You have to wonder what the Browns were doing with their offense. Josh Gordon was held without a catch in the first half and finished with just three catches and a touchdown, but that was in garbage time when the Bears were simply playing prevent defense.
The Bears came into the game with the 32nd ranked rush defense, but the Browns only ran the ball 17 times, including some trickeration Wild Cat down near the goal line that set up one of their two offensive touchdowns. Tight end Jordan Cameron looked like another mismatch but he only finished the game with three catches, a couple of which were against the prevent defense.
The Bears managed a pick-6 by Zackary Bowman, one of a pair of interceptions while filling in for Charles Tillman today. Tim Jennings had a nice game while Jeremiah Ratliff continues to round into shape and make an impact along the way. Chris Conte was his usual bad self, dropping a sure interception and later taking a horrible angle on the Josh Gordon touchdown.
With the win, the Bears move into first place in the NFC North with an 8-6 record. The Detroit Lions, who sit at 7-6 and hold the tie-breaker over the Bears, host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The pressure will be on the Lions not to go all Lions all over themselves and blow it. The Ravens will certainly be motivated as well, with their playoff hopes for a Wild Card hanging in the balance too.
Next up, the Bears head to Philadelphia to face the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles lost to a shorthanded Vikings team 48-30 in the Metrodome and could be facing a must-win game depending on what happens with the Cowboys the next couple of Sunday. The Cowboys host the Packers today and head to DC to face the RGIII-less Redskins before the Eagles take the field against the Bears next Sunday night.

SABMiller's South African subsidiary, SAB Ltd, in partnership with Rhodes University, has pioneered an environmentally sustainable treatment system for brewery waste-water, with the resulting output being used to successfully rear fish and grow lettuce. This groundbreaking research, known as Project Eden, aims to identify a scaleable and transferable method of waste-water treatment that might be applied to other breweries across the group. The pilot plant site is based at SAB's iBhayi Brewery in Port Elizabeth.
A team from Rhodes University's Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science recovered water from brewery effluent using High Rate Algal Ponding (HRAP) and Constructed Wetland (CW) technology. The treated effluent was used to rear edible, freshwater fish and grow hydroponic lettuce.
The water was successfully treated to water discharge standards using a pilot plant downstream of the brewery's anaerobic digestion effluent treatment plant. The water generated is currently only suitable for discharge into saline estuaries, namely the Swartkops River flowing nearby iBhayi Brewery, as it contains a concentration of chlorides.
Further investment in the Project Eden plant to reduce the conductivity of the effluent post the Constructed Wetland, and reduce chloride concentrates, would result in the treated water meeting general discharge standards. SAB is following all necessary municipal requirements and processes to discharge the treated effluent.
At least 0.15% of iBhayi Brewery's total annual water use was treated during the pilot phase of roject Eden. Plans are under way to upscale the Project Eden plant to treat 30% of iBhayi Brewery's effluent and ultimately 100% of the water is to be treated depending on the success of the project.
"The preservation of our country's precious water supply is a priority. If we are to make progress on this, we need to share the responsibility and forge effective partnerships, such as we have done with Rhodes University," says Diarmaid De Burca, SAB General Manager Newlands and iBhayi Brewery
Water is a global Sustainable Development priority for SAB and is of particular importance for the company's operations in South Africa, a semi-arid, water scarce country. By its very nature, brewing is a water-intensive process. The security of water into the future is critical to the survival of SAB as a business, as well as to the communities in which the company operates. The way in which the scarce resource is managed is therefore of vital importance.
Andre Fourie, SAB Head of Sustainable Development says: "As a leading socially responsible corporate, it is imperative that we take responsibility for the impact of our operations on the environment and communities in which we operate."
"Globally, there is growing recognition of water shortages. The growth in world population, accelerated urbanisation and the pollution of water sources will combine to become a major threat to the quality and quantity of water available to companies and people."
