...Diageo to justify selling its Dublin operations. If Guinness were an acquisition target, "you would never get the price to compensate for that," says Graeme Eadie, an Edinburgh-based beverage analyst at Deutsche Bank. And even if it no longer builds houses, Guinness is still known as a generous employer, providing complete health care for families of staff, and even paying for them to pursue university degrees. The Storehouse, Guinness's hugely popular visitor center, draws legions of tourists, and the company contributes to the local economy by providing office facilities in a spare building for start-up businesses...

...connection between drought and wildfires is strong, says Thomas Swetnam, head of the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. And the most dangerous fires, he says, occur when droughts follow years that are unusually wet. That's because generous rains encourage trees, shrubs and grasses to grow, providing the fuel that stokes forest fires. This pattern of wet preceding dry, Swetnam thinks, helped feed the intense blazes that raged through the Southwest shortly after 1850, taking out huge stands of conifers. So, if a new El Nino materializes later this year, as some experts expect...
