Finally, the cream has risen to the top. Take a look up and down the MLS Cup Playoffs field, and it's a pretty inarguable fact: The eight most deserving teams are in the postseason.
Is that really so remarkable? The answer is a resounding yes. Say what you will about MLS' playoff format, which has been altered more times in the past 15 years than your dad's wedding tux. For the first time in league history, every single team in the playoff field is a winning side.
I'll repeat that so it sinks in: Never before have all eight playoffs teams had better than .500 records.
Let's be frank: As the league has fluctuated with the number of franchises, expansion, contraction and then expansion again, it's been a tough sell to convince fans that the eight teams that end up vying for the title are all worthy contenders. Going strictly by the numbers, there is always a dog or two that makes it into that final field. During MLS' first two seasons, in fact, all but two teams made the playoffs (and again from 2002 to '04).
[inline_node:322043]But this season has afforded MLS a watershed moment in its growth. With the addition of Philadelphia bringing the league's count to 16 clubs, we'll never again see more teams making it into the playoffs than those who don't.
That's not something to take lightly. Dig a little deeper, and there's proof positive that MLS is evolving into a more mature league with higher-quality soccer, and one that is becoming a bigger player on the world stage.
I did a little bit of number-crunching just to see how well this year's field of eight playoff teams rates historically. I went back through every season in MLS history and averaged out totals for the eight teams that made the MLS Cup Playoffs dating back to 1996.
Here are some of the conclusions:
1. We've gotten the point. The average points total of this year's final eight is 50.8, the second-highest in league history. And all eight teams didn't just finish with winning records – they all had at least three more wins than losses.
That means this is the first time in MLS history that no team has back-doored its way into the postseason just to make up the numbers.
The flip side, of course, is that we'll likely never see miracle runs to the MLS Cup final by party-crashing bottom-feeders, such as the 2005 LA Galaxy, the '08 New York Red Bulls or even last year's Real Salt Lake. But that also means that regular-season quality will always be rewarded.
Why was this year's average total only the second-highest, you ask? The best-ever average points total was in 2005, at 51.4. And that's nothing to get excited about. For one, it was a 32-game schedule that year, with an additional six points on the board.
But that season was also the inaugural campaigns for both RSL and Chivas USA, the worst-ever expansion teams. They were so bad, they made everyone else look good: Their combined 132 goals allowed was nearly as much as the rest of the Western Conference gave up in total.
2. Defense wins championships. It's true in every sport. But this year's batch of playoff teams allowed an average 29.6 goals over the course of the regular season, tying last season for the all-time low. That's less than a goal allowed per game – something else that's never happened in league history.
[inline_node:316397]That means the early, Wild West gun-slinging days of MLS are a thing of the past. We rarely see goal-fests anymore, and we certainly don't see seasons like 1998, when both D.C. United and the LA Galaxy – the two most prolific offenses in league history – were scoring in the neighborhood of 2.5 goals per game.
That's because coaches in today's MLS have put a greater emphasis on effective, organized defense. It's not a surprise when you hear newcomers to the league remark how physical and tough it can be.
3. Quality over quantity. Again, another league first: All eight playoff teams had a positive goal differential. Sounds amazing, but it's true – every team scored more goals than they allowed.
Historically, it's not even close. The average plus-11.1 differential of this year's octet marks the first time the average has cracked the plus-10 mark. Consider, by comparison, that average figure has been less than plus-three during four separate seasons.
And as recently as two years ago, half the playoff field entered the postseason with a minus differential. Put it another way: Half of playoff teams were allowing more goals than they were scoring, yet had the same chance to win MLS Cup as the team that won the Supporters' Shield.
What makes this year even more remarkable is that scoring was at an all-time low in MLS this season at 2.46 goals per game. That's a far cry from the record 3.57 per game from the 1998 season. But it's a reflection of the quality of the league and the maturation of both offenses and defenses.
In fact, that 2.46 average from 2010 puts MLS more in line with the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A instead of the comically high stratosphere of the old days.
In all, this makes this year's MLS Cup Playoffs perhaps the easiest to sell to fans. Whoever hoists that trophy in Toronto next month, no one can accuse them of not deserving to be there.
From the Shield-winning LA Galaxy all the way down to the San Jose Earthquakes, this year's field features eight teams that all play really good soccer. That's honestly the first time we've ever been able to say that.

