An employee of Robbins Recycle on highway 119 in Pineville, notified the sheriff’s office of a suspicious transac- tion last week when a man brought around 160 pounds of bronze markers and other dec- orations to sell as scrap metal. George Robbins, owner of the salvage business, said that the practice is fairly common. "I've got them before from Harlan County and we've had them quite often," Robbins said. Since salvage yards like the one Robbins owns are required by law to record iden- tifying information about any- one who sales to them, police know the identity of the man who sold the property. “At this point, we’re trying to... identify these plates, where they came from and if they were stolen or not,” Deputy David Brock of the Bell County Sheriff’s Office explained. The cooperation of Robbins and other owners and operators of salvage businesses are essen- tial to tracking down sellers of stolen property, Brock noted, and he said that he is confident that such criminals will be caught. "If you bring it to places like this, they're gonna go ahead and take it. And it's just a matter of time before we catch up with you. Because we know the items are stolen and we're work- ing on it," said Brock.

Top US officer says riskof war rising in Koreas
BAGHDAD— The danger of war orhostilities is rising on the Korean peninsu-la, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is"a very unpredictable guy," the top U.S.military officer said Monday.
Adm. Mike Mullen said North Koreahas raised the ante in its aggression againstSouth Korea.
Mullen told troops in Iraq that the old titfor tat pattern with North Korea haschanged.
"It's changed out there, and it's danger-ous. Increasingly dangerous," Mullen saidduring an informal question and answersession with troops.
He said the North's provocations aretied to preparations for Kim's son to takepower.
China is the only nation with the powerto rein in North Korea, and it should do so,Mullen said. He made that point duringvisits to South Korea and Japan last week.China has so far done little to condemn its
traditional ally for actions that include thesinking of a South Korean warship and theshelling of a disputed island.
Bulgarians: 'LastChristmas' is most
irksome carol SOFIA, Bulgaria—Bulgarians have
named Wham's "Last Christmas" the mostannoying Christmas song ever.
An advertising agency says nearly 19percent of the 28,110 votes cast in anonline poll named the song. It was record-ed in 1984 by the British duo Wham, madeup of George Michael and Andrew Ridge-ley.
Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christ-mas" placed second among the ten fea-tured songs, with more than 15 percent ofthe vote.
Yordan Zhechev, creative director ofthe DDB agency, which organized thepoll, urged radio stations not to include thepoll winners in their Christmas programs ifthey want to keep their audience.
Elizabeth Hurley announcessplit from husband
LONDON — British actress and model ElizabethHurley says she has separated from her Indian hus-band of three years, Arun Nayar.
Hurley's announcement on her Twitter accountcomes amid reports in British tabloids linking herromantically to Australian cricket star Shane Warne.Warne on Monday confirmed he has also split fromhis wife.
"Not a great day," Hurley, 45, tweeted Sunday."For the record, my husband Arun & I separated a fewmonths ago."
The couple married in 2007 at a castle outside ofLondon. They followed up the private civil ceremonywith a lavish and traditional Hindi wedding in Jod-phur, India.
Hurley, 45, dated actor Hugh Grant for more than adecade and has an eight-year-old son, Damian, from arelationship with film producer Steve Bing.
Rapper Ja Rule pleads guilty inNY weapon case
NEW YORK— Rapper Ja Rule on Monday plead-ed guilty to attempted criminal possession of aweapon stemming from a July 2007 stop of his luxu-ry sports car.
Wearing dark-blue jeans and a black sweater, therapper said "guilty" and answered "yes" in a low voiceto a judge's questions.
"Because of your guilty plea here today, you'll havea record of having committed a violent felony. This isa very serious matter," Manhattan state SupremeCourt Justice Richard Carruthers told the rapper.
"This isn't a good day," Ja Rule said as he left thecourt. He declined to discuss the case.
Ja Rule's lawyer, Stacey Richman, had no immedi-ate comment.
Specifically, the rapper admitted to a charge thatinvolves attempting to have a loaded gun outside
one's home or workplace.Police said they found a loaded semiautomatic
gun in a rear door of the $250,000-plus car after itwas stopped for speeding.
