• UK professor raises privacy issues with state test results
  A University of Kentucky business professor says it's all too easy to figure out standardized test performances of minorities at schools across the country using publicly available data and a little bit of math. That, essentially, would violate federal laws that require individuals' test scores remain private, said Krish Muralidhar, a professor of decision science and information systems at UK's Gatton School of Business. Only the performance of groups of students should be released publicly, according to the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act. While school systems don't publish scores for small groups with fewer than 10 students in them, Muralidhar said its often simple to calculate certain individuals' results when a school has a few small groups of ethnic minorities or other minorities, such as students who receive free lunches. "To me, it's a very prevalent problem," said Muralidhar, who has researched privacy issues with personal data in businesses.
• Memorial service set for boys who died in Louisville fire
  The family of Louisville philanthropists Irv and Cathy Bailey will hold a memorial service for the Baileys' two grandsons who died in a fire Friday morning. The memorial service for Solon L. Bailey, 12, and William T. "Liam" Bailey, 10, will be Tuesday at 11 a.m. at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church on Wolf Pen Branch Road in Harrods Creek. Immediately following the service, a visitation will be held at the church in Graves Hall, according to a statement released by their family. Solon and William, who were visiting with their parents from Barre, Vt., died in the early morning fire Friday that destroyed Irv and Cathy Bailey's home in eastern Jefferson County. Irv Bailey, a prominent businessman, and Cathy Bailey, who is active in Republican politics and served as the U.S. ambassador to Latvia from 2005 to 2008, were treated for non-life threatening injuries at University of Louisville Hospital and were released early Saturday. Three firefighters also were hospitalized. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
• Shoppers return to mall for sales, not to bring back gifts
  It was better to buy than to return on the day after Christmas in Lexington. Stores in and around Fayette Mall attracted a steady flow of customers, but most were carrying bags and boxes out rather than hauling in unwanted or ill-fitting Christmas gifts. "(There were) not many returns this year. And not many people standing in lines," said Donna Grayson of Tollesboro in Lewis County, who was waiting to be picked up outside the mall with her granddaughter, Allison Voyles, 10. They hit up the sale at Bath Body Works for three shopping bags worth of lotions, perfumes and hand soap. And Grayson said she was pleasantly surprised the crowds weren't worse. "We figured it was going to be a lot busier," she said.
• A writer of political fiction knows it from the heart
  FORT MITCHELL When attorney Rick Robinson shared with a friend his dream to write a novel, he was given classic advice: Write what you know. What Robinson knows about is politics, including experience advising various campaigns over the last 25 years and working for six years in U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning's Washington office. "You know more about politics than anyone in Northern Kentucky," said Tom Saelinger, the friend, banker and client of Robinson's. "You tell these great stories about the campaigns and being on the road." Robinson took the advice. In 2008, after just 30 days of writing, he had 150 pages of a political thriller.

• Dryer causes fire at Versailles Road motel
  A quick response by Lexington firefighters and a sprinkler system prevented a building at the Day's Motel at 1500 Versailles Road from going up in flames Saturday evening. An industrial dryer overheated in the basement laundry room, said Lexington Fire Maj. Mike Tracy. "The sprinkler kept it in check until we got here," Tracy said. Upon the arrival of four engines and two ladder trucks, firefighters quickly knocked down flames. Only the laundry room and the floor of the room above was damaged. No one was hurt. "They have the best response," Mahmoud Shalash, co-owner of the motel, said of firefighters. "Within seconds not minutes they were here."
• Pair who were shot at arrested for robbery
  Lexington police have charged a Nicholasville woman and Lexington man with first-degree robbery Saturday afternoon after officers were called to investigate shots that were fired at the car the pair were driving. Officers caught up with Dora McElroy, 43 of Nicholasville, at 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Goodwill Industries store on New Circle Road where they found a bullet hole in the green Buick LeSabre she had been in. After interviewing McElroy and Donald R. Adams, 34 of Lexington, police say the two stole money from someone on Suncrest Avenue near North Broadway, said Lt. Chris Van Brackel. As of late Saturday afternoon, police still were trying to identify the person who fired at least one shot at McElroy and Adams' car as they were backing out of the driveway of the Suncrest Avenue house. The incident is under investigation.
• Admitted prostitute accidently stabbed herself, Lexington police say
  Lexington police, responding to a report of a stabbing Saturday afternoon near Brentwood Court, found instead that their victim was an admitted prostitute who cut herself accidently while leaving the car of a potential john. When police met up with the woman at the Brentwood post office she told officers that she and her potential client "were going to find some place to perform her business when she found out he didn't have any money, and they got into an argument," said Lt. Chris Van Brackel. The woman, who has not been identified, took out a knife she carried for protection and demanded to be let out. And when she got out of the car on Brentwood Court in north Lexington, she cut her hand with the knife, Van Brackel said. No charges were filed in the incident.
• Lexingtonians will notice a new fee on their water bills
  If you live in Lexington, there will be a new charge on your Kentucky American Water bill starting in January. It has nothing to do with how much water you use. It's the city's new water quality management fee. For everyone who lives in a single-family residence or duplex or on a farm, the monthly "LFUCG Wtr Qual Mgmt Fee" will be $4.32. For stores, factories, churches and residences larger than a duplex, it could be much more. It also could be confusing. But don't panic. Operators are standing by to answer your questions.

• UK researcher helps develop Ruppy, a glowing dog
  Ruppy, a genetically engineered beagle that glows, lives in Korea, but he's creating a stir at the University of Kentucky. The fluorescent canine, infused with a gene from a sea anemone and known as the world's first transgenic dog, isn't really a single animal. Initially there were three "Ruppy" puppies short for ruby puppy, not a tip of the hat to the legendary UK basketball coach or the arena all beagles
