It's a wild world out there! One of the hottest celebrity trends of the summer seems to be the animal print. From the grocery store to the red carpet, celebrity moms have been rocking their very best leopard, zebra, and snake print fashions.
The trend transcends age with celebrities showing their wild side from their teen years all the way into their retirement years. Animal prints have been spotted (pun intended) on everyone from Reese Witherspoon who showed her inner cougar at the MTV Movie Awards to post-pregnant Pink using the spotted look to disguise her itty bitty baby Willow from the photographers.
Here are our favorite celebrity moms rocking out the animal print this summer….

Notice: Mr. Turner – an exhibition has sold out! There are no further tickets available to purchase in advance. The Shop, Coffee Shop, Restaurant, Park and Pleasure Grounds continue to be open as normal, with free entry. The House Car Park closes at 4.30 pm throughout March.
Magnificent country house and park with an internationally important art collection
The vast late 17th-century mansion is set in a beautiful 283-hectare (700-acre) deer park, landscaped by 'Capability' Brown and immortalised in Turner's paintings.
Inside, the house contains the National Trust's finest collection of pictures, with numerous works by Turner, Van Dyck, Reynolds and Blake, ancient and Neo-classical sculpture, fine furniture and carvings by Grinling Gibbons.
The servants' quarters contain fascinating kitchens (including a copper batterie de cuisine of more than 1,000 pieces) and other service rooms.
Mr. Turner – an exhibition
10 January - 11 March 2015
This January, a major Turner art exhibition featuring over 30 pieces on loan from major collections, is set to open at Petworth House, West Sussex.
The show, Mr. Turner - an exhibition, has been inspired by Mike Leigh's award-winning film, Mr. Turner, filmed in part at Petworth House and Park.
Pieces in the Exhibition Gallery include major loans of Turner's paintings in oil and watercolour, rarely seen portraits of Turner, such as John Phillip's touching late watercolour – possibly the last painted image of the artist before his death – and CW Cope's oil sketch, one of the very few visual records of Turner at work. There will also be the first showing of a painting by 19th-century artist Alexander McInnes, discovered on the BBC Antiques Roadshow.
Alongside the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to to view 20 extraordinary Turner paintings in their natural location inside the Mansion House, in addition to a visit to the Artist's Studio (not normally open to the public) used by Turner and other artist-guests in the early 19th century.
There will also be a selection of props and costumes on display from the film, as well as paintings created by Timothy Spall in preparation for his role as Turner.

Transcriptional regulation by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is essential for survival. Since the GR can influence transcription both through DNA-binding-dependent and -independent mechanisms, we attempted to assess their relative importance in vivo. In order to separate these modes of action, we introduced the point mutation A458T into the GR by gene targeting using the Cre/loxP system. This mutation impairs dimerization and therefore GRE-dependent transactivation while functions that require cross-talk with other transcription factors, such as transrepression of AP-1-driven genes, remain intact. In contrast to GR-/- mice, these mutants termed GRdim are viable, revealing the in vivo relevance of DNA-binding-independent activities of the GR.

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching ten thousand messages in a given week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Our regular monthly column keeps you abreast of the latest discussions and decisions, selected and summarized by Zack. Zack has been publishing a weekly online digest, the Kernel Traffic newsletter, for over five years now. Even reading Kernel Traffic alone can be a time-consuming task.
Linux Magazine now provides you with the quintessence of Linux kernel activities, straight from the horse's mouth.
exFAT Support
Someone pointed out on the list that Microsoft's exFAT filesystem seemed to be their answer to large portable flash drives and asked what, if anything, was being done in the Linux world to support the exFAT filesystem. Hirofumi Ogawa replied that he'd already written a read-only driver, but because of time constraints, he had not been working actively on adding write support. He posted his code, and H. Peter Anvin asked whether there were any filesystem specs available that didn't require signing away the ability to write code to them. Hirofumi replied that his own work had been based on reverse-engineering the filesystem on disk. Meanwhile, Alex Buell converted Hirofumi's patches to a standard kernel module that can be compiled outside of the kernel, just as long as the system has a recent kernel installed. The code is available for download at: http://www.munted.org.uk/programming/exfat.tar.bz2.
GPL, LGPL, and IBM IP
Mathieu Desnoyers wanted to release the userspace RCU code he worked on under the LGPL instead of the GPL so that proprietary code could link with it and use it. RCU, read-copy-update, is a library that ensures that data objects defined in the kernel do not appear undefined to other running code that tries to access them before the definition process has completed. Defining and initializing a struct, for example, could expose it in an incomplete form if the compiler or CPU tries to optimize the data assignments and puts the struct assignment itself ahead of the code assigning values to the variables within that struct. Mathieu's library makes protection against this available to user space. He wanted to know whether switching to the LGPL would be legal and acceptable to the Linux community.
Alan Cox pointed out that IBM owned the patent on the RCU idea and they had only released the patent for use in GPLed code, so Mathieu would need to get permission from them before proceeding.
Ktrace Sleeper Kernel Tracing
Jiaying Zhang created ktrace, a mechanism for tracing kernel events by inserting tracepoints in the kernel code. The reason for this innovation is that the existing markers code are deemed too heavy-weight. By simplifying the design, Jiaying and the other ktrace developers found significant performance enhancements. Some prototype code is posted.