In court Monday, Ja Rule was promised a two-year prison sentence. He's free until sentencing,on a date yet to be set. He is due in court Feb. 9for an update.
The 34-year-old could have faced up to 15years in prison, if convicted on the gun charge.
Known for his gravelly voice and collabora-tions with artists including Ashanti and JenniferLopez, Ja Rule scored a 2002 nomination for thebest rap album Grammy Award with "Pain isLove." Born Jeffrey Atkins, he also has appearedin movies, including the 2001 film "The Fast andthe Furious" and 2003's "Scary Movie 3."
Ja Rule, 34, was leaving the Beacon Theaterwhen his car was stopped. Police said theysmelled marijuana and found a .40-caliber semiau-tomatic gun in the rear driver's side door. He was-n't charged with drug possession, and a judgethrew out the rapper's statement to police that hehad "a little bit of weed" in his pocket.

Judge in Va. strikesdown federal health
care law RICHMOND, Va— A federal judge
declared the foundation of PresidentBarack Obama's health care law unconsti-tutional Monday, ruling that the govern-ment cannot require Americans to pur-chase insurance. The case is expected toend up at the Supreme Court.
In his order, U.S. District Judge HenryE. Hudson said he will allow the law toremain in effect while appeals are heard,meaning there is unlikely to be any imme-diate impact on other provisions that havealready taken effect. The insurance cover-age mandate is not scheduled to begin until2014.
Even so, Republicans in Congress cele-brated the ruling as validation of the argu-ments they had made for months while thelaw was pending. Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va.,issued a statement urging the White Houseto agree to expedite a final ruling byappealing directly to the Supreme Courtwithout first stopping at an appeals court.
Hudson is the first federal judge tostrike down a key part of the law, whichhad been upheld by fellow federal judgesin Virginia and Michigan. Several otherlawsuits have been dismissed and still oth-ers are pending, including one filed inFlorida by 20 states.
White House health reform directorNancy-Ann DeParle said the administra-tion is encouraged by the two other judgeswho have upheld the law. She said the Jus-tice Department is reviewing Hudson's rul-ing.
The government had argued the Com-merce Clause of the Constitution gives itthe power to require people to buy healthinsurance or face a penalty.
Hudson sided with Virginia AttorneyGeneral Kenneth Cuccinelli, who arguedthe mandate overstepped the bounds of theConstitution. But he acknowledged his
court will not be the last stop."This case, however, turns on atypical
and uncharted applications of constitution-al law interwoven with subtle politicalundercurrents," Hudson wrote. "The out-come of this case has significant publicpolicy implications. And the final wordwill undoubtedly reside with a highercourt."
The Department of Justice stood by itsargument that Congress was within itsrights to enact the law.
"We are disappointed in today's rulingbut continue to believe — as other federalcourts in Virginia and Michigan have found— that the Affordable Care Act is constitu-tional," said Justice Department spokes-woman Tracy Schmaler.
The lawsuit was filed by Cuccinelli, aRepublican, in defense of a new state lawpassed in reaction to the federal overhaulthat prohibits the government from forcingstate residents to buy health insurance.
Cuccinelli argued that while the govern-ment can regulate economic activity thatsubstantially affects interstate commerce,the decision not to buy insurance amounts toeconomic inactivity that is beyond the gov-ernment's reach.
"This won't be the final round, as this willultimately be decided by the SupremeCourt, but today is a critical milestone in theprotection of the Constitution," Cuccinellisaid in a statement after the ruling.
Hudson, a Republican appointed byPresident George W. Bush, sounded sym-pathetic to the state's case when he heardoral arguments in October, and the WhiteHouse expected to lose this round.
Administration officials toldreporters last week that a negative rul-ing would have virtually no impact onthe law's implementation, noting that itstwo major provisions — the coveragemandate and the creation of new insur-ance markets — don't take effect until2014.

RememberingJane Melton12-16-2009
To the Editor:Have you ever met someone for the
very first time and just knew you wouldlove them forever? Well, that happensonce in a while. We mostly think of thatrelationship with lifetime companion.Occasionally, however, one is fortunateenough to meet an ‘instant’ friend that lastsa lifetime. This is the case with Jane.
