If one is a fan of the USA football team, Friday was not a good day.
Friday was the World Cup Draw for the 2014 tournament in Brazil. The pageantry of the draw for all 32 teams, some that waited months after finishing qualifying, was on full display. For the American contingent, it was a tough day, as the U.S was drawn into the "Group of Death." Group G contains Germany, Portugal, Ghana and the U.S.
Also going against the Americans is the absolutely awful travel schedule. They will have to log 9,000 miles between their three group stage matches, which they will be underdogs in at least two, and maybe all three. Included in that travel is a trip into the Amazon jungle at Manaus to play Portugal. The U.S. opens against Ghana at 6 p.m., Monday, June 16 at the Estadio das Dunas in Natal.
It was a day of celebration all around the globe, as the world gets ready in just over six months to open the greatest tournament in all of sport.
The opening match of the tournament, to be played at 4 p.m., Thursday, June 12 at the Arena de Sao Paulo, will pit host Brazil against Croatia. The second day will have three matches, including a tantalizing rematch of the 2010 World Cup Final, defending champion Spain against Netherlands. Other intriguing matchups for the first round include Germany vs. Portugal, Italy vs. England and Mexico vs. Cameroon.
France and Belgium were among the teams to get favorable draws. France, a team that had to go through the UEFA playoffs and come back from down 0-2 against Ukraine, was drawn into a group with seeded team Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras. The Swiss team is widely believed to be the weakest of the seeded teams, and Ecuador will be making only its second trip to the World Cup finals. Belgium, which has risen in the rankings as its youth has progressed onto some of the biggest club teams in the world, was drawn against Algeria, Russia, and the Korea Republic.
England, after opening against Italy, will match up against Uruguay, then close out the group stage with a match against Costa Rica. England will have to get something from the first two matches and then beat the Costa Ricans to have a chance to go through to the knockout stages.
Fellow CONCACAF side Mexico, after the opening match with Cameroon, will have to play the host Brazil, before ending with Croatia. Mexico is probably playing for second place in the group, and will have to get points from the Croatia and Cameroon matches to have a chance to slide into that spot. The bad news is if it finishes as runners up in Group A, it will most likely have to play Spain or the Netherlands in the round of 16.
Here are the complete World Cup groupings and schedules.

Sony announces new flagship model with a dual-core CPU: Is it a mistake?
0. phoneArena 29 Aug 2012, 12:02 posted on
Today was Sony's pre-IFA 2012 press-conference, and as expected, the company announced three new smartphones, the Xperia T, Xperia V and Xperia J, as well as a new tablet, the Xperia Tablet S...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

late to party as always. Sony is alright. it has a huge fan base after all.
7. aaronkatrini (Posts: 241; Member since: 06 Jun 2012)
Hey One S krait beats on every benchmark the One X, Dual-core on good architecture can be as good quad-cores.
22. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
Go explain that to laymen who will just go with the specs..
These companies dont run on geeks' money alone y' know
23. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
Not to forget that Sony keeps its prices a bit on the upper side..
35. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
At least in India, Sony keeps itself expensive.
One crazy thing they have recently done is put a Rs. 35000/-( ~ 630 USD) price tag on the scorpion powered Sony Ion.
Lolz its in the same league as S3 and One X
33. mrbtree (Posts: 59; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
one s has a qhd display, one x has a hd display, more pixels = more processing power = lower score
34. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
that too
37. aaronkatrini (Posts: 241; Member since: 06 Jun 2012)
keep your oppinions in one single F*cking comment.. nobody wants to see all your comments . thank you