We'll keep this post short since there are more pressing news stories than Chris Brown's neck tattoos. But just in case you were wondering, his representatives have denied allegations that his new neck tattoo of a woman's face with strange markings on it was an homage to his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
"His tattoo is a sugar skull [associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead] and a MAC cosmetics design he saw," Brown's rep told the good people at TMZ. "It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported."

Abortion is a choice filled with moral ambivalences. JO CHOPRA seeks answers to who lies at the very bottom of the pile of 'wantedness' …
Over 100 million baby girls are missing. Don't bother searching - they're gone forever. Victims of what The Economist - in its March 6 cover story – calls "gendercide," they were detected to be female while in the womb and aborted because their parents preferred sons.
It's a hideous reality, particularly in North India, where the sex ratio in some areas (Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan are especially bad) is 120 boys to 100 girls. And the social consequence of an abnormal number of unattached men is frightening to contemplate. But I'm thinking more widely here - not about the horror of targeting girls, but the horror of targeting any baby, for any reason. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
Women are constrained by biology. Children, even when they are planned and eagerly anticipated are still disruptive and demanding. For some women, pregnancy can be life-threatening. For poor women, another child may tip the balance into misery and chaos. And for any woman with career ambitions, a baby usually means postponing them.
So legal, safe abortion seemed an answer to prayer - the solution to unwanted pregnancy. But many things are not what they seem, and many great ideas turn out to be not so great.
Feminism gone awry
We can seldom predict the long term effect of our actions. Surely no feminist marching for the "right to choose" back in the 1970's imagined women would take that right and use it to kill their daughters. No feminist imagined the right to abortion would end up skewing the sex ratio to such an extent that even sober, staid sociologists, economists and bureaucrats are alarmed.
Because the killing was supposed to be random. Abortion was meant to be an equal opportunity destroyer. Any baby - black, brown or white, rich or poor, male or female - was supposed to have had as good a chance as any other of being targeted. The only criterion was supposed to be 'wantedness'.
So what a shock for pro-choice activists to find that across all classes and colours little girls weren't wanted. And in such large numbers that sex ratios – a force of nature which even self-corrects for boys' greater susceptibility to infant disease – were massively affected. You might be forgiven for thinking that pro-choice feminists would sigh and leave it at that. After all, the fight was never for abortion – it was for choice. If women are choosing something I don't like, that's their choice. Right?
Pro-choice activists and traditional feminists around the world are united against "gendercide." Here in India, laws prevent ultrasound clinics from revealing the sex of the baby and every State campaigns against female feticide. Chief Ministers and Governors, Mahila Mandals and school children: everyone is on the bandwagon. Because girls are essential. Where would we be without them?
In ecological terms, girls are a keystone species: one whose presence is crucial to a particular ecosystem and whose destruction can damage it irreparably. Girls are an unusually obvious choice. Because keystone species are generally not the ones we think of, not the ones on the hit parade. Lions and elephants don't make the list. Keystoners are more likely to be the spotted owl or the humble lichen. The kind of creatures you don't notice until they're gone.
The lichen, for example, is a colonising organism which can revitalize soil devastated by volcanic ash, fix its own nitrogen and disintegrate rocks. It may seem dispensable – it's only a fungus, after all. But without it, the ecosystem of the Arctic region would suffer cataclysmically and the entire planet would be affected. That lichen got me thinking. If baby girls are obvious, who are the ones we still aren't thinking of? Who are the snail darters, the spotted owls? Who are the less obvious targets, the ones whose absence will create a ripple effect we cannot even begin to imagine right now?
My money is on unborn babies with disability, the ones who have long been the acceptable target of amniocentesis detection and subsequent abortion, the ones everyone agrees are a tragedy and best done away with. It may take more imagination, but perhaps some Nobel Laureate will realize that a world without, say, Down's Syndrome kids(whose number has plummeted in the West since the test to detect them was perfected) would be a poor world indeed. That Nobel Laureate may even be able to figure out why.
The outrage over "gendercide" fills me with hope. When activists talk about women choosing to abort their daughters, they speak wisely, compassionately and insightfully about the societal problems that force women to make such heart-wrenching decisions. They focus on changing those forces because they know that the problem isn't the girls but a world that doesn't want them. Change the world.
Celebrating variety
We share this earth with a staggering array of life forms, each essential in its own way. Saying we are interconnected isn't a platitude, it's a fact. We exclude at our peril. Just "not excluding" may save us from great harm. Self-interest alone may be reason enough to do it. But inclusion is much more. Inclusion revels in the variety the earth contains and celebrates life for its own sake, not for what it saves us from. It's a wonderful world, unpredictable and full of surprises. Which sex you are, whether you have a brilliant mind or all your chromosomes in perfect order are just random facts about you. They aren't the whole story.
Little girls, spotted owls and people with disabilities enrich our lives in ways we cannot begin to fathom and those of us lucky enough to be ecologists in the particular ecosystems they inhabit can make grateful lists of rocks they have disintegrated and nitrogen they've created from thin air.
But that's a bonus. Like the rest of us, they're here because they're here. They don't need to justify their existence. For just as "every cubic inch of space is a miracle," so every species is a keystone species.

Chicago police whack bumper crop of 'weed'
October 4, 2012 12:00 AMCHICAGO -- In Chicago, a bustling urban metropolis where skyscrapers are as likely to sprout up as anything a farmer might plant, someone decided there was just enough room to grow something a little more organic: marijuana.
The plants grew even taller than the tallest Chicago Bulls. But just days before the crop on a chunk of land the size of two football fields would have been ready to harvest, a police officer and county sheriff's deputy in a helicopter spotted it as they headed back to their hangar, about three miles away.
On Wednesday -- a day after the discovery of the largest marijuana farm anyone at the police department can remember -- officers became farmers for a day, as they began to chop down about 1,500 marijuana plants that police said could have earned the growers as much as $10 million.
No arrests had been made as of Wednesday, and police were still trying to determine who owns the property that housed the grow site on the city's far South Side. But police said they were hopeful that because of the size of the operation, informants or others might provide tips about those involved, including a man seen running from the area as the helicopter swooped low.
James O'Grady, commander of the department's narcotics division, said they've never seen anything like it before, in part because Chicago's harsh winters mean growers have a lot less time to plant, grow and harvest marijuana than their counterparts in less inclement places, such as California and Mexico. The bumper crop was likely planted in spring, Cmdr. O'Grady said.
Add to that the urban sprawl: There are few spots in Chicago where such an operation could go unnoticed because of all the buildings, roads and residents. The growers took pains to ensure that their crop was largely hidden by a canopy of trees and surrounding vegetation. "Somebody put a lot of thought into it," Cmdr. O'Grady said. "But they probably didn't anticipate the helicopter."
Chicago Police Officer Stan Kuprianczyk, a pilot, said police helicopters flew "over it all the time," to and from their hangar, without spying the grow site. Yet somehow, a number of factors came together to allow Cook County Sheriff's Deputy Edward Graney to spot the plants.
"We had the right altitude, the right angle, the right sunlight, and I happened to be glancing down," said Deputy Graney. He said he initially spotted five plants or so through the trees before he asked Officer Kuprianczyk to circle around for a closer look. "We just happened to be right over a small hole in the trees, and we looked down," Officer Kuprianczyk said.
They also happened to have the right training, Deputy Graney said, explaining that just a few weeks earlier, a much smaller operation in suburban Chicago prompted them to fly over and videotape the scene, so that they might be able to recognize marijuana if they ever saw it from the air again.
So, by the time Deputy Graney spotted the marijuana plants, which are a much brighter shade of green than the surrounding vegetation, he had a pretty good idea what he was looking at.