I met Jane in 1988 when looking for‘the perfect house’ for a bed and breakfast.She was THE woman to be introduced toat Action Realty. We immediately bond-ed. We both had lived in Pennsylvania (40miles apart) and both ended up in Middles-boro. I can’t begin to tell you the impactshe had on my life. She was my mentorand friend. She helped me buy THEhouse. She insisted I become a member of
the Bell County Chamber of Commerce.She was excited about being a part of thefirst B&B in Middlesboro and the Tri-Statearea. She introduced my partner, Irma Galland me to a ‘second job’ (where we mether wonderful, supportive husband Sam of50 years) so that The RidgeRunner B&Bcould stay afloat for the first several yearswhile getting established. She showeredme with enthusiasm for Middlesboro andall the good things it had to offer. Sheintroduced me to businesses, communityinvolvement, civic clubs and more.
She became my cheerleader—not onlyfor the B&B but for my life. When I intro-duced her to my new friend, Alan Mead-ows (who later became my husband), shesaid, ‘If you were to change your name,what a lovely name to have.” Alan becamean instant fan of Jane’s and felt it a privi-lege to call her his friend.
Anything Jane was involved in, sheloved and supported 100%. When lifegave her lemons, she made gallons of
lemonade! I know that is an old saying buthow if reflected Jane’s personality.
When her health deprived her of beinginvolved in activities, she was STILLinvolved. She always showed an enthusi-asm for everything and could make youwonder why you would complain if youhad a slight cold! Her energy was neverending.
Jane was the greatest friend, supporter,volunteer and lover. Yes, she was a lover:of her community, her co-workers,whether it be on committees, church,chamber or Relay for Life. She was a loverof gardening, festivals, travelling, bread-making (oh, Jane-your bread was yourtrademark!) encouraging people to be thebest they could be, her family and aboveall, her husband Sam. She was my friendand I loved her, as all that knew her lovedher. Jane-we will always remember andmiss you.

Gaby Pacheco has spent countlesshours for the past six years trying topersuade legislators to approve the
DREAM Act. She has told her personalstory, held vigils, organ-ized phone banks and,along with other "dream-ers," marched to Wash-ington on foot, collectingsignatures in support ofher cause.
All she is asking for isa chance at personalgrowth, to contribute andbe a full member of soci-ety in this country sheconsiders her own. Shewas brought here as achild from Ecuador byher parents. She excelledbeyond all expectations,earned three degrees --which she paid for her-self -- specializing in
education for children with special needs. Gaby described what it would be like if
the DREAM Act were to become law. Itwould be "as if a light would be turned onin a very dark room, and that light wouldshow so many bright things, so much tal-ent, so much desire to do great things. I
would be able to open up a center of musi-cal therapy for autistic children," she said.
For now, her life has come to a halt. Herdreams, and those of hundreds of thou-sands of young undocumented students inher situation, are being held hostage bypolitics at their worst.
The House of Representatives approvedthe DREAM Act last week, as was expect-ed, with a handful of Republicans support-ing it. But in the Senate, it's still in limbo.Senate Republicans vowed to block all leg-islation proposed by Democrats unlessthey approve tax cuts for the wealthiestAmericans. However, if and when thathappens, there is no assurance that Repub-licans will support the measure, whichmany consider a form of amnesty.
"It is a political game they are playingwith our lives," said Felipe Matos, anotherundocumented student-turned-activist,who came to the U.S. from Brazil at 14years of age. "If you take out a knife andcut yourself, you bleed, the same as every-one else. We are all alike. The only differ-ence is a piece of paper."
Like Gaby, Felipe has excelled in hisstudies. He earned an associate of artsdegree in International Studies at Miami-Dade College, where he became studentbody president, representative for the
board of trustees, and was top student inthe state of Florida and among the top 20 inthe country. To his fellow students, he wasjust another young person with leadershipqualities who spoke perfect English. Yetby not having access to a driver's license,he struggled, having to take two buses fora two-hour ride that would take 20 minutesin a car and not being able to get a librarycard to research his work. Felipe wouldlike to become a biology professor, butwould need to have at least six months ofinternship experience. He is now workingon his bachelor of arts in business adminis-tration.
