incriminating, are they not? >> they're horrendous. one of the things that happens as we heard is a thousand texts within days coming up to this event. this is a boy whoo has tried to commit suicide in the past. she knows this. she is literally encouraging him. at some point he's in the car. this is carbon monoxide poisoning. he's in the car. he gets out of the car. she tells him to go back in the car. later on she tells him -- when i say tells him, it was through the text. later on she actually texts a friend and admits i was on the phone with him, he got out of the car because it was working. he got scared and i told him to get back in. >> so what's her motivation? >> people says she likes to be in the midst of the story. she likes high drama. she wanted to be part of this story. her conduct afterward is highly bizarre. she's actually raising funds for suicide prevention. >> isn't it illegal to encourage

someone to commit suicide when they're going to do it? >> this is a legality. if you text technology and the law, always that dilemma, if you text with that encouragement, are you also guilty of a manslaughter? this is a case to watch. >> you said in the beginning it looks bad. it sounds awful. thank you rikki. all right. they abuse the system and keep their jobs so why are the federal government's hands tied? >> how much is this costing the taxpayers? >> there's no question that taxpayers are losing, you k there's a lot more ahead. we'll be right back.

protect againsticly motivated firings. they give employees the right to appeal a termination, a process that could take up to two years. >> there ooh a big difference between trying to protect against that and what we have today. >> reporter: he says those rules make it nearly impossible to fire poor performers or problematic employees, even when they've committed egregious violations. >> many managers would like to get rid of problem employees and find that they have to go through a challenging process. >> reporter: a cbs news analysis of cases under review by the systems review board found other instances of employees who had committed seemingly fireable offenses but were later reinstated to their jobs often with back pay and interest. ♪ we're at the wrc tonight ♪ >> cases such as this are no

exception. three years ago the general services administration spent more than $800 on the lavish vegas conference. 1,000 sushi rolls were served and a clown and a mind reader were hired for entertainment. two managers got fired but got their jobs back. >> what does it take to be fired from the gsa? >> there's a lock-standing due process they're entitled to as part of their employment. we've start thad process for several individuals that were involved in execution and planning of this conference. >> the appeals board found that while the conference's level of zrav against has no place in government the gsa did not convincingly approve that they had notice of this. the gsa was ordered to cancel the appellant's removals.

the recognition that if you're not doing your job and you're creating a hostile work environment, you've got to go. on average about 6,000 terminations are appeal each year. about half of those are related to misconduct and poor performance. >> one of those things don that makes no sense. >> i heard everything you said and i'm still going huh? >> it was set up initially to protect employees when there's a new administration that comes in so you can't have vengeance firings but it's really abuse it's gone all the way to the other side. too many americans do not get enough sleep, no kidding. why pain is keeping people up at night. talk about pains, big pains as people

in in our morning rounds a sur

survey on sleep may be an overlooked sleep disorder. the implications go beyond feeling refreshed. dr. holly is with us this morning. help us understand here what pain does to sleep. >> one of the very interesting aspects of the survey was a survey of a thousand people asked about their sleep habits, overall health and their pain levels. when it comes to pain the researchers were surprised at how common it was in our sleep. people who had chronic pain ended up with a 42-minute sleep debt a week. this is really impactful because 57% of americans reported having acute or chronic pain in the survey. >> so they used pain medications. >> pain medications are a problem. it's sort of counterintuitive.

they make us drowsy so you think you're getting better sleep. but actually being under the influence of pain medicines changes how our sleep cycle gos. you might not spend as much time in deep sleep, the truly refreshing sleep and more time in light sleep. so even if you're in bed for your 7 to 9 hours, you might not get the quality sleep you need. >> deep sleep, the holy grail, help me. get some more of that. i can't even go there. >> the key thing here is to drink less alcohol and get more exercise. >> and she is right. but the headline of this research really was that the difference between people who get enough sleep and people who don't is motivation. >> you have pain issues and you have sleep issues. what are you supposed to do with that? >> again, i think it comes down to motivation. you do what you can. >> you're motivated, you're still a mess.

>> it's true. it's about prioritizing the sleep. making sure you're not on too much pain medicine and doing exercises, yoga trying to cut down on things we know interfere with sleep. just scheduling it. many times we'll schedule meetings, schedule school pickups, but we won't schedule our 7 to 9 hours of sleep and cancel things that interfere with it. that's where we'll see the difference. >> how about the people that don't get seven to nine hours and function all right? are they telling the truth? >> a large portion of my practice does that and i'm focused on it. fatigue is only one sign of sleep. sleep deprivation. there are others we can't pick up. changes in mood, changes in our memory, and risk for illnesses. because you feel fine doesn't mean you're getting enough sleep. >> i could turn into mad at any

moment. >> more sleep is better. >> i can have an excuse. >> thank you. >> holly, thank you so much. >> she's still here. he's making history. meet the young wrestler inspiring others. she takes down the competition. >> this is an amazing story. >> we saw this story in the paper and said that's a great story. that's next. here on "cbs this morning."

