What caused the language to become popular? Was it the C-like syntax familiar to previous programmers? Did Netscape have enough control of the market to force it to be used? Or is there some deeper reason that JavaScript is popular and other languages are not?

By Peter Henderson
On a frosty December night last year, about two dozen guests slipped into the Alta Club, a century-old private retreat a block away from the temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that dominates Salt Lake City.
Two men, who didn't know each other, were the reason for the dinner: church lobbyist Bill Evans and gay rights leader Rick Jacobs. Evans was a point man for the church's successful effort to pass California's gay marriage ban, known as Prop 8, in 2008. Jacobs, leader of Courage Campaign, produced a 2008 commercial against the ban showing Mormon missionaries ransacking the home of a lesbian couple.
Politics was not on the agenda – just getting to know each other. "The two hit it off," said host Greg Prince, a medical researcher and church member who had come to know both men. He noted that less than a month before the dinner, the church had launched a website with a major change in its view of gays: the site said homosexuality was not a choice.
"There has been a shift of some tectonic plate somewhere," Prince said.
Shifting attitudes among some conservatives and many businesses is altering the landscape around gay marriage, long considered a uniquely liberal and political issue, at one of its most crucial junctures – its review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the court's nine justices will hear arguments on the constitutionality of Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, which excludes gay couples from federal benefits.
Some jurists look to societal changes when interpreting the law, and scholars speculate that Justice Anthony Kennedy, the possible swing vote in the divided court, will be pondering increased public support for gay marriage.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week found 63 percent of Americans supported gay marriage or civil unions.
While the Mormon Church has backed "traditional marriage" in Supreme Court briefs, it has been silent in recent ballot battles and has not promoted fundraising as it has in the past.
Republicans like Senator Rob Portman of Ohio are supporting gay marriage and publicly conflicting with party leaders, such as House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner. Portman this month said he had switched position on the issue after his son told him he was gay.
Corporations, including Goldman Sachs, whose chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein, has campaigned in support of gay marriage, have joined the battle, arguing in briefs to the court that federal policy of not allowing gay marriage is bad for business.
The issue is far from settled, however. Gay marriage opponents have been written off as dinosaurs before, including in California, and most states ban same-sex weddings. But the momentum has been moving towards the proponents of gay marriage.
Money has played a huge part in the pivot, both in terms of the financing of campaigns in favor of gay marriage and the funding of opposition groups.
When the New York State Senate voted to approve gay marriage in 2011, four Republicans joined Democrats. Republicans led by hedge fund manager Paul Singer, whose son is gay, gave the four financial and moral support, and in the 2012 national race, Singer led a political action committee that spent more than $2 million to help pro-gay marriage Republicans.
"You have billionaires telling Republicans 'Vote our way and you'll receive more money than you've ever seen,'" said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, the leader of the movement to stop gay marriage. "That was new."
Pro-gay marriage groups have routed their opponents financially, outraising them three-to-one in November 2012 ballot races that legalized same-sex marriage in three more states, bringing the total to nine states and the District of Columbia.
The single biggest fundraising change between 2008 and 2012 was the disappearance from the political arena of the mightiest foe of gay marriage – the Mormon Church.
While the church has petitioned the Supreme Court in favor of Prop 8, it has focused its public messages about gays on personal issues of respect and love rather than politics.
In the four November 2012 votes – Maine, Maryland, Washington and Minnesota – the top ballot committees raised about $30 million for gay marriage and $10 million against it. The $20 million difference between the two campaigns last year is close to several estimates of what the Mormon Church and its supporters gave to California's Prop 8 in 2008.
More than 800 Utahns gave $2.7 million to support Prop 8 in 2008, state campaign finance records show. In 2012, a total of 16 Utahns gave $1,264 to the main ballot committees against gay marriage.
"The Mormon Church left as a major funder," concluded Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the biggest gay rights group.
Frank Schubert, who ran the 2008 and 2012 anti-gay-marriage campaigns, downplayed the Church hierarchy's silence last year. "Not having a direct statement encouraging people to get involved in the campaign naturally would result in fewer people getting involved in the campaigns, but there were fewer Mormons in these states to begin with, and there was never any expectation that they would be involved."
California Mormon Brooke Crosland, 27, gave $1,000 in 2008 for Prop 8 and made campaign phone calls, but she stayed out of politics in 2012. She described a personal search for understanding, which she saw reflected in the church. "I feel like the ideal for a child is a father and a mother, but I also feel under the law we should have equal rights," she said.
Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, whose portrait of gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk won an Academy Award, was approached for informal talks by Mormon officials after he narrated a documentary critical of the church called "8: The Mormon Proposition." Church officials were surprised to learn that he, a young, gay man, deeply wanted a family. "That was this big 'ah ha' moment," he said.
But Black said the initial invitation came only after the church was pilloried in public. "They didn't contact me after making 'Milk'. They contacted me after making '8: The Mormon Proposition'," said Black, who was raised a Mormon. He since has introduced HRC leader Griffin to church officials, at the December dinner and a concert following, while continuing talks.
Church spokesman Michael Purdy said its hospitality did not signal a change in position. "Being committed to marriage between a man and a woman does not mean that we do not love and care for all of God's children. Having conversations with gay rights leaders, speaking about compassion and respect for all, and inviting people to attend a concert do not equal pulling back from supporting traditional marriage due to negative publicity during Prop 8," he wrote by email.
Meanwhile, gay marriage fans and foes agree that same-sex-union proponents have improved their fundraising. Ted Olson, President George W. Bush's Solicitor General, made it ok for conservatives to support gay marriage when he agreed to take the Prop 8 case, said Margaret Hoover, a pro-gay-marriage Republican activist.
When former Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman in 2010 came out as gay, it was critical mass. "Nightingales don't sing unless they hear another nightingale singing. As soon they hear one, another one sings, and another one sings," said Hoover.
