15 Classic Games and Franchises Fit for Modern or Next-Gen Revival: Part 2
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 05:22pm 11/12/12 | Comments
Day 2 of our Resident Revival feature where we explore 15 games (three each day) we think would transition easily into the modern/future era of gaming...
Yesterday (Monday, November 10) we began a week-long countdown feature outlining 15 classic games or franchises we think are ripe for the modern/future gaming era. It's a hot topic, because everyone has fond memories of games from yesteryear -- games that may have shaped them into the people, or gamers they are today.
So we picked from a heady list of titles across a number of genres and platforms and found 15 we think have what it would take to transition to now, or into the future. We've also invited you to drop your own thoughts on what you think would work and to agree or disagree with our own list, of which we're showing you three titles each day.
Yesterday we gave you the X-Wing series, Shadow Man and the classic Battletoads. It's important to remember, however, none of these are actually in any order of what is specifically best, across the board, in our opinion, each of these would have an equal place in the revival space.
Now, on to day two:
|A Turok game running in Far Cry 3's landscape would be pretty cool, I never got around to playing the last Turok game that came out though. I've love to see another Double Dragon, Bubsy the Bobcat and Snake, Rattle & Roll.
|i usually hate the gimmicky list based s*** gaming websites shove up to attract readers but i'm really enjoying this. shadowman is long overdue, that s*** was not fun, but the atmosphere, music and characters were on point and well ahead of their time.
|Loom . <3
|There was a Turok game that came out for PS3, 360 and PC in 2008. It was pretty good.
|There was this game I played, must have been 1995 or something where you ran around as a lion eating animals and people on safari all set in africa
|Ah I loved the Street Rod series, I remember flogging SR to death and then out came SR2 and it looked so much better. Sure it was simplistic driving, tuning of engines and customisation but damn was it all fun.
Loom, I loved, such an elegant game it was in that Lucasart classic adventure game format but oh so different. Any of the old Lucasarts games would be potentially really big redone - Full Throttle and even the later ones such as Grim Fandango which was truly a piece of art.
Never liked the Turok games myself but damn did they have a big appeal to the gaming masses back then, plenty of people picked up an N64 just to play it.
|Streed Rod has had a few 'spiritual sequels'. Whether it be in the form of the attempt at a 'greaser racing MMO' of Motor City Online, or the Street Legal (and it's sequel SL: Racing Redline) games, which technically achieved amazing things, it simply needed to be picked up and given more funding to really polish the game up! But you guys are dead on. Here is a game that needs a remake!
Loom was epic for it's day, only an independent developer would stand a chance at remaking that game with any real credibility. Call me pessimistic, but I just don't see a big developer remaking it with 1/10th of the 'attention to detail' that loom deserves.
Grundar, Any of the Lucasarts games would hold up on a tablet or for mobile gaming just fine; the only real work in that is making an interface that worked with a touch screen!
And one of the things I remeber fondly about the Turok games was the RIDICULOUS assortment of weapons (what was that one weapon that would burrow into the skull of the target and then explode... that was awesome fun!). In fact, that's why I recall both Duke Nukem 3D and Blood with great fondness, the assortment and range (and balance!!) of the weapons in both of those games is a good portion of the reason those games were AWESOME fun!
Today I'm going to follow this article up with my own suggestion of 'Haloween Harry / Alien Carnage'. It was the right balance between 'traditional platformer', goofy plot and awesome soundtrack that made the original shine. I know there was a sequel (which didn't do the original any benefit) only a few years later, but there's a game that could really shine if done in a similar vain to 'Bionic Commando: Rearmed'.
(Also, to Steve and the AG/QGL crew; Cheers for running this editorial!)
|So far 6 fails from 6. 100% miss rate, keep this up and you get the "Epic Fail Waste of Banwidth" article of the year.
|^ whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Someone is a negative nancy. No one talks to Steve like that.

