Lync 2010 Client Policies
General Information
Rejoice Lync Administrators! Gone are the days of out-of-band provisioning (Group Policy) and utilizing in-band-provisioning (connecting to the server and getting custom settings). This is great news as many companies have machines that are either domain-joined and/or are outside of the network. Deploying Group Policies are not viable for non-domain joined machines and are possible to mobile workers if you are using Direct Access. But, with Lync 2010, you won't have to worry about either. Because Group Policies for Lync 2010 Client Settings have now been moved to in-band provisioning. Lync 2010 uses the Lync Management Shell (LMS) to manage these in-band settings utilizing commands with the following noun: CSClientPolicy*. Commands with this noun include:
- New-CSClientPolicy
- Get-CSClientPolicy
- Set-CSClientPolicy
- Grant-CSClientPolicy
- Remove-CSClientPolicy
- New-CSClientPolicyEntry
The main commands will will look at are the first four commands.
The biggest thing to note about Client Policies, is that they can be configured at three different levels. These levels include:
- User Level
- Site Level
- Global Level
By default, user policies are set at the Global Level. Unfortunately, the Get-CSClientPolicy -Identity User, does not show anything other than the user set policies. So let's say I want to see what I am assigned. I can run the following command:
Get-CSUser "Shudnow, Elan"
VoicePolicy : ChicagoVoicePolicy
ConferencingPolicy :
PresencePolicy :
DialPlan :
LocationPolicy :
ClientPolicy : ChicagoClientPolicy
ClientVersionPolicy :
ArchivingPolicy :
PinPolicy : ChicagoPinPolicy
ExternalAccessPolicy :
HostedVoiceMail :
HostedVoicemailPolicy :
If one of the variables above is $null, that doesn't mean you are not abiding by some policy. The above will only display User Level Policies. Site Level and Global Policies are not displayed. This is because User Level Policies are readily available in Active Directory whereas the Site Level Policies and Global Policies. More information on this as well as a script that can provide more verbose information showing what policies including Site Level Policies or Global Level Policies are included here.
But by default, we can see that no policies exist other than the Global Policy by running the following command:
There are some fundamental things you should know about when managing policies on users:
- When we want to create policies, we use the New-CSClientPolicy command.
- When we want to modify policies, we use the Set-CSClientPolicy command.
- When using the Set-CSClientPolicy with no -Identity (as -Identity is actually Optional), the Global Policy is modified.
- When using the Set-CSClientPolicy with the -Identity specified, if we want to modify or create a Site Policy, we prefice the Identity with site:. For Example: Set-CSClientPolicy -Identity site:Chicago.
- When using the Set-CSClientPolicy with the -Identity specified, if we want to modify or create a User Policy, we do not prefice the Identity. For Example: Set-CSClientPolicy -Idenitty ChicagoClientPolicy.
- When setting a client policy on a user, we use the Grant-CSClientPolicy. For Example: Grant-CsClientPolicy -Identity "Elan Shudnow" -PolicyName SalesPolicy
Let's take a look at an example. Let's remove the ability for my account to be able to display photos. As you can see in the following screenshot, I currently have the ability to display photos:
We need to first create the ChicagoClientPolicy. We do this by running the following command:
Now let's re-run the command we saw in the first screenshot in this article to verify we see both a Global Policy as well as our new ChicagoClientPolicy.
I will run the following two commands command to remove the ability to Display Photos for our new ChicagoClientPolicy and then verify the DisplayPhoto parameter is set to NoPhoto:
Now we'll have to assign the ChicagoClientPolicy to my user account and then verify it was assigned. We do this by running the following commands:
After signing out and signing back in, voila, pictures are no longer there. Success!
But, let's say we wanted to reverse this. You may think to yourself, can I just set the setting to Null/Remove Policy or do I have to set the property to the opposite value to reset the registry setting? Well, let's have a look. I'm going to try to just remove the policy from my account and verify that and then see if that takes care of it. I'll do this by running the following command:
After signing out and signing back in, voila, pictures are back. Success again!

Good to see you are still posting great articles. A while back you helped me out with an OCS R2 issue. I was hoping you maybe be able to help with a new question?
It is tentatively related to the above.
We have OCS 2007 R2 deployed with the sip domain of sip1.net and the AD domain or ad1.net. If i want to upgrade to lync 2010 is it possible to deploy the lync server into the same sip domain or do i need to create/use a separate sip domain for lync?
on 18 Nov 2010 at 9:49 am4Elan Shudnow
Yes, that'll be fine. You never have to create new SIP Domains when upgrading.