Dozens of Republican leaders, including former California candidate for governor Meg Whitman and former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, have signed a brief to the Supreme Court in favor of gay marriage.
Some 278 businesses, including Goldman Sachs and hotelier Marriott International, whose chairman and major stockholder is Mormon, have signed a similar brief opposing the Defense of Marriage Act. (Thomson Reuters, the parent of Reuters News, is part of that group.)
The person credited by all sides with cementing the victory in California for the gay marriage ban was a little schoolgirl who told her mother she had just been taught, "I can marry a princess!" The girl was in a commercial for Prop 8, and for years Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, has been asked whether he could beat the "Princess" ad.
Wolfson, a fundraising and strategy leader for most recent ballot campaigns in favor of gay marriage, said the answer was chiefly to change his own side's message, rather than chase the opposition. The pro-gay-marriage campaign, which in 2008 had largely focused on appealing to voters to give gays rights because it said they deserved them, took a more personal tone, he said, of affirming the idea of equal rights and respecting loving couples.
That strategy had some unexpected converts.
David Blankenhorn, founder of the family-focused Institute for American Values think tank, was the prime witness in 2010 in the opening round of the federal trial of Prop. 8. Blankenhorn struck up unlikely friendships with gays while debating the issue in public, and he was sitting at his desk one day last year, when one called and told him to go to a website with a strident, anti-gay article.
"He said, 'Are you sure that this is the side you are on?'" Blankenhorn recalled. He put down the phone, and in that moment realized he had already changed his mind.
"I have a kind of intellectual reason for shifting from one foot to the other foot," he said "But I really, honestly think that it was through just personal interactions… if you want to stick with your position, don't get to know people who disagree with you."
Gay marriage foe Brown says he is not worried by polls that show gay marriage support snowballing. It's all about how you ask the question, he said, and a majority of voters do not want to redefine marriage. His side has always been behind in the money battle, he added, but has had some banner successes.
Politicians can see the danger of switching sides, he said. Of the four New York State Senate Republicans who voted for same-sex marriage, only one returned to office, despite financial backing from sources as diverse as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) union, Wall Street Republicans, and libertarian David Koch.
Back in California, Rick Jacobs, the Courage Campaign chief, thinks Prop 8 was the best thing that ever happened to his movement. People sat up and started paying attention when liberal California overturned its own state Supreme Court and took away the right to marry, he said, and the court fight has kept the issue alive.
"It not only galvanized a lot of people who didn't really care about it before that – gay people – but it also galvanized straight people," he said. "People said, 'wait a minute, we don't like voting on people's rights.'"
The night in Salt Lake City left little doubt things had changed since 2008. After the dinner, the gay rights leaders all headed over to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas spectacular. It was the hottest ticket in town and, as guests of the church, they had VIP seats.

TULSA, Okla. – Tulane football player Devon Walker's fractured spine was stabilized in a three-hour surgery Sunday, though it's too soon to tell whether he will be paralyzed from the injury he suffered while making a tackle, the team's doctor said.
Dr. Greg Stewart, Tulane University's director of sports medicine, said Walker was in stable condition and was expected to stay in the intensive care until of St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa for the next few days.
"These kind of injuries take 24, 48, sometimes 72 hours to fully declare themselves," Stewart said before the surgery. "We don't know what the long-term implications and outcomes are going to be."
Stewart said he was with Walker on the field, in the ambulance and at the hospital on Saturday. He said Walker was put into a cervical collar and couldn't see much of what was happening, so Stewart explained what was going on. Walker was talking with doctors as he was being treated, Stewart said.
Walker's parents had traveled to Oklahoma to be with their son, and they were "doing as well as can be expected," Stewart said.
"They're like the rest of us — hopeful and prayerful."
Stewart was back in New Orleans on Sunday, as were Walker's teammates. He said Tulane's athletic director and the football team's trainer remained in Oklahoma with Walker.
Walker's injury occurred on the final play of the first half, hours after Tulane opened the Conference USA portion of its schedule against Tulsa. Tulsa was leading 35-3 and facing a fourth-and-2 with the ball at the 33-yard line on Saturday when the Golden Hurricane called timeout. Tulane then called timeout.
When play resumed, Tulsa quarterback Cody Green tossed a short pass to Willie Carter, who caught it at about the 28, and turned upfield. He was tackled around the 17-yard line, with defensive tackle Julius Warmsley and Walker sandwiching him and apparently smashing their helmets together.
Medical personnel from both teams tended to Walker as he lay on the field. FOX Sports reported a hush went over the crowd at H.A. Chapman Stadium as Walker was attended to, and that several coaches were in tears as he was taken away in an ambulance. Spectators bowed their heads as someone on the field led the stadium in prayer.
Dr. Buddy Savoie said during a postgame news conference that Walker never completely lost consciousness and was breathing on his own.
"He was stable when we transported him," Savoie said. "I do not think, based on the information we have, his life was ever in danger."
Walker is a senior majoring in cell and molecular biology. His brother, Raynard, told The Associated Press on Saturday that their mother was watching the game on television when her son was injured.
Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said after the 45-10 loss that while Walker was on the field, Johnson told Walker that he was praying for him and that help was on the way.
He said the mood among players was somber and called the day his most difficult ever.
"It was tremendous that they finished the game, as I thought about just saying 'Hey look, let's not do anything else. Let's just get on the road and go.'"
Associated Press writer Emily Wagster Pettus contributed to this report from Jackson, Miss.

When Michael Bacon, a buyer for a large online shoe retailer, isn't pitching deals, he pitches equality. His best prop? The HeForShe logo on his computer.
One day, Michael was making a sales presentation when someone saw the HeForShe wallpaper on his desktop and asked what it meant. The question opened the door for Michael to explain the movement and discuss why gender equality is important to him. Caught off-guard, one co-worker asked, "I thought you had to be a woman to be a feminist."
I hate to break it to you, but it sounds like you're a feminist, too.