However dim, there is a light at the endof the tunnel. Sen. Harry Reid, a proponentof the DREAM Act, postponed the vote fora week to reintroduce the House versioninstead. That provides a little more time fornegotiations, reconciliations and lobbying.
Senate members who oppose theDREAM Act can take into considerationthat, according to a poll by First Focus, 70percent of Americans support it, as doDefense Secretary Robert Gates andretired Gen. Colin Powell. They also cantake into account that the CongressionalBudget Office estimates that the DREAMAct would reduce the deficit by $2.2 bil-lion and increase revenues by $1.7 billion
by 2020. And that, according to the UCLANorth American Integration and Develop-ment Center, the total earnings of DREAMAct beneficiaries during the course of theirworking lives would be between $1.4 tril-lion and $3.6 trillion.
For Gaby Pacheco, failure to pass theDREAM Act would mean she would haveto "continue walking like a zombie, like aperson without a soul, having extraordi-nary abilities and not being able to putthem into practice."
For Felipe, it would be a call to action."With fear, you have two options: You canhave the kind of fear that paralyzes you, oryou can have the kind that propels you tomove forward and fight," he said.
Felipe does not lose hope that he willone day be a teacher: "The only way out ofpoverty is through education. That isthe one battle that I would most like tofight."
Let's hope the Senate does the rightthing and turns the dreamers' dream intoreality.

Bad boyfriend PTSDDEAR ANNIE: I am a 26-year-
old woman, recently engaged tomy live-in boyfriend. The otherday, I came across an online con-versation he had with an ex-flingof his. I know I shouldn't havesnooped, but the word “marriage”came up and I got curious. In theconversation, he said she wouldalways have a piece of his heartand told her that “in another uni-verse,” he would have married her.
I feel completely betrayed. Myboyfriend says the conversationwas private and was meant to bringhim closure so he could continueto move forward comfortably andconfidently into our marriage. Andbesides, it was none of my busi-ness and I could not possiblyunderstand. I am furious. I feel thiswas inappropriate and hurtful. I nolonger trust him and am having agreat deal of difficulty movingbeyond this.
My last three boyfriends allcheated, and one was also physi-cally abusive. I suffer fromextreme PTSD. My therapist toldme it was a miracle that I was ableto take steps toward trusting anoth-er person. Now I am back at squareone. Am I foolish to stay with myfiance after he did something likethis, knowing it would hurt me? Orcould this, in fact, have been a con-versation to gain closure, as hesaid? — Boston
DEAR BOSTON: We areinclined to give your boyfriend thebenefit of the doubt, although heshould not have kept his corre-spondence a secret. You and yourfiance need to have a long talk,
perhaps with your therapist, abouthow fragile your sense of securityis and how he needs to be transpar-ent in his dealings in order tocement the trust between you. If heis open and honest, it will bolsteryour confidence in the relationshipand you will not feel the need tosnoop.
DEAR ANNIE: I shower daily,but do not use a washcloth. I preferto suds up my hands and wash myentire body that way.
My sister tells me that unless I usea washcloth, I am not cleaning myselfwell enough. I do not agree. I feelsparkling clean after each shower.What do you say? — Clean as aWhistle in Upstate New York
DEAR CLEAN: As long as youare getting to all the nooks andcrannies of your body, you aredoing an adequate job. Most folksfind that they are more thoroughwhen they use something otherthan their hands, hence the wash-cloth. This is also why some peo-ple install bidets and use detach-able showerheads.
DEAR ANNIE: I read the letterfrom “Confused,” who wants tohyphenate her name, but her fianceis opposed to it.
The women in my family have atradition of using their maidennames in place of their middlenames. This custom started withmy great-great-grandmother. Iwent from being Jane Anne Doe toJane Doe Smith. My daughter,Louise Mary Smith, becameLouise Smith Jones when she mar-ried. In addition to allowing us toretain a part of our identities, it hassimplified tracing our genealogy,making us aware of the maidennames of the women in our past.