The key feature of this phone is the camera, and 2 cores are enough especially with JB coming soon.
2. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
yeah i think it's a mistake because the majority of smartphone users are not a smartphones geek like us, they didn't know or didn't care that the s4 krait is equal to tegra 3 or exynos 4412...
3. Deerajrp (Posts: 15; Member since: 15 Aug 2010)
even though dual cores are quite capable of handling the present games and apps as of now, in a matter of few months there will be a pleathora of games which will be optimised only for the quads. no body wants to miss out on that!! so yeah sony should have gone with the quad. period! snapdragon s4 pro would have been really awesome if it was coupled with that beautiful screen of the sony.
4. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
Not as such as a mistake, but it would of helped sales.
5. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
It shouldn't matter, especially if the new iPhone will be launching with a dual-core processor (it will be). Optimized performance and unique features are better than raw power, if they're done right, and hopefully Sony can pull it off.
6. XperiaUser (unregistered)
i m with Sony. and i also want to buy this instead of s3 n any quad core but in case of market >>>>>> Definitely. Specs sell in the wireless industry.
8. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
i think dual cores are more than capable to handle graphical intensive programs on android.the problem is optimising android os so user can get that buttery smooth interface like waht windows phone offers.
Yes there is ice cream sandwich & jelly bean but i still think there is alot of work left to do eg. Linux gurus who optimised android
I Love android but they need to spend more time to optimise their devices and manufacturers need to spend time to toy with android and update their phone. i know its money making thing but eventually manufacturers will losse customers. htc sucks when it comes to updating previous phones to ics, look at the htc desire specs and they are outing ic for lower spec'd phones like htc desire c
9. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
I love how America assumes "Moar cores = moar powahh!!!!"
We obviously see that specs don't always sell with the iPhone.
10. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Like how no American carriers sell a quad-core phone?
12. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
i love android but google is just lazy to optimise the os even for ics and jellybean as they should forcing manufactuers to make quard cores to get the best performance from their devices. mid 2013 we'll start seeing hexa cores. even graphically intesive games can be optimised.
google is getting lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!! lazy !!!
21. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You realize Google has absolutely no say in software on phones, except for the Nexus, right? They just give it out to manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, etc. and let them do what they will with it.
32. Paradox (Posts: 124; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
I don't think google force any manufacturers to do anything...
11. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Actually I'm bored to hear Sony and Dual-Core in one sentence...
13. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
i guess you'll be one of the 1st to buy the hexa core that comes out next year.you wont even find use for all those cores.they just need to optimise cpu and graphical intensive apps
14. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"...hexa core that comes out next year."
Are you sure?
16. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
am not sure just saying thats the next step,based on how technology & android is evolving
18. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
hexa cores have been out. Technically the Tegra3 is a hexacore. 4+1 design.
However, no hexacore other than that is even on the horizon. The CPU development is gonna slow down a bit, they are ramping up GPU power like a madman though. The Exynos5 dual uses a quadcore GPU and the exynos5 quad is supposed to use an Octocore GPU.
The end of this year is going to be interesting.. next year is going to be .. veeeery interesting.
20. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
well they should focus on gpu's mostly since thats what handles most of the graphics intesive programs and games.
but still optimization is the key.
ever use a wp7 device to play hd/ racing games it's silky smooth yet they have outdated gpu's
google should focus on optimization as much as they focus on innovation and feautures
15. eman99 (Posts: 363; Member since: 03 Aug 2010)
what is up with sony and naming these devices after letters are they going through the whole alphabet????
17. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if it was the dual core pro, there wouldnt be an issue since it has a much much stronger GPU. the dual core krait is still a crap chip+GPU combo. main reason I never picked up a US SGS3. No thanks.
But, like always, the sony fans will proclaim this the best phone ever, just like they did with last year's underpowered models.
19. sadaivadai (Posts: 156; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Sony fans are lot different from Samsung fans . They don't rely on POWER alone . They like Sony's design , timescape UI , camera , screen(they prefer lcd with bravia engine to amoled) . So for them their phone is the best . every phone has their advantages .
24. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Remix, enough with the "crapdragon" stuff... Really. There are comparisons between the international GS3 and the US GS3, and there is basically no difference in overall speed. The S4 is fine. It's more powerful than the Tegra 3, which is enough to run Android with no lag, so that's well enough to make sure there is no difference in everyday performance between the Tegra 3, S4, or Exynos 4412.
Now, with custom UIs it's different, because obviously the GS3 with Touchwiz UX and the S4 will be faster than a One X with an S4 and Sense 4 (not including the Sense 4.1 update) because Touchwiz is lighter than Sense 4.
Yes, the S4 is a lesser chip to the Exynos 4412. But if that doesn't reflect in everyday performance, does it really matter?
25. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I think a quad-core is cool but for now is just to show off and some dual-core phones are as good as quad-core. I'm with sony.
26. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
SONY says themselves they DON'T NEED A QUAD core in their phones. and believe me SONY knows their processors and hardware. XPERIA T will be my next phone just glad I stayed away from the iON
27. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
T and V for the win!.... :)
28. kurejikame (Posts: 12; Member since: 27 Jun 2012)
Here's the thing. I know that for right now the dual core s4 can basically handle anything that is going to be thrown at.
At the same time, what does the future hold for Android? It may seem like overkill now, but say Android 5.0 brings a whole experience that requires more that just a dual core.
It may or may not, but I'd want my device to last me at least a year without feeling that it can't handle whatever new software or apps are being developed. With the s4 pro and the A15 within the near future, I feel like it's worth it to wait a few months as it will be at least a year before anything substantially more powerful comes out.
I'm still rocking a Droid Incredible. I have Jellybean on it, and it runs decently smooth. To be honest, I don't have a problem waiting for a device that is close to exactly what I want, even if it takes a while.
My "ideal" phone would be have a 4.3-4.6 Super AMOLED Plus screen, 2 gigs of ram, as of right now either the quad s4 pro or the dual Exynos with Cortex-A15, the new stacked sensor from Sony(I'm trying to be realistic. Pureview probably won't being coming to any other than Nokia), at least a 3000 mAh battery, the latest verison of Android, and a decent build quality and feel.
I have dropped my DInc so many times, and the only thing damaged is the front housing which has a few barely noticeable dings. Maybe I shouldn't be dropping my phone, but I think it should be able to handle some abuse. Anyway just my two cents :)
29. KaloqnYo (Posts: 22; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
The S4 chip and Adreno 225 are equal to the Tegra 3 chip and it's gpu ! You can see the HTC One S vs One X performance comparison !
30. soshi (Posts: 154; Member since: 08 Mar 2012)
In the term of function they not wrong, but for get the attention yes. Sony can steal attention easily because they have brand and design, giving spec will be much better. I hope they make quad core not because I want it but to make their dual core phone cheaper in price
36. whysoserious (Posts: 318; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Definitely. The difference between the number of GS3 or HOX sales compared to Xperia S sales are enough evidence to prove so. Given the fact that the Xperia S was released way ahead of S3 and HOX.