Michael explained that the "F" word isn't bad, it simply means you support gender equality. He then asked, "Do you believe in gender equality?" When the co-worker replied that he did, Michael replied, "I hate to break it to you, but it sounds like you're a feminist, too."
With this smart, simple conversation starter, Michael doesn't find the topic of gender equality a tough sell. "Having the HeForShe logo on my computer has given me multiple opportunities to talk about my beliefs at the workplace in a non-evasive way," he says. After a quick explanation of the movement and why he supports it, Michael invites his conversation partners, mostly men, to visit the HeForShe website if they'd like to learn more.
Michael learned about HeForShe through an article about Emma Watson's speech in September, 2014. "Her speech resonated with me and I wanted to learn more," he says. "I've always had the belief that all people should be treated fairly and with respect, regardless of race or gender. It was just common sense. The HeForShe campaign, however, reminded me that the way I feel isn't the norm and that not expressing my belief was a form of silent acceptance."

"Rie Warren has once again proven why she is one of my favorite authors! Why Him? had me fanning myself with the first page and hooked from the first word." ~Goodreads reviewer
"I absolutely inhaled this book. I love a good story along with the heat and this book owned it. First-what an introduction!! From the very first page you just know, holy hell this is going to be hot...and then you are continually assured of this all the way through the first THREE chapters." ~Goodreads reviewer
On my knees in front of Jude, I sucked his cock. I greedily serviced him. I loved it. His smell. His taste. The long thick stretch of his dick plunging in and out of my mouth.
It was seedy. Vulgar. Dirty. All the things I'd never been before, and it was . . . liberating.
I let my saliva swill all over his huge cock because I knew he liked it sloppy. But that was as far as my concessions went. This was my time.
"You look so hot, there on your knees, your face stuffed full of my cock." His coarse words drifted down to me, and his hands—such big hands—cradled the sides of my head.
I moaned at his crude praise, but I wanted to make him unable to speak altogether. Unable to think of anything but coming down my throat.
Pulling off him, I let his cock snap up to his incredible abs. Then I licked all around the thick base, mouthing him, kissing him where his male scent was the strongest. His tight black curls tickled my nose, and I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply.
My hands caressed along his deep pelvic grooves then across to the rod of his flesh I anchored down so I could continue my wet kisses all over the thick slick shaft. When I reached the purplish cap, I hummed as I lapped another drop of preejaculate onto my thirsty tongue. Then I drove my head up and down, just slightly, taking more of his cock inside with each pass.
Jude's body was phenomenal, the only blemish on his huge frame a long scar on one knee. I'd never had my hands on so many big smooth muscles. And the slight mat of black fur on his chest . . . well, there was just no way I'd ever mistake him for a boy again.
Jude was a man, all man.
And the most magnificent part of him? His cock. The thick cylinder of flesh was hefty, heavy, covered in a network of veins that pulsed angrily the more I sucked him. The broad head seeped more precum than I'd ever encountered, a tasty snack.
I giggled wetly, popping him out of my mouth.
"Somethin' funny?"
I loved how he started drawling when he was extremely turned on. Loved how his beautiful blue eyes flashed darkly. Loved how his face became harsh in the low evening light of the room.
He levered his cock away from my mouth, but that was okay, I'd just go after his balls.
Which I did, pursing my lips around one meaty testicle while mumbling, "Nothing funny at all. I love your cock. Love your taste. Love your smell, Jude."
A breath hissed between his teeth as I worshipped his full sac. The two orbs were heavy, virile with cum. I gave him a lustful wet ball bath, my head wedged between his brawny thighs. I stroked him at the same time, twisting my palm over the slick head every so often. That always made him flinch and twist and groan my name. What he thought was my name anyway. And at those times I wished I'd told him the truth just so I could hear his dirty praise directed at me, Cady.
"Goddammit, Catherine. Gotta fuck your face now. Lemme fuck your face." His words swirled together in a rough combination.
I grew even hotter, slicker between my thighs, and my drool dribbled down to my swaying breasts.
I looked up at him and nodded.
If you believe in second chances . . .
All I did was dance with her at a bar. Just once.
Then this undeniably gorgeous party girl, Stevie, turns up at my house, the contractor in charge of my remodel.
How am I supposed to take her seriously?
The problem is she's excellent at her job, which aggravates me even more.
She's changing my house, changing my life, and my animal urge to protect and possess her feels like a betrayal to my deceased wife.

Porter Brothers, book 1
The Porter Brother's were raised to live and die by Three Rules
One, a Porter stands his ground
Two, a Porter leaves no enemy standing
Sutton Creech was a cheat and a liar. Tate Porter had found that out when he was eighteen, and he had no intention of letting her make a fool out of him again. He didn't care how much pain he saw in her eyes or how old memories tugged at his unforgiving heart until, the night a hidden secret is revealed and everything Tate had believed about their past is shattered, proving he had let the woman he loved get away.
Between trying to protect his family and running their pot growing business, Tate doesn't have time to play the "Nice Guy". He'd just have to remember the most important rule his father had given them: A Porter always keeps what's his.
{ about jamie begley } .
"I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.
Taking after my mother, I've always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.
For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.
Currently I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room, Predators MC, Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls.
All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best."
{ excerpt } .
"She's not had an easy time since she's been gone." Rachel's soft voice didn't rouse his sympathy.The soothing warmth he was receiving from his sister's hand on his arm didn't dispel the churning anger in his stomach, and Tate refused to talk about Sutton any longer.
Rachel sighed. "Your temper is going to be your downfall, Tate. Greer may be a hothead, but he gets over it fast. You hold a grudge forever."
"Yes, I do." He and Cash had a contentious past over women, but the only one Cash had succeeded in angering him over was Sutton.
"You're an asshole. I never touched Sutton, but you're not going to change your mind despite me telling you the truth. Ask me about any woman in town, and I'll tell you the truth; why would I lie about her?"