self-conscious. ronna is a wrestler it's a sport the high school sophomore has devoted herself to since the third grade. so even though she's the first female to ever participate in south dakota's stiet wrestling tournament, she's treating it like any other competition. >> i've already been in the crowd like this before. it feels like any other tournament or match. i'm out there, trying to work hard and grind it out and beat them. >> ronna has had plenty of success in the sport she's love. she even traveled to sweden in part of a development team. this year almost 12,000 female wresters will compete. a few states have enough competitors to warrant all girl leagues but not south dakota. title ix gives women the right to grapple with the boys but not everyone is on board with the

idea. >> girls don't wrestle. >> good for boys. >> in several matches boys forfeited matches rather than compete against her. tim heaton is ronna's dade. >> boys that didn't wrestle her they were pretty confident they weren't going to beat her and didn't want that. >> i have never wrestle add female and i have nothing against it. if they want to join the sport, they can. >> he had early doubts about ronna but now sees her as a another wreftd ler. >> she goes out and competes like the others. i'm proud of her. she's doing a helluva job. >> scott miller is ronna's coach. >> she is slowly turning into one of our better wrestlers. a lot of people are watching her and realize it's not garrell issue. it's a wrestler issue and she's a very good wrestler.

>> her talent on the mat lead her to a seventh place fin innish. she's now the first female in the state to accomplish that feat. ronna knows she'll continue to be faced with complaints about being in a competition that's male-dominated sport. >> i'm still going to wrestle. they can't stop me. >> several of ronna's state competitors declined a quest for an interview. she's already getting interest from many conferences that offer women's wrestling programs. >> great. >> and her competitors welcomed it? >> well not everyone at first, but once she gets out there, they see she is equally qualified to be out there. >> i love they said it's not a girl issue. it's wrestler issue and her competitor said she's doing a helluva job. >> i loved her dad. i love heard dad. >> great story. ahead, the most unstoppable

that. >> cal, do you think the game's too long? >> i think there's an issue of pace of play but i don't like the duration of play. you can't say baseball is supposed to be played in this amount of time because each game happens a little differently. i wouldn't want to put a limit on games, but i would encourage the game to be played a little more briskly. the guys that know how to play, there's a pace that's really fun to be a part of and fun to watch. >> when did you first meet a-rod? >> he was 16 years old. he came to a spring training game in ft. lauderdale. >> so what's your assess mnlts of his of his future? >> his future? i can't predict his future. i met him when he was young. he was a good-hearted kid. he wanted to play baseball. i'm sure he regrets some of the things that have gone through, but at this stage of his life, i look at him and want him to enjoy baseball. >> has he done everything that's necessary to do to apologize for what he did to himself and the

reputation of baseball? >> well, i mean you can look at what he's done and how he's actually handled that and you could offer some criticism if you want, but in the end i think we're all throwing up our hands and saying okay, enough of all that. let's get back and play ball and focus on what's going on. it might be a little bit of a distraction for his teammates which is sad. it might be a difficult time for him to relax and enjoy the last parts of his career but my hope is he can. >> your book your latest book in the series of books that you right for kids "out at home" talked about mickey and zoom. they're on the same team but there's a little controversy between the two of them. the reason you write the book is you want to teach kids lessons about sports and good sportsmanship. >> yeah. and some of the issues that are around that we all deal with. the very first one was about my own personal experience. it was hothead. >> that was connor sullivan.

>> if things didn't go writeright, i threw my helmet my bat. my mom pulled me down and said that energy is good when those things happen but you should channel that in a positive direction. >> when did you start doing this? >> i always liked influencing kids in a positive way. we did some early kids books that were well received and i was a reader. i like to read. for some reason when you write issues down in a book it becomes more factual and meaningful and it's less emotional for kids to think about somebody else having an issue and then relating it back to them. >> issue. that word. you deal with all of those, bullying, hot head. all of those deal with sports manship. >> we had kids who were teased for being bigger but talent comes all over the place so it's good to accept kids for who they

are and we try to celebrate the individual accomplishments and also the team's fundamental aspects. >> it's a father/son coaching. did you coach your son? >> i did. >> did he like your coaching? >> i retired when i was 8. my dad wasn't around me in a coaching sense at all. the emotional part about a dad and a son he doesn't give me any credit for knowing anything about baseball. sometimes i had to go through other coaches and tell him and he would receive it in the same credible fax that he would receive it from me. >> cal rifken jr., congratulations. >> my pleasure. >> "out at home" goes on sale tomorrow. and another baseball great talks with jeff glor. >> three championships for buster posey. that's coming up on "cbs this