The X Factor's prayers to find Australia's One Direction have been answered, with newly formed boy band The Collective raising the roof with their first major live performance.
Band members Jayden, Julian, Zach, Will and Trent performed their own spin on Jessie J's 'Domino'.
"That probably has to be one of the most exciting performances of the night," judge Mel B said.
"You just showed us how it's done, literally."
"That was the best performance I've seen on The X Factor anywhere in the world," their mentor Ronan Keating said.
It wasn't all good news for Ronan though, during the judges' comments, a member of the audience took a swipe at another group he's mentoring in the competition, shouting, "You s--- on What About Tonight!"
The boys laughed but quickly discouraged the negative comment.

Artist biography
Quinn is often associated with Damien Hirst as one of the founding figures of the 1990s British contemporary art movement. Self (1991, Saatchi Collection, London), a self-portrait head made from his own frozen blood, was first exhibited in 1991 at the Jay Jopling/Grob Gallery and then at the Saatchi Gallery in 1992. At the Tate Gallery in 1995, the artist showed Emotional Detox: The Seven Deadly Sins, a group of seven lead casts of parts of his body which were made using the lost wax method. The pieces are reminiscent of the 'character heads' made by Franz Xaver Messerschmidt in the late eighteenth century. Quinn prefers to use his own body as a primary source, as it is free from the associations of implied relationships: 'the self is what one knows best and least at the same time ... casting the body gives one an opportunity to "see" the self' (conversation with Sean Rainbird, Tate Gallery, 1995).

