There is no benefit to creating a section that will sport mediocre traffic and decrease traffic in two other sections that perform fairly. I may have suggested that general gaming section be created in the past but I was incorrect in that assumption because I did not have a proper handle on the forum's traffic patterns.
In the unlikely event that someone misses a chance to post in a topic in the PC Games section of the forum because they dislike PC games then it's their loss. The forum has a search function to cater to those who do not know where a topic may be, my suggestion would be that more people start using it. If you're truly racking your brain and do not know where to post something than take Cobra's suggestion, put the topic in Everything Else, the topic will then be moved to an appropriate section.
The main issue with running a forum (Maybe you know this) is to strike a balance between having enough places to discuss everything that your members want to discuss and making sure that you do not overwhelm your user base with options. If there are too few places to discuss things then new topics will be left without a home and your members will go somewhere else. Too many choices and the forum is spread out and prone to mass stagnation. This forum has found a good balance in that you can post about any topic you want (It may not fit perfectly but you just need to suck it up) and having enough people and enough 'regulars' in a given section to reply in a timely fashion.Seeing as each of the two existing sections do okay, it can be assumed that something will have to give if another gaming section is created. A tipping point will be reached that will either a) result in three sparsely used forums that will stagnate or b) leave us with a general gaming forum that gets very few posts and is more or less seen as a waste of space.
In response to your latest post, Sub (It just showed up as I was about to post) I will say this: While I think the world of the Gaming Steve forums, we are not GameSpot or 1up and do not have the numbers that they do. Perhaps in the future if we have more members a general gaming forum can work, but right now we don't have enough bodies to fill the theater.
I don't know....a general gaming area would also be a good place for topics on games that are for both PC and consoles such as the orange box and assassins creed.

But wouldn't it be better if those two did suffer to some extent?. I was just thinking while there may not be as much traffic in PC games, Console Games, or General Games it would just be more tidy and every topic would have a place to go.

WASHINGTON (AP) Emeka Okafor had 15 points and 16 rebounds, helping the surging Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 86-73 on Saturday night.
John Wall and Nene each scored 16 points for Washington, which has won consecutive games for the second time this season. The Wizards have won five straight at home for the first time in five years, and seven of 10 overall.
It's a marked improvement from the start of the season, when Washington (11-31) dropped 28 of its first 32 games.
Chicago had won a season-high three in a row for the third time.
Nate Robinson scored 19 points for the Bulls, and Joakim Noah narrowly missed a triple-double with nine points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists, which equaled his career high.
The Wizards outscored Chicago 23-11 in the third quarter to take a 73-55 lead. The 11 points were a season low for the Bulls. Chicago had twice as many turnovers (six) as field goals (three) in the period.
The Wizards put together an 11-0 run late in the second quarter, holding the Bulls scoreless for nearly five minutes while building a 50-44 halftime lead.
Washington outscored Chicago 10-2 to start the third and led 60-46 with 8:58 to play. Nene hit two more field goals and two free throws as the Wizards extended the lead to 69-51 with 4:28 left in the third.
NOTES: Within a minute in the third quarter, Bulls F Carlos Boozer was charged with a flagrant foul for elbowing Okafor and a technical foul. ... Chicago F Luol Deng missed his fifth straight game with a strained right hamstring. He warmed up before the game. ... The game was a sellout - the third of the season for Washington. ... The Wizards trailed after the first quarter for the first time in their last eight home games.

I am still a little confused with how they came up with this and it seems a little sketchy if you ask me. Here is the article and let me know what you guys think. I will be revising this post when I do more research on Isaac Newtons calcuations for end times.
Isaac Newton. Image taken from Wikipedia
Article taken from worldnetdaily.com
In "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012," by David Flynn, a book that has skyrocketed up the best-seller charts following its release this month, the author makes a correction to Isaac Newton's research, pointing to the year 2013 as "the time of the end."
In 2003, the Daily Telegraph in London published a front-page story declaring that, according to Isaac Newton, the world would end in 2060. This was the first time that this calculation of Newton became widely known. However, various biographers and researcher of Newton's theology had encountered it since 1991 when most of his manuscripts were released on microfilm at the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem.
According to Flynn, in the 1660s when Newton believed that the end of days was imminent, there seemed no reason to work out the approximate year in which it would occur. With the Great Plague, the fire of London and the apocalyptic fervor of the times, it seemed obvious to Newton that the end time had already arrived. But over the ensuing decades of his life, Newton became increasingly aware that his convictions had been premature. Near the year 1705, when Newton was in his sixties, his concern for preventing the repetition of the same error compelled him to invest his considerable knowledge to setting the matter of the time of the end to rest. The paper in which Newton recorded this calculation was the subject of the article in the London Daily Telegraph in 2003. Very few readers understood Newton's reasoning for the date, not being scholars of end time prophecy themselves. Newton wrote concerning it:
This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breastNewton arrived at the year 2060 in a straightforward manner. He believed that the last world empire at the coming of the Antichrist would be a revived Roman Empire, a concept wholly embraced by eschatologists in modern times as well. He also believed that this had actually occurred in A.D. 800 through the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III as ruler of the revived Roman Empire in the West.
As described by the prophet Daniel, and John in Revelation, the revived Roman Empire will rule for one "week," a period of seven times 360 days, or 2,520 days total. In the midst of this week, at 1,260 days, the Antichrist will desecrate the future temple in Jerusalem. Following the day/year guideline, Newton assigned 1,260 years of the Revived Roman empire before Antichrist's desecration of the temple. This he did realizing that the rebuilding of the temple and the judgments of Revelation did not follow the rebirth of the Roman Empire in A.D. 800. None of the prophecies of the End of Days followed the coronation of Charlemagne as Emperor of the revived Roman Empire after 1,260, nor for that matter, any of the years up until Newton's day. Therefore, he established each day with a year from A.D. 800, arriving at the year A.D. 2060.
In a manuscript number 7.3g, f. 13v. of the Yahuda collection, Newton was even more specific about the 2060 date.
So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, reckoning twelve months to a year & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of lived [sic for "long lived"] kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060.But Newton's prediction of Charlemagne's revived Roman Empire starting in A.D. 800 and existing until the return of Christ was contradicted in 1806 when Napoleon forced the Empire's dissolution.
"But," says Flynn, "there remains a valid aspect of Newton's calculation. There is reason to believe he was correct in his assumption that there would be 1,260 years until the return of Christ at the rebirth of the Roman Empire, but that the year he chose was incorrect. There is actually a better date based on the founding of Rome and the methodology of Daniel's prophecy."
Flynn explains: "The Romans had fixed the birth of the city of Rome and the Empire in 753 B.C. It was believed that the patriarch of the city, Romulus, had marked out the boundaries for the wall of Rome in this year. Known as Ab Urbe Condita (literally, from the founding of the city) the Roman calendar began with 753 B.C. according to the dating of Marcus Terentius Varro (116–27 B.C.) who lived at the time of the Empire itself.
Because of how the prophet Daniel divided the prophetic week in half, Flynn believes the original founding date for the empire of the prophecy, Rome, would follow this pattern and be bisected. Therefore, correcting Newton's date, the year 753 B.C. designates the founding of the physical Rome while A.D. 753 establishes the rebirth of spiritual Rome. Counting 1,260 years forward from A.D. 753, one arrives at the year 2013.
Additional significance can be attached to this finding when considering that 2013 follows the end of the great cycle of the Maya calendar and the planetary cycle of the Aztec calendar, which concludes Dec. 21, 2012. This date has raised apocalyptic fears in corners around the world. According to "The Bible Code," the world will end on this date due to a collision with a meteor, asteroid, or comet. Another theory – the "Novelty Theory" – claims time itself is a "fractal wave," which will end abruptly in 2012. Even the popular television program X-Files speculated that colonization of the earth by "aliens" would occur in December 2012.
The Maya themselves describe past visits of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, descending through a "hole in the sky" on a rope ladder. They believe at the end of 2012 the serpent rope will emerge again from the center of the Milky Way, and Quetzalcoatl will return, heralding a new era at the start of 2013. Another version of the story has Quetzalcoatl sailing down on a winged ship, causing some to speculate that a UFO armada or "mother ship" could descend and take up position over earth on that date.
Besides this type of speculation, an unusual number of important events will occur beginning in 2012. NASA is predicting the next Solar Maximum will arrive in 2012 and will be the strongest in 50 years. At the same time, the sun will align with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in 26,000 years, on the exact date of the end of the Mayan calendar, Dec. 21, 2012. This will also be the year when the United States and the United Nations elect a new president and a new secretary general, considered by some to be the two most powerful "thrones" on earth, and the seat from which prophecy experts say the Antichrist will rule or receive power.
On a YouTube video here, well-known preacher Jack Van Impe says that the year 2012 and the end of the Mayan Calendar could mark the return of Jesus Christ.
