"Little Mogadishu"
The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis is sometimes called "Little Mogadishu." It's the center of the nation's largest concentration of Somalis, and fertile ground for Islamic terrorist groups recruiting fighters. Douglas McAuthur McCain, who died in Syria fighting for ISIS, grew up just 15-minutes away.
Little shooters

Candid camera
There have been growing calls for officers to wear cameras in the wake of the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Places like Laurel, Maryland have already equipped their officers with the devices.
Target: Koch brothers
This year, as Democrats put forward a midterm campaign pitch focused on pocketbook issues, they don't have a single figure like Romney to hold up as a symbol of the GOP's supposed shortcomings. Instead, they've zeroed in on a pair of rich conservatives: the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

New York City chef Bill Telepan is known for his chic and inventive Nouveau American cuisine -- but he's also the executive chef of Wellness in the Schools, a non-profit organization that educates children about healthy food and lifestyle choices. He's also a pro at putting together the kind of healthy lunch kids love to take to school.
Forever CDs
The Library of Congress is in a race against time. CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod reports the library's half-million CD collection is deteriorating at unpredictable rates, and officials have set up a lab to learn how to preserve them.
Ivy sheep?
The students who attend Ivy League schools are really more like smart sheep. That's according to William Deresiewicz, who spent nearly a quarter-century at Ivy League schools.
Wooden Colossus
Roller coaster fans across the country let out a collective scream when Six flags announced it would shut down its most famous wooden coaster, the Colossus, in California. The track is almost a mile long, has eleven big drops and a bone-shaking ride that lasts almost four minutes.
Radical waves
The waves here reached as high as two-story buildings yesterday. It's a surfer's delight - but the swells also killed at least one person and required the rescue of dozens of people along the Southern California's coast.