Illegal for Government to subject non-Muslims to be tried by the Syariah Court. Call on the Government to resolve the problems related to the conversion in and out of Islam immediately and to implement a quick and easy way to determine the religious status of a person
The clarification by Minster in the Prime Minister's Department, Mejar Jeneral (B) Datuk Jamil Khir Bin Baharom that the 135 applicants who managed to renounce Islam were actually non-Muslims who were mistakenly registered as Muslims by the National Registration Department (NRD) because of their names and these victims have to apply to the Syariah Court to change their religious status shows that something is very wrong with the Government administration.
Firstly, if it is a mistake made by the NRD why can't the NRD rectify it?
Secondly, the Syariah Curt has no jurisdiction over non-muslims. The Syariah Court Judges should reject such application due to lack of jurisdiction and asked that the matter be resolved by the NRD. Any decision by the Syariah court over a non Muslim is illegal.
Thirdly, courts are constituted to settle disputes not for confirming the religious status of a person. Articles II of the Federal Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion of every Malaysian and therefore, the religious status of a person is determined by the person concern. A statutory declaration made by the person should suffice. Muslims are complaining that there is huge back log of cases in the Syariah Courts. Therefore, Syariah Courts should spend their time giving priority clearing the cases rather than getting themselves involved with matters which they do not have jurisdiction.
Subjecting non-Muslims to the Syariah Court is oppressive as these non-Muslims have to go through 'counselling not to leave the Islamic faith' which may take months, some cases years and in many other cases never approved.
A person after becoming a Muslim registers himself/herself with the respective State Islamic Council. Depositing a statutory declaration declaring that he/she has left the Islamic faith with the same Islamic Council should suffice to confirm that he/she has left the Islamic faith.
Conversion to Islam has been abused by many. Some have converted to Islam to escape their legal duty to provide maintenance for their wives and children. Others converted to Islam to get custody of the children as the Syariah Courts will grant them the custody of the children. The civil courts regretfully now hold the view that they have no jurisdiction to interfere. Islam promotes justice but it has now been used to perpetuate injustice.
I know of people who do not profess the Islamic faith, never seen or read the Koran before and have never entered a mosque but due to various circumstances have a muslim sounding names. They want to be non-Muslims and get married to non-Muslims. Since there is no avenue for them to get married, they stay together out of wedlock and give birth to offsprings who will then be victim of circumstances like their parents. By refusing them an avenue to get married and have a normal family, we become a cruel society and by our cruelty we breed further social problems.
All persons above the age of 18 should be given full liberty to choose the religion of their choice.
I call on the Government to resolve the issues related to the conversion in and out of Islam immediately by following and respecting the provisions and the spirit of the Federal Constitution so that the untold miseries of those affected by the said issue can be put to an end.
Dated this 24th day of June 2011.
Deputy Secretary of DAP Malaysia
MP for Beruas & State Assemblyman for Sitiawan

WONDERFUL WATER: Being a visitor to Yosemite National Park in September or October can have its pleasures. Nights are cooling down and crowds are dispersing and a leaf here and there might be looking rather golden. But the famous valley's famous waterfalls? It's not their time of year. They rely on snowmelt, and snowmelt of course follows winter, meaning that springtime is the right time to see the falls in all of their powerful, rainbow-making, foam-dispersing glory. It's true that some of wonders around the valley, keep a more year-round schedule -- and Horsetail Fall starts to do its thing in December -- but a waterfall enthusiast cannot go wrong arriving in March or April (emphasis on April). Lots of other people will be there to admire the park's H20-ness during the spring, but it's a different vibe than summer, a bit more chill (to go with the temps, which are still a bit chill).
WHAT TO LOOK FOR: As mentioned, Horsetail Fall gets an early start but it has an earlier finish, too, in April. But Sentinal Falls and Ribbon Falls churn up around March, running through into the first part of summer. Yosemite Falls, which has both an Upper and Lower fall, has a longer run with a fall start, but its peak comes close to May. You can also eye what water runs all year, and where to see it.
STAYING OVER: There are a number of choices in and near the valley, including the historic Ahwahnee and Yosemite Lodge at the Falls, which, as its name suggests, is falls-adjacent. Just remember wherever you go, and wherever you stay, and whatever you do, that it is best to let nature be, even the smallest of sticks.

Nice Recipe but i have delicious recipe that is good: https://www.sooperchef.pk/chicken-gold-cutlets-recipe/
Nov 24, 2013
I found this to be an excellent recipe. At first I balked at the three-stage dredging/breading process but followed the recipe as written and the breading stayed on the chicken beautifully. The end produce was quite attractive on the plate. This was a really nice dish that I served it with mashed potatoes.
Jan 8, 2011
It had an average taste. It seemed like it was missing something.
Oct 2, 2008
I do this chicken recipe all the time too except I spray the baking dish with nonstick butter spray, dip the breasts in beatn egg w/TBS. of milk and then dip it in a bowl with italian bread crumbs mixed with grated parmesan cheese, drizzle with melted butter before putting in the oven. I'll have to try your version one day real soon though! Thanks!Julei

This is a great recipe. I make them, but dredge them in flour and then beaten egg with a teaspoon of milk, then in breadcrumbs. Both are great! Thanks for your version, loved it, too

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,
Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;
Him in thy course untainted do allow
For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.
Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live young.
Sonnet 19: Translation to modern English
Devouring Time, you may make the lion's claws blunt and return all creatures to the earth from which they sprang; pull the teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, and destroy the phoenix in her fire. Do whatever you like, fast-running Time, to any beautiful fading thing in the world; but I forbid you to commit one heinous crime: oh don't cut into my love's beautiful brow, nor draw wrinkles there with your insane pen. As you go on your destructive course spare him as a pattern of beauty for posterity. But, do your worst, old Time. Whatever harm you do my love will remain young forever in my poetry.

2014 Liberty Football Schedule
Liberty's 2014 football schedule features an even split of six home and six road contests and is spotlighted by a pair of FBS opponents.
The last time the Flames faced two FBS opponents in the same season was 2003, when Liberty traveled to the "Buckeye State" on back-to-back weekends to square off against Toledo and Bowling Green.
The Flames open up their fourth-straight football schedule on the road against a FBS opponent, facing North Carolina on Aug. 30. The 2014 opener marks the first-ever meeting between the Flames and the Tar Heels on the gridiron and will be played at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Liberty also kicks off a football season against an opponent from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for the third time over a four-year span (2011 – N.C. State; 2012 – Wake Forest; 2014 – North Carolina).
During the second week of October, Liberty returns to the state of North Carolina, traveling into the Blue Ridge Mountains to face Appalachian State on Oct. 11 in Liberty's final tune-up before conference play. The contest against one of the Sun Belt Conference's newest members is Liberty's 10th against Appalachian State and the first since 2002.
The Tar Heels and the Mountaineers bookend Liberty's 2014 non-conference schedule and will prepare the Flames for their attempt to claim a seventh Big South title in the last eight years.
Liberty remains on the road following its season opener at North Carolina, traveling across the Commonwealth to face Norfolk State on Sept. 6. Liberty is 3-2 all-time in the series against the Spartans. The Flames will try to avenge a 31-24 setback to No. 24 Norfolk State on Sept. 8, 2012, Liberty's first home game under head coach Turner Gill.
Three out of Liberty's next four non-conference games take place inside the confines of Williams Stadium, a place the Flames have posted a 40-8 record since 2006.
Liberty opens its 2014 home slate against the same team it faced in its last home game of 2013. The Flames host Brevard on Sept. 13 in their second meeting in the series against the Tornados.
The Flames welcome their first of two-straight newcomers to their schedule the following weekend. Liberty hosts Northeast Conference member Bryant on Sept. 20, during Hall of Fame Weekend on Liberty Mountain.
The Flames close out the month of September on the road in their first-ever matchup against Indiana State. The Sept. 27 contest in Terre Haute, Ind., pits the Flames against a team from the FCS powerhouse Missouri Valley Conference, home of three-time defending FCS national champion North Dakota State.
Liberty's final home non-conference matchup comes on Homecoming Weekend when they face in-state foe Richmond on Oct. 4. The No. 20 ranked Spiders knocked off the Flames, 31-20, in the series' first-ever meeting, last fall, in Richmond.
Following their road game at Appalachian State and their annual bye week, the Flames begin their Big South title defense against Gardner-Webb at home on Oct. 25. Liberty will look to pick up its eighth-straight victory over the Bulldogs in the Family Weekend contest.
Liberty begins the final month of the regular season on the road at Presbyterian College on Nov. 1. Liberty has won all five of its meetings against the Blue Hose since they joined the Big South and the Flames are a perfect 7-0 in the 11th month of the year in two seasons under Gill.
The Flames begin their final homestand of the regular season against Big South newcomer Monmouth on Nov. 8, Military Appreciation Day. Last year, Liberty defeated the Hawks, 45-15, in their 2013 home opener on Sept. 7.
Liberty honors its 2014 graduating senior class during its final home regular season game against Charleston Southern on Nov. 15. The Flames closed out their 2013 season with a resounding 56-14 victory over the 16th-ranked Buccaneers in Charleston, S.C. The victory sealed another conference title and was the second-highest ranked team Liberty has beaten on the road in program history.
Liberty's quest to claim a seventh Big South title and earn its first-ever trip to the NCAA FCS Playoffs could come down to the last weekend of the regular season.
The Flames travel to Conway, S.C., on Nov. 22 to face Coastal Carolina, who advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 2013. The winner of the Liberty-Coastal Carolina game has gone on to claim at least a share of the Big South title nine of the last 10 years.
Liberty had its 18-game home Big South winning streak snapped by No. 4 Coastal Carolina in dramatic fashion in the two teams' last meeting. The Chanticleers rallied from a 19-point second-half deficit to eventually escape Williams Stadium with a 55-52 double overtime win.
The Big South's top team will emerge with the conference's crown and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA FCS Playoffs.
The playoffs begin with eight first-round games on Nov. 29 and culminate with the crowning of another champion at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, in the NCAA FCS National Championship game in January.

We conducted a six-week-long online survey asking smartphone users to rate their mobile Internet service provider in a variety of categories: average upload speeds, average download speeds, availability of connection, reliability of connection, performance relative to cost, technical support, selection of phone models and customer service/billing.
For each category, respondents were given five choices: very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, dissatisfied and very dissatisfied. We tallied the results from our 820 respondents and came up with the winners ... and the losers.
The vast majority of our survey respondents, 93%, use one of the "big four" U.S. cellular service carriers: 37% use Verizon Wireless, 32% use AT&T, 14% use Sprint and 10% use T-Mobile, and those are the providers we've rated in this story. We did, however, include all survey responses when discussing overall satisfaction results, mobile data use and other general statistics.
We asked other questions as well, about how often people use mobile data networks and for what, why they chose their mobile service provider, how much they pay monthly and more. Based on all the results, we've come up with a snapshot of mobile data use and satisfaction today.
We found, for example, that contrary to what you might think, people are generally satisfied with their data networks, with two-thirds saying they were either satisfied or very satisfied. We also found that only about a third of respondents use a mobile data network to stay connected via social media, and network coverage was the main reason people chose their current carrier.
We've discovered a lot more as well. Read on to find it all out.
What you think about mobile data service
Before we take an in-depth look at the winners and losers for mobile data service providers, let's see how, as a group, they rated with customers. From all the griping people like to do about mobile service providers, you'd expect that few users are really happy with them -- but people on the whole gave them solidly good ratings.
Editor's note: For the sake of readability, in the story text below we've combined the "very satisfied" and "satisfied" responses into a single "satisfied" percentage, and we've likewise combined the "dissatisfied" and "very dissatisfied" responses into a single "dissatisfied" percentage. The accompanying charts show the full percentage breakdowns.
Data connection availability and reliability
Let's start off with the basics: Are people satisfied with their data connection being there when they want it? In other words, how happy are they with the network coverage and availability -- can they get online wherever and whenever they want to?
The answer: Generally, yes. A full two thirds, 67%, said they were satisfied. Only 17% were dissatisfied.
But that varied greatly by carrier, with 77% of Verizon customers saying they were satisfied. At the other end of the spectrum, only 48% of Sprint customers reported themselves as satisfied, and more than a third of Sprint customers, 36%, said they were dissatisfied.
People are almost as pleased with the reliability of the connection (once they're connected, do they stay connected?) as its availability. Some 61% reported themselves as being satisfied. Less than a quarter, 18%, said they were dissatisfied.
Once again, Verizon was tops, with 70% saying they were satisfied and only 12% dissatisfied. T-Mobile and Sprint rated the worst. Only 44% of T-Mobile customers reported themselves as satisfied, and almost a quarter, 24%, said they were dissatisfied with T-Mobile's network reliability. Sprint fared no better, with 46% of its customers reporting themselves as satisfied and 36% saying they were dissatisfied.
Download and upload speeds
People are just as happy with their provider's data download and upload speeds as with the availability and reliability of the connection.
Some 66% said they were satisfied with the average download speed. Only 16% were dissatisfied.
Verizon once again was the top performer, with 71% satisfied and just 9% dissatisfied. Sprint was the worst, at 49% satisfied and 38% dissatisfied.
Customers are not quite as pleased with upload speeds, with 59% satisfied; on the other hand, only 14% said they were dissatisfied.
Can you guess the winner and loser? Yes, you can. Verizon was tops again with 64% satisfied and only 9% dissatisfied. And fewer than half of Sprint users, 44%, were satisfied with upload speeds. Some 32% of them were dissatisfied.
Value and phone selection
A high-performing network is one thing, but bang for the buck is something else entirely. So we asked customers what they felt about the data network performance of their providers compared to what they're paying.
As a whole, they're only moderately pleased, with 52% saying they were satisfied and 25% saying they were dissatisfied.
T-Mobile customers, though, are a very happy bunch, with 67% rating themselves satisfied and 22% dissatisfied. Sprint got the big raspberry here again, with the worst results -- 44% satisfied and 35% dissatisfied.
It's clear that the smartphone wars are good for consumers, because they reported themselves as being extremely pleased with the selection of available phones from their carriers -- a whopping 81% said they were satisfied, and only about 6% were dissatisfied.
AT&T won by a mile here, with 90% of customers satisfied and only 2% dissatisfied. Even customers of T-Mobile, which rated the worst in this category, are still a happy bunch, with 70% satisfied and 12% dissatisfied.
Tech support and customer service
We've all been there: Stuck on hold listening to easy-listening music that is not so easy to listen to, fuming while we wait our turn to get non-answers to even the simplest of questions.
Or maybe not. At least, that's what our findings show. People are reasonably pleased with both the technical support and the customer service that their cell phone providers offer.
For technical support, about 58% of people said they were satisfied, and only 9% were dissatisfied. T-Mobile came out on top here, with 68% satisfied and only 9% dissatisfied.
People are even more pleased with the customer service they get, with 65% being satisfied and 11% dissatisfied on average.
There were no great differences among cell providers when it comes to customer service satisfaction, but for once, Sprint topped the bunch in satisfied responses, at 68%. However, Sprint also had the highest rate of dissatisfied responses at 14%. AT&T's 63% satisfied responses were the lowest in the bunch, with 11% of AT&T customers saying they were dissatisfied with its customer service.
Your mobile data use
How do people actually use their mobile data? Are they on 3G or 4G networks? What are their primary uses for the network once they hop on? The survey has some interesting and definitive answers to these and other questions.
People are transitioning to high-speed 4G networks, with 4G slightly ahead of 3G. Some 39% said they connect via 4G networks, 32% via 3G and 26% on either 3G or 4G, depending on their location. The remainder of people either don't know what speed network they use, or else are using a 2G network.
T-Mobile users are 4G-centric, with 57% reporting that they always connect via 4G, while Sprint users are slowpokes, with only 11% always connecting via 4G.
Somewhat surprisingly, our survey shows that smartphone users are not data addicts -- at least not when they're connecting via a mobile network instead of Wi-Fi. Only 31% reported themselves as using a data connection for more than an hour a day (23% use it between one and three hours, and 8% use it for more than three hours). Some 34% use the data connection between 20 minutes and an hour a day, 21% between 10 and 20 minutes a day, and perhaps most surprisingly, 14% use it less than 10 minutes a day.
T-Mobile users love their data, though: 19% use their data connection more than three hours a day, and 25% use it for between one and three hours.
What do people use their data connection for? Primarily three things: 89% go online for information such as search results, maps, weather, transit details and business ratings; 85% use it for email; and 72% use it for Web browsing.
Social networking came in a distant fourth, with 35% of people using it for that. Apart from that, no other single use -- downloading apps, streaming music or videos, shopping, using cloud storage/productivity tools, etc. -- cracked the 30% barrier.
Our survey also shows that online mobile gaming hasn't caught on with respondents: Only 7% said they use their smartphones to play games online.
Plans, contracts and costs
When it comes to contracts and plans, survey respondents are a family-oriented bunch, with 50% on family plans and 27% on individual plans.
The remainder are nearly evenly split between business plans (12%) and data-sharing plans that include other devices such as tablets (11%).
Long-term contracts, rather than month-to-month or pre-paid ones, still rule: 84% of respondents have long-term contracts, 12% are month to month and 4% are pre-paid.
And despite provider attempts to the contrary, unlimited data plans are still common: 56% of respondents are on unlimited plans, 40% are on tiered plans and 4% don't know.
Those numbers are deceiving, though, because Sprint and T-Mobile customers overwhelmingly are on unlimited plans, with about 96% of Sprint subscribers with unlimited plans (only 1% say they are on a tiered plan, and the other 3% don't know), and 73% of T-Mobile users on unlimited plans.
As for pricing, the results are divided into two groups: those who reported monthly costs for their data plan only, and those who said they use a voice + data bundle.
In the data-only group, slightly more than half -- 51% -- pay $40 or less for their monthly data service, 24% pay between $41 and $60, 11% pay between $61 and $80, 6% pay between $81 and $100, 7% pay between $101 and $150, and just 1% pay between $151 and $200 for data only.
In the voice + data bundle group, 18% pay less than $40 per month, 20% pay from $41 to $60, 15% pay from $61 to $80, $13% pay from $81 to $100, 16% pay from $101 to $150, and 9% pay from $151 to $200. At the top end of the spectrum, 9% spend more than $200 per month for a voice + data bundle.
Why people chose their mobile providers
We also asked participants on what basis they chose their carriers: price, coverage, plan options, the availability of a specific phone, or "other." We asked them to rank how important each factor was, with 1 being the most important and 5 being the least important.
Did you choose your carrier based on...
Percentage of respondents who ranked each reason 1 or 2, where 1 is most important and 5 least important
Coverage: 71%
Price: 50%
Plan options: 38%
Specific phone: 28%
Other: 16%
Source: Computerworld mobile data service survey, 2013
Base: 820 respondents
The results are clear: Network coverage was the most important factor overall, with 71% of people ranking it at either a 1 or a 2. Next was price, with 50% ranking it a 1 or 2.
Having a variety of plan options wasn't of overwhelming importance to people when they decided what carrier to choose -- only 38% gave it a 1 or a 2. The availability of a specific phone was least important overall, with only 28% rating it as a 1 or 2.
Finally, 16% of respondents chose "other" as the primary or secondary factor in their carrier decision. Common reasons they wrote in included data speed, customer service, the reputation of the provider, the fact that family members use that provider, and loyalty to the provider. Others said they use their provider because they're on a company plan or because they receive an employee discount with that provider.
We'll delve more into why people chose each of the specific carriers later in the story.
The rankings: Best and worst mobile data providers
Which providers are ranked best and which the worst among our survey takers? We crunched the numbers and came up with weighted averages on a scale of 1 to 5.
Verizon was the solid favorite -- with ratings at the top or near the top in every one of the eight individual categories, it came in first with a total weighted rating of 3.76 out of 5. At 3.71 overall, AT&T was a respectable number two, just ahead of T-Mobile with a 3.66. Sprint, meanwhile, was the clear loser at 3.42.
Verizon did particularly well in the categories grading the network's coverage and performance, receiving the highest ratings, mostly 3.8 and one 3.9, for download speed, upload speed, reliability of connection and availability of connection. AT&T came in second, with ratings of 3.6 or 3.7 for all those categories, and T-Mobile was third with ratings ranging from 3.3 to 3.8. Sprint was by far the worst performer, with the lowest rankings in every one of those categories, either a 3.1 or 3.2 for each.

[According to Ensembl86] the human genome encodes 58,037 genes, of which approximately one-third are protein-coding (19,950), and yields 198,093 transcripts. By comparison, the mouse genome encodes 48,709 genes, of which half are protein-coding (22,018 genes), and yields 118,925 transcripts overall.The very latest Ensembl estimates (April 2017) for Homo sapiens and Mus musculus are similar. The difference in gene numbers between mouse and human is not significant according to the authors ...
The discrepancy in total number of annotated genes between the two species is unlikely to reflect differences in underlying biology, and can be attributed to the less advanced state of the mouse annotation.This is correct but it doesn't explain the other numbers. There's general agreement on the number of protein-coding genes in mammals. They all have about 20,000 genes. There is no agreement on the number of genes for functional noncoding RNAs. In its latest build, Ensemble says there are 14,727 lncRNA genes, 5,362 genes for small noncoding RNAs, and 2,222 other genes for nocoding RNAs. The total number of non-protein-coding genes is 22,311.
There is no solid evidence to support this claim. It's true there are many transcripts resembling functional noncoding RNAs but claiming these identify true genes requires evidence that they have a biological function. It would be okay to call them "potential" genes or "possible" genes but the annotators are going beyond the data when they decide that these are actually genes.
Breschi et al. mention the number of transcripts. I don't know what method Ensembl uses to identify a functional transcript. Are these splice variants of protein-coding genes?
The rest of the review discusses the similarities between human and mouse genes. They point out, correctly, that about 16,000 protein-coding genes are orthologous. With respect to lncRNAs they discuss all the problems in comparing human and mouse lncRNA and conclude that "... the current catalogues of orthologous lncRNAs are still highly incomplete and inaccurate." There are several studies suggesting that only 1,000-2,000 lncRNAs are orthologous. Unfortunately, there's very little overlap between the two most comprehensive studies (189 lncRNAs in common).
There are two obvious possibilities. First, it's possible that these RNAs are just due to transcriptional noise and that's why the ones in the mouse and human genomes are different. Second, all these RNAs are functional but the genes have arisen separately in the two lineages. This means that about 10,000 genes for biologically functional lncRNAs have arisen in each of the genomes over the past 100 million years.
Breschi et al. don't discuss the first possibility.

In a stunning illustration of karma — or perhaps crime and punishment — this video shows a mugger in Colombia wrestling away a woman's mobile phone and immediately being hit by a bus. But the story doesn't end there. The woman — robbed by the suspect just moments before — actually gets down and helps her attacker out from under the bus. And in what seems like a miracle, the mugger was only slightly injured, the UK's Telegraph reports.
The Telegraph says the mugger and accomplices had pulled similar crimes, but perhaps this incident will change his ways. Hit by a bus, helped by his victim, and only slightly injured? It's hard to imagine a criminal getting luckier than that.

Take a moment to appreciate street vendors. Think of the value of their alert eyes at street level in the busiest places. Let's reflect again on what Jane Jacobs wrote in her brilliant book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities":
A well-used city street is apt to be a safe street. A deserted city street is apt to be unsafe. But how does this work, really? And what makes a city street well used or shunned? ... A city street equipped to handle strangers, and to make a safety asset, in itself, out of the presence of strangers, as the streets of successful city neighborhoods always do, must have three main qualities:Thanks to the guardians of the street.
First, there must be a clear demarcation between what is public space and what is private space. Public space and private spaces cannot ooze into each other as they do typically in suburban settings or in projects.The basic requisite for such surveillance is a substantial quantity of stores and other public places sprinkled along the sidewalks of a district; enterprises and public places that are used by evening and night must be among them especially. Stores, bars and restaurants, as the chief examples, work in several different and complex ways to abet sidewalk safety.
Second, there must be eyes upon the street, eyes belonging to those we might call the natural proprietors of the street. The buildings on a street equipped to handle strangers and to insure the safety of both residents and strangers, must be oriented to the street. They cannot turn their back or blank sides on it and leave it blind.
And third, the sidewalk must have users on it fairly continuously, both to add to the number of effective eyes on the street and to induce the people in buildings along the street to watch the sidewalks in sufficient numbers. Nobody enjoys sitting on a stoop or looking out a window at an empty street. ... Large numbers of people entertain themselves, off and on, by watching street activity.
First, they give people -- both residents and strangers -- concrete reasons for using the sidewalks on which the enterprises face.
Second, they draw people along the sidewalks past places which have no attractions to public use in themselves... Moreover, there should be many different kinds of enterprises, to give people reasons for crisscrossing paths.
Third, storekeepers and other small businessmen are typically strong proponents of peace and order themselves; ... they are great street watchers and sidewalk guardians if present in sufficient numbers.
Fourth, the activity generated by people on errands, or people aiming for food or drink, is itself an attraction to still other people.
