Continuing the fallout from this week's presidential debate between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, Big Bird will make an appearance at Pier Park in St. Petersburg. Mitt Romney scheduled the stop as part of his campaign and opposition to his assertion that he would 'fire' the puppet made famous by PBS' "Sesame Street" is expected.
The republican nominee has targeted PBS as a part of the federal budget that could be cut to save revenue in an effort to stem federal spending and balance the budget. Romney's critics say that the $400 million spent on PBS is a mere fraction of the subsidies the US government gives to other industries like oil and coal.

No change in Kashmir policy, says Pakistan
August 21, 2008 19:22 IST
Pakistan on Thursday said its policy on the Kashmir issue had not changed despite a war of words with India on situation in Jammu and Kashmir [Images] and that it remained committed to the peace process with the neighbouring country.
Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Sadiq said, "Our policy on Kashmir has not changed. We have reacted to the events in (Jammu and Kashmir) but our policy remains the same."
Replying to a question at the weekly news briefing on the flurry of statements issued by Pakistan in recent days on the recent violent protests in Jammu and Kashmir, he said: "The government of Pakistan is fully committed to the peace process started four years ago."
Sadiq also indicated that the resignation of former President Pervez Musharraf earlier this week would have no impact on proposals mooted by him to resolve Kashmir issue.
India has angrily rejected statements issued by Pakistani leaders and spokesmen on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir as a "clear interference" in its internal affairs. It has also asked Pakistan to desist from making such comments.
Pakistan's parliament this week set up a special committee to monitor alleged human rights abuses in Kashmir.
In response to a question, Sadiq said Pakistan attached great importance to cross-LoC confidence-building measures.
Noting that Pakistan had hosted a meeting of the Working Group on cross-LoC measures in July, he said several steps discussed at this meet were later adopted by the foreign secretaries during their talks in New Delhi [Images] later that month.
The steps included an increase in the frequency of the two cross-LoC bus services, introducing triple entry travel permits and expeditious processing of travel requests in emergencies. This would allow divided Kashmiri families to meet and provide relief to Kashmiris, Sadiq said.
In response to yet another question on BJP president Rajnath Singh's reported remark that the Inter-Services Intelligence agency had launched "economic terrorism" in
India, Sadiq said such "baseless and unsubstantiated charges" by a senior member of "India's leading political party are unfortunate and need to be avoided".

Product Ref: 43120
Sennheiser's new headphones were developed with some of the world's top DJs. The professional headphone range includes Sennheiser's proprietary acoustics system for superior dynamic sound reproduction. Inspired by the sound signature of the HD 25s, the HD7 DJ headphones are tuned specifically for the needs of DJs focusing on rhythm and beat matching.
With a mid-low end emphasis the sound from the HD7 DJs remains tight throughout with clarity retained in high frequencies. Capable of very loud, high SPL they are ideal for DJ performance environments, whilst their high noise isolation reduces the impact of maxing out the volume, for safe listening.

They are comfortable during even the longest sessions and feature interchangeable ear pads in soft velour or leatherette. Their unique circumaural design gives excellent outside noise attenuation.
They are made from extremely durable high-quality materials ensuring years of regular use.
DJs know what a good cable is worth so Sennheiser's new headphones come with exchangeable single-sided, Kevlar-coated cables made of oxygen-free copper and featuring gold-plated connectors: one coiled, one straight (both up to 3 m). They are attachable to either ear cup and are fitted with a bayonet twist for an absolutely secure connection.
The HD7 DJ Headphones come in a new hard wearing case for premium protection when on the go.

Festival of Churches officially launched
The inaugural Festival of Churches taking place across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcester saw its official launch this week.
More than 200 historic churches will open their doors across the three counties for special events over the weekend of 14 and 15 September.
"It's been several months of hard work but we think it's going to pay off," said Jenny Beard, spokesperson for Herefordshire Churches Tourism Group, one of organisations involved.
"The amazing thing is how imaginative and creative parishes are being."
Special events will include talks, seminars, guided tours, lunches, flower festivals, and the chance to try bellringing.
There are also bus tours being organised to take people to different events.
"People interested in local history for example should be able to plan a really great and entertaining weekend," said Beard.
"Many churches will have registers available or be featuring staffed exhibitions with knowledgeable people able to tell the story of their building.
"There will be food available everywhere over the weekend from the coffee morning to a curry lunch, and strawberry teas to barbeques so no-one should go hungry either."
Other groups helping to organise the Festival of Churches are the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group and the county Historic Churches Trust, which have been working with the Dioceses of Hereford, Lichfield and Worcester.
The festival is being held in part to raise funds for the Historic Churches Trust, which helps fund often costly repairs to church buildings.

