Guard arrested
A prison guard accused of helping two murderers escape from prison is scheduled to appear in court today. Gene Palmer is charged with delivering tools to David Sweat and Richard Matt, tools they used to break out of the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York almost three weeks ago, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.
California wildfires
Firefighters in drought-stricken California are battling fierce wildfires earlier than usual. The Santa Clarita fire in Southern California has burned 350 acres. CBS News correspondent John Blackstone reports another fire in the northern part of the state tore through more than 500 acres, and that's in addition to fire still burning near Lake Tahoe.
Austin Tice's family speaks out
Some families of American captives are welcoming the shift in U.S. hostage policy. For the first time, government officials will be able to help families negotiate with kidnappers. After President Obama's announcement yesterday, Paula Reid spoke to the parents of Austin Tice, a journalist who disappeared in Syria in 2012.
Campaign swag
With 17 major candidates running for president, some of the campaigns are giving "retail politics" new meaning with online stores. There's more to campaign swag than candidates having their names slapped on products. CBS News correspondent Julianna Goldman reports on the growing ways politicians profit from the sales.
Foreign swag
The selling of swag is a fundamental part of nearly every major political campaign. It helps bring in money, build donor databases, and makes a statement about the candidate. One question some campaigns wrestle with is whether every piece of merchandise sold with their candidates' names needs to be stamped "Made in America." For many, the answer is, in essence, not necessarily.
Big brother?
Anyone who's ever been tagged in a photo on Facebook is familiar with facial recognition technology. That same technology, though, has gone well beyond identifying friends on social media and is now being used to track us as we shop, travel and even go to church.
Stealing from the dead
Database breaches and hacking attacks haven't just affected millions of living Americans. The identities of more than 2 million dead people are stolen each year, potentially creating havoc for their heirs.