Geoff, the process is a migration but a shared SIP domain namespace can be used during the migration. An 'upgrade' typically refers to in-place upgrade of individual servers which is not the case with any Communications/Lync Server release.

Great information, is it possible to apply more than one user client policy to same user? as an example, one user client policy has different settings and another one has another setting. can both user policy get agreegated and apply resultant set of policy (like GPO). I see that in GUI, it is not possible might be possible using Lync Shell but not 100 % sure.
on 07 Dec 2010 at 3:19 pm9Jamie Schwinn
Policy is not cumulative like AD Group Policy. Only 1 policy will apply.

It been several weeks since you posted your question, so I'm not sure if you ever found an answer to your question on assigning a policy to a Group, but I had the same question and found this blog with the information you may find useful…just thought i'd share in case someone else has the same question.

Hi Helan, i'm reading the Lync Server 2010 documentation about the Client Ports in the "Determining your infrastructure requirements …" document. I cannot understand why the "Required client ports" is inserted in the "..Internal server " section.
In the descriptions of the client ports i read for example "Used for client-to-server SIP traffic for external user access" … but if these ports must be opened (on the firewall ??) for "external user access" ..why they are in *Internal Server section* ?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Good morning,
Thanks for your wonderful post!!!! Can you assist me with something that's been troubling me? I need to disable the feature in the Lync client that allows the users in my environment to "Save instant message conversations in my email Conversation history folder".
Can this be done through the Lync management shell or does it have to be done through a GPO. My company doesn't want user's to be able to save their instant messages.
Thanks in advance.

Check it out on TechNet. I had no idea that it could be configured this way.

Oops! Sorry Tim. I meant to post this link.
It is possible to disable saving IMs.

Hopefully you can help me with some bit of information I must be missing. I understand that the global policies are default and I know when the user poliices are in use as well. I have been trying to use site policies without much success in being able to determine that a particular site policy is in use. ie… 7 sites and the need to assign a related site policy to all users at that site. I have basically decided to use user policies to ensure the assignments are correct, but for the next project it would be helpful to understand how/where a site policy is assigned to a user.
Thanks in advance to any insight anyhone has on this.
on 17 Apr 2011 at 4:28 pm21Elan Shudnow
Keep in mind that these Site Policies are not AD Site Policies. If you look in the Lync Topology Builder, there are Central Sites and Branch Sites that connect to Central Sites. This is what the policies are assigned to. If you have PoolA and PoolB assigned to SiteA, then if you apply the policy to SiteA, it applies to both PoolA and PoolB.

Is there anyway to restrict who is allowed to send somebody a Lync IM. For example can we restrict who is allowed to send our CEO IMs. Would be great if there was a setting that only people in his contact list are able to IM him.

This is possible with custom development by building an MSPL Application using the Ethical Firewall API.
A sample is here and the API really hasn't changed from OS to Lync: : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.asp…

Hello Élan,
Please help!
My lync 2010 client does not show phone/dialpad icon.my users are enabled for enterprise voice. I have tested on windows 2008 r2 and vista BE platforms. Tried to see if there is anything in client policy but could not figure out.
Thanks in advance!
on 03 Oct 2012 at 4:51 pm33Elan Shudnow
I've seen this when a custom Group Policy for OCS was pushed out to machines and enabled the use of something called TelephonyMode. See Jeff Schertz post here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/…
That is where I would start troubleshooting. I would set this to 0 and let the in-band settings from Lync take effect.
on 17 Dec 2012 at 9:38 am34Gordon S
great article Elan. I've been trying to work out if i could use these commands to prevent users changing their photo. We have an on-premise solution, not O365 and i have discovered there is no easy "GPO" for this.
As you'd expect, almost immediately after the roll-out the users went mad changing their settings, photos etc. We want everyone to keep their AD photo so its consistent with Outlook etc.
i'm a novice with powershell so was looking for a GUI but happy to give it a go :)

I tried this with with my server by changing my team to a different policy that has the rule: DisplayPhoto : PhotosFromADOnly

The Silver Bear. Not in Braşov, at the Berlinale.
February 21, 2010Posted by on
Outstanding result for the Romanian cinematography at the prestigious film festival in Berlin. Florin Şerban (not even Romanian cinefils know who he is) won not one prize, but two:
The Silver Bear – The Jury Grand Prix
The Alfred Bauer Prize, "awarded in memory of the Festival founder, for a work of particular innovation"
with the movie "Eu când vreau să fluier, fluier" – "When I want to whistle, I whistle".
More about Florin Şerban, here (in German). More about the movie, for those who like to read ahead, here (in German too). Still waiting for English language reviews and bio – the guy is completely unknown in the "outer world", but that is likely to change. Will update when available. Meanwhile, for Romanian speakers or hardcore film fans willing to use google translator, more info in Romanian here.

