Rational CLM applications and data encryption levels If there is a need to know the cipher used by CLM applications or RTC and the level of encryption used for web-clients, this blog should be of some help. Cipher refers to the algorithm used for performing encryption and decryption of the data. Generally, SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is used for data encryption, decryption and transmission using certificates or smart cards. However, this also depends on the kind of Application server being used. Based on the kind of application server in use, the respective product documentation should have the details on the cipher used. For example: Websphere Application Server, Apache Tomcat
a. For Internet Explorer, login to RTC and then right click on the web-page --> Properties;
b. For Firefox web-browser, if one hovers and clicks on the padlock symbol prior to URI in the address bar, say before https: //ho So, if the RTC/CLM installation is based on Websphere Application Server (v7.0), the site supports a minimum cipher strength of 168 bit encryption. This, can be confirmed by looking into the properties for ccm application web-page and the application server documentation.
By default, using the Apache Tomcat application server the site supports a minimum cipher strenght of 128 bit encr More details: The cipher indicates that the data is encrypted between the Internet browser and the Server. It doesn't encrypt the data on the database itself. This is what is behind the HTTPS protocol and is managed by the Application server. RTC is only an application installed on top of Jazz, which is installed on WebSphere.
Here is the link for the WebSphere v 7.0 documentation - About "TLS 1.0, 3DES with 168 bit encryption (High)". This explains SSL Version 3 and TLS Version 1.0 cipher specifications: http Etiquetas:  cipher clm rational-client-support rational security rational-team-concert encryption ssl |

Is your IBM Software Support the right level for you?
Great! That's a world class service from a world class company! IBM offers two license acquisition and Software Subscription and Support offerings- Passport Advantage, and Passport Advantage Express. Passport Advantage is designed for larger enterprises. Passport Advantage Express is designed to meet the needs of medium sized businesses. You can learn more about each here. So, let's say you are ready to upgrade your Rational software, and you have Subscription and Support in place. You login with your IBM ID to Passport Advantage Online and there you see the software you need, ready to be downloaded. Sure there could be a few teething problems while upgrading, and then quite possibly some issues to attend to after the go live date. Having IBM Subscription and Support means you can log these incidents (PMRs) through phone and online technical support using IBM's Service Request system.
Sounds pretty standard as far as support goes? Yes, this is standard support and is an excellent IBM service. But did you know that by having Subscription and Support in place, you can get an even more advanced support and risk avoidance service from IBM? You sure can! Reactive support is critical when you need expert help to address an issue that is affecting your bottom line - you need a resolution as quick as is possible! But if you want those issues handled as priority by IBM to get your environment back to maximum capacity rapidly, and would like an assigned IBM trusted advisor managing and escalating such issues on your behalf, you need to explore IBM's Soft Reactive support is one small element of this popular program, as the ultimate objective is to prevent issues in the first place. If you think your environment is fine tuned and you are using all of the functionality of your Rational software to the max, these guys will check it out and most likely find even more efficient ways for you to work with your software! These highly skilled experts are awesome! And if you haven't looked at how you are using you Rational software, or how it is implemented in your ever evolving environment, you could be amazed at how much you could bring down your operational running costs. AVP is much more than support, it gives you a relationship with IBM, someone to fight your corner. The AVP team will also help you to plan for upgrades so you don't encounter frustrating issues, and will help your employees to adopt the most current release of software. Your trusted advisor will even work side-by-side with you to help grow your skills too.

moreMat Kearney is set to unveil his highly anticipated new album "Just Kids" on February 24th with Inpop Records. The album came together over the past few years while Mat toured the world. For the very first time, he built a portable studio on his bus, and cut songs all over the globe from Los Angeles and Sweden to his home studio in Nashville.
moreThe Brilliance is a US-based liturgical band led by David Gungor and John Arndt, and announces a February 17 global release for the group's full-length album, Brother.

Her energy and passion for vocal proficiency is an innate ability inherited from her mother, Gospel phenomenon Bishop Barbara Ward-Farmer. Despite being a respected vocalist, one of Benita's greatest joys has been collaborating with her brother Lawrence Farmer IV.
moreThough Southern rock has always been the default template of Third Day, there's always discernable threads of worship music in their prodigious portfolio of songs. And over their storied career where they have had received 28 chart topping singles and sold over 7 million records, Third Day's best moments are arguably encapsulated in their worship songs.

moreluegrass music often fall into a grave trapping. In an effort to get every piece of string on every instrument to be shimmering in lightning paced speed, many bluegrass songs sound like a race against time. As a result, many such songs sound like it's an exhibition of which virtuoso can be playing at the highest velocity with little regard for the song's meaning and nuances.
more"Just Kids" unfolds like a novella with page after page of anecdotes from Mat Kearney's own life. With perspicuous attention paid to details, you can almost picture each scene in your mind's eye as Kearney sings about growing up, his struggles with faith, his bouts with self-identity, his run in with God, his meeting with his future wife, and his dreams and aspirations.
moreHow can a choir which started out with only 9 members go on to sing at the US 2013 Presidential Inauguration?