Candidates For The Mississippi Supreme Court Make Their Case At the Neshoba County FairBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 02 Aug 2012 05:44pm |
A Mississippi representative is trying to unseat the chief justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports both spoke at the Neshoba County fair yesterday.
That's state representative Earle Banks telling voters at the Neshoba County fair why he should replace current Chief Justice Bill Waller on the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Mississippi Supreme Court justices are elected to 8 year terms and this fall four judicial seats will be on the ballot.
Banks says his legislative experience qualifies him for the seat.
He also accused the court of being too out of touch with average Mississippians.
"I think it is time to bring the court back to the center. Back to where we need to be to protect the lives and people of Mississippi. Whether it is worker's comp or unemployment benefits. That is what we need to be doing," Banks said.
Banks cited this year's decision upholding pardons issued at the end of former Governor Haley Barbour's term as an example of the court being 'out of touch'.
"The legislature passed the rules and regulations and the laws as to say how people should be pardoned. Governor Barbour did something else and the court agreed. And I am not trying to second guess that. But that is something that I am talking about. I come from a legislative back ground of making laws," Banks said.
Justice Waller has been on the court since 1996 and was among three dissenting votes on the pardon case.
He says his long record on the court should speak for itself.
"My record, over 15 years, I have got over 500 opinions. We have a good stable supreme court. I think our decision are predictable. I think the people have some assurance that their property and lives are secure," Waller said.
Judicial races in Mississippi is non-partisan and Waller says he thinks the race will stay non-political.
"I think judicial races should be more than other. I think the people is part of the confidence in government. We shouldn't get involved in mudslinging. I think my record speaks for itself and I stand on that," Waller said.
Three other Supreme Court seats are up for election this November.

Northeast Regional Carwash Convention exhibit space sold out
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — The Northeast Regional Carwash Convention exhibit space has sold out.
"We are thrilled to report that we have sold 260 booths, which is a record for this show," Al Villani, president of the Car Wash Operators of New Jersey said in a press release. "You are going to see a lot of new innovation and great products on our packed show floor, and get exceptional education at our seminars.
The convention is being held at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino Oct. 7 – 9.
On Tuesday the NRCC will be hosting a charity event at the Hard Rock Café to benefit Hometown Heroes.
"We wanted to give back to those affected by Hurricane Sandy," said Villani. "Some of our own operators are still waiting on funding and have not been able to get back into their homes, so our goal is to raise $10,000 to help them out."
The fundraiser is co-sponsored by the NRCC and Innovative Control Systems.
Admission tickets are still available.

Does anybody think any of the remaining games decide the national championship? OK, for you people, this just in: OJ did it. Oh, and it's cold in Moscow in January.
So yeah, here we are just where we were last year: USC puts the best team on the field in college football, the light bulb will go on over a few writers heads, and that's it. SOme galloping clodhopper team gets the crown. With one loose quarter against Oregon State-- another bowl winner, of course, about which you read here in August; the Pac 10 ran the bowl table this year, btw -- USC is denied the national title by the BCS rocket scientists again.
I loathe USC as much as the next guy-- probably more, actually, what with they're inexplicable cheeseball cheer for the memory-challenged ("We are -- SC!") and their famous Rubber Band ("Another score for the Trojans!") -- but you have to give Pete and their football program in general credit. A lot of it. Like the national championship.
I was glad to read that Barack favors a playoff. Can't he, like, order one by Presidential Decree for Jan. 21 or something? What? Yes I *know* we're a republic. C'mon, what good is being president if you can't mete out some frickin' Justice?

He Made, She Made: BFF Eraser-Jewel Chokers
This project has a few sources of inspiration. First off, I wanted to make some jewelry and I think it's fun to make something look fancy, even when it's not. Secondly, we're in back-to-school mod, so I wanted to use a school supply to create something fabulous. This necklace makes something new and adorable from those basic pink erasers we all know and love.
You'll need:
- Basic pink erasers (the type with the slanted sides)
- Shiny enamel paint or nail polish
- Leather or hemp string
- Wore or paper clips
- Tweezers
- Block of foam
1. Cut the erasers into pieces to make four or five gems. Cut them at angles to make irregular, angular shapes
2. Rub the eraser pieces against one another to smooth any rough edges.
3. Using wire or a straightened paper clip, poke a hole through whichever end of the eraser you choose as the gem's top. Keep the wire or paper clip inserted for now.
4. Paint the gems using nail polish or paints.
5. Stick the wire or paper clip into the foam block to allow the erasers to dry.
6. Make a loop from the wire or paper clip and trim the excess.
7. Thread the loops onto the leather or hemp string and tie in back to make a necklace.Check Out Courtney's Best Friend Charm.

