This Morning from CBS News, June 11, 2015
Search converged
Authorities searching for two escaped killers who have been on the loose for the better part of a week converged late last night around a tiny upstate New York town just east of the maximum security prison the two broke out of. A law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News that a female prison employee allegedly was supposed to pick up the two inmates after they escaped, but she didn't show up.
More troops, new strategy
Details of the new White House Iraq strategy are coming into focus. CBS New chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports President Obama authorized the deployment of hundreds of additional troops to help reverse gains by ISIS, but their limited role is under fire.
Hostage whistleblower
Today, Congress hears from Lt. Col. Jason Amerine, who criticized American policy on hostages held overseas. Amerine is being investigated by the Pentagon after giving lawmakers a warning. CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes reports he says the government failed to form a comprehensive plan to recover American hostages, and that cost lives.

Digital interruptions
Mobile technologies are often touted as a way for businesses to soup up their productivity, untethering workers from the confines of the office. But a survey of nearly 2,200 hiring and human resources managers across the U.S. underscores how tech can also interfere with getting things done, exposing workers to a ceaseless barrage of digital interruptions.
Inspiring misinformation
With "Jurassic World" hitting theaters Friday, paleontologists like James Kirkland are girding for the dumb questions they will they get from young dinosaur enthusiasts. Kirkland, who has been involved in the discovery of 20 dinosaurs, including the Utahraptor, admits such Hollywood blockbusters could inspire a whole new generation of fossil lovers. Yet, he frets that this movie - much like its three predecessors - will be filled with so many factual errors as to spread misinformation.
Living paintings
In the words of French artist Edgar Degas, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." Nearly 100 years after Degas' death, Los Angeles artist Alexa Meade is finding new ways to bring that vision to life. Jamie Wax reports on Meade's unconventional methods.