The Black Keys, one of the largest rock bands in the world, just playing two back-to-back sold out arena-sized shows at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Just prior to their huge shows, the blues-driven buddies from Akron, Ohio entertained an intimate audience with their sultry rock riffs on songs like "Howlin' For You," "Lonely Boy," and "Gold On The Ceiling" and their sardonic repartee for Breakfast with Kevin & Bean.
Although the pair have won GRAMMY Awards and performed with some of the hugest names in music, the Black Keys don't really care how big the space they play is; it's the excitement of the audience that counts.
Drummer Pat Carney jokes that he's excited to play Chili's–the band are playing their first gigs "south of the Border" including Lollapalooza Chile and Brazil–and that he's also playing a "Staples and an Office Max next week." When an audience member asked him what his favorite show has been, frontman Dan Auerbach said that they had just played their "best show ever" in Portland, Maine where the audience went "ape bananas."
Much of the Black Keys' attitude can probably be attributed to their years of just being a small, marginally-popular "indie" band. They had an underground cult following and might have heard their songs on radio stations in places like rural Oregon, but the Black Keys didn't reach widespread popularity until the middle of their career.
Auerbach told a story about how their first show they only got paid ten bucks; a second show was requested at the same place, but for that they got nothing. The band joked how a rental house they recorded in is worth less now, and how their El Camino— is the basis for the cover and title art of their latest album–racked up massive mileage and was basically their hotel room.
When it was given away, the El Camino had about 178,000 miles on it with over 100,000 of those miles being the product of year and a half of touring on the Black Keys' part. They'd take Carney's underage brother on the road with them and he'd hang out "outside places like the Casbah and got made fun of in San Diego."
"Pat's brother would come along with us to not help us at all," laughed Auerbach dryly, recalling how most of the time it was just them. "The van was the hotel room. We'd sleep in rest areas which are awesome…Just two dudes hanging out in rest areas in the middle of the night."
Auerbach then made Carney tell a story about an instance that "Pat got really scared one time going into the bathroom."
"My brother Mike and I actually walked in and Dan was asleep," said the recent newlywed who had his wedding officiated by Will Forte aka MacGruber. "There was a guy walking out who looked really kind of scary and there was a guy in there with his pants down crying.
"You asked, I told you," replied the drummer when the audience cringed. Carney, almost as infamous for his hilariously absurd tweets as he is for his masterful drumming, had a lot of random zingers through the Breakfast with Kevin and Bean.
When the radio hosts joked that the band "can't expect success with the kind of music they play," Carney countered back with, "I don't understand what's not commercial about our piano-driven Christmas music." When someone asked the band what it was like to work with Danger Mouse and it was mentioned that they might be working on the next album with him, Carney blurted out, "Deadmau5?" And when an audience member asked him if his make-believe son really smells like ranch dressing, Carney replied, "My whole family smells like ranch dressing."
When Kevin & Bean asked the Black Keys what it was like to perform with Neil Young, they first said it was surreal but Auerbach confessed that Neil Young told the band that they sounded good–from his hotel room. The aging musician never watched their show, but he did invite the pair onstage with him for an encore of "Rockin' In The Free World" where Young stepped on Auerbach's foot while he was soloing.
"He had tennis shoes on, it didn't hurt," quipped Auerbach. Carney joked that while they were playing he was downtown with Cocoon star Wilford Brimley.
Although the Black Keys presumably joked about wanting to meet Jared from the Subway commercials and hating Michael Buble, they admitted that they have to get serious when it comes to writing new material for an album–even if it only takes them a day to record sometimes. Their usual producer, Danger Mouse, is tied up right now so they are starting their album on their own to see what comes of it.
"Just kind of see what we come up with just the two of us," said Carney who then went on to joke that while it only takes them a day to record a song, it takes "5 days for their engineer to autotune it."
When Kevin and Bean expressed their shock at the rapid-fire writing process, Auerbach retorted that the Sonics "recorded their records in a day," pointing to Bean's shirt with the name of the old band. However, for the songwriting process, their "brains kind of shut down" on tour.
"We have to plan for it and really block out some time," said Auerbach. "We can't practice…a lot of people we hear write when they're doing soundcheck and stuff but we can't do that. We like to be completely isolated. We just don't like messing up in front of people."
"It's also really emotional for us when we're writing music. There's a lot of Kleenex," joked Carney. "It looks like I'm sweating, but this is not sweat, it's tears."
Tears of psychological torture; tears from years of hard work; most likely, tears of laughter. Whatever emotion the Black Keys evokes gets fed right back into their music and gushes forth onto the stage. So keep the tears coming boys, whatever form they're in, and the world will keep listening.
Click the image below to watch highlights from the show, including full performances of "Tighten Up" and "Howlin' For You."

