World Cup Review
Day 9
Saturday. June 17
(All match review are for the official FIFA World Cup Site at yahoo.com or you can go to the offical site at this address: fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/)
GROUP D
Portugal (W= 3 pts.) vs Iran (L= zero pts.)
Portugal became the sixth team assured a place in the Round of 16 at Germany 2006 after second-half goals from Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo secured a 2-0 win against Iran on Saturday, 17 June 2006.
While Portugal were celebrating a second straight win in Group D - and coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's ninth in succession overall in FIFA World Cups™ - Iran were left to reflect on what went wrong after their second defeat confirmed their elimination. After a goalless first half in Frankfurt, Deco broke the deadlock with a long-distance strike in the 63rd minute and Ronaldo sealed the victory from the penalty spot with ten minutes remaining.
Despite battling bravely all the way and showing much to be proud of, Iran's hopes are crushed with one group game still to go. Portugal, while sure of a spot in the Round of 16, are not yet guaranteed first place in the group with a tough final test against second-placed Mexico still to come. Only pride will be at stake for Iran in their final match against Angola.
GROUP E
Czech Republic (W= 3 pts.) vs Ghana (L= zero pts.)
Finally one of the newcomers at this FIFA World Cup™ were able to celebrate a victory as Ghana made history by beating the Czech Republic 2-0 in Cologne on Saturday, 17 June 2006.
Asamoah Gyan and Sulley Muntari scored the goals that gave Ghana their first win on the world stage at the expense of a Czech side who played the closing stages with ten men after Tomas Ujfalusi's dismissal.
Ghana's triumph is the first for any of the debutants at Germany 2006 and also the first for any of the five African finalists. Their victory margin might have been greater had Gyan not struck a penalty against the post in the second half.
Gyan had earlier opened the scoring in the second minute before Sulley Muntari confirmed their success seven minutes from time. However, bookings here mean both scorers, together with Tomas Lokvenc and the dismissed Ujfalusi from the Czech team, will be suspended for their next matches.
Ghana's historic win gives them genuine hope of qualifying for the second round. In their final group game they will play the USA, while the Czechs – disappointing today without strikers Jan Koller and Milan Baros – will hope for better in their showdown with Italy in Hamburg.
GROUP E
Italy (W= 3 pts.) vs United States (L= zero pts.)
Italy moved a point clear at the top of Group E after drawing 1-1 with the USA in an incident-filled match in Kaiserslautern on Saturday, 17 June 2006.
Alberto Gilardino headed Italy into a 22nd-minute lead but their lead last only five minutes until Christian Zaccardo turned the ball into his own net. That was the end of the scoring but a minute later the Azzurri lost Daniele De Rossi to the first of three red cards.
The USA's Pablo Mastroeni also saw red in the 45th minute and Eddie Pope followed suit two minutes into the second half. The result left both sides in contention before their final games, with Italy top on four points and the USA bottom with one.
Italy ended the night top of a very tight Group E, one point ahead of Ghana and the Czech Republic, prior to next week's showdown with the Czechs. The USA kept their hopes of qualification alive after playing almost the entire second half with one man less than the Italians.