Based on his research into the Jewish Feasts, Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries (as laid out in a series of two DVD teachings produced by WND Videos called "The Feasts of the Lord") believes this time frame between 2012-2015 could be prophetic and may signal the return of Christ. He says for people who believe in a "pre-tribulation rapture," this would make the year 2008 very important. For those who believe in a mid-tribulation rapture, 2012 may mark their departure. And on his website, he adds "if you're prewrath, then 2014 might be interesting [and] if you're a posttribber, 2015 is the date to watch for."

|Head Coach
|30th Season
|First Season:
|Alma Mater:
|Hofstra '78 / UNC / Hofstra
In 2020, Tom Gill will enter his 30th season as the head coach of the lacrosse program at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Since his arrival at Kings Point, he has led the program to seven conference championships, eight ECAC Metro NY/NJ Championship appearances, six consecutive Maritime Tournament crowns between 1994 and 1999 and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Academy named him the recipient of the Coach Omeltchenko Coach-of-the-Year Award in 1998, 2007 and 2017. Gill has also coached a total of five All-Americans and two NCAA statistical champions while at the academy.
In his 26 seasons at Merchant Marine, Gill has guided the Mariners to a record of 190-180 (.514) while his overall NCAA coaching ledger stands at 235-213 (.525).
After the 2013 season, Gill was named the Landmark Conference Coach of the Year after guiding the Mariners to the #4 seed in the Landmark Tournament. The Mariners won their first-round matchup at #1-seed Goucher, 6-5, to advance to the Championship Game, where the fell to #3-seed Susquehanna, 6-3.
In 2012 Gill earned his 200th overall win as a head coach in a 13-7 victory against industry rival Maritime College.
Gill led the Mariners to their best season in school history in the spring of 2007. The program set a school record for winning 13 games and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament after winning the Skyline Conference Tournament, 12-11, over then-No. 15 nationally-ranked Stevens Tech. The Ducks' loss to the Mariners snapped their 58-game winning streak against conference opponents which dated back to 2000. For his efforts, he was named the Skyline Coach of the Year and the recipient of the academy's Coach-of-the-Year award.
Prior to arriving at Kings Point, Gill coached the Devils of Farleigh Dickinson University-Florham from 1984-88, where he was 45-33 in five seasons and won an ECAC Championship. He has also served as an assistant coach at Cornell, Duke, and Hofstra.
Gill serves on various championship and governing bodies in the college game. He is on the board of the NCAA Division-III Lacrosse Championship, All-America Selection and Regional Advisory Committees. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Foundation, the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Rules Committee and the ECAC Board of the USILA.
He has also been heavily involved with the game at the international level as a coach and a player. Gill served as an assistant coach for the Irish National Team that competed at the World Championships in Perth, Australia. He played professionally for the New York Saints, served as an alternate in the 1982 World Games and was selected to compete as a member of Team USA in 1994, 1996 and 2001. Furthermore, Gill coached numerous clinics in Argentina, Australia, and Ireland.
Gill earned his bachelor's degree at Hostra University in 1978 and was also a four-year letterwinner with its men's lacrosse program. He earned his master's degree in education administration from the University of North Carolina and has subsequently earned a second master's in education at Hofstra as well as his school supervisory certificate.
Gill currently resides in Levittown, New York with his wife, Eileen, and son, Brian.

Subscribe To Joyful Noise Trailer Features Dolly Parton Covering Chris Brown Song Updates
I've already subscribed
If you're a sucker for unlikely covers or underdog stories involving music, you'll want to check out this trailer for the upcoming film Joyful Noise. The film stars Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton as two women who work together to save a small town Gospel Choir from being shut down. Musical magic is likely to ensue when these two begin to butt heads.
In what is likely to be one of those feel-good movies that stands a good chance of causing overly emotional people like myself to tear up uncontrollably during the musical climax, Joyful Noise has two good things going for it from the start; Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton. It isn't exactly difficult to picture the two musicians/women in roles that require them to be a balance of bossy and likable. That appears to be what they're going for in Joyful Noise. The trailer, originally posted at Apple.com doesn't hold back on the plot, and also includes a fair amount of samplings of the music featured in the film, including covers of Man in the MIrror and a Parton-sung version of Chris Brown's Forever.
I especially love Parton and Latifah's banter about plastic surgery. The struggling Choir's religious affiliation added to covers of popular songs gives the film a sort of Sister Act feel. While that might take some of the originality out of the story, this one looks like fun, especially for those who love films with a lot of music.
Joyful Noise is set to hit theaters this January.

RNC steps up voter outreach
After a big push Saturday, the Republican National Committee says its volunteers will have knocked on 2.5 million doors and contacted voters more than 20 million times this cycle.
