NEW YORK (CNN) — A recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 — the full cost of her tuition and then some — because she cannot find a job.

Trina Thompson, 27, of the Bronx, graduated from New York’s Monroe College in April with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology.

On July 24, she filed suit against the college in Bronx Supreme Court, alleging that Monroe’s “Office of Career Advancement did not help me with a full-time job placement. I am also suing them because of the stress I have been going through.”

The college responded that it offers job-search support to all its students.

In her complaint, Thompson says she seeks $70,000 in reimbursement for her tuition and $2,000 to compensate for the stress of her three-month job search.

Rough Day…

Two big loss’s today, first was the US losing to Brazil in the Confederations Cup. I thought the U.S. had in the bag with a 2-0 lead going into the 2nd half. Also the announcer’s fun fact of “97 times US has led at halftime and have only lost once”. Well, once again math fails us.

Second loss of the day, and probably a lot bigger than the US losing is the death of Billy Mays. Billy Mays is the guy you run at the TV looking for the remote to try and mute his commercials. Yes, he’s THAT guy. Well unfortunately today he died. Its still unconfirmed how he died, but we’ll find out soon enough. Can we exchange the death of Billy Mays for the SlapChop guy? What do you say about that Death?

Good News from the Auto Industry

Finally there’s some good news from the auto industry.

OnStar says the way it notifies emergency responders in accidents has helped save more lives–and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) agrees.

The CDC has published a study of two years’ worth of data that shows vehicles with OnStar and other automatic crash-notification systems can give critical patients a better chance at surviving. The CDC’s Web site reports that by transmitting crash data to emergency personnel, those EMTs and hospitals involved can decide whether a patient needs Level I trauma center care or not–and delivering those patients in need to a Level 1 center can lower the risk of death by 25% for severely injured patients.
