"I was just sitting at the drive-thu window at Walgreen's, and I heard three or four gunshots go off," said bystander Jeff Milam.
What began as a normal trip to the pharmacy, became startling for one man Tuesday afternoon in Bowling Green.
"I was just sitting at the drive-thru window at Walgreen's, and I heard three or four gunshots go off," said bystander Jeff Milam.
He was just yards away from what Kentucky State Police say was an officer-involved shooting in the parking lot of Michelle's Consignment on the 31-W bypass.
Thomas Brown, a Warren County Security Officer, allegedly shot Brandon Bradshaw, 27, of Bowling Green.
KSP says Brown was off duty when he shot Bradshaw.
"Mr. Brown has been placed on administrative leave, per the Warren County Sheriff's Department's policy," said Trooper Jonathan Biven.
Bradshaw is a former Warren County Constable, and current SkyPAC Youth Theater Educator.
SkyPAC released this statement, "We at SkyPAC are shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic event. Brandon is a fixture in Bowling Green's youth theater community, and has quickly helped shape SkyPAC as our youth theater educator. We have been contacted by GRECC, who has offered grief counseling services, through the regional school districts, to the numerous young people who have been touched and inspired by Brandon," says SkyPAC Executive Director Tom Tomlinson.
KSP says Bradshaw was transported by ambulance to The Medical Center in critical condition, and was later transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. Brown was not injured.
There were two pickup trucks at the scene. One truck's passenger side window was shattered. Kentucky State Police are not releasing details regarding the cause of the shooting.

I recently asked a question, and a new user answered it. His answer linked an article he wrote as a direct answer to my SO question.
I think the article does a great job of answering my question, but I am afraid that it will be moved or deleted and I won't be able to reference it later.
Is it ok for me to edit his answer and include the article in it? I can still preserve the link to his gist.

To maintain a uniform documentation set, there are some consistency rules to be followed, that you should know before starting. In this chapter you will find guidelines about targeting your audience, English usage, and what to cover when you are documenting an application.
We also offer some general writing tips to help you to get started, provided by experienced KDE documenters.
Since KDE is used by people with a wide range of abilities, from completely new users to long-time gurus, the documentation should be appropriate to this audience. Therefore, in general, documentation shouldn't assume too much about the knowledge of the reader, without being patronizing. There are no hard-and-fast rules, but here are some tips that should help:
end of the document.
Remember also that different types of documentation have different purposes:
KDE documentation is written in standard US English (rather than any other regional variety of English). We have a set of standard forms of certain words (such as "email" instead of "e-mail") to improve consistency across all documentation. There are also standard names for KDE widgets, which are listed in Appendix B. A Visual Guide
A good way to catch simple errors is to read the text out loud, or have someone else read it to you. Passages that don't flow easily or have obviously awkward construction of the type you may miss on the screen, will usually become blindingly obvious when you hear them. This is especially the case with detecting really long sentences, as you will run out of breath and turn blue.
Some tips about writing readable sentences:
Use a comma before "and" in compound sentences, eg "Use the left mouse button to select and copy text, and the middle mouse button to paste it."
Remember, we have also an active proofreading team, and there is always someone to help you with grammar, so just write and have fun!
For most applications, a structure something like this would be appropriate:
You will find a template document with these sections in template.docbook file in KDE git repository.

Prodigal Summer (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
Barbara Kingsolver's fifth novel is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. It weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives amid the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, this novel's intriguing protagonists face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which they necessarily share a place.
About the Author
Barbara Kingsolver's work has been translated into more than twenty languages and has earned a devoted readership at home and abroad. She was awarded the National Humanities Medal, our country's highest honor for service through the arts. She received the 2011 Dayton Literary Peace Prize for the body of her work, and in 2010 won Britain's Orange Prize for The Lacuna. Before she made her living as a writer, Kingsolver earned degrees in biology and worked as a scientist. She now lives with her family on a farm in southern Appalachia.

