by xrammyx on Aug.03, 2009, under My World
Trina Thompson gave it the old college try, but couldn’t find work. Now she thinks her sheepskin wasn’t worth her time, and is suing her alma mater for her money back.
The Monroe College grad wants the $70,000 she spent on tuition because she hasn’t found gainful employment since earning her bachelor’s degree in April, according to a suit filed in Bronx Supreme Court on July 24.
The 27-year-old alleges the business-oriented Bronx school hasn’t lived up to its end of the bargain, and has not done enough to find her a job.
The information-technology student blames Monroe’s Office of Career Advancement
for not providing her with the leads and career advice it promised.
"They have not tried hard enough to help me," the frustrated Bronx resident wrote about the school in her lawsuit.
Well I know I would feel the same way if my school or government did not help me…..

by xrammyx on Jun.09, 2009, under My World
CLEBURNE – Cleburne residents reported hearing a clap of thunder this morning, but the skies were blue.
That’s the word from a spokesman for the North Central Texas city after another earth tremor was detected there.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 8:02 a.m. Monday tremor registered a 2.3-magnitude centered in a western neighborhood of Cleburne.
City spokesman Charlie Hodges says that after the sound like a thunder clap, residents reported hearing a low rumble for about two seconds, then nothing. He says no damage nor injuries were reported.
The tremor comes a day after a 2.6-magnitude tremor reported in the Parker community, about 10 miles to the southeast of Cleburne. A 2.8-magnitude quake Tuesday hit Cleburne on Tuesday.
Wow I sure did not feel it, but I do have to say that I fell down earlier, and it was not me….
David Carradine, star of ‘Kung Fu,’ dies at 72

Carradine was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, where he was working on a movie. A Thai newspaper indicates he committed suicide; the U.S. Embassy confirms his death but offers no details.
David Carradine, who became a TV icon on the early 1970s western series “Kung Fu” and had a long career in the movies, has been found dead in Bangkok, Thailand. He was 72.
Carradine was found hanged in his hotel room today, the Thai newspaper The Nation reported on its website, citing unidentified police sources. He was believed to have committed suicide.
The Associated Press reported that Michael Turner, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, confirmed Carradine’s death, but out of consideration for the actor’s family could not provide more details.
The son of noted character actor John Carradine, David Carradine appeared in more than 100 films, including Martin Scorsese’s “Boxcar Bertha” (1972) and Ingmar Bergman’s “The Serpent’s Egg” (1977). He also played folk singer Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby’s “Bound for Glory” (1976) and was Bill in Quentin Tarantino’s two “Kill Bill” films (2003 and 2004).
When Caine’s mentor, Master Po, is murdered by the Chinese emperor’s nephew, Caine kills the nephew. To avoid execution, he flees to the American West, where he begins a search for his half brother.
Born in Hollywood on Dec. 8, 1936, Carradine studied music theory and composition at what is now called San Francisco State University. He developed an interest in acting while writing music for drama department revues and joined a Shakespearean repertory company.

Family ‘Shocked, Devastated’ Over Death of Actress Natasha Richardson
by xrammyx on Mar.19, 2009, under My World
Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson died Wednesday at the age of 45 in a New York City hospital.
Alan Nierob, publicist for Richardson’s husband Liam Neeson, confirmed her death Tuesday night in a written statement.
“Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time,” the statement said.
The actress had been transported back to New York City from Canada, where she suffered a head injury after falling on a beginners ski slope.
Sources close to Richardson told FOXNews.com on Tuesday that the actress was brain dead. Members of her family, including her mother, actress Vanessa Redgrave, her sister, actress Joely Richardson, and her two young sons were seen at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she was taken.
Police Close to Charging California Prisoner in Chandra Levy Case
by xrammyx on Feb.21, 2009, under My World
Police have interviewed and are close to charging a California prison inmate in the eight-year-old case of Chandra Levy, the federal intern who vanished and was found murdered a year later, a law enforcement official told FOX News on Saturday.
The official said Washington, D.C., authorities submitted evidence to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to obtain an arrest warrant for Ingmar Guandique, a Salvadoran immigrant who will be served papers in California and likely will be flown to Washington to hear the charges against him.
Guandique, 27, is in the high-security Victorville federal prison in Adelanto, Calif., the source told FOX.
Guandique was convicted of assaulting two women in Washington’s Rock Creek Park around the time of Levy’s disappearance and is serving a 10-year sentence in federal prison, according to The Washington Post. It’s the same park where Levy’s remains were found in 2002, the year after she vanished.
Another inmate told investigators that Guandique confessed to Levy’s murder, according to WRC-TV in Washington. But Guandique reportedly changed his story when speaking to police, saying that he saw Levy several times in the park but played no part in her death.
Levy’s parents, Robert and Susan Levy, said Friday night that police told them there had been a break in the case, KXTV in Sacramento reported.
“Your child is dead and gone and it’s painful, but we’re glad that the police and people are doing something, and investigating, and making a difference so somebody’s not on the street to do it again,” Susan Levy told KGO-TV in San Francisco.
The parents did not say when an arrest warrant might be issued.
Levy, 24, of Modesto, Calif., had just completed an internship at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared after leaving her apartment in jogging clothes on May 1, 2001. Her remains were found about a year later.
The cause of death was ruled a homicide, but nobody ever was charged.
Levy was romantically linked to married California Rep. Gary Condit. He acknowledged to detectives that they had an intimate relationship, but he denied any involvement in or knowledge of Levy’s disappearance or death. Levy’s parents also said their daughter had told them about the affair.
Though police never publicly named Condit a suspect, the negative publicity from the case was cited as the main cause of the Democrat’s re-election defeat in 2002.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Saturday her department had no information to release in the ongoing case.
“This case generated numerous bits of information, which we continue to follow up on,” she said in a statement.
After Condit did not get re-elected, he sued several media outlets that had connected him to the disappearance and death of Levy. He reached an undisclosed settlement with three tabloid newspapers.
finally maybe some closure in this case, it was cold for a long time.