Eating Poison is GlamorousSunday, August 29th, 2010
How many times, after a meal, have we said to ourselves, "Well that did not agree with me!" Wouldn't it be better and more exact to say, "Well I ate poison again." I realize that I am talking about semantics here, but at least this way we as a society would stop fooling ourselves. Every time we react unfavorably to a meal, we have given ourselves a form of poison. So why do we try and hid the fact? Perhaps it is because food companies and fast food restaurants have glamorized the foods that are bad for us. We have been told that the wealthy and those that live the good live eat these foods. They tell us that these foods are cool. The pretty and glamorous eat them. Therefore, shouldn't we eat these food so we can be glamorous too. Or are these individuals suffering from the same affects rest of us are? That would be: vomiting, stomach aches, diarrhea, gastric reflux, anemia and all the digestive diseases that follow these symptoms. As a society and a species we are trying to change our eating habits too fast with poor and very dangerous results.

between Veritas Volume Replicator and Veritas Storage Replicator. I have a 6 GB database that needs to be replicated to the another server over a WAN. What's the best way to do this?
Veritas Storage Replicator is a Windows-based asynchronous data replication solution. It can replicate entire server volumes, file systems or single files across a WAN via IP. It also supports many-to-one replication meaning that many remote Windows systems can replicate to one central Windows system where data can be backed up.
Veritas Volume Replicator is supported on both Unix and Windows and is a volume-based replication solution. It requires the Veritas Volume Manager to be installed. Depending on the distance, replication can be synchronous or asynchronous. With Volume Replicator, it is also possible to replicate across heterogeneous platforms (i.e.: Solaris to AIX).

Disguised as BT workmen, the thieves have targeted the village of Barrington eight times in the last year, often leaving the 900 locals with no telephone or broadband access.
The spate of thefts come as world prices for metals such as copper continue to boom, making underground cable hugely valuable.
The thieves, who reportedly have uniforms and vans bearing the BT logo, often dig up and slice the cables before attaching them to backs of vehicles and driving away, allowing them to quickly strip out long stretches of the copper wire.
Locals in Barrington are becoming increasingly frustrated with the attacks – which only seem to have occurred on Thursdays.
BT's network relies on more than 75 million miles of copper cable, much of which is laid along the side of rural roads making it easy for thieves to target.
They will often pose as genuine workmen carrying out repair work in order to avoid suspicion as they steal the cable.
Luke Beeson, BT's head of security, told The Independent newspaper that the thefts were costing the company millions of pounds and year.
He said the only way to clamp down on the thefts was to regulate the scrap yards that buy the cable.
"At the moment you only have to register as a dealer and record names and addresses of sellers. We want to see dealers forced to register, keep CCTV footage and police given authority to search premises.
"Last year we recovered over two hundred tonnes of BT cable from UK scrap yards. If we can choke the market then we can help shut it down."

Heat edge Rampageby Staff Writer / Calgary Flames
ABBOTSFORD, BC -- The Abbotsford Heat defeated the San Antonio Rampage (AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers) 2-1 on Tuesday night at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC). The Heat are now 8-4-0-1 on the season and currently sit first in the AHL Western Conference.
Heat goaltender Joni Ortio continued his strong play of late, earning his fourth straight win and first star honours. Both Heat goals were scored on the power play, marking the sixth consecutive game the Heat have scored on the man advantage.
Markus Granlund opened the scoring for the Heat on the power play at 19:31 of the first period. Granlund's third goal of the year was assisted by Corban Knight and Mark Cundari. The first period ended 1-0 for Abbotsford, and was a penalty filled 20 minutes with seven minor penalties assessed between the two teams.
The Rampage came back to tie the game on a goal from John Lee at 14:02 of the second period. Despite another five combined minor penalties, the teams were unable to capitalize on the man advantage. Through two periods, Abbotsford outshot San Antonio 19-17.
Blair Jones scored the game winner at 13:28 of the third period, the second Heat power play goal of the night. The goal was assisted by Tyler Wotherspoon and Roman Horak.
Ortio made 23 saves on 24 shots for the Heat, while Michael Houser stopped 23 of 25 shots for San Antonio.
Abbotsford finished two for nine on the man advantage, and killed off all seven San Antonio power plays.
This weekend the Heat will host the Toronto Marlies (AHL affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs) on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will feature the second Legends of Hockey game of the season, with NHL Hall of Famer Mike Bossy appearing for autographs prior to the game on the AESC concourse at 5:30pm. Sunday will be the first family day of the season, with a family skate on the AESC ice after the game.

