flying in to pick up survivors after a cargo ship sinks off the coast of wales. we will show you that dramatic rescue early this monday morning, november 28, 2011. captioning funded by cbs and good monday morning to you. i'm erica hill. >> and i'm jeff glor. chris wragge is off this morning. how was your holiday? >> really nice. how was yours? >> little man turned 2. >> happy birthday to jack. >> thank you very much. and big monday morning here. we begin this morning with the case of that second college coach accused of child sexual abuse. bernie fine, an assistant basketball coach at syracuse, for 35 years, was fired on sunday after new evidence was made public. as susan mcginnis reports, the evidence actually comes from his wife and it is on tape. >> hi, bobby.

how are you? >> reporter: in an explosive phone conversation secretly recorded in 2002 by alleged pedophile victim bobby davis, lori fine recounts a shocking conversation with her husband, syracuse assistant basketball coach bernie fine, about his sexual appetite. >> you know what, go to a place where there's gay boys, find yourself a gay boy, you know, get your rocks off, and have it be over with. >> bobby davis went on to ask lori fine if she remembered the abuse he had suffered at the hands of her husband. >> it's about the [ bleep ]. i know that. so you're -- i'm telling you for your own good you're better off staying away from him. >> reporter: in a newly released phone call, she does not appear to deny the allegations but does not admit to being an eyewitness. syracuse fired fine sunday, saying his employment has been terminated effective immediately.

in another development, a third alleged victim, 23-year-old zach tomaselli, told syracuse police fine molested him at a pittsburgh hotel. >> he put his hand down my shorts and began to fondle me. >> tomaselli's father denies his son's allegations. >> we will let this thing play out. >> reporter: syracuse coach jim boeheim backed away from earlier comments downplaying allegations. on sunday, boeheim said on facebook, i deeply regret any statements i made that might have been insensitive to victims of abuse. susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. to the latest now on occupy wall street. actually, occupy los angeles, where many protesters ignored the city's order to evacuate at midnight. >> it take a few hours, but police confronted the protesters making at least four arrests. and bill whitaker is on the scene. the lapd had set a deadline for just after midnight for

closing down the occupy l.a. encampment around l.a. city hall. but the time came and went with no action. then a standoff ensued between protesters and police, facing each other in the streets here around city hall. now all morning, the police made abundantly clear that they intended to have these streets cleared by the time rush hour came around. when a few hundred protesters refused to budge, the lapd did act. they called this an unlawful assembly, first giving them a 10-minute warning, then a 2-minute warning, and then at 5:00 pacific time, the lapd moved in and in very precise and dramatic fashion about, 200 police in a long blue line walked slowly across the street, walking the protesters back off the streets, out of the intersection, and back up onto the sidewalk. now with the protesters back up

on the grounds of city hall, the police made clear that they had no intention of arresting anyone in the encampment today. but leaving it wide open that they could follow through with their plans to close down the encampment in the near future. bill whitaker, cbs news, los angeles. shopping was not always peaceful. over the black friday weekend. >> no, it wasn't. but the numbers were -- >> but it was successful despite the sluggish economy. americans did open their wallets and purses on black friday and broke sales records. >> the average shopper spent nearly $400 over the weekend, up $33 over last year. correspondent michelle miller takes a look this morning at those surprisingly good numbers. >> reporter: it was a black friday like no other. as retailers open their doors to the biggest shopping weekend of the year earlier than ever. >> retailers that opened early

actually saw a 24% increase in that thursday-friday business. >> reporter: a record 226 million shoppers hit the stores, visited websites, special spent nearly $53 billion, more than any other black friday weekend in history. >> 50% off, 20% off, for kids, a lot of things for kids. >> reporter: more than half bought clothing, and nearly 4 in 10 spent on electronics, up from last year. in some places, it got ugly. one woman supposedly waiting in line for an xbox at a wal-mart in los angeles pepper sprayed about 20 people in the store. >> some lady just started macing the crowd. >> reporter: authorities are still deciding whether or not to charge her. with some cyber monday deals expected to last through the week, and christmas coming up fast, retailers could have good reason to cheer. >> there's still plenty of holiday shopping left to come. it's all about the deal. >> michelle miller, cbs news, new york.

and as michelle mentioned, today is cyber monday. in our next hour, we'll ask the ceo of online retail giant zappos what he is expecting from shoppers today. there's growing tension this morning between the u.s. and pakistan after saturday's nato air strikes killed 24 pakistani soldiers near the afghanistan border. >> that incident has sparked angry demonstrations inside of pakistan. and we are near the khyber pass, one of the main supply routes for the u.s. troops. >> reporter: we are near the border crossing that pakistan has closed in retaliation for the nato air strikes. now more than 400 trucks are stranded on the other side of the border. this is the aftermath of the air strikes. dead soldiers here beneath white blankets scattered among the wounded. the cell phone footage obtained by cbs news was shot by a soldier picking his way through the bodies. >> so many of us.