Art and Artists in NY
This romp through the Big Apple includes tours of 8 major museums and 3-4 gallery districts plus visits to artists in their studios. Students will enjoy a little time for sight-seeing/shopping and hitting Broadway. Click on Read More to read the blogs in full.
Wednesday, January 04, 2012
This romp through the Big Apple includes tours of eight major museums and 3-4 gallery districts plus visits to artists in their studios.
We just arrived. The plan is about two museums a day. Most of the students just completed a course on the history of late 20th century art. So, tomorrow we will go to the International Center of Photography and then spend the bulk of the day at the Museum of Modern Art where students will see all the work they have just been studying and then some, including a major retrospective of Willem de Kooning's work.
Friday is the Frick and the Met. Alumnus Sam McCune ('05) is going to join us for the day and talk about be a 20-something Christian in the art world.
Saturday is the Guggenheim for a Maurizio Cattelan retrospective and the Whitney...a little sightseeing Sunday and 5 pm church at Res Pres [Resurrection Presbyterian] in Brooklyn.
Next week is more museums and the gallery districts and 2-3 famous artists.

I ran a search and found nothing, so if there actually is a thread already please delete this one.
I ordered mine last week online since no stores in my area had any left and it is coming in next week.
From what I can tell so far, it looks great, everyone raves about how the controls feel right, and I like the idea that the loadout really affects both the animations and the effectiveness of your character.
The difficulty of the game is a big stand out here as dying results in you losing all of your exp(souls) in between levelling, and this results in you having your life halved. You can attempt to reclaim your lost souls but dying in this attempt results in them being lost forever.
There are no checkpoints in the dungeons, dying at the final dungeon boss results in you having to start the dungeon over WITH full respawning enemies.
My reason for purchasing is essentially for the combat gameplay, i like the idea of shoulder button mapping, Left shoulders = left hand, including blocking if shield equipped or attacking if weapon equipped
right shoulders= right hand.
Its gotten very good reviews, and very bimodal user reviews.
People get spanked on this game pretty hard, so you will find many copies on craigslist or kijiji.
But its supposed to be really good as well.

The Dodge City Athletics still cannot find an answer to slow down the Jayhawk League leading Hays Larks so far this season.
The Larks beat the Athletics 7-1 at Larks Park to improve their league lead to four games at the midway point of the season. Dodge City has lost all four games to the Larks so far in 2013.
Hays (16-3, 13-3) opened up scoring in the fourth inning on a RBI single by Jake Placzek off losing pitcher Jevin Huval. The Larks made the score 4-0 after five innings on a groudout by MacKenzie Handle and a two-run double by Brett Lang off reliever Chad Reiser.
Dodge City (8-12, 4-10) got on the scoreboard in the sixth when Joe Haddox hit a double and later scored on a single by Zach Jacobs. Hays came back with two in the bottom of the sixth on a wild pitch and a single by Clayton Garland.
The Larks' final score came in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Zair Koeiman.
Dodge City travels to Liberal for another Jayhawk League game. The game is scheduled to start around 7 p.m.

Right now I am making a twitter app for iOS 5, and I need help with the

How can do an autenticated request to twitter and then put that timeline in a tableview?? Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Virindh Borra