Men's soccer continued their undefeated streak Saturday against Hardin-Simmons (1-3-1) with a 1-1 tie, bringing the team's record to 5-0-1.
The scores took place in the first half within five minutes of each other. First-year Rigoberto Loreto scored the Lutes' lone goal with an assist from senior midfielder Joe Olenginski. PLU keeper Joe Rayburn had three saves in the game.
Both teams wound up with multiple yellow cards, 3 for PLU players, 2 for the Cowboys, and 1 for the whole Hardin-Simmons team.
The Lutes travel to Newberg, Ore. Saturday to take on George Fox University in their first conference game, and the next home game will be September 28 against Linfield.

Any student requiring medication during the school day MUST have the medication delivered to school by a parent or other designated adult. The medication MUST be in a pharmacy labeled container if a prescription or in the original container if an over the counter medication. NO medication will be administered by the school nurses unless accompanied by a written order signed by the students physician and parent /guardian. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Ibuprophen (Motrin) will be administered only after written parental permission has been obtained. DO NOT send medicine of any kind in with your child. It will be confiscated by the school nurse and parents will be asked to pick it up if they want it returned. The ONLY time students are allowed to carry medication on their person is if a physician has written and signed an order, on file with the school nurse, stating the student may carry and self administer an inhaler or epipen. The students parent MUST also give written permission for the student to carry medication. This same policy applies to students who require medication during after school activities. Permission forms and medications should be given to coaches, etc.
Students at both schools are screened for height and weight each year. In addition, Middle school students are screened for scoliosis which is a lateral curvature of the spine. Central school students in Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade as well as Middle school students in the 6th and 8th grade are screened for hearing and vision. If your child is experiencing difficulties in any of these areas you can request additional screenings at any time.
Students absent for 5 days or more require a physician note to return to school. If a student is returning to school after a prolonged illness, on crutches, in a cast, sling or splint please bring a note from the physician stating that it is safe for the student to be in the school environment and what restrictions if any need to be observed, e.g. no gym, no recess etc. When the student no longer requires these restrictions another physician note should be presented to the nurse so the student can resume activities. For liability issues a student on crutches requires a note from the parent giving them permission to ride the bus. We appreciate your cooperation in our efforts to keep all students safe.
For details on immunization requirements go to HMS/HCS Home page/School Info then Handbook and scroll down to Health Services. You may also call your school nurse or the Immunization Program at the NH Dept. of Health and Human Services at 1-800-852-3345 Ext.4482
Physical examinations of students are required prior to entering school. All students new to the district who have not had a physical within one year must have a new physical. Students participating in interscholastic sports are required to have a recent ( we ask for one every two years unless a new student) physical exam on file in the Health Office.

This form was developed to better care for all students with a potentially life threatening insect or food allergy. We ask parents to update and sign these forms on a yearly basis and return them to the school nurse. This information is invaluable, especially on field trips when staff are responsible for student care. Medications for students are sent with staff on field trips with specific instructions on administration.

Me thinks the Likud and Netanyahu, in particular, is sweating bullets from Naphtali Bennett's constant rise in mandates. Even if Bennett doesn't win, Bayit HaYehudi will be a force to be reckoned with in the next government. The Likud does not like this, so they are throwing mud on Bennett, which is going to backfire in their faces. Bennett, chazak ve' amatz!!!!

4. Feiglin is 100% right
We especially the Jewish nation may never allow itself the 'luxury' of "I was just following orders". This issue when argued are mostly hypocritical, for they dont have a problem with a "conscientious objector" from the left. That individual has to sit in goal for the mandated period. Same if one on the right refuses an order. But to black list this issue with a wide brush is wrong and most morally wrong especially for us Jews. Thank you M Feiglin for standing up to the truth and not bend to political correctness which Bennet ultimately did. Shows who has real leadership qualities.

israel israeli ,
tel aviv
I agree with Feiglin, because the people are smarter than the corrupt politicians. Imagine if IDF soldiers refused Sharon's orders to evacuate Gush Katif until an election or referendum was held. If Sharon received support, the soldiers would follow his lead. If Sharon had been booted out, no Hamas in Gaza, no Grads in Gaza, no PSTD in Sderot, Rishon would be safe. To your question: most Leftists who refused to served in Judea and Samaria spoke to their commander and were released quietly. In some few cases, a person who refused was sent to the brig or jail. The exact same principle should apply to everyone, right or left. However, people like Leftist Yiftah Spector who do not just refuse orders but incite rebellion should be punished seriously.

