World Cup Review
Day 10
Sunday, June 18
From Now untill the end of group play, all match review will be from the official FIFA World Cup Site at yahoo.com or at this address fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/ for more Info
Group F
Japan (L= zero pts.)vs Croatia (L= zero pts)
It was a story of frustration for Japan and Croatia as they played out a goalless draw in Nuremberg on Sunday, 18 June 2006.
The pivotal moment of the match came in the 22nd minute when Japan goalkeeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi saved Darijo Srna's penalty, although Croatia were also breathing a sigh of relief when Atsushi Yanagisawa missed when it seemed easier to score early in the second half.
The result left Japan rooted to the foot of Group F with one point and Croatia ahead only on goal difference in third place. It will hardly help the mood in either camp that both teams will be without key players for their third matches after Japan captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and Croatia's Robert Kovac collected their second yellow cards of the tournament.
This stalemate does neither side any favours but will be welcomed warmly in the Brazil and Australia camps.
Group F
Brazil(W= 3 pts.)vs Australia (W= 3 Pts.)
Brazil booked their place in the Round of 16 after overcoming a tough challenge from Australia with a 2-0 win in Munich on Sunday, 18 June 2006.
The FIFA World Cup™ holders took the lead four minutes into the second half through Adriano but they had to survive one or two nervy moments before substitute Fred sealed the victory with a tap-in in the 90th minute. Brazil's second Group F win secured their advance to the second round with a game to spare, while Australia are well poised to join them, holding a two-point advantage of Japan and their next opponents Croatia.
While not altogether convincing, a second victory for Brazil ensures their progress to the second round. An impressive Australia will rue the missed chances but, provided Japan fail to beat Brazil, a draw against Croatia in their final match will take them through.
Group G
France (D= 1 pt.)vs South Korea (W= 3 Pts.)
Korea Republic fought back to earn a 1-1 draw with France as Park Ji-Sung cancelled out Thierry Henry's first-half opener in Leipzig on Sunday, 18 June 2006.
The point salvaged here put the Koreans top of Group G, at least until the end of Monday's match between Togo and Switzerland in Dortmund. The evening began promisingly for Les Bleus when Thierry Henry scored their first FIFA World Cup™ goal since the 1998 Final with nine minutes on the clock.
However, Korea Republic drew level when Park bundled the ball over the line in the 81st minute. To compound France's disappointment, Eric Abidal and Zinedine Zidane both collected bookings which rule them out of their final group game against Togo.
Both sides went close to sealing victory in the dying minutes but in the end they had to be content with a share of the spoils. The Koreans will surely be the happier of the two as the French still hunt their first FIFA World Cup win since the Final of France 98. As Group G stands now, Korea Republic lead the pack with four points with France second with two points. Switzerland and Togo have one and no points respectively ahead of their second game.

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.

(14 Days or two Full weeks untill TasteFest)
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.

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 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,

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
An American (Lucas Black) in Japan gets caught up in underground street racing and falls for a mobster's girlfriend.
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
Entertainment Weekly (D+) "The third movie in the Bad News Bears series, a notable turkey, went to Japan. That trip spells certain doom for the Fast and the Furious franchise as well. "
New York Times (C-) "The director, Justin Lin, proves that his overrated indie debut Better Luck Tomorrow was a Hollywood calling card..."
but som like it
Hollywood Reporter (B-) "Car action trumps character, but the move to Tokyo re-energizes the franchise."
and hey Ebert like it
Roger Ebert (B)"...delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more."
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."
And now it time to see what new at village Movie of the Damm (AKA Cinemark Movies 16 at the unaversial mall in Warren, MI)

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
An American (Lucas Black) in Japan gets caught up in underground street racing and falls for a mobster's girlfriend.
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
Entertainment Weekly (D+) "The third movie in the Bad News Bears series, a notable turkey, went to Japan. That trip spells certain doom for the Fast and the Furious franchise as well. "
New York Times (C-) "The director, Justin Lin, proves that his overrated indie debut Better Luck Tomorrow was a Hollywood calling card..."
but som like it
Hollywood Reporter (B-) "Car action trumps character, but the move to Tokyo re-energizes the franchise."
and hey Ebert like it
Roger Ebert (B)"...delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more."
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."
And now it time to see what new at village Movie of the Damm (AKA Cinemark Movies 16 at the unaversial mall in Warren, MI)

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.
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.

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.