This is an easy way to keep ourmaiden names without the cumber-some process of hyphenatingthem. It is not a new idea — MaryTodd Lincoln did it, as did MarthaCustis Washington and other his-torical female figures. I'm proud tohave my maiden name as part ofmy legal name, and my husbandand I are quite pleased that ourdaughter has continued this prac-tice. I hope this may be of somehelp. — Kay in Indy
DEAR KAY: We think this is asplendid idea and helpful for fami-ly trees. (However, as a historicalaside, “Custis” was not MarthaWashington's maiden name. It washer first husband's surname.George was her second husband.Her maiden name was Dandridge.)

Extendedwarranties:purchase or
pass?From iPads, gaming systems, co
puters and even major appliances –home electronics may be at the top ofof many holiday wish lists this year.But before you make that big-ticketpurchase be aware that you’ll likely beencouraged to buy an extended war-ranty to go with it. But are they worththe money?
Angie List, the nation’s premiereprovider of consumer ratings andreviews, offers advice on extendedwarranties, when you should purchaseand when you should pass.
• Details: Some manufacturers havelonger and better factory warrantiesthan others, so check out the termsfirst. You might decide to go withProduct B over Product A becauseProduct B has a 12 month parts andlabor warranty, compared to 90 daysfor Product A.
• Know your options: Your creditcard company might offer an addition-al warranty if you use their card tomake thepurchase.

If you’re buying an expensive piece of equipment,you might be able to add it to your homeowner’s pol-icy for less than the cost of an extended warranty.Some retailers even offer free extended warranties.
• Shop around: Different retailers offer differentplans. You might pay $100 for an extended warrantyat one store and find a similar plan at another store for$50. Also, don’t feel pressured to make a decision atthe time of purchase. Most extended warranties can bepurchased any time before the manufacturer’s cover-age ends, giving you a chance to try the item out anddetermine how well it works and the potential for adefect. If you send in the original warranty card, manymanufacturers will contact you about extending thecoverage before it expires.
• Read the fine print: Do you have to send the prod-uct off for repair or will it be fixed in your home? Ifyou have to take the item to a repair center, is there anauthorized center in your area? One Angie’s Listmember in Cleveland found out he would have todrive an hour to Akron to have his item repaired underthe extended warranty. Also, ask your salespersonwhat happens to the warranty if the store goes out ofbusiness.
• Check the terms: Your manufacturer’s warrantyis free, so avoid paying for extended warranties thatstart from the date of purchase instead of at the end ofthe factory coverage. Of the poll respondents whoused their warranty, nearly 75 percent said they need-ed service within the first two years. Also, mostextended warranties do not cover accidental damage,
so if you’re worried about breaking your laptopscreen, additional protection might not matter. Con-sider your homeowner’s policy for coverage of acci-dental damage.
• Research the product: Do your homework and askyourself some questions before you buy, like; how hasthis product type performed in the past? Do you havethe financial means to repair or replace the item if itbreaks? Would you be more likely to purchase a newunit if this one breaks or would you pay to have itrepaired? Can you wait for the repair to be made or isthis an item you can’t live without? How quickly willthe technology change and will you be ready toupgrade by the time this one wears out?

Throughout the boys' var-sity match, the score showedno clear leader: the Pioneersled by 8 points at halftime,while JFWA had a 9 pointadvantage during the secondhalf. As the clock countedout the last seconds of regu-lation time, the Knights led

Even during overtime, thescored stayed balanced, andthe two teams were tied at70 as the timer ran out again.It was in the last five sec-onds of the game that theAcademy pulled ahead,when Cody Standifer passedthe ball to junior Noah Leo,who nailed a three-pointshot to win the game.

JFWA boys pull out OT win over Thomas Walker
LEXINGTON, Ky. — UK’s “blue-collar” starter, Josh Harrellson, isbeginning to have a reputation and it ismostly good.
The lone Wildcat senior from St.Charles, Missouri,has been getting someattention from admir-ing folks lately.