This is the RNC's third monthly "Super Saturday" to mobilize the grassroots and refine the GOP's get-out-the-vote infrastructure.
Story Continued Below
Sixty days before the election, coming out of the conventions, Republicans are eager to demonstrate they can match the vaunted field operation of President Barack Obama's campaign and compete in the ground game.
The RNC has 282 "Victory Centers" and 620 staffers spread across the battleground states.
"Quite frankly, we are just rocking it all over the place," RNC political director Rick Wiley told POLITICO. "I'll put my team against their team any day."
Nationally the RNC reports knocking on 16 times more doors and making eight times more phone calls than at this point in 2008. This weekend they expect to surpass their entire volunteer voter contact totals from 2004.
Volunteers will gather in about 25 states this weekend. This includes 11 presidential battlegrounds, places with competitive Senate races like Montana and North Dakota and non-competitive states with so-called "orphan" House districts that are in play.
Party officials point to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's victory in June's recall election as evidence that the GOP can win the mobilization war.
"With the barrage of advertising that's been put up out there, to find ourselves in this position with two months to go…when you're tied or within a point or two going into voting, a strong ground organization can win things for you," said Wiley.
The RNC crossed the 10 millionth volunteer "voter contact" on their last Super Saturday at the start of August. They've made about 10 million more contacts in the last month.
In key states like Ohio and Iowa, voters can cast absentee ballots this month. Some North Carolinians will receive absentee ballots in the mail as early as Friday. Volunteers can help make sure that likely Republicans send them in.
While a majority of the RNC's outreach to voters will still be on the phone, they plan to knock on more than 10 million doors by Election Day.
There's been a renewed emphasis on door-knocking at the RNC this cycle. As more people ditch landlines and use cell phones, only about half the names in their voter file have a reliable phone number linked to them. And with fewer reliable phone numbers, it takes more dials to get a person on the phone. Studies also show door knocking is more effective at increasing turnout and recruiting volunteers than phone calls or mailers.
The RNC coordinates closely with Mitt Romney's campaign. The RNC has a victory director in every battleground state, and the Romney campaign has a state director. In every targeted state, the two work in the same office.

Hebert kicks Darien into state semifinals
DARIEN -- With time ticking away and the Darien offense moving down the field in the closing moments of the Class L quarterfinals against Hand, kicker Daly Hebert was preparing the same way he did every time the Blue Wave had the ball this season.
Then, with 5 seconds showing on the clock at Brien McMahon's Jack Casagrande Field, Hebert jogged onto the field with his team down 29-28.
The snap and hold were clean and as the defense dove toward him, Hebert calmly knocked home the 18-yard field goal, sending the Wave to the state semifinals.
As the offense got deeper into Tigers territory, Hebert's focus became sharper while he kept his routine the same.
"I'm trying to focus in on the moment and not letting outside things affect me," Hebert said. "(The preparation) has to stay the same. You can't get too high, you can't get too low. You have to have that nice consistency and I think that is what we emphasize as a team."
The senior Hebert has been the model of consistency this season, converting 9 of 14 field goals and 42 of 49 PATs.
Hebert was a perfect 3 for 3 against Hand, including the game winner as time expired.
Coach Rob Trifone said that knowing they had Hebert in his back pocket late in the game allowed the Wave to be more conservative with play calling down the stretch and took pressure off the offense, knowing they did not have to score a touchdown.
"This time of year, he's the difference," Trifone said. "When we were driving Tuesday I kept saying to the guys on the headphones `we don't have to get 7.' I didn't want to risk a sack or pick inside the 20. It takes a lot of pressure off the offense."
Hebert banged home the kick but he was certainly not alone on the play as long snapper Jay Harrison and holder Kyle Gifford both had to perform their roles for Hebert to have his moment in the sun.
"They are the most crucial thing," Hebert said. "A consistent snap makes it a lot easier and allows me to time it up and a solid holder is the most valuable thing. The laces always got to be out."
Kickers usually aren't known for hitting the weight room hard, but that is precisely what Hebert did in the summer to improve, transforming himself into one of the state's best place kickers.
Hebert says the secret to consistent kicking is practicing over and over until the motions become second nature.
"I put in a ton of work in the offseason," Hebert said. "I thought I had the potential to be a lot better than I was so I put in a lot of time in the weight room and a lot of extra time on the field. Especially in the summer I tried to make every day a work day. A lot of it is repetition, that's mainly what kicking is. Being able to break down everything into smaller bits so you can focus on mechanics."