"Maybe because your wife is sitting right here," Tate replied sarcastically.
"I've never denied my past to Rachel," Cash snapped back.
"Then it's because you knew I cared about her."
Cash snorted. "You didn't care about Sutton. You let her go easily enough. If you were as into her as you're acting, you would have whipped my ass over her. Greer tried to give me a beating over that slut Diane. You just asked Lisa to the prom, instead. You were just tired of having blue balls, and it gave you the excuse to do what you wanted to do all along."
"Which was what?" Tate snarled.
"Breakup with Sutton and fuck Lisa."
Tate stood, his chair scrapping back. "I've gotta go before I knock the shit out of you. I can't afford to do any jail time right now. Bye, Rach."
He ignored his sister trying to call him back. He didn't bother paying his bill, either, knowing Cash would take care of it. The son of a bitch deserved to pay his tab.

Speaking of God in Our Time
Speaking of God in Our Time
Pope Benedict XVI
At the General Audience the Pope recalls that faith should be communicated through words and example
"How can we talk about God in our time?" This was the Holy Father's topic at the General Audience on Wednesday, 28 November [2012], in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. The following is a translation of the Pope's Catechesis, which was given in Italian.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The important question we ask ourselves today is: how can we talk about God in our time? How can we communicate the Gospel so as to open roads to his saving truth in our contemporaries' hearts — that are all too often closed — and minds — that are at times distracted by the many dazzling lights of society? Jesus, the Evangelists tell us, asked himself about this as he proclaimed the kingdom of God: "With what can we compare the Kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?" (Mk 4:30).
How can we talk about God today? The first answer is that we can talk about God because he has talked to us; so the first condition for speaking of God is listening to all that God himself has said. God has spoken to us! God is therefore not a distant hypothesis concerning the world's origin; he is not a mathematical intelligence far from us. God takes an interest in us, he loves us, he has entered personally into the reality of our history, he has communicated himself, even to the point of taking flesh. Thus God is a reality of our life, he is so great that he has time for us too, he takes an interest in us. In Jesus of Nazareth we encounter the face of God, who came down from his heaven to immerse himself in the human world, in our world, and to teach "the art of living", the road to happiness; to set us free from sin and make us children of God (cf. Eph 1:5; Rom 8:14). Jesus came to save us and to show us the good life of the Gospel.
Talking about God means first of all expressing clearly what God we must bring to the men and women of our time: not an abstract God, a hypothesis, but a real God, a God who exists, who has entered history and is present in history; the God of Jesus Christ as an answer to the fundamental question of the meaning of life and of how we should live. Consequently speaking of God demands familiarity with Jesus and his Gospel, it implies that we have a real, personal knowledge of God and a strong passion for his plan of salvation without succumbing to the temptation of success, but following God's own method. God's method is that of humility — God makes himself one of us — his method is brought about through the Incarnation in the simple house of Nazareth; through the Grotto of Bethlehem; through the Parable of the Mustard Seed.
We must not fear the humility of taking little steps, but trust in the leaven that penetrates the dough and slowly causes it to rise (cf. Mt 13:33). In talking about God, in the work of evangelization, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we must recover simplicity, we must return to the essence of the proclamation: the Good News of a God who is real and effective, a God who is concerned about us, a God-Love who makes himself close to us in Jesus Christ, until the Cross, and who in the Resurrection gives us hope and opens us to a life that has no end, eternal life, true life. St Paul, that exceptional communicator, gives us a lesson that goes straight to the heart of the problem of faith: "how to speak of God" with great simplicity.
In his First Letter to the Corinthians he writes: "When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (2:1-2).
The first real fact, therefore, is that Paul does not speak of a philosophy that he developed, he does not speak of ideas that he found elsewhere or invented, but of a reality of his life, he speaks of the God who entered his life, he speaks of a real God who is alive, who spoke with him and will speak with us, he speaks of the Crucified and Risen Christ.
The second real fact is that Paul does not seek himself, he does not want to make a fan club for himself, he does not wish to go down in history as the head of a school of great knowledge, he is not self-seeking; rather, St Paul proclaims Christ and wants to gain people for the true and real God. Paul's wish is to speak of and preach the One who entered his life and who is true life, who won him over on the road to Damascus. Therefore, talking about God means making room for the One who enables us to know him, who reveals his face of love to us; it means emptying ourselves of our own ego, offering it to Christ, in the awareness that it is not we who can win over others for God, but that we must expect God to send them, we must entreat God for them. Talking about God therefore stems from listening, from our knowledge of God which is brought about through familiarity with him, through the life of prayer and in accordance with the Commandments.
Communicating faith, for St Paul, did not mean putting himself forward, but rather saying openly and publicly what he had seen and heard in his encounter with Christ, what he had experienced in his life that was transformed by that encounter: it meant putting forward Jesus whom he felt present within him and who became the true orientation of his existence, to make it clear to all that Jesus is necessary to the world and crucial to every person's freedom. The Apostle is not satisfied with proclaiming words but expends his whole life in the great work of faith. To speak of God, we must leave him room, trusting that he will act in our weakness: we must make room for him without fear but with simplicity and joy, in the deep conviction that the more we put him at the centre rather than ourselves, the more fruitful our communication will be. And this is also true for Christian communities: they are called to show the transforming action of God's grace, by overcoming individualism, closure, selfishness, indifference, by living out God's love in their daily relations. Let us ask ourselves whether our communities really are like this. To be so, we must, always and truly proclaim Christ and not ourselves.