By 2015 SABMiller aims to reduce its group water consumption to an average of 3.5 litres used to make a litre of beer. In 2008 this figure was 4.6 litres; the industry average is 5 litres. SABMiller is a founding signatory of the CEO Water Mandate, a United Nations initiative which is designed to assist companies in the development, implementation and disclosure of water sustainability policies and practices.

The Blackstone Group has abandoned its bid for Dell. That's good news for namesake founder and CEO Michael Dell, who's been jockeying to take the company private for months. But it might not bode well for the troubled firm. Blackstone had been inspecting Dell's books to decide whether it would offer $14.25 a share for control of a publicly traded Dell, said Andrew Ross Sorkin and Jeffrey Crane in The New York Times.
But in a letter to Dell's board, the private equity firm backed away from its offer, citing "an unprecedented" drop in PC volume that was "inconsistent with management's projections for modest industry growth."
So Blackstone may be out, but Carl Icahn — a shareholder who opposes the CEO's private buyout plans — is also considering a bid.
Icahn "is still a major player because he has a loud voice and owns 4.6 percent of the Dell shares," said Ronald Barusch in The Wall Street Journal. And yet, it's deemed "unlikely" that the company's board will accept Icahn's competing bid. Still, though, Michael Dell and his buyout partners will need "the vote of a majority of the Dell shares not owned by Mr. Dell's group to get past the finish line."
Dell's group has some options — it could raise its bid price or offer a stake of the private company to shareholders who oppose the buyout. But for now, the most attractive option is to simply press ahead for a vote. And "all signs point to this being a nail biter," Barusch says.
The full letter from Blackstone:
Boulder Acquisition Corp.
c/o Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C.
April 18, 2013
Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Dell Inc.
One Dell Way
Round Rock, Texas 78682
Attention: Alex Mandl, Presiding Director
Dear Alex,
I want to thank you, the Special Committee, and its advisors for inviting us into the process and for granting us due diligence access to Dell Inc. I also want to express our gratitude to Michael Dell and the management team for spending time with us and providing us with information and data relating to the business plan and financial forecasts of Dell.
You have asked for an update of our views after the intensive due diligence that we just completed. While we still believe that Dell is a leading global company with strong market positions, a number of significant adverse issues have surfaced since we submitted our letter proposal to you on March 22nd, including: (1) an unprecedented 14 percent market decline in PC volume in the first quarter of 2013, its steepest drop in history, and inconsistent with Management's projections for modest industry growth; and (2) the rapidly eroding financial profile of Dell. Since our bid submission, we learned that the company revised its operating income projections for the current year to $3.0 billion from $3.7 billion.
For the reasons set forth above, among other reasons, on behalf of Boulder Acquisition Corp., Blackstone Management Partners, Francisco Partners, Insight Venture Partners, and Riverwood Capital, I regret to inform you that we will likely not pursue this opportunity. I would welcome the opportunity to speak to you to follow up on these matters and answer any questions that you may have.

"His intrepidity had well nigh been fatal to him": Dr. John Jeffries
This past Sunday we may have celebrated the day of our national weather-groundhog with Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of another six weeks of winter, but today we celebrate National Weatherperson's Day as recognized by the National Weather Service. This date, 5 February, was chosen for to celebrate the anniversary of the 1745 birth of Dr. John Jeffries, a Bostonian who is credited as one of the nation's first weathermen, flying a hot air balloon above the city of London to take scientific weather measurements.
This fascinating individual has an equally intriguing connection with the Adams family. A Boston physician, Dr. Jeffries first crossed paths with John Adams during the Boston Massacre Trials of 1770 as a witness testifying for the defense. As the surgeon attending to Patrick Carr, one of the townspeople shot by the soldiers, Jeffries had asked Carr questions about what had happened, and Jeffries relayed to the jury what he had learned. Carr, who died of his wounds ten days later, supported the defense account that the mob pelted the soldiers with more than just snowballs and helped instigate the confrontation. Jeffries became a loyalist as the Revolution broke out and eventually left Boston, becoming a doctor in the British Army first in Nova Scotia and later set up his practice in London.
