High School Girls Basketball Team Receives a Technical for Pink Uniforms

The Burke High Bulldogs received a technical at the start of the 2nd half because their uniform was not the mostly white home team uniform they were suppose to wear and the team never let anyone know they would be wearing something different. The thing about this whole story is that the refs did not say anything until the opposing team's coach brought it up.
The Bulldogs wore the pink uniforms to raise money for Make-A-Wish, they were doing it for charity. Is it right they were penalized? Yes they should have made sure they let others know, but should they have received a technical? Not sure. Read the whole story and let me know what you think.

Cold/Flu What is the Polite Thing to Do?

If you are not feeling well because we all know "it's going around" then stay home. That is what msnbc.com is saying in their article about flu faux pas and the etiquette of being sick. Also remember what you were taught when we were kids and what we teach our own ids - cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. Pretty basic stuff, but sometimes those people we work with need a "friendly" reminder. Read the whole article by clicking here.

Unbelievable

A 10-year Mexican girl gave birth to a 31 week old baby boy. This is so sad in many ways. As a mother of a 10 year girl I could never imagine this happening, no 10 year old girl is ready nor should be ready to be a mother.