Each of n persons draws a card from a shuffled deck of $k$ cards numbered from $1$ to $k$. There are at least as many cards as persons. The winner is the person who is holding the largest card. If everyone is honest, how can they mutually determine the identity of the winner, without any person learning additional information beyond that which can necessarily be inferred from $n$, $k$, the value of that person's own card, and the identity of the winner? In the general situation with $k \gg n$ for any person this information includes the values of all cards except for the one held by that person, and also the relative value of any two non-winning persons' cards. If this is not possible, in what ways can this information be minimized?
If I understand your question correctly, your problem can be seen as a multi-party extension of the Millionaires' problem. In the Millionaires' problem problem, two millionaires want to know which of them is richer without revealing their wealth. There is an secure two-party protocol (due to Andy Yao, 1982), and there may be even more sophisticated algorithms around these days. Maybe a simple extension of this protocol will solve your problem (every peer talks to everybody else to lean that the other guy has a higher card). However, I don't know if this simple extension is still secure.
EDIT: After looking over Yao's paper I realize that he is also already addressing the multi-party problem. So you should find your solution in his paper, or follow some of the references given in this article at Wikipedia. Of course, the recent homomorphic encryption scheme will also solve your problem, as has been pointed out by user Moron before. However, since the homomorphic encryption scheme is very general, it might be a little bit too complicated for your problem at hand if you are looking for a practical scheme.
If any person pulls the $k$ value card, they immediately identify themselves.
Should this not happen, after a second the individual with the $k-1$ card identifies himself. Similarly, the $k-t$ person identifies himself after $t$ seconds if no one has been identified previously. On this strategy, it would take at most $k-n$ seconds for someone to identify himself as the highest card holder, with no other information being passed besides everyone aware the value of highest card is $k-n$ and who drew it.
You should be able to use a Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme which was recently proved to be possible by Craig Gentry from IBM (and was an important open problem in cryptography till 2009!)
Using a fully homomorphic scheme, any circuit can be evaluated homomorphically, effectively allowing computation on encrypted input without having to decrypt it.
To use it in your case, each can encrypt their card value and do a homomorphic comparison (for instance see this: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1356047, caveat: I have only read the abstract). We can find out the person with the greatest value (or sort them in order) without having to divulge any non-encrypted information.
Of course, this is still theoretical, it might be a while before this becomes practical.
See the wiki page for more details.
It seems to me that this puzzle as stated can be resolved by a public counter that counts down from $n$ to $n - k$ in even time steps, each of which is longer than every player's reaction time. Each player intends to stop the counter when it displays a value equal to or lower than the player's own card; whoever first stops the counter is the winner. This does not seem to reveal anything that is not already available from $n$, $k$, and the value of the winner's card.
Obviously this is impracticable when $n \gg k$, but even then one could have the time count down in sufficiently large increments to be physically feasible. When the number of steps is substantially larger than $k$ this would still have a good chance of identifying the winner. Apparent ties in this procedure could be resolved by a quick run-off using the same technology (keeping the players in the runoff anonymous), giving an almost certain procedure to find a unique winner correctly.

- BSO Case Number:
- PIO Number: 01-8-41
- Date: Aug. 31 – Sept. 3, 2001.
- Time: various
- Place of Occurrence: throughout Broward County
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office deputies will be out on the roadways and the waterways for the Labor Day weekend to help ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday for everyone. BSO will utilize increased patrols, checkpoints and selective enforcement to encourage motorists and boaters to operate vessels and vehicles in a safe and sober manner.
BSO's DUI Task Force will be in Tamarac Friday night, manning a checkpoint in the 4200 block of Commercial Boulevard from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. On Saturday evening, they'll run a checkpoint in the 2000 block of South State Road 7 in Miramar. BSO District 4 deputies will also operate a checkpoint in Lauderdale Lakes, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday in the 2900 block of NW 49th Avenue. On Sunday and Monday, DUI Task Force members will remain mobile, assisting other deputies and police officers in making DUI arrests throughout Broward.
Labor Day Weekend is traditionally a busy time for boating. With over 44,000 registered boaters in Broward County, and a good weather forecast, the ocean and local canals and inlets will almost certainly be teeming with watercraft. BSO's Marine Unit will be out, day and night, running OUI (Operating Under the Influence) patrols, doing boat ramp safety inspections, running radar enforcement in speed zones, doing general patrols, and responding to emergencies. While the Marine Unit deputies may patrol anywhere in the county, their efforts will be concentrated in Dania Beach, Pompano Beach, at Hollywood's Lloyd State Park and at Everglades Holiday Park in western Broward.