Darien may once again need to call on Hebert as they head into the Class L semifinal against No. 4 Middletown Saturday at 2 p.m. at Pomperaug High School.
If it feels like the Blue Wave have been in the playoffs for a month it is because they played the two other semifinalists (North Haven and New Canaan) to close out the season before facing Hand Tuesday.
Trifone said his players are physically tired but mentality prepared for another game against the state's best competition.
"This is the most resilient team I've ever coached," Trifone said. "They are tough kids. They are emotionally and physically spent right now but they also know what's at stake. The physical part is harder on the kids and the mental part is harder on the coaches because we have to prep."
Middletown is led by Gatorade Player of the Year Dario Highsmith at quarterback and defensive back.
Highsmith rushed for 2,565 yards and 27 touchdowns this season while passing for 895 yards and 9 touchdowns. As a defensive back, Highsmith has 39 tackles and four interceptions.
The Blue Dragons are a run first team, mixing up formations to help disguise where the play is going. They will run read option, using a spread formation one play and jumbo package the next, making defensive planning no easy task.
"It's everything," Trifone said. "They have a jumbo, North Haven look, they have another with nine linemen. They try to present it differently but they run the same thing. They are a complicated to team to get ready for in terms of their formations but not their schemes."

Filming UpdateFilming continued on the series yesterday with work progressing in studio with the Dalek opener, generating banter between Steven Moffat and Arthur Darvill on Twitter. SM:"After extensive deliberation, THE DOCTOR HAS SPOKEN. Matt Smith likes the sixties Dalek best.«" - SM:"This just in: Amy Pond concurs. The Last Centurian has yet to speak.«" - AD:"I could tweet several incriminating pictures of my favourites but I feel they may be. . . How do you say? . . . Spoilers?«". Moffat then released a photo illustrating the object of their discussion ...
John Sheppard, part of the FX crew, also commented on proceedings: "Job Saturday, watching Dr Who's Daleks explode at the Dr Who studios Wales. Working with Real SFX.« Call time confirmed 08.00 at the Dr Who studios, for Dalek explosions. Looking forward to this one, big fan of the Daleks.« Dr Who set looking good, plenty of Dalek mayhem, Dalek FX explosion went very well, just.« Working late on Dr Who tonight, it was interesting to see all original Daleks since 1960 in one episode.« The gun area of the Dalek just missed me, whilst it flew past burning!«"
Sheppard also said: "Made it onto Dr Who Confidential, SFX and me talking about the Dalek explosion. Which really did go Boooooom!!«"; he later corrected himself, saying: "just a small correction, Confidential was cancelled, I'm led to believe, but it's the same people who continue to film.«" - this last comment lends credence to a recent article in The Star in which it stated that there would be an online version of the behind-the-scenes show this series.
Media CoverageJenna-Louise Coleman visited the Doctor Who studios last week, and said: "There were scenes built from all around the world. So I'm looking forward to going on all these big adventures. I think Ancient Rome would be great – to play Cleopatra would be good fun. Hopefully it'll happen. There's no limit to what they do with the stories and where in time we can go. I'm excited to see where we go time travel-wise.". Talking about her future co-star, Matt Smith, she said: He's so full of energy which is infectious. Me joining him will be a new dynamic for the show and we'll be working hard to make that work." [The Star, 1 Apr 2012]
Ben Browder did a Q&A at the Australian OzComicCon Convention, during which he briefly mentioned his role in episode three: "I've just got back from the UK and Spain where I just did an episode of Doctor Who. I got the offer right in the middle of pilot season and my agent goes 'well you know you're going to miss some very big casting' and I went 'it's Doctor Who!' It was a very exciting moment, I got to work with the Doctor, I got to hold his hand. I have seen the inside of the TARDIS. I play a marshall in the 1870s." [full Q&A via YouTube, 31 Mar 2012]

We've given you our 10 Essential Spices -- now, with the help of Lior Lev Sercaz of La Boite à Epices (check out our great deal on his spice blends in the Food52 Shop!), we've assembled some tips for storing, grinding, and handling your new spice collection:
Buy in quantities you know you will use.
According to Lior, you can buy your spices whole or ground, depending on the frequency with which you use them. Whole spices will last longer than ground.
Find the right source.
Since a little spice can go a long way, make sure to buy quality products; they're worth the investment.
Store your spices in airtight containers.
No need to put them in the fridge or the freezer -- the pantry is just fine.
Use a coffee grinder to grind your spices.
While Lior says a mortar and pestle can be "poetic," a simple coffee grinder is easy to use, easy to maintain, and you don't need biceps of steel.