READ THE REST »Bees are very important not only to agriculture (they pollinate about 75 % of fruits, vegetables and nuts species around the world), they are also very important to many flowering plants. About 70 % of flowering plants rely on insects for pollination, bees being one of the more important pollinators. Your landscape can benefit greatly from attracting bees. Consider placing a block for orchard mason bees in your landscape. Orchard mason bees pollinate spring fruit trees, flowers and vegetables. They are non-aggressive and one may observe them at a close range without fear of being stung. Directions for making a block from scrap lumber can be found on the NC State Website at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Other/note109/note109.html Ground dwelling bees will be showing up soon around the coastal plains and most in the piedmont and foothills a week or so later. They may scare people but they are non-aggressive and beneficial for pollination. Remember, don't spray with insecticides plants that are blooming.
READ THE REST »Herbicides are a temporary solution to a permanent problem – weeds! New weed seeds will always be travelling into your yard. The best long-term solution to controlling weeds is to have a healthy lawn. Control the weeds you already have before they get large and set seed. A little work now will save a lot of trouble later. Cool season lawns should have been fertilized before now. They will not need to be fertilized again until September. If you fertilize them now, it will encourage the growth of a fungal disease called brown spot. Warm season grasses do not need to be fertilized at this time. Start mowing once your lawn reaches 4 to 5 inches tall and never mow back to less than 3 inches. Grass clippings should be small enough to fall between the grass blades. Don't collect clippings unless they are heavy enough to smother the grass. When using mulch near your house foundation, use mulch that doesn't contain cellulose, such as pine needles and pine bark. The less cellulose in the mulch, the fewer termites are attracted to it. Also, never spread mulch up to the foundation or lowest course of siding on your home. While it may have a nicer appearance, it can allow termites to use the cover of mulch to invade your house undetected. Fresh wood chips and sawdust can be used on the surface as mulch but do not mix in with the soil where they would tie up nitrogen making it unavailable to plants. Since wood chips contain cellulose it is preferable to use them away from the house foundation.

Jo as she preferred to be known as, it seemed that every time she heard Joanne she always felt that she was in trouble.
At the age of 17, long hazel brown hair with eyes to match, she was indeed a very beautiful farmers daughter.
Jo always had the idea of taken over her fathers dairy farm, if Drake was still working at that time. Drake was a young farmer in training, her father always gave him a hard time but by the end of every day they always sat down and had a chat. Only being one year older then she was with short dull blonde hair, sky blue eyes with a short but ruff goatee and well built, Jo just loved every time that she saw him but also doubt it that she was too nervous and too shy to even say hi.
One day, her father came up to her.

She roamed the grounds idly, passing amusement rides and dart-throwing games. Stacy had just finished glancing at a craft-sale when she found herself outside the rows of barns that showcased farm animals. The roar of grunts and squeals, not to mention the overwhelming stench of feces, were usually enough to ward off the average person. But not Stacy; she strolled right inside without a second thought.
The source of most all noise and filth in the barn were the pigs. She remembered that as a little girl she had always been quite fascinated by the swine, and had even carried around a tiny plush version of the animal. Now, however, they onl

The Revenge
Detention was in not at all fun. Every minute seemed like an hour and there wasnt anything to distract you from the clock. Your only choice was to wait it out. Of course, there was the very slim chance of striking up a conversation with the teacher watching you. But that was highly unlikely
For Melissa Garret, detention was a whole new thing. She was generally a good kid; excellent grades and work habits. So why was she in detention? Well, during the last class, her best friend Mia had randomly thrown a book at their teachers head. Mr. Ashford hadnt been too happy about that, but when he demanded who did it, Mia had pointed at Melissa. And before she could defend herself the angry Science teacher had written her up for detention.
So, here she sat, in an empty classroom with her least favorite teacher. Itll be over soon, Melissa attempted to assure herself, but when she looked to the clock, it stated there was still ov

add some food to the hens' trough and then take a basket
and collect the eggs from the chickens' last night's

of heading straight towards the door. I wouldn't want to

Over the years, we have continued to add new devices to our specs comparison chart of Samsung's Galaxy devices. We started with the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, because prior to those, Samsung was giving carriers their own custom versions of each and it was impossible to keep track of. But with those, we started seeing carriers adopt a single model, bringing consistency and a brand explosion to the Galaxy line. As you probably guessed, we went ahead and added the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge to the list to show how far Samsung has come over the years. (more…)

