...Pfizer (PFE) deal to buy Wyeth (WYE) for $68 billion looks like a single M&A deal which will break the drought in investment banking activity, but only...
...fourth quarter earnings which are coming out now and the forecasts for next year are as useless as a boat in a drought. Google (GOOG) has a quarter which was better than expected. Because it is in a fast-growing segment of the internet, it would be reasonable to assume that its trajectory would continue up.

...Still, Harvard found itself up 49-45 with four and a half minutes to play. Saints’ captain Heather Stec, who finished with a game-high 17 points, made back-to-back baskets to knot the score at 49 with 2:42 remaining. In the drought, Siena was able to hit five free throws, capitalizing on four missed thee-pointers by the Crimson, to take the win.

Barnett co-authored a study estimating a 50% chance that a combination of climate change and increased demand could render Mead effectively dry by 2021. Mulroy doubts...
...Australia, the wake-up call can no longer be ignored. Since 2002, the world's dryest inhabited continent has been in the grip of the worst drought in its recorded history. In Melbourne, you're no longer allowed to fill your swimming pool, and in bone-dry Brisbane, residents aren't allowed any external water use without a permit. But the real pain has been borne in the Murray-Darling River Basin in southern Australia, the heart of the country's $30 billion agricultural economy. Even in good times, Murray-Darling receives as little as 10 in. of rain...