Time for senior Portadown players to stand up: McFall
Published 16/10/2009
Ronnie McFall wants wins — and he wants them quickly.
His Portadown side have won just twice in 13 league games so far this season and that's nowhere near enough to satisfy the manager.
And he is demanding that his big name players step up to the mark and lift the Ports up the Carling Premiership table.
With Glenavon visiting Shamrock Park for a mid-Ulster derby tomorrow, that would be the perfect time to start a winning run.
"We need points and that's the bottom line," said McFall.
"It's time to start putting results together and so far too many of our senior players haven't turned up.
"There have been times when we have played well and we haven't had that much of a problem scoring goals — particularly at home — but too many times we have shot ourselves in the foot and it's cost us dear."
It looked like the Ports were getting back on track when they hammered Coleraine 4-0 three weeks ago, but since that success they have lost 2-1 to Crusaders and then went down 1-0 to Glentoran at the Oval last weekend.
And that means McFall would be happier if there was a more steady flow of goals.
"It's good to score a few goals in one game, but I would rather we'd score one or two consistently in each match because it's been shown in most of our games that one or two would be enough for us to win them," he said.
"When we get chances we have to take them — that's what the game is all about."
McFall will attempt to knock Glenavon off their lofty perch — currently Marty Quinn's side are second in the league — without two of his most important players.
Wesley Boyle completes an additional two-match suspension which followed on from his sending-off at Ballymena last month and Kevin Braniff joins him on the sidelines after seeing red against Glentoran last Saturday.
It's a situation that has McFall in a rage and he wants to see remedied.
"Boyle and Braniff are two big players for us to have out and it is a big blow not having them in the team," said McFall.
"We had a talk about it at training on Tuesday night and the players have been told that we have to stop picking up red and yellow cards needlessly because before long it results in suspensions."

Firm Diversification and Equilibrium Risk Pooling: The Korean Financial Crisis as a Natural Experiment
Robert T. Masson
Cornell University
Heather Tookes
Yale University - Yale School of Management; Yale University - International Center for Finance
Taejong Um
February 2008
We use the Korean Financial Crisis as a natural laboratory for examining interactions among firm diversification, equilibrium capital structure and tail probability events. When the crisis hit in 1997, several major firms, including a large number of highly leveraged conglomerates (Chaebols), experienced bankruptcies. In a simple model, we show how diversified Chaebols are able to obtain higher levels of equilibrium debt than non-Chaebol firms (ceteris paribus) due to protective effects of cosigners. In the event of an unanticipated shock, the model predicts a systematic change in relative bankruptcy risks of Chaebol firms. To examine this implication, we first estimate a model of equilibrium debt determination for a sample of Korean manufacturing firms for the years 1991-1994. We then introduce a new empirical methodology that allows us to decompose equilibrium debt into demand, supply and Chaebol-specific factors. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms driving the widespread failures, we use decomposed debt to estimate a bankruptcy prediction model for the post-crisis period. Our main finding is that benefits from shared risks may, in fact, lead to shared vulnerability: The primary cause of bankruptcies of Chaebol firms was not idiosyncratic leverage, but instead leverage systematically related to their greater equilibrium access to debt during normal times.