8. Bennett and Feiglin are wrong
Jerry ,
Both the left, center and right, should all serve in the army and obey the army rules. Should your moral compass tell you not to obey orders, then be willing to pay the price. Go to jail for whatever period the army decides. This is the difference between what Feiglin and Bennett are saying and the reality. Until one or both say it, they are both wrong. It's okay to disobey orders if you are willing to pay the price.

thank you Mr.Feiglin for showing everyone the true face of the Likud. And trying to picture him as an irrelevant radical minority is even more revealing from the Likud side.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong. I cannot speak for Feiglin. My guess is he and Bennett are on the same page.

those who want a disengagement will condemn the disobedience, those that are repulsed by the thought of giving Arabs Jewish land will support disobedience. Where does Mr. Likud Bibi stand on this?

23. Disgusting comments coming from Felgin
zionist forever
Felgin comparing a soldier who agrees to evacuate a settlement to a Nazi following Eichman's orders are disgusting and insulting to all professional soldiers and Holocaust survivors. How do you compare a soldier removing people from building for demolition to one put people into gas chambers? I had relatives who were killed by the Nazis and I find that remark disgusting and Felgin should be kicked out of Likud over it. What is the difference between a leftist soldier in refusing to serve because of occupation and a soldier refusing to evacuate a settlement because it conflicts with his personal beliefs ? Bennet may have made this claim because he is a rookie and has even since said that was his opinion as a man but as a politician he cannot encourage such things. Felgin is no rookie, he is not leader of an opposing party, Bennet retracts his statement next day Felgin supports it. The man is going to cost Likud the election if he doesn't shut up then Labor & Meretz can close all the settlements. . I feel sympathy for the individuals who just want to live in Judea & Samaria and see settlements as their homes despise the radicals who want to build just for the sake of building and then treat these buildings like temples, it verges on idolatry. This isn't even about religious beliefs its obsessiveness.

24. Thoreau and Civil Disobedience
Dr Yeruham Leavitt ,
Kiriat Arba, ISRAEL
I suggest that anyone who wishes to take this matter seriously, study a bit of the history and philosophy of civil disobedience. I recommend Henry David Thoreau's eloquent work, "Civil Disobedience" (1849), a classic in English language political philosophy, available on the Internet. The main point for the present discussion is that whoever conscientiously disobeys law or orders must be willing to accept the legal punishment. Otherwise it is not conscientious disobedience but simple criminality.

So much for a moral stand against expulsion orders. The campaign has hardly started and he already retracted on a basic, fundamental principle. Bennett is doing from the outside what Feiglin is doing from inside of Likud - taking votes away from smaller right wing parties.

27. #23: "Zionist?" Forever? Really?
People make comparisons to the Germany and the Holocaust all the time; get used to it. No historical comparison is perfect. Often (though not perfect) historical comparisons are useful. You are full of yourself. You haven't impressed me with your sanctimonious or feigned indignation, nor with your question, "What is the difference between a leftist soldier in refusing to serve because of occupation and a soldier refusing to evacuate a settlement because it conflicts with his personal beliefs ?" Personal beliefs? The one is of questionable morality and the other is wholly consistent with Jewish law. Do your homework. Read Moses. Read the Torah. You are not well informed. Sorry, you aren't.

Eichmann was not an example of a citizen FOLLOWING immoral orders. Feiglin's comparison to serving Tzhal in the West Bank is just not appropriate. It was proven that Eichmann intervened, went beyond orders, inventing devious ways to further the NAZI muderous cause...to the extent that Eichmann disrupted and, diverted German military train traffic... to insure that freight cars were alloted to delivering Jewish men, women and children to Nazi mass murder facilities. moshe

29. 27
zionist forever
There is no Jewish law that says we must build settlements in Judea & Samaria. Its land that was given but there is nothing that says obsessively build there, the Negev & Galilee are part of that promised land but nobody is rushing to build there even though its just as much Jewish land as Judea & Samaria. I have no problem with the settlement movement providing they are for homes not politics or to feed an obsession. Felgin and the others radicals just want to build for the sake of building. Doesn't even matter if there is nobody to live in them all that matters is the building and that is like idol worship. The leftist draft dodgers are just the same as the radical right who are obsessed with building because both are refusing to either serve or follow orders because it conflicts with their personal opinions and you cannot have an army where soldiers are entitled to choose what orders they obey and which they refuse.

I agree with you, the entire "West Bank," Areas A, B and C should be annexed by Israel. As to the smaller parties, why aren't they getting any attention in the news? National Union has been a consistently principled smaller party. Why are't we reading about them, even on right-leaning news sites?