Be careful when toasting your spices.
Never toast ground spices; they burn more easily than whole spices. Lior recommends toasting whole spices in an oven, keeping a close eye (and nose!) on them. There's nothing wrong with toasting spices to keep for later -- just make sure they're stored correctly.

Congratulations are in order for TNA as tonight marks the company's 200th episode of Impact. This evening's show will be capped off with a huge tag team main event, as Mick Foley teams with Bobby Lashley to take on Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash for Mafia gold. Plus the IWGP tag titles are up for grabs as Team 3D does battle with The British Invasion in a Tables match, while Hernandez wages war against Samoa Joe. All this and more on the 200th edition of Impact.
The show began with a special opening video that highlighted the company's history.
Mike Tenay and Don West did their usual welcome, as The Main Event Mafia made their way into the Impact Zone.
As The Main Event Mafia entered the ring, Kurt Angle grabbed the mic and talked about how Bobby Lashley took liberties last week and tried to make a name for himself off the Mafia. Angle said that he and Lashley had an agreement and that Lashley was supposed to join them, but instead, he took matters into his own hands. This brought out Lashley, who admitted that he did want to join the Mafia, but said that he changed his mind because they weren't hungry anymore. Lashley talked about wanting to win titles and said he couldn't do that if he was in the Mafia. He went on to say that he couldn't be bought like Taz and Samoa Joe. He also mentioned that he had an offer for the Mafia that they couldn't refuse, which brought out Mick Foley. Foley talked about the ratings and said that was why he was making the challenge for later on where he and Lashley would team up to take on Angle and Kevin Nash for their two titles. Whoever gets pinned or made to submit would lose their belt to the person who beat them. Angle stared back at Lashley and Foley and accepted the challenge. Great main event for the 200th episode.
Mike Tenay and Don West then ran down the card for the show.
Hernandez made his entrance and after a commercial break, the first match of the episode was ready to get going.
Match One - Hernandez vs. Samoa Joe w/ Taz
This was a good back and forth match. Samoa Joe went for a superplex on Hernandez, only to get shoved down to the mat and hit with a big splash off the top rope to give Hernandez the win. Wow, way to make him look strong on his comeback.
Winner Via Pinfall - Hernandez
After the match, Samoa Joe and Taz sulked on the floor, as Jeremy Borash spoke to Hernandez at ringside. Hernandez said that he was back, he was healthy and he was aiming to become the first Latino TNA Heavyweight Champion.
Samoa Joe was shown throwing a fit backstage, as Taz told him that Hernandez didn't beat him, he beat himself.
Lauren talked to Matt Morgan, who expressed his extreme interest in joining the Main Event Mafia. Morgan said that if he could beat AJ Styles in the two out of three falls series, he would be in the main event at Hard Justice and he would be in the Main Event Mafia. Morgan's push is another positive for TNA. He and Hernandez could probably put on some good matches together.
Jeremy Borash caught up with AJ Styles, who said that he and Eric Young would cross paths again, but tonight he was focused on Matt Morgan and making it to the main event of Hard Justice. Styles and Young is another potentially good feud waiting to happen. TNA is starting to cook here.
Backstage, Jeremy Borash spoke to Bobby Lahsley and Mick Foley. Borash asked Lashley where he had been after his appearance at Lockdown. Lashley said that he beat Bob Sapp and was ready to join the Main Event Mafia, but he saw what Foley was fighting for last week and changed his mind. Foley said that it was highly important that they capture some Mafia gold later on. Foley talked about fighting for his pride and said that he was happy that Lashley made the right decision for TNA last week.
Matt Morgan and AJ Styles both had video packages accompany their entrances.
Match Two - Match #1 in a Best of Three Series to determine the third entrant in the Hard Justice Main Event - Matt Morgan vs. AJ Styles
Matt Morgan displayed his power early on, as Mike Tenay talked about the Steel Asylum match at Hard Justice and how it would determine a number one contender for the TNA X Division Championship. Styles utilized his speed to the fullest and hit a springboard 450 splash on Morgan to pick up the victory.
Winner Via Pinfall - AJ Styles - Styles leads the Series 1-0
Lauren talked to Traci Brooks backstage, who said that she tried getting work in TNA for months, but all they said was that they had nothing for her. She said Angle came to her with the money and she took it. She said that the business wasn't for soft girls, but rather for "bitches" like her.
A package was shown that recapped the history between Tara and The Beautiful People.
