FORMAL ETHICS OPINION 2017-F-163
The Board of Professional Responsibility has been requested to issue a Formal Ethics Opinion regarding the Prosecutors' Ethical Obligations to Disclose Information Favorable to the Defense.
Tennessee Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8(d) is a separate ethical obligation of prosecutors and was not meant to be coextensive with a prosecutor's legal disclosure obligations. This ethical duty is separate from disclosure obligations imposed under the Constitution, statutes, procedural rules, court rules, or court orders. A prosecutor's ethical duty to disclose information favorable to the defense is broader than and extends beyond Brady. Once a prosecutor knows of evidence and information that tends to negate the guilt of the accused, or mitigates the offense, or otherwise falls within RPC 3.8(d)'s disclosure requirement, the prosecutor ordinarily must disclose it as soon as reasonably practicable.
Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 3.8(d) imposes special ethical duties on prosecutors representing the government in criminal litigation, including certain duties of disclosure of favorable information to the defendant. This opinion gives guidance in addressing the scope of those duties.
I. Does a prosecutor's duty under RPC 3.8(d) to disclose to the defense "all evidence or information known to the prosecutor that tends to negate the guilt of the accused or mitigate the offense" and in connection with sentencing, "all unprivileged mitigating information known to the prosecutor" extend beyond the "material" standard as construed by federal or state constitutional decisions?
II. What constitutes "timely disclosure" under RPC 3.8(d)?
RPC 3.8 (d) states that "the prosecutor in a criminal case: shall make timely disclosure to the defense of all evidence or information known to the prosecutor that tends to negate the guilt of the accused or mitigates the offense, and in connection with sentencing, disclose to the defense and to the tribunal all unprivileged mitigating information known to the prosecutor, except when the prosecutor is relieved of this responsibility by a protective order of the tribunal".
Federal constitutional case law requires prosecutors to disclose certain exculpatory information to the defense. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) requires disclosure of "material evidence" favorable to the accused. Other federal rules and statutes require a federal or state prosecutor to disclose certain prior statements of any witness the prosecutor intends to use at trial prior to when that witness testifies. See 18 U.S.C section 3500 (the "Jencks Act").
Some states have held that the prosecutor's responsibilities under Brady and its progeny only apply to "material" information. The argument for this position is that Rule 3.8 is simply an ethical codification of Brady . None of the cases that support this position offer evidence to support that interpretation.
A majority of states hold that the ethical duty of a prosecutor is broader and extends beyond Brady .
In reaching this conclusion, the Supreme Court of North Dakota held that there is a distinction between compliance with an ethical rule and ensuring that an accused is not wrongly convicted. That court viewed the different purposes and objectives served by the two proceedings. "The primary concern in disciplinary proceedings is to ensure attorneys act in conformity with the ethical standards embodied in the Rules of Professional Conduct, regardless of the surrounding circumstances." "A prosecutor's ethical duty to disclose all exculpatory evidence to the defense does not vary depending upon the strength of the other evidence in the case." Id.
American Bar Association Formal Opinion 09-454 extensively addresses the relationship between Model Rule 3.8(d), which is identical to Tennessee Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8(d), and a prosecutor's disclosure obligations under the United States Constitution. The ABA Opinion concludes that that the drafters of Model Rule 3.8(d) "made no attempt to codify the evolving constitutional case law." ABA Formal Opinion 09-454 specifically states that the rule "does not implicitly include the materiality limitation recognized in the constitutional case law," but rather "requires prosecutors to disclose favorable evidence so that the defense can decide on its utility."
Courts, including the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, have held that the Brady standard for materiality is less demanding than the ethical obligations imposed on a prosecutor. In the Tennessee case of Brooks, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals quoted the U.S. Supreme Court, "Although the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as interpreted by Brady, only mandates the disclosure of material evidence, the obligation to disclose evidence favorable to the defense may arise more broadly under a prosecutor's ethical or statutory obligation." ABA Opinion 09-454 sets out that the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice acknowledge that prosecutors' ethical duty of disclosure extends beyond the constitutional obligation.
Comment [1] to Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 3.8 states that: "A prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice whose duty is to seek justice rather than merely to advocate for the State's victory at any given cost."
Based on the text and history of Rule 3.8 of the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct there is no evidence that the rule contains an implicit materiality limitation or was otherwise intended to codify constitutional law. We join the ABA Committee and other jurisdictions that conclude that RPC 3.8 is a separate ethical obligation of prosecutors and was not meant to be coextensive with a prosecutor's legal disclosure obligations. This ethical duty is separate from disclosure obligations imposed under the Constitution, statutes, procedural rules, court rules, or court orders. A prosecutor's ethical duty to disclose information favorable to the defense is broader than and extends beyond Brady.
Timely disclosure is mandated under RPC 3.8(d). The question of what constitutes "timely" was also addressed by ABA Opinion 09-454 which found that in order for disclosure of information to be "timely", it must be made early enough that the information can be used effectively. "Because the defense can use favorable evidence and information most fully and effectively the sooner it is received, such evidence or information, once known to the prosecutor, must be disclosed under Rule 3.8(d) as soon as reasonably practical." The only exception to the timely requirement is "except when the prosecutor is relieved of this responsibility by a protective order of the tribunal." Comment [3] to RPC 3.8 recognizes that if disclosure of information to the defense could result in substantial harm to an individual or the public interest the prosecutor may seek an appropriate protective order from the tribunal.
"Among the most significant purposes for which disclosure must be made under Rule 3.8(d) is to enable defense counsel to advise the defendant regarding whether to plead guilty. Because the defendant's decision may be strongly influenced by defense counsel's evaluation of the strength of the prosecution's case, timely disclosure requires the prosecutor to disclose evidence and information covered by Rule 3.8(d) prior to a guilty plea proceeding, which may occur concurrently with the defendant's arraignment." Once a prosecutor knows of evidence and information that tends to negate the guilt of the accused, or that otherwise falls within Rule 3.8(d)'s disclosure requirement, the prosecutor ordinarily must disclose it as soon as reasonably practicable.
Tennessee Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8(d) is a separate ethical obligation of prosecutors and was not meant to be coextensive with a prosecutor's legal disclosure obligations. This ethical duty is separate from disclosure obligations imposed under the Constitution, statutes, procedural rules, court rules, or court orders. A prosecutor's ethical duty to disclose information favorable to the defense is broader than and extends beyond Brady. Once a prosecutor knows of evidence and information that tends to negate the guilt of the accused, or mitigates the offense, or falls within RPC 3.8(d)'s disclosure requirement, the prosecutor ordinarily must disclose it as soon as reasonably practicable.