The "C" word strikes again
What's the "C" word?
If you've ever dealt with the "C" word, you know what it is.
Cruel? Clinical? Coarse? Concealed? Conflicting? All of those things.
How can cancer strike one family twice in one year?
Let me back up…
I posted that my brother Ken was diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2011. He lost his brave battle in August of 2013 at the young age of 40.
A few months before we lost my brother Ken, my father Ken was diagnosed with a malignant mole on his back. Melanoma. Only on the surface, but likely to spread.
How does one deal with your own cancer when you are about to lose your son?
Fast forward to August of 2014 – one year after losing my brother. My father's melanoma has metastasized. Lungs. Adrenal gland. Spine. Liver. Brain.
The gnarly weed is back for its next victim.
I can't even begin to understand how this could possibly happen. All I can say is that it's bad. On top of bad. On top of bad.
My father is still grieving the loss of his son. My mother is still mourning the loss of her only boy.
How much fight can one family have left?
Love you, Dad. I'll be here every step of the way.

Soapbox Philosophy: Dig in to data on NSA surveillance
Op-Ed · June 21, 2013
On Tuesday, when I was supposed to focus on putting the paper to bed, I got drawn into a debate over whether newspapers can legally use Facebook posts in print.
The conversation took place over an e-mail thread hosted by the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors and comes in the midst of the controversy regarding the National Security Agency mining phone records and Web data on millions of Americans.
An editor in Ohio wanted to write a column about a storm a year earlier that knocked out power for as much as two weeks in his area. He asked readers to post on Facebook lessons and tips they had learned from the outage. His question: Can he legally copy those readers comments from Facebook and use them in his column?
The short answer is yes, but, editors being editors, who are born with the innate ability to call people out for mistakes, started arguing with the simple replies to the main question.
Some started quoting lawyers, then concluded that you dont want to risk it. Others quoted lawyers, concluding Go as far as you want. Then there was a batch who worried about upsetting the Facebook members who were also readers.
I liked the bunch who advocated for understanding how far you can go, but restraining yourself, asking Facebook users for permission unless there is a strong and compelling reason to do so.
Then there was the debate over copyrighted material.
Keep in mind that all of the guys and gals arguing this subject all have essentially the same jobs, and could not agree even when actual laws were cited regarding fair use and copyrights.
Now take that into account when the NSA, President Obama and both Democrats and Republicans have defended the surveillance programs. And both Democrats and Republicans and the NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, have criticized the programs as either unethical, illegal or unconstitutional. Both sides are citing Supreme Court cases, especially Smith v Maryland.
The difference between the NSA programs and newspapers is that the NSA had no intention of asking the American public if they could gather the information. The programs were secret from the start and were meant to stay secret. Newspapers would publish the information and the public would be fully aware of what it had done.
Either way, the NSA surveillance programs looking at Americans personal data is a complicated issue and everyone should do their best to become well-informed on the details.

First of all, the fact that you're 35 may not be the reason why your doctor has scheduled a level 2 ultrasound, so don't assume he or she's looking for any age-related problems (and worry your already-spinning pregnant little head). Most practitioners schedule level 2 sonograms as a matter of course for all their patients, no matter their age, because it's the best way to see how your baby is developing and detect any potential problems as soon as possible.
What differentiates the types of ultrasounds you may receive over the course of your pregnancy is when they're performed and the level of detail they provide. Some practitioners perform a level 1 sonogram before 12 weeks to date a pregnancy. First trimester sonograms are also increasingly used as a prenatal screening tool (along with the usual battery of blood tests).
The more-detailed level 2 sonogram (also called an anatomy scan) is typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks and gives your practitioner more crucial information about what's going on in that belly of yours. For example, it can measure the size of the fetus and evaluate your baby's major organs to make sure they've formed properly. It can also determine the amount of amniotic fluid (the magic potion that feeds and protects your baby) to make sure there's enough. A level 2 ultrasound can also detect cervical changes that might indicate preterm labor and show whether the baby is in a breech position. Ultrasound can even evaluate the size and condition of your placenta and will give your practitioner a picture (literally) of the overall health of your baby and your pregnancy.
If you're concerned about the upcoming picture show (and what those grainy images reveal), talk to your doctor about what he or she is looking for. Chances are, you'll come away enlightened (and relieved). If there is a potential issue, discuss your practitioner's concerns and your options in terms of additional screening tests. If everything seems normal prior to your sonogram and your doctor isn't looking for anything alarming, relax and enjoy this opportunity to take a sneak peek at your little one. By this point, you'll be able to tell the head from the butt (so cute!) and possibly see whether you've got a Jimmy or a Jenny swimming around in there (remember, though, to tell your technician in advance if you want to keep the sex of your baby a surprise!).
Good luck!