Don West conducted a sit-down interview with Tara, who talked about wanting to have a positive experience with TNA. She mentioned how great Awesome Kong is, before West interjected his feelings about The Beautiful People. Tara told West that she came to TNA to prove that she still has "it."
Match Three - Six Knockout Tag Team Match - Tara, Awesome Kong and ODB w/ Riesha Saeed and Cody Deaner vs. The Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne)
During the match, Awesome Kong and Tara got into it and the two brawled to the backstage area. Also during the match, The Motor City Machine Guns were shown sitting in the crowd with signs that read, "Conspiracy Theory" and "Yes We Work Here." Ha, ha. The Beautiful People had the three-on-one advantage, until Cody Deaner jumped up and distracted Angelina Love. She teased him and he kissed her, shocking her and allowing ODB to roll her up from behind for the pin.
Winners Via Pinfall - Tara, Awesome Kong and ODB
Eric Young and The World Elite were shown walking backstage.
A package was shown highlighting Eric Young's turn and formation of The World Elite.
The World Elite then entered the Impact Zone. Eric Young had a hair buzzer with him. Brutus Magnus introduced Young as the group's leader and Young took the mic. Young went on a tirade, bashing the United States and saying that the only time he got cheered, was when he was making the people laugh. Young said that he was going to be who he wanted to be and he began shaving his head. Young then called out Team 3D. Brother Ray told Young to "love it or leave it" and called The World Elite a bunch of punks. Team 3D hit the ring and their match with The British Invasion was on.
Match Four - IWGP Tag Team Championship Tables Match - The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Doug Williams) w/ Eric Young, Rob Terry, Sheik Abdul Bashir and Kiyoshi vs. Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon)
Team 3D did their best to keep the rest of The World Elite out of the match, but after referee Earl Hebner got knocked out, total chaos ensued. Rob Terry got involved, but Brother Devon was able to get the upperhand on Brutus Magnus, powerbombing him through a table that was already set up in the ring. Hebner was down, as Eric Young hit the ring and whacked Devon with one of the IWGP tag team titles, moving Magnus out of the ring and putting Devon in his place. Young then woke Hebner up, and he called for the bell.
Winners Via Putting Their Opponents Through A Table and NEW IWGP Tag Team Champions - The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams)
Mike Tenay pushed the main event tag team match.
A package was shown with footage of TNA at Comic-Con this past weekend in San Diego, CA.
Backstage, Lauren was with Dr. Stevie, who was throwing a fit and saying that he placed a $50,000 bounty on the head of Abyss.
They showed footage of Rhino and Jesse Neal training. Oh yeah, forgot about that whole thing. This footage was interrupted by a Main Event Mafia beatdown of Bobby Lashley and Mick Foley. Security came in and broke things up.
After a commercial break, Beer Money Inc. was shown brawling backstage with Booker T and Scott Steiner.
Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash made their entrances into the Impact Zone. Bobby Lashley was announced, but did not come out. Mick Foley was then announced and he did not come out either. As Angle and Nash were about to be declared the winners, Foley emerged and the match was on.
Match Five - TNA Heavyweight and Legends Championship Match - Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash (C) vs. Mick Foley and Bobby Lashley
Mick Foley started the match handicap style. Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash put a beating on Foley. Mick was able to fight back, until Nash hit him with a big boot and Angle applied the Ankle Lock. The lights went out as Sting's theme began to play. When the lights came back on, Sting was shown in the crowd pointing his bat at Angle and Nash. The lights went out again and when they came back on, Bobby Lashley was in the ring with a bandage on his head. Lashley took Angle and Nash down and hit Nash with a spear, allowing Foley to make the cover and get the win.
Winners Via Pinfall - Mick Foley and Bobby Lashley - NEW TNA Legends Champion - Mick Foley
Chris & Bryan Sokol are from Long Island, NY and would like to congratulate TNA on their big accomplishment.

Skip to comments.Reports: Libyan Prime Minister kidnapped by rebels; Revenge for al Libi raid? Update: Liberated
Posted on 10/09/2013 10:15:27 PM PDT by barmag25
Details are sketchy at this late hour, but CNN and others are reporting via Twitter that the Libyan PM has been kidnapped.
revenge for al Libi raid?
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
I'm thinking this guy was arrested by the government for ties to the Obama regime.
I'm thinking he ok'ed the raid.
Revenge is quite possible. The primary reason the government was so ticked off about the raid is they feared they'd be thought to have been complicit in it.
It is great. It goes with bang ... and an explosion, a fire and a kidnapping ...
Wow, what a great security apparatus he had. *sarc*
Ain't Obama's Arab Spring just great?