At this point we should ask ourselves: how did Jesus communicate? Jesus, in his oneness, speaks of his Father — Abba — and of the Kingdom of God, his gaze full of compassion for the hardships and difficulties of human life. He speaks with great realism and, I would say, that the essential feature of Jesus' proclamation is that it makes clear that our life and the world are worthy of God. Jesus shows that in the world and in Creation God's face shines out and he shows us that God is present in the daily events of our life. Both in the parables on nature, the mustard seed and the field with various seeds, and in our own life — let us think of the parable of the Prodigal Son, of Lazarus and of other parables of Jesus. From the Gospels we see that Jesus takes an interest in every human situation that he encounters, he immerses himself in the reality of the men and women of his time, with complete trust in the Father's help. And that in this history, although hidden, God is really present and if we are attentive we can encounter him. And the disciples, who live with Jesus, the crowds who meet him, see his reaction to the most disparate problems, they see how he speaks, how he behaves; in him they see the action of the Holy Spirit, the action of God. In him proclamation and life are interwoven: Jesus acts and teaches, always starting from a close relationship with God the Father. This style becomes an essential indication for us as Christians: our way of living in faith and charity becomes a way of speaking of God today, because it shows, through a life lived in Christ, the credibility and realism of what we say with words, which are not solely words but reveal the reality, the true reality. And in this we must take care to perceive the signs of the times in our epoch, namely, to identify the potentials, aspirations and obstacles we encounter in today's culture and in particular the wish for authenticity, the yearning for transcendence, and concern to safeguard Creation and to communicate fearlessly the response that faith in God offers.
The Year of Faith is an opportunity for us to discover, our imaginations fired by the Holy Spirit, new paths to take on a personal and community level so that the power of the Gospel may become wisdom of life and an orientation for existence everywhere.
In our time too, the family, the first school for communicating the faith to the new generations, is a privileged place in which to talk about God. The Second Vatican Council speaks of parents as the first messengers of God (cf. Dogmatic Constitution, Decree Lumen Gentium, n. 11; Apostolicam Actuositatem, n. 11). Parents are called to rediscover their mission, assuming responsibility in educating, in opening the consciences of their little ones to love of God as a fundamental service to their life and in being the first catechists and teachers of the faith for their children. And in this task watchfulness is of the utmost importance. It means being able to take favourable opportunities to introduce the topic of faith in the family and to develop a critical reflection with regard to the many forms of conditioning to which children are subjected.
The parents' attention includes their sensitivity in perceiving the possible religious questions latent in their children's minds, at times obvious but at other times hidden. Then, joy: the communication of faith must always have joyful tones. It is the Easter joy that does not stay silent or conceal the realities of pain, of suffering, of effort, of difficulty, of incomprehension and of death itself, but that can offer criteria for interpreting all things in the perspective of Christian hope. The good life of the Gospel is precisely this new perception, this capacity to see God with one's own eyes in every situation. It is important to help all the members of the family understand that faith is not a burden but a source of profound joy, that it is perceiving God's action, recognizing the presence of goodness that does not make a sound; and it offers precious guidance for living life well. Lastly, the capacity for listening and for dialogue: the family must be a milieu in which we learn to be together, to settle disagreements in conversation with each other, which consists in listening and speaking, in mutual understanding and love, so as to be a sign for each other of God's merciful love.
So it is that talking about God means making people realize through our speech and example, that God is no rival in our existence but rather is its true guarantor, who guarantees the greatness of the human person. Thus we return to the beginning: speaking of God is communicating what is essential, forcefully and simply, through our words and through our life: the God of Jesus Christ, that God who showed us a love so great that he took flesh, died and rose again for us: that God who asks us to follow him and to let ourselves be transformed by his immense love in order to renew our life and our relationships; that God who has given us the Church, so that we may walk together and, through the word and the sacraments, renew the entire city of men and women, so that it may become a City of God.

"Would you like a doggy bag to take home?" asks the waiter. "That would be great" says the diner. Nearly half of her dinner remains on the plate and will make a quick second meal for another day.
But wait. Here's the same diner calling the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat and Poultry Hotline the following day. "I put a restaurant doggy bag in the back seat of my car last night, and when I came out to drive to work, there it sat. Is it safe if I heat it up again?"
Sadly, no. The food safety expert at USDA explains that bacteria in food left out for more than two hours double in number every 20 minutes, and some bacteria make a poison or toxin that can make you ill, hence the term "food poisoning."
Even if you were able to heat the food and destroy the thousands of bacteria present in the backseat doggy bag, the toxin can make you ill. It's a lose-lose proposition. Toss that "puppy" out!
Handling Leftovers Safely
How could the doggy-bag owner handle the bonus meal safely? First of all, take the restaurant leftovers straight home – no running errands or visiting friends. Within 2 hours of being served, the leftovers should be safely tucked away at home in the refrigerator where they can safely remain for three to four days.
Leaving food out at an unsafe temperature is one of the main causes of foodborne illness. Safe handling of leftovers is very important to reducing foodborne illness. Follow these USDA recommendations for handling leftovers safely – whether from a restaurant or home cooked.
– Bacteria grow rapidly between the temperatures of 40° F and 140° F. After food is safely cooked, leftovers must be refrigerated within two hours.
– Throw away any hot or cold leftovers that have been left out for more than two hours at room temperature (one hour when the temperature is above 90 °F, such as at an outdoor event).
– To prevent bacterial growth, it's important to cool hot food rapidly to the safe refrigerator-storage temperature of 40° F. To do this, divide large amounts of food into shallow containers. A big pot of soup, for example, will take a long time to cool, inviting bacteria to multiply and increasing the danger of foodborne illness.
– Cut large items of food into smaller portions to cool. For whole roasts, turkey or hams, slice or cut them into smaller parts.
– Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator, or it can be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating.
– Cover leftovers, wrap them in airtight packaging, or seal them in storage containers. These practices help keep bacteria out, retain moisture, and prevent leftovers from picking up odors from other food in the refrigerator. Immediately refrigerate or freeze the wrapped leftovers for rapid cooling.
Reheating Safely Stored Leftovers
– Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days or frozen for three to four months. Although safe indefinitely, frozen leftovers can lose moisture and flavor when stored for longer times in the freezer.