Is this sci fi - or the near future?
Michio Kaku, author of "Physics of the Future," describes a planetary civilization in which the next generation will lead "the lives of the gods."
In 1863 French novelist Jules Verne wrote "Paris in the Twentieth Century," a remarkably prophetic piece of literature about the city in 1960. Verne envisioned glass skyscrapers, gasoline-powered cars, fax machines, and a communications network much like the Internet. Acclaimed physicist and author Michio Kaku has set himself the same bar for accuracy in his latest book, Physics of the Future.
Though he acknowledges that "predictions will always be flawed," Kaku asserts his book is the most authoritative attempt to describe our coming century. I spoke with Kaku about the future of technology, humanity, and why we should believe him.
Q. How is "Physics of the Future" different from your 2008 bestseller "Physics of the Impossible"?
"Physics of the Impossible" goes thousands of years into the future, when time travel, wormholes, and dimensional gateways may be a possibility. This new book is much more ambitious. We're talking about the next 50 to 100 years. I asked 300 of the world's top scientists very concrete questions: Who will have jobs in the future? How long will we live? How will we communicate by computers? What about robots?
Q. Moore's law states that computer power doubles about every 18 months. How has this rule of thumb driven your predictions?
For the next 10 years or so, Moore's law will hold. After that it will sputter and eventually collapse. But it does mean that we can get a pretty good handle on how much computer power will be available and what we can do with it. For example, by 2020 computer chips will be distributed by the billions into the environment, including into our contact lenses. You'll blink and be online. Your contact lens will recognize people's faces, print out their biography, and give you subtitles as they speak Chinese or German or what have you. The military, of course, is pioneering this technology. They have a version of this now. I've tried it. Through a little eyepiece I saw an entire battlefield, with the positions of friendly troops, enemy troops, and tactics all marked.

Sloppy Latics concern boss
19 Aug 2009 - 08:10:14
Manager Roberto Martinez blamed "sloppy" finishing for Wigan Athletic's 1-0 defeat at home to Wolves.
Martinez's first game at the DW Stadium ended in disappointment Andy Keogh's early header separated the sides.
The Latics were brought back down to earth after Saturday's season-opening 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.
"We were sloppy, we didn't have energy and we couldn't get hold of the game and Wolves took advantage," said Martinez.
"We had the worst possible start and it allowed Wolves - playing away from home - to get behind the ball and get organised.
"That is the hardest thing in football when you need to break things down.
"I felt we dictated the play well in the second half without creating enough chances - which is something we need to improve."

US Military Launched Secret Rescue Operation for James Foley, Other Americans
iStockphoto/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — U.S. special operations forces early this summer launched a secret, major rescue operation in Syria to save James Foley and a number of Americans held by the extremist group ISIS, but the mission failed because the hostages weren't there, senior administration officials told ABC News Wednesday.
President Obama authorized the "substantial and complex" rescue operation after the officials said a "broad collection of intelligence" led the U.S. to believe the hostages were being held in a specific location in the embattled Middle Eastern nation.
When "several dozen" U.S. special operation members landed in Syria, however, they were met with gunfire and "while on site, it became apparent the hostages were not there," one of the officials said.
The special operators engaged in a firefight in which ISIS suffered "a good number" casualties, the official said, while the American forces suffered only a single minor injury. The American forces were able to get back on helicopters and escape.
"Intelligence is not a perfect science," the senior official said. As to how the intelligence failed and why the hostages were not there, the official said, "The truth is, we don't know. And that's the truth. When we got there, they weren't there. We don't know why that is."
Much about the daring mission itself remains a secret — officials said they did not want to reveal too much about the rescue attempt for fear of spoiling future efforts.
"It was conducted, but was not ultimately successful," a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
The operation was what senior government officials described as a major undertaking — involving special operations forces from multiple branches of the military, helicopters, fixed-wing airplanes, and surveillance aircraft.
A video showing the brutal murder of James Foley apparently at the hands of an ISIS fighter appeared online Tuesday.