I don't think the high school should be involved in advertising scholarships, or anything for that matter, on the basis of race. First of all it's against the law since they are accepting federal funds. Second, it find it personally offensive that some think that advertising a scholarship that excludes kids of certain race or nationality on a public high school website is OK. If a private group wants to offer scholarships to kids of certain color or nationality, that's OK, just not on the public school website. Keep it in the private sector and out of the public schools.

The topic has long been debatable. Is motor racing truly a sport and should race car drivers be considered athletes?
Wednesday in downtown Austin, Formula One star Mark Webber made a believer out of one of the world's top decathletes, Olympic silver medalist Trey Hardee. The two Red Bull sponsored athletes met each other for the first time, while Hardee taught Webber the basics of throwing the discus and sprinting out of the starting blocks.
"I was kind of impressed!", said Hardee. "I was thinking (the discus) was going to hit the cage or was going to just dud right in front of him, but those were throws! Those were legitimate throws!"
Webber listed cricket, swimming, and golf among the sports he grew up with in Australia. F1's fourth-ranked driver said he and his peers are "sportsmen in our own right", but that it's hard to demonstrate that from the seat of a race car. He also said F1 is truly excited to come to Austin, a city not necessarily known for its motor sports.
"We've had some new venues in the past few years, which probably - they've been great - but they probably haven't been as special as what we're gonna have this weekend in terms of the enthusiasm we're seeing, obviously the media here, everyone's very excited about it, they're embracing it, the city knows it's here - we're ready to go."

Which game stands out to you the most? Was it Soriano's game winning homer in Milwaukee? Or was it Reed Johnson's "The Catch II" to sit Prince Fielder down? Was it Ted Lilly's second 1-hit masterpiece on opening day? Did Alfonso Soriano's go-ahead homer vs. the Cardinals win you over? Or was it Aramis Ramirez hitting the walk-off shot the next day do it. Or was it something else???

Orphaned and IllegalBy Samih Güven for AGAPE Orphanage, Boarding House and Learning Center.

The aim of this project is to provide to AGAPE a photo reportage for fund raising and to raise awareness concerning the dramatic situation of refugee Burmese/Karen children in this remote region of Thailand. By showing the situation through a photo essay based on a long term documentary approach, my goal is to show that despite the critical human situation in the region and the lack of international support, AGAPE is one of the most efficient and seriously managed child care community based organization that operates in the region and considered by most of the local actors as a model for its efficiency and transparency.

Take The Plastic Challenge
So it's the end of the year and you may be setting your New Year's resolutions for 2011. You may be cutting out sweets, maybe reducing your caffeine, perhaps even quitting smoking. But one bad habit you may need to stop may be going unnoticed in your everyday life, and it may even be the most detrimental: plastic.
Have you ever noticed how much plastic you consume on a daily basis? It's the lid on that coffee you are getting to-go in the morning, it's part of almost any packaged item your purchase in the grocery store, and it even is what your chewing gum is made of (I'm not even kidding). In good circumstances, some plastics will take more than 20 years to break down. In less ideal circumstances (land fills or as general refuse), plastic refuse will take more than 1,000 years to degrade. And it's important to note that when plastics break down, they don't biodegrade, they photodegrade.This means the materials break down to smaller toxic fragments which contaminate soil, waterways, and animals upon digestion.
Enter Beth Terry, founder of the blog Fake Plastic Fish, and one of my personal heroes. Three years ago, a photo of an albatross chick changed Beth Terry's life. The bird's stomach had exploded from eating disposable plastic waste it foraged on land and sea. It was our everyday items -- toothbrushes, lighters, and bottlecaps are commonly found -- that were not only contaminating our environment, but destroying the life that depends on it. Beth decided to see if she could live a life without plastic. Her blog, Fake Plastic Fish, started as a diary of her attempts to find plastic alternatives, and has now become a resource for people trying to live a plastic-free life.
I know a lot of great environmental activists, and it is rare and special to find someone as dedicated to the cause as Beth. She goes to great lengths to educate people about the dangers of plastics, as well as where they are often hidden unbeknownst to most of us (cans of food are usually lined with plastic, as our shopping receipts). Now, she wants YOU to join her.
TAKE THE CHALLENGE! Collect your plastic waste (both recyclable and non) for one week or more. Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy? Find lots of other people's successes in cutting out plastic, as well as their trials and tribulations. Perhaps it will inspire you to change some habits in the coming year.