“He’s the motherhen out there,” Bos-ton University coachPatrick Chambersrecently said of the 6-10, 275-pounder.
Said Kentuckycoach John Caliparilast week, “I got agreat call from anNBA buddy of minesaying, ‘I really likeyour big white kid.’”
And Indiana coachTom Crean respectsHarrellson, too. He said he wasn’t sur-prised with Harrellson’s 14-point, 12-rebound performance in Kentucky’s81-62 victory over the border rivalHoosiers Saturday at Rupp Arena.
“I think people forget that beforeJohn (Calipari) got there he was a pret-ty heralded recruit. I mean, he reallywas,” said the Hoosier coach.
“A lot of schools really wanted tohave him. He’s a big (guy) who’s verymobile and you saw the differencewhen he was out of the game and(Eloy) Vargas was in the game withwhat we did with screen-and-roll. Heguards and covers for his teammates.He is a tremendous offensive rebound-er.”
Before coming to Kentucky in 2008as a junior college transfer from South-western Illinois College where he spenthis freshman season, Harrellson con-sidered Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Mis-souri, Ohio State, Purdue and St. Louis.
In the first half, Harrellson delighteda crowd of 24,337 with back-to-backdunks, which were his first stuffs ofthis young season. He also posted hissecond double-double of the season asthe Wildcats improved their record to7-2.
“It feels great,” said Harrellson ofhis getting a double-double.
“We prepared all week for howgood Harrellson was on the back-boards, and as much really as we pre-pared for anybody else on their team,”said Crean, who is in his third year atthe Hoosier helm. “He had a greatgame. He’s fully capable and they’re anexcellent team. There’s absolutely nodoubt about that.
“This is a win for them that will real-ly help them down the road because itwas a hard fought game and they con-tinued to make plays and they trustedwhat John (Calipari) wanted and theydid it. They were rewarded with thewin.”
The exciting matchup was reallyclose for the first 32 minutes or sobefore Kentucky broke away, outscor-ing IU 25-5 the rest of the way. Andthe Wildcats managed to win despitehitting only 36.1 percent of their bas-kets (as compared to Indiana’s 42.6percent).
After playing 182 minutes in the firsteight games of the season, Harrellson,interestingly, had his first foul shots ofthe year, making all four tries.

Cats pull away from IUBY WILL GRAVESAP Sports Writer
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) —Kentucky coach John Calipari’smessage to DeAndre Ligginswas simple after watching thejunior defensive stopper struggleat times during the openingweeks of the season.
Calipari told Liggins if he did-n’t get out on the floor and do allthe little things he did so well lastseason — grabbing loose ballsand sticking his hands in passinglanes — he might as well fill outa job application because he was-n’t going to see much time on thefloor.
Message received.Energized by a handful of
hustle plays that have become histrademark, Liggins scored acareer-high 19 points to lead the17th-ranked Wildcats to a physi-cal 81-62 win over Indiana onSaturday.
“I just felt diving on floors,
defending, bringing that spark tomy team, that’s what I do,” Lig-gins said. “That’s what hestressed to me.”
Liggins kickstarted Ken-tucky’s game-ending 25-5 runwith a 3-pointer, but it was hisplay at the other end of the floorthat got the Wildcats (7-2) going.
He tied up Indiana’s ChristianWatford on one drive to the bas-ket and vaulted over traffic in thelane to snare a couple of crucialrebounds as Kentucky pulledaway to win for the 14th time inthe last 17 meetings.
“He rebounded the ball,” Cali-pari said. “You understand thelast game (against Notre Dame)he had one rebound and then ...had a ball in the corner where hefell on the floor and couldn’tbring it in? Last year we know hegot every one of those balls.”
Liggins wasn’t doing that in thefirst half against the Hoosiers andfound himself on the bench when
the Wildcats came back out on thefloor holding a tenuous one-pointlead. A quick foul to TerrenceJones, however, forced Calipari toput Liggins in the game a little ear-lier than the coach wanted.
Harlan County holds offLady Jackets 53-43
BY JAY COMPTONSports Editor
The Middlesboro LadyJackets couldn’t overcomea slow start Saturdayevening as they dropped a53-43 decision to HarlanCounty in their districtopener.