I am totally new to D&D 4E. I have read that Ranger|Cleric is generally better than Ranger. Can someone give me an example build for Ranger|Cleric that goes up to level 30?
EDIT: No house rules. All material is allowed. Most recent errata.
Interested in playing from 1-30, but obviously I don't expect each level to be "the best possible." Playable at all levels, but if necessary can sacrifice some playability for levels 1-10.
I'm afraid I can't give design focus - preferably two-weapon style. Not sure about defenses, or expected rounds to kill mob X. Not enough experience to answer that.
Party composition: so far, 1 controller, 2 unknown (certainly won't be strikers), 1 striker (me) - beyond that, up in the air.
EDIT 2: won't be starting at paragon tier but expecting quick levelling early on (easy)

The California dream weavers have invaded Charm City with their cameras, their stars, and their controversy . . .
When Tess Monaghan literally runs into the crew of the fledgling TV series Mann of Steel while sculling, she never expects to be hired to serve as bodyguard/babysitter to the young female lead, Selene Waites. But the company has been plagued by a series of disturbing "mishaps" lately. And the discovery of a corpse surrounded by photos of the beautiful, difficult superstar-in-the-making is causing Mann's creator and Hollywood legend, Flip Tumulty, considerable distress.
Keeping a spoiled movie princess under wraps may be more than Tess can handle, since Selene is less naive and far more devious than she initially appears to be. But murder is an occurrence the fish-out-of-water P.I. is all too familiar with—and a grisly on-set slaying suddenly threatens to topple the wall of secrets surrounding Mann of Steel, leaving lives, dreams, and careers scattered among the ruins.
About the Author
Laura Lippman is the author of eleven novels featuring Baltimore private detective Tess Monaghan, seven stand-alone novels, and a short story collection. Her six most recent books have all been New York Times bestsellers. Lippman has won numerous literary prizes for her work, including the Edgar®, Anthony, Nero Wolfe, Agatha, Gumshoe, Barry, and Macavity Awards. A recent recipient of the first-ever Mayor's Prize, she lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with her husband, David Simon; their daughter; and her stepson.
Praise For…
Like lunch at Atwater's, Tess's latest leaves you fully satisfied but looking forward to next time
-Kirkus Reviews
"Lippman is incapable of writing an un-compelling mystery,"
-Baltimore Sun
"Tess--funny, smart, empathetic as hell, and a colorful, irreverent storyteller makes a wonderful companion for this tale, in which disturbing vandalism and a stalker are just the harbingers of much worse problems,"
-Seattle Times
"A juicy whodunit."
-Entertainment Weekly
"After last year's acclaimed What the Dead Know, Lippman is back on home turf with the 10th installment of her popular series about Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan."
[a] welcome addition to Tess Monaghan's adventures and an insightful look at the desperation that drives those grasping for a shot at fame and those who will do anything to keep it.
-San Francisco Chronicle
You get everything in this book. There's a really good mystery which is almost secondary to the interaction of the characters - Hollywood's penchant for confusing illusion and reality is beautifully done - and the witty dialogue, full of smart film references, is totally believable.
-Toronto Globe and Mail

Can a woman use a Mikvah if her Husband is not Jewish (She is currently on the road to becoming a BT)
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Tough question. I know a lot of nerves can be frazzled by this one.
In Temple times, when ritual purity affected all sorts of aspects of daily life, this might be a different question; but today, women's regular use of mikva is only to end the status of nida.
On the one hand, the woman would like to increase her religious observance (a wonderful thing), and this is certainly a major act.
On the other hand, from a strict Halachic perspective, she's accomplishing nothing:
To paraphrase: the laws of Nidah only pertain to a couple where both is Jewish. If either partner is non-Jewish, their nida status (and hence mikva observance) makes no difference.
So it's something that would make her feel better about herself, but is (frustratingly) of no Halachic significance. This is further complicated because in many cases, mikva use is really limited to those who Halachically need it. (See for instance this question).
ובאמת בנידון דידן אין קידושין תופסין ואולי אסורה לטבול כשאר פנויות, אבל אין כך עונין המעיקות
You can try asking yoatzot.org if you like. The final decision may come down to the rabbi or women in charge of the local mikva, but those are the issues that I know of.
There is no halakhic reason why this woman cannot immerse in the mikveh. She should be encouraged to make whatever decision is right for her.
The link listed in the previous response does not mention anything about immersing for non-required reasons - unclear what the responder's basis is for this. People have immersed for non-commanded reasons for hundreds (if not thousands) of years: before Shabbat, before Yom Kippur, 9th month of pregnancy.
A mikveh is "lo mikabel tumah" - it cannot receive impurity. As long as it was built under rabbinic supervision and is maintained under rabbinic supervision, there is no way it can be "messed up" for anyone else because of who goes in, when, and for what reason.