Projecting the Red Sox roster, Version 1.0
FORT MYERS, Fla. — We'll repeat this exercise again a few times before spring training is over. But as the Sox get ready for Grapefruit League games, here's a shot at projecting the Opening Day roster:
LHP Jon Lester
RHP Clay Buchholz
RHP John Lackey
RHP Jake Peavy
LHP Felix Doubront
Explanation: Barring injury, this group is carved in stone. The departure of Ryan Dempster ended whatever competition there was going to be.
RHP Koji Uehara
RHP Junichi Tazawa
LHP Craig Breslow
LHP Andrew Miller
RHP Edward Mujica
RHP Burke Badenhop
LHP Chris Capuano
Explanation: This doesn't seem fair to Brandon Workman, who pitched the eighth inning of Game 6 of the World Series. But the bullpen shifts constantly and he'll get there eventually. Badenhop's spot is not a lock. He probably needs to show the Sox a little something. The Sox like the idea of having three lefties in the bullpen in the AL East and believe Capuano can flourish in that role.
Don't get too worked up about who is in the bullpen on Opening Day. Andrew Bailey, Joel Hanrahan, Alfredo Aceves, and Clayton Mortensen all were last season. They were ghosts by the summer.
A.J. Pierzynski
David Ross
Explanation: It would take an injury to change this.
David Ortiz
Explanation: None needed, right?
1B Mike Napoli
2B Dustin Pedroia
SS Xander Bogaerts
3B Will Middlebrooks
UTIL Jonathan Herrera
Explanation: The starters, for now, seem set unless Stephen Drew walks through the door one morning. Herrera was obtained because of his defensive versatility and has an edge on the utility job.
RF Shane Victorino
CF Jackie Bradley Jr.
LF Jonny Gomes
LF-RF-1B Daniel Nava
LF-1B Mike Carp
Explanation: Here is where it gets tricky. If Grady Sizemore is ready for the Opening Day roster, the Sox will have some decisions to make. Could the Sox get away with dropping Bradley back to Triple A and use Sizemore and Victorino in center? Would they trade Nava or Carp to make room for Sizemore? The guess for now: Sizemore starts the season on the disabled list, if only to allow him more time to get ready.
The Red Sox believe that Victorino's defense in right field is more of an advantage (especially in Fenway Park) than it would be in center.
Sizemore's spot is the biggest roster question. If he shows he's ready to play, something has to give. The next month will determine that.
What's your call? Leave a comment on any changes you envision.


text: I'm going to try and keep this short due to being able to only type with one hand. Either way I wanted to say thank you for all the guides, stickies, and the overall helpfulness of this site. only a few days ago I broke my arm in a car accident bored without the ability to leave the house due to very strong pain meds I looked at my Wii and thought there is a few games on there I could play left handed (not having touched my Wii in almost a year). So I dug out Mario Party 8 and got the people who came to visit play me in it. That night I decided to soft mod my Wii, Google'd it and I found this site. Within a few hours I managed to find all the information I needed and successfully soft modded my Wii. Now i can get back ups of games I have that My nephews have destroyed. I found that while its hard to get used to I can use the nunchuck in my right hand for the dpad without putting a strain on my arm (righthanded and right arm injury) So the Wii shall accompany me through my recovery. Thank you all very much!