It was in Europe that that Dr. Jeffries and the Adamses crossed paths once again. While dining with Benjamin Franklin in Paris on February 14, 1785, John Quincy Adams met Dr. Jeffries who described to the guests his voyage by balloon from Dover, England, to Calais, France, the first to cross the English Channel by air. John Quincy recorded in his diary, "Dined at Dr. Franklin's with a great deal of Company, among the rest Dr. Jeffries who lately cross'd with Mr. Blanchard, from Dover to Calais. He is a small man: has not an agreeable address, but seems to be very sensible: he related his voyage: in which his intrepidity had well nigh been fatal to him: the balloon descended he says, 3/4 of a mile in 2. minutes: he and Mr. Blanchard were both of them obliged to throw almost all their cloaths in the water. At one time they were not more than 20 yards above the surface."
Several months later when John Adams became the first American Minister to Great Britain and moved to London, Dr. Jeffries became the family physician. Abigail said of him in a letter to her sister, "Dr Jeffries is our family Physician, and is really an amiable benevolent Man tho formerly he took a different side in politicks." In addition to treating the regular ailments of the family, Dr. Jeffries was present for the birth of John and Abigail's first grandchild when their daughter Nabby gave birth to William Steuben Smith in April 1787.
If you would like to learn more about Dr. John Jeffries, his family papers are available at the MHS.

LOS ANGELES — Last week, Los Angeles Unified School District floated a plan to ask parents of high school students to donate $24 per student to fund trips to high school sporting events.
According to the Daily Breeze, $650,000 was cut from the district's athletics transportation budget and if additional funds could not be raised, games could be canceled.
However, on Friday, the Breeze's breaking news blog reported that Superintendent Ramon Cortines had rescinded the request for donations, saying he would find another source for funding.
"After further review of the voluntary $24 per student transportation donation for high school sporting events this year, I have ordered this decision for a request for this voluntary fee be rescinded and have asked staff to go back and review other alternatives," Cortines told reporter Melissa Palmer.

Airbus set to boost ME bizliner market share
Airbus this morning is expected to announce more orders for the various executive and VIP versions of its single-aisle and wide-body airliners. The latest sales breakthroughs seemingly vindicate the European airframer's decision to effectively base this part of its business at a new office here in Dubai.
Francois Chazelle, Airbus vice president for executive and private aviation, is now based in this new office most of the time. The division also has offices in Toulouse, France, where the aircraft are built and completed.
The latest new business will take Airbus' total sales tally for its Airbus Corporate Jetliner, A318 Elite and A330/340/ 350/380 Prestige to beyond 150 units. One third of all orders now come from the Middle East, with almost 20 aircraft based in Saudi Arabia and more than 10 in the UAE.
Chazelle told a press conference in Dubai on Thursday that the sales have been made to a mix of private individuals, charter operators and governments. Other aircraft are based in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
"We have consistently outsold Boeing for the past four years," claimed Chazelle. As of the eve of the MEBA show, Airbus had sold 14 single-aisle aircraft (compared with nine Boeing Business Jets) and nine widebodies (compared with four VIP 747s and 787s).

Four-month closure on the 405 in West LA
August 2, 2013 10:15 AM
Starting Saturday, Aug. 3, the northbound off-ramp to Sunset Boulevard will be closed for 120 days. Westside residents and people who normally use the northbound Sunset Blvd. exit will need to prepare for possible delays, consider alternate means of transportation and avoid the area during rush hour.
It's a long time to be without one of the 405's major exits, but it's all for the greater good. Metro officials say that the construction will result in a new ramp that's 60 percent longer, which means it'll hold 60 percent more vehicles and hopefully keep Sunset Boulevard flowing more smoothly.
In the end, the new off-ramp will have two right-turn lanes headed east on Sunset Blvd., and one left-turn lane headed west.

