* Modified Green theme:
  * The Green theme sort direction icon is now applied to only the first span it encounters inside the header. The UI theme adds a second span for it's icon.
  * Essentially to fix [this demo](http://mottie.github.com/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-ui-theme.html) which allows switching between all of the themes.
* Modified the UI theme to now add a div that wraps all of the header cell content to allow positioning of the sort direction icon.