News tips, Culture scooped, what have you at culturecitynewstips@yahoo.com
But there is no joy in Mudville ? mighty Casey has struck out
In court, at the Corner, and of all placed at a gig
Today News was about stirking out in three diffence story: One as a local band win in a rotalty disute trial, one final out at the Corner at Michigan and trumbell, and a very unlucky strick out at a befit gig at the stick.
The Big News in detroit Rock City yesterday was the end of rotalty desputie trial angsit the White stirpes brought by Producer and owner of Getto recorders Jim Diamond,
A jury took only 20 mintues for a eight person jury to rule in favor for the White Stripes in a depute between Diamond over Royalty over the first two white stripes Records(1999 self title debut and 2000 "De Stijl"), that mean the stripes dont own any money to diamond who was list as a co-producer on the self-titled debut and a mixer on De stiji.
At issue is the degree of Diamond’s creative contribution to the 1999 and 2000 albums, independent releases that sold nearly 600,000 copies in the wake of the White Stripes’ 2001 international breakout.
Some were suprise at the quickey verict thinking it would go into Friday but the jury While waiting the verict Accoring to the Detroit Free Press there were spoted at a resterrant Near by the courthouse haveing lunch.
In closing arguments Thursday morning, attorneys for the band acknowledged Diamond's technical skills as a recording engineer but equated his role with the White Stripes to that of a carpenter following an original blueprint.
With Jack and Meg White looking on, Los Angeles attorney Bert Deixler told jurors that Diamond’s assertion was akin to the claim-jumping of unscrupulous Old West miners. He argued that Diamond’s engineering work on the records -- microphone placement, reverberation effects, mixing -- did not meet the standard for authorship.
“None of that constitutes originating an original work or causing it to come into being,” Deixler said Thursday in court.
Royal Oak attorney Stephen Wasinger, arguing for Diamond, cited liner notes from the 1999 album “The White Stripes,” in which the band voluntarily gave Diamond a co-producer credit. He called it his client’s most persuasive evidence, from a time period “when credit was more important than money.”
“Mr. Diamond at that time, in that place, was equally talented,” Wasinger told the jury.
Before sending jurors to deliberate, federal judge Avern Cohn patiently walked the eight-person panel through the basics of the notoriously complicated field of copyright law, a field in which he’d earlier acknowledged a lack of experience.
But after the trial jack was not sure if it was going his way Telling the Detroit News "You never know what's going to happen in a trial,"
Mr Diamond was not ablevial for comment, But but Diamond other attorney, Anthony DeLuca say he have noregert of bring the suit, "Mr. Diamond is very disappointed, but he doesn't regret for one minute bringing this lawsuit," DeLuca said. "It's difficult to go up against people with as much fame and money as the White Stripes and power. I give Jim a lot of credit for what he did."
By Late Thursday Night the stripes posted this messages on there web sight:
"This was a classic shakedown. They expected us to settle but we refused to back down. It took the jury less than 20 minutes to figure out what this case was really about.
This decision protects musiciaans and original authers of copyright from opportunists trying to take avantage of hard working, creative artists in the Communtiy.
We are grateful the jury saw through through Diamond's claims and ruled accordingly."
- The White Stripes
The Trial only real highlites was on Tuesday, when Von Bondies front man Jason Stollsteimer who testified about find a message in front a unusual message from White attached to his front door, "I found a note stuck to my door with a knife in it," Under the knife was a copy of a magazine interview in which White felt Stollsteimer slighted him by minimizing the help he gave in producing a Von Bondies album. (2001 Lack of Communication which was co- produce by White and diamond) "That's the last time I help you out," Stollsteimer said the profanity-laced message scrawled across the article said.
White who testified denie that clame was "a laughable lie."
It was the first time that both White and Stollsteimer was in the same room at the same time since the infamous fight on 12-13-03 at the blance show which was reliver in testamony.
So what happend next for all partys involed in the case:
Jack White - is about to goes on tour with his side band "The Raconteurs" (with Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler)in support of there debut "broken Boy Solders" which include the reading and leeds Festial, Lollapalooza and there first Michigan date in Ann Arbor on Aug. 5 that gig is sold out.
Meg White - it is unknow about her futher plans during the Haites from the white strips, but she will pop up on the simptions with jack Next season.
Jim Diamond - it not know if he going to filed appel or not, but he record the new record with the Boston garger band The Charms for a record out soon.
Jason Stollsteimer - is currently working on there new record on a new album, tentatively titled "Love, Hate and Then There's You" to be released in 2006.
But the only buzz around the Trial was found in the Detorit paper web sight (freep.com and detnews.com ) both paper on line sight broke the story as it was going on with the Fre Press posting the story on the jury geting the case at 2:09 PM, with the The News web sight posting the verict at about 2:35 PM with the Free Press updating it shortly there after.
The AP used the News story as there wire story there after with headline like "White Stripes don't have to share royalties with band's former producer: jury" of "White Stripes win royalties case" to E online "Jury Rules for White Stripes" but there was no suppors for diamond in the Bulltin board with posting like this on aversion.com .
Are you insane? Did you even read the article. It was the Von Bondies singer who made that accusation not Jim Diamond.
to
Umm, the Stripes sound bounces around all over the place... and the Von Bondies sound so generic... it seems like absolute bs.
to
This trial is the biggest joke! The white stripes developed there sound long before Jim Diamond came along. Hes not making any money and needs a hand out! I hope Jack and Meg will be laughing about this when its all said and done.
and it appered there was not much of talk in the bars about the case and the detroit media aggerd with them WWJ-AM 1st mention the story shortly after 4:30 PM, And WXYZ-TV put the story 2nd in there 5:30 PM half-hour at 5:31 PM but it was a mention with the main Local local story on the top of the newscast begin Closing Arguments in Mark Unger Murder Trial, Shooting Outside Pershing High School, Officer's Machine Gun Stolen from Vehicle and City to Announce Tiger Stadium Plans.
Which is the second story that top both paper today with headline like Tiger Stadium: It's history in the free press and and Going, going, gone! in the Detroit News but it look like the end is near for the Ballpark at the corner at Michigan and Trumbull, It look like the old ballpark will torn down begin in the fall to make way for Residential and retail development at the corner, Plans call for the selling off what let to offset demolition cost which will cost around $3 to $6 millions dollars that will start around the fall only a tiny portion of the stadium structure may be saved for a Corktown welcome center and the field will be used for a park and little league baseball and Residential and retail development around the field at the corner.
The stauimd have not been used since the tigers move to Comerica Park in 2000 they played there last game Sept. 27, 1999 and have not been used since then the stauiem have been fall apart since then with paint peeling off and weeds growing in the the stai which is a sad sight.
So this could be a long good by in the summer untill the fall so get your camera and take one last picture of the conrer.
And the last stirke out of the main story was last night at the stick for The Karma Kickback Benefit for Eugene Machine (who tring pay for Hospial bill for appendix removal surgery and a car crash this year) and i know you are asking youself this question who stuck out at the event.
It Was Me.
Before i got out the house last night i ate a slice of pizza and left 15 mintues after that on my way to the stick i fell a little bit ill my socmict was turning so bad and and i was trap with no bath room in sight when i got to the stick at about 8:45 PM and thing going fine but during the last song from Molly Jean who look lovely and sweet i went to the bathroom i stool that for about 25 mintues and and i came back to see the the tale end of PA a few set later i became ill aging and became volent ill, Laura Rock the bartender and lead singer of the black lincons check up on me to see i was OK which i was i think i could tought it out but after the surciery peoson near that doors thinking i was asleep (which is a no-no at any bar) TERI LYNN from Troy Gregory and the Stepsisters call a cab so it could take me Home at at about 11:45 PM,
Not counting the early show at the stick or st.andrew Hall it was the earlest depart time i left ever and i miss the rest of the show at the stick just before The Na$hinal Debt, lead by E6 John Nash debbut show, so i am sorry i miss the rest of the show.

