A US man chose to be sent to jail rather than handing over $1.57 for a drink he stole, according to police. The 27-year-old, from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was confronted by officers who responded to the report of a theft at a local outlet.

I was wondering if anyone can help me on this problem....I have been trying to create a banner using Photoshop CS3. I get so far as to transforming an image onto the banner but when I try to insert some text, the text does not show up on the banner but it shows up on the palette.

If I would type some text on a normal picture it shows up but it won't show up on this banner. Can anyone tel…