Geekfest: Sharing Code between Server and Client with Node.js
Sharing Code between Server and Client with Node.js by Chris Powers
One of the most exciting promises of building Web servers in JavaScript has been the notion of sharing JavaScript code between server and client -- no more duplication of application logic! Still, despite the meteoric rise in Node's popularity, we still have very few tools and examples of how to effectively share code between environments. The reason is simple -- sharing code is harder than it looks!
Chris Powers will be sharing some of the lessons he has learned about sharing code from working on his Drumkit.js framework. Come prepared to learn what works (and what doesn't) and start DRYing up your own code!
What is Geekfest?
Geekfest is a gathering of software development geeks every Tuesday at noon. It originally started at Obtiva back in 2007, and now it's at Groupon. Follow us on Twitter.

Those of you out there on the MHR must now dawn the day of the Quest and it official theme song. The quest is referring to the 2008 Denver Broncos season. Which it has been named by our very own creator TheSportsGuru. The Following past weeks on MHR radio a new feel was added to The Quest when Guru got me all fired up playing the Kenny Loggins song from the Movie Top Gun, "Highway To The Danger Zone".
Here is the link
Here is also another link to the other pumped up song from Top Gun
This very song was appointed the official song of the 2008 Denver Broncos Season to go along with the Quest.
I usually don't write long stories on the site but i do love to make comments on the great stories on here. Occasionally i will post something from time to time like i am doing now.
But as for The Quest
In this quest one must ask himself do we have the character and ability on this team to take us where we all want us to go........Tampa!!!!!
That i say to you is up only to the players and coaches of this team. With some help from the football gods.
In the long gruling painful season that is the NFL do we find ourselves within a playoff birth. Do we find the heart and soul to bring eachother together for that very split second moment of greatness thats say "hey this team is not all bad and maybe, just maybe has an outside chance of greatness."
The dictionary defines a Quest as-a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something. But just what are we obtaining to find, a wildcard, an afc west title, an Afc Conference championship, or best of yet a Super Bowl Victory!!!! Which is like finding buried treasure for Indiana Jones.
Along the way of a Quest one will find heart breaks and losses and in BMarshes case maybe a suspension. But one must not endure the loss and find it within eachother to have the heart to come together as one to keep the Quest moving forward to its ultimate goal.
I for one believe that along the quest we will see losses, victories, but most importantly Denver Broncos football. The roar of the 70,000 plus at Mile High cheering for the Touchdown pass by Jay or the last second field goal by an unknown kicker. The INT by Bailey and Bly, Sacks from Dum and Moss, Hard hits by DJ, lynch and co. But most importanly a team that comes together to prove they are not the scrappy untalented bunch most see them to be. Most will predict them to fail, But within this team i see a greater good of a team that will not give up and keep fighting until that clock runs out and the crowd cheers them as victors or maybe in the end even champions.

The Bottom Line
Adrian Goldsworthy's Antony and Cleopatra (2010) will satisfy those who can't get enough of the Egyptian queen. It is also worth reading by those interested in the period between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire because it presents information that isn't readily available: The analysis is thorough and in-depth, but still eminently readable, like others by Goldsworthy. For people who enjoy the romantic myth of Antony and Cleopatra, this look at the pair may be a bit disillusioning.