A change in plans moved the 2019 debut for the Millington Lady Trojans and Bartlett Lady Panthers to the moist turf of Miles Park.
The home of the Lady Trojans was dry enough to field the contest between the former District 14-3A rivals. The current District 14-3A team Bartlett jumped ahead 2-0.
Then the District 15-2A Lady Trojans changed the attire once more. The apparent Lady Panther victory was erased for a Millington 3-2 comeback win.
"I tell my kids every day, 'You're going to face adversity,'" Millington Head Coach Whitney Horton said. "'You've got to take it one game at time, one pitch at a time.' I can't express how proud I am of these young ladies fighting back from 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh.
Bartlett started off with a bang, grabbing a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Lady Panthers added some insurance in the top of the sixth inning with another RBI single.
The Lady Trojans faced a 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning with Ann Howard stepping to the plate.
Howard's single was followed by a Racheal Ballard hit, leading to a two-base error. The table was set for Lady Trojan pitcher Kaitlyn McDonald.
The sophomore's clutch double had everybody loving it wearing black and gold. McDonald drove in Howard and Ballard to deadlock the game at 2-2.
After the next two Millington batters moved the runner over to third base, Clifton stepped to the plate with a chance to win the game but facing two outs.
Clifton his a dribbler into play, sending the Bartlett defense into a frenzy.
Clifton made it in time and courtesy runner Allix Gordon crossed home plate with the winning run against the 3A foe.
Horton said she was proud of the effort for her entire team, including McDonald's pitching.
"We can't win ball games if we don't make routine plays," she said. "The defense that showed up for Millington tonight is the defense I knew we had in us. I was very proud of how each and every one of them did their job.
Clifton said the 2019 Lady Trojans are a special group and have the right mixture to do something as special.