A MAJOR international energy firm wants to build Europe's second biggest solar farm in Hampshire .
In a bizarre coincidence, the parcel of land between Stubbington and Fareham earmarked for the German installation takes the shape of one of the nation's most iconic animals – the Schnauzer dog.
Up to 14,000 homes would be powered by the facility, which could be built at Newlands Farm as early as next year if planning gets the nod.
The renewable energy company IB Vogt says there would be enough racks of panels to create 47 megawatts of electricity, making it the biggest solar panel in the UK.
A spokesman for the firm said colleagues had remarked on the uncanny resemblance of the layout to the Schnauzer breed of dog, which originated in Germany in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The proposal has already been labelled "shocking" by the leader of Fareham Borough Council , who said it would result in the loss of a "significant" parcel of countryside.
But if plans get the go-ahead, the first solar panel could be installed this spring.
IB Vogt is preparing to launch a major public consultation and submit a planning application within a month.
The spokesman said: "We believe this is a very exciting development for Fareham.
"Indeed, if the proposal attained planning permission it would be the largest solar farm in the UK and the second largest in Europe, something of which we believe Fareham could rightly be proud.
"In addition to the environmental benefits, the scheme would deliver a number of economic benefits. Jobs would be created during the construction of the solar farm and some of the materials would be sourced from the UK.
"Ongoing employment opportunities would exist as the panels would need to be maintained and kept secure."
With the panels raised above the ground on pole foundations, the fields would be sown with grass seed and grazed by sheep once the solar farm was up and running.
Wildflower meadows would be planted around the farm, while bird and bat boxes would also be installed, along with access for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders along new nature trails.
Cllr Sean Woodward said the plans, which cover an area the size of 50 football pitches, were bound to cause debate in the surrounding communities and called for "meaningful consultation".
He told the Daily Echo: "This is a shocking proposal that I am sure will be of great interest and concern to residents of Stubbington and south Fareham.
"It would represent the loss of a significant area of countryside which forms a strategic gap between south Fareham and Stubbington. "There are many issues that Fareham Borough Council as the local planning authority will need to take into account if a planning application is submitted next month, including – but not limited to – the environmental impact, which is positive in terms of power generation and negative in terms of the presence of thousands of solar panels, public views across the site and the grade of agricultural land that would be lost from cultivation."

