Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Monday activated a public telephone system on Mumbai’s city buses. Passengers can now make calls from these telephones installed on the BEST buses. Apart from the telephones, the buses will now sport closed circuit cameras for extra security. Also, a new automated fare collection system has been activated. All that the passenger has to do is to hold the ‘smart card’ in front of a reader on the bus and the reader will deduct the fare.

August 27, 2006 16:40 IST A top Russian scientist has warned that the earth will experience ‘global cooling’ in next 50 years, followed by a period of global warming in the early 22nd century.
“On the basis of our solar emission research, we have developed a scenario of global cooling of the earth’s climate by the middle of this century and the beginning of a regular 200-year-long cycle of global warming at the start of the 22nd century,” said Dr Habibullo Abdusamatov, the head of the space research sector of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ astronomical observatory.
Abdusamatov said he and his colleagues had concluded that a period of global cooling similar to one seen in the late 17th century – when canals froze in the Netherlands and people had to leave their dwellings in Greenland – could start in 2012-2015 and reach its peak in 2055-2060.
Environmentalists and scientists today focus on the dangers of global warming provoked by man’s detrimental effect on the planet’s climate, but global cooling – though never widely supported – is a theory postulating an overwhelming cooling of the Earth which could involve glaciations.
Abdusamatov said such climate change will have serious consequences and that authorities should start preparing for them because “climate cooling is connected with changing temperatures, especially for northern countries.”
“The Kyoto initiatives to save the planet from the greenhouse effect should be put off until better times,” he was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
He said that the global temperature maximum has been reached on the Earth and it will decline to a climatic minimum even without the Kyoto protocol on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Man comes to court drunk on DUI charge
JIM THORPE, Pa. – A man who showed up in court drunk to be sentenced for drunken driving told the judge he routinely drinks 12 beers a day “and then some.”
Carbon County President Judge Roger Nanovic sentenced 25-year-old Joshua Beury yesterday to 30 days to six months in prison for contempt of court and the second-offense DUI charge.
Beury received a similar sentence on Monday for charges related to a November 6th crash which his blood-alcohol level registered 0.17, about twice the legal limit.
Beury told Nanovic he’d had two beers the night before the hearing, when his blood alcohol registered .20. He said he was on medication for bipolar disorder and other mental health issues.