Guide Review: Adrian Goldsworthy's Antony and Cleopatra
In Goldsworthy's Antony and Cleopatra, the romantic suicidal pair are put under a microscope to see what actual evidence there is for their most popular reputations. Clearly, the pair enjoyed the extravagant food and drink required for a reputation for good living, but was Antony really a brave general and Cleopatra either a seductress or a political dynamo?
Goldsworthy, author of How Rome Fell, Caesar Life of a Colossus, and Roman Warfare, among others, shows that even if Cleopatra were politically astute, she didn't matter: she just wasn't that important to Rome. She may not have been a particularly loving mother, but instead have feared her own son would remove her from power. Mark Antony, who did eventually learn the basics of a battlefield, was a bit of a spoiled brat, relying on family connections, winning drinking bouts and avoiding political service. His actions were always self-centered and never with thought of the good of Rome put first.
- Goldsworthy brings lay readers up to speed on Roman history.
- He tells the history of Cleopatra's family, the Ptolemies. The family became entrenched as well as it did because of the longevity of the first 3 monarchs. Later Ptolemies lived shorter lives and gradually lost the power that had been handed down.
- Goldsworthy tells the story of the murder of Caesar and its aftermath, including Antony's cowering at home for fear he would be next.
- Conflict between Antony and Octavian became inevitable in the nearly lawless period that followed the Ides of March assassination.
- The triumvirate of Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus wasn't an equal 3-way partnership. Octavian took more than he gave, but Antony was learning to be a soldier. Unfortunately, he didn't fare too well in the East.
- Antony took solace in Cleopatra, who, in turn, secured power by her alliance with him.
- Meanwhile, political leaders in Rome continued to bend the laws. Propaganda put Antony in the defensive by 32 B.C.
- Never a great commander, Antony lost the battle of Actium.
- Following defeat, Antony committed suicide, and then, so did Cleopatra, perhaps with great theater. Octavian may have turned a blind eye since not only was Cleopatra just not that important, but she may have been too much trouble.
- Although Cleopatra's first son, Caesarion, was killed, Mark Antony's children survived to be used as political pawns in marriages. The Emperor Caligula was a descendant.
The 470-page Antony and Cleopatra has an excellent glossary, chronology, and family trees.

Pictures and video from 90 years of the LSA – Please help!
The 90th LSA Anniversary Celebration at the Annual Meeting in Minneapolis January 2-5, 2014, will include an audio-visual preentation, which you can drop by and view between sessions. How interesting and extensive this show will be depends on you.
We have collected some pictures and video of LSA linguists and linguistic events (e.g., past institutes, summer and annual meetings, etc….) but would very much welcome more. It would be especially nice, of course, to have visual documentation of linguists and their activities from long ago, but it will also be good to have more recent material as well. As a part of the video, we will feature several pictures of linguists whose identities you can guess and be eligible to win a prize. So remember to share with us any pictures that you think might be especially interesting for this purpose (and if we choose your contribution you will already have one right answer for the quiz).
Please send what you can in digital format with identifying information (names and at least approximate dates) as soon as possible but not later than September 1, 2013. You may send these materials to firstname.lastname@example.com, but if the materials are too large or if you cannot provide a digital format, please get in touch with us at the same address, and we will make other arrangements.