While industry and policymakers debate the best forms of energy to invest in, world demand for all of it continues to grow, according to a report released this month from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Wilmoth: Global energy demand expected to grow rapidly
The Administration's International Energy Outlook 2013 found that world energy use is likely to jump 56 percent through 2040, with almost half of that increase coming from the growing economies of China and India.
"This will have a profound effect on the development of world energy markets," EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski said.
The report shows a strong growth in renewable forms of energy, but finds that fossil fuels will continue to dominate global energy use for the foreseeable future.
"Renewable energy and nuclear power are the world's fastest-growing energy sources, each increasing by 2.5 percent per year. However, fossil fuels continue to support almost 80 percent of world energy use through 2040," the report stated.
World use of oil and other liquid fuels is expected to grow to 115 million barrels a day in 2040, up from 87 million barrels per day in 2010.
The boost in demand is likely to fuel continued growth in the oil patch in Oklahoma and throughout North America.
To meet the projected demand, oil production must increase by 28.3 million barrels per day by 2040.
The report projected that about 60 percent of the new production will come from non-OPEC nations.
Almost two-thirds of the demand growth for oil is expected to come from the transportation sector as the demand for cars balloons, especially in China and India. Most of those cars will run on diesel or gasoline.

So Ive been seaching around and cant seem to find what Im looking for. My question is does anyone else have trouble shooting Gold dot out of their Kimber Ultra Carry II? Mine feeds ball ammo fine but has trouble with Gold dot. I havent had the chance to put any other good defensive ammo through it yet (mainly because of the cost!) but I was wondering if anyone can chime in here and recommend anything
The only thing that bothered me was that I was shooting cheap FMJ, and the gun was quite dirty till I started to shoot the GD. Think that had anything to do with the problem??

Pittsburgh Penguins (41-21-9)
@Ottawa Senators (25-35-10)
Tuesday, March 15
Scotiabank Place
Attendance: 19,249
Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy both notched a goal and an assist to lead five different Pittsburgh goal scorers, as the Penguins rolled past Ottawa, 5-1, at Scotiabank Place.
Zbynek Michalek, Ben Lovejoy and Matt Cooke also tallied for Pittsburgh, which has won four of its last five games. Chris Kunitz posted three assists in the win while Brent Johnson made 21 saves.
"It's nice that we can compliment each other when we're out there and put pucks to the right areas. It's nice to be successful," Kunitz said of new linemates Staal and Kennedy.
Ryan Shannon was the lone offense for the Senators, who have lost two in a row since a three-game winning streak. Craig Anderson let in all five goals while being peppered with 41 shots.
Pittsburgh struck first on Kennedy's perfectly timed re-direct. Paul Martin blasted a shot from the left point toward Kennedy, who was camped out near the side of the net. The 24-year-old center swiped it in mid-air past Anderson for his 16th goal of the season.
The second period opened with three goals in three minutes, and the Pens created some breathing room.
Staal put the Pens up 2-0, jamming home a loose puck around the crease 1:21 in.
The Sens halved the lead with their only goal of the game on Shannon's power- play tally 47 seconds later. However, Pittsburgh reclaimed the two-goal lead just 3:05 into the second. This time it was Lovejoy that slammed home a one- timer between Anderson's legs off a Staal pass from behind the net.
Pittsburgh added onto its lead, 4-1, 7 1/2 minutes in when Cooke tipped in Dustin Jeffrey's wrister with his skate. The controversial goal was upheld after video review and Michalek tacked on a third period goal at the 8:47 mark of the third to make up the final tally.
"Obviously it's not the way you want to lose. When you get outshot 41 to whatever it is, that's not our game," Anderson said. "The way we were winning games was playing a 2-1 gritty hockey game, taking away the other team's chances and capitalizing on our opportunities. Tonight Pittsburgh played their system to a tee and they capitalized on our mistakes."