Middlesboro hit just twoof nine shots in the firstquarter while HarlanCounty got four pointseach inside from SaraEvans, Kalee Carroll andTorri Constant to build a17-5 lead.
The Lady Jackets madea couple of runs in the sec-ond half and got as close asseven points. But The LadyBears were answer in thepost and did enough fromthe free throw line to holdon for the ten-point win.
“We keep talking aboutour intensity and ouraggressiveness. It’s just notbeen there, we’ve playedhard in spurts,” Middles-boro coach Elgie Greensaid. “We’re not real big inthe post, but we’re notdoing a good job of boxingout and going after the bas-ketball.You don’t have tobe six-foot tall and weigh215 to be aggressive goingafter the ball.
“I thought we had agood week of practice. Wespecifically for two daysdid nothing but work onboxing out an rebounding.We did drills on aggres-siveness where kids wouldgo one-on-one against eachother on the floor after thebasketball. But it just did-n’t carry over to the game.”
Carroll finished with 11points to lead Harlan Coun-ty along with MirandaDavenport. Johnnie Parkeradded 10 points, WhitneyGilliam eight, Constantseven and Evans six.
MHS senior CarissaOverbay hit four three-pointers in the game andled all scorers with 21points. Ashley Mason fin-ished with 11 while sopho-more Carissa Padgettadded seven and RayannMoyers four.
Overbay and Mason hit3-pointers late in the sec-ond quarter to bring theLady Jackets within 31-21by halftime.
Middlesboro went tosome full-court pressure inthe second half. Padgett hita pair of baskets in the painand added a free throw andMoyers scored inside with4:01 to play in the third tobring the Lady Jacketswithin 36-28.
The teams tradedturnovers and Overbay wasfouled driving to the basketand hit one free throw tocut the lead to seven, 36-29, at the 3:15 mark.
“We got a couple ofgood defensive stops thereand got it down to seven oreight,” Green said. “Butthen we’d come down atthe other end of the floorand we just couldn’t put itin the basket. “
Harlan County got theball inside to Constant,who converted a three-point play to push the leadback to ten.
Parker hit a jumper andthen a 3-pointer as theLady Bear lead grew to 44-29 by the 1:34 mark.
“We let Johnnie hit athree and then they justkept pounding it into thepos,” said Green. “As thegame went on we did a bet-ter job of defending theweak side, we got a coupledeflections, a couple steals.But they just kept pound-ing it inside and it kind ofwore on us.”

Calipari was obviouslytickled with Harrellson’ssolid performance.
“I was happy withJosh,” said the Wildcatmentor. “Like I told Josh,‘There’s not that manydominating big guys outthere.’ Josh can be what-ever he wants to be. He’sin better shape. We playan offense that’s perfectfor him.”
The Wildcat boss jok-ingly added that Harrell-son “can paint his owncanvas. He can paint hisown masterpiece. He cando whatever he wants.”
Last season, as you’llrecall, Harrellson was arole player seeing limitedaction, averaging fourminutes a game, playingbehind the likes ofDeMarcus Cousins,Patrick Patterson andDaniel Orton.
Harrellson has said hecouldn’t complain muchabout his lack of playingtime with three NBA first-round draft picks ahead ofhim.
While Harrellson, whois perhaps the most like-able player on the squad,said he won’t try to be theJohn Wall of the team,adding that he can helpthe Wildcats with greatrebounding and defense.
And he is starting to do
some of that this winter.He is definitely taking abig step, playing as a veryimportant starter on ayoung team that lacksdepth on the frontcourt. InKentucky’s 74-67 winover then-No. 13 Wash-ington in the Maui Invita-tional, he grabbed acareer-high 14 rebounds.
Harrellson, who alsoblocked two shots againstthe Hoosiers, has seen hisconfidence surge.
“At the beginning ofthe year I wouldn’t try toput it back up, I would tryto kick it out. Now when Iget the ball I look to scorenow and try to be moreaggressive,” said Harrell-son. “I’m always anoption when I relocate.(My teammates) started tothrow it and I was finish-ing it. If I start finishing it,I’m going to be more con-fident and they will bemore confident throwingit to me.”