Monday's good news spread fast throughout the Tampa Bay area.
"We got a massive quantity of email yesterday when somebody had announced that there had been a delay," Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce president Robin Sollie confirmed Tuesday. "We immediately notified our members that there is a proposed delay" (in soaring flood insurance rates.)
Tuesday delivered on Monday's promise: Identical relief legislation introduced in both houses and Congress with bipartisan co-sponsorship.
Proposed, new risk-rated premiums mandated by Congress in 2012 would be put on hold for up to four years for many properties.
The intention in 2012 was to make the National Flood Insurance Program pay for itself. The unintentional consequences in 2013 are devastating.
"(Our flood premium) would go from $800 a year to $8,500 a year -- that's a lot of money," said David Lockhart, who owns two houses and a real estate agency in St. Pete Beach.
His spouse and business partner addressed the real estate impacts.
"We were seeing price increases, every home was selling for a little bit more than the last, everything was moving, people could finally get out of their homes," Wendy Lockhart recalled. "And then when the flood insurance hit here on the beaches, it just pretty much came to a standstill."
The new rates hit tens of thousands of homes in the Bay area, because this area largely developed before flood insurance rate maps came into existence in the mid-1970's.
For decades, those structures paid artificially low premiums that did not reflect the true risk of flooding.
When Congress mandated a new business strategy, there were no proposed rates to consider. Those real world figures were not published for the Southeastern United States until this past August.
The new rates were retroactive to policies written after the Congressional action in July 2012.
Penny Lee closed on her home October 1, 2012, and saw her rates soar October 1, 2013.
"I'm paying more in flood insurance alone than I (pay) for my mortgage," Lee said Tuesday.
Her take on possible Congressional relief now?
"I don't know what's going to happen now," Lee said. "It's going to be escrowed in my mortgage, and I don't know. I hope that I'll get a credit -- one can only hope."

The military intervention by the Western-led coalition force in Libya's civil war is out of tune with the relevant UN Security Council resolution, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.
"We believe that the coalition's intervention in the civil war [in Libya] has not, essentially, been sanctioned by the UN Security Council resolution," said, adding its only purpose "is to ensure the protection of the civilian population."
"This resolution contains no other goals," he said.
Russia abstained from the Security Council vote.
On Sunday, NATO began taking command of all aerial operations in Libya from the US-led force. The transfer of authority will take up to three days.
Russia abstained from a UN Security Council resolution adopted on March 17 imposing a no-fly zone over Libya and measures to protect civilians from Gaddafi's forces.
Western-led military strikes against Gaddafi, whose forces have been attacking rebels in the
east of the North African country since mid-February, began last Saturday.
Libyan television has reported that at least 100 civilians have been killed and over 150 wounded in the strikes and that many health and education facilities have been destroyed. Coalition commanders deny this.

This is a really touchy subject.
Of course we're all saddened to hear the news of The Father of Destruction's death, but something occurred to me right away... Could CM Punk use this in his gimmick?
Now, I know some people would feel that the 'W' using this as leverage for an angle is disrespectful. BUT, I have to point something out: Half of The WWE Universe loves CM Punk. They have done EVERYTHING to get his heel gimmick over with that half.
This could do it.
On top of that, the story right now is, " I'm gonna kick your ass... No, I'm Gonna kick YOUR ass." Imagine instead, if Punk came out and said, " You people truly are morons. Do you think The Undertaker has his streak because of some magic power? Well, I've got news for ya -- All you people fell for Paul Bearer being immortal -- And guess what? Just like 'Takers streak, he`s DEAD!"
That sounds really shocking.
Its supposed to.
I mean, he made fun of Jeryy Lawler's heart attack. And lets not forget Batista's famous "Eddie's dead, Rey" line. And think about it... Mr. Pringle himself, was an entertainer. I think he would want to be able to contribute, even after his death.
Am I the only one who thought this? Is it over the line? What do you guys think?

Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim started to produce comic videos as film majors. After graduation and a disappointing period in Hollywood, they came back to Philadelphia to make money. Refusing to give up, they continued working on their short movies and in 2002 released TimandEric.com. The site hosted many of their underground, micro-budget productions.
It was a DVD sent to the right person, Bob Odenkirk, a writer-producer, that put them on a plane back to Hollywood, this time to produce their own content.
After successful seasons of their web series, Heidecker and Wareheim formed Abso Lutely to keep artistic control over their productions, including "The Eric and Eric Show" (Adult Swim), "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" (featuring Jeff Goldblum and Odenkirk), and Comedy Central's "Nathan for You," starring Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder.