I learned of the death of Christopher Hitchens this morning on Twitter.
I can't remember whose tweet it was, but it plainly read "Rest in Peace, Christopher Hitchens". Driving to work, I couldn't help but think about what we mean when we say those three words upon the news of someone's death.
As someone who loves my Catholic Christian faith, I didn't listen to Hitchens much. We obviously disagree on many aspects, and unlike some of my friends here on Houston Belief (AgLee16 has now become one of my dear friends in real life), if I had the chance to dialogue with Hitchens, I don't think it would have been a charitable, fruitful exchange of perspectives. So, upon hearing of his death this morning, I am a ashamed to admit that I was relieved that his angry anti-religion commentaries will no longer make headlines. Don't get me wrong, I pray that his friends and family find solace in the fact that he is no longer in pain from his cancer. I would never dare rejoice upon news of anyone's death. I realize that many atheists were thankful that somoene put a voice to their sentiments. I just wish that voice had sometimes showed the compassion that he claimed religion lacks.
So, now, the obvious speculation will begin. Is Hitchens in hell? Is he in heaven? Do either exist? What is God's reaction to his passing, or does God even care?
I believe with all my heart that God knit Christopher Hitchens in his mother's womb (Psalm 139:13). I believe that God longs for all of His children to be united with Him. And perhaps that can now happen.
As humans, we are blessed with free will. We have an ongoing journey with the choice to seek God or seek other gods in our life. I believe that Hitchens was seeking God, although he would never want to put that word behind it. As Pope John Paul II said
It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness, he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fulness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.
Nobody can deny that Hitchens was seeking peace and answers. In this world, we are so easily distracted by so much. We resist authority because we want to believe that we know what is best for ourself. We confuse a perfect God with the imperfect people who lead His churches in His name. When the people in our life who claim to represent and share God fail us, we attribute that failure to God Himself.
My prayer for Christopher Hitchens today is that as he leaves behind this world and his mortal body, may he also leave behind the thoughts and ways of our world. I pray that Hitchens finds the eternal peace that we all seek, and I believe that when he meets God, he will be able to experience that grace and peace without the distractions of the world.
As St. Augustine said, "You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
Indeed, Christohper Hitchens, may you rest in peace. And may your family and friends be comforted as they mourn your passing.

The Associated Press
TUNICA, Miss. (AP) — It's safe to say that wrestler will turn heads Saturday when he heads to Tunica for the opening of a museum in his honor. He'll be driving the Batmobile — well, a replica of it anyway.
Lawler, who describes himself as a big Batman fan, tells The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/1c0C4kZ) that he took delivery of the replica on Wednesday.
On Saturday, he'll preside over the opening of the Jerry Lawler Museum at Resorts Casino in Tunica.
Lawler prefers not to say how much he paid for his newest ride, only that it was "considerably less" than the $4.6 million that the original sold for to a private buyer at auction in January.
What he will say is that the full-size replica is drivable, so that's what Lawler plans to do Saturday — drive it to Tunica for the opening of his museum.
And in a way, there's a connection between the two.
"It sort of all comes full circle," Lawler explains. "I've always been a huge fan of Batman and Superman; I even sought out a girlfriend who had a color TV so I could watch Batman in color in the '60s.
"With my interest in art as a kid, I can remember drawing Superman and Batman, and my long-range plan was to work for DC Comics. But then I got sidetracked doing some drawings of wrestlers, and that led to my career in wrestling. In that role, I was at a fan expo signing autographs and met Matt Dollar, a guy from Johnson City, Tenn., who has built several replicas of the Batmobile. He makes the capes, cowls and other things that Adam West (TV's Batman) still uses at appearances. So because of the wrestling, I met Matt and now have the Batmobile."
The delivery of the Batmobile, and the opening of the museum, has made for an exciting week for Lawler.
The museum, filled with memorabilia from Lawler's 43 years of professional wrestling, is in an open area on the second floor of the casino and will be free to visitors. Terms of the agreement call for Lawler to appear for two hours once a month to sign autographs.
For Saturday's official opening, with a ribbon-cutting planned for 1:30 p.m., Lawler will appear from 2 to 4 p.m.
"It's everything," Lawler said of the display. "It's my ring gear, robes, jackets, crowns, championship belts, my WWE Hall of Fame ring and tons of pictures."

