Paris terrorist attack

Paris police say gunmen attacked the office of a French satirical newspaper today, killing at least 10 people and leaving at least as many more injured. French President Francois Hollande called it a "terrorist attack." The last tweet from the magazine came less than an hour before the reports of the shooting. It was a picture depicting Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, with a message wishing him, "Best wishes." Get the latest at CBSN.

Tail found

Divers and an unmanned underwater vehicle spotted the tail of the missing AirAsia plane in the Java Sea today, the first confirmed sighting of any major wreckage, 11 days after Flight 8501 disappeared with 162 people on board, an Indonesian official said.

Search expanding

One issue that will be getting a lot of attention from the new Congress is border security. CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues reports members won't be happy when they read a report that came out yesterday that raises serious questions about how taxpayer money is being spent on the border.

Downward trend

Not since the recession was in full swing have stocks performed as poorly as they have at the start of this year. This has been a brutal losing streak for equities, but a look at the evidence suggests the selling is far from over.

Stop procrastinating

Full disclosure: This interview was conducted way back in September, and I managed to procrastinate for months before putting the story together. So, this one is just as much for me as it is for you. There are a few predictable reasons so many of us put off tasks we know are important but not particularly enjoyable.
