the study out of princeton university shows that people's emotional well being increases along with their income up to about $75,000. researchers also found that while earnings substantially more than 75,000 can create a sense of achievement, it does not necessarily equate to day- to-day happiness. >>> the fbi said today it is looking into what happened in four cities including one in central california. the incidents that set off their investigation. >>> plus. >> reporter: we want to send this message to them that we are not interested in their law. >>> what this pastor plans to do on september 11th and why they say it may put soldiers in danger. >>> and what a teacher is doing that is making a big difference. >>> and we're getting answers about how the closures would impact students. >>> we went on a rescue at sea. the reason, practice makes perfect. >> they are real risks and we take them very seriously. >>> critical votes on big issues delayed. >> i can hardly believe it. >> tonight at 6:00. >>> the white house announced today that president obama will mark the anniversary of septembe
