		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been receiving a few e-mails from Reseda High School students asking me about Mary Ann Henderson. She was the 15-year-old classmate of ours who was raped and murdered after a football game in 1976. These current Reseda students tell me stories of a ghost haunting the campus, and they think it is her.

Unfortunately, it looks like we&#8217;re going to be rained out for the second Saturday in a row. So, we had to cancel the ceremony.

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I spoke to our league&#8217;s coaches about not letting trash talk get to them. I told them to follow my mom&#8217;s advice and let such talk &#8220;roll off your back like water of a duck.&#8221; There is one group who could have used my advice more: the El Toro High School.

She talked about how people like Jesus, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for justice, compassion, and peace. Yet, they faced fierce and violent opposition, and they were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago, I blogged about the dangers of trash talk. Too bad the Philadelphia Eagles didn&#8217;t read it. Here is what one of them did in Cowboys Stadium before yesterday&#8217;s playoff game.