Young God Records' hirsute heroes Akron/Family have a new "mini-album" ready for September release titled Meek Warrior. According to Family member Seth Olinsky, the Brooklyn-based band recorded the album primarily in Chicago in March, using material that was "interwoven on the road, in hotels and the van the few weeks prior to the studio time" while "freezing in the wintery hinderlands [sic] of middle Canada wheezing with bronchitis." Additionally, they stopped by Toronto for an a.m. home recording session with members of Do Make Say Think/Broken Social Scene and spent a few days working on the album in Brooklyn. Among other guests, the album features Hamid Drake, free-jazz drummer extraordinaire, whom the band accessed by recording in Chicago. According to Olinsky, the band "taught [the songs] to Hamid in the studio and recorded them in one or two takes." Michael Gira, ex-Swans leader and Young God founder, produced the record with the band, and Griffin Rodriguez (Need New Body, Icy Demons) engineered it.
The rambling Family plans to continue their travels with a few shows in Canada, including the Montreal Pop Festival and a West Coast sojourn in December.
Remarkably, the busy band also reports that plans are in the works to start in on another album by October or November.(CMJ.COM)

But the only buzz around the Trial was found in the Detorit paper web sight (freep.com and detnews.com ) both paper on line sight broke the story as it was going on with the Fre Press posting the story on the jury geting the case at 2:09 PM, with the The News web sight posting the verict at about 2:35 PM with the Free Press updating it shortly there after.
The AP used the News story as there wire story there after with headline like "White Stripes don't have to share royalties with band's former producer: jury" of "White Stripes win royalties case" to E online "Jury Rules for White Stripes" but there was no suppors for diamond in the Bulltin board with posting like this on aversion.com .
Are you insane? Did you even read the article. It was the Von Bondies singer who made that accusation not Jim Diamond.
to
Umm, the Stripes sound bounces around all over the place... and the Von Bondies sound so generic... it seems like absolute bs.
to
This trial is the biggest joke! The white stripes developed there sound long before Jim Diamond came along. Hes not making any money and needs a hand out! I hope Jack and Meg will be laughing about this when its all said and done.
and it appered there was not much of talk in the bars about the case and the detroit media aggerd with them WWJ-AM 1st mention the story shortly after 4:30 PM, And WXYZ-TV put the story 2nd in there 5:30 PM half-hour at 5:31 PM but it was a mention with the main Local local story on the top of the newscast begin Closing Arguments in Mark Unger Murder Trial, Shooting Outside Pershing High School, Officer's Machine Gun Stolen from Vehicle and City to Announce Tiger Stadium Plans.
Which is the second story that top both paper today with headline like Tiger Stadium: It's history in the free press and and Going, going, gone! in the Detroit News but it look like the end is near for the Ballpark at the corner at Michigan and Trumbull, It look like the old ballpark will torn down begin in the fall to make way for Residential and retail development at the corner, Plans call for the selling off what let to offset demolition cost which will cost around $3 to $6 millions dollars that will start around the fall only a tiny portion of the stadium structure may be saved for a Corktown welcome center and the field will be used for a park and little league baseball and Residential and retail development around the field at the corner.
The stauimd have not been used since the tigers move to Comerica Park in 2000 they played there last game Sept. 27, 1999 and have not been used since then the stauiem have been fall apart since then with paint peeling off and weeds growing in the the stai which is a sad sight.
So this could be a long good by in the summer untill the fall so get your camera and take one last picture of the conrer.
And the last stirke out of the main story was last night at the stick for The Karma Kickback Benefit for Eugene Machine (who tring pay for Hospial bill for appendix removal surgery and a car crash this year) and i know you are asking youself this question who stuck out at the event.

Young God Records' hirsute heroes Akron/Family have a new "mini-album" ready for September release titled Meek Warrior. According to Family member Seth Olinsky, the Brooklyn-based band recorded the album primarily in Chicago in March, using material that was "interwoven on the road, in hotels and the van the few weeks prior to the studio time" while "freezing in the wintery hinderlands [sic] of middle Canada wheezing with bronchitis." Additionally, they stopped by Toronto for an a.m. home recording session with members of Do Make Say Think/Broken Social Scene and spent a few days working on the album in Brooklyn. Among other guests, the album features Hamid Drake, free-jazz drummer extraordinaire, whom the band accessed by recording in Chicago. According to Olinsky, the band "taught [the songs] to Hamid in the studio and recorded them in one or two takes." Michael Gira, ex-Swans leader and Young God founder, produced the record with the band, and Griffin Rodriguez (Need New Body, Icy Demons) engineered it.
The rambling Family plans to continue their travels with a few shows in Canada, including the Montreal Pop Festival and a West Coast sojourn in December.
Remarkably, the busy band also reports that plans are in the works to start in on another album by October or November.(CMJ.COM)