First of all, I'd like to say that I haven't woken up at 6 a.m. since high school. My blood was roughly 25 percent caffeine by the time I got to Everbank Field for the First Coast High School Football Media Day.
But still — time for football.
Here's my main issue with Media Day: Nobody has practiced with pads. It's difficult to ask what your team is going to look like until you go against some live action, and since we're not gearing up for flag football, the hitting is kind of important.

When Deadspin released the story that there was a Redditor giving away match results for the better part of six months, I, along with most WWE fans over the age of 12, let out a collective sigh.
Do people really care about wins and losses in professional wrestling?

Let's all pretend that team affiliations don't exist, at least not at birth. We're born into sports-atheism, but the current sports culture of idiots on ESPN and pissant blogs still detail every bit of minutiae of every athlete, owner and coach. Everything's the same, but why we care is totally different.

The lead-up to Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family has been predicated on the notion that these are social anarchists. They live out in the woods, they're a-political (politics was brought up and recently squashed as a topic rather unceremoniously with Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter – drugs are for losers, kids) and wrestle because, well, they're big.

For the first time in a long, long time, Monday Night Raw actually shocked me.
Days after the death of Bill Moody – otherwise known as Paul Bearer, The Undertaker's longtime manager – WWE held a show-long ceremony dedicated to life and legacy of the show's only true unique manager.

Hey everybody! I'm back to dust off this musty old space of internet for a few hundred words. Leggo.
I want to expand on one of my Rants from a couple days ago, the one about Colin Kaepernick, tattoos and mobility. The good thing about Rants are that they're quick and easily digested, like an elaborated tweet. The bad thing is that they're too short to really explore a subject, and much like the 140-character restrictions of Twitter, that space on the bottom of the front page doesn't allow a lot of room to explain my point.

First off, an admission: that screw up on the baseball page on Thursday? That was my fault. Never mistake examples for the real thing is the lesson we learned.
Anyways, I figure since we're a week into the new high school football season I'll start a weekly feature where I give you my two-cents and you throw nickels at my head. The main thing I'll be watching for this week is how county teams bounce back from bad losses. With the exception of Nease, who simply played a better opponent, I doubt the rest of the county teams feel like they played up to their abilities.

I figure if you're reading this you're either A) my mom, and will stop after this sentence, or B) someone who already watches WWE RAW on a regular basis. With that in mind I won't use this space in the future as a true "recap" of each week, but rather a storyline or two that catches my attention.

It's funny how a human brain acts. The less restriction you give it, the more freedom it has to wander into the various locales of the absurd and inane, creating landscapes of the beautifully intricate yet morose.
Or, it makes me watch television.

I don't know if it is a bug or my lack of python skills, but I keep getting 'ERROR 000816 The tool is not valid' in my python script when I call ExportMetadata_conversion
Initially, I was attempting this on an sde database, but then I tried to take a step back just match the example in the documentation and use a file geodb:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:/data"
#set local variables
dir = arcpy.GetInstallInfo("desktop")["InstallDir"]
translator = dir + "Metadata/Translator/ESRI_ISO2ISO19139.xml"
arcpy.ExportMetadata_conversion ("data.gdb/roads", translator,
But I received the same error.
Is anyone successfully calling this method? If so, does your code match the documentation?