To diminish wrinkles caused by the aging process or squinting at a Clint Eastwood movie, the team administers injections of Botox and dermal fillers. The crew also customizes medi facials with organic Osmosis products and addresses hyperpigmentation or blemishes with antioxidant peels by CosMedix. The med spa is housed within a modernistic white building with clean lines and a geometric design; in earth-toned private treatment rooms, candles flicker from within recessed shelves. The staff aims to ensure discreetness and privacy by eliminating public waiting rooms and creating a VIP-like experience.
The team at Advanced Skin Care & More soothes body and mind with a synergy of ancient techniques and modern technology. Aestheticians with medical or paramedical training precede every facial with a skin analysis and black-light screening, which can detect skin conditions or milk mustaches. After determining the client's unique skincare needs, an aesthetician cleanses and exfoliates with natural and organic products. Some treatments combat signs of aging with infrared or intense pulsed light, microcurrents, and ultrasound. Aside from facials, the day spa offers massage modalities that range from deep tissue to champissage, an Ayurvedic form of head massage that stimulates the scalp and upper body to increase circulation and the ability to wiggle each ear independently.
Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the services. The warm whirlpool action taking place beneath the cushion of the Hydro-Massage bed relieves stress and muscle tension, leaving bodies as relaxed as a hypnotherapist's pet rock. The infrared heat and nutrient-shrouding steam of the Hydro-Derma Fusion machine sate parched pores and surge skin-collagen production, and fine lines and pigmentation problems flee from the therapeutic light of the Luminous facial, an FDA-approved treatment designed to illuminate skin from within. Tanning beds deliver a sun-kissed pelt, and sun-starved hides jump-start their glow with a spray tan custom-applied by an experienced Norvell airbrush artist or by the friendly nozzles of a Mystic tanning booth. Red-Light Therapy, the newest addition to the Planet Beach family, uses infrared light to deliver therapeutic treatments.
Each of Planet Beach's machines is designed for a specific service, which makes it the ultimate expert and keeps it from developing the ability to cry. A staff of helpful spa assistants are always on hand to answer questions, help first-timers use the machines, and keep things safe and comfortable.
Each of Imagine You New's skincare specialists brings at least 10 years of experience to the spa's treatment tables. Still, they refuse to rely solely on their own experience when crafting custom treatments for new clients. Every facial or waxing service begins with an informal consultation, during which the aestheticians select products designed for the client's individual skin type or condition. Their collection of such products is extensive; professional DermaQuest formulas exfoliate and cleanse pores during facial treatments, OPI polishes add a glossy sheen to nails, and Jane Iredale mineral makeups imbue cheeks with a radiant glow. Imagine You New's free WiFi gives guests the chance to show off their new look on a social-networking site or research why their body makes a mechanical hissing sound when pressed on during a deep-tissue massage.
Marilyn Castorina has made a life out of making people prettier. A stylist with more than 20 years of experience and advanced training from both the International Dermal Institute and PCA Skin, she now welcomes clients to From Head to Toe Salon & Spa, where she renovates looks with services ranging from cuts and colors to facials, waxing, and nail services. She begins each hair appointment with a consultation, working with each client to determine a flattering plan before snipping away split ends or adding splashes of Pravana color. One of Bio Sculpture Gel Nails' educators in the state of Florida, she adds personality to fingertips with the company's no-chip color. She also eases tension by massaging faces, necks, and shoulders during the signature facial, and aims to leave complexions firm and acne-free with skin-specific treatments. As a more intensive anti-aging solution, Marilyn might even recommend a microdermabrasion session or a peel featuring clinical formulas by PCA Skin. They also use the Dermalogica skincare line, which was developed at The International Dermal Institute to eliminate common irritants, such as mineral oil, artificial colors, and kryptonite.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.

Gwynn knew he could perform magic
The Seattle Times
Tony Gwynn: Padre, prodigy ... prophet?
Ex-teammate Tim Flannery recalled the night in Cincinnati when a rain deluge suspended a game with Gwynn set to hit with two runners on and the Reds leading 2-0.