The Tiran and Sanafir Islands at the Heart of an Online Protest
Michael Barak
Michael Barak analyzes the reaction on Egyptian and Saudi social media to the transfer of the Tiran and Sanafir Islands from Egypt to Saudi Arabia.
In April 2016, the Egyptian government announced the signing of an agreement which transferred control of Tiran and Sanafir Islands from Egyptian to Saudi Arabian sovereignty. Since then, there has been heated debate around the issue on Egyptian social networking sites (SNS). On one side, the discourse is characterized by support for Egyptian President 'Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi and his foreign policy, with an emphasis on the importance of improving the relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. On the other, it is characterized by serious opposition to the prospect of "forfeiting" Egyptian territory and a deep disgust with the al-Sisi regime and its alleged oppression of citizens. This discourse has already resulted in two large demonstrations involving thousands of protesters in Cairo and Alexandra, and opponents of the regime there calling for the continuation of the revolution of January 25.
The Tiran and Sanafir Islands, located in the Gulf of Aqaba, were under Saudi jurisdiction until 1950. At that time, they were transferred to Egyptian sovereignty for fear that Israel would take control of them. Since al-Sisi came to power, the relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia has been strengthened, against the backdrop of the increasing threat that the two countries face from both Iran and Islamic terrorist groups. In the context of these improved relations, and as an acknowledgment of the extensive economic aid that Saudi Arabia has granted Egypt, the Egyptian government recently accepted the Saudis' request that the two islands be returned.
Extensive public discourse around the issue developed on SNS in Egypt. Some described the move as high treason against the Egyptian people and a reflection of Egyptian sycophancy toward Saudi Arabia.[1] For example, one Egyptian user wrote, "The people feel betrayed. Egyptian land was sold cheaply."[2] Others claimed that al-Sisi sold the islands for personal financial benefits from the Saudi regime. Activists in the April 6 Movement, a youth movement opposed to the regime, called on the army to not remain silent in the face of lost territory and coined the slogan, "al-Sisi does not represent me in the sale [of the islands]."[3] Among the angry posts was a song, entitled, "Awad sold his land." "Awad" is a character taken from an old Egyptian song, which expresses the negative, repulsive image of someone who sells his land.[4]
There was also extensive discussion regarding the legal ownership of the islands. Many Egyptian users claim that the islands belonged to Egypt even before Saudi Arabia was established. According to their version, there is historical documentation proving that the Ottoman Empire transferred the two islands to Egypt in 1906, and that historically the countries of the world related to them as Egyptian.[5] The Ghad al-Thawra party, a strident opponent of the regime, posted a note on its Facebook page, which stated that "the two islands, and indeed all the territory of the Arabian Peninsula up to the border of Yemen should actually be under complete Egyptian sovereignty… as well as Sudan and all of Palestine including the Gaza Strip, Jordan and part of the al-Shaman lands that were once under Egyptian sovereignty!!!"[6] MP Haitham Elhariri summarized the mood by noting that only public pressure would be effective in bringing about a change in the decision.[7]
Supporters of al-Sisi, for their part, claimed that transfer of the islands was executed legally, and was important for national security because of the need to strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia.[8] Some of them accused Ayman Nour, founder of Ghad Al-Thawra, of forging documents that show El-Sisi receiving monetary bribes in return for transferring the islands.[9] One user noted that even Israel keeps its agreements with Lebanon, Cyprus and Gaza regarding the gas fields that were discovered in the Mediterranean, and therefore agreements between Arab states should be considered even more legitimate.[10] Saudi users also joined the conversation and defended the agreement, presenting historical proof of Saudi Arabia's prior claim to the islands.[11]
In some cases, the discourse on SNS developed into a confrontation between Saudi users and Egyptian users, regarding the relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. For example, one Saudi user noted that strengthening the relationship between the countries was primarily important for Egypt, which needs the Saudis' financial assistance to maintain fiscal stability. In response, an Egyptian user wrote that it would be better if Saudi Arabia would stop supporting tyrannical regimes, and added that its support for Egypt is based purely on Saudi Arabia's interests, and its need to reinforce its geopolitical status in the region, since "the fall of Egypt would lead to the fall of Saudi Arabia."[12] Users identified with the Muslim Brotherhood, the April 6 Movement, and leftist movements such as "Socialism and Revolution," used the issue of the islands to initiate a demonstration against the government and called on their supporters to take to the streets in protest. For this purpose they launched a hashtag "Friday: Land is honor,"[13] that was used in more than 100,000 tweets. In response to this organizing effort, the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior published a warning on Facebook that the Muslim Brotherhood intended to take advantage of the demonstration to create chaos and confrontation between citizens and security forces, exposing, inter alia, the seriousness with which Egypt takes SNS, since the fall of Mubarak.[14] Supporters of al-Sisi also disparaged the planned demonstration and expressed their support for the president with the hashtag, "We all are with al-Sisi."[15] Another user wrote that the people stand by the president, "against the plot of those calling for a poisonous demonstration; and against the traitors who work against Egypt…"[16] Saudi users also expressed their disapproval and accused the Muslim Brotherhood of attempting to destabilize Egyptian security.
The demonstrations in streets of Cairo and Alexandria on April 25 were accompanied by the intensification of SNS discourse against the regime of al-Sisi, which included reports and videos uploaded from the scene.[17] The arrest of many demonstrators further fanned the flames; many took advantage of the opportunity to protest against other issues, including the lack of personal freedoms in Egypt. For example, one user tweeted that, "handing over the islands was the final straw that broke the camel's back. It is an expression of a much larger problem prevailing in Egypt."[18] Many demonstrators were filled with a feeling of euphoria and described the protest as continuation of the 'Arab Spring' in Egypt. One said that "This is not another revolution but rather the same revolution of January 25" which, in his words, has the potential to continue until corruption is eliminated and freedom and justice are established for Egyptians. Monael Tahawy, a well-known Egyptian activist, expressed great satisfaction with the demonstration: "I am happy to see that the people of Egypt have broken through the barrier of fear that al-Sisi imposed on the country." [19]
The Internet discourse shows the dissatisfaction of large portions of the Egyptian population with the regime, and what may be the growing disintegration of its power base in light of the territorial price Egypt was forced to pay to Saudi Arabia. Saudi support of Egypt is considered problematic, and opponents of the Egyptian regime do not consider it support for their country but rather support for the al-Sisi regime that perpetuates the suppression of individual liberties.