Although he has been,for the most part, a pro-ductive player this seasonfor the Wildcats, Harrell-son, whose nickname isJorts, still drives his coachnuts at times.
“Now he still doesthings you want to punchhim in the mouth like‘Why would you dothat?’” Calipari said. “Butthe reality of it is, he hasgotten better and that’s allwe should be about.”
If Harrellson continuesto improve, it’s pretty safe
to say that Calipari won’tbe acting crazy very often.
* * *UK is conducting Final
Exams this week and theWildcats’ next game isSaturday night when theyhost coach Sean Woodsand his Mississippi ValleyState University squad.
Woods, an “Unforget-table” member of the out-standing 1991-92 Ken-tucky club, has his green-and-white team playing avery tough schedule onthe road this season.

Calipari’s move paidoff with Liggins’ best per-formance of the season. Hefinished with a career-highnine rebounds, added twosteals and didn’t turn itover in 37 minutes.
“His intensity helps usout,” said Kentucky guardBrandon Knight, whoadded 18 points. “He kindof leads us in that aspectand that’s what pushes usto be better defensively.”
The Wildcats neededthat aggressiveness afterallowing the Hoosiers (7-2) to hang around for thefirst 30 minutes. Indianafrustrated Kentucky withphysical play in a ruggedgame that featured 47fouls, a number of whichsent bodies tumbling to theground.
“They were like ‘let’sjust come out and be themore aggressive team andthe tougher team andmaybe they’ll back downand they’ll fold,’” saidKentucky center Josh Har-rellson, who finished with14 points and 12 rebounds.“But (we) did a better jobin the second half of justbeing tougher and playingharder.”
Watford led Indianawith 19 points and ninerebounds but the Hoosiersran out of gas in the final10 minutes after a Watford
3-pointer gave them a 57-56 lead.
Indiana missed 10straight shots over a 9-minute stretch. By the timeJeremiah Rivers ended thedrought on a layup with 38seconds remaining Indianawas trailing by 17.
“They made a few runslate in the second half thatwe were not able to sustainor challenge,” Rivers said.
Kentucky shot just 36percent from the floor byremained perfect at homeduring Calipari’s tenure bygetting to the free throwline and dominating thelane. The Wildcats outre-bounded Indiana 45-33,outscored the Hoosiers atthe free throw line by 19points and had 12 second-chance points.
“If you’re going to winyou’ve got to be able tomake shots and for most ofthe game we did and thenat the end we didn’t andthey did,” said Indianacoach Tom Crean. “I cer-tainly would have liked tohave seen us get to the foulline a little more at the end.. but that’s part of thegame.”
It hasn’t been the easiesttwo years for Harrellsonand Liggins, holdoversfrom the Billy Gillispie erawho have struggled attimes to fit in with Cali-pari’s roster filled withMcDonald’s All-Ameri-cans.
Yet they have survivedand are starting to thrive.
Both made the “winningplays” their coach covetsagainst the Hoosiers.While Liggins picked it updefensively, Harrellsonwas pulling downrebounds and getting to thefree-throw line for the firsttime all season.
Harrellson’s play keptthe Wildcats in it in thefirst half, but Liggins andKnight made sure Indianadidn’t win at Rupp Arenafor the first time since1989.
Liggins put Kentuckyback in front with a 3-pointer two possessionslater then, after two freethrows by Knight, convert-ed a difficult lay-up in traf-fic while drawing the foul.He hit the extra shot to putKentucky up 64-57 and theWildcats slowly beganpulling away as theHoosiers unraveled.
Jones hit two freethrows, Harrellson putback a miss and by thetime Knight drilled a 3-pointer from the corner theWildcats led 71-60 with2:52 remaining.
Kentucky’s win was itsthird straight in the series.Each victory has come byat least 17 points. Caliparijoked on Friday that Ken-tucky should consider can-celing the series consider-ing the way Crean isbreathing life back into theHoosiers following theNCAA-sanction riddledtenure of predecessorKelvin Sampson.