"Because of all the rain delays, it's now about 11:30 at night," Flannery told The San Diego Union-Tribune. "Tony and I are walking back up the tunnel at Riverfront. He said, 'Hey, Flan, I want you to be ready tomorrow, because this guy's gonna throw me a first-pitch slider, I'm gonna hit it into the left-center gap, it's gonna score two and we're gonna be tied.'
"Sure enough, next day, first-pitch-slider, boom, left-center field, both runners score, tie game. Tony looks at me and smiles. I'll guarantee you this: Before he went to bed that night, that lefty didn't know he was gonna throw that. But Tony knew. Amazing. Just an amazing, amazing player."
NBA headlines
• At SportsPickle.com: "Celebrating Spurs fans mob downtown to clean streets, check on well-being of fellow citizens."
• At TheOnion.com: "Report: John Calipari offered Cavaliers $20 million to leave him alone."
Not so fast
The fastest 40-yard dash time ever recorded by an NFL prospect was by:
a) running back Chris Johnson (4.24 seconds), at the 2008 combine
b) defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (0.74), in 2013, in a Chrysler 300
3 strikes, they're out
Saturday's Yankees-A's game in Oakland was delayed when the left-field lights suddenly went out.
Apparently some smart-aleck flushed three clubhouse toilets at the same time.
3 for 3
"If it's any consolation to (co-owner Steve) Coburn," wrote Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, "California Chrome did receive the Triple Crown's coveted perfect-attendance award."
Stat of the Week
According to BaseballReference.com, since 2004 there have been nearly seven times as many home runs hit on 0-2 counts (1,806) as ones hit on 3-0 counts (267).
Sorry I Asked Dept.
"Why not us?" asked LeBron James, of the Heat's improbable title chances trailing 3 games to 1.
Here's your answer, King: Spurs, 104-87.
Soccer talk
• Gary Bachman, via Facebook, after a multimillionaire officiated the U.S.-Ghana World Cup match: "He's the only referee wielding a yellow card, a red card and a platinum American Express card."
• Tom Peterson of McClatchy News Service, via Facebook, on being told he'd get his Father's Day present at his son's soccer game: "So glad it was a goal rather than a card."
• Janice Hough of LeftCoastSportsBabe.com, on the Spurs' roster featuring players from the Virgin Islands, France, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Canada and Australia: "It's like watching the World Cup, without soccer."
• Greg Cote of The Miami Herald, on the one-name Brazilians such as Hulk and Fred: "I wish this became a trend in America, and the Super Bowl was won on a 48-yard pass from Ralph to Aquaman."

Kate Gosselin Defends Reality Shows, Parentingby Free Britney at . Comments
Speaking with CBS' The Talk, Kate Gosselin defended her decisions to expose her children to reality TV and said it's actually helped them more than anything.
Unlike the recent drama between Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus, in which the star's dad blames Hannah Montana for ruining his family, Kate says TLC helped hers.
Despite recent behavioral problems and her hugely infamous divorce from Jon, Kate insists she's proud of her kids and that they love being on Kate Plus 8.
She actually comes across well (at least for her) in the interview ...
Without their show, Kate Gosselin believes, her children would have far fewer life experiences and would not become the well-rounded kids they are today.
It's an interesting argument. She also says she's a very hands-on parent, not a diva, and that 90 percent of the celebrity gossip you read about her is BS.
Finally, she adds that she will never bash Jon Gosselin in public and will continue to fight rumors that paint her in unflattering light for her children's sake.
Also would like to add: You obviously have never watched the gosselin show cause you would have notice that the twin girls are very smart for their age and as far as the rest of the 6 you would also know that they were premature and some kids don't fully develop.
To dessert girl. Are you seriously comparing the duggars to the gosslins? If I had a choice to join a family it will definatley be the gosslins. Why would any kid want to grow up in a family of what 15 20 and never have any one on one time with your parents. These kids will probably grow up with some abnormality and all because there parents wanted more attention on themselves. Very selfish on there behalf.
