Open Response
Corry's punishment is cruel and unusual because being stranded on an asteroid i usually not the punishment for murder. For example when Captain Allenby Shows up to give hi his supplies that he needs, Corry is begging him to stay because of how lonely he is but the Captain leaves and Corry is very upset about that. The punishment of being lonely for that long for Corry is worse than being locked up in a jail cell for a longer period of time. You can tell by the look on his face that when the Captain leaves it shows how upset he is and that he is on the line of killing himself. So based on Corry and how he takes the punishment, this punishment is definitely cruel and unusual punishmen

Age in the NBA
Weather a team be considered an old team or a young team, the age of an NBA team clearly affects their play throughout the season. Teams like the Spurs and Celtics have a veteran core to their team but are still having success at the end of their careers. But teams like the Thunder are looking to have great success in the future with three-time scoring leader Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook.
The Spurs have had Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobill, and Tony Parker on the same team for the past ten years and have put together three championships. But now they are starting to get old and that could really hurt a team or really help a team. In the past few years they have been using their experience to their advantage, having all the experience they have. For the past two years they have had the best record in the NBA. This year Tony Parker has had arguably his best season so far, and that is surprising coming from his eleventh year in the league.
With Celtics they are really starting to get old and it is showing but everyone still believes that they still have one more year in them. They showed in 2008 that having veterans like Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce on the team helped them win a championship the first year they got Kevin and Ray. Like all teams, having veterans on your team leads to more injuries and that has showed especially for the Celtics for the past few years and right now with Ray Allen. When it comes playoff time you can tell that it is the end of the season because their play starts to decrease and more injuries are occurring.
Last year the Mavericks had a good veteran group with Dirk Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Jason Kid, Vince Carter, and Jason Terry. They proved that a team like that can clearly win an NBA championship with a group like that behind Dirk. Like the Celtics this year the Mavs looked like they made their last run for the title last year and are looking to rebuild after this season beacuse a lot of their players are starting to reach the end of their carrers after great careers.
With the Thunder on the other hand they are very young and looking for great years to come out of Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook. Even James Harden and Kendrick Perkins are in the beginning half of their careers. A couple years ago being one if the worst teams in the league and used their draft picks wisley with Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook wich are one of the leagues best dou. And James Harden who is looking to win the six-man of the year award.
Now being playoff time you will see the older teams maybe struggle because they start to wear down towards the end of the season beacuse they start to get tired late in games. And look for teams like the Thunder to make a big run through the playoffs and maybe win it this year, or watch out for teams like the Celtics to make that last run through the playoffs because they certainly have the potential.

Conclusion
Many people get divorced without a sufficient reason. It's hard to ignore the life of someone that was divorced, after the divorce. You can obviously say that the life of someone who has been divorced is tougher than the life of someone married all their life. Already been married once, some who as been divorced is most likely waning t be married again, and that may be hard for some people. If these people end up remarrying the next marriage sometimes ends up in another divorce because you an never get the real experience of getting married all of your life. Before you marry someone more people should thunk it through a little longer and harder.

Television, computers, and Cell phones are very useful but can be addicting for some people.
1. Television is good for news and interesting shown but can become too addicting that you watch T.V. too much.
2. Computers are very useful because of the Internet, but it also has websites that are very useful and can become addicting.
3.Cell phones are very useful to keep inn touch with people but teens can get addicted to their phones, and texting.

Playoff Contendors
The NBA playoffs is all about going strong into the postseason. Some of the top teams aren't looking so good with injuries an etc. And some of the lower teams that were at the bottom of the ranking earlier in the year are now close to the top of the standings. Injuries could be a real problem for teams like Orlando, Chicago, and Miami.
In the east Miami and Chicago have been at the top all year long and there is nothing unexpected with them being the top two teams. But they both are looking for all players to be healthy come play-off time. The bulls Derrick Rose has been suffering injuries all year long and now it's his ankle that has kept him from playing 16 of the last 19 games. For the Heat, Wade and Bosh are looking to rest the injuries the rest of the season to be fresh come play-offs. The Pacers have been the underdog team all season long. But they still are managing to keep one of the top seeds all year long, and looking strong winning seven of their last eight games. The Celtics are expected to either get the four or five seed either way playing the Hawks in the first round. The Celtics have had the best record in the NBA coming off the All-Star break, being under 500 for the first half of the year and now being 37-27. They also have had injury problems but the bench has stepped up especially Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass. The Celtics are trying to make one last run at the playoffs before they get to old to sustain a whole 82 game regular season in years to come. Orlando being the six seed and not looking so good. Their All-Star center Dwight Howard has surfed a season ending back injury. So far without him, the Magic have been 0-3. They will have to face a tough team in the Pacers first round and that won't be good for the Magic ending the season bad with the Pacers rolling into the play-offs. With the Knicks likely coming in as the seven seed in the east are hoping to make a run against either the Heat or the Bulls. The Knicks certainly have the talent with Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthoney to put up a good series to either of those teams.
In the west the top two teams are the old spurs and the young Thunder. These are two totally different teams. The Thunder with a pretty good bench and two stars in Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook, and also being one of the best third scorers on a team James Harden. With the Spurs they have tony Parker who is having an amazing MVP season behind Lebron and Durant, but still for his age and his success he he is having one of his best seasons in the NBA. Also the young Spurs bench has done very well unexpectedly with a lot of great young prospects. The key for the Lakers success in the play-offs is to have great performances by Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and
Andrew Bynum. But the Lakers week point is their bench which is one of the worst in the league. The Lakers may end up playing the Nuggetts who has a really deep team with a lot of key players on it that could do a lot of damage. The raining NBA champions Dallas Mavericks are expected to be the seven seed and playing the Oklahoma City Thunder, which should be another interesting match up to see if Dirk can do the same damage in the play-offs this year as he did last year.

Lebron and the Heat
I think that the Heat are better off without Dwayne Wade, because if they let Lebron shoot all the important shots and take control, they would be better off. I think this because if the Heat were to trade Dwayne Wade for a great center or point guard it would help Lebron and give him a change to take charge because he certainly has the ability to do that.
When Lebron played for the Cavaliers Mo Williams and Antawn Jameson were the only other players to average over 15 points per game in the 2009-10 season. (each averaging 15.8 points) And the Cavaliers still had the best record in the league that year. Lebron on the other hand lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. This shows how Lebron can successfully take over a team and have the best record in the league.
The team that the Heat have with Dwayne Wade, Chis Bosh and young point guard Mario Chalmers, Lebron has a better supporting cast then he had with the Cavaliers. But right now Dwayne wade is what is slowing up the team to a championship. Lebron just doesn't feel comfortable with another star on the floor at the same time and sharing the wealth with him. If the heat were to get a pass first type of point guard it would help them a whole lot, because Lebron would feel more comfortable and i think that is what what the Heat need. Lebron to feel comfortable scoring the ball whenever, because he certainly has the talent to score better than anyone in the league. But if the Heat were to get a big man or two, it would help them a lot in the rebounding category because the Center position is what the Heat are missing. Because Joel Anthony and Udonis Haslem aren't great Centers. A third option would be to build a better bench because the Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are the only players on the team to average more than ten points per game, and you need more players that average about 12 points per game rather than Dwayne Wade.