At around 11:00 p.m. on February 2nd, authorities responded to an alarm at the Salon 360, located in the 9200 block of Archibald Avenue. When they arrived they learned that the robbery had just occurred. The witnesses reported that two black men entered the store with firearms, forced a victim to their vehicle and stole an undisclosed but "significant" amount of money from inside the vehicle. In addition, the suspects stole a cell phone then forced the victims into the bathroom before fleeing the scene.
Deputies were able to locate the stole cell phone in a Victorville trash can at a gas station. Through further investigation, suspect leads were developed and February 9, 2018, detectives were able to review the surveillance footage at the gas station. In the video, detectives viewed a black man who matched the description of one of the two robbery suspects. The suspect was identified as Chad Harris, 36, of Moreno Valley. During the search of Harris' person, a loaded handgun was recovered from his pants. Harris was arrested and booked into the West Valley Detention Center for; Kidnapping, Carrying a Concealed Stolen Weapon, Carrying a Concealed Weapon by a Convicted Felon and Carrying a Loaded Handgun, not the owner. He is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
The second suspect was identified as Dwayne Williams, 35, of Victorville, which led to an arrest warrant. On Thursday, February 15, 2018, Williams was taken into custody outside of his home in the 11700 block of Fern Pine Street in the City of Victorville.

Fuel price hike: Government has no choice – Minister
The Minister of Information, Alh. Lai Mohammed, on Monday said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has not let down Nigerians with the new fuel pump price of N145 per litre.
He said the present government has no choice than to deregulate the petroleum sector.
He said in 2015, the Federal Government paid N1trillion as subsidy, which amounted to one-sixth of the nation's budget.
He said there was no way the government can afford such a huge amount of subsidy again.
He, however, claimed that the liberalization policy will lead to the creation of 600,000 jobs in the country.
But he denied claims that labour leaders were deceived or tricked on the new pump price.
Mohammed, who made the clarifications at a briefing of Bureau Chiefs in Abuja, gave six reasons for the new deregulation policy.
The reasons are as follows:
To end the crippling fuel scarcity and ensure availability of products
Drastic fall in the price of crude oil
FG cannot afford N1trillion per year subsidy again
No funding or appropriation to pay N16.4 billion monthly subsidy
Renewed insurgency and pipeline vandalism reduce oil production from 2.2m bpd to 1.65m bpd
Foreign reserves have fallen
The minister said: "As you are undoubtedly aware, a new price regime for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) was recently announced by the Federal Government. Many have been asking why this would happen at this time and what triggered the decision concerning the new framework for petrol products supply, distribution and pricing.
"Gentlemen, we have no choice than to liberalize the price of petrol, if we are to end the crippling fuel scarcity that has enveloped the country, ensure the availability of the products and end the suffering of our people over the lingering scarcity.
"Many have also tried to compare what happened in 2012, when the last administration increased fuel price, with the new price regime of 2016. Our answer to that is that there is no basis for comparison.
"The truth is that the NNPC does not have the resources for, nor is it designed to meet this increase in supply. The result is the crippling fuel situation across the country. Pushed to supply 90 per cent of the products required for domestic consumption, the NNPC has continued to utilize crude oil volumes outside the 445,000 barrels/day allocated to it, thereby creating major funding and remittance gaps into the Federation account.
"Also, the renewed insurgency and pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta have drastically reduced national crude oil production to 1.65 million barrels per day, against 2.2 million barrels per day planned in the 2016 budget, further reducing income to Federation account and also affecting crude volumes for PMS conversion and impacting Federal Government's forex earnings."