– When reheating leftovers, be sure they reach 165° F. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food. Reheat sauces, soups and gravies by bringing them to a rolling boil. Cover leftovers to reheat. This retains moisture and ensures that food will heat all the way through.
– Thaw frozen leftovers safely in the refrigerator, cold water or the microwave oven. When thawing leftovers in a microwave, continue to heat it until it reaches 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer.
– Any leftover "leftovers" thawed by the cold water method or in the microwave should be reheated to 165 °F before refreezing.
– http://www.fsis.usda.gov/food_safety_education/ask_karen/In a real hurry? It is safe to reheat frozen leftovers without thawing, either in a saucepan or microwave (in the case of a soup or stew) or in the oven or microwave (for example, casseroles and combination meals). Reheating will take longer than if the food is thawed first, but it is safe to do when time is short.
If you have any questions about turkeys and Thanksgiving, feel free to contact us at the Hotline (1-888-674-6854 toll-free) or online at AskKaren.gov.

A homeless person in NYC |
They ride subways all night, or they sleep on the sidewalks. Sometimes they find a sheltered spot in one of the city parks. During the day they try to keep out of sight.
But at night they drift into train and bus stations, and even the airports. Sometimes you'll see them answering the voices they're hearing in their heads. They know that passersby don't like that, so they try to stay quiet. They have learned that it's safer to stay quiet.
What America thinks about homelessness is often what America thinks about failure -- it's unsightly, it's smelly, it's unpatriotic, it's worthless. You should avert your gaze from it quickly in case it infects you.
The homeless themselves instinctively know that most people think this. They know they're an affront to the story the country tells of itself.
They know their condition puts them at terrible personal risk, because they're a visible reminder of how badly things can go wrong, and they're resented for it, and they can also make handy scapegoats when things do go wrong.
If financial success is how America gauges a persons personal worth -- and it is -- then America's homeless population exists at the wrong end of the spectrum. They are, they know better than anyone, the total disavowal of the American Dream, the people with the least worth, the losers.
When I first came to this country I was puzzled by the unusually high levels of contempt I often saw American men (it has always been men) express for homeless people here. There was a finality in their tone that I found very unsettling. A line was being drawn.
These people were write offs, basket cases, a drain on the system I was told. They'd be better off dead.
It's only one short subway stop from that dehumanizing rhetoric to its lethal conclusion. When I realized that it gave me the chills.
More than once I have witnessed American men on their way to or from work loudly berate homeless people on the street for their all-too-apparent laziness, as though their condition could not possibly have another contributing factor.
For the angry passer by there was no need to belabor the issue at all. These homeless people have simply decided not to count, I was told.
And if you don't count in America there's no need to wonder about you any further. Less successful implies you're less deserving, and if you're less deserving that implies you're less valuable.
That's why if you live in New York City, or any big American city, you have almost certainly seen this scene play out -- a homeless man is sitting in a subway car, or in a park, or under a ledge somewhere, taking shelter. He's talking to himself or more likely sleeping. Along comes a working man in a raincoat who takes offense at his presence.
"Hey buddy, why don't you get yourself a job? Ha? Hey buddy?"
Because you're commuting or because it takes you a minute to pass them both on the street you're forced to witness the confrontation.
What will happen next? Well increasingly, statistics say, homeless people here are being attacked. Homeless means failure and failure means worthless.
Young people in particular have gotten the message. They been paying attention to this social cue – that's why young people are the most dangerous attackers of the homeless now, statistics show.
It's estimated that at least one-third of the nation's homeless population have a serious mental illness, usually schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (approximately 250,000 people with serious mental illnesses are homeless in the U.S.).
We know for certain that there are many more people with untreated and severe psychiatric illnesses living on America's streets than receiving care in the nation's hospitals. Prisons have become the main psychiatric wards.
They say a nation's greatness resides in the way it treats the least of its citizens. By that yardstick America's glory days are still firmly ahead of it.
To the outside world America can look like the biggest squabble over a bill the world has ever seen. With all the jostling and the name calling and the outrage a central fact is easily lost -- what prompted the squabble in the first place.
Whether it's health care, or taxes, or gun control, or mental illness or our gridlocked politics, in America everything always comes down to the bill.
Issues like homelessness and mental health bring up, consciously and subconsciously, issues of worth, issues of success and failure here. And America, I have discovered, has a near pathological aversion to any idea of failure.
That's why I don't hold out much hope for the level of political debate that will follow in the wake of the Newtown massacre on Friday.
It's not the kind of story the nation is interested in. It gives the lie to the story the country tells of itself, and it's putting us all at terrible risk.

Overview and History of Testosterone Suspension
Testosterone Suspension is an injectable preparation of pure, un-modified and un-esterified Testosterone, almost always suspended in a water base within microcrystals (hence the name Testosterone Suspension). Within the bodybuilding and athletic world, Testosterone Suspension is regarded as the most potent and strongest form of injectable Testosterone available, and it is known for producing some of the most rapid mass, strength, and physique changes out of all injectable preparations of Testosterone. This is for several reasons. The first reason is because this is the purest form of Testosterone, unmodified and unesterified, meaning it is instantly active the minute it is injected into the body. Also, because there is no added ester bonded to the Testosterone molecule, there is more total Testosterone per mg of Testosterone Suspension, making it a far more potent product. Because ester weights must be factored into the total weight of the substance, esterified formats of Testosterone (or any hormone) such as Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Enanthate, and Testosterone Cypionate do not all yield 100mg of Testosterone in 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate, for example. Once the body cleaves off the ester that is bound to the molecule, the weight of the ester is removed, and so for example, in 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate, there is in reality approximately 70mg of Testosterone. 100mg of Testosterone Suspension, however, yields exactly 100mg of Testosterone. Because esterified variants of Testosterone have longer half-lives and require their esters to be removed (before releasing pure Testosterone), optimal peak blood plasma levels are achieved often in weeks of use. This is not the case with Testosterone Suspension, where optimal peak blood plasma levels are achieved in a matter of hours instead.
