our technology expert katie linendoll is here with more. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is this all about? >> i know. and i feel like we were just here talking about facebook and privacy three months ago and six months ago and a year ago. >> yeah. >> constantly facebook is synonymous with the word privacy. so what is going on now? okay, here's the deal. if you are on facebook or one of your friends, you're probably accessing an application like farmville. these are third-party applications. mafia wars poker. >> all those on that same page. they all come off of there. >> those are all third party apps. when you agree to the terms and conditions of the third party applications you're saying okay, i agree to the terms, you can access the data that i've made public in my profile. >> wow. >> however these third party applications, farmville for example, can access that data. they can now sell it to a fourth party advertiser. now "the wall street journal" reports that they are selling this information to fourth party advertisers. >> right. >> in the top ten most powerful apps, the most popular apps are actually guilty of giving the users unique i.d.'s information
7:36 am
to the fourth party. why is this a big deal? this is a big deal because it's a breach of facebook's privacy policy. it's like every time they clear their name with the privacy issues, something else pops up. >> surely surely surely though, facebook had to be aware of that. they're sitting there fully aware of they're looking at the agreement that you punch when you say, yes, i want to play this, do basically gives your information away. >> right. and in light of the situation, i do want to get this right, they said that they will dramatically limit how much information third parties can access. >> right. >> but you can't tell me that again, to your point, they had no idea this was going on. and we just talked about the ten most popular platforms. >> right. >> i want you to understand there are 550,000 applications on the facebook platform. how long did they know about this? >> right. >> and do they have control of their platform? that's the question. >> okay. so, facebook says we're going to compensate for that. we're not going to compensate people who have been victimized
7:37 am
by it but they're going to make sure that this won't happen to the future. >> that's the plan. so, what i think is smart with facebook is they're always running. there is no government law caught up to this digital privacy issue. and until that happens they can keep running this edge and keep apologizing. they keep comeing out with privacy problems, sorry about that. my bad. it keeps happening. >> if you're going to be smarter than the stuff you're using how do you protect yourself in the future from -- i just want to play farmville? >> i just want to water my crops. that's all i want to do. >> that's all i wanted to do. i needed to harvest. they're going to rot in the field. >> right. if you're freaked out about this right now, oh, my gosh, i don't want my privacy, you know being jeopardized, if you don't want to get played don't play. that's the bottom line. but there's also something you can do and this circles back to the whole idea of listen go back into your privacy setting, take two minutes out of your day, you're spending hours on facebook and update those privacy settings. make sure they are set to the
7:38 am
strictest application. in the bottom left we're showing you the applications and websites. make sure that no third party applications can access your data. that's a key here. i want to make this clear. you may have tuned out on this conversation and said i'm not playing mafia wars i'm not playing farmville. friends that are on these applications, they can access your data even if you're n playing, your friends are, they can tap in. >> of course you are. every time it says i agree you're agreeing to something you probably don't want to agree to. >> yes. >> katie, thank you very much. up next, is happy hour coming to starbucks? we'll explain why you could get a lagger with your latte when we come back.

in this morning's "moneywatch," think about this negotiating a higher starting salary. a lot of people consider themselves lucky just to have a job in these tough economic times. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get a raise. here with some advice on dos and don'ts is cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis. good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> so there's this study out and this says it's all about negotiations, right? >> it's all about the negotiations. of course, you have to negotiate in order to get that increase in salary. but something for people to consider when they take a step back, you see unemployment 9.6%. you see wage freezes, even in some cases wages coming down. >> right. >> but what's also important to consider, if you're thinking about negotiating for a raise, is that it costs companies money to hire new employees, and to train new employees. >> right. >> so if it's a matter of keeping you, and you're one of the most respected, valuable
8:20 am
employees, they may find some room there to negotiate. >> all right. let's talk about some of the dos and don'ts. first the dos of negotiations. >> first off, there's two strategies that this study, which is out of george mason and temple university found. they found that collaborating as well as competing were two strategies that worked best for the people in their study. so collaborating would be laying out a win-win scenario. >> what's good for me, what's good for you. >> exactly. competing. actually worked when people were persuasive, they asserted and they even, in some cases threatened. threatening to leave for example 378 >> wow. >> you also outside of this study, you also it's natural when you negotiate to want to arm yourself with information. know what other people in our position are making. salary.com is a great resource. >> don't go into combat without the information. >> right. >> what of the serious don'ts? >> so this is actually where i think the most interesting results of this study come out. things that we would normally think are the best things to do in negotiations happen to be the worst things for people in this
8:21 am
study. >> okay. >> so for example, being too accommodating. actually lost people money. compromising actually meant that people didn't get money. and of course avoiding the conversation altogether. clearly, especially in this day and age, if you're not negotiating, you're not getting paid more. >> is there a best time to ask for a raise? >> analysts and experts say the best time to do it is first off at your review. but most importantly, to also consider it after a major accomplishment. if you're the talk of the office and everyone's high fiving you and everyone's saying you did this, you did that, you got your numbers up you beat everyone else, that is the time to go to your boss and say listen i am head and shoulders above, let's think about how to compensate me for it. >> so you're going to have this meeting with your boss. what are some of the other things we need to keep in mind including body language? >> body language is important. having good posture, conveying a sense of confidence. keeping good eye contact. also experts say to keep your hands above the table, and of course, if you're doing that, keep those nails short and clean.
8:22 am
>> clean hands. >> believe it or not, i mean these things they seem simple but they really can make a big difference. >> thank you are there body language deal breakers? >> you know well of course not having good eye contact is one of the big things. also having posture that doesn't indicate that you feel you know, that you're confident in yourself. things of that nature. and also we'll often hear about mirroring. it's a good thing. you and i are sitting here we're sort of mirroring each other. >> right, right. >> it's a good thing when you're trying to negotiate or have a confident sign. >> and how do you not sit? what's the worst sitting mistake? you can make? >> don't do this. it will not get you any money. >> all right. i'll take that advice rebecca. thank you so much. for more on how to negotiate a better salary all you have to do is go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. erica? >> harry, you may have heard my friend over here this is louis. sweet little face little too much going on in the girth area.

[ male announcer ] how can you retire at age 55? just ask jerry brown. he gave california state employees collective bargaining powers. since then the unions have grown stronger and stronger. now state employees can retire at 55 with much of their salary for life. and taxpayers are on the hook for one hundred billion dollars in unfunded pension liabilities. no wonder those unions are 100% behind jerry brown. he'll just spend and spend, and spend. good morning. one of our slowest commutes now is through marin southbound 101 jammed from novato into san rafael. it was a stalled big rig that was partially blocking the right lane for a couple of hours. it took a long time to clear this one and that's what's causing all this slow traffic. in fact your drive times still steady around 23 minutes in the

how beautiful is central park? >> those leaves are starting to change. i love when you see those overhead shots of central park as you watch the seasons go through. it's beautiful. the tapestry and then the leaves go away and then in the spring the buds. >> wow. >> that was -- >> maybe i do do a little writing. maybe a dabble. >> you ought to publish your journals. >> if only there was something interesting in them. unfortunately there's not. but there's a lot of interesting stuff coming up in this half hour. just ahead, for a lot of teenage girls, the thought of going to school, not wearing makeup is -- you can't even describe it it's so bad. >> right. >> but there are actually a group of girls in texas who said you know what? enough already.
8:31 am
we're going to walk around at least once a week we're not going to wear makeup and there's so much more to this campaign about redefining beauty. they are all about taking it back. taking back what is beautiful about a young woman. >> way to go. >> it's found on the inside. they're a really inspiring group of ladies so we're going to meet them just ahead. >> also he was one of the most popular players ever to step on a baseball diamond. i was lucky enough in my lifetime to have the opportunity to meet and interview mickey mantle. would have been 79 years old this week. the mick. lots of books have been written about him but there's a brand-new one that is out and it has got some information you have never heard before. and we're going to talk to the author in just a moment or two. >> tortured history there. >> also we talk about america's obesity epidemic. but it's not just people. it can also be pets. and so this morning dr. debbye turner bell is going to introduce us to -- >> wow. >> my goodness. >> you know what that cat's name is? >> horse. >> no. that is priss chunk. >> all right.
8:32 am
>> so she's a sweet cat. >> i didn't name her. i'm just telling you. >> making fun of this cat. >> not true. >> i had a fat cat growing up. >> this is all for a good cause. we're going to try to get them some help and your pets as well. >> it's an intervention for your pets this morning. >> for the chunk. >> a lot of people think they're cute, the bigger they are. but in reality, these are living beings and you want to make sure they're well taken care of. >> it could be a health problem. >> absolutely. you guys get prepared for that. in the meantime i've got some company here. >> go ahead. >> we'll take a couple of minutes. in the meantime where are our friends? come on up here for a sec. where are you from sir? >> from melbourne, australia. >> you watch our show every morning? >> yes. >> and your grand children are
8:33 am
8:34 am
>> that's a look at your weather. real quick hello to vibe theater. all sorts of great arts programs for teenage girls in new york city. thanks for what you do. we appreciate it. thanks for coming by today. erica, we'll send it back inside to you. >> dave, thanks. we want to check in with a group of texas students who are really hoping to redefine beauty. they are bravely walking the halls of their high school without makeup. and if you know or have ever been a teenage girl you know how difficult that can be. but it's all part of their effort to promote self-service and female empowerment. the campaign's founders are joining us exclusively this morning from colleyville heritage high school. samantha gabes, lauren gilby, laura kelly, emily gates, nina smith and caroline tessler. great to have you and a number of your friends with us this
8:35 am
morning. samantha, i want to start with you. tell me where did this idea for redefining beautiful come from? >> well the idea for redefining beautiful really came from inspiration from the win scythe operation beautiful where they really stress girls have self-confidence and feel beautiful and have other women encourage other women to feel beautiful. and we wanted to do something like that at our school and makeup is just one way for us to make girls feel like they are beautiful, and to shake that image that everyone sees and know that you, yourself, are really beautiful. >> so nina one of the ways that you are shaking that is by, on tuesdays, you don't wear makeup. how difficult was that to get going? >> the first time it was just a few of us girls, and it was probably about the size of the girls here that were just -- we came to school the first time with no makeup people asked us what are you doing? you know that's so weird to see you without makeup on. and just as it's been going and progressing and growing bigger, it's not even that big of a deal
8:36 am
anymore. i just really think about just waking up in the morning knowing you don't have to put makeup on is just really nice. >> it's fantastic. we see close-ups of you. you all are gorgeous and you have this beautiful skin and there's no reason to cover it up. but it is so hard at that age, because nina how old were you when you first started wearing makeup? >> probably seventh grade. so 13. >> this starts out in seventh grade. it's hard enough to be a teenager, it's hard enough to be in middle school and there is so much more that's thrown at you these days. laura, i know one of the concerns, too, was not just you know feeling better on a daily basis but there's such an onslaught of media that you all are faced with nowadays. facebook is a perfect example. people are always looking at pictures of you. why did you want to tackle social networking, laura? what's important there? >> the fact that there is so much pressure from the media, and from you know, facebook and everyone is just trying to impress everyone else. everyone wants to look their best. but we want girls to feel
8:37 am
confident in whatever setting they're in. wherever they may go. however big they may get in life to know that they're beautiful just the way they are and they shouldn't have to change themselves as they grow up to know that they are beautiful. >> this is hard for a lot of adults to even fathom doing. on any day of the week let alone doing it once a week. emily, you've spread this now throughout your school to some other schools, as well. what are adults saying to you though? are they looking to become a part of this redefining beautiful campaign you've launched? >> yeah. we have a lot 6 of adults contacting us saying oh, i've been really encouraged to start this at my work. we've had like even like older college students contact us and saying, we want to start this here. and just really encouraging to have like older women telling us, y'all are such an inspiration to us. and just really encouraging to hear that. >> so you started this with your t-shirts you're wearing now that says one girl at a time. lauren, what kind of an impact though, has this had on you personally?
8:38 am
>> it's been a real, big impact. one of the big things i like is the different people i've been able to meet through this. my high school is really big, and being able to see different girls with this purple shirt on every tuesday, you meet new girls this week and it's great to have a connection with other people. >> and caroline what kind of message do you think this sends to some of the guys at your school? >> well what's shocking for me is that we've had a lot of support from a lot of our guy friends at the school and it's great because it helps us know that they don't, you know you always see the girl with the perfect makeup and hair and all that stuff with the perfect guy who's just absolutely adorable. but it's nice to know that the guys around here are saying, when we don't wear makeup that you still look just at great. you're still as wonderful a person as you were with the pakup on.
8:39 am
it's really nice to get the smoert from the guys because it was just an added bonus to what we were trying to prove. and it just it's great. we thank them a lot. >> it is an inspiring campaign. it's a wonderful campaign. and kudos to all of you for being -- for being so brave and for inspiring so many of us to carry that torch around the country. ladies, thank you. >> thank you. >> harry? all right, erica, thanks. she wrote the definitive biography of sandy koufax and now jane leavy is taking a swing at another baseball icon. her new book "the last boy," which is getting rave reviews, mickey mantle and the end of america's childhood is filled with surprising new material about the yankee legend. including stories of his physical and emotional troubles. and jane leavy is with us live in the studio this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> how many books do we think have been written about mickey mantle over the years? >> give or take a thousand. >> dozen and dozens if not hundreds and hundreds. why did you think it was time to
8:40 am
write yet another book? >> well, 15 years after his death, and one can look from the vantage point of history, and before all of contemporaries die. >> right right. >> and look back and say okay why does this guy still hold such a place in the american imagination? why is it that people who weren't alive when he played are still paying thousands of dollars for his signature? >> sure. >> and he basically, he embodied a kind of post-war american optimism muscles which were honest muscles. no steroids. you know were sort of a natural resource. >> right. >> and that coast-to-coast smile. >> yeah. >> you know this is a time we could do anything fix anything hit anything. >> right. >> from both sides of the plate. >> if you were mickey mantle, for sure. in terms of this book there is an important revelation there that i'm not sure many people have any awareness of whatsoever. the fact that his wife told you that he was abused.
8:41 am
>> yes. she had disclosed it in passing in a family memoir. and what she said was that she was not sure whether she should have mentioned it but because it gave her the first time of feeling that she really understood her husband. >> right. >> she thought it was important to disclose. and i went back and talked to her about it and he had been abused by his half older sister. and he was mortified. one of the things about mickey that everybody knew is that he hated being laughed at. and she said that the half older sister and her teenage friends would fondle him and then laugh and laugh. well, i started to talk to other friends, and other women with whom he had long-term relationships, and he had disclosed bits and pieces of the story to lots of people. he had been abused also by neighborhood boys. he told one friend that's how he learned to run so fast. because if he could sense trouble coming he took off. >> wow. >> he told his companions of the last ten years about a relationship with a high school
8:42 am
teacher. that's the only way i got through high school. >> wow. that is -- those are some big, big headlines. you look at this guy and this guy was never -- he was perpetually in search of a good time. and he put that in all capital letters, and sort of every way conceivable. is that part of the explanation for that? >> yeah, harry, it is. after i heard these stories, i went to talk to experts about childhood sexual abuse. and what was astonishing, marilyn felt she undetood her husband, i felt i understood my subject. there's a constellation of behaviors that they see over and over in survivors of childhood sexual abuse. alcoholism and drug abuse. >> right. >> promiscuity. self-loathing. shame. inability to get close to others. and people who lead actually kind of double-split lives. and mickey mantle fits those to a "t." >> that is so interesting. you have this sweater. tell me what -- give us the story behind this sweater.
8:43 am
>> well in 1983 i was a reporter at "the washington post." and i went to interview my hero. >> right. >> and it's different to interview your hero as opposed to somebody else's. and i was nervous. and i walked up and waited for him, waited for him. he was late. he was hung over. >> right. >> when he finally shows up he says, hi i'm mick. and i said hi i'm nervous. and he said why, did you think he was going to pull on your -- and i will spare everybody the anatomical part? and my childhood ended in a moment. >> wow. >> and so two hours later, on a golf course, he was a completely different person. he was wearing my sweater, as a matter of fact right there. and he saw that i was cold and i was shivering. and he was able to step out of his mixedness, as i like to put it, and see me for what and who i was and what i needed. he was a man of great emotional i.q. a term we didn't use back then. >> sure sure. and there you have the sweater.
8:44 am
and having that sweater around all those years probably you know, would come back and say, i've got to figure out why this guy was so important to me. and as a result jane thanks very much for sheaing your story. >> thanks so much harry. >> really appreciate it. now here's erica. >> harry, thanks. it is a sad fact but man's best friend is getting heavier. in fact it's estimated between 45 and 60% of pet dogs in this country are overweight. and those numbers are climbing. dr. debbye turner bell tells us about one family who knows that all too well. >> come on! >> reporter: for the past eight years, cue joe and annie have become true members of the dobson family. they receive plenty of love and attention. and unfortunately, too much food. >> this is what we were feeding them. about a full scoop. which i believe this is about 3, 3 1/2 cups of food. which is way too much.
8:45 am
the first puppy, getting her vegetables because i knew that was healthy. but they are fed extra treats that they probably don't need. we had what's done in the backyard, we had some of the workers giving them like big macs and fries. >> reporter: to make matters worse -- >> we don't exercise them. running around. they're too fat to do that. so i said okay we can put them on a diet. >> reporter: these dogs like 90 million other pets across the country, are part of a growing obesity trend. donna reached out to an expert to help her dogs lose weight. >> when we came over we noticed the dogs were overweight and so we immediately put a plan into place to cut back on food cut back on treats, and get more exercise. >> now, i'm starting to give them more exercise than i ever gave them before. i'm making them follow the course. >> reporter: after just a few weeks these dogs are in significantly better shape. annie is running around again,
8:46 am
and kuja has lost ten pounds. >> i like feeting her healthy stuff. even when she's in heaven i want her to be healthy. >> and dr. debbye turner bell is here with some more tips for us this morning. >> good morning. >> you said it's really 45% to 50%. not just dogs all pets. >> all pets. when i start talking about this when i first came out of veterinary school 20 years ago, it was 20% to 45%. and in that amount of time it's gone up from 45 to 60. and it depends on whose study you believe. it could be even higher than that. in humans the number of american human beings that are overweight or obese is 68%. andpy submit in many cases, wherever you see an overweight pet, very often -- >> you have an overweight parent. >> overweight owners. because the pet does what you do. and we give them the food. >> and they adapt to your lifestyle. >> of course. >> obviously we know that. what are some of the health issues that a dog like louis,
8:47 am
health issues that they face? >> incidentally louis is an english bulldog and they are prone to obesity. he's a barrel on sticks. this might look cute but it's dangerous. this kind of obesity can cause or worsen diabetes heart disease, liver -- excuse me kidney disease as well as joint disease, arthritis, hip dysplasia. and also an animal that is severely overweight the weight can reduce their life span by 50%. >> wow. >> that's how serious this is. >> so it's so important for a pet like this to really lose the weight for the health and the longevity. >> and also for a lot of people, if you do have a pet like this you may not think they're as overweight as they can because you can't always tell by looking. >> i cannot tell you how many times i have seen a pet and i say to the owner, he eats a little too much. what, what? my pet is overweight? you can tell by looking at their silhouette. let's start with the dog. we have a graphic of a dog.
8:48 am
this is what the body shape of a dog should look like. from the side behind the rib cage, the stomach should tuck up. if you look over the top they should have an hourglass figure. not just marilyn monroe. of course you see here with louis, he's just you know he's straight, back and forth, up and down, the barrel on sticks. with a kitty cat, let me show you what the body of a kitty cat should look like. if you look at them it should be flat from the side tucked up just a little bit, and from the top, it should be straight. you shouldn't see this big barrel. but we brought a big kitty. prince chunk who is appropriately named. i want to make sure everybody can see you really well. this is prince chunk who weighs 17 pounds. >> wow. >> way too big for a cat. the average weight for a kitty should be 7 to 10 pounds. he's 17 pounds. but vince has done a good job because he started off at 23 pounds. >> and that's a pretty significant reduction. as you said to me one pound on a cat like this could be say
8:49 am
20%. >> that's right. let's say you have a 15-pound cat that needs to lose five pounds. that's a third of their body weight. for a 210 pound person that means losing 70 pounds. which then brings me to how do you get them to lose weight. >> and why you have to be so dedicated. the first step is obviously the food and not overfeeding them. >> that's exactly right. portion control is very very important. for animals like these that are really obese you want to put them on a diet specially formulated for losing weight. because it's higher in fiber, and it has been nutritionally formulated to give them the nutrition nutritional needs that they need to help them drop the weight. >> they also need exercise as we know. how much exercise every day? >> for animals that are this big you cannot take them out and take them on a 30-minute run. start five or ten minutes hoping to work up to 20 or 30 minutes a day. with a cat, get them toys and balls. >> get them jumping around? >> and help them play. that's how you get a cat to exercise. with the dog, if you can't -- >> the world's greatest invention invention. i use this all the time, because
8:50 am
if you can't throw like me, you can throw the pet his ball and you don't have to pick it up either. >> exactly. and if you have mobility problems and you can't run or walk you can use this to throw to the dog, so the dog gets the exercise he needs even if you have some restrictions. >> do everything for them that we need to do for ourselves. >> exactly. >> debbye thanks. for more on managing your pet's weight logon to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. and we will be right back with more. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

southbound 880 closed at whipple due to an injury crash. this is a line of traffic past 238. coming out of the south bay a lot of congestion on northbound 280 pretty much jammed from 680 all the way out towards foothill expressway. half hour is your drive time towards cupertino. looking good across the golden gate bridge but traffic is still pretty heavy from novato all the way down into san rafael. it looks like the slowest stretch is just past 580 due to an earlier stalled big rig that took a couple hours to clear. that's your traffic. here's lawrence. one last check of your forecast. >> okay. it's still foggy outside around the bay area but that fog is going to mix out but thick in spots, not here. a look from mount vaca is looking good. nice clear skies at this hour but out toward the coastline inside the bay you still have dense fog. it is going to break up, lots of sunshine expected by the afternoon, sunny skies tomorrow after some patchy fog again. by thursday though a cold front dives in towards the bay area bringing in a slight chance of showers into the evening. partly cloudy on friday.