TRI-CONTINENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL 9-28 SEPT 2011, JOHANNESBURG/SOWETO. PRETORIA, CAPE TOWN.
The much anticipated TRI CONTINENTAL FILM FESTIVAL is coming to select Ster-Kinekor and Cinema Nouveau theatres this September!
The Tri Continental Film Festival (TCFF) is South Africa's only dedicated human rights film event and consists of films that promote democratisation, deepens understanding, and affords those marginalised a substantive voice, proving to be more vital than ever in our rapidly changing world.
TCFF has played a significant role in creating a sustainable and continually growing audience for social justice cinema over the past nine years, through film selection that is nuanced, relevant, informative and well-balanced, and promise to continue this tradition in 2011, with a program that reflects global currents of change and action.
The selection of films presented this year is the result of rigorous curation of over 500 entries. These works speak directly to the pressing concerns of our world and the power of documentary and fiction to relay these concerns in a compelling and powerful manner. TCFF is also pleased to present two retrospectives; the outstanding works of Peter Wintonick and a finely crafted selection from documentary icon Werner Herzog is presented in conjunction with The Goethe-Institute Johannesburg.
"We are proud to present a crop of excellent films which speak directly to this issue and will continue to do so in the coming years so we can play our own small part in building a movement to halt the forward march towards the end of humanity as we know it," says Rehad Desai, the Festival Director.
Four war-veterans, from different sides, step onto a boat at the mouth of the Kwando river deep within the African interior.

Dictionaries might define the word 'rendezvous' as a meeting with someone that is arranged for a particular time and place (and that is often secret); or a place where people agree to meet at a particular time; or perhaps a place where many people go to spend time. Here, Rendezvous is a place where we can share information and get to know each other better.

A sign is posted at the library entrances informing the public that security cameras are in use.
Authorized staff will have access to the real time monitors, although activity is only randomly monitored. Only the Executive Director or her designee along with enforcement officers will have access to the archival material in pursuit of incidents of criminal activity or violation of the library's Rules of Conduct.
Images will be stored for up to 30 calendar days, unless required as part of an ongoing investigation. The storage media is kept in a secured area. As new images are recorded, the oldest images will be automatically deleted.

Smart watches are the new in point now. They do more than only exhibiting the moment. They're able to have different software and can do a number of helpful things like alert you when your phone rings. While they have separate systems and chips, smart watches are primarily meant as an add-on to smart mobile phone.
Can you know most of the characteristics?
Some of the watches which have been lately found can do various things that are fascinating. They could take pictures; much more and provide you driving directions. Perhaps the most useful application of a smart view is reading texts and e-mails from your arm. These devices link to smart phone or your tab through access the applications and wireless therein.
What is more, they are simple to use and possess a number of uses also. If you're lucky, you might even get one of these wearable devices which actually sport a digicam that is cool. Some of these fit bit watch nowadays actually sport a 5 MP camera which will allow you to shoot pictures in a much more easy manner.
Let us be truthful, how useful are timepieces that are smart?
You could consider the question as to why do these timepieces are actually needed by you. All things considered, you've got your own smart-phone. What's more, your smart phone can do all the things that the intelligent watch can perform , right? Properly, think of it-this means. Your smart phone can not take better images than your camera. Yet, your smartphone is used by you, right? It's really all about comfort and the way much easier it is to handle these waterproof fitness tracker. You just wear them and forget about them. What's more, together with the great battery life they come with today, you surely may do much more with them than you can do together with your smartphone.
Still another application of the timepieces is maintaining a record of your tasks. For example, after the conclusion of a work-out, data delivered online to produce a sign of workout actions for analysis or could be uploaded on a computer.
Yahoo has launched its own Android os for jaw bone. The operating system was created to supply a smartphone like experience right in the wearable device. That is not all. It is also possible to operate a few Google-particular apps, including although not limited to Google roadmaps and Hangouts. Imagine talking from your wise view or taking a look at the guide. Sounds cool, doesn't it?
If Yahoo continues on its path, the apparatus situation will be a lot different after Yahoo Glass is released. Google Glass is not a wise view though and is a device. Nonetheless, there isn't any scarcity of choices that have many firms working to gain the market that is innovative. Apple is stated to be coming out with its own view soon which may be an additional landmark Read More Here.
Yet, maybe not all devices that are wearable are amazing. These watches are unusually large in dimension, for starters. Secondly, the rates are excessively excessive. Thirdly, inadequate life is a continuing issue. The more the number of uses the lesser will be the smart watch's battery lifetime.
This is why you may believe they aren't needed by you. They're a luxury, as well as an expensive one. However, they can be undoubtedly a prized property to get a tech savvy individual and also a new point really.