>> reporter: carried live on tv with politicians and military generals in attendance, the funerals for the pakistani soldiers were treated like a state ceremony. the head of the pakistani army told mourners the nato strikes were an attack on pakistan's sovereignty. the grief over the killings spilled onto the streets of pakistan. nato forces have apologized for the incident, and launched a full investigation. afghan officials say coalition forces came under fire from the direction of pakistani checkpoints, prompting the air strike. pakistan sealed this border crossing for 10 days last year after u.s. forces killed two pakistani soldiers. but with so many more soldiers dead, and anti-american sentiment in pakistan running high, this border could be closed for much longer. mandy clark, cbs news, afghanistan. joining us now is former

assistant secretary of state jamie ruben, now a councillor to andrew comeau. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> before we talk about the larger and now fractured u.s.-pakistani relationship, more immediately, the closed borders at this point, is it a danger to u.s. troops? >> not yet. the military stockpiles support and supplies for many, many weeks. there are other routes in. because of the difficulty of the u.s. relationship with pakistan, the military has developed routes through the north. but difficult routes. and as this time goes on, it could become a problem of getting critical supplies. but not right now. >> this is the last thing that the u.s. needs right now, is any further friction in terms of its relationship. with pakistan. where does it go from here? because this remains as tumultuous as it is incredibly important relationship for the u.s. >> i think it's fair to say since 9/11, pakistan has been the epicenter of the international conflict that's resulted from those attacks. both because terrorists come

from pakistan and crucially because its policy on afghanistan will determine whether we can succeed there. and that's the problem. pakistan really has not behaved like an ally of the united states in the past. and it probably won't in the future. so how do you deal with an ally -- a country who's not behaving as an ally but yet whose support you need to make afghanistan a success? that's the problem. >> and is there an answer? >> well, here's a question. everyone talks about how important this relationship is. not saying that it's not. but i thought jon huntsman said something very interesting over the weekend. he said i would recognize exactly what the u.s.-pakistani relationship has become, which is merely a transactional relationship. are we expecting too much of this relationship? >> well, i think it's also true that both president bush and president obama have sugar coated the reality, have not really leveled with the american people about how pakistan's

behavior really is inconsistent, and it's not fair and true to call them a real partner. and so perhaps if we were to be more candid about the difficulties, then the expectations would drop. and when one of these incidents happened, we wouldn't throw our hands up because we wouldn't expect pakistan to be behaving like an ally. >> and stop calling them a true partner. just call them a necessary business ally. >> well, look, they are both an ally and an enemy at times. you know, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the american number one soldier, just a couple of months ago, admiral mo hen, stated that the pakistani intelligence service supports our principle enemy in afghanistan, the hakani network. so are just not not a friend, sometimes they are supporting the enemy. >> in terms of the sugar coating that you say has gone on and the statement about the need to be more transparent, is there a concern that in that transparency, the relationship is further damaged and the good that the u.s. gets for it is

further threatened? >> well, that is the problem. i think if we developed a more mature policy in which we could be candid with the public, and this is crucial, the congress about how difficult it is to maintain both a relationship with the military, support them when we get something back, but also be clear about the problem. in the republican debate this past week, the issue of this aid to pakistan was really complicated, and nobody could agree on it. and that's why presidents are reluctant to be fully honest about pakistan because they're worried about losing those aid dollars that we need in order to get support when pakistan does provide it. which is real, and does help us in the case of drones to kill terrorist activities. >> no easy answer. >> jamie ruben, i sense that we'll see you again on this issue. >> thank you. we move now to egypt, where they are holding the first election since longtime president hosni mubarak was forced to quit in january.

>> millions are voting. in capital, we find elizabeth palmer in cairo with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, we were up at the crack of dawn to get out to the polling stations by the time the doors opened at 8:00. and by the time we arrived, there were already hundreds of people on the sidewalk lined up determined to vote. it's the police and the army keeping order outside polling stations for the long lines of voters waiting patiently to be allowed in. in the street, an obviously breach of the rules. activists were supposed to stop handing out campaign literature 48 hours ago. but inside, party workers and officials are watching like hawks to make sure that the voting is free and fair. so far, at least in this suburb, so good. >> i think it's my first time to vote. >> reporter: a few miles away in downtown, a few hundred protesters are still camped in tahrir square, most of them

boycotting the election. they argue egypt's ruling generals have to hand over power first. but in all the polling stations, proof that vast numbers of egyptians disagree. they want to see the generals pushed from power too, but through the ballot box. this election is going to stretch out for several weeks. but what happens today, the tone that is set today, is going to be crucial to see it through to a peaceful end. erica? >> elizabeth, thanks. meantime, three american college students who were detained a week ago in egypt are now back home. and derrick is joining us this morning. welcome home. >> hi. >> and thanks for getting up early for us. i know it's been a whirlwind over the last couple of days. you have denied that you were throwing firebombs as was initially alleged. there is video that the egyptian authorities have shown. we're going to show it right

now. they say this is you among the protesters wearing a face covering. first of all, is it you in the video? and second of all, what were you doing there when you were picked up? >> yeah. it's interesting that they show that video. and that does appear to be me. and as you can see in it, i'm just standing there. and they -- i don't know where they derived this story that i'm throwing something in the video. but i think that anybody who watches it will see that i'm just standing there. and we were on mohammed ahmud street, just a few blocks from tahrir square. >> what made you go down to the protests, and what drew you in? >> well, there's a fight for liberty and democracy and freedom. and i really enjoy politics personally, and i do believe that they are fighting for something valuable, and i had a strong desire to go see what was there. i suppose i'm a curious person.

>> see it for yourself first hand. how were you treated in jail? what were the conditions like? what were you told? >> well, the first night, we were not -- well, we weren't really told anything as to what was going to happen to us for a long time. for several days. but the first night, we were hit several times in the face, in the back of the neck, and we were forced to sit on the ground, in the dark, with our hands cuffed behind our backs. and there were a number of egyptian polic

european leaders at the white house. >> this morning the international monetariy fund is denying a report it is preparing to bail out italy. junior white house correspondent bill plante has a preview of today's meeting. what will the president and european leaders be discussing here? >> reporter: the biggest thing is europe's economic crisis as it was when the president met with the european leaders earlier this month in france. all politics is local and the obama administration fears that europe's problems threaten the u.s. economy. u.s. banks, according to one recent study, have sizeable exposure to european debt. anything that slows or further or damages the economy here is going to affect the president's re-election chances so he is trying to get europe to take measures to get their house in order. they will point to the failure of the super committee and ask why it didn't rein in its debt.

>> if they are worried about europe's debt, is there a plan on their end for intervention? >> is there no plan here but what they hope is that the europeans will take some action. if moody's says the rapid escalation of europe's debt threatens even the aaa rated economies and would like for germany and other aaa-rated countries to float some bonds to assist the countries in trouble like italy and spain, but this morning, germany says, huh-uh, no such plan. >> the president is traveling to scranton, pennsylvania, this week. what is the purpose of that trip? >> reporter: he taking his case about urgent business that has to get done before the end of the year. . several major items. one is the extension of the payroll tax cuts, a nonpartisan group say they have saved 120 million families about a thousand dlardsollars apiece. he wants to extend them and

extend long-term unemployment benefits. fix the alternative minimum tax which will affect a lot of people. and fix the medicare reimbursements so they are not reduced. all of that, of course, sets up the question of who pays for this? and another fight between republicans and democrats. >> and another, yes, bill plante at the white house, thank you very much. the latest on campaign 2012 where newt gingrich has surged to the front of the republican presidential race and he picked up a big endorsement over the weekend in new hampshire. >> the big question what are the odds that gingrich can build on that and keep the momentum going. jan crawford joins us in washington with the latest. jan, good morning we look at this endorsement and newt gingrich is the latest republican candidate to see this surge in the polls. the big question can he sustain that and what will help him doing that and avoid a bachmann, a perry, and a cain? >> right. how does he keep this momentum

going? this is a huge development going for gingrich. it doesn't mean he is going to win new hampshire but the positive coverage he is going to get it means he could well finish or compete for second with ron paul and the paper really hailed what they said was his bold conservative ideology, his past accomplishments in congress. now, it didn't get into his weaknesses. it acknowledged he is not a perfect candidate and i've got to point out the paper's track record of endorsing winners isn't that great. it has said in the past it would rather pick a long shot if he had a true conservative ideology and why it endorsed steve forbes over george bush in 2000 and pat buchanan in the '90s. gingrich is a long shot. it is inconceivable he could catch romney who is polling i think 18 points ahead in new hampshire and he has been for a while. >> what about nationally, as a national candidate? does he have any chance, jan, if it got this far of perhaps appealing to more voters than romney? >> reporter: across the country

he really blitzed kind of a spark with voters. they have looked at these other candidates, like you said, and they have moved on. they saw rick perry stumble in the debates and herman cain hit with allegations of harassment and struggle on foreign policy. they have seen gingrich perform really well in the debates. also has the clock on his side. i mean, the iowa caucuses are just next month so he has less time to falter. maybe he could be the last man standing here but, i mean, his fight isn't over. his opponents will start hitting him really hard and keep your eye on rick perry and michele bachmann on that. >> when it comes to immigration it's getting a lot of traction in the comments he made in last tuesday's debate. he was seeking to clarify them in the last few days, each over the weekend. he got some interesting, i guess you could call it almost support from an unlikely source in terms of those comments. >> unlikely source and maybe not the best endorsement. kind of funny. gingrich got the conservative new hampshire in new hampshire intorgsi i

endorsing and bill clinton coming out saying i like gingrich's plan on immigration. for concerns and particularly iowa voters i'm not sure that is exactly what a candidate would like to hear. gingrich in iowa is up five points in that state but every political insider you talk to says his position on immigration could really hurt him there. i think it will be less likely to be an issue in new hampshire, it's less conservative in new hampshire than in iowa and in new hampshire, i think he is probably going to start getting hit hard. i know he is because i was told by some of my campaign sources over the weekend he is going to hit hard in other things in his past. corporate money he took after he left speaker and corporate jets, the big spending at tiffany's, remember that? ethnic allegations when he was speaker and look for his opponents to go after him for a lot on that in the coming days. >> president clinton maybe not the best for conservatives but if you're looking for race and middle of the road, independents could help him in that regard. jan crawford in washington, thanks. >> thanks. terrell brown is over at the news desk now at 36 past the

hours and smugglely celebrating his victory with the jets over the bills over the weekend. >> very nice. thank you very much. >> is that why you're wearing 5:00 a.m. the commanders say they hope to clear the area as gently as possible. syracuse university has fired assistant mens basketball coach bernie fine. a third man alleged fine molested him as a boy. in a taped conversation between bobby davis, one of fine's original accusers and lau

mom's purse. >> reporter: jay wily is 8 years old and spent three weeks living in her car with her mom, her dad, two dogs, and a cat. did you think you were ever going to get out of the car? >> i thought i was going to be stuck in the car. >> reporter: how did you keep your spirits up? >> by still praying to god, somebody let us stay in a hotel. >> reporter: and how did you get out of the car? >> well, there is this nice lady named beth and then she gave us a lot of money so we could stay at the hotel and now i'm staying at the hotel. >> that nice lady she spoke about is death dabalos. beth, good morning. >> good morning. >> last time we spoke there were 1,500 homeless students in your school district alone. what is the situation there right now? >> well, sadly, the number continues to rise. currently, we are up 30% from a

year ago today and, sadly, if this number continues like this, we will be looking at over,000 homeless children by the end of the school year. >> beth, what is the situation like there compared to other districts around the country? >> well, what you're seeing here is just one window to what is happening throughout the nation. last year, throughout the nation, in most states, there was an 11% increase of homeless students. throughout the nation. >> right. so it's getting worse in many spots. >> everywhere. >> i think the images that a lot of people saw last night, they certainly -- they stun a lot of people that kids are in these situations. what is the biggest misconception out there about kids or people, in general, who are homeless right now? >> well, when people think about homelessness, they think will alcohols, drug addiction and mental illness. the fastest growing of the homeless population is families

and the other misconception is people think just get a job but that's such a challenge. our families are sending out applications all over the place and can't get a response, or they are underemployed. they are working but just don't make enough money to afford their housing. >> how does this affect kids when they are in school? they are up all night and worried about siblings and themselves and they aren't getting any sleep. when they get to school the next day i can't imagine that makes learning very easy. >> exactly. it doesn't just start, you know, when you're in the car. it starts before that when you're in that house and your parent loses their job and they hear the conversations and the fear and eviction notice comes and they are told to quickly pack their belongings and find someplace to go. the whole process is terrifying for children and for the parents and they are all doing this together. >> what are the solutions here, beth? >> it's a really tough situation right now. and the way we have approached it, if you go to seminolehomelesskids.org you'll

see some of the ideas we have done and you can implement throughout the country, but so many things we can do as a community, because first of all, you have to go to your school districts. school districts are, in essence, the largest service of the homeless provider and because we are federally mandated to identify homeless children so we know whot children are. if you're a mom with children you can go to the school and collect cans for them, or if you're a group of individuals, or city that wants to get together like -- >> beth, thank you very much. i apologize for cutting you off. we are going to get cut off here. you are doing wonderful work. thank you very much for joining us. we will be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

good morning, everyone. 7:55. get you caught up with the headlines in the bay area on monday. police hope this surveillance video will help them find a suspect in a san francisco hit-and-run suspect that critically injured a state firefighter. the video is from a jack in the box restaurant where the victim and the suspect got into a fight on thanksgiving night. and shortly after the firefighter was struck bir a vehicle at a nearby -- by a vehicle at a nearby gas station. l.a. city hall, a few protesters tossing water bottles and sticking at the officers and the protesters defying a 12:01 deadline to vacate the area. they're still there. the mayor released a statement late last night saying he sympathized with the protesters but concerned about their health and safety issues. still at a standoff at this

hour. traffic and weather for a monday coming up right after. this ,,,,,,,,,,,,

good morning, well, once again fog is still our big traffic story this morning. here is a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights have been on since before 6:30. it is still jammed solid from the macarthur maze. a heavy fog advisory from the span. and clearing a bit from the toll plaza. we can see traffic a little bit

better. the drive time down the east shore freeway, slow and westbound 88 gillman. it is really stacked up to richmond and your other bridges are still really fogged out as well. westbound 92, and you're going to want to take it extra slow this morning. and you can see, you can't really see the traffic, but the drive time is very heavy and 21 minutes between hayward and foster city. and elsewhere, a live look at 880 through oakland. where it is so thick, you cannot see the cars passing the coliseum. that is traffic. your forecast, here is lawrence. >> a little scary on the roadways this morning. that fog is very thick out there. going to be slow to lift, too, outside. the next hour or so, we should see some improvement. even at the coastline, dense fog at ocean beach. still dense fog advisory continues until 9:00 this morning, at least may have to be extended. we will have to see about that. temperatures expected to be in the 50s and 60s around the bay area. looks like some improving weather though as we head to the middle of the week. ,,,,,,,,,,

spotlight has been your natural habitat for more than ten years. how can you not like it? >> i'm a very private person. in fact, i spend most of my time at home, along with my kids in my pajamas. very happy. i'm most happy in private. >> angelina jolie there. she is a mom, activists and actress and now turned director. opening up to "60 minutes" and in a segment you didn't see last night on "60 minutes," she will talk about why beauty is not important, she says, as who you are inside. something that most people would probably agree with. >> yeah. >> especially a lot of parents.

had put out a distress call had already sunk. the task recorded by the night view camera was to try and find and rescue survivors, who were found bobbing in a life raft. a lynchman is lowered and one by one he manages to get a harness around the sea men and hoisted to safety and one is known to life. five others are thought to be missing. the strong gail was blowing as others joined the search but the ship had gone down too fast. >> the ship was struck by an enormous wave and she rolled and it was a catastrophic failure, she sank very quickly. >> reporter: prince william is on a three-year assignment as a search and rescue pilot working toward his full captain ticket. this past summer he was at the controls of a sinking helicopter as he landed it on the water

surface. not a technique the british use and not one that would have been much use in the conditions of this weekend's res coupe. russian ship "the swan land" seen here in better times, is now gone. prince william is now off shift. he and the other three members of his crew, having done what they could, at a cruel night at sea. mark phillips, cbs news, london. >> not too shabby. >> not too shabby at all. as we said, he's had -- not too bad of a year so far. >> he's had a very good year indeed. a lot of folks hoping for a good day today. it is, of course, cybermonday. a lot of retailers and also analysts will be looking to see if shoppers have the urge to click after a busy holiday weekend. so the hope is this could be the best cybermonday ever. one of the folks who probably is firmly in that camp hoping for it is tony hsieh, the ceo of zappos.

great to have you with us. >> thanks for having us. >> give us a sense, at some point, people said cybermonday is a trumped idea to get people to spend money which is not a bad thing at the end of the day because we are a consumer-based economy. whatever it may be now, how important is cybermonday now to online retailers? >> it's pretty funny zappos has been around since 1999 and when i first heard of cybermonday it was actually this thing that seemed like it was made up by the media and then over the years, it's changed where i think it just became this self-fulfilling prophecy and last year was our biggest day of the year and we are expecting it to be this year as well. it will be a record day for us. >> which a lot of people want to see. we saw the record numbers over

the weekend. most folks these days looking for any indication they can find of some sort of an economic turnaround. increase in consumer confidence. how important are the numbers and are these shopping habits when it comes to those indicators? >> well, it's a pretty good indicator for us of what the holiday -- rest of the holiday season will look like. for us, we have been lucky in that we have continued to grow every year, and first third quarters of this year we have grown 30 to 40%. we are definitely expecting this to be a record cybermonday for us. >> how have you seen buying habits changed? not only what people are spending but what they are buying over the last year or so? >> for us, it's now we are getting into our holiday season, the brand ugg is a big seller for us, north face and patagonia has been good over the years and we ex has been great. and we expect it to be good this year as well. >> spending more? those are pricier brands. >> our customers have always sought out those brands and what i find interesting we also find brands like nike and new balance as people are getting ready for their new year's resolutions. for us what is interesting we have had a lot of customers buy more clothing from us now compared to before we were primarily known for shoes and i think a big part of that they

know they get the free shipping both ways, for example, and with the holidays, 365-day return policy so i think that gives customers a lot of confidence over the years. >> how do you think the intermobile devices and internet had had on shopping? you have apps on the ipad and iphone. has that helped your bottom line? >> yeah. the ipad and iphone, we have apps on both of those and they have been popular amongst consumers and the number of people using them has been growing at a pretty rapid rate and then i think, you know, whether it's twitter or facebook or so on, they have been really

helpful for us indirectly because the main way we have been growing is word of mouth and repeat customers. when customers buy something from us, they now have an easy way to tell their friends. we actually have a new facebook app that actually allows for our vip customers to dress each other and dress themselves and so that has been pretty popular as well. >> tony hsieh, great to have you with us today. good luck today. >> thanks. thanks for having me. >> 7 minutes past the hour. terrell, good morning to you. syracuse university basketball coach jim boeheim says he agrees with the university's decision to fire assistant coach bernie fine. a third man says fine molested him as a child during a hotel stay in 2002. one of fine's origin accusers bobby davis recorded a phone conversation nine years ago with fine's wife laurie. laurie fine says she knows everything that went on. >> he has no business doing what he did with you. >> in retrospect. >> laurie fine admitted she had an affair with davis when he was 18. davis says he made the recording to prove his case. >> police are confronting occupy wall street protesters in los

generally the best idea? >> well, yes, but it's who you call that makes the difference. if you call that 800 number, the toll-free number to make the reservation because you're going to a clearinghouse and has no latitude on the rate. they cannot negotiate the rate. the call is free but you spent more money. >> it's not worth. the local number for the hotel you do call, it's important who you speak with. not just the general reservations. >> if you call the local hotel which i recommend you do and you ask to speak to reservations they reroute you back to the 800 number. speak to either the director of sales or the mod, stands for the manager on duty. those are the two people with the best knowledge of what their inventory is. if a wedding canceled the night before and they have 60 rooms to unload that won't show up on the 800 number. >> can you get anything done online? >> you can but there is a myth there that all of the available inventory is on online. what is worse than that hotels will advertise. you cannot get a better rate than you can get on our website

and that is false because you go right back to that conversation with the general manager or the director of sales because they don't want to lose that room. >> what do you do in that conversation? how do you negotiate the best possible rate when you have them on the phone? >> it's more than just the rate is the key. hotel will be competitive on rate but you want them to be as competitive on value. it's not just the rate. you can negotiate the rate and saying i'm coming tour city for the first time and want to stay with you what is the best rate you can give me and negotiate that on the phone but don't stop there. now you ask for the value added extras. can my kids stay free and can my kids eat free and will you throwing in eat parking? if you don't ask, you don't get. it's not advertising but they understand. i was staying at a hotel recently i rented a car and ask they throw in the free parking. they said yes. only when i was checking out i found out they were charges $42 a night for parking. i stayaved more than $120 that three-day i stayed there.

is to the construction? if you don't ask that question, you will be handed the keys to the jackhammer suite. >> lastly, when you get there? when you go to pick up those keys, hopefully, not to the jackhammer suite what do you ask? >> two questions. how close is my room to the ballroom? if you're over the ballroom at 2:00 in the morning is when they throw out the wine bottles they will wake you up. ask where the booster pumps are. no hotel can effectively put consistent water pressure on every floor so different floors they put booster pumps. you ask where the booster pumps are. it is a firehouse when you turn on your shower. >> no booster pumps? >> no, you want booster pumps. >> you want booster pumps but not jackhammer suites. >> nothing gets by you. >> or above the eighth floor. >> thank you, peter. appreciate it. >> terrell brown is at the news desk with another check of the

the $2 cables and $10 and $100 cables are all the same. it has no bearing on what your picture looks like. >> what about the other accessories? >> inside the stores, the cases are usually double what they cost if you buy them online or at the mall kiosks. especially at kate spade iphone cover is $40 and apple store is $20 online at amazon. >> if you're buying it for someone else maybe they want to pick out their own. >> that's right. >> i always have trouble with this and turns into a battle with myself and my husband and i think a lot of people can relate. the extended warranty. >> it's a little insurance, how can i go wrong? in the big box stores, this insurance is about double the cost and only covers about half of what a lot of third-party insurers or warranties cover. here is the other deal.

yourself these days. you turn it on, your computer walks you through it. if you get stuck, you can call a help line, you can online and google it and chances are somebody will walk you through it on youtube as well. >> also something we shouldn't pay more for, not pay for more than you actually need. a tough one for me these days. ram storage, data plan, especially on a mobile device, how much data do i need? because unlimited doesn't exist any more. >> right, right. another thing. most people here ram and they get a little overwhelmed and freaked out. ram is a very easy way to add speed, power, and storage to your computer. you can buy that extra ram online and install it yourself for a fraction of the cost of getting it done in the store. >> it is easy to install? and kind of fun because you feel good about yourself. >> if i can do it, anyone can do it. >> no, it's if i can do it, anyone can do it. come on, you're the tech girl. talk to me about the unlimited data plan has gone away with people with their mobile

devices. how do you handle that? >> an independent survey recently showed 9 out of 10 people overpaid and think they need more gigabytes and all of this stuff they don't need. if you're a normal person with your smart phone you do a little bit of surfing on your web and watch a video or something every once in a while, you only need one gigabyte. if you use your mobile phone as a mobile hot spot that gives wi-fi to your computer all day every day, then you're going to need more but very few people use it for that. go on a site. lots of sites that will kind of,

california should be proud. we were the first to ban smoking on airplanes. the first to have smoke-free bars and restaurants. all while saving over $86 billion in health care costs... and over a million lives. we've done a good job. but even if you were born today, you'd still grow up in a world where tobacco kills more people... than aids, drugs, alcohol, murder and car crashes... combined. we have a lot more work to do.

you see a lot of mean girls on reality tv. now there's a new survey out from the girl scouts research

institute which suggests watching those shows is making other girls mean as well. >> michelle miller takes a look at the impact these reality shows are having on teenagers. >> are you hungry? >> i serve you breakfast in bed! >> how much of you watch reality tv? >> i think it's funny sometimes. >> are they mean? >> yeah. >> to each other. >> very very mean to each other. >> reporter: teen girls have always liked drama. >> i'm just doing what everyone else is saying behind your back. >> reporter: a new survey says girls who regularly watch reality tv expect a higher level of drama and bullying in their daily lives. do a lot of your students watch these reality tv shows? >> yes. constantly. you cringe at what they are laughing at or what they think was funny or was okay. >> reporter: at new york's facing history high school, assistant principal mark otto says reality tv creates a culture in which certain behaviors become more

acceptable. ♪ >> we look at shows like "the bad girls club" my girls talk about that all the time. the meaner you are, the crazier you are, the louder you are, the more excited things are and the more popularity you have. they are saying it's humorous as opposed to hurtful and that is the problem. >> reporter: among girls, 50% reality tv viewers say girls are naturally katie compared to one another compared to 50% of nonviewers. >> reality tv models are extremely damaging to a girl's ability to find their identity in authentic ways. >> cheers! >> girls are encouraged to fight and to not trust one another. ♪ >> reporter: why do you think they like it? >> because they believe it's the closest thing or the closest possibility to them becoming famous. >> they are reduced to thinking

that reality tv is a stepping stone to something positive, when, in fact, a lot of the time it's a stepping stone to humiliation and degradation. >> reporter: students at the facing history school say that reality tv often has the opposite effect on them. >> you see these females that portray themselves a certain way and it's just, to me, is just saddening. like you're a woman that you could be strong, you could be the best of the best of everything. and then you show people the worst part of you. >> reporter: most girls surveyed said that watching reality tv can serve as a learning tool and inspire conversations with their parents and friends. still, experts warn about the risks of confusing reality tv with reality. >> for every hour that you see of an average reality show, usually that means that they have shot more than a hundred

hours of tape, less than 1% of what has gone on is what you're seeing on screen. >> is this real? >> no, it's a joke. >> michelle miller, cbs news, new york. >> i was watching julie ross' reactions here at some of these clips and her expressions tell a thousand words. she is the executive director of parenting horizons. a parent/teacher education. >> she is the author of "a porcupine." jeff mentioned watching your reaction. a lot of people's reacttions may have been similar in watching some of those clips. reality tv, some people say as terrible as it is, it could be a great lesson as we saw for those girls at the facing history high school. >> right. it can be a great lesson but only if the adults take charge and make it a lesson. so what is happening at the high school is clearly they have got a program in place that's been thought out ahead of time so that they can use it as a

teaching tool. unfortunately, i think a lot of what happens is that these kids are watching it at home. the parents are not around and not watching the same thing and so the lessons are getting internalized as opposed to talked about in a meaningful way that can cause an option reaction to the mean girl syndrome. >> the study we are talking about here said 78% of regular viewers of these shows agreed that gossiping is a normal part of the relationship between girls compared with only 54% of nonviewers. that's a significant difference. so if you are at home and you're a parent, what can you do? you just have to be there? >> well, you know, the reality is that if we want to counteract as parents the influence of reality shows or any other television or media on our kids, we have to spend more time with our children than they spend with the tv and that is a hard thing for parents. >> it is. a hard thing to working parents and you're trying to make dinner. you say, sure, can you watch a show. we have to sit there and monitor it and limit, obviously, what they do. >> right.

>> that's not the only part of the parenting that i know you think is important. you talk about something called be a benevolent monarch which is a fancy term but what does it really mean? >> i believe that parents should be the ruler in the family. and i think that when parents enact the same principles or philosophies that benevolent monarchs use could be effective. some is govern wisely and be consistent. what is appropriate. parents often expose their children to things that they are not developmentally capable of handling yet. and parents have the responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interests of their kids, even if it's inconvenient for the parents or the parents needs to make a sacrifice for that. >> in many ways it sounds like how we grew up. those were my parents. but it's a bit of a departure from the, hey, i'm your best

friend and want to help you out. >> absolutely. >> you talk about the method which is whatever i say goes and some parents may be doing but not the permissive parenting. >> exactly. >> somewhere in the middle? >> yeah. it's kind after fusion of those two things, because neither of those is particularly effective in today's society. >> an interesting concept. you're supposed to be a parent basically. >> isn't that amazing? >> shocker! >> it is a shock, right? >> it's not a friendship relationship even though they can be your friend. you're a parent. >> yeah. >> well, i think a lot of the mistakes that parents make is they go into being a parent without really educating themselves on how to do that so they think i'll be able to do it through instinct. but that's not the case. >> great. a great lesson and nice to have you here with us this morning. >> thank you very much. nice to be here. >> there you go. that is your lesson for the day. >> we will get back to our benevolent monarchy now. have a great day, everybody. >> good luck with your online
