Title: Move javascript to bottom of the page

with rails templates, we promote "Best practices" in web development. Hence, we should move all JavaScripts at bottom of the page which is also one of the "Best Practices". It improves performance.

Further, if anyone does not want to follow best practices & move javascript block in head, it can be simply moved back.

More info on why it is important can be found here: http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom
