Garry Shandling's famous friends are still honoring their late pal.
A large group of stars gathered at the late comedian's home over the weekend to play some basketball. The "Larry Sanders Show" star was a huge fan of the sport and often invited friends to come over and play, so Judd Apatow and many more felt that playing one last pick-up game would be the best way to pay tribute to Shandling.
Shandling passed away Thursday of an apparent heart attack, his rep confirmed to E! News, despite doctors believing he was in good health. He had no history of heart problems nor was he suffering from any illness at the time. The legendary comedian influenced Apatow, Ricky Gervais, Jon Stewart and more comedians throughout his career.
U.S. & World
"One last game of basketball at Garry's house to say goodbye," Apatow captioned a group picture on Instagram. Those gathered included Apatow, Sarah Silverman, Ryan Phillippe, Bill Maher, Jeffrey Tambor, Kevin Nealon, Breckin Meyer, Jesse Bradford and more. Some of the group also went to dinner at Craig's restaurant in Los Angeles to continue honoring their late friend. [[373743501,C]]
"A bunch of fans of Garry Shandling who were lucky enough to become friends of Garry Shandling," Bradford posted on Instagram. "RIP brother I don't think you even realize how much you will be missed." He also shared an old photo of him playing basketball with the late star. [[373743901,C]]
Shortly after the news broke of Shandling's death, many A-listers paid tribute on social media. At first, Apatow couldn't find the words say, choosing to share a solemn photo of the comedian at work. Jim Carrey shared a heartfelt statement to us, saying, "When you get the light in a comedy club you know your time is up. Life doesn't always give you a signal. Garry Shandling performed at the highest level on and offstage. He was an excellent man and he was more than ready for the Big Show. Bravo Garry! Yours was a life well lived."
While his tragic death was unexpected to those closest to him and his fans, the star will make one final screen appearance in "The Jungle Book" movie, which is set to premiere on April 4th, hitting theaters on April 15th. [[238430011,C]]

60-day move out notice surprises Johns Hopkins University students
Northway Apartment Building on Charles Street terminates leases
The stress level of exams week at Johns Hopkins University is spiking as dozens of students will soon have no place to live.
Those students said the owner of a popular apartment building has broken their leases and created a housing crisis.
At Johns Hopkins University, juniors and seniors have to find their own housing. The Northway Apartments on Charles Street is a coveted address that is safe, roomy and close, but it's now the subject of much controversy for students, their parents and the school.
Students were among the tenants who found notices on their apartment doors. The three-line formal notice said: "Your lease will be terminated." All the leases at the Northway Apartment Building on Charles Street, which mostly houses students, will be terminated.
Students said they are unsure of where they are going to live.
"That's a good question right now," Johns Hopkins University student John Maxwell said.
Like many tenants, Maxwell and his roommates who are rising seniors knew their lease would automatically renew for an additional year, unless they notified the landlord in March. It stated so on their lease.
Then came the bombshell notice, dated May 1, which means the leases for all 160 residents of the high-rise building will be terminated in June after most students have already left for the year.
"We kind of feel that this house we've been accustomed to and anticipated coming back to has really been taken out from underneath our feet," Maxwell said.
"He technically didn't do anything illegal, but he wasn't nice about it," another tenant said.
The building's owner, H.B. Enterprises, said the building, which was built in the 30s, has major maintenance problems, safety issues and is in dire need of renovation.
But can H.B. force everyone out because of it? One out-of-state parent said no way.
"I'm angry, I guess. It's pretty evident. I would dare anyone not to be," parent Laurie Havard said.
The university reacted to the situation.
"University Council had looked into it, and their conclusion is that as long as it's for the purpose of renovation, the property has the right to shut down if they give occupants 60 days' notice," said Dennis O'Shea, with Johns Hopkins University.
Off-campus housing officials are trying to help relocate the Northway students.
The 11 News I-Team tracked down H.B. Enterprises to a small office space in Edgewater. By phone, a spokesman for H.B. said it decided only a month ago to renovate the Northway and convert it into premier student housing, but upon pressing the spokesman, he revealed the company hasn't yet applied for any permits to do the work.
Hopkins said they are trying to help students find housing.
The I-Team asked H.B. for architectural plans for the new Northway but never saw them. A representative said students can expect a top-floor gym, computer room, new kitchens, bathrooms and a yoga room.
The delivery date is unknown.

The medicinal ingredient found in milk thistle is silymarin, an extract of milk thistle seeds. Silymarin is a mixture that contains several closely related compounds, including silybin (consisting of the silybins A and B), isosilybin (consisting of the isosilybins A and B), silychristin and isosilychristin, silydianin, and taxifolin. Most research has studied silymarin or its major component silybin, instead of the plant in its whole form.
The botanical name for milk thistle is Silybum marianum. Milk thistle is also called holy thistle, Marian thistle, Mary thistle, St. Mary thistle, Our Lady's thistle, wild artichoke, Mariendistel (German), and Chardon-Marie (French).
What is the history of the discovery and use of milk thistle as a complementary and alternative therapy?
The ancient Greeks and Romans used milk thistle as a treatment for liver ailments and snake bites. During the Middle Ages, milk thistle was recommended to treat liver toxins. Modern homeopathic practitioners have used compounds from milk thistle seeds to treat a range of disorders including jaundice, gallstones, and peritonitis. The German Commission E, which studies the safety and efficacy of herbs for the German government, recommends milk thistle for liver damage due to toxins, cirrhosis of the liver, and as a supportive therapy for chronic inflammation of the liver.
Despite milk thistle's long history of use for liver complaints, it was not until 1968 that researchers extracted silymarin from milk thistle seeds and suggested that it might be the plant's active ingredient. Silymarin was later discovered to be a mixture of flavonolignans, a family of plant-based substances.
What is the theory behind the claim that milk thistle is useful in treating cancer?
The active substance in milk thistle is silymarin, containing silybin as its major compound. To research the claim that milk thistle is useful in treating cancer, silymarin and silybin have been the most widely studied ingredients.
Silymarin and silybin may protect the liver against damage from toxic chemicals by blocking toxins from entering the cell or by moving toxins out of the cell before damage begins.
Silymarin and silybin have been studied in the laboratory in cancer cells as well as in animal tumors of the tongue, skin, bladder, colon, and small intestine. They have been tested for their potential to:
- Make chemotherapy less toxic.
- Make chemotherapy more effective.
- Stop or slow the growth of cancer cells and block tumors from starting or continuing to grow.
- Help to repair liver tissue.
Can milk thistle make anticancer medications or other drugs more effective?
It is not known if milk thistle may make anticancer medications or other drugs more effective, less effective, or have no effect when taken with them. Specifically, it has not yet been determined whether milk thistle will increase or decrease how well chemotherapy works, or have no effect on it.
How is milk thistle administered?
Milk thistle is usually taken by mouth in capsules or tablets. Since it does not dissolve well in water, it is not commonly taken as an herbal tea. In Europe, the active compound silybin is given by intravenous infusion as the only effective antidote for Amanita phalloides, a mushroom toxin that causes deadly liver failure.
Most milk thistle supplements are measured by how much silybin they contain. Special forms of silybin made to be easily absorbed and used by the body are sold under the names Legalon, silipide, and Siliphos.
Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using milk thistle?
Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be useful in humans. Preclinical studies are done before clinical trials (in humans) are begun.
Silymarin, the active substance found in milk thistle seeds, has been studied in laboratory research. These studies have shown that it:
- Strengthens cell walls to prevent toxins from crossing into the cell.
- Stimulates enzymes that make toxins less harmful to the body.
- Blocks damaging substances called free radicals from attacking cells.
Silybin A and B, the major components of silymarin, have been studied in laboratory experiments using cancer cell lines (cells adapted to grow in the laboratory). These studies suggest that these silybins:
- May help cisplatin and doxorubicin (chemotherapy drugs) work better against ovarian and breast cancer cells.
- May have direct anticancer effects against prostate, breast, and cervical cancer cells, and may also prevent the development of cancer.
- May slow down cell growth, as shown in prostate cancer cell lines.
In laboratory tests using rat livers, silymarin and silybin have also been found to boost the regrowth of liver tissue.
In laboratory tests using rats and mice whose ovaries have been removed, milk thistle has been found to help stop bone loss.
Tests on colorectal cancer cells transplanted into mice found that silybin given twice a day decreased tumor growth.
Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of milk thistle been conducted?
Several small studies have looked at the effects of milk thistle on decreasing harmful effects of cancer treatment and whether milk thistle can be used to treat cancer.
A randomized clinical trial in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia found that silymarin decreased the harmful effects of chemotherapy on the liver without working against the cancer treatment. The children taking silymarin needed fewer chemotherapy dose reductions because of side effects than the children who did not take milk thistle.
A randomized clinical trial in men who had surgery to remove their prostrate found that a combination of silymarin and selenium improved quality of life, decreased cholesterol, and increased the amount of selenium in the blood.
A nonrandomized observational study in women with breast cancer who had surgery and radiation therapy found that a silymarin-based cream helped prevent patients from having skin reactions to radiation therapy.
A phase I clinical trial in 3 patients with advanced liver cancer and poor liver function aimed to find out the maximum dose of silybin phosphatidylcholine that patients can safely handle. One patient showed some improvement in liver function and signs of inflammation.
A number of clinical trials have studied milk thistle or silymarin in the treatment of patients with hepatitis, cirrhosis, or disorders of the bile ducts. These trials have used a wide range of doses with mixed results. In a trial of biologic therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis, patients taking silymarin had fewer symptoms and a better quality of life compared to patients not taking silymarin. The beneficial effects of silymarin shown in some studies suggest it might play a role in preventing hepatitis and/or liver cancer, but no clinical trials have studied the use of silymarin for prevention.
Silymarin has been found to increase the effectiveness of iron chelation therapy, which removes extra iron in the blood of patients who have had many blood transfusions.
Have any side effects or risks been reported from milk thistle?
Very few side effects from the use of milk thistle or silymarin have been reported when taken as recommended. Several large, carefully designed studies in patients with liver disorders have found that taking silymarin may rarely have a laxative effect or cause nausea, heartburn, or stomach upset. At high doses, mild allergic reactions have been seen (more than 1,500 milligrams a day).
Silymarin has been used in pregnant women who have a bile blockage in the liver, with no toxic effects to the patient or fetus. Silymarin have also been given to children intravenously for mushroom poisoning.
Is milk thistle approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of milk thistle as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition.
Milk thistle is available in the United States as a dietary supplement. Dietary supplements are products meant to be added to the diet. They are not drugs and are not meant to treat, prevent, or cure diseases. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product is safe and that the label claims are truthful and not misleading. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements as safe or effective before they are sold.
Given the limited research done with milk thistle in patients with cancer, using it as a cancer treatment cannot be recommended except in carefully designed clinical trials.

About This PDQ Summary
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the use of milk thistle in the treatment of people with cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also referred to as integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any therapeutic approach, because some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere with their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Approaches
It is important that the same rigorous scientific evaluation used to assess conventional approaches be used to evaluate CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to evaluate CAM therapies for cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a rigorous scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have undergone rigorous evaluation. A small number of CAM therapies originally considered to be purely alternative approaches are finding a place in cancer treatment—not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) meeting in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to be effective in the management of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. In contrast, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found ineffective or potentially harmful.
The NCI Best Case Series Program which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being investigated. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM conducts a critical review of the materials and develops follow-up research strategies for approaches deemed to warrant NCI-initiated research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks associated with this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Will the therapy interfere with conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is sponsoring the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

LA Sanitation (LASAN) is pleased to provide free tours of our water reclamation facilities. On the tours, you will learn what happens to everything that goes down the drain in homes and businesses. Sewage contains mostly water and solids. As you go through the tour, notice that many of the treatment processes at the plants are designed to separate solids from water. This must take place so that when the wastewater is completely treated it is clean enough to be pumped into a body of water or recycled for other uses. The solids have value too - they are sent back into the sewer system and flow to the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant (HWRP) where they are processed into energy resources, soil amendments and fertilizer. Due to security constraints, tours are available by appointment only. To schedule a tour, please call the number for the corresponding plant. Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant (HWRP) - 310-648-5363

Ever since there has been a professional game, baseball fans have enjoyed debating comparisons of one player to another – both contemporaries and players across various eras in the sport's history. The Baseball Same Game adds to those debates.
However, rather than focus on the traditional "Who's better?" arguments (such as "Mantle or Mays?" or "Ruth or Aaron?") The Baseball Same Game takes on the particular cases of "Which players were the same?"
Unique baseball metrics - apart from those common and conventional baseball statistics that one would typically see on the back of a player's bubble gum card - are used to analyze career performance. And, The Baseball Same Game gives consideration to relativity when comparing statistics of baseball players from different eras in the game.
Which baseball all-time greats were the same in terms of their relative performance? Who are the recently retired players that match-up to the stars of baseball's past? What players not in the Baseball Hall of Fame measure up to those already in the Hall? The Baseball Same Game provides these answers and more.

WESTMINSTER – An explosion at a house sent a man to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns and forced the evacuation of several nearby houses Tuesday night.
Police and firefighters responded to the 15300 block of Vermont Street at approximately 4 p.m. Tuesday. After putting out a small fire they found the injured man and what appeared to be explosive-making materials.
The Orange County bomb squad was called.
"We believe that the explosive materials found were related to pyrotechnics and not to any type of bomb-making materials," said Cpl. Eddie Esqueda of the Westminster Police Department.
Besides the explosive materials, police also found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia materials. They were seized along with the explosive materials after a search warrant was obtained by detectives.
The man is at the UC Irvine Regional Burn Center, and faces charges that include possession of explosive-making materials and possession of a controlled substance for sale, Esqueda said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Westminster Police detectives at 714-548-3767.

"Our volunteers are full time and the fundraising they do is the key to our organization. We have no corporate sponsors, so they come up with the money for everything we do," Singer says. "The biggest healing is to be with other families. Participants say the BT-RO's gatherings are like a shot in the arm that keeps them going until they meet up again. I just wish we would have been able to do this for vets of past wars. Ideally, I'd like to see programs like BT-RO become available in every state."
Currently, the nonprofit is looking for volunteers to join the board of directors, help with fundraising and those with experience in grant writing. Additionally, BT-RO is seeking businesses that are willing to sponsor gathering places for retreats/events. Donations can be mailed to BT-RO at 3471 S. 17th Street Milwaukee WI 53213.

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." For all intents, Manuel Sanchís appears to fit all three maxims. His father, Manuel Sanchís Martínez, played for Real Madrid CF between 1964 and 1971, winning the European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1966, and when his then 13-year-old son began his own career at the Santiago Bernabéu in 1979, a clear path was already set.
But Manuel Sanchís blazed a new trail, and by the time he retired in 2001, the one-club man had made a staggering 524 Primera División appearances, encompassing eight championship medals, two UEFA Champions League (in 1998 and 2000) titles, having claimed back-to-back UEFA Cup honours in the mid-1980s. The harbinger of Madrid's famed 'La Quinta del Buitre' (Vulture's Cohorts) – the name given to the generation of homegrown players that dominated Spanish football in the 1980s – Manuel Sanchís' first taste of success came at the 1986 UEFA European Under-21 Championships.
The cornerstone of a defence that did not concede in qualifying, he provided a crucial balance as Spain cut loose against France in the quarter-finals, claiming 3-1 victories home and away to set up a last-four encounter with Hungary, whom they beat 5-4 in a thrilling comeback. They edged out Italy on penalties in the showpiece, following a 3-3 aggregate draw as Manuel Sanchís lifted silverware for his first time – although by no means his last.

Reference for WLS then WLSMV for dif...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Chris G Richardson
posted on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 10:13 pm
Hi Linda/Bengt,
I'm comparing the fit of several nested CFA models of a 6-item scale composed of a mixture of ordinal and dichotomous responses (n=231) - am therefore declaring all the variables catgorical and using WLS to generate models then conducting chi-square difference tests. I have then re-run the final best fitting model using WLSMV (see below) and plan on reporting the loadings etc of this final model. I'm in the process of writing up the results and have 3 questions:
1)Is there a reference for the process of using WLS to conduct chi-square different tests and then using WLSMV on the 'final' best fitting model to provide assessments of model fit, loadings etc? I read through the posts on this discussion board to find this method and was thinking that I could at least reference Linda's posting (i.e. WLSMV doesn't support chi-square diff tests).
2)My results for the final model seem almost too good to be true - are the following within the normal possible range?
The model statement with starting values is
f1 BY v2 v4*-.91 v6*.55 v7*.70 ;
f2 BY v3 v4*-.91 v5*-.51 ;
f1 WITH f2
(this model was taken directly from the lit and is not the product of post-hoc modification)
Chi-Square Test of Model Fit 5.172* (DF =6), p=0.52, CFI = 1.000, TLI =1.005, RMSEA=0.000
3) Lastly, is there a way I can produce and save the asymptotic covariance matrix?
Thanks for your assisstance and for producing such a user friendly software package!

1. No reference for this.
2. This can happen if the correlations among the items are very low or if the sample size is very small. Or, if the theory and the measurements are very strong.
3. Mplus does not save the asymptotic covariance matrix.

Thanks Bengt,
Will use this website as a reference for the methodology.

I want to clarify the use of this procedure. If WLS is running, why ultimately use WLSMV?
If I am getting the message about not positive definite under WLS, I use WLSMV. I am not clear if there is some way to still use the WLS for difference tests as this topic seems to imply.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, January 19, 2004 - 8:51 am
WLS requires the weight matrix to be positive definite because the weight matrix is inverted as part of the estimation procedure. WLSMV does not require the weight matrix to be positive definite because it is not inverted as part of the estimation procedure. So in the situation that WLS does not get results and WLSMV does, you do not have an option for difference testing. In Version 3, WLSMV difference testing will be included as a two step procedure.
A small sample with variables with floor or ceiling effects is usually the reason for the weight matrix not being positive definite. WLSMV has been studied with samples as low as 200 for variables with floor or ceiling effects and has performed well. I don't know what your situation is.
Daniel E Bontempo
posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 6:38 pm
I am glad to hear about the enhancement in version 3. In my case this will be the only solution.
However, what about the other way around. I still don't understand the benefit of WLSMV for the final run if WLS is working?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 6:44 pm
In simulation studies, the WLSMV chi-square has performed better than the WLS chi-square. So we suggest reporting that for the final model.
Rich Jones
posted on Friday, April 21, 2006 - 10:39 am
With early versions of Mplus, I used to estimate interim models with WLS, perform model building by examining derivatives (later modification indices). I would estimate a final, fitted model with WLSMV.
1) Now that Mplus (v3+) produces modification indices under WLSMV, is this approach still needed/recommended?
2) If no...since I am getting that WLSMV is the preferred estimator based on simulations, when using modification indices to build models, would it be recommended to assess model modifications using the DIFTEST option/procedure?
3) Maybe what I'm asking is: is the value for a modification index under WLSMV equal or similar to what I would get doing a chi-square difference test using DIFTEST procedure?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, April 21, 2006 - 11:34 am
With WLSMV, you can use the modification indices to make model modifications just like you would with continuous outcomes. And you can test nested models using DIFFTEST.

You know when people see Jesus in potato chips? Or in toast? This is kind of like that, but less delicious and not religious. That is, unless you think watching anime is some sort of holy experience.
A recent thread on 2ch, Japan's largest bulletin board, was pouring over this image by Johannes Schedler at the Panther Observatory. The image, which dates from 2008 (so old!), shows NGC 6357, a nebula complex located approximately 8,000 light years away.
This post has anime spoilers!
Folks on 2ch didn't see stars and molecular gas. They saw "Ultimate Madoka" from the popular anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. If you don't follow that show, Ultimate Madoka is the ultimate magical girl form character Madoka Kaname takes at the end of the series.
Which is perhaps why people are seeing this (digital manipulation to make Ultimate Madoka easier to see.)
Is Ultimate Madoka really hidden, deep in space? Is that Jesus on food? Is there really a hidden message in these Phantom Pain screenshots? Eh... it's a big stretch, but...
I want to believe!

Google's Nexus 7 is the best new way to spend 200 bucks: it's fast, slick, and expensive-feeling. But Nokia claims it also infringes some of its patents in the process.
Nokia has announced that the tablet infringes a number of its patents connected with the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard, reports The Inquirer. In fact, most mobile device manufacturers license the patents from Nokia; currently, neither Google nor Asus is on the list of licensees.
However, it's perhaps not as dramatic as it sounds. A Nokia spokesperson told The Inquirer that "companies who are not yet licensed under our standard essential patents should simply approach us and sign up for a license." In other words, Google and Asus can almost certainly approach them to get their paperwork in order—if they think they need to.
Strange, then, that Asus is being cagey on the issue, telling The Inquirer that "at the moment, Asus will not be providing any response/comment related." Of course, it's not clear that the device definitely infringes the patents—that would be for a court to decide—but it will be interesting to see how the claims pan out. [The Inquirer]