On the evening of June 22, a 3-month-old puppy was kicked and thrown from the roof of a one-story home in San Diego. Radiographs taken during a veterinary examination of the dog, a German shepherd /Chow Chow mix named "Almond," showed multiple fractures of the hips and ribs consistent with blunt trauma. They also showed previously healed fractures, indicating that the dog had been abused before.
Animal Control Officers also rescued a second puppy that was found on the property. Radiographs of the second puppy, named "Joy," also showed previously healed fractures.
Animal Control Officers arrested 22-year-old Edgar Rodriguez at the conclusion of their investigation. Rodriguez pled guilty to one count of felony animal abuse on August 4 and his sentencing is scheduled for September 15.
Today, Almond is a happy puppy on his way to recovery and waiting for his forever home. Due to his injuries, Almond underwent extensive orthopedic surgery and requires physical therapy, which he is currently receiving at the Cutting Edge K9 Rehabilitation Center.

Fifteen year old Trent Kibort has autism. But he doesn't let it get in the way of his love for bowling. His enthusiasm brought him to the state level Special Olympics.
As a student at the Easter Seals Autism Therapeutic School, Trent is used to receiving lots of support. But today is extra special.
Trent's teachers and peers cheer him on at a pep rally, and display signs they made for him.
At 9 a.m. Saturday morning, Trent will bowl alongside other kids his age at the Special Olympics, held in Peoria.
Trent has been bowling for four years, but this is the first year he's competed.
His coach, Kevin Thomas, says "Trent always excels, he has so much potential and to be a great athlete, and when it comes to the special Olympics, he know's what he's doing when it comes to the special Olympics."
Coach Kevin has high expectations for the tournament. "He has a great score average of 90 to 95."
He says winning isn't everything. "But it's just important that Trent have fun and that's what it's about, the sportsmanship of it. But we would like to win, and we have faith in that he's gonna win."
This is not the first time Trent has gone to the Special Olympics. "He's actually participated in the state level also in athletics, the 50 meter run and also the tennis ball throw, so he's been to state before and this is nothing new to him," said Thomas.
Trent will also be bringing a brand new bowling ball, bag, and shoes with hi, thanks to a grant from the Rockford Health System.

Fiscal Restraint and the Political Economy of EMU
AbstractWhile the principle of delegation has become well established on the national level for monetary policy, fiscal policies remain in the hands of policymakers depending on rent-seeking interest groups. The authors argue that the Maastricht Treaty provides a unique international commitment that enables governments to follow restrictive fiscal policies by attributing their negative side effects to Europe and to implement austerity measures despite rising unemployment or a decline in growth. Hence, the popularity of the European idea is instrumented to enforce fiscal discipline. The paper outlines the political economy framework and presents new econometric evidence.

Iran condemned on Thursday as "organized terrorism" an offensive by Israel against Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.
"Iran considers the criminal act of Israeli military forces in killing civilians as organized terrorism and strongly condemns it," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
The spokesman also criticized what he called "the silence of international organizations claiming to defend human rights," following the strikes.
Iran's condemnation followed a statement by Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime on Wednesday denouncing Israeli "atrocities" in Gaza.
"The Syrian government condemns the heinous atrocities committed by the enemy Israeli army against the Arab Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," AFP quoted a statement carried by the official Syrian news agency SANA as saying.
Assad concluded by urging the international community to "pressure Israel to stop the sinful aggression on our people in the defiant Gaza Strip."
Meanwhile, Lebanese President Michel Sleiman on Thursday also condemned as "barbaric" Israel's ongoing operation in Gaza, according to Lebanon's Daily Star.
"The open war against Gaza, which Israel started with barbaric aggression, is not unusual for Israeli policy that only uses the language of killing and destruction," Sleiman reportedly said in a statement.
"It is about time for the enemy to realize that the aggression policy has been proven futile," Sleiman added.
Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri also weighed in, saying "Israel's renewed attacks against Gaza prove the aggressive policy adopted by Israel against Palestinians and Arabs in general.
"Israel insists on keeping control over Palestinian territories and preventing all attempts to establish an independent Palestinian State," he said.