The JSP Standard Template Library (JSTL) is a very new component released by Sun for JSP programming. JSTL allows you to program your JSP pages using tags, rather than the scriptlet code that most JSP programmers are already accustomed to. JSTL can do nearly everything that regular JSP scriptlet code can do. You may be wondering why we need yet another HTML generation programming language. JSTL was introduced was to allow JSP programmers to program using tags rather than Java code. To show why this is preferable, a quick example is in order. We will examine a very simple JSP page that counts to ten. We will examine this page both as regular scriptlet-based JSP, and then as JSTL. When the count to ten example is programmed using scriptlet based JSP, the JSP page appears as follows. As you can see from the preceding example, using scriptlet code produces page source code the contains a mix of HTML tags and Java statements. There are several reasons why this mixing of programming styles is not optimal. The primary reason that it is not optimal to mix scriptlet and tag-based code is readability. This readability apples both to humans and computers. JSTL allows the human programmer to look at a program that consists entirely of HTML and HTML-like tags. The readability of JSP scriptlet code does not just apply to human beings. The mixing of scriptlet and HTML code is also hard for computers to read. This is particularly true of HTML authoring tools such as Someone's Dreamweaver and Microsoft FrontPage. Currently, most HTML authoring tools will segregate JSP scriptlet code as non-editable blocks. The HTML authoring tools usually do not modify the JSP scriptlet code directly. The following code shows how the count to ten example would be written using JSTL. As you can see, this code listing is much more constant, as only tags are used. HTML and JSTL tags are mixed to produce the example. When you examine the preceding source code, you can see that the JSP page consists entirely of tags. The above code makes use of HTML tags such  and
. The use of tags is not confined just to HTML tags. This code also makes use of JSTL tags such as <c:forEach> and <c:out>. In this article you will be introduced to some of the basics of JSTL. To use JSTL, you must have a JSP 1.2 (or higher) container installed. One of the most commonly used JSP containers is the Apache Tomcat Web server. You can obtain a copy of Tomcat from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/. Using Tomcat alone will allow you to use regular JSP scriptlet code. To use JSTL, you must install JSTL into Tomcat. JSTL can be obtained from the same source as Tomcat. The main URL for JSTL is http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/. To use JSTL, you must unzip the distribution files and install them into the correct locations within Tomcat. To properly install JSTL for use with Tomcat, follow these three steps: After completing the preceding three steps, you are now ready to test your installation of JSTL. This can be done by creating a JSP page that uses JSTL. A very simple example would be the "count to ten" example shown before. You should place your JSP file inside the Webroot directory (C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\ROOT). Once the Tomcat server is started, you should now be able to browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080/count.jsp to see your page. If you do not have JSTL installed correctly, there will likely be no error message. If JSTL is not interpreting your tags, they will be passed through directly to the Web browser. The Web browser will interpret these tags as unknown HTML tags. Most browsers simply ignore the unknown HTML tags. JSTL is often spoken of as a single-tag library. JSTL is actually four tag libraries. These tag libraries are summarized as follows. In this article, we will only take a brief look at a few of the core tags. We will examine a simple example that shows how to process data that a user enters into a form. Before we examine this program, we must first see how JSTL handles expressions. Expression handling in JSTL is accomplished by using the EL expression language, just as it is done in JSP 2.0. In the next section, we will examine the EL expression language. One major component of JSP 2.0 is the new expression language named EL. EL is used extensively in JSTL. However, it is important to remember that EL is a feature of JSP and not of JSTL. JSP scriptlet code used with JSP 2.0 can contain EL expressions. The following lines of code demonstrate using EL inside of JSP scriptlet code. As you can see form the preceding code, the values "total" and "shipping" are added and displayed as the HTML is generated. These expressions can be used inside of JSTL tags as well. One important requirement of JSTL 1.0 was that JSTL could be used with JSP 1.2. Because JSP 1.2 does not support EL, it is necessary to provide a few additional JSTL tags that facilitate the use of EL. For example, if you wanted to use JSTL to display the above expression, you would use the following code. One of the requirements of JSTL was that it not require JSP 2.0 to run. By providing a tag that is capable of displaying EL expressions, this requirement is met. We will now examine a simple example that uses JSTL. For this example, we will examine a common procedure that is done by many Web applications. We will see how to POST a form and process the results from that POST. A simple program that is capable of doing this is shown below. This simple Web page will display a form and ask the user to guess what computer language the program is thinking of. Of course, the computer is thinking of "Java." This page begins by checking to see if a POST was done. This allows both the form, and the code that handles the form, to be placed on one single page. This is done with the following JSTL if statement. Here you can see that the <c:if> tag uses an EL expression to evaluate whether the request method is POST. If data was posted to the page, the value that the user entered for their guess is stored in a parameter named "guess". This is because "guess" was specified as the name of the form input item. We must now check to see whether this parameter is equal to the word "Java". This is done with the following <c:if> tag. As you can see, the body of the <c:if> tag is executed if the statement evaluates to true. In this article, we began to examine the basics of how JSTL is installed and how it works. There is much more to JSTL than the small example we examined in this article. The core tags of JSTL also include tags for looping, iteration, and variable handling. By using these tags, you can iterate through collections, access user session data, and perform other core tasks that all Web applications perform. In addition to the core tag library, the XML, database, and formatting tag libraries are also provided for more advanced uses. This article showed you some of the differences between the JSTL and standard JSP scriptlet programming. As you can see, JSTL allows a more consistent programming environment by allowing both HTML and procedural code to be expressed as tags. JSTL and tag libraries represent a new method of programming Web pages. JSTL does not provide everything that a programmer would need to create a full-featured Web application. Further, some procedures that could be programmed in JSTL is often best not programmed in JSTL. One perfect example of this is the database JSTL tags. Except for very small Web applications, it is generally considered bad programming practice to embed actual database commands into a JSP page. The proper location for such program code is in Java beans and EJBs that will be used by your Web application. For such routines, you may consider creating your own tag libraries. This way, your JSP pages can use JSTL to perform basic programming procedures that are not unique to your business. You should implement your own tag libraries to implement components, which are unique to your business, which will be used by your Web application. JSTL allows you to create a very consistent programming JSP-based application. This is done not just through JSTL, but through a combination of JSTL, your own custom tag libraries, and an underlying database. Understanding each of these components allows you to deploy an effective Web application. Jeff Heaton is the author of the upcoming JSTL: JSP Standard Tag Library (Sams, 2002).