World Cup Review
Day 8
Friday, June 16
all the Match review are from the Offical world cup site on yahoo.com on http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/
GROUP C
Argentina (W=3pts.) v Serbia & Montenegro (L=zero pts.)
Argentina gave a fearsome show of attacking strength as they swept aside Group C rivals Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 in Gelsenkirchen on Friday, 16 June 2006.
Jose Pekerman's team equalled their record FIFA World Cup™ win against Peru from 1978 against opponents they had, coincidentally, dismantled by the same score at the 2004 Olympic Football Tournament. More importantly, the victory took them a big step closer to the second round, while leaving Serbia and Montenegro’s hopes hanging by a thread.
The flow of goals began in the sixth minute with Maxi Rodriguez and after Esteban Cambiasso had doubled the lead in the 31st minute, Rodriguez struck again to make it 3-0 ten minutes later. There was no respite for Serbia and Montenegro after the break as, following the dismissal of Mateja Kezman, Hernan Crespo hit Argentina's fourth in the 78th minute. Substitutes Carlos Tevez (84') and Lionel Messi (88') completed the scoring in the final ten minutes.
If anyone doubted Argentina's credentials, they can doubt no more. As for Serbia and Montenegro, this ‘nightmare group’ has become just that.
GROUP C
Netherlands (W=3 pts.)v Ivory Coast (L=zero pts.)
The Netherlands booked their place in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup™ as goals from Robin van Persie and Ruud van Nistelrooij earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Côte d'Ivoire in Stuttgart on Friday, 16 June 2006.
Their second win in Group C means the Dutch advanced with a game to spare, along with Argentina who also have six points after beating Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 earlier in the day. Côte d'Ivoire, like the Serbo-Montenegrins, can go no further in this tournament but they certainly pushed the Dutch all the way.
After Van Persie's 23rd-minute free-kick opener, Van Nistelrooij doubled the Dutch lead four minutes later but the Ivorians hit back through a spectacular Bakary Kone effort and threatened an equaliser on more than one occasion.
With this second win by the narrowest of margins, the Netherlands advance to the last 16 alongside Argentina. Debutants Côte d'Ivoire put on another fine show but when they travel home after their final match against Serbia and Montenegro they will reflect on the costly goals conceded early in their first two games.
GROUP D
Mexico (W=3pts) v Angola (L=zero pts)
A brave performance from ten-man Angola saw them hold Mexico to a goalless draw in their Group D meeting in Hanover on Friday, 16 June 2006.
Angola, who lie 53 places below El Tri in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, frustrated the Mexicans due to a combination of some resolute defending and some superb goalkeeping from Joao Ricardo.
The Palancas Negras' task was made even harder when they had Andre sent off in the 79th minute, but the African side held firm to register their first ever point in the FIFA World Cup™ finals.
Angola collected their first ever FIFA World Cup point with a courageous display and still have a chance of making the second round. Despite creating few clear chances, Mexico, on four points, are nevertheless well positioned to qualify with the fixture against Portugal still to play.

Jack Black play a cook by day an a librador by by night in new film, maybe he should stick playing a goofball with a guitar form the review i reading,
Nacoh Libre relies on Cheesy Gas say the Free press in there 2 stars review
'Nacho' is nothing but bland cheese say the detroit news as it a D
and the yahoo reviews where not that kind as well giving a avg of a C+ with review like this:
Entertainment Weekly (D+)"It's a comedy made by people who seem to think they're doing more than they're doing which is making a mildly offbeat Adam Sandler comedy..."
E! Online (C)"It just sits there, making you wish Pedro or Uncle Rico would blast into the scene and make something happen. Tragically, they don't."
at least it got good reviews
filmcrtic.com (B-) "Did Nacho make me laugh while I was in the theater? Certainly. And for a comedy, what more can we expect?"
and
Chicago Tribune (B-)"...easy to take and easy to forget, even with Black running around Oaxaca in turquoise wrestling tights."
at least Ebert is right
Roger Ebert (C-)"It takes some doing to make a Jack Black comedy that doesn't work. But Nacho Libre does it."
The Lake House
For the first time since 1994 Speed, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are in a movie together by it a love story that is two years apart for the crather it look like the reviews may have a time lapse while watching this film.
The free press gave it 2 stars, The News gave it a D calling it 'Lake House' sinks, Dumb plot disables attempts at believable love or emotional impact. the yahoo reviews were forgettable as it give a avg of a C+
Hollywood Reporter (D) "A time-lapse love story that never jells."
E! Online (C) "Bullock and Reeves have appealing chemistry and some nice tearjerker moments, but audiences should speed by this House on their way elsewhere."
But the Script is better for something else
filmcritic.com (C) "...the type of film that could make a fantastic half hour episode of The Twilight Zone..."
But at least ebert like it
Roger Ebert (A-) "What I respond to in the movie is its fundamental romantic impulse."
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
On a trip to England, beloved fat cat Garfield (voiced by Bill Murray) is mistaken for another tabby who inherited a castle, i think they want to be there own kitty after seeing this film
Free Press: 'Two Kitties': A lazy cat in a lazy movie (2 stars out of four)
The yahoo reviewers have more fun with there cat than the a big cats in this film with a avg. of a C+
E! Online (D) "Cat fanciers and five-year-olds will have a great time, but everyone else will likely find themselves wishing they'd buried this one in the litter box."
Hollywood Reporter (D) "The indignities are as enormous as the food bills..."
and
USA Today (C)"...comes off like a coughed-up furball: a wan rehash with too many elements of the hard-to-swallow 2004 original."
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

The Detroit Critct like it, The Free press gave it 3 out fo 4 saying is faster and more fun, the News say What a gas!,'Tokyo Drift' is a supercharged vehicle for wildly imaginative racing as it gave a B, the the yahoo reviewer was not that kind

And finaly Sketches of Frank Gehey
Frank Gehry is that rare kind of architect who has garnered both critical acclaim and popular recognition. His designs dramatically blur the line between art and architecture; his sketches and models are the basis for dynamic structures and unpredictable interiors. Gehry's friend, Sidney Pollack, directs this film; akin in nature to Gehry's own impromptu, free-hand style, the two men appear on film...
most of the reviewer like the film The free Press gave it 3 out of 4 the yahoo reviers even like it giving it a avg. of B+
Entertainment Weekly (B+) "...danged if the seductive documentary...doesn't come to resemble a Gehry building itself, all brash, eye-catching, a tad vain, and attractively neurotic."