State GOP should try to be relevant
What should Connecticut's Republican Party do, having just been so badly defeated in the election? As always, it should determine its principles and pursue the policies arising from them, even if they include the national party's policies of outlawing abortion, perpetual foreign military adventurism, trickle-down economics, disparaging homosexuals, pandering to religious crazies, and deporting teenagers who have no memory of living anywhere but in the United States.
Of course there are other political principles, principles that, in Connecticut, while contrary to the principles of the state's dominant political party, the Democratic Party, still just might be supported by a majority in a state election someday, on account of their relevance.

The tobacco industry continues to be a big part of Kentucky's economy. Last year, tobacco brought nearly $500 million to the state.
But now a tobacco quota buy-out program is being debated on the floor of the United States House. The buy-out could completely change the tobacco industry. Farmers and legislators have been discussing a buy-out for years.
Tommy Bale, a burley tobacco farmer in Hart County, has been in the business for more than 25 years. He said now is the time to do away with the quota program. Bale said the program no longer serves its purpose of controlling the amount of tobacco being grown. He said it is only an additional cost. Bale said if the program is bought out U.S. farmers would be more competitive in the face of declining cigarette sales and cheaper leaf from abroad.
Debate just started on the house floor over four bills that end the quota program. Many farmers said if a bill passes they will take the money and quit the tobacco business altogether. Others see the buy-out as a way to make even more money and produce more tobacco farming to our area. The cost of the buy-out is estimated to be around $16 billion over a five-year span. Some proposals before Congress would pay for the buy-out would pay with a new fee on cigarette makers who would be paying less for their leaf.
Fast Facts
The value of tobacco production in Kentucky has averaged more than $800 million during the decade of the 1990s (1990-1996), compared to averaging $705 million during the 1980s, $443 million during the 1970s and $250 million during the 1960s. Quota increases provide the potential for Kentucky farmers to grow more than $1 billion of tobacco in 1997.
While being volatile over the past two decades, Kentucky's tobacco production is currently higher than production levels some 20 to 25 years ago.
Kentucky farmers grow three types of tobacco: burley, dark fire-cured, and dark air-cured. Burley tobacco, comprising more than 90 percent of total production, is grown in 119 of Kentucky's 120 counties and is used primarily in cigarettes. Dark fire-cured and dark air-cured production is concentrated in 33 western Kentucky counties and is used primarily in smokeless tobacco products such as snuff, chewing and pipe tobacco. The value of tobacco production generally exceeds $1 million annually for more than 100 Kentucky counties.
Kentucky is the nation's largest producer of burley tobacco and dark fire- and air-cured tobaccos. Only North Carolina surpasses Kentucky in tobacco production.
Kentucky is the most tobacco-dependent state in the United States. Although North Carolina grows more tobacco than Kentucky, tobacco accounts for a larger percentage of Kentucky's agricultural income.
Tobacco currently accounts for around 50 percent of Kentucky's crop receipts and 25 percent of Kentucky's total agricultural cash receipts, yet tobacco uses 1 percent of the farmland in Kentucky. The latest Census of Agriculture (1992) revealed that tobacco accounted for more than 40 percent of the net cash return from agricultural sales in Kentucky.
An acre of tobacco averages around $4,000 in (gross) returns at the farm level while contributing around $40,000 in federal, state, and local tax revenue as a result of excise taxes on tobacco products.
Other traditional Kentucky crops, such as corn, soybeans and wheat, yield significantly lower returns per acre and thus do not offer a viable alternative to most small Kentucky farms. According to 1997 University of Kentucky crop budgets, farmers would have to produce around 50 acres of either hay or double-crop wheat and soybeans or 100 acres of corn to generate the same net return to land, capital and management of five acres of burley tobacco. Census data reveal that the average harvested cropland for Kentucky tobacco farms is 22 acres. The profit potential of other "alternative crops," such as fruits and vegetables, may rival tobacco income in some years, but these crops generally have much greater price and income volatility compared to tobacco.
In several Kentucky counties, tobacco farming directly accounts for more than 10 percent of the total personal income from all income sources. According to a U.S.D.A. report, 17 of the United States' 20 most tobacco-dependent counties are in Kentucky. Most of these counties are located in regions with limited off-farm employment opportunities.
Every $1 million of additional tobacco production con-tributes a total of $3.6 million to the Kentucky economy through direct, indirect, and induced effects. Accounting for multiplier effects, Kentucky's tobacco production and processing sectors account for 6 percent of the total gross value of goods and services produced in Kentucky and 6 percent of Kentucky's total employment.
Kentucky agriculture is noted for its small family farms. Currently Kentucky has the fourth largest number of farms in the United States. According to the latest (1992) Census of Agriculture, more than 59,000 of Kentucky's 89,000 farms grow tobacco. This represents nearly 50 percent of the total number of farms growing tobacco in the United States. Tobacco accounts for more than 50 percent of the total agriculture sales for 43,000 of Kentucky's 59,000 tobacco farms.
U.S. Census data reveal that the average tobacco farm in Kentucky consists of 113 acres, with 4.6 acres being the average tobacco acreage planted on these farms. Ninety percent of Kentucky tobacco farms produce fewer than ten acres of tobacco.
More than 50 percent of Kentucky tobacco farms have agricultural sales totaling less than $10,000.