An Introduction to JSP Standard Template Library (JSTL)
August 15, 2002
<title>Count to 10 in JSP scriptlet</title>
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<title>Count to 10 Example (using JSTL)</title>
<c:forEach var="i" begin="1" end="10" step="1">
<c:out value="${i}" />

Installing JSTL
If you are using Windows, the likely location of your lib directory is C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib. There are a number of JAR files included with the JSTL release. You should copy each of these JAR files to the Tomcat JAR directory.
The web-inf directory is likely at this location: C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF. If you examine the JSTL distribution files, you should notice eight files that end with the TLD extension. All eight files should be copied to your web-inf directory.
Finally, you must modify your web.xml, and add an entry for all eight of the tag libraries that you added. This consists of adding <taglib> directives inside the main <web-app> directive. The entries you should add are listed here.
</taglib>The JSTL Tag Libraries
The EL Expression Language
Your total, including shipping is ${total+shipping}
Your total, including shipping is <c:out var="${total+shipping"/>

JSTL Example
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<title>If with Body</title>
<c:if test="${pageContext.request.method=='POST'}">
<c:if test="${param.guess=='Java'}">You guessed it!

<c:if test="${param.guess!='Java'}">You are wrong

<form method="post">Guess what computer language
I am thinking of?
<input type="text" name="guess" />
<input type="submit" value="Try!" />

 <c:if test="${pageContext.request.method=='POST'}">
<c:if test="${param.guess=='Java'}">
You guessed it!

