The following is a listing of current scholarship applications which are available for your pick-up in the Career Center. This list is intended to give you a brief synopsis of the most pertinent information for each scholarship or award. If a scholarship looks interesting to you, come to the career center to pick up a hardcopy application (located in the money box), or if a web address is provided apply directly using the stated web-site.

Please note that the deadlines are in red, and that scholarships targeting only a certain population will have the specific requirement noted in blue. Most of these scholarships are for seniors, last year’s class of 2007 was awarded 127 private/corporate donor scholarships, over and above those partial to free rides given by the various schools of higher learning to their students. Occasionally I do receive scholarships for juniors, sophomores and freshmen as well. These will be duly noted at the end of this list.

Thousands of glitches and too many delayed deadlines for long waited video games to count have plagued the gaming industry, but those problems are mere annoyances compared to the fiend lurking in the shadows of Microsoft’s juggernaut, the Xbox 360.

A simple flashing light on the Xbox can bring a world of pain and torment to a new owner of the Xbox 360: the fatal “Red Ring of Death”. As soon as you see those lights blink, you can expect to send your Xbox to the repair store or kiss your Xbox goodbye.

"JOHN WOO PRESENTS STRANGLEHOLD"
For: Xbox 360 and Playstation 3
From: Tiger Hill/Midway
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood, drug reference, intense violence)

Arguably no game has earned the "action game" classification quite like "Stranglehold," which incidentally also rewrites the rules on how to translate a film into a game.

"Stranglehold" isn't based on a movie, but in fact is a sequel to John Woo's "Hard Boiled." The narrative isn't Hemingway, but it works as an excuse to revisit Chow Yun-Fat's Inspector Tequila. (Yun-Fat provides his voice.)

From wikipedia:
Tomás de Iriarte (or Yriarte) y Oropesa (Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, island of Tenerife, September 18, 1750 Madrid, September 17, 1791), Spanish neoclassical poet.

Tomás was born to the Iriarte family, many of whose members were writers in the humanist tradition. His father was Don Bernardo de Iriarte, and his mother was Doña Bárbara de las Nieves Hernández de Oropesa.