Yep, every single thing Obama touches turns to crap.
'What difference does it make?'
The Libyan pres has consistently ridiculed 0bama....and probably has info on Benghazi. Good money sez this was an 0bama op.
The does say 'rebels' and we all know how fond Obama is of people by that name.
Group thought to have seized #Libya PM say they will pursue all who aided US capture of al-Qaeda suspect Anas al-Liby bbc.in/1bdV9zz
Government-linked militia says it has arrested Libyan PM Ali Zeidan "on the order of the prosecutor" bbc.in/19BtDP1
The abduction early Thursday comes amid anger among Libya's powerful Islamic militant groups over the U.S. special forces raid on Saturday that seized a Libyan al-Qaida suspect, known as Abu Anas al-Libi. Several groups accused the government of colluding in or allowing the raid, though the government denied having any prior knowledge of the operation. Hours before the abduction, Zeidan met with al-Libi's family late Wednesday.
Libyan prime minister kidnapped by gunmen
The snatching of Zidan came hours after he met with the family of Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, the al-Qaida suspect seized by the Americans, now being held in a U.S. warship.
Looks like they want an exchange.
This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.
It's the same as the way he hung Seal Team 6 out to dry, painting targets on their backs, putting them in a slow undefended chopper, and then telling the enemy where they would be.
I think when Kaddafi went, that put an end to any opposition to Muslim extremism. Libya isn't Egypt, and there aren't a whole lot of secularists. Yes, some, but not a majority, I don't think.
I'd guess this is tribal resentment, or a typical Muzzie power-struggle to see who's going to rule the roost.
Thanks for the ping.
earlier on FR:
They let him go just like that? I bet he paid them to free him.

ABOUT The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce the International Sustainable Laboratory Student Design Competition for the 2011-2012 academic year. Inspired by the success of the Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21) Student Design Competition (2003-2004), the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) is hosting the International Sustainable Laboratory Student Design Competition with the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. Department of the Interior and in collaboration with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture and the Joint Institute for Caribbean Marine Studies (JICMS).
This competition will enable architecture and engineering students from around the world to provide new and innovative thinking in the creation of energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable laboratories.
The competition will focus on the proposed Salt River Bay Marine Research and Education Center (MREC), to be located within Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (SARI) a unit of the National Park Service (NPS) on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
COMPETITION SUMMARY The Marine Research and Education Center will be located on a 96-acre site on the eastern edge of Salt River Bay, along the north central coast of St. Croix. Salt River Bay, which extends from ridge to reef surrounded by intact red mangroves and sheltered by coral barrier reef, has extensive cultural and archeological significance, featuring remains of two pre-historic Taino villages and a ball court established more than 2,000 years ago. On November 14, 1493, Christopher Columbus' party came ashore at Salt River Bay, the only site now in U.S. territory visited by Columbus' party. For the last 40 years Salt River Bay has been the site of long term marine research including NOAA National Undersea Research Program saturation diving habitats, Hydrolab and Aquarius, 1977-1989.
The Marine Research and Education Center, a 60,000-square foot campus, will support marine research and education programs for undergraduate and graduate university students, in addition to marine science and environmental education programs for primary and secondary school-age students and adults , and include an archeological field school highlighting Caribbean Studies.
Participants in the design competition are encouraged to provide new and innovative thinking for the Marine Research and Education Center design, to produce the most energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable designs possible. Students will be required to develop integrated design and engineering strategies for the educational laboratory and address the off-grid utility infrastructures needed for the campus. The designs will respond to the climatic, geophysical, environmental, and resource challenges of the site and its location on a tropical island adjacent to sensitive marine resources in a National Park. Strategies must minimize impacts to the viewshed or historic landscape, coastal habitats, cultural resources, and other adjacencies.
Students must creatively pursue the highest level of energy and environmental sustainability through the integration of design and engineering strategies that take into account the operation and maintenance of the laboratory facility and the campus. Students should view their submissions as concepts that will incentivize the use of their strategies throughout the Caribbean basin.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Sustainably designed buildings seek to reduce or eliminate their impact on the environment through reduced energy use and resource efficiency. The building industry - encompassing facility design, construction, engineering, and facility operation - is seeking to develop, redevelop, and retrofit buildings that are healthy, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective. The goal is to minimize natural resource consumption while enhancing social and economic benefits.
INNOVATION This competition seeks to explore and develop ideas, systems, and applications utilizing sustainable designs for the Marine Research and Education Center laboratory and campus, based on the actual building program of the facility and the project goals of the partners.