Can't you all just let her be. Being a mother is a full time job with 1 child let alone 8, we need to all support her. I don't see her abusing them in anyway, so what is the issue. She loves her kids unconditionally and is there every chance she gets. I'm sure she works when Jon has the kids so I she isn't doing anything wrong. Just wanted to let all know that I volenteer at a center for abused children and it hurts be to hear you guys putting down a mother who obviously care unlike the kids I work with. There was one kid who has a mother who was a drug addict and was never home, all she cared about was getting her next fix. That's what you call an unfit and uncaring mother who only thinks about herself. One might say she has an addiction or a disease but in my opinion I would call that selfish and selfabsorbed. For bloggers who have time to write about Kate, Jon or her kids should really see the bigger picture and do something productive with your time.
@Trevor . Anon/jonwhover/Amy
@anon. I doubt you have any kids! And if u ever have any I will really feel sorry for them. You sound really crazy and psychotic, please take that @shrinks advise and see someone a.s.a.p. No judgeing I just want to help, u have taken it too far.
Anon Aka jondolar. For someone who has a family I find it really disturbing that you can find time to comment about people on tv when you should get off your ass and find a job or a 2nd job to provide all you can for your family. It's depressing to hear that your kids don't have many things. Or better yet stop wasting you time going back and forth online with probably a bunch of kids and spend more time with your own. Stop with the judgement already. Your not perfect yourself.
How rounded are kids that are a year behind in school and expelled from their PRE-kindergarten class? How much good did all the trips do for these two? Watch the Duggars and then compare the verbal skills of kids younger than the sextuplets like a Duggar four-year old and you will see that the Gosselin kids are slow. Their mother never interacts with them. They have been brought up by nannies just out of their teen years for weeks at a time.
@Jondolar: Great post and so true! I read a post where a girl said she got a brand new car at the age of 19. All her friends were saying how lucky she was. She said she would have given that car away in a heartbeat to have her dad around. My kids have never had material things but we have always given them love, security, patience and bounderies. We also spent alot of time with our kids and made sure they had their privacy too. They are amazing, well adjusted human beings so I know all about making sacrifices. When kids see their parents make sacrifices they understand what it love means.
I had a family a few doors away growing up, with 13 kids. Only one set of twins. The Father worked and the mother stayed home with the kids. The house was around 1400 sq feet and dad was a blue collar worker. Money doesn't buy love. Most often ...money is a substitute for love and that's why
many children of wealthy and celebrity parents are so screwed up. Kate's the ice queen and unfortunately those kids are not going to get love from her whether she has money or not.
@Amy: Great post! I know a family that have 5 boys and 5 girls with mom and dad and grandma in a 1,000 square ft. home. I grew up with these kids and they are all educated and well adjusted . There is so much love in that family. It CAN be done.

What would you shoot if you were loaned a Hasselblad H4D-40? Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot with one. Having been a medium format film shooter back in college, using this camera seemed almost like I was coming back home. To see just what it could do, I put it to the test in a natural-light studio, against a medium format film camera.
In a relatively short time, Hasselblad H-series cameras have garnered the respect of a growing stable of pro shooters, discriminating photo buffs, well-heeled attorneys and orthodontists alike. Along with the latest in imaging technologies and some of the sharpest, smoothest-operating lenses on the market, the Hasselblad H4D-40 delivers the goods in a package that's relatively light (5.04 lb / 2290 g including lens, prism finder, and battery) feels well balanced in the hand, and is as fluid to use as any 35mm-based DSLR, professional or otherwise.

Met Eireann predicts Bank Holiday sunshine to follow up a blustery week
Anita McSorley Ireland is set to enjoy some sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend after what was a largely blustery and gloomy week.
Anita McSorley Ireland is set to enjoy some sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend after what was a largely blustery and gloomy week.
The recent cool morning temperatures that have us reaching for our jackets are not a sign of the summer's end.