World Cup Review
Day 7
Thursday, June 15
Once aging on assingment aging in Detoit Rock City, So the as in the last two days all of today match summary are from the Offical FIFA World cup sight on yahoo.com
GROUP A
Ecuador (W=3 Pts.) vs Costa Rica (L= zero pts.)
Ecuador made history by beating Costa Rica 3-0 in Hamburg to qualify for the knockout rounds of the FIFA World Cup™ for the first time
Carlos Tenorio, Agustin Delgado and Ivan Kaviedes scored the goals that secured the South Americans' progress from Group A. Their victory means that they and hosts Germany become the first two teams to book their places in the last 16 - and ends Costa Rica and Poland's hopes of advancing.
Luis Suarez's men did not look back after taking an eight-minute lead through Tenorio's header. Delgado doubled the advantage with a fine near-post finish on 54 minutes and Ivan Kaviedes volleyed the third goal two minutes into added time.
The victory sees Ecuador and Germany become the first two teams assured of spots in the second round of these finals. It is a historic moment for the Ecuadorians on only their second appearance on the world stage.
GROUP B
England (W=3Pts) vs Trinidad & Tobago (D=1 pt.)
England secured their place in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup™ with a 2-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago but they left it late before striking through Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard
Crouch broke the deadlock in Nuremberg with a headed goal in the 83rd minute and his Liverpool team-mate Gerrard added a superb second in the 91st minute. England, who welcomed back Wayne Rooney as a second-half substitute, have taken six points from their two Group B matches while Trinidad and Tobago remain on one point.
England took their time to see off Trinidad and Tobago, but two late goals mean that, as against Paraguay, they did what they had to do. As for T&T, they emerged with huge credit, if no points, for giving Eriksson's side such a scare.
GO ENGLAND GO
GROUP B
Sweden (D=1pt.)vs Paraguay (L=zero pts.)
Freddie Ljungberg's 88th-minute header earned Sweden a 1-0 victory over Paraguay.
Ljungberg's strike leaves the Scandinavians strongly positioned to take second place in Group B, three points above Trinidad and Tobago going into their game against leaders England. For Paraguay, however, the late goal spelt heartbreak, ending their hopes of progressing to the second round.
After a performance not dissimilar to that in their opening game, Sweden conjured up their first goal at these finals to secure their first win. While they are now clear favourites to join England in the second round, Paraguay, who again defended bravely without really looking threatening in attack, will make an early exit after their final match against Trinidad and Tobago.

White Stripes win lawsuit over royalties
Paul Egan / The Detroit News
DETROIT -- The Detroit garage rock band the White Stripes does not have to share royalties from the band's first two albums with a city record producer, a federal court jury ruled today.
The jury rejected claims from Jim Diamond of Ghetto Recorders that he held co-authorship and deserved a share of royalties from the band's self-titled debut album in 1999 and its second album, "De Stijl," released in 2000.
Lead singer Jack White said outside court he was pleased with the verdict and admitted he was a little worried the jury would go the other way.
"You never know what's going to happen in a trial," said White.
Bert Deixler, White's California attorney, told the jury Diamond acted as a technician who did what White told him to do inside the sound studio and was paid $35 an hour for his services.
Diamond "manufactured these claims … only after the Whites became successful," Deixler said in reference to Jack and Meg White, the Grammy-award-winning band's only two members. "Money changes everything."
Diamond's attorney, Stephen Wasinger, argued White agreed to list Diamond as a co-producer on the debut album but "Jack White changed his position once Jack White and Megan White realized there was money to be made from these records."

Studio owner loses lawsuit against White Stripes
June 15, 2006
Email this Print this BY BRIAN MCCOLLUM
FREE PRESS POP MUSIC WRITER
A jury ruled in favor of the White Stripes Thursday afternoon in a civil case involving ownership of the group’s earliest work.
The eight-member panel deliberated just 20 minutes before returning its verdict in Detroit federal court, rejecting claims by studio owner Jim Diamond that he deserved part ownership of copyrights for the band’s first two albums.
In addition to back payments Diamond could have received with a favorable ruling, the case involved credit and recognition for the creation of the White Stripes’ music, a signature sound closely linked to the modern revival of Detroit rock.
Attorneys for the White Stripes had argued that Diamond’s engineering work on the records -- microphone placement, reverberation effects, mixing -- did not meet the standards necessary to claim co-authorship. In closing arguments Thursday morning, they equated his role to that of a carpenter following an original blueprint.
“The White Stripes” and “De Stijl,” recorded at Diamond’s Ghetto Recorders studio in 1999 and 2000, sold nearly 600,000 total copies in the wake of the White Stripes’ international breakout in 2001.
With Jack and Meg White looking on, Los Angeles attorney Bert Deixler told jurors that Diamond’s assertion was akin to the claim-jumping of unscrupulous Old West miners. He argued that Diamond’s engineering work on the records did not meet the standard for authorship.
“None of that constitutes originating an original work or causing it to come into being,” Deixler said Thursday in court.
Royal Oak attorney Stephen Wasinger, arguing for Diamond, cited liner notes from the 1999 album “The White Stripes,” in which the band voluntarily gave Diamond a co-producer credit. He called it his client’s most persuasive evidence, from a time period “when credit was more important than money.”
“Mr. Diamond at that time, in that place, was equally talented,” Wasinger told the jury.
Before sending jurors to deliberate, federal judge Avern Cohn patiently walked the eight-person panel through the basics of the notoriously complicated field of copyright law, a field in which he’d earlier acknowledged a lack of experience.
But jurors apparently encountered little trouble navigating the case, delivering its decision far more quickly than many onlookers expected. Jack and Meg White were still eating lunch nearby in downtown Detroit when word came that the jury was set to return to the courtroom shortly after 2 p.m.