Budget manager ready to post final entry
Published 6:00 pm, Sunday, January 24, 2010
After working for the City of Plainview since 1990, Plainview Budget Manager Jack Keller has decided it's time to retire.
A reception for Keller will be from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall.
Keller grew up in Snyder and graduated from high school there in 1965. He attended Texas Tech University for about three years before leaving school to devote time to his job and his growing family — Keller has four daughters.
"Going to school was getting to be more than I could handle at the time," he recalled.
After being injured working for a freight company in Lubbock, Keller decided to go back to school. It didn't take long to finish, he said, because he already had about 96 hours. He graduated with his degree in accounting in 1985.
Keller was an accountant for the City of Lubbock for about four years before Plainview Budget Manager Norman Huggins offered him a job. His boss in Lubbock encouraged Keller to make the move.
Keller went to work for Huggins and then took over for him when he retired in 2001.
Keller said he has enjoyed his job, mainly because he has been able to put into practice his chosen course of study. And although it sounds strange, he has enjoyed the city's annual audits.
"I look forward to the annual audit because then I have people who speak my language, people I can talk about accounting issues with."
Keller's last day as Plainview's budget manager will be Friday. He thinks he will spend more time traveling and restoring machinery, especially motorcycles.
"I don't have any definite plans," he said.
Keller lives in Idalou where his wife, Shirley, owns a beauty shop.

text: Hi! I have a problem with PyEval_EvalCode(...) I compile the following code and execute them with PyEval_EvalCode (...) class MyClass(mod.Upper): pass register(MyClass) #just the type, not the instance Thats all. So register(...) is a Python C API method so i take the type and store it in a global variable. PyEval_EvalCode(...) returns not NULL and I do not decref the dictionary, just the returnvalue. After PyEval_EvalCode(..) is executed I would like to create an instance of MyClass which crashes because information of the inherited types are corrupt. If I call PyObject_CallObject(obj, NULL) in register(..) where PyEval_EvalCode (..) is still active everything works fine but when I call it after PyEval_EvalCode, even I did not decref anything) its not working. Can anyone of you help me? The refcounts of the MyClass type are > 0. Thanks.

here's a WIP coloring of that pandabat:
I tried the random line things once, and it worked at first.. then I just decided it wasn't worth not controlling the outcome just a little bit. So what you do;
Draw a few things on one sheet, leaving space in the middle. Then you pic shapes out of what's in the middle. Then you can create a great composition and stuff without pondering for minutes what you're actually gonna draw.
never really tried the random lines thing, like your idea tho pixel. good exercise for creativity. i really think the panda bat works better as a pencil drawin, more angular, which is all good. the colouring isnt bad, it just takes that element away from the origional drawing.
figure on the second random lines page looks promising too, keep it up.

Tex, when you had painted this char do you have a line drawing and paint over the line drawing then hide the drawing, or do you keep the line drawing on through the whole process?Originally Posted by Tex
Any help would be appreciated.
That depends on personal workflow. What I do is just block it in over the line drawing on a separate layer, so I can toggle the coloring layer to see if I'm losing anything that I think is important. Some people will put the line drawing on top of the color layer and set the layer to multiply-then work underneath the lines. I'm sure there are a bunch of different ways to do it.
Pixel, I'm not really concerned with a composition when doing these. It's more of a warm up thing or to get an idea-jump-start. Maybe I should try to get entire compositions out of one...

Hi guys
I'm at a loss here. I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 with samsung-tools, samsung-backlight and udev from voria. The shortcuts for backlight etc. work wonderfully. However, the keys for my numeric pad (fn+u = 4) still think my fn key is pressed in. So if I type u, it actually prints 4. Add insult to injury: I don't experience this problem on the login screen, only when I'm logged in.
Needless to say, typing is really cumbersome and I could use a fix.
More info: the keyboard layout is AZERTY (a Belgian layout), the exact type is NF310-A03
Thanks a bunch!