TEMPERATURES will soar into the mid-20s this week as a plume of hot air rises up from the continent – but it won't mean wall-to-wall sunshine.
The sun may be shining in some parts of the country this morning but, in others, people are being warned of heavy rain and spot flooding.
THE outlook is bright for the coming days with Dublin set to bask in sunny and dry weather.
A status yellow weather warning is in place for certain parts of the country as gusts of wind are expected to reach 110km/h.
It's going to be a windy one out there today, especially for people living on the west coast of Ireland.
Days 'only fit for ducks and buckets' were rare for most in Ireland last month, as some parts of the country experienced the driest November in up to nearly 70 years.
A milder morning greeted the nation this morning but it's not time to hang up your scarf and gloves just yet.
Heavy rain across the country is causing traffic chaos for this morning's commuters.
It could be time to grab that extra blanket as temperatures are set to drop as low as freezing in some parts of the country tomorrow night.
BREAK out the Barbie – our Indian summer has been extended.
HUNDREDS of households have been left without after freak storms wreaked havoc in east Galway, south Roscommon and west Offaly overnight.
KEEP your raincoat and umbrella close at hand, as the next few days will be wet with the possibility of some flooding.
HOT, dry summer days and very wet winter months may become commonplace as forecasters map out Ireland's climate for the decades ahead.
IT'S been a blissful Indian summer to top off an almost perfect season – and it's not quite over yet.
TEMPERATURES soared yesterday as mercury levels hit a sweltering 23.2C in Dublin's Phoenix Park, which recorded the highest temperature in the country.
THERE'S been a noticeable chill in the air this week – however it appears mother nature will give fans travelling to Croke Park on Sunday a late blast of summer heat.
Whether you'll be waving the red and green or blue this coming Sunday at Croke Park, fans from both counties should be smiling as the sun is set to make an appearance.
A WEATHER alert for 100kmh gusts of wind is likely to remain in place today as autumn blows in with a vengeance.
Anita McSorley Ireland is set to enjoy some sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend...
WIND and rain is on the cards for this Bank Holiday weekend, but forecasters say it will begin with a period of calm.
Heavy showers will sweep in from the Atlantic across Ireland, and could lead to localised flooding.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Best Practices for Working with Senior Investors Securities examiners deal harshly with RIAs that do not fulfill their fiduciary obligations toward senior investors, as the SEC and state securities regulators view older investors as particularly vulnerable and in need of protection.
- Where Are We Headed? The ultimate compliance goal is to help ensure that everyone associated with an advisory firm acts ethically at all times. Advisors and RIAs should do the right thing, even when regulators are not looking over their shoulders.
The U.S. joined Japan and the European Union on Tuesday in filing a dispute at the World Trade Organization with China over restrictions on the export of rare earths used in everything from aerospace components to bicycle frames.
Reuters reported Tuesday that President Barack Obama announced the action as the U.S. sought WTO intervention on China's restriction of shipments of rare earths. The restriction has caused costs to rise for manufacturers of all sorts of goods, even as China says it must guard against environmental degradation. U.S. manufactures have also alleged that the restrictions provide China with an unfair trade advantage.
China, which has about 33% of the world's resources of rare earths, produces at least 90% of the supply available for manufacturing. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin was cited as saying that China's policy regarding rare earths complies with WTO rules.
He added that allegations that China monopolizes rare earth trade are "groundless," and that for the country to continue to produce 90% of the world's supply of those resources is not sustainable due to environmental damage from mining.
He was quoted saying, "Despite such huge environmental pressure China has been taking measures to maintain rare earth exports. China will continue to supply rare earths to the international market."
Rare earths are more common than gold, but according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the 17 metallic elements are only economical to mine in a very few areas.
A commentary attributed to a writer named Yu Xhixiao appeared via the Xinhua News Agency on Tuesday that said China's "excessive exploitation" in the past of rare earths had led to damage to the environment, so its decision to limit production was reasonable. The commentary also characterized the proposed WTO action as "rash and unfair" and likely to harm trade.