THE WHITE/DIAMOND ROALYEY DISPUTE GOES TO THE JURY
The Detroit Free Press web sight at 2:08 PM is reporting that Jury have got the case in a royalty despuite between the Lead singer of the white stripes and the racoutues Jack White and Local producer Jim Diamond.
Jurors at federal court in Detroit heard closing arguments Thursday morning from attorneys in the case, in which studio owner Jim Diamond is suing rockers Jack and Meg White for part ownership of copyrights in the group’s first two albums.
At issue is the degree of Diamond’s creative contribution to the 1999 and 2000 albums, independent releases that sold nearly 600,000 copies in the wake of the White Stripes’ 2001 international breakout.

Jurors would continue deliberations Friday morning if a verdict was not reached Thursday afternoon.
there have been lack of fire work in the trial but the only real drama was on Tuesday where Von Bondies Lead singer Jason Stollsteimer and White were fored in rehashing about there famoue brawl at the Magic Stick on Dec.13 2003 where Stollsteimer testified about finding a message he said was from White. "I found a note stuck to my door with a knife in it," Stollsteimer told the jury.
The knife held up a magazine interview in which White allegedly thought Stollsteimer slighted him by minimizing his role in producing a Von Bondies album. The article, Stollsteimer said, had written across it: "That's the last … time I help you out." Earlier, White said it was "a laughable lie" that he stuck a knife in Stollsteimer's door.
When asked in court if he remembered threatening to ruin Diamond's career in the music industry if he went forward with the suit, the Detroit News quoted White as replying, "I believe I said this was going to ruin his reputation, if he did something like this."
Also on Tuesday, Meg White also took the stand and testified that though Diamond is listed as a co-producer on the band's first album, he should not have been and that Jack White deserved all the credit for producing the album.

Day 6
Wednesday, June 14
Today it was mid week erron get the mid-week pubacation so just like yesterday the match summary are from the offical FIFA world cup site from yahoo.com or you can go to this sight http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/
GROUP G (Match One)
Spain v Ukraine
Spain made a dream start to their 2006 FIFA World Cup™ campaign with a 4-0 victory over Group H rivals Ukraine in Leipzig on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Having waited as long as any team to get their campaign under way, Spain raced out of the starting blocks and were two goals in front inside 17 minutes as Xabi Alonso headed a 13th-minute opener before David Villa doubled the advantage.
If Ukraine thought things could not get any worse they were wrong as they lost Vladyslav Vashchuk to a red card just two minutes into the second half after conceding a penalty for a challenge on Fernando Torres. Villa tucked away the spot-kick and Torres completed the scoring with a spectacular half-volley with nine minutes remaining.
For just the second time since 1950, 12-times finalists Spain opened their FIFA World Cup campaign with a win. This was a comprehensive and impressive victory against first-timers Ukraine and should fill Luis Aragones's side with confidence. Ukraine's defeat means not one of the teams competing in the FIFA World Cup for the first time has yet managed a win.
GROUP G (Match One)
Tunisia v Saudi Arabia
An injury-time header from Radhi Jaidi rescued a point for Tunisia as they drew 2-2 with Group H rivals Saudi Arabia in Munich on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Jaidi struck two minutes into added time just as Saudi Arabia were contemplating a fine comeback victory. Trailing to Zied Jaziri's 23rd-minute goal, the Saudis drew level through Yasser Al Kahtani's fine near-post finish in the 57th minute and then thought they had taken all three points with substitute Sami Al Jaber completed a sweeping move with a cool finish six minutes from time.
A point a piece for Tunisia and Saudi Arabia after an exciting encounter which both sides will argue they should have won. Spain's 4-0 victory over Ukraine earlier means both teams will fancy their chances of making the second round.
GROUP A (Match Two)
Germany (W=3pts.)v Poland (L=0 pts.)
last-gasp goal from substitute Oliver Neuville gave Germany their second successive Group A victory against Poland in Dortmund on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Germany, who had been frustrated for the vast majority of the match through a combination of poor finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Artur Boruc, were grateful when the Borussia Monchengladbach man side-footed home in the first minute of added time.
The result does not guarantee the hosts qualification for the Round of 16, but it leaves them with one foot in the knockout stages.
Germany left it as late as possible to claim the three points and Poland can count themselves unlucky after holding them at bay for so long as the result matched the score when the teams met in the 1974 FIFA World Cup™ semi-final.
Not counting the Germany/Poland game to wrap up the day ever team have played one match in the world cup group stage, so here how things look after on match in the world cup group stage.