Berlusconi brags of 8 women in a night
Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi boasts of sexual prowess as he claims of sleeping with multiple women in a night to the man who provided him with escorts for a New Years party
Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi boasts of sexual prowess as he claims of sleeping with multiple women in a night to the man who provided him with escorts for a New Years party
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has boasted of sleeping with eight women in one night.
Berlusconi (74) made the claim in a bugged phone chat with businessman Giampaolo Tarantini, who allegedly recruited escort girls for his wild parties.
"Yesterday evening there was a queue outside my door," said Berlusconi. "There were 11. I had eight because I couldn't go any further. You can't do all of them."
Tall demands: Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi told Gianpaolo Tarantini 'not
to bring tall [girls], as we are not tall'. Pic/afp
The call was on New Year's Day 2009, with Berlusconi adding: "I feel good this morning . . . the things you have to do on New Year's Eve."
The revelation comes from 1,00,000 wire taps in a judicial investigation into eight people who allegedly supplied escort girls for Berlusconi's parties.
Escort Maria Teresa De Nicolo claims she slept with Berlusconi and two women.
She said, "Before I got to his party I was given 1,000 euro (Rs 65,000) and told, "If Silvio wants you to stay, then stay . . . don't worry, he will give you money."
On the tap the Italian Prime Minister, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall, is also heard asking Gianpaolo Tarantini 'not to bring tall [girls], as we are not tall.'
At one point, he reveals that there are 40 women staying in his house who just won't leave.
In many others, he asks excitedly who the businessman will bring him next.
The investigation in the southern city of Bari, where Tarantini was based, includes about 100,000 wiretapped conversations, targeting eight people, including Tarantini, his brother and a woman nicknamed in the Italian media as 'Queen Bee' for her alleged role in recruiting women for the premier.
Berlusconi denies any wrongdoing and paying for sex.
Won't quit
Silvio Berlusconi's top aide says the Italian leader has no desire to quit despite a sex scandal.
Angelino Alfano, who Berlusconi tapped as his successor, told a rally in northern Italy yesterday their conservative party still supports him. He added "the premier has no desire to resign."

Balers Information
Balers use a compressing force, often provided by a hydraulic cylinder, to reduce the size of waste materials and form them into a regular, easily handled shape (most often a square or rectangle). When a baler is full to capacity, an operator must belt the bale with straps or wires to ensure that it maintains its shape after ejection from the machine.
The image below illustrates the important components of a hydraulic vertical button control baler. To create a bale, an operator slides the safety gate up in order to load waste material into the baler. When the volume of waste material reaches the bottom of the ram, the operator closes the safety gate and turns the bale on, which causes the hydraulic cylinder to depress the ram and compress the material. After this process has been repeated enough times to create a sufficiently large bale, the operator opens the bale chamber door, belts the bale, and ejects it (using an ejector driven by a chain, bar, or separate hydraulic cylinder) onto a pallet, cart, or other easily-transportable object. The bale can then by moved away to be transported off-site or disposed of or recycled in some other manner.
Image credit: CDC / NIOSH
The use of a baler saves space, time, and money for companies which deal with large quantities of waste material. Because balers compress the volume of waste, they allow for more efficient waste transportation and storage.
Balers can be classified according to several different attributes, including waste material, orientation, operation method, and belting method.
Material to be Baled
Balers are typically used to bale paper and fiberboard, but specialized machines may also include special features or design attributes depending upon the type of material to be baled. The table below describes these attributes. Baler materials not listed below include biomass, laboratory waste, and plastics.
Baler waste material
Special features
Bottles / cans
Plastic bottle balers are typically taller and have large compression chambers due to the large compaction ratio of plastic bottles.
Frequently equipped with multiple cylinders for three-dimensional compression.
Rubber / tires
Must include an anti-bound device to prevent material bounch-back after compression.
Typically include a four-sided door to prevent friction between textiles and baler walls.
Image credit: Sinobaler | Granutech | Eagle Equipment | DirectIndustry
Machine Orientation
Balers may be classified as vertical or horizontal. Vertical balers are relatively simple machines consisting — as shown above — of a compression chamber, a hydraulic ram, and some type of control system.
Horizontal balers are typically larger and more complicated than vertical ones and often feature adjustable bale sizes, bale counters, automatic baling, and other automation features. They may be programmable logic controlled (PLC) and are usually loaded using a bulk material hopper.
A PLC-controlled horizontal baler. This machine features adjustable bale length, integral bale cutting knives, and hopper extension.

Balers and baling equipment may be manufactured, tested, and used according to various standards. Examples of baler standards include:

Message from kyledeb:
I've always liked
the color orange and it's meaning has evolved along with my
life. I have fond memories of orange smelly markers, and beautiful
sunsets on the ocean. When I was in high school orange started
evolving into a sort of good luck charm. I would wear it everywhere
and it came to sort of symbolize gratitude for the beautiful
life that I have been allowed to lead.
There was a point when I wrote here that orange symbolized Truth, but I've taken a different path towards Truth, recently, and I'm not sure if it's right to conflate that path towards Truth with the color orange. Orange continues to be symbolic of gratitude for me, though. Every day it represents a thank you for the next breath I take and the next beautiful moment I'm given the privilege of living through.
