KENTUCKY
A Kentucky judge has granted a same-sex couple the right to divorce, despite the fact the state doesn't recognize gay marriage. Lawyers argued that the women--Alysha Romero and Rebecca Sue Romero--should be able to divorce in Kentucky, where they live now, instead of having to move back to Massachusetts. Jefferson Family Court Judge Joseph O'Reilly said in his ruling that not allowing the divorce would violate a guarantee in the state constitution that all people should be treated as equals. The court's ruling comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to hear any gay marriage cases.

Grayson County deputies have said that a missing 13-year-old girl appears to be on a crime spree with her boyfriend. Cheyenne Phillips, 13, has been missing since Jan. 3, and is believed to be with her presumed boyfriend, Dalton Hayes, 18, according to police. Sheriff Norman Chaffins said the couple have evaded deputies, and now they're accused of stealing two cars. Chaffins said the two stole a car and crashed it, and then ran from police and stole another car. The two are now believed to be in a red 2006 Toyota Tacoma. Authorities have said that a gun, without ammunition, was inside the car; Authorities have also said the two do not have any cash, so they're worried about what measures the couple may take to get money. If you see the couple, you're asked to call 911.

Cheryl Castle of Lowmansville is the first patient in Kentucky to receive surgery to treat her epileptic seizures, having the Neuropace RNS system implanted by a neurosurgery team at UK led by Dr. Craig Van Horne this past November. The device, which works similarly to a pacemaker, according to Dr. Horne, continuously monitors electrical activity in the brain, detecting abnormalities and delivering electrical stimulation to treat oncoming seizures. Doctors from UK Heathcare's Kentucky Neuroscience Institute announced the procedure a success yesterday morning, following Castle's reports of improved health and living conditions.