For example, it takes approximately 4 or 5 weeks (some users even report as late as 6 weeks) of use of the longer Testosterone esters, such as Testosterone Enanthate and Cypionate, before mass and strength gains are experienced. With Testosterone Suspension, gains are normally experienced within the first week of use, and by 4 weeks into a Testosterone Suspension cycle, the bulk of the gains will usually have been achieved (meanwhile by this same time period, the longer acting formats of Testosterone will only just have begun taking effect).
Testosterone Suspension is perhaps the oldest anabolic steroid preparation, first isolated and synthesized in the early 1930s by German scientists. It is the very first preparation of Testosterone to ever be created for use, and pre-dates the slower acting esterified variants of Testosterone by a matter of several years. Testosterone Propionate was developed towards the mid-1930s, and Testosterone Enanthate was available in the 1950s, but Testosterone Suspension still remained popular during this period of time even though it was widely regarded as a much more crude form of Testosterone that was inconvenient and uncomfortable to inject due to the painful injections, and the very short half-life that necessitated very frequent injections. By comparison, Testosterone Propionate required injections every other day to every four days, and Testosterone Enanthate required injections to be administered once or twice per week. Testosterone Suspension requires atleast daily injections, if not multiple times per day. Testosterone Suspension is the longest lasting Testosterone product on the prescription market, both in the USA and abroad and can be found under many American trade and brand names, such as Sterotate by Ulmer, Andronaq by Central, Aquasuspension Testosterone by Pitman-Moore, Injectable Aqueous Testosterone by Arlongton-Funk, Virosterone by Endo, and Testosterone Aqueous by National Drug Company. Testosterone Suspension is perhaps so widely available and manufactured in such numerous quantities and brands that there are countless amounts of brand names as well as generics.
Clinical and medical application of Testosterone Susp was, of course, identical to that of all other Testosterone products. This included treatment of the following conditions: treatment for low libido (lack of sex drive), male impotence, hypogonadism and andropause (insufficient Testosterone production in males), the treatment of delayed-onset puberty in adolescent males, and even in females for the treatment of breast cancer as well as a few other conditions. Towards the late 1980s and 1990, the FDA, as it had done with all other anabolic steroids, amended the list of approved treatments by shortening it. Testosterone Suspension was then determined as a drug to focus almost exclusively on the treatment of hypogonadism and andropause, but is still today also reserved as a last resort therapy for the treatment of female breast cancer (though this is very rare considering the high incidence of virilization that Testosterone causes in females).
Testosterone Suspension was in fact utilized quite extensively up until 1998 on the American prescription market. In 1998, Testosterone Suspension was primarily manufactured by Steris Laboratories in the United States, making it one of the last companies to manufacture the drug for medical use. Because of a small issue in regards to the dispensing of Schedule III drugs at the time, the FDA was forced to cause Steris to suspend production of all Schedule III drugs (including Testosterone Suspension) due to discrepancies in their inventory reports. It was not until several years down the line that Steris had the opportunity to pick up the manufacture of Testosterone Suspension once again, but they decided against it. Because of this, pharmaceutical grade Testosterone Susp is today available on the US prescription market only via private compounding pharmacies, making the drug a special-order item that can be difficult to acquire. It is also still widely available as a veterinary medicine.
Because of the wide variation and selection of Testosterone Suspension throughout the world, the doses and concentrations it is available in varies greatly, with some products containing 100mg/ml or 50mg/ml (very common). Testosterone Suspension can be found contained in either 1ml ampoules or 10ml multidose vials.
Chemical Characteristics of Testosterone Suspension
Testosterone Suspension is an injectable Testosterone product that contains free, pure, unmodified Testosterone in microcrystalline format that is suspended in a water base. Because there is no ester bond on the Testosterone molecule in this case, its half-life is greatly reduced compared to other injectable formats of Testosterone, making its half-life a matter of 2 – 4 hours (with some studies stating as high as 24 – 39 hours). Once again, as stated earlier, it is important to understand that because Testosterone Suspension does not contain an carboxylic acid esterified to it, an individual using it is receiving far more Testosterone per mg of injection than with any other form of Testosterone. 100mg of Testosterone Suspension yields 100mg of Testosterone. By comparison, 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate yields only 70mg of Testosterone (after the Enanthate ester has been removed by enzymes in the body, leaving free Testosterone).
Properties of Testosterone Suspension
Testosterone has always been known to promote large amounts of nitrogen retention in muscle tissue, with studies indicating significant increases in fat-free mass and muscle size as a result. Testosterone is also well-known for its ability to significantly increase levels of IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) in muscle tissue, which further contributes to significant increases in muscle size and strength. A study on Testosterone's action within muscle tissue indicated that this primarily occurs through its ability to activate satellite cells in muscle tissue, which is very important in the role of repairing damaged muscle fibers. That same study also indicated that Testosterone exhibits the ability to inhibit adipogenesis (the storage of fat) as well as the ability to increase the size of motor neurons. Testosterone has been found to achieve its muscle growth and strength-promoting effects primarily through the interaction with the androgen receptor located in muscle cells as one of its primary mechanisms. Androgens such as Testosterone also increase red blood cell count via a stimulation of the increase of Erythropoietin in the kidneys, resulting in better oxygen transport throughout the body, thus increasing the endurance capabilities of the athlete.
Testosterone in general is regarded as one of the best mass-adding and bulking agents. Those who wish to bulk up will experience more rapid results with the use of Testosterone Suspension than with any other form of Testosterone. It has also been found that there is a relationship between the dose used and the amount of muscle growth whereby the higher the dose, the greater the growth experienced. Testosterone is what would be considered as the original anabolic steroid, manufactured naturally and endogenously within all humans and in most animal species. Testosterone Suspension can be utilized for any particular goal, as Testosterone is the most versatile anabolic steroid.