As a guy who loves to grow his own food, I still don't have all the room or time I need to enjoy everything summer's bounty has to offer.
Starting flowers and vegetables from seed is a great activity, especially when you just can't wait any longer to get your hands dirty before spring.
From saving water in the yard to fighting weeds without chemicals, there are many eco-friendly ways to garden.
For many people, the act of gardening satisfies needs well beyond improving the environment and enjoying a personal source of ornamentals, fruits, herbs, and vegetables.
Organic and natural pest control methods are generally less environmentally damaging, and toxic.
Feed the soil, and let the soil feed the plants.
Most home vegetable gardeners I know spend all winter looking forward to the time in spring when they can finally plant their summer vegetable garden.
Not long ago, I learned about one of the most impressive places I've ever seen, as it relates to sustainability in action.
You've heard the expression before; one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Due to the popularity of tropicals and the striking contribution they make to any vista, chances are you too have one or more in your garden, or on your deck or balcony.
Rainwater harvesting is not new. It has been used around the world for thousands of years.
As the well-intentioned users of products meant to promote beautiful landscapes and gardens, we have unwittingly become the abusers.
Thank goodness for community gardens. If it were not for them, some of us wouldn't even have a garden at all.
During summer, especially in southern parts of the country, plants are stressed nearly to their breaking point due to drought, heat, disease and insects.
It has begun; the annual ritual that lasts all too long – fall leaf collection.
There's no denying modern hybridized produce is pretty amazing.
No matter where you live, chances are there's a Community Garden near you.
On rainy days, it's hard to imagine that we're in the midst of a global water crisis.
Do you know the real reason leaves turn red, yellow and orange?
My grandmother would chuckle if she could see the backyard poultry movement--all rebellious and excited like a teenager drag-racing the family car.
Sometimes in our effort to succeed at a task, we make the process of reaching our goals more complicated than it needs to be.
Does "black gold" make you think of "Texas Tea," or that three-letter-word, oil?
For the average home, up to 40% of the water consumed goes to outdoor use such as caring for your landscape. Yet
As winter days become shorter and shorter, I find myself looking for different ways to bring my garden indoors.
Rain is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere," but gardeners and farmers know it is so much more.
For this month's article in our Beginning Gardening Series, I'll be sharing my experience with sowing seeds directly in the garden.
When it comes time for a beginning gardener to choose the right fertilizer to purchase for use with plants, the options can be overwhelming.
The topic of composting, and the best way to compost, is a subject that most gardeners have an opinion on.
Watering your lawn and garden, especially during the hot summer months, can be a full-time job.
If you are a beginning gardener, the sooner you understand the importance of observing your plants daily, the better your chances of heading off problems in your garden before they result in losses.
A water garden, whatever the size or style, can add a soothing quality, delightful sound effects, a sense of whimsy and, on even the hottest days, it can help create the illusion of some coolness.
Would you like your family to eat more healthy vegetables and fruits, but don't want to spend a fortune?
The list of questions builds as you stand in front of the organic gardening section, blankly staring at the increasing choices of bagged and bottled fertilizer.
Spending time in the garden is the perfect way to relieve stress and squeeze in some physical activity. In fact, when I need a pick-me-up, I prescribe myself a healthy dose of weeding!
Looking for ways to save water in your garden?
If there were only one bit of advice I'd give for creating the healthiest garden possible, it would be to put the right plant in the right place.
Do I really feel so strongly? Well, yes and no. In spite of their many faults, I try to find the good in everything, even weeds. And as difficult as it may be to imagine, they do have a place on this earth…really.
I'm sharing this story to bring to light some myths about garden soil.
The natural benefit of rich organic soil will be a reserve of vital nutrients and improved soil quality overall. Whenever you see any information on improving soil, it always stresses the importance of adding organic matter.
As summer appears in our rear view mirror, many of us are more than ready to take off the gardening gloves for a few, well-deserved months off.
It seems everyone's favorite summer vegetable is the tomato.
Although leaves falling in autumn are a predictable event, have you ever stopped to ponder why it happens in the first place?
I should carry around a sign stating "Will Work for Compost" for I do every autumn, and other than my labor, the compost I make is free.
Weeds happen. No garden is without at least a few.
Entire books have been written on the science of making compost, but it isn't as hard as people think. In five easy steps, you can create a good composting area in your backyard.
With summer winding down, we gardeners are caught in a bit of a limbo.
Did you know that according to the EPA, every man, woman and child in America uses about 100 gallons of water each day to do every thing from bathing, cooking, washing our food, clothes and cars, and irrigating our lawns and la...
