Obituary: Top sire Pioneer of the Nile, the sire of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, has died after he covered a mare today. He died on the way to the veterinarian. I suspect he must have had a heart attack.
The stallion was just 13 years old.

Obituary: Economist Alan B. Krueger, only 58, has died in an apparent suicide.
Mr. Krueger was an assistant secretary of the Treasury from 2009 to 2010, as President Barack Obama’s administration tried to lead the United States out of its worst recession since the Great Depression. Mr. Obama later named him chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, a post he held from 2011 to 2013. He was the Labor Department’s chief economist under President Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1995._____
A labor economist by training, Mr. Krueger was part of a new wave of economists who pushed the field toward a more empirical mind-set, with an emphasis on data rather than theory. He applied that approach broadly: to education, health care, labor markets and terrorism, and even to more lighthearted subjects like the rising price of concert tickets. His latest book, due out in June, is on the economics of the music industry.