Von Bondies testified in the royalties lawsuit,
12-13-03 Brawl revisited in testimony
The Big story in Culture City today happened yesterday, and I misread the story I posted on Monday(6/14 - 18 Days until Tastefest post)as yesterday testimony begin in the civil lawsuit over royalties from the first two white stripes alblum brought by producer Jim Diamond.
For those of you who do not follow Detroit rock music scence back in 2004 Jim Diamond, Owner of Ghetto Recorders sue the lead singer of the white stripe over back royalties over the first two white Stripes Alblum (1999 self title album debut(where he list as a co-producer and 2000 "De Stijl," (where he listed as a sound mixer)).
The trial (which will last for a week) was held in the courtroom U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn in the US District Court of easten Michigan in Downtown Detroit, Jack White came to court where in wore a black pinstripe suit, black shirt, black tie and a black fedora with a tiny red feather in it.
both white strips and Von Bondies front man Jason Stollsteimer, yes the same Jason Stollsteimer who back on that unfornaite day back on December 13, 2003 Brawl in one of the most infamous fight in Detroit Rock history that when Both Jack and Jason brawl in front of the stage at the Magic Stick during the CD release party for Blance.
Both men testified about the fight in court yesterday Stollsteimer told about finding an unusual message from White attached to his front door, "I found a note stuck to my door with a knife in it," Under the knife was a copy of a magazine interview in which White felt Stollsteimer slighted him by minimizing the help he gave in producing a Von Bondies album. (2001 Lack of Communication which was co- produce by White and diamond) "That's the last time I help you out," Stollsteimer said the profanity-laced message scrawled across the article said.
Earlier, in his own testimony, White said the idea that he stuck a knife in Stollsteimer's door was "a laughable lie."
Stollsteimer also testified the Message came two years before that infamous attack on 12-13-03 in Stollsteimer was watching the performance when he was approached by White. White attempted to speak with him; when Stollsteimer refused to talk, White spat in his face. Stollsteimer was then pushed to the floor and received seven punches to his right eye. White say later on He only punch him once
and white still keep his clam "We fought each other," White said in his testimony. "I claimed he pulled my hair out and was punching me."
White pleaded guilty in 2004 to misdemeanor assault and battery in connection with the incident.
Much of the that although the first album listed Diamond as co-producer, he really was not, and credit for producing belonged solely to Jack White. Diamond was paid $35 an hour for his work on the first album, which is all he was owed, she testifiedlittle direct relevance to the lawsuit, Asked if he recalled telling Diamond he would ruin his reputation in the music industry if he brought the lawsuit, White testified: "I believe I said this was going to ruin his reputation, if he did something like this."
Stripes Drummer Meg White also testified yesterday that although the first album listed Diamond as co-producer, he really was not, and credit for producing belonged solely to Jack White. Diamond was paid $35 an hour for his work on the first album, which is all he was owed, she testified

World Cup Review
Day 5
June 13th
Well i was busy doing other thing with my blog sight so i did not do my report so here a brief match game report from the office FIFA world cup sight from yahoo.com
GROUP G
South Korea vs Togo
Ahn Jung-Hwan turned back the clock four years with a spectacular winning goal as Korea Republic came from behind for a 2-1 victory over ten-man Togo in their opening Group G match in Frankfurt on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
Surprise semi-finalists in 2002, the South Koreans looked like they might suffer a taste of their own medicine when Togo, on their FIFA World Cup debut, took a 31st-minute lead through Mohamed Kader.
But after Jean-Paul Abalo's 53rd-minute dismissal, Lee Chun-Soo swept home the ensuing free-kick 60 seconds later before Ahn revived memories of his extra-time winner against Italy in 2002 with Korea Republic's second goal 18 minutes from time.
Korea Republic chalk up their first-ever FIFA World Cup win outside of Asia with a spirited second-half fightback. Credit to first-timers Togo, though, for putting their pre-finals problems behind them to push the Koreans all the way.
GROUP G
France v Switzerland
There was once again no separating France and Switzerland as they played out a goalless draw in their opening 2006 FIFA World Cup™ match in Stuttgart on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
The Group G rivals drew both their meetings in the European qualifying round and recent history repeated itself here in a match of few clear-cut scoring opportunities. The closest either side came was when Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta's free-kick bounced back off a post and Alexander Frei failed to convert the rebound.
The Stuttgart stalemate leaves the European neighbours two points beneath the early group leaders Korea Republic, 2-1 winners over Togo earlier in the day. It also leaves France without a FIFA World Cup goal in the four finals matches they have contested since winning the Trophy in 1998.
With a point apiece, both sides will be reasonably pleased even if Korea Republic, for the time being at least, sit top of the group. It is the Koreans who are up next for France on 18 June while Switzerland - who have kept their first clean sheet in 23 FIFA World Cup matches - will tangle with Togo the day after.
GROUP F
Brazil vs Croatia
Brazil defeated European challengers Croatia 1-0 in an enthralling Group F encounter in Berlin on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
The current holders of the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy and their legions of colourful fans provided entertainment both on and off the pitch but they were made to work hard for their victory by a well-organised Croatia side.
After both sides enjoyed a series of half-chances, the goal which proved to be decisive was of the highest order. A minute before the interval, AC Milan midfielder Kaka curled a left-footed shot past Stipe Pletikosa and into the top left-hand corner of the net.
The win gave Brazil their eighth consecutive success in FIFA World Cup™ matches, a new record, and how fitting that it was delivered by the wearer of the Seleção's No.8 shirt.
A winning start for the Seleção, but they were made to fight every inch of the way by a spirited Croatian side who ensured that while Brazil functioned smoothly in parts, they were unable to relax until the final whistle.