Officer Degan served with the agency for 1.5 years and was assigned to the 3rd Precinct. Officer Degan was a widower who was survived by his son; he is buried in Saint Boniface Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois.
Eight men were arrested and charged with the officers murders. Seven were convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The other one was sentenced to 15 years. On November 11, 1887, four of them were executed by hanging. The day before one of the suspects killed himself in his cell with a smuggled dynamite cap which he detonated in his mouth. The other three were pardoned by Governor Altgeld in 1893.
Eight police officers were killed during the Haymarket Riot labor dispute. The officers were at the scene of a civil disorder when the rioters opened fire and threw a bomb into the crowd. Eight police officers suffered fatal wounds and 70 other people were injured by the gunfire and explosion.
The officers who were killed included Patrolman Mathias Degan, Patrolman John Barrett, Patrolman George Miller, Patrolman Timothy Flavin, Patrolman Thomas Redden, Patrolman Nels Hansen and Patrolman Michael Sheehan.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 review
By Lesa Snider Macworld.com | on May 04, 2010
Price When Reviewed: £548 plus VAT (Standard) . £794 plus VAT (Extended)
Pros: 64-bit enabled. Helpful Refine Edge feature. Easier merging of HDR images. Many community-driven improvements. Lens Correction filter uses camera/lens profiles. Better noise reduction in Camera Raw. Convenient Content-Aware Fill feature.
Cons: Many plug-ins/filters work only in 32-bit mode. App generally does not feel much faster.
Expert Rating:
Best prices today
Workspace improvements
If you're upgrading from Photoshop CS4, the workspace doesn't look much different than before, though the Tools panel icons have been modernized. Also, the Application Bar includes a live workspace switcher (they're really buttons) that you can drag leftward to reveal and hold several saved workspaces. In fact, the Hand and Rotate View tools were removed from the Application Bar to make more room for this feature. You can also delete built-in workspaces you'll never use.
To give you easier access to files through Adobe Bridge, Adobe gave Bridge its own panel inside Photoshop. It's named Mini Bridge because of its size and the fact that it can't quite do everything Bridge can (though you can still use full-blown Bridge anytime you want). You can drag files from the Mini Bridge panel into a Photoshop (or InDesign) window. You can also view and search for files, get a full-screen preview by pressing the space bar, and run commands on multiple files.
Many smaller tweaks
If you ever wondered whether Adobe listens to customer feedback, the proof is in the 100-plus changes that are the direct result of Adobe's customer feedback initiative, called Just Do It (JDI). For example, Photoshop now automatically saves 16-bit JPEGs as 8-bit; the Ruler tool includes a Straighten option; the Crop tool includes a rule-of-thirds grid overlay; the Save dialog box includes an "apply to all" checkbox; there's a preference to turn off gestures on laptop trackpads; there's an option to revert to legacy (CS3) keyboard shortcuts for Channels; the default Shadows/Highlights adjustment is set to 35 percent instead of 50 percent -- the list goes on.
Layers got a few upgrades, too. For example, you can adjust the opacity and fill of multiple layers at once, nest layers into a deeper folder structure, save your favorite layer style settings as defaults from within the Layer Style dialog box, and drag and drop files from your desktop into an open Photoshop document to add them as a layer.
Other additions include a ghosted outline as you drag layer content using the Move tool (helpful when moving small items), visual feedback when you're dragging layer styles from one layer to another (you see a big, partially transparent fx icon as you drag), and a new Paste Special menu item that lets you do all kinds of neat pasting tricks.
Photoshop updates come along every 18 to 24 months, and in this economy, it's harder than ever to justify the upgrade cost. With Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended however, it's a no-brainer -- especially if you skipped CS4. If you work in advertising or graphic design, the new Content-Aware Fill and the improved Refine Edge dialog are worth the upgrade price, not to mention the hundreds of enhancements that will make your editing life easier. If you never work in 3D, you can get away with the standard version of the program and save a ton. That said, the extended version makes more sense because it includes extra goodies such as the option to load several images into a Photoshop document automatically (File ->Scripts ->Load Files into Stack), more powerful video editing, animation control, and more.
If you're a photographer, you'll get more accurate results with the Lens Correction filter; merging multiple exposures now makes more sense and takes less time; and the Camera Raw enhancements mean your photos might not need to spend time in Photoshop at all. With all the time you'll save by using the new tools, you can give the Mixer Brush a spin and create that painted masterpiece you've always wanted.

It's not hard to see why the Jets could wind up being about as hated as any team in the NFL when their run on HBO is up in a few weeks.
Their willingness to publicly flap their gums and flex their muscles isn't for every taste and you'd think that the team that shares their stadium would be one of the first to lose their patience with Rex Ryan and company.
Check back next episode. Vinny DiTrani of the Record spoke to a bunch of Giants, including general manager Jerry Reese and Eli Manning, and they all claimed to have found other things to do on Wednesday night. Owner John Mara expressed a similarly blase attitude about the premiere of the new show.
We don't doubt any of those findings, although it seems odd that there'd be absolutely no interest in seeing what the other guys are up to. The Giants strenously put forth an image of being above everything that isn't football, usually with an undertone of being the yin to every Jets yang, but they have to have at least noticed the drastic change in the football landscape over the last 16 months.
The Jets have seen a rapid rise in their visibility and actively worked to stoke it while the Giants have been content to be the quiet kids with their noses stuck in the books.
As the Giants would be the first to tell you, nothing is won during the offseason and all the words in Webster's don't amount to anything more than words. Still, there's something about so studied and uniform a response that whispers that someone might be protesting a bit too much.
Thank heavens for Pat Hanlon, then. The Giants V.P. of Communications spent the evening on his Twitter account -- backgrounded by the very un-V.P. of Communications message that "Talk is Cheap, Play the Game" -- and made more than one snide reference to the team being profiled on premium cable.
As Greg Aiello of the NFL pointed out, HBO would be wise to keep some cameras on Hanlon during Monday night's game because he seems to be the only one willing to admit that sharing close quarters with the NFL's flavor of the month actually elicits a reaction.
