This Morning from CBS News, Nov. 18, 2014
FBI warning
The FBI has issued an intelligence bulletin to state and local partners urging them to be aware of the potential for violent protests after the Ferguson, Missouri grand jury issues its decision on whether or not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. A law enforcement official told CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr, the bulletin, which went out last Friday, is not based on intelligence or specific threats, but rather on "observed criminal and violent activity" in the weeks after Brown's death.
Keystone help?
Mary Landrieu, the last Democrat standing in Louisiana's congressional delegation, has made the approval of the Keystone pipeline a key part of her bid for a fourth term in the Senate. While the pipeline wouldn't run through Louisiana, it stands as a powerful symbol of voters' priorities in the increasingly-red state. Advancing the Keystone pipeline would give one more victory to the oil and gas industry, which is a significant part of Louisiana's economy.
New accusations
Bill Cosby faces growing rape allegations, as another woman claims the comedian drugged and attacked her twice when she was a teen. CBS News Correspondent Don Dahler reports on how Cosby's lawyer is now also backtracking.
ALS research
The viral ALS ice bucket challenge brought in $115 million to fight Lou Gehrig's disease. Now, researchers are spending that money in a race to find treatments and a cure. CBS News Correspondent Michelle Miller got a first look at one of those research grants in action and shows how it's impacting one family.
Lower cholesterol
For decades, doctors have known that patients with lower cholesterol do better than patients with high cholesterol following a heart attack. What hasn't been known is whether using drugs to achieve specific levels of cholesterol made a difference. CBS News Chief Medical Correspondent Jon LaPook reports, new research changes that.
Winter viruses
As temperatures continue their Arctic plunge across the country, millions of people dread what always seems to come with a harsh winter: the flu and common colds. While adding an extra sweater or wrapping your neck with that scarf will certainly make you feel more comfortable in frigid temperatures, wintry weather itself won't make you sick. It's actually the time you spend in the great indoors that raises your risk.
Quake forecasting?
Predicting earthquakes and tsunamis has long been seen as a fool's errand, which makes preparing for the next "big one" in quake-prone places like California, Japan and Indonesia particularly difficult. Now, an international team has identified a geological phenomenon known as slow slip events, and they think studying these could improve long-range forecasting of certain earthquakes and, crucially, how big they might be.
Tree for Till
The Capitol building sits on a 59-acre park that includes hundreds of trees. Elaine Quijano reports, the newest, a sycamore , was planted just today, in memory ofEmmett Till, a black teenager whose murder, nearly 60 years ago, helped spark the civil rights movement.
Zep reunion?
Led Zeppelin is riding a new wave of popularity, decades after being one of the most influential bands on the planet. But his legendary group has no plans to get back on the road for a reunion tour. CBS News Correspondent Anthony Mason speaks to the group's creator, Jimmy Page.
