U2 in Tampa tonight. Their only Florida date, they are building the biggest stage at Raymond James stadium I've ever seen. Their stage costs them $755,000 a day to erect and dismantle, using about 1,500 local workers. It is in the center of the field, and all seats get a decent view.

So you won't have to spam.. Judging from the statements of leaders like Sarkozy and Medvedev, it seems the political statement made by the Nobel Committee is already beginning to have an effect. ============================================= Nobel Obama might improve relations with Russia Call \| Posted on 10/10/2009 to 10h25m Reuters / Brazil Online MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday he hoped the Nobel Peace Prize that the U.S. president Barack Obama wins the "added incentive" to relations between the two countries improve. "I see this step of the Nobel committee as evidence of a realistic view of the dynamics of global development," Medvedev said in a statement that congratulated Obama. "I hope this decision gives the additional stimulus to our work together to create a new climate in international politics." Obama won in a surprise decision on Friday in his first year in office. The award was given more because of the promises of Obama than for his achievements, so it was questioned in the world. The government of Obama promised to "start over" the relations between the United States and Russia, which reached one of the worst levels since the end of the Cold War. Relations cooled especially during the administrations of Vladimir Putin, now prime minister, Russia, and George W. Bush in the U.S.. But the relationship between the two countries put forward last month when Obama canceled plans for Bush to create a defense system against intercontinental missiles in Eastern Europe. This appealed to Russia, which had seen the project as a threat to its national security. Washington wants Moscow to involve more actively in a new plan for missile defenses against missiles from Iran and other countries. The revised plan was given the welcome chill of Russia, who is waiting for more details on how it will work. Medvedev said on Saturday he was committed to improving relations with the U.S.. "I would like to confirm our willingness to enhance constructive interaction with the aim of developing relations between Russia and the U.S. based on the principles of equal rights, mutual respect and consideration for the interests of others," he said. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a visit to Moscow scheduled for Oct. 13. (Reporting by Robin Paxton) oglobo.globo.com