GROUP F
Australia v Japan
I Miss the 1st 30 Mintues of the Match so i am little off track so insaid of my take off this match i going to put the wire copie of this match.
Sorry i was up untill 4:15 am this Morning finsh up a couple of post(Yesterday world cup Report and the gig guied, Because the person who i shared this comput was spening too much time find unclame cash on the inter net and eat up my time big time.
(From FIFA world cup site on yahoo.com)
Substitute Tim Cahill was the hero for Australia as the Socceroos scored three times in eight minutes to beat Japan 3-1 in Kaiserslautern and record both their first goals and their first ever win in FIFA World Cup™ finals history on Monday, 12 June 2006.
Trailing at half-time to Shunsuke Nakamura's 26th-minute goal, the opening Group F match turned on its head with the arrival of Cahill. He equalised with a close-range strike in the 84th minute and then fired a spectacular second in the 89th before striker John Aloisi put the icing on the cake two minutes into added time.
(Ed.) I saw all three goals and it was amazing to see a team who have not score any world Cup goals or even win a match pull the Upset as they pull defeat or even a draw in a big time win thank to a great Substitute and now even the Aussie are a long shot to win the whole thing Cahill will be a Hero.
GROUP E

USA vs the Czech in one of the good match up that feather a USA team who want to prove that that there amzing run that put them in to the quarer-final before falling to Germany, On the other hand the Czech Republic are hugh fave to go far in the world cup rank high as No.2 in the FIFA World ranking (Brila No.1 from FIFA).
As the two teams goes on the pitch the hopes and Dream of both country hoping to goes far inthe world Cup as tghe Chezh hoped to prove there No.2 Ranking while the the stars and stripes prove that four year ago was no joke.
Afher a few mintues of good shot the Czech stirke first from a beauful header for Jan Koller of a nice pass from Zdenek Grygera to show why there the Numbers two team in the World to put them adhead 1-0.
The US tried to get the got to pull even but they cant pull thre trick with chance from Booby Convey,Eddie Pope and Brian Mcbride, The Czhec tried to go up 2-0 but the header by Defender Zdenek Grygera when over the goal.
The US Almost got it on even level whenb a sure Claudio Reyna goal from 25-yards out hit the left goal post as the tied goal is still elsued them as they tried to get back this game.
But Czhec got there second Goal of the Game with a sceamer by Tomas Rosicky that past ture US Goalkeepers to put the US down 2-0 and put the US down in a big hole Big time, And then in the 43rd Mintues Jan Keller fell Awkwardlly and injerd what is look lihe his Knee which could be a big blow if his is miss the rest of the tourny that could not happen at a worst time as the Czech goes up 2-0 at half time.
both teams was keeping the game at a even pace but it pick up as Marek to make it 3-0 but it was stoped by of a good takle from Pope and then Tomas Rosicky rocket off the crossbar.
The US had it chance when Landon Donovan put a pass for Eddie Johnson but the Czhes goalie Petr Cech was on the ball to stop that on and then the Czech came back the other side and wrap it up with a break away goal by Rosicky to put this game out of reach with a 3 - nil.
As Final wishle Sound the Czhec despie the loss of Koller show the why they are Number two in the world with a good three - zreo win, For the US it what now as they face a really must win game vs Italy on Saturday
Note: at the begin of the second half Jan Koller who went down was seen limping into the side line giveing the thumbs up he will be OK but heis ablivalb for the next match vs Gauna in unknown.

The second half start was a feeling out proseec but the second half burst out with Totti great pass to Alberto Gilardinobut ghana goalkeeper stopit it his legs a good effor indeed, a few mintues later Michael Essien shot on the other end for ghana but was stoped by italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon.
The Itallin almost made it 2- nil when simone got a pass and did some fancy foot work for goal but Richard Kingson had a ahnd in the save.

(From FIFA world cup site on yahoo.com)
Substitute Tim Cahill was the hero for Australia as the Socceroos scored three times in eight minutes to beat Japan 3-1 in Kaiserslautern and record both their first goals and their first ever win in FIFA World Cup™ finals history on Monday, 12 June 2006.
Trailing at half-time to Shunsuke Nakamura's 26th-minute goal, the opening Group F match turned on its head with the arrival of Cahill. He equalised with a close-range strike in the 84th minute and then fired a spectacular second in the 89th before striker John Aloisi put the icing on the cake two minutes into added time.
(Ed.) I saw all three goals and it was amazing to see a team who have not score any world Cup goals or even win a match pull the Upset as they pull defeat or even a draw in a big time win thank to a great Substitute and now even the Aussie are a long shot to win the whole thing Cahill will be a Hero.

USA vs the Czech in one of the good match up that feather a USA team who want to prove that that there amzing run that put them in to the quarer-final before falling to Germany, On the other hand the Czech Republic are hugh fave to go far in the world cup rank high as No.2 in the FIFA World ranking (Brila No.1 from FIFA).
As the two teams goes on the pitch the hopes and Dream of both country hoping to goes far inthe world Cup as tghe Chezh hoped to prove there No.2 Ranking while the the stars and stripes prove that four year ago was no joke.
Afher a few mintues of good shot the Czech stirke first from a beauful header for Jan Koller of a nice pass from Zdenek Grygera to show why there the Numbers two team in the World to put them adhead 1-0.
The US tried to get the got to pull even but they cant pull thre trick with chance from Booby Convey,Eddie Pope and Brian Mcbride, The Czhec tried to go up 2-0 but the header by Defender Zdenek Grygera when over the goal.
The US Almost got it on even level whenb a sure Claudio Reyna goal from 25-yards out hit the left goal post as the tied goal is still elsued them as they tried to get back this game.
But Czhec got there second Goal of the Game with a sceamer by Tomas Rosicky that past ture US Goalkeepers to put the US down 2-0 and put the US down in a big hole Big time, And then in the 43rd Mintues Jan Keller fell Awkwardlly and injerd what is look lihe his Knee which could be a big blow if his is miss the rest of the tourny that could not happen at a worst time as the Czech goes up 2-0 at half time.
