Economist Jonathan Gruber warns a potential cost “tsunami” is coming for employer-sponsored insurance. As new, expensive gene therapies are developed for more common diseases, he says the cost could overwhelm the insurance system. cbsn.ws/3MBwMbW

on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.

Never apologize for treating your dog like a baby. In a world that forces you to be tough, having a creature that lets you be soft, nurturing, and vulnerable is a blessing. You are lucky if one loves you, you are luckier still if you love each other.