3 of the All-Time Classic NBA Duels
djallen23
The beef between Meek Mill and Drake has taken the hip-hop world by storm. What started with a few tweets quickly turned into a couple of diss records, which led to a plethora of memes and uproar all over social media. Sometimes we see the same things happen in the game of basketball. Whether it's Matt Barnes explaining his dislike of Serge Ibaka or two legends in Shaquille O'Neal and Scottie Pippen going at each other on Instagram. Like the music industry, beefs occur in the game of basketball all the time, but in most cases, the players often let their game do the talking.
With Drake and Meek Mill taking constant jabs at each other, its only right that we get in tune with this competitive nature and look at some of the best duels the NBA has ever seen.

Larry Bird vs. Dominique Wilkins
Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals is looked at as one of the best battles in basketball history. Two juggernauts of the league in Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins were both at the top of their games and truly displayed what their games were made of. Wilkins put up an astounding 47 points, however it wasn't enough to come out with a win. Bird scored 34 points, 20 of which came in the 4th quarter, which led to his team's victory.

Kobe Bryant vs. Gilbert Arenas
Whenever you see two gunslingers (no pun intended) at the shooting guard position appear on the schedule, that's a game that you don't want to miss. Kobe Bryant was the best scorer in the league and Gilbert Arenas was not far behind, so when it came to battling each other on the court, it was all about who could outdo the other. Arenas simply was feeling it, getting bucket after bucket. He ended the game with 60 points, which was a career-high, and he also added 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Gilbert was always known as an assassin when it came to scoring the ball. He could get it any which way he wanted to and many defenders couldn't stop it.
Kobe Bryant was on the other spectrum of a high-scoring night. He put up an easy 45 points on an efficient 15-for-24 shooting, which came along with 10 rebounds and 8 assists. However, his fantastic game was overlooked by the onslaught that was put on by Agent Zero.
Looking back at this moment, it's amazing to watch because these two guys just made scoring look so easy. Putting the ball in the basket came so effortlessly, but the rarity of seeing two dynamic players go at each other like this, and put up those type of numbers, is what makes this game classic.

Allen Iverson vs. Vince Carter
First let's start off with the numbers…
Allen Iverson and Vince Carter gave the world a series that could never be forgotten. Great basketball was put on display by these two players in their prime and it led to one of the best back-and-forth scoring outputs that we've ever seen in the playoffs. Allen Iverson came off of an amazing season, being crowned League MVP and also winning MVP of the NBA All-Star game. He averaged 31 points, 5 assists and three steals that season, leading the Philadelphia 76ers deep into the playoffs. But no matter how well he did on the court, the 'thug' image he encompassed throughout his career always seemed to cloud over his head. Many wanted to see him fail and hated the hip-hop culture that he embodied, but that didn't stop him from being the dynamic basketball player that he was.
Vince Carter was the human highlight reel that everyone was tuned in to see. There wasn't a dunk he couldn't do and his flashy style and crazy athleticism kept fans on their feet. In this series, it seemed like both players had the 'anything you can do, I can do better' mentality, which led them to want to outshine the opposing player each game. Three 50-point games in a series is astonishing and unheard of, but it made for great basketball and truly displayed what it means to put everything you have on the court. But in the end, there could only be one, and this time around it happened to be Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers winning the series.
This time around Toronto and Philly meet again, but whose turn is it now? Meek Mill, like AI, holds the bad boy image in hip-hop whereas Drake is the good guy and is known as the face of Toronto. Currently, the Canadian star is up 2-0 in the series, and even though many are impatiently waiting for Philly's comeback, it has yet to be heard.

