The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) has released a YouTube video that tells low-income Kentuckians how to receive assistance with their monthly telephone bills.
Lasting about six minutes, the video includes an introduction by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, information from AT&T Kentucky President Mary Pat Regan and Cathy Allgood Murphy of AARP Kentucky, and a concluding statement from PSC Chairman David Armstrong.
The video is available at the PSC website, psc.ky.gov, or at this location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8RTJ0sZtTM.
It includes information about the Lifeline and Link-Up programs, which offer assistance paying for either landline or wireless telephone service.
The Lifeline program provides a reduction in the monthly basic phone service charge and also waives deposits and activation charges. Link-Up offers a one-time credit of up to $30 for installation of telephone service.
More information on both programs is available on the PSC website.
“The PSC wants to increase participation in the Lifeline and Link-Up programs,” Armstrong said. “We hope that this video will reach some of those Kentuckians who are eligible but who may not even be aware that they can receive this assistance.”
The PSC is an independent agency attached for administrative purposes to the Energy and Environment Cabinet. It regulates more than 1,500 gas, water, sewer, electric and telecommunication utilities operating in Kentucky and has approximately 100 employees.

The georgia arrests are very common but usually nobody knows what to do when this happens, the very first step you should take after an arrest is to document all surrounding facts, events, and circumstances leading up to your confrontation with police, both prior to and after a vehicle pullover, during the time you spent with the arresting officer(s), and inside the police vehicle. You should also contact a criminal lawyer to explain your situation in detail and provide you with legal advice.

Leland Melvin, a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut, will be a guest speaker at Campbellsville University during a three-day visit Sept. 26-28.
Melvin will speak at several events on campus including an address to students at FIRST CLASS at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26 in Ransdell Chapel, 401 N. Hoskins Ave., Campbellsville, and an event Tuesday, Sept. 27 in the Banquet Hall of the Badgett Academic Support Center, 110 University Drive, Campbellsville, from noon to 1 p.m. Both are open to the public.
He will also address the President’s Club Sept. 27 as the keynote speaker, speak to the Board of Trustees, appear on John Chowning’s Dialogue on Public Issues TV program on WLCU and speak to the Fighting Tiger football team.
His addresses will concern his experiences at NASA from 1989 as a researcher through 2008 where he has experienced three in-space missions as flight engineer and astronaut including his mission to the International Space Station in November 2009.
Melvin was selected by NASA JSC in June 1998 and is the veteran of two space flights, the Atlantis in 2008 which was the 24th shuttle mission to visit the International Space Station, and the mission in November 2009 which was the 31st shuttle flight to the International Space Station during which astronaut, Nicole Stott, was brought home following her tour of duty aboard the Space Station.
Melvin, 46, has logged over 565 hours in space.
Melvin began working in the Fiber Optic Sensors group of the Nondestructive Evaluation Sciences Branch at NASA Langley Research Center in 1989 where he conducted research in the area of physical measurements for the development of advanced instrumentation for Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE).
In 1994, Melvin was selected to lead the Vehicle Health Monitoring (VHM) team for the cooperative Lockheed/NASA X-33 Reuseable Launch Vehicle (RLV) program. The team developed distributed fiber optic strain, temperature and hydrogen sensors for the reduction of vehicle operational costs and to monitor composite liquid oxygen tank and cryogenic insulation performance.
In 1996, Melvin co-designed and monitored construction of an optical NDE facility capable of producing in-line fiber optic Bragg grating strain sensors at rates in excess of 1,000 per hour. This facility will provide a means for performing advanced sensor and laser research for development of aerospace and civil health monitoring systems.
KSP will partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) on September 25, 2010 in a collaborative effort to remove potentially dangerous controlled substances from home medicine cabinets. Collection activities will take place from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. at every KSP Post across the state.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer encouraged citizens to take advantage of this opportunity to rid their home of expired or unwanted prescription medications.
“Prescription Drug abuse is the Nation’s fastest-growing drug problem and Kentucky has been identified as a hot spot for this type of activity,” said Brewer.
“The unique aspect of this initiative is that it is free and anonymous. No requests for identification will be made to anyone bringing medications in to KSP Posts,” added Brewer.
Lt. David Jude, spokesperson for KSP, advised that the program is designed to be easy for citizens and offered the following tips for those interested in participating:
• Participants may dispose of medication in its original container or by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box.
• All solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in consumer containers may be accepted. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container. The depositor should ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.
• Intra-venous solutions, injectibles, and syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by blood-borne pathogens.
• Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in collection containers.
“This effort symbolizes KSP’s commitment to halting the disturbing rise in addiction caused by the misuse and abuse of unwanted prescription drugs and serves as another means of keeping drugs out of the hands of our young people,” added Jude.