JOHNSTOWN - All season long, Bishop Carroll Catholic baseball coach Matt Pfeil has preached taking advantage of other team's mistakes and being patient in the batter's box.
Thursday afternoon at Point Stadium, the seventh-seeded Huskies did just that.
Bishop Carroll played a near flawless game and capitalized on four Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic errors, 10 walks and placed timely hits to rout the 10th-seeded Marauders, 14-4, in five innings in the District 6 Class A playoffs.
"We have been harping on the kids all season in our approaches at the plate," Pfeil said. "We had a rough week last week, dropping all four of our last scheduled games. We just brought it back to the basics, and it paid off.
"They were patient at the plate and drove the ball when they needed to."
Taylor Makin and Josh King both went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored for the Huskies (11-8).
They also had matching RBI doubles in Bishop Carroll's four-run first inning.
"The first inning was big, and we didn't let off the gas," Pfeil said. "That's the thing we've done this season. We've gotten complacent, and today, we weren't complacent."
Tyler Adams and Stefan Beard both hit home runs in the top of the third for the Marauders (8-11), but each were without runners on base, leaving the damage minimal.
Bishop Guilfoyle also scored a pair of runs on T.J. Krol's double in the fifth inning.
Bishop Carroll responded by scoring five in the bottom half of the inning to end the game.
"We chipped away and then just went right back out there and gave it back to them," Bishop Guilfoyle coach Bill Wolf said.
"They scored a couple of runs, and we wanted to get them right back," Pfeil said. "The kids battled and when we needed a hit, they produced."
Huskies starter Ryan Woo scattered six hits and six strikeouts in 4 innings. He also drove in two runs on his game-ending double to left.
"Ryan Woo pitched a gem of a game," Pfeil said. "He got the third strikeout a couple of times when there were runners on."
Pfeil also credited his defense, which forced Guilfoyle to strand eight runners in the game, twice with the bases loaded.
"We made some plays in the field," he said. "We only made one error, and that's big."
As for Wolf, though - he knew his Marauders dug themselves a big hole from the start.
"Errors and walks," Wolf said. "When you get to this level, you can't do that. You can't walk guys and not make plays defensively. You can't win doing that."
Bishop Carroll advances to play second-seeded Portage in the quarterfinals on Monday.
"It's going to be a good game," Pfeil said. "We're looking forward to it."
Game note: Nick Maruca led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a home run for the Huskies. Woo finished 2-for-4 and added a stolen base. Dylan Link drew three walks for Bishop Carroll, while Nick Lassak and Drew McCabe each walked twice. Nate Nardelli walked three times for Bishop Guilfoyle.

Elizabeth Taylor made a low-key return to public life Thursday night with a trip to her favorite watering hole.
In the film legend's first known appearance since she was hospitalized last month, Taylor headed to The Abbey, a popular West Hollywood gay bar.
"She was lively. She was laughing and she was smiling," said one onlooker. "Even if she was not as strong as the last time she was here, she was once again the life of her small party."
Rumors about Taylor's ill health swirled over this summer, with one tabloid reporting that the 76-year-old was on life support. But her publicist denied the claims, calling them "dramatic, overstated and untrue." (Last month, a friend told PEOPLE that Taylor was out of the hospital and "busier than ever".)
Back at the Abbey, the actress held court in a corner of the bar with a sizable martini in hand and four people at her side (one of whom held Daisy, Taylor's Maltese dog).
Before she was wheeled outside, an assistant placed a pair of rhinestone sunglasses on the ever-stylish star.
"She needed help getting into the car," says the witness. "As [they] drove away in this gigantic black sedan, all you could see was those sunglasses and a big smile on her face."

Pakistan authorities have arrested five Americans for possible links to terrorism.
The five men's families all live in the Washington, D.C. Area. Their parents believe their sons made a terrible decision.
"These young Americans are in our custody," said Sargodha police chief Javed Islam. "They are telling us that they came to Pakistan for jihad."

After they disappeared, the FBI discovered a threatening farewell video made by the missing men. The tape was described as showing scenes of war with the message that Muslims must be defended. The U.S.- Muslim community has vowed to work with authorities in the case.
A Virginia Muslim leader told the Associated Press the five men did not seem to have become militant before they left the U.S.
"From all of our interviews, there was no sign they were outwardly radicalized," said Imam Johari Abdul-Malik.
"I have seen that video and I am disturbed by the content of it," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
U.S. officials notified Pakistani authorities, because of concerns the five have been radicalized by Islamic militants.
American intelligence is increasingly worried that al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are trying to recruit Americans who draw less attention when they travel to Pakistan and Afghanistan for training.
In Norway, President Obama declined to comment on the case, but told reporters he appreciates the contributions of the U.S.-Muslim community.
