Grad Sues College for $70,000 Because She Can’t Find a Job

xrammyx — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 05:59:23 +0000

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…..

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.

David Carradine, star of ‘Kung Fu,’ dies at 72

xrammyx — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:05:32 +0000

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 actor, who was in Bangkok to shoot a movie, could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the film crew on Wednesday, the newspaper said. His body was found by a hotel maid at 10 a.m. this morning.

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).

Carradine starred as a peace-loving Buddhist monk with a flair for the martial arts in “Kung Fu,” which ran on ABC from 1972 to 1975. The hourlong series featured Carradine as the shaven-headed Kwai Chang Caine, the orphaned son of an American man and a Chinese woman.

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.