Physical anthropology is also called biological anthropology. You need to understand the basics of biology before you apply it to humans. We are going to use these ideas as the basis for explaining phenomena in later sections, such as: Why primates scream at each other? How are those two fossils related? Why do people look different from each other? What are people going to look like in a million years? Now is a great time to review your notes from your High School biology class.
Biology is a broad field that ranges in scale from the microscopic to the geographical. Evolutionary theory is crucial to biology. Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection came from a historical context where many other scientists were contributing to evolutionary theory. Natural selection means that individuals compete for resources and those with the variations that make them more fit to survive in a certain environment tend to survive and reproduce more. Sexual selection is the part of natural selection that focuses on competition for reproduction. Darwin understood the importance of variation.
Gregor Mendel used math to explain how variation is inherited. Population genetics used math to show how inheritance works in large populations. The modern synthesis combined Mendelian genetics and population genetics, to codify evolutionary theory into four forces: mutation, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift. Inheritance, mutation, and other sources of variation can now be understood through cellular biology and genetics. Humans are made up of cells. Cells have DNA. DNA is the code that directs protein synthesis. Proteins direct the functions of life.
Sickle cell anemia is an example of how the holistic approach of anthropology can use many subfields, mostly from biology, to understand the origins and consequences of an important human disease.


How Do We Reckon With Sexist Jokes?
Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, and Mindy Kaling wait on a subway in "Ocean's 8."
The joke rests on the juxtaposition of stakes. The heist is high-stakes. Snippy, low-stakes fights in the middle of high-pressure situations tend to be funny. (Ask a sitcom writer!) The joke isn't really about women, but it rests on the accepted idea that women in large groups are petty and passive aggressive. Mulaney also prefaces the joke by saying he "doesn't like to make generalizations about women."
Chris Rock joked in 2009 that "women hate women." If women ruled the world, he extrapolated, we'd have no war. Instead, there would be a bunch of countries "not talking to one another." Aziz Ansari's bit about the two types of men who hit on women largely hinges on the reaction of the women, not the behavior of the guy. Creeps hit on women, and women love it, Ansari posits. Men like him hit on women, and they're "mean." (Another bit involves Ansari making fun of a woman who rolled her eyes at his come-on.) Brent Morin has a bit about how aggressively women tend to reject his overtures.
There's practically a whole subcategory of comedy devoted to the behavior of women. Almost none of it is excellent comedy, although some of it is funny, purely thanks to structure. All of it involves gross generalizations that don't take into account the perspective of the woman. Morin forgets that women often have to make their rejections blatantly clear, lest their oblivious suitors return. Ansari does the same. He also blames women for having poor taste in men, essentially. And Mulaney applies his very limited knowledge of women in a personal setting to women in a professional setting — if women are this volatile in private, he surmises, what are they like in a workplace?
His point is that jokes, while important and sometimes widely publicized, aren't statements of fact. His joke was based on his experience, which — and I don't like to make assumptions about people, but — probably didn't include many jewelry heists. Based on this limited experience, the women he knew wouldn't have been able to pull off a heist together. If anything, he's saying that he has a low opinion of the women he knew, one of whom happens to be his wife. This is why John Mulaney would never ask his female friends to make a movie like Ocean's 8 or join him in his next heist.

View Full Version : Quick question regarding DLC & multiplayer - considering purchasing.
I'm only really interested in multiplayer... so from a position of complete ignorance what do i need or not need to enjoy multiplayer from the DLC content. Ideally i just want to by the game and go have fun online.. is this possible? What's the advice?
yes that is possible. the DLC is not required, but there are some great cars in the DLC packs as well as the Nurburgring 24h Layout.
Add the "Game of the Year" bundle to your steam cart, and it will account for you already having the base game, and discount the price accordingly. It includes all the DLC.
Thanks. Will not having certain DLC mean i'm unable to join certain servers that have that content? Is the MP community large enough with just the base game? i.e will there be populated servers if i have no DLC?
No. You'll always be able to join any server. And even if you don't have the DLC car or track you'll still be able to drive them if the host forces them.
That's great! Thank a lot. See you on a server one day!
