Use Impersonation and Delegation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998351.aspx

Delegation of authentication

In Windows, a server can be marked as “trusted for delegation.” This means a server can authenticate to services as if it were a user. The services cannot tell that the request is being made by a server rather than directly by a user.

There are two types of delegation:

Unconstrained delegation: If you select the Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos Only) check box, the server can access any other service as the user as long as the user authenticated to it using Kerberos.
Note: This setting does not work with ADFS deployments.

Constrained delegation: If you select the Trust this computer to specified services only check box, the server can access only certain services as the user.

The setup for Citrix for Ping must involve Kerberos and is similar to setup for SharePoint front endservers and sql server.

Block Certain Web Sites using Your Linksys WRT54G Series Router

Find the screen shots:
The point is to create a policy name and enter the list of PC's that the policy is going to be applied for, in my case I just gave a range of PCS 192.168.1.0 ~ 254.
If you want to be specific give the Mac Address.
In the "Website Blocking by URL Address" specify the website, skip the "http://" from the front of the URL name or the router will not block access to the website.
You can also block it by "Website Blocking by Keyword" the same way.

Here’s a question that comes up quite a bit. This time, it was on Stump the Panel:

Does anyone know how I can use one SharePoint List but have different site users only access specific views (kinda like security trimming views) The scenario is I am working with some lawyers who should only access data on the list they are responsible for and shouldn’t see the data the other lawyers are responsible for. I want to only maintain one list so that its easy for me to update just the one list.

Response from Paul Grenier, Moderator of Stump the Panel:

Perfect reason to use folders. Folders can have their own permissions. You can break inheritance and give every object in them the same permissions. This allows you to group things in a list or library by permission. Works great for things like a library of personal expense reports.

"you can set views to not show folders"

Post opposing folders and using views instead. But provides no idea on how to implement item level security.
