by the time we head toward the evening and the heavier snow winds down. 6 to 12 inches for a lot of fol folks, a lot of school delays and a lot of cancellations on the flight boards and then we have our eye on the next storm. we've got another piece of energy heading up the coast. the track is still uncertain with this one. has a the potential to bring more snow, particularly in the northeast. we'll get a clear picture of that. i suppose the bottom line here is today, you've got a snow day, enjoy it, cleanup quick, because pretty soon we'll have to get ready for the next one. back to you. >> thanks for the good news. so far this morning 2,000 flights are canceled. it's the third day weather is paralyzing air travel. workers have to decide minute by minute which flights stay on the ground. that story is ahead. >> now to a big announcement this morning from one of america's largest drugstore

subsidies are going to give americans less incentive to work while democrats argue their gop colleagues are misinterpreting the findings. >> very, very distressing. >> republicans jumped on the new ceo report which e estimates because of the affordable health care act, an estimated 2 million will leave their jobs by 2017. the number rises to 2.5 million by 2024. >> honestly, it's not a surprising report. all the anecdotes you hear across the country are premiums are going up and jobs are being lost. >> democrats noticed according to the report the job reductions will not come from employer slashing positions but almost entirely because workers will choose to supply less labor, retire early once they no longer have to rely on their job for

have accessed more than 1 million accounts. the company didn't realize the attack until january and it was finally able to stop it eight days later. >> these recent cyber attacks are very, very sophisticated. >> the hearing may clear a stark reality. nearly half of the world's credit card fraud happens in the united states in part because u.s. retailers and credit id cart companies don't use the most advanced technology that's been in place for at least a decade in europe. >> i want to say we left the door unlocked in the retail industry but certainly the locks are a lot less sophisticated than the technology available would provide. >> that technology is called chip and p.i.n. inside credit cards is a computer chip that stores your personal informion. when you use the card, you have to enter a private p.i.n. number.

credit card companies are requiring all retailers to accept these cards by 2015 or be responsible for any fraud. >> chip and p.i.n. is one small piece to an overall security privacy puzzle. >> she's author of the new book "privacy in the age of big data." she said chip and p.i.n. will reduce fraud but warrants it is not a silver bullet. >> the cyber criminals are always changing their tactics to go where the action is at. this will be where it's at in 2015. my prediction, you'll see more attacks against this type of technology. >> target is in the process of rolling out some of its new technology and neiman marcus says it's going to open anything. they said it's not so simple to change credit cards across the board, but that's the future. europe was hit first by credit card fraud and that's why companies there, charlie and norah, starting using this advance technology. so now that these cyber

criminals have come here, everybody agrees that the u.s. is going to have to make those same kind of changes. charlie and norah? >> thanks, jan. it says the u.s. is sharply cutting back on drone attacks in pakistan. the reduction comes at the request of pakistan's government. major garrett is talking to sources at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. there are two parts to this story. one is the united states has dramatically curtailed drone attacks in pakistan. they're deeply unpopular in pakistan and rue toonly insight street protests. the obama administration has not launched a drone attack inside pakistan since december. the last strike occurred in december and that one killed top taliban commander. now, the second part of this story is pakistan's efforts to negotiate a peace deal with taliban fighters occupying the most remote areas of the
