers catch spellbinding views of Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach, with occasional sightings of dolphins, fishermen, and clouds marveling at sunbathers' similarity to teddy bears. As the captain reels the line back in and flights float to a close, newly minted cosmonauts step back on to the boat without the need to ever touch the water. Each 75-minute boat ride accommodates up to 15 fliers, allowing ample time for sea-level sights and victorious Titanic impressions at the boat helm.13717 Fiji WayMarina Del Rey, CA US
Action WatersportsRead MoreAction Watersports' experienced instructors lead groups of seafaring paddlers on rolling adventures that buoy confidence and coordination. During each lesson, a wave maven and a fleet of up to five paddlers hit the frothy drink for roughly two hours of gliding above schools of fish and merpeople tea parties. Tap into core muscles to maintain balance and burgeoning biceps to propel you forward on the muscle-powered schooner. Lesson leaders structure courses to help boarders hone basic paddling techniques, so each pupil feels confident, water-worthy, and superior to aimlessly drifting seaweed. Swimming ability is recommended, and classes are available by appointment any day of the week, with 24 hours' notice, until July 1.4144 Lincoln BlvdMarina Del Rey, CA US
Paddle Sports CenterRead MoreFor more than 20 years, Channel Islands Outfitters's Paddle Sports Center has helped humans commune with nature through their guided expeditions, courses, and gear rentals.

The outdoor fitness center also offers instruction for outdoorsmen ranging from courses that cultivate Wilderness First Responders to lessons in the art of standup paddleboarding. Meanwhile, their surf shop doles out aquatic equipment such as surfboards, paddleboards, and an array of kayaks that are available in single-seat or tandem models.117 Harbor WaySanta Barbara, CA US
Channel Islands Kayak CenterRead MoreScenes of learning and enjoyment spark infectious enthusiasm among Channel Islands Kayak Center's guides, who thrive on bringing adventurers up close to the wildlife of Channel Islands Harbor and Ventura Harbor.

Sail Channel IslandsRead MoreSea-curious land dwellers relax aboard the Wiley, a 36-foot Catalina yacht, while witnessing gorgeous scenery and watery wildlife of the Santa Barbara Channel and Ventura Coast of Southern California. Captain Dan, a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain, will guide the schooner toward prime spots to witness whales frolicking and dolphins holding fraternity hazing rituals. Seafarers meet at Vintage Marina to board the aquatic vessel, and then set out from Channel Islands Harbor. Time your voyage to occur at sunset and observe the briny coastline as it floats by, swathed in the sediment-flattering hues of yellow, orange, and pink. Tour-goers can complement their adventure into the watery abyss by bringing snacks or drinks or by having the staff arrange catering. Buy two Groupons for a couple's cruise, or get up to four people together for an on-ship bridge tournament where the losers have to swim back to shore.3150 Harbor BlvdOxnard, CA US

They then rent out their watercraft by the hour, allowing customers the freedom to enjoy a quick jaunt or a daylong quest to overthrow surrounding sandcastle fiefdoms.2741 Victoria AvenueOxnard, CA US

The Importance of Regular Veterinary Exams
This year we will discuss the importance of regular veterinary exams for all animals.
Protect your pet's health and quality of life by taking it to your veterinarian for a health exam at least once per year. Twice a year is recommended, especially for senior pets.
A health exam will help determine the general well-being of your pet and can identify potential problems. Early detection of diseases can improve your pet's chances of successful treatment, and save you money over the long run, too.
Pets Age Faster Than Humans
Pets age at a faster rate than humans; they may experience age-related health changes before you realize it. Taking your pet to the veterinarian once a year is equivalent to you seeing a doctor or dentist about only once every seven years!
Keep your pets healthy with yearly preventive health exams. A happy, healthy pet starts with a plan:
- An annual health exam (twice a year recommended, especially for senior pets)
- Disease prevention, including parasite prevention and vaccinations
- Pet health insurance