Accommodation options when going to Prague
Numbers of people from Europe but as well as from overseas come to visit Prague and see the historical center which several Hollywood filmmakers already chose as a location for their pieces. Prague has a unique atmosphere which gets to you. It is however also a modern metropolis with international background. All this draws attentions of tourists which is why Prague is so rich in accommodation facilities. There are numbers of hotels, praga appartamenti, pensions and hostels. Many of them can be booked online from you own country before you hit the road. If you decide upon appartamento a praga, you can get either one in the very center or one in more quiet neighborhoods. Just search for the right appartamento praga on the internet and book it or you may find an unwanted surprise upon your arrival that the best places are already booked up.

The virus that causes cervical, head and neck, anal and other cancers can damage chromosomes and genes where it inserts its DNA into human DNA, according to a new study led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC — James).
It's long been known that cancer-causing types of human papillomavirus (HPV) produce two viral proteins, called E6 and E7, which are essential for the development of cancer. However, they are not sufficient to cause cancer. Additional alterations in host-cell genes are necessary for cancer to develop. Here, scientists identified a new mechanism by which HPV may damage host DNA directly and contribute to cancer development.
Published in the journal Genome Research, this laboratory study used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the relationship between the HPV and host genomes in human cancers.
"Our sequencing data showed in vivid detail that HPV can damage host-cell genes and chromosomes at sites of viral insertion," says co-senior author David Symer, MD, PhD, assistant professor of molecular virology, immunology and medical genetics at the OSUCCC — James.
"HPV can act like a tornado hitting the genome, disrupting and rearranging nearby host-cell genes," Symer explains. "This can lead to overexpression of cancer-causing genes in some cases, or it can disrupt protective tumor-suppressor genes in others. Both kinds of damage likely promote the development of cancer."
"We observed fragments of the host-cell genome to be removed, rearranged or increased in number at sites of HPV insertion into the genome," says co-senior author Maura Gillison, MD, PhD, professor of medicine, epidemiology and otolaryngology and the Jeg Coughlin Chair of Cancer Research at the OSUCCC — James. "These remarkable changes in host genes were accompanied by increases in the number of HPV copies in the host cell, thereby also increasing the expression of viral E6 and E7, the cancer-promoting genes."
HPV causes about 610,000 cancers annually worldwide, including virtually all cervical cancers, and many anogenital and head and neck cancers. How it causes cancer isn't completely understood.
The two cancer-causing proteins, E6 and E7, silence two key tumor-suppressor genes in host cells, contributing to cancer development. "E6 and E7 are critically important for the virus to cause cancer. Our findings shed light on how HPV, and perhaps other viruses, can disrupt the structure of host chromosomes and genes and thereby contribute to cancer development," Gillison explains.
For this study, Symer, Gillison and their colleagues examined 10 cancer-cell lines and two head and neck tumor samples from patients. Along with whole-genome sequencing, the scientists used several molecular assays, including RNA sequencing, spectral karyotyping (SKY) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
Key technical findings included:
The genome-wide analysis, at single nucleotide resolution, identified a striking and recurrent association between HPV integrants and adjacent genomic amplifications, deletions and translocations;
The HPV integrants mapped broadly across the human genome, with no evidence of recurrent integration into particular chromosomal hotspots;
The researchers proposed a "looping" model by which abnormal viral replication results in the extraordinary damage that occurs to host chromosomes at the sites of viral DNA insertion.
"Our study reveals new and interesting information about what happens to HPV in the 'end game' in cancers," Symer says. "Overall, our results shed new light on the potentially critical, catastrophic steps in the progression from initial viral infection to development of an HPV-associated cancer."

Some physicists are convinced that time travel is possible. A group of scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have simulated how time-travelling photons might behave; suggesting that, at the quantum level, the grandfather paradox – which makes time travel impossible – could be resolved. The study used photons – single particles of light – to simulate quantum particles travelling back through time. By studying their behavior, the scientists revealed possible strange aspects of modern physics.
"The properties of quantum particles are 'fuzzy' or uncertain to start with, so this gives them enough wiggle room to avoid inconsistent time travel situations. Our study provides insights into where and how nature might behave differently from what our theories predict," said co-author Professor Timothy Ralph.
The Daily Mail explains:
In the simulation, the researchers examined the behavior of a photon traveling through time and interacting with its older self. In their experiment they made use of the closely related, fictitious, case where the photon travels through normal space-time and interacts with another photon that is stuck in a time-travelling loop through a wormhole, known as a closed timelike curve (CTC). Simulating the behavior of this second photon, they were able to study the behavior of the first – and the results show that consistent evolutions can be achieved when preparing the second photon in just the right way.
Because of Albert Einstein's well-tested theories of special and general relativity physicists believe time travel is possible. Special relativity posits that space and time are aspects of the same thing, known as the space-time continuum, and that time can slow down or speed up, depending on how fast you are moving, relative to something else. General relativity suggests that it would be possible to travel backwards in time by following a space-time path, i.e. a CTC that returns to the starting point in space, but arrives at an earlier time.
In 2012, physicists David Wineland and Serge Haroche shared the Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating how "quantum weirdness" could not only exist at the subatomic micro-world level, but also show itself in the macro-world.
"The question of time travel features at the interface between two of our most successful yet incompatible physical theories – Einstein's general relativity and quantum mechanics. Einstein's theory describes the world at the very large scale of stars and galaxies, while quantum mechanics is an excellent description of the world at the very small scale of atoms and molecules," said Martin Ringbauer, a PhD student at UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics and a lead author of the paper.
With several physical problems and paradoxes, is it really possible to go backwards through time? In a new BBC documentary, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking suggests that it simply isn't possible to go back in time. And there's not much to look forward to, either. Nonetheless, advances in quantum theories could perhaps provide some understanding of how to overcome time travel paradoxes.