Finding the core
He injured his back in a crash in 2007 during the Tour of Spain and was riding hurt. When massage, acupuncture and other methods didn't vanquish the pain, he went to Westfahl asking if she could help fix his back.
Westfahl's solution surprised Danielson. She said he needed to strengthen his gluteus maximus and other core muscles.
"I believe in dealing with the source of the problem, not the site," the Denver-based trainer said in a recent phone interview.
To her, Danielson's problem was obvious. It's was a problem that plagues many cyclists.
He was a world-class athlete, but he had the core strength of a weekend warrior.
"When I first met him, he couldn't even hold a plank for five seconds," Westfahl said.
A plank, a staple of workout classes everywhere, is simple exercise that engages many core muscles.
Westfahl asked Danielson to show her his core training routine. He responded by dropping to the floor and doing crunches for about two minutes.
"Cyclists have a bad habit of ignoring their core," Westfahl said.
Over the next five years, Westfahl and Danielson would go about strengthening those muscles. The result was the elimination of the pain, improved performance (he finished eighth in the 2011 Tour de France) and a new book.
In "Tom Danielson's Core Advantage" ($18.95, VeloPress), Danielson and Westfahl discuss the importance of core training and offer plans for cyclists of all levels.
The book was published during Danielson's ban for doping in 2005-06. He was one of 11 teammates of Lance Armstrong who testified against the legendary cyclist. His six-month ban was due to be lifted March 1.
Danielson's book will get your attention on Page 9, where bold type proclaims some great news: "Stop Doing Crunches!"
Westfahl says core training somehow has come to mean abdominal training leading to muscular imbalance.
"Cyclists should rarely, if ever, do crunches," she said. "It only perpetuates and exacerbates back problems."
In the book, Danielson writes that crunches "made me more hunched over and contributed to my low-back pain."
So, instead of doing that dreaded exercise, Westfahl recommends functional core training.
This starts, she says, by understanding that the core is much, much more than just the four abdominal muscles. Your core is more than 30 muscles from your thighs to your upper torso that connect to your spine. They includes hamstrings, quadriceps and glutes.
A weak core results in poor posture and an increased chance of overuse injuries. But a cyclist with a strong core find increased power, acceleration, balance and reduce their chance of injury.
The book offers 15 training programs for riders ranging from beginners to pros.
Westfahl said the movements primarily mimic the position you'd be in on a bike.
"Many of the exercises involve a plank position and moving your arms and legs," she said.
Westfahl's success with Danielson has led to her helping other pro cyclists, sometimes even holding sessions half a world away via Skype.
Additionally, she regularly sees recreational cyclists complaining of chronic upper and lower back, neck and shoulder pain.
Proper core training almost always resolves the problem.
"This can wake up a lot of muscles that have shut off," Westfahl said. "And once you realize you have all these muscles you've been ignoring it can make a huge difference."
