I noticed his intensity off the opening tip, when he violently snatched the loose ball from a Wizards player.Twelve rebounds, two blocks, two steals: that’s all we need out of Wallace. The question is, can he do it on a consistent basis at his age anymore? 4. Wally Szczerbiak seemed primed to have a big game, but foul trouble limited him to just 16 minutes. He missed an open three early, but I liked his aggressiveness on the offensive end.5. The Cavs got 30 points from their bench, largely behind Gibson’s three-pointers and nine combined free throws from Joe Smith and Devin Brown. The bench players also grabbed 17 rebounds, compared to five from the Wizards bench.6.

The Cavs attempted 28 three-pointers, which is a lot for them. However, most of the attempts (read: the ones LeBron didn’t take) were the result of good ball rotation and finding open guys. I’m OK with that, especially when it’s Gibson and a red-hot West shooting the majority of them.LeBron made 3-of-8 and it seemed like he was really settling for jump shots. But he also shot 14 free throws, so he was attacking the basket too, much more so than in Game 3.7 34-12-7 I love him.. GENEVA (Reuters) – The World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert level over the deadly swine flu virus to phase 4 on Monday, indicating the infection could spread between humans to cause “community-level outbreaks.” World  |  Health  |  MexicoExperts held four hours of emergency talks on whether to raise the alert level from phase 3 due to the outbreak which has killed up to 149 people in Mexico and spread to the United States, Canada and Europe.”This can be interpreted as a significant step toward pandemic influenza, but also it is a phase which says that we are not there yet,” acting WHO Assistant Director-General Keiji Fukuda told a teleconference.”At this time, we think that we have taken a step in that direction but a pandemic is not considered inevitable at this time. The situation is fluid.”The scale of alert levels goes from 1 to 6. The system was set at phase 3 in 2005 when WHO introduced it to monitor bird flu.

The pandemic alert level has never before been raised.In a statement, the Geneva-based United Nations agency said that “containment of the outbreak is not feasible. Who was that guy wearing Carlos Delgado's No 21 out there today? Was it really him? Sure was Delgado finally had an out-free game. In fact, he finally had a multi-hit game, finishing 2/2 with two home runs and two walks.And what usually happens when the big guy hits? The Mets win, which they did today 6-3 over John Smoltz and the Atlanta Braves.Delgado, who was three for his last 34 entering today's game, smashed a homer off Smoltz in the third inning and another off reliever Will Ohman in the bottom of the seventh.The crowd gave Delgado a standing ovation, something the big guy has not had here in quite sometime. Lately, the former All-star slugger has been met with a serenade of boos from the Shea faithful.  However, he did not take a curtain call when the fans were giving him the ovation after his second bomb of the afternoon.

Is he back? Who knows, but for one day we got see what the Mets could do when the middle of the order hits with some power.Nelson Figueroa got his second victory of the season with another strong outing.The bullpen, especially Billy Wagner who chalked up his sixth save, was impressive again.Perhaps things have settled down Raul Casanova homered and went 3-4, as did Luis Castillo. Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran both went 1-4.Reyes' average has sunk to .237 and Beltran is hitting just .224.. * Q1 adj.