Gr 7 Up Cody LeBeau would like to see himself as a powerful ninja rather than a wimpy Abenaki teenager. He fantasizes about overpowering the bullies at his new high school, something he is unable to do outside his daydreams. The teen is hopeful that his dreams will be realized when his mysterious Uncle John appears to compete in a martial-arts event. Instead, he teaches his nephew...The Way. Though not what he expected, Cody begins to feel differently about himself, learning to deflect rather than engage the bullies. When some of his fellow "losers" decide to seek revenge in a Columbine-like massacre, Cody steps in to thwart their plans, not as a ninja hero, but as a whistle-blower. This story may appeal to fans of tae kwon do or karate. However, Bruchac's prose is heavy-handed, giving Cody unrealistic thoughts like "Fists of impotent fury clenched at my sides..." in the heat of the moment. Likewise, the boy's "loser" attitude is overplayed; there's more told than shown. The author seems more comfortable developing Uncle John's character but, unfortunately, the man comes across as didactic rather than wise. The Native American details that flavor most of Bruchac's other works appear stereotypical in this setting. The climactic Columbine subplot seems contrived; students will chafe under this artificial presentation of themselves.-H. H. Henderson, Heritage Middle School, Deltona, FL

Because I enjoyed the blue-brown portrait a lot and because my painting time is very limited these days and because painting with just two colors doesn't require too much brain power, I decided to try again.
This one is Van Dyke Brown Hue + Pyrrole Red (+Titanium White).
And this one the same brown + C.P. Cadmium Orange (+white)
I painted them both in my moleskine journal. Wish I had a layer of gesso, the paint would look more creamy, but I didn't have the patience to wait for gesso to dry.
Interesting how the left one seems cold compared to the right one...
I think that this is a fun way to explore color, so I'll probably continue.
Which one do you like more - red or orange?

They are both WONDERFUL....but if I had to pick my favorite of the two I'd vote for the warmer skin tones of the Cad orange paining.
Hope you had a great Christmas!!

Three years ago I interviewed Dave Greenberger, owner of Dave's Gourmet Albacore in the Harvey West neighborhood, where he cans flash-frozen, line-caught fish. Recently I noticed they've added a large deli complete with tables, as well as numerous canned products.
Dave's albacore has so much flavor that it can be enjoyed undressed. Each piece of prime fish is cut by hand, individually canned, and then cooked, retaining all of its flavorful and healthy juices. The Tuna Bagel Melt ($8) showcased this mildly flavored white fish with tomatoes on two bagel halves, topped with thin slices of cheese and broiled. Salty, smoky albacore was pulled from the case to fill another tender bagel with cream cheese and capers ($8).

Clean Energy Fuels Corp (NASDAQ:CLNE) is scheduled to take its turn at the earnings plate after tonight's close. Historically, the alternative energy issue has had mixed results, falling short of analysts' expectations in three of the past eight quarters. The price action that follows the company's results hasn't given Wall Street much to shout about, either, with the stock losing an average of 3.3% in the following session.
As such, option players have been bearishly aligning themselves heading into tonight's scheduled announcement. The equity's 50-day put/call volume ratio of 0.58 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than all other such readings taken in the past year. Simply stated, puts have been bought to open over calls at an annual-high clip in recent months. In the front-month series, specifically, this has translated into heavy accumulations of put open interest at the 12 and 13 strikes, where a collective 3,851 contracts currently reside.
This skeptically slanted skew is evident outside of the options pits, as well. For starters, short interest accounts for more than one-quarter of the stock's available float, and it would take 22 sessions to cover these shorted shares, at CLNE's average daily pace of trading. Additionally, there are seven "hold" or "strong sell" recommendations levied against the stock, compared to just two "buy" or better ratings.
Looking at CLNE's technical backdrop gives hints as to why pessimism surrounds the stock. Since last November, the stock has been churning mostly in the $12-to-$14 range, resulting in a modest year-to-date advance of 3.3%. Ahead of tonight's report, though, the stock is following in the bullish footsteps of the broader equities market, and was last seen 1.8% higher to trade at $12.86.
For Clean Energy Fuels Corp's (NASDAQ:CLNE) second quarter, Wall Street is calling for a loss of 17 cents per share, slightly wider than its year-ago loss of 16 cents.

Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago Valerie, a brash newspaper reporter, offered him an incredible sum of cash to sail her to this unspoiled paradise; but shortly after docking he was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming over the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island with nothing but a gun and his wits to help him survive. And the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become...

Jan 15, 2012 Iron SightsWhy Can I Not Get The GAME!!!
D I Have To Get It Off Steam!!!???
Is It Availible On Steam!!!???
I remember getting this game when it was new and I hated it. Started playing it again this week and it's actually worse. The graphics are bad, the voice acting is bad, the story is bad, the gunplay is bad, the AI is bad, the level design is bad, the enemy design is bad, the loading times are bad -- yes, 9 years on! -- and everything else about this game is just bad.
I'm compelled to push through it just to say I did, but thank Christ FC2 and 3 aren't story sequels.
I just bought this game not expecting much, but it is absolutely amazing, funnest time I've ever had in a single player fps game, i can't wait for far cry 3. :D
Looks like you made this game in Torque

Wasn't 100% impresses with the hotel. Room was outdated, not what you think of with country club
Forgot to mention, the shower didn't drain well, so you were standing in about an inch of water while you showered. :/
Stayed here out of desperation; other places were booked & now I know why this wasn't. These rooms were probably awesome...30 yrs ago. Outdated. But, breakfast was great. Beautiful views. Allows dogs.

A new sidewalk hazard mitigation initiative, designed to incrementally eliminate trip-and-fall hazards on the sidewalks of Sonoma – along with the accompanying liability – will be on the City Council agenda Monday night.
Kicked in gear by new City Public Works Director and Engineer Dan Takasugi, the proposed policy will roll out a new practice of proactively surveying city sidewalks for tripping hazards. Historically, the city has only acted to mitigate rough sidewalks after receiving a complaint, and has not actively looked for hazards.
The new policy is likely to shock property owners unaware that they're responsible for the safety of the sidewalks abutting their property. The cost of repairing cracks and raised edges varies widely from one location to the next, but raised edges less than 1.75-inches in height can typically by cut for about $30 per-inch of linear foot. City staff are proposing to cover the cost of all repairs below the 1.75-inch height threshold. Beyond that height, raised sidewalks typically need to be removed and replaced, a cost the city will share 50-50 with adjacent property owners whose share of the cost would be capped at about $1,000, the proposal suggests.
Under current policy, according to a city staff report, "Once a complaint is received by the City, a code enforcement letter is sent to the abutting property owner, directing a timely repair in accordance with state and city codes. The enforcement action is typically not well received."
But the city does not intend to rush out and survey every sidewalk in Sonoma and then issue repair orders for every hazard found.

Loose-coupling a cellular automaton model and GIS: long-term urban growth prediction for San Francisco and Washington/Baltimore
International Journal of Geographical Information Science
- By:
- K.C. Clarke, L.J. Gaydos
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
Prior research developed a cellular automaton model, that was calibrated by using historical digital maps of urban areas and can be used to predict the future extent of an urban area. The model has now been applied to two rapidly growing, but remarkably different urban areas: the San Francisco Bay region in California and the Washington/Baltimore corridor in the Eastern United States. This paper presents the calibration and prediction results for both regions, reviews their data requirements, compares the differences in the initial configurations and control parameters for the model in the two settings, and discusses the role of GIS in the applications. The model has generated some long term predictions that appear useful for urban planning and are consistent with results from other models and observations of growth. Although the GIS was only loosely coupled with the model, the model's provision of future urban patterns as data layers for GIS description and analysis is an important outcome of this type of calculation.Additional Publication Details

Importer Oliver McCrum writes: "The Roero area is becoming known for a forward, accessible version of the Nebbiolo grape. Typically these wines (called simply 'Roero') are less tannic than versions from the Barolo zone, strawberryish, and often show a cocoa note from aging in smaller wood. Marco's is top-knotch; drink now with lamb or age for 3-5 years for more complexity."

I purchased these recently for my wife. We ride side by side and I've noticed that the cuff of her trousers does not stay down. Now that the weather is getting cooler, these are EXCELLENT. I've got many complements on them. The decorative silver concho just ADDs to something that was already a good idea. I got a pair for myself, as well.

i've been wanting something like this for a long time, great idea! perhaps they should have some that are in lengths just for women? the elastic is just a couple inches too long to work with all my jeans.
